Speaking with moderation, Christians in Honolulu stand unusually high for the proportion among them of persons who are deeply consecrated, hard workers for the salvation of their fellow men, and conspicuous for moral excellence. But, here as elsewhere, the majority of professing Christians are on a low plane of religious life. They deeply need lifting up to a condition of active piety. They have fallen into very fixed habits of selfindulgence. Their activities are much devoted to securing pleasure. Their energies are exerted in money-getting to a degree that dangerously encmaciics on They have their religious activity. drifted into ruts of habit which draw them downward rather than upward. 'Their prayers are brief and cold. 'They are incapacitated for asking their neighbors and friends to "come and see Jesus." Their hearts are torpid. 'Their lives are in a large degree worldly.

Mr. Yatman arrived per Alameda on the 34th. It had been his intention, on account of cholera here, to proceed directly to Australia. Finding however, that the epidemic had entirely disappeared he judged it wise to stop over and carry out the engagement previously made with our Y. .VI. C. A. Mr. Yatman has begun a series ot daily services. These are at present held in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. It is evident that this room must soon overflow. The subsequent place of meeting is not yet fixed upon. Mr. Yatman is exhibiting a higher order f tervor and spiritual power than any evangelist whom we have heard in Honolulu. It is earnestly hoped and expected that a genuine Revival will attend his labors. May the blessing come! May all Christian hearts open to seek it ! < Catholic Parasitic Missionary Enterprise. There is reported to have been developed recently in Australia a -wordy ecclesiastical hurricane." during a discussion of the subject of Church Reunion, initiated by Anglicans, and followed up by Roman Catholics, and aftervyards by Methodists and Congregationalists. "Cardinal Moran, the highest Roman Catholic dignitary in the colonies, 'waded in,' and in doing so, made an attack on Protestant missions. He told his hearers that the result of Protestantism was 'to sow religious discord broadcast, and to lead its votaries to the abyss of irreligion and superstition.' He asserted that, despite their humble resources, Catholic 81 The Friend. Number n missions had been crowned with abundant fruit ; while from even land the cry was heard that Protestant missions 'were fruitless, and then best friend*. and champions were the first to declare that, humanly speaking, to the divisions, and conflicting creeds of rival mission anes this lack of results was due.' On such a series of astounding misrepresentations did the Cardinal base his appeals for all 'outside the saving fold' to "This brought enter therein." Dr. GeOrge Brown, theGeneral Secretary of the Wesleyan Missionary Society, into the lists, and at his lecture, Dr. Saumarez Smith, the Anglican Primate of Australia showed his sympathy by taking the chair. "Cardinal Moran met more than his match in Dr. Brown, who is a born tighter and on many occasions has proved himselfbad to beat. He knows, probably, as much about the Polynesian races as any living man, speaks most of their languages, has explored hundreds of miles of previously unknown coast line, and founded missions by the score. Not content with defending Protestant missions, he carried the war into the enemy's country by declaring and quoting facts to prove that Roman Catholic missionaries only go where Protestants have pioneered and made the way safe, and quoted Fiji in illustration. From that country the Roman Catholics kept aloof while its people were savage cannibals. They invaded it after Christian civiliza tion had made it a nation and with all the attractive pomp and display possible. Yet out of 1011,(100, there are now only 7,000 Roman Catholics, all the rest being worshippers in the Methodist churches." To the Fiji illustration, our Hawaiian Board can add that of recent Romish intrusion in the Gilbert Islands, after our Board had maintained a Protestant mission there for thirty five years, amid severe hardships and perils from lavage hostility. After a majority of the people had accepted Christianity, and the British Government had reduced the remaining savages into subjection to order and law, then, when all danger was over, the Romish priests came in strong force, and began their work by proclaiming deadly hostility to Protestants, and enlisting all their bitter savage enemies under the Catholic banner, in order to overcome the preachers of the Gospel. See in The Fkii.no for May, Miss Hoppin's story of combined priestly and heathen violence at Nonouti in the effort to tear away her scholar Teria, who wonderfully esraped from their clutches Miss Hoppin's account was corroborated by Capt.

Marshall and Francis Johnson had formed a partnership, styled Marshall & Johnson, for "transacting a general mercantile business" at Honolulu. With them Captain Brewer joined, and to them transferred his business when he came home in 184!). August 31, 1847, the partnership of these three expired by limitation, and a new firm took "the warehouse recently occupied by them," and also the business, under the style of— S. H. Williams S> Co., a firm that lasted from 1847 to 1860. The members were Stephen H. Williams, James F. B. Marshall, and Wm. Baker, Jr. June 17, 1848, Benjamin F. Snow was admitted a partner. During this partnership the discovery of gold in California helped to enlarge business, as also did whaling. B. F. Snow, (as he signed) on Sept. 16, 1060, reported (by lettei to J. H.) that he was "successor of the firm of S. H. Williams & Co." He continued to receive business that had gone to that house. On February 21st, 1856, he departed for New York, and left his affairs with B. W. Field. The succession in the house, however, was through— Charles Brewer, 2il, a nephew of Captain Chas. Brewer, with whom he had been, 1843-1845. Contemporaneously with Mr. Snow he was in business, and also doing that which went to the house, and all, or most of it, by 1866.* In September, 1859, Sherman Peck joined him, and the firm again became— C. Brewer &• Co., a style that has continued from iBsg to the present date, often with no one by the name of Brewer in it at Honolulu. In the period 1826-59, or thirty-three years, there were four, 1843-47, when it had been the style. Mr. Brewer retired in the summer of 1861, and October Bth, Mr. Peck was joined by Charles H. Lunt, who had arrived during the preceding month. In August, 1862, they were joined by H. A. P. Carter. Mr. Lunt, who returned to Boston in the summer of 1862, retired in May, 1863. All the members of the house who have been named are now (1895) dead. This sketch of the changes during forty years 1826-66, may very properly be followed by another with brief, notice ol their personal history, which will show their thoroughly New England character and their services, public as well as mercantile. James Hunnewell was born, in Charlestown, Mass., Feb. 10, 1794, and died in his home there, May I, 1869. His family of Hunnewells had lived on Massachusetts ground for over two centuries, and his mother's, Frothingham, since 1630. He married Susan Lamson, whose family had been as long in • Several ~fthese datesand changes are given In circulars issued at various times, and in Mr. Hunnewcll's files of letters continuous for over forty years, as also was hit business with tae house. �Vol. 53, No. 11.] the state. In him the missionaries and the natives had one of their best friends. At his death the king, Kamehameha V., in a valued letter to the present writer, said: "The name of the late James Hunnewell was early associated with the commercial interests of these Islands, and his long and useful life was marked by such constant goodwill to my kingdom, that I shall always cherish his memory with sincere regard. Although he was only removed in the fulness of time, I deeply sympathize with you in the loss of such a parent, but I congratulate you in the inheritance of such an honored name." Charles Brewer was born in Boston, March 27, 1801. He was descended from Daniel Brewer, who settled in Rox bury, Mass., in 1632, and died, on an cestral ground, at his home in Jamaica Plain. His funeral, Oct. 13, 1885, was attended by a remarkable representation of Hawaii. In 18J0 he married Martha D. Turner, at Charlestown, where her father was a Universalist minister, 1814 36. He was much esteemed, and although little in public life, so called, he was widely and well known. Henry Alpheus Pierce, son of Joseph H., was born in Dorchester, Mass., Dec. 15, 1808, and died in San Francisco, July 29, 1885. For about thirty years he lived in Charlestown and Boston, and married Susan R. Thompson, of an old family in the former city. He traveled extensively in Mexico and South America. He was a pioneer in the sugar industry at the Islands, but was too early in and out of it to realize its gains, and lacked success in an attempt at the South after the Civil War. After leaving business he was, from July, 1869, to Sept., 1877, the Minister of the United States, resident in Hawaii. James Fowle Baldwin Marshall, son of a native of Boston, was born there in August, 1818, and died at his home in Weston, Mass., May 6, 1891. He arrived at the Islands in 1839. He married Martha Twycross Johnson, of Charlestown. His public services in and for Hawaii, especially her independence, were distinguished. After leaving mercantile business he was during the Civil War in the Sanitary Commission, and later a paymaster general of Massachusetts for the army —there were all told 150,000 men that the State sent to the front. In this office he had the rank of Brigadier General. Like the accounts of the old Honolulu house, his for the Commonwealth were of the first class. After the war he joined another Hawaiian worthy, General S. C. Armstrong and, 1870-84, became a manager of that great benevolent institution, the Hampton School. F"or Hawaiian, African, or Indian, his work was good and enduring. Benjamin F. Snow was born in Boston and, at the age of 60, in Honolulu, Dec. 19, 1866, on the fortieth anniversary of his arrival there, he died, greatly esteemed and respected. 83 THE FRIEND Charles Brewer, 2d, son of Isaac C, of Boston, was born there Sept. 14, 1823, and died in Honolulu, June 4, 1863, another good New England Hawaiian. Sherman Peck was born in Berlin, Conn., Dec. 28, 1800, and died in Honolulu, June 17, 1871. His first American ancestor was Paul Peck, who arrived in Boston in 1635, and] the next year became one of the early settlers of the Connecticut Colony. Sherman Peck was widely esteemed. Henry A. P. Carter was born in Honolulu in 1837; was educated in Boston, and retired from business in 1874. He died in New York, Nov. 1, I8«jl. At the Islands he had "almost every position of honor and trust" there, among other offices that of Minister of Foreign Affairs. In 1876, and later, he was the Minister Plenipotentiary of Hawaii at Washington, where he had an honorable and honored place among the diplomatic representatives of the world. Nations larger than Hawaii would be well off if they always had a representative as good and able. The old house, of which the earlier history has been told, still flourishes, one of the very few American houses outside the United States —and not many there —of its age or nearly its age. No house begins and continues as it has, except on sound principles steadily practised. Integrity, enterprise and well made accounts have always been its characteristics. Besides their thoroughly good mercantile qualities, its managers have been a least as noted for their services in good citizenship, in philanthrophy, nnd in public affairs—and this estimate of their character and conduct is here expressed by one who has personally known, or known of, both from the beginning. This account of the more distant past may well be followed by another on the history of the house during the last thirty years. In closing this, it is only justice to say that few houses have had, and still have, a roll of members better or more widely known. Their past and present are worthy of each other. We all know the high position and reputation held by the living president of the company that the house has become. In religious and in political affairs, as well as those of business, we cordially esteem, and we wish long life to, Peter Cushman Jones. And to the several other good men in it, we also wish long life, especially to that sterling merchant, patriot, and philanthropist, who would honor any community, the Honorable Charles Reed Bishop. Long may the good old house prosper! It has been a credit not only to itself, but to both the American and the Hawaiian rtame, and may its long past be the shortest part of its history. James F. Hunnewell. Charlestown, September 21, 1895. A Plea for Simplicity. "There can be no dispute that projects are contemplated which, if sanctioned and shaped by legislation, would not only afford lodgment to ideas and opinions, but would bring into being offices and officers, titles, badges, marks ofrank, grades of authority, heretofore not known in the church in the United States. If they would promote or illustrate its apostolicity, its catholicity, its orthodoxy, or its sanctity, they deserve to be encouraged. II they are essentially hierarchical, they cannot be too soon swept out of the path of the kingdom which the Gospel proclaims. "Civilization is dogged in its merry march by three cruel seducers—luxury, frivolity and vanity. They will thrust their tawdry pomp into the advance, led by the bride of Christ, if they can. She may well look anxiously and pathetically on her children, who are not of this world, needing for herself no meretricious attractions upon her chaste beauty to win them, no tiara on her forehead to impress them with her royalty, no array of mortal distinctions to make her majesty more august. They who imagine that the Lord's Sacraments are honored or venerable in proportion to the barbaric parade of the function, forget the principles of art hardly less than of the religion of the Son of God, and are almost as untaught by the culture of Athens as by the simplicity of Nazareth. A state can have the virtue of order without political finesse ordiplomatic fuss, and the Church can have the grace of sacraments in its fullness without being spectacular, or effervescent, or mimetic. One does not see how the very plain duties of a presiding bishop would be better discharged if he were titled archbishop, patriarch, metropolitan or primate, or how the helpers in our domestic and rural mis sions are to be strengthened by the decoration of a foreign nomenclature." —Bishop F. D. Huntington. Cholera Nostras? A recently arrived German physician, Dr. G. C. Surmann, has addressed an ably written letter to the Board of Health, in which he maintains that the late epidemic was not at all Asiatic cholera, but Cholera Nostras, "the symptoms of which in acute cases greatly resemble those of Asiatic cholera." Medical opinion here wholly preponderates against Dr. Surmann. The extreme malignancy of the disease was very marked in moat of the cases. Microscopic slides of the comma bacillus found in the excreta have been forwarded to Germany for expert verification. �84 [November, 1895 THE FRIEND. Alexander's "Islands of the Pacific." Oahu College. Free Kindergarten Association. " The Islands of the Pacific. From the old to the new* A compendious sketch of missions in the Pacific. By Rev. James M. Alexander." American Tract Society, pp. 595. This admirable book has only just come to hand, and can receive now only a brief notice. As described in the title page, its leading feature is a condensed account ot Christian missionary enterprise among the Pacific Islanders. It supplies, however, a long existing want, by giving brief and accurate descriptions of the various island archipelagoes, of their inhabitants and history. Mr. Alexander has executed his task with much of the characteristic painstaking and accuracy of his eminent brother, W. D. Alexander, as well as with something of the latter's felicity ol diction. As a missionary's son from Hawaii, this work has been to him a labor of love, for which he was peculiarly qualified. There are nine maps in the book, also sixty-four half-tone plates, most of which have not hitherto been published. It is the most useful contribution to the literature of the Pacific that has appeared for some years. This favorite institution opened its fall term Oct. 7th, with a strong corps of able instructors. The return of Mr. J. Q. Wood is especially welcomed. Prof. A. B. Ingalls, who succeeds the accomplished Dr. Lyons, brings a good record as a scientist from Amherst and Williams Colleges. Very perfect sanitary arrangements are provided at both the College and at the Preparatory department at the head of Richards Street. At both places also the drinking water is boiled and filtered. The first annual meeting of the Free Kindergarten and Children's Aid Association was held on the morning of the 4th October in the Y. If. C. A. hall. The charter was accepted which had been granted by the Government. The following officers were elected for the year President—Mrs. C. M. Hyde. Vice-Presidents—Mrs. W. F. Allen. Mrs S. B. Dole, Mrs. T. R. Walker. Recording Secretary Miss Margaret Hopper. Financial Secretary Mrs. H. C. Coleman. Treasurer —Mrs. Arthur B. Wood. Auditor —Mr. W. A. Bowen. Mrs. Coleman, who is the chief moving spirit of the association, expressed her thanks for the help and encouragement she had received. In presenting hei report of income and expenses for the past year, she pointed out that for the coming year the regular expenses would necessarily be increased, while a number of pledges had fallen off. There was SI,OOO in the treasury to begin the work of the year. The pledges received from subscribers are expected to yield about $1,900, Expenses for the coming year are estimated at $3,400. It is greatly desired to enlarge the work by extending it to the other islands, whence most urgent calls have come. Y. M. C. A. Gymnasium. In passing or visiting the Y. M. C. A. building, one's attention is apt to be attracted by lively sounds of activity proceeding from the new gymnasium. The room is large and cheerful. It is abundantly furnished with a great variety of apparatus for exercise. The use of the various appliances is carefully taught under the direction of Secretary Corbett. who is an experienced gymnast. Each person exercising undergoes previous medical examination to determine what exercises he is fit to practice. The gymnasium promises to be a powerful attraction to the youth of this city, drawing The New High School. them towards the physically best, and it may be hoped, towards what is spiritually This fine institution has gone into best successful operation, with a large body To bear railing philosophically. of pupils and a full corps of instructors, under the able prmcipalship of Prof. M.

He had risen at 4 steamer. a.m., and was at his desk in his home writing for his paper, when he was Footbinding Punished for the First Time in Honolulu. seized with a heart attack and speedily Joseph U. Kawainui. expired. Mr. Kawamui was born at Hana, Maui, in 1841. He was educated in English at the Royal School. He began his newspaper career in 1865 as an assistant to Rev. Dr. L. H. Gulick who had started the Kuokoa, with the especial aim of opposing the absolutist and heathenizing|tendencies of the then king, Kamehanieha Y. From Mr. Gulick, Kawainui absorbed many of those sentiments which determined his later political attitude. After Dr. Gulick left, Kawainui continued with H. M. Whitney in editorial charge of the Kuokoa. In 1878, he started an independent paper of his own the Pae Aina, which he conducted with some success until 1892, when he resumed the charge of the Kuokoa, still published by Mr. Whitney. Kawainui was a native of unusual intelligence. His knowledge of English gave him full access to the news of the world for the enlightenment of his native He was for many years a readers. member of Kalakaua's Privy Council. At the time of his death he was a member of the Council of State. Special Government honors were paid at his funeral. During his later years the deceased was a consistent professor of religion, and an active and serviceable member of Kawaiahao Church. His disposition was amiable. He possessed in a degree unusual among natives the capacity for steady and patient work, as well as great tact and good sense. His death must be esteemed a most serious loss to the native people and -to the country. Filling a Swamp. The Dredger is excavating the upper end of the harbor, beginning at the old fish market. The mud is being delivered upon the swamp west of Nuuanu stream above King street. The Government owns six acres of this which, when filled, is to be a Park much needed in that part of the city. This work will take several months. When completed, there will be room for a large number of new docks where have hitherto been mud flats. The largest mail ever sent from the Honolulu Post office, was carried by the Australia October 2d. It consisted of 12,304 letters and 4,933 papers. No mail had gone for 24 days, owing to the absurd refusal of the Alameda, Sept. 19, to take our fumigated mails. --- On the 11 th a fine of !>2:"> was imposed upon LongChing Kee for binding the feet of his child, who hatl been found by the cholera inspectors in a condition of acute suffering from that process. Dr. Emerson testified that " the smaller toes were bent under and onto the soles of the feet, and the forepart of the foot was bent back to the heel and kept in that position by bandages, causing a dislocation of the bones of the instep." A law was enacted at the late session of the Legislature, prohibiting this terribly cruel practice, which, besides {he terrible agony it causes, cripples for life its victims. There have been many such cases in Honolulu, and no doubt others are concealed., 85 The last case of Cholera. After the end ot the epidemic Sept. 18th, there were, during the following fifteen days, three scattering cases. The very last case occurred on the night of October 2d, that of an elderly white inmate of the Insane Asylum, named Wheeler. He was known to have drank of the water flowing among taro patches, such as five days before had caused the death of another patient. The Board of Health at once caused several acres of taro patches, believed to be infected, to be dried up. The Rev. Kenneth Duncan was a Presbyterian minister of rare ability, fine culture, and seemingly of deep spiritual experience. He preached among us here in a most acceptable manner. It was known, however, that after occupying important pulpits, he had twice succumbed to a resistless appetite lor intoxicants. It is learned with deep regret that on returning to the Coast he again fell before his old enemy, and that his name has been finally dropped from the roll of Presbyttty.

This pane |g, devoted to the interests nf the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed hy the Hoard, is responsihle for its contents. Rev. 0. P. Emerson, - Editor. The Waialua Association. The Association which met at Waialua Oct. 23 '21, was attended by all but two of the pastors of the island. Kvery church hut one was represented either by pastoi, preacher or delegate. The most important feature of the meeting was its harmony. This feature has been reported from every Association meeting held thus far. It was pleasant to note the interest the Waialua people took in this meeting. Numbers were on hand at every session, and at the Christian Endeavor social held the last evening, nearly every body in the district was present. There were over 200 people there. The remark was made that this organization has an easy time of it now, for most every body has been reached and brought to church. One of the notable acts of the Association was the appointment of a committee to consider how all the churches of the island, the Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese, as well as the Central Union, may be brought into the Association. It was felt also that the Association should be responsible in seeing that every pastor on the island should have at least $300 salary, and a committee was appointed, consisting of Revs. Timoteo, Emerson and Gulick, to try and achieve this result. Mr. Gulick is the treasurer of the committee, and is authorized to solicit funds from those friendly to the work of the Hawaiian pastor. The case of M. Lutera, the presumably demented preacher and late missionary to the Gilbert Islanders, was referred to a committee who are to investigate his condition and report at the next meeting of the Association. The people at Waianae were asked to defer action on their call to him to be come their preacher till this committee might report. The next meeting of the Association is to be held at Kaumakapili Church in April, 1896. Report of the Japanese Work. From the arrival of Rev. J. Okabe, about five years ago tor evangelical work, Hilo has been the point of the most successful work for the Japanese upon the islands. Since the transference of Mr. Okabe Honolulu, two evangelists have successfully conducted the Hilo city work. to 87 THE FRIEND Rev. Mr. Sugiyama for seventeen months has been the acceptable and successful pastor of the Hilo Church. All the work for the Japanese laborers in this country partakes of the character of a seaman's chaplain's work, in that the audiences are continually and rapidly changing. This fact is strikingly illustrated by the conditions of the Hilo work. The records of the church show that 2fio or 270 persons have become members of that church since Mr. Okabe commenced work there, about five yeais ago,—the most of these on profession ot faith. Ot this large number, to day but about M can be found in Hilo and vicinity. A few have died, but the great majority have moved away to other parts ; many to other districts or places upon these islands, some to America, but the larger portion have returned to Japan. Truly service for Japanese upon these islands is casting our bread upon the waters. After many days the seed sown will bear fruit, some of it upon these islands, some in America, but much of it, most of it, in Japan. Rev. M. Sugiyama who left Hilo in August and who sailed on Saturday for further study in the U. S., is a man of much culture, possessing a thorough knowledge of English, and is a man of power as preacher and pastor. He was much beloved in Hilo by Japanese and foreigners alike. Mr. J. Kawabe, a graduate of the Doshisha College, and theological dc partment, arrived in Hilo just before Mr. Sugiyama left and entered at once with earnest spirit upon the work. He gives much promise of usefulness. On the last Sabbath in Sept. twelve persons, eleven men and one woman, were baptized in the Hilo Church, as the result of the labors of Mr. Sugiyama in Hilo, and Mr. Sasakura in Papaikou. Mr. and Mrs. Sasakura are holding on in Papaikou where they exert an influence for good. Her projects for Kindergarten work have not been carried out owing to ill health. Mr. Sokabe at Honomu has held many meetings, and like his two brethren is occupied with classes or evening meetings nearly every evening in the week. Inability to speak the English language excludes him from intercourse with foreign friends, and from appreciative sympathy in his faithful work. Mrs Soo, the Japanese Bible woman who is supported by the Woman's Board of the Hawaiian Islands, accompanied us to Hilo: and did good work among the needy Japanese women of Hilo, Wainaku and Papaikou plantations. Kohala is in some respects the most encouraging Japanese field on the islands. Mr. S. Kanda, the efficient evangelist of this station has been at this post two years, and is deep in his work. He holds meetings or classes five evenings in the week; thus reaching some of the laborers on each ofthe five plantation every week. At Niulii, at one remote camp, there is an interesting company of :ll Kumamoto people, "-'7 men and ft women, all from the vicinity of Otamura, six miles south ofKumanioto city. This company upon arrival eight months ago, pledged themselves to each othel to abstain from strong drink, and from gambling. These two besetting vices have been thus excluded from this camp. Partly as a consequence, this company has remitted to their friends in Japan during the past eight month*, eight hundred dollars. Your missionary in company with Mr. Kanda visited and spoke to this interesting and Ittentative company. This camp constitute*, one of the bright spots in the Kohala field. On the Sabbath, the I:sth of October, on the occasion of the observance of the Lord's Supper, two Japanese men made profession of faith in Christ ; while a company of forty-five attended the service. The Japanese Bible woman here held meetings with her countrywomen on the Kohala plantation: and it was thought best that she remain here for a month of work among the needy ones ; Rev. and Mrs. Ostrom affording her a home, and that moral and Christian support which every good cause receives at their hands. (). H. Gn.UK. In addition to Mr. Citilick's report of the work on the Island of Hawaii, the following facts may be given of the work on the Islands of Maui, Oahu and Kauai : Key.

For that purpose we spent about fifteen dollars which we had raised from among There were twelve our own people. seekers of baptisms, but nine of whom were chosen, and the other three were asked to wait for further examination. The nine were received on confession of faith. Japanese came from almost all parts of Maui to attend the service. The Japanese Methodist preacher from Spreckelsville was present, also Mr. Gomi and other friends from Kula. A number of white people were present. I saw Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay, Mr. and Mrs. Loveland, Mrs. Praming and Miss Beckwith. Dr. Beckwith was too busy on that day in attendance at his second service at Makawao, so he did not come, but he sent us beautiful flowers. The service was cpened at 2:30 p.m., and closed at ft.

We have an evening school for young men three nights out of the week —a night each in Waihee, After the Wailuku and "Waikapu. school we have a prayer meeting in each place." This is to be a week of deep interest with the Japanese congregation of this city. At the morning service of the 3d inst. there is to be sung the national hymn in recognition of the birthday of their emperor ; in the evening the sacra ment of the Lord's supper is to be celebrated, when it is expected that there will be eight accessions to the membership of the church. While Mr. Okumura has charge of the city congrega tion, Mr. Nishiyama gathers one in Ewa, which he visits twice a week. Mr. Yamazaki, who is in charge of the mission at Lihue, Kauai, and who also visits the station at Koloa, has been suffering from an attack of malarial fever, from which he is now recovering. Perhaps Mr. Yeguchi, of Makaweli, has as large and as compact a field as there is in the group, no less than 1000 Japanese being in its center and on the Makaweli plantation alone. Rev. S. T. Uyeda, wife and child are expected by the next steamer from Yokohama. He is coming to reinforce our Japanese mission. He will make the twelfth in number of our evangelists. When he comes it is probable that a station will be taken in Kail. Mr, Uyeda has had considerable experience as a worker in Shanghai, and it is expected that he will prove quite an acquisition to our force. A Three Days' Student of the Missionary Fathers. How shall we take the remarks of the head of the Salvation Army of the Pacific Coast in the person of Brig. Keppel, when, after a three days' visit to Honolulu, he opened his mouth and addressed a reporter of the "War Cry" as follows: "The missionaries of old attacked the Hawaiians in a general and intellectual fashion. There was, therefore, nothing in the nature of a spiritual intimacy cultivated between the natives and their teachers, and many superstitions and habits of the former were left untouched, that should systematically have been attacked. As a consequence, the natives, while they are pleased, are at the same time somewhat embarrassed by the absolute equality in which they find themselves associated with us, and are unequivocally surprised, even pained at certain moral demands made upon them. They have so long been used, as it were, to being handled with missionary tongs; to being placed upon a plane of acknowledged inferiority; to being accounted as Christians without finding it necessary many cases, as if the Salvation Army, while delightfully broad in its socialism, is quite too stringent in its spirituality" Does Mr. Keppel mean to imply that the missionary fathers did not beat a big bass drum when they gathered their followers, or that the missionary mothers did not rattle tambourines before their audiences ? If so, he is right. The christian world was not given to that sort of thing then, and those revered fathers and mothers may be excused foi being a little more sedate than the halle lujah lads and lasses of the Salvation Army. Does he mean that the demonstrative and noisy methods of the Salvation Army are best conducive in general to spirituality ? There are those who hold a different opinion. Why does he charge tbe missionaries with being unspiritual ? It is about the last charge ever brought to their door. They have been charged with being too spirituallyminded in their ways that they were too strict in their moral teachings. They were never before charged with looseness and neglect in mttters touching the conduct of life All the blame so far has been the other way. But did the old missionaries really reach the people ? Let Mr. Keppel read the story of their noble, sweet loving lives. No people ever went more out ol themselves and into others' lives. As preachers and teachers of spiritual truth, as pastors to the troubled and sinful, as advisers, helpers, guides, physicians and nurses of the ignorant, the sick and the troubled, no body of workers ever surpassed them. Let Mr. Keppel get his information from those that know. Let him go to Waimea and question the people of father Lyons' parish, or that of father Paris' parish, or those of father Alexander or Baldwin, Bishop, Smith or Bond, or Parker, or Emerson, as I have done again and again, and he will not say that those fathers were not loved by their people, that they did not feel them supremely in their lives as a spiritual power, or that they were careless of the morals of their people. About the last charge that can be laid to the door of the missionary fathers is that they were not in spiritual touch with their people. They were intellectual men and women, and they had to be, to be able to begin where they did, reduce a language to writing and create its literature. But this intellectuality did notdeter them from coming into personal touch with the people. Let Mr. Keppel be careful how in the future he sets himself up as a teacher of the truth, for by this talk of his, it is seen that he has made "a bad break." Let him next time take more than three days for his studies of Hawaiian missions. We are willing to put up with the peculiar methods of our brethren of the Salvation Army. We are willing to say God-speed to them in all their disinterested labors, but let them and sown for halt a century by criticising the methods, the teachings and lives of men and women who were as pure and noble as this age has seen. O. P. E. Epigrams by Mr. Yatman. From Reports in Hawaiian Star. A genuine revival means human pros pcrity. You can never get a people genuinely Christian, and keep them submerged. The divine test of a Christian is to see Jesus Christ. The sight of Christ broadens, enables, strengthens a man. The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just. What is the secret of my life ? To get people to see Jesus. Won't you join me in that purpose ? If you want to be miserable, look within ; if you want to be distracted, look without: if you want to be happy, look to Jesus.

The beloved evangelist has wrought four weeks in Honolulu, and has departed to fresh fields of labor. He has left much good fruit behind him. The Lord of the harvest has greatly blessed our brother's labors, in delightfully quickening the love and zeal of Christians, and in causing the hearts of a large number of youths and older people to respond to the Divine call, and openly avow their acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Brother Peck, pastor of the If. E. Church in this city, has by request, contributed to these columns a valuable history of Mr. Yatman's labors here. For our part, the peculiarities in the evangelist which most impressed us were his cheerful geniality, his ardent faith, and capacity for constant hard work. Tact and good sense were conspicuous, with a clear understanding of the Scriptures, and great directness and spiritual power in teaching divine truth to the people. Our Christian workers will have gained much inspiration, and learned much practical wisdom in winning and guiding souls, from the work of the month. A great and responsible labor is now theirs, in confirming the many new-born souls 89 NIIMHKR 12 The present writer speaks from a vivid recollection of ■ period of sixty years and more in the past, when, often a guest in the old Mission House still standing, we children experienced the motherly and gracious kindness of the mistress of the house, heavily burdened as she was with cares and somewhat feeble health. Mr. Bingham by ability and personal force, was easily the leading spirit among his brother missionaries, and had long secured the entire confidence of the leading native chiefs. But it had been Mrs. Bingham who had gained the almost worshipping love of tbe powerful Regent Raahumanu, whose fierce, imperious nature had become lamb like before Christ and His servants. And Eaahumanu's immense authority was a leading factor in securing at a very early date the close attention of the people to the Gospel. This little book seems to us the choicest among several choice volumes of personal memoirs snd recollections of early missionary life in Hawaii. The writer requests mention that the proceeds ot copies sold in Honolulu are to be to the treasury of the Woman's Hoard, and that the booklet will make suitable and simple gifts for Christmas. well as the hundreds more who remained outside, perhaps unwilling to enter a Protestant house of worship.

New Methodist Church.

The audience room will hold between 300 and 400 people. The lot is a large one and will have space for a larger and more durable church should such be needed in the future. High School Dedication. Formal Dedication Exercises were held at 3 p. m. on November Ist in the spacious rooms of the new Public High School. Tbe rooms were crowded to their utmost capacity with friends and relatives of the scholars. After a short address of welcome by the Principal, Mr. M. Scott, MissGirvin, a pupil, spoke a graceful welcome to the visitors. Prof. Alexander the President of the Board of Education, followed with an appropriate address. He spoke of the liberality ofthe trustees of the Bishop Estate, and that ot the Government, in furnishing the palatial building and grounds; and of the fact that for years high school studies had been successfully pursued in Fort Street School, so that this Institution was only the transplanting of a well grown tree. He hoped that worthy conduct of the pupils would correspond to their beautiful environment, and that its luxuriousness would not abate their generous aider in study. Dole made a pleasant talk, ; how the barefoot boys jumped the i, while the booted ones fell into ud. Mrs. Dillingham read a lively ry on the "Hill of Knowledge." ctor-General Atkinson spoke of the immense advance in education that he had witnessed here in twenty-six years. He hoped this High School would soon be made tuition free. After the singing of a Dedicatory Hymn by Philip H. Dodge, the visitors were invited to inspect the building and the beautiful grounds. Isident Envoy and Minister F. M. Hatch sailed for his post at Washington per Coptic November 7th. He will find himself speedily called into very active duty in watching the action of Congress upon the subject of a Cable to Honolulu and upon that of the annexation of Hawaii. [December, 1895 THE FRIEND 92 Kawaiahao Church Re-opened. After thirteen months closure of the venerable edifice, Kawaiahao Church was re-opened for the public worship of God on the morning of Sunday, November 7th. It was a joyful occasion. The new and beautiful interior greeted the assembling congregation with its fresh, ornate and cheerful aspect. A large audience assembled, fairly filling the floor and spacious galleries. The organ rang out its glorious notes under the skilled hand of Prof. Berger. The pulpit stage was richly decorated with palms, ferns and flowers, some of the latter on two costly stands presented by Mrs. John Robinson. In the audience were the students of Kawaiahao and Kamehameha schools. A large number of prominent foreigners were also present. Participant in the exercises were the pastor Rev. H. H. Parker, Revs. Waiarfiau of Kaumakapili, Desha of Hilo, Kapu of Wailuku, O. P. Emerson, Hiram Bingham, C. M. Hyde D. D. and Messrs. E. Bailey and P. C. Jones. The pastor confined himself to announc ing the parts of theothers and to notices. Messrs. Kapu and Emerson offered prayers, the former most impressively. Messrs. Bailey and Bingham gave interesting reminiscences of early days. Father Bailey is the last survivor of the missionary men who saw the old Stone Church built. Three infants were baptized by Mr. Desha, one of them a niece. Mr. Desha preached a vigorous sermon from Haggai 2:9. "The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former." Early in the services, the treasurer of the repair Committee, Mr. P. C. Jones, read the report of receipts and expenditures upon the work, as follows: Total collections for account church repairs, $11,673.65: total cash, repairs of church, $11,419.94; leaving a balance of $253.75 after paying all bills. Electric light collections, $675.15; electric light expenses, $400; leaving a balance of $275.15, which added to the building fund balance of $253.75, makes a total of $528.90; $"»75.51 was paid for lanai material. There remains a balance in hand of $253.39. It should be stated that of the above collections, $1000 each was given by Messrs. C. R. Bishop and Theophilus H. Davies. Several other munificent donations were received. The natives contributed freely according to their limited ability. Should the lanai, in which the congregation have worshipped for over a year, be removed, the sale of the material will add something to the balance. The interior showed additional beauty from the electric lights in the evening. There were four of eight bulbs each, and forty single lights distributed through the house. The choir are accommodated in a spacious gallery behind the pulpit, and in front of the organ. The ceiling is elegantly recessed and paneled in redwood and fir. The galleries are richly panneled in the same. A great change is made in the galleries by removing the front third on each side, and by running a new gallery across the back. The church is entirely new except the walls, the windows and the tower. The old woodwork was entirely stripped out from ground to ridge pole. The rafters and stringers had been completely riddled by the white ants. The soid coral walls remain. The external aspect is unchanged, a grand monument of the Christian zeal and resolve that erected this great church 55 years ago, in the days of the old chiefs and in the prime of missionary activity. Devout thanks be to God for the Christian love and kindness of those who have so nobly come to help and restore this old monument and make it a fitting sanctuary for the present generation of the Hawaiian people. May it be a place where the Holy Spirit shall inspire preachers and people and bring multitudes of souls into the fellowship of Christ. Campbellite Church. Our esteemed brother the Rev. T. D. Garvin, and his flock, of the "Christian" (Campbellite Baptist) Church, occupied on November 17th for the first time their new church edifice just above the corner of King and Alakea Streets. They are to be congratulated on their much improved though still narrow quarters. It is to be hoped that in due time they will outgrow these, as well as what seems to us the extremely narrow sectarianism of these otherwise excellent Christians. Judge Henry E. Cooper, has taken the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs vacated by Mr. Hatch. Mr. Cooper is 38 years of age. H.e was admitted to the bar in Boston in 1879. He came to Honolulu from San Diego in 1890, and read the Proclamation of the Committee of Safety, establishing the Provisional Government, January 17, 1893, an act demanding much nerve. New Missionary Yacht. The new Robert W. Logan, sailed for Honolulu from San Francisco on the 16th Nov. She is in charge of Capt. Bray, who will take her as far as Ruk. We may expect her here any day. The new schooner is about the same size as her missing predecessor, and no doubt in some respects an improvement on the latter. We may all rejoice with Brother Price in this great and needed adjunct to his important work not only in the Mortlocks but in the islands beyond Ruk. �Vol. 53, No. 12.] Annis Montague Coming Home. Mrs. Mary Annis Cooke Turner, the eminent opera star, who has long sung under the above name, is about to take up her residence in Honolulu. She was accorded distinguished honors at Sydney prior to her departure from that city, where she had chiefly made her residence for several years. Kate Field Here. The distinguished Washington journalist, Miss Kate Field is in Honolulu. She has come for recuperation of health. Her errand is partly also to personally inspect Hawaiian conditions as to their bearing upon Annexation. Her published statements will be awaited with interest. A Catholic Version of Hawaiian Affairs. There has just been received the following excerpt from the Roman Catholic newspaper organ in San Francisco, The Monitor, of September Ist, 1894. Presumably it embodies the representations sent abroad by the Catholic Bishop and priests of Honolulu as well as their attitude in respect to affairs in these Islands. "There is now some hope for the Hawaiians; the Salvation Army is taking up their case. The preachers have been over there for fifty years; the only result of their labors seems to be the degradation of the native race and their impoverishment. The preachers saw it was a good land and they absorbed it. They destroyed the native worship; they did not replace it by Christianity; they persecuted the Catholic missionaries; it was only at the cannon's mouth that France compelled them to grant freedom of worship. To-day the race is sunk in immorality and is fast disappearing, but the preachers and their descendants now possess the wealth and the government of the country. Any religion to be found in the islands is that which the Catholic missionaries have taught. The hybrid Protestantism which the preachers have introduced is not far from pure paganism. The Salvation Army, seeing this state of things, are sending over a detachment of their people, and hope to teach Christianity. Anything they may do is better than what has been done by the preachers. If the Salvationists can introduce morality and religion among the natives, they will be preparing them for the full light of Catholicity." A friend lately returned from several years residence in Germany, states that after the Revolution of January 1893, she was beset by letters and inquiries from German friends asking her "what horrible creatures were this American THE FRIEND Dole and his confreres who were robbing the natives of their lands and property, and inflicting inhuman tortures upon them. Those things were certainly true, for they found them in all their papers." Some active bureaus of misinformation have evidently been hard at work here to disseminate misstatements abroad. More Political Prisoners released. With the advice of the Council of State, the Executive on Thanksgiving Day, released two white and five native prisoners. The two white men were under long sentences, having had lead ing parts in the insurrection. Mr. Rickard was one of the four chief conspirators. Mr. Walker manufactured the dynamite bombs. It is understood that these two were made the object of special leniency on account of their having large families which were suffering, as well as on account of their manifest regret for their former action. Two natives were still held, as well as four white leaders, to whom for various reasons, the Executive is not yet prepared to extend release. A petition asking for such general release had been sent to the Executive. It was signed by a large proportion of the supporters of the Government. Opposite opinions on the subject are as follows: That the stability of the government is so well established, that no farther danger ot conspiring to overthrow it is to be apprehended, and that the release of all the political offenders would be a conciliatory measure. On the other hand, many feel that so early a general release would place the Government in the position of making light of its own former attitude of severity towards those attempting its overthrow. The Executive evidently intend to be understood as treat ing the subject very seriously. It cannot be doubted that to the minds of the President and his colleagues it will be as great a relief as to us all when the time arrives when it is wise and proper to set free the last political prisoner. 93 in excess of any previous one. This is a yield of nearly nine and one-half tons to every laborer employed. Plantations. Census of Laborers on Sugar The following tabulated statement was presented by Mr. F. M.

The maximum term for which contracts bind laborers is three years. It is encouraging to learn that a majority of the laborers are free. RECORD OF EVENTS. Nov.

HONOLULU, 11. l This page is devoted to Ihe interest, of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Kdilor, appointed l>y the Board, is responsible forits cosssssss. Rev. O. P. Emerson, 95 THE FRIEND Vol. 53, No. 12} - Editor. The Robert Logan is about due from San Francisco. She was reported on the 9th. of Nov. as ready to leave on the following day. Rev. T. S. Uyeda and wife and child, lately from Japan, went to Hilo by the last steamer. Mr. Uyeda is to take charge of the Japanese church there, and Mr. Kawabe who, since the departure of the Rev. Sugiyama, has been the acting pastor, is to enter the new field of Kau on the other side of the island. Mr. Milikaa Moi, the theological student in charge of the parish of Kalihi and Moanalua, has been much encouraged, and his people also, by the generous offer of aid toward a regular salary, and also the promise of land for the building of a parsonage. This parish has for many years been in an enfeebled condition and unable to support a pastor. This offer of aid is most timely. The death of Mrs. A. V. Soares, so sad so grievious in its loss to the living, was but the rounding out of a beautiful and triumphant life which was lived for others. We mourn the loss of one so gifted and so good, of one who drew all to her and made them better, of one so held to earth by so sweet a family of little children; but it was glorious to leave all while having such a hold of all and so make even death an uplift toward God. We are glad that the Cabinet has seen fit not to grant a license for the selling of liquor at Waimea Kauai. We believe the refusal to do so shows a thoughtful regard for the interests of the native Hawaiians, the people mostly concerned in the matter. As one has remarked, "if liquor is to be drunk it would better be drunk privately." For the government to grant a license would to the native, be an approval of the use ofit. Moreover the experiment of licensingliquor which was tried at Koloa, Kauai, was not a success. Tobase the granting of licenses on local option would hardly be safe as yet in this land. It is as much as we can well do now to get on in our politics with a somewhat centralized form of government. We conceive that the situation touching the liquor question is not materially different. years ot his settlement in his parish. His poverty has not prevented him from doing the work of a faithful pastor, nor from speaking sturdy words against the flagrant immoralities of the people. In his extreme poverty he and his household have kept the integrity of their home-life and made their virtues to shine. And yet it is not always possible for a man with less money to do what he might with more. Mr. Kaalouahi was not at the last meeting of the association. The delegate threw out delicate hints as to the cause. After caieful inquiry it came out that the pastor's wardrobe was not such as to permit him to come. A man with only one pair of trousers, and that apair distinguished by certain marked blemishes, is not in a way to feel free to go far from home. The Hawaiian Board shall doubtless be Called on to subsidize this brother. Let any who may wish to send him a Christmas present, remember that he is a large man fully 6 ft. high. The doors of the grand old Kawaiahao meeting house are again open. The opening day was the 17th. of November, strong sermons, worthy the notable occasion, were preached by Revs. Desha and S. Kapu. Pastor Parker and his congregation are to be congratulated on The being so handsomely, housed. modernized interior is very attractive The main auditorium almost rivals that of Central Union Church. The architect and builder, Mr. Peter High, deserves praise for the fine work he has done. One of the most interesting statements made at the dedicatory exexcises of the morning was that of Mr. P. C. Jones, treaurer of the repair fund. He said that all the work was paid for. The whole cost, including the putting up of electric lights, was about $12,000. Most of this money was contributed to the people of Kawaiahao church by their white friends. Indeed without the generousaid which they thus received it would have been impossible for them to repair their church. Let the grateful remembrance of this fact be another bond to hold us together in every good work. Letter from Rev. James Kekela. A letter has come from Rev. James Kekela, the veteran missionary of the island of Hiwaoa, Marquesas. For two the man has been nearly years old disabled from active work. He now writes that he is out and about again "with the strength of other days." Last July he met with the Rev. Kauwealoha. "It was" he wites, "like the meeting of David and Jonathan. The old man is The Rev. J Kaalouahi, the pastor of alone now, and qnite lonely without his the Halawa church, Molokai, is in a wife, and yet day and night he seems to destitute condition. Indeed this has have divine companionship. Although been the case for moat of the five or six bit body is enfeebled with sickness and age, his spirit is in health. Ol him it may be said, behold an Israelite indeed in whom there is no guile.'' "I have met with the Hapuku family and I do not find evidence of any proper regret for that giving of a horse to an old sorceress for delivery from possession by the soul of one who had died. This is a scandal that has caused the Marquesans to sneer and the papists and the foreigners to laugh." "The services at my parish at Pumaua are continued as usual. The attendance ranges from 50 to 60. My daughter has a school of 13 boys and 6 girls. The teaching is in the French language. The parents pay no tuition other than the supplies of food which they bring. The authorities (French) are pleased to recognize her school for she speaks the French, language fluently. She was for five years a pupil of Mr. Vienot's school at Papeete, Tahiti, and took a diploma as a teacher." "The Girls' School at Atuona under Hapuku's care was discontinued because of his complicity in idolatrous practices. "At my meeting with Kauwealoha we talked long overthe situation the needs of the field. We are old and soon to die, who are to take our places ?" "Send on Timoteo of Waialua to take my place at Puamau and let me and my family return thither to the land of our birth. "Send Pali of Lahaina to Uapou to take Kauwealoha's place, and let the old man go back to the beloved land of his wife's people near Kaanapali. Undoubtedly you of the Hawaiian Board will take careful thought about these matters; even should you withdraw from the care of this field doubtless the Lord will not. "I was with Kauwealoha at Lahainaluna for six years. L. Andrews, Clark, Dibble, Emerson, Alexander and Hunt were our teachers. Dibble and Alex ander teaching us theology." "Finally your father got me a parish at Kahuku, Oahu, and then the Macedonian cry came in the person of Matunui for evangelists to go to the Marquesas; we went, Kauwealoha and I. I have known Kauwealoha, he is a wise man and a good man. He has not his superior on Hawaii." "Naomi is well and is engaged in the care of the household and of the people. She is a mother to us all. We have a singing school now. The teachers are Samuel Kekela's wife and his two sisters and they have other helpers. It is a pleasant feature of our church service that we have good music." "Give my love to the Waialua friends, to your brothers, to Alexander, the head of the Survey, to President Dole, to Minister Damon. Mother Parker is still living is she not ? To her I would be remembered and to Emma Dillingham, and the Chamberlains, and to the Hawaiian Board, and to all the brethren in the ministry. �96 Rev. Dr. McArthur on Hawaii.

There can be no lasting peace without Christ in the life. Don't be a praying machine, grinding out the same set phrases. One blind beggar saved, got up a praise meeting in Jericho. The need of repentance is as great in the church as out of it. Use all the brains, good sense and judgment you have for God. Give me the homes for Christ, and I will give you the world to God. Better go from a pauper's grave to heaven than mausoleum to Hell. You can't give a man the Gospel of Jesus Christ and keep him down. Get some niche in the work of the church and work there till you die. If you honestly want to get to God, I tell you, God wants to get to you. No use telling me a man prays, and then goes storming about the house. A well preserved body will get at the secrets ol God better than a sickly one. An idol is anything that takes the place of God in your heart and life. When God says "ask and receive that your joy may be full," he doesn't mean half-full. I want you to be a walking sermon. You can't live with Clod and for God without having fruit. Repentance means the giving up of all sin. You can't heal the wound until the splinter is pulled out. God cannot forgive you until you are willing to make right as far as possible, the wrongs you have committed. The way to redeem the masses is to redeem individuals. Some of Christ's greatest sermons were to individuals. Never read a book written by a bad man or woman; if you eat anything that lives on fish, will have a fishy flavor, and your thoughts will have the flavor of the books you read. Every thing that is good have, and have it to the full; God only asks you to give up that which is sinful and wicked, which if persevered in will sink your soul into the pit. You let it be known that Mr. Yatman is a theater-going, card-playing, dan cinq, wine-drinking christian, and how many invitations for christian work would he get. The tendency of such things is not heavenward. Telephone Circuit of Hawaii. On November 6th, Manager Aungst completed the telephone connections on the island of Hawaii, so.that it is now possible to carry on conversation from Kailua, Kona, via Kau and 'Hilo, to Kohala, a distance of 245 miles. Thus every settlement of importance on that island is now in telephonic connection with every other.

It opens brightly on us in Hawaii. Peace and health have taken the place of disorder and pestilence. More than ordinary business prosperity exists. Political animosities are softened. Our churches are having large accessions. All points to a year of wholesome and successful activity. While affairs are so bright in Hawaii, we cannot be oblivious to miseries in lands under the opposite meridian, where Armenia is being ravaged by the fanatical Moslem, and no deliverer comes to save. In contrast, what peace and well-being are secured by the presence of enlightened Christianity in Hawaii. May every earnest and upright soul among us begin this year with kindled purpose to be of all possible service to other souls and to the Kingdom of our Lord. May this year be one of faithful work, and of diligent exertion to multiply the gifts with which He has endowed us. When He comes to take account of His servants, may each of us be found to have made a worthy record in this year ot 1896. Number 1 1 HONOLULU. H. 1..

Hit, Dear Mr. Bishop; On my return to China a few weeks ago I found a copy of the 'Frii-nd' addressed to me, the first I have seen for a long time. If my mute back to China had not been through Europe and India, I should certainly have arranged to visit Honolulu on the way, to see for myself what is going on in your much debated little Republic but this could not be. In default of this I have followeh as well as I was able in my devious journeys, such articles of yours as have fallen under my eye, and have got additional light from many who have spent some time in the Islands. I have never had the least doubt that the Lord has some high purpose in the unique history of the Hawaiian Islands, and the early years of the twentieth century will partially make plain what that purpose is. In the meantime it is easy to be patient with the ignorance, misrepresentation and malice which has only evil to say of those wonderful men and women that laid the Cnristian foundations of the Islands sn broad and deep that they have not yet been overthrown, and by the blessing of God never shall be. I have come back to China in a very disturbed time, the close of the war has brought forward problems of which no one can predict the solution. Since the close of the war with Fn.nce and England in I HOD, there has never been a time when the government ofChina has been so unable to cope with its responsi bililies as to d y. Indeed it is a question of great interest just what constitutes the 'government' of the Chinese emjiire. The Emperor is a young man of very limited capacity, if reports are to be trusted, who, like most Emperors, is strangled by what we call his 'environ merit.' It would be a miracle if with such opportunities as he has enjoyed. he gained the smallest correct notion of the political affairs of the planet upon which he lives, antl there is no reason to suppost- thai any such miracle has been His principal tutor, an old wrought man named Wting T'ung Ho, has just been appointed a member of the 'Foreign Office' in Peking, a cumbrous machine through which nearly all the relations between China and other states are adjusted. Another old fossil who was tutor of the preceding Emperor, has also been grafted into the same unwieldly body, and these men are said by those who have to deal with them to be 're actionaries' of the worst type, so that the transaction of any business at all has been difficult. The British government appears to have been aroused to the point of giving a most vigorous 'ultimatum' in the matter of the Ssu Ch'uan riots, offering the Chinese but three days My. THE FRIEND to make up their minds whether to publish an cdii t in th Peking (ia/.ette, degrading the late viceroy of that province on the express ground of his complicity with the rioters. The alternative which was threatened is understood to have been the occupation of the valley uf the Yang-Tzu river by the British, an event which even the stolid Chinese could not contemplate with equanimity. As a re suit the required edict was published in the Gazette a few days ago, but in the most inconspicuous manner possible. As the Fukien massacres were much worse in every way than the riots in the Western province, it must be that when the investigation now in progress at Ku Ch'eng is ended, the British Government will insist upon the degradation of the Fukien Viceroy too. This is an affair of very much greater importance than the casual reader of the daily newspaper is likely to imagine. I do not re collect ever to have heard of any such extremity of punishment before, for in this case there are appended to the decree of removal the fatal words, 'never to be mentioned for employment again.' Ch'ung Hou, the Tartar Governor General of Chihli, at the time of the Tientsin massacre, was it is true removtd. But his punishment consisted in sending him as a special envoy to settle with the French Government the details of the reparation to be made for the murders wrought through his connivance. Alter a great deal of ttlegraphing back and forth, the U. S. Government has finally sent a commission of its own to Ssu Ch'uan to look into the riots there, the members consisting of the Consul at Tientsin—an active and intelligent man —an officer from a man-of-war, and the interpreter of the Legation in Peking. They left only a week ago, and are to travel overland, instead of up the YangTzu, which involves much fatigue for no obvious purpose. The firm stand of the British Government ought to make their task an easy one. Meantime the Chinese government has succeeded in getting into hot water with every one of the Great Powers simultaneously, the latest being Germany who is exasperated by attacks upon Missions near Swatow. It is a current aphorism that the hour produces the man, but the hour seems to have struck some time ago, and 'the man'has not appealed. The most natu ral explanation seems to be that he is either dead, or quite as probable not yet born. There are signs that prominent Chinese officials recognizing the gravity of the situation, are ready to listen to advice from any quarter, if there is a reasonable hope that some plan will be brought forward by which China can get out of her troubles. At the present moment there are in Peking two members of the missionary body, Rev. Timothy Richard, and Rev. Gilbert Reid, each of whom is well qualified to make valuable suggestions to those in high places, and each of whom has recently been sent [January, 189G for by officers in responsible positions, in the hope that something may be suggested by means of which China may escape from her sea of perplexities. China is poor in money, weak in armaments and distracted by hopeless difference* of an internal nature. The Tartar Dynasty would have fallen long ago, but for the fact that there is nothing wherewith to replace it except blank anarchy. I.i Hung Chang is shelved in Peking charged with having made an 'unpatriotic' treaty with Japan, the only thing that could be done, and at the same time charged with the making of another treaty with the same power as a definite adjustment of the results of the war. He is said to be regarding with much amusenu-nt the helj'less struggles of his opponents to manage the aflairs ol state, to which they are quite unequal but even if he should get back to power again, he is too old to retain his position long, and there is not a single official available for the succession. The needs of China are many, but her greatest and most fatal lack is men. There is no doubt that the introduction of railways in the central provinces is in the immediate future, indeed we hear even now that the Imperial assent has been given to a line from Tientsin to SoochoWj but we recollect that the saint; assent was actually given in 1884, and nothing came of it. It cannot however prove so now, for the reason that if China does not build railroads herself, Japan will force her to let Japan do it, which China Hence will do anything to prevent. compulsory 'reform. But those who know China and the Oriental, are well aware of the fact that there is in magic in a railway. It still remains true that 'the soul of improvement is the improvement of the soul.' It is for this that the missionaries are working, and sooner or later their work will be felt. I remain very sincerely yours. Ariiur IL Smith. An Old Letter from a still surviving Missionary. To Mr. ('...rh.iin 11. (lilman, care of Ladil and Co, Honolulu, Palm. Kohala, March 25, '42. My dear friend and Brother Gorham, I received your very kind letter yesterday— quite a speedy conveyance from Honolulu —only 15 days? We usually think we are highly favored if we get letters in a month or six weeks from there. We feel much obliged to you for the intelligence you give us ol news and letters from Home, and we shall wait with no little anxiety for our letters. We have been highly favored so far, though we have met with a sad disappointment in the loss of the package of home letters by the California, —a loss I need not say, we severely felt and one �which cannot easily be repaired. We feel desirous to send home by the Delaware, but have only to regret the utter impossibility of preparing leiters in season to send now, as this must go in the morning, anil opportunities to send hence to Honolulu are very rarely known to us, we live so far from the beach. We are exceedingly pressed with busi nessjust now, and dutits seem daily to increase upon us, as our acquaintance with the language becomes better. A pastor's labors at home are very small indeed, compared with the wear and teai of a pastor's body and mind in these is lands, and then here there is no en lightened sympathy with the "minister," as there at wayI is at home. We have therefore a double weight here to sustain: but we do it in the strength of an AI mighty supporter, and in Him we feel courage to prosecute the Work he has given us to do. I am now upon my third general tour through my field, examining the state of the schools and the church. Both are low at present, though we have some hope from morning prayer-meetings which I established a week or two since in all our lands. (Perhaps you may not be aware that every district is subdivided into many small lands of from 5U to 500 inhabitants. Of these we have SO or CO in this district.) Our Sabbath school also I have just organized, and hope for some good from that. My teacher s school numbers about 511, and is very full of interest, as is also Mrs. B's school of girls. We find our acquaintance with the people becoming more perfect every day, and every da)- we see more of their desperately degraded condition. Many years must elapse ere they can be brought in their civil and social relations anywhere within the utmost verge of civilization. Slow indeed is the progress of degraded human nature upward; but the power of Gods' truth can raise it. This is our stay continually. I find very pleasant preaching to the people. On the A. m. of the Sabbath I preach them a set sermon, and the P. M. have them recite the verses of the "Ai-o-ka la," i.e. "Daily Food," and then expound to them. They give apparent attention to the truth, but like sinners everywhere, their hearts offer no congenial soil for its growth. The Lord alone can sanctify it. The native character is vastly worse than I supposed it was. Nothing is too bad for the people, nothing too vile. I am whelmed in astonishment, when I think that such hearts can be changed by the grace of God, and made meet for Heaven. I am very glad to hear you say that God is your strength. Yes, my brother, God is indeed our strength—our All. May you feel this truth continually warming and cheering your inmost soul. Never before have I felt so deep a sense of this very thing as I do now. I am THE FRIEND. driven absolutely to Him to seek aid daily. Soul and body would die without Him in this trying service.

Bond. 5:1 letter of years ago, The foregoing from Father Ellis Bond, who still lingers in great feebleness at his old Kohala home, seems worthy of publishing, on account of its many notices of the conditions of the past in these Islands, such as the isolation of the out districts, the difficulty of communication, nd ihe deep Il degradation of the native people. also breathes in a noble strain the ardent faith and devotion which filled the hearts of the missionary fathers, and made their work so fruitful.

R. J. Sellers, Premier of New Zealand, to provide in a new Licensing Bill, that the selling and supplying of liquor to Maoris shall be prohibited everywhere in the Colony, as it is by law at present in the three native districts of Taupo, Waioku, and Moawhango; and that no license shall be granted within one mile of any native owned land." Until about twenty years ago, to sell or give intoxicants to native Hawaiians was prohibited. This prohibition was removed through the special influence of King Kalakaua, on the ground that it was treating the natives as inferior to the whites. The result has been destructive to the native race of the Islands. The prohibition was originally made by the desire of the natives them- [January, 1896 Arrival of the R. W. Logan.

If the water and lands of Ewa and Waialuacan thus be united, it means an addition of fifty or sixty thousand tons of sugar to the annual product of this island, and a trebling of its population. It is to be hoped and with some good reason, that a large part of this sugar would be cultivated on shares, so as to promote the settlement of the country by American and European farmers. The large population created by the sugar plantations would also make a home market for vegetable, truit, and dairy farms on portions of the land not irrigated, but enjoying forty or fiftyinches of rain per annum. In view of these conditions, it seems quite possible that twenty years hence may see twenty thousand people finding a residence and comfortable subsistence on the now uninhabited region between Ewa and Waialua.. [Decmbr, 1895. THE FRIEND situation of these devoted workers is in every way comfortable and delightful, with the one terrible exception of their constant and somewhat dangerous intercourse with lepers, many of them horribly disfigured. There is also a great tendency to overwork. Senator Waterhouse, Prof. Richards, Rev. Waiamau and others held a most interesting meeting with the Y. M. C. A. in their new hall. A son of Mr. Waiamau is the leading spirit. His career of high promise was arrested by leprosy; but he is full of Christian zeal in his new home. A heavy northerly swell forbade the party to re embark that night or the next morning. They crossed the island 12 miles to Kaunakakai, first climbing on foot a precipice of 1800 feet altitude. The Keatthou steamtd around 4.ri miles and took them off. Miss Kate Field, of the party, counted the lofty climb and scenery not the least of her impressive Native Disregard of Sanitary Precautions. An object lesson in the above is given a statement made by a highly reliable Hawaiian gentleman who was one of the late visting party at Kalaupapa. He witnessed the landing of a man and his wife in whose case a special exception had been made by the Board of Health, in permitting them to visit the woman's father, who is a leper at the .■settlement. This leper is one of the most prominent and influential men there. When bis daughter and son-inlaw landed, this leper kissed them both profusely on their mouths, which is one of the most likely ways of communicating the disease. No official was present toprevent this dangerous proceeding. This illustrates the difficulty experienced by the authorities in hindering the spread of this loathsome malady, and experiences. why it is confined chiefly to the natives —also why government by natives inThe Visit to New Zealand.

The morning paper is delivering an active assault upon a somewhat recent outgrowth of vile living in that part of the city slums which borders on the Nuuanu thoroughfare It is charged that the scum of the Japanese plantation laborers has drifted thither, forming a settlement of gamblers and hoodlums, associated with the vilest traffic of the other sex. The paper rightly calls for at least the repression and timiring of these indecencies, and for the deportation of the criminal element of that nationality. This is not an attack upon the Japanese, who are a most interesting and valuable element of our population. It is aimed even more at the protection of the Japanese themselves, than at that of the rest of the community. It is supremely for the interest of their laboring class, as well as for that of their entire population, that they should be rid of the poisonous influence of their vile and criminal classes, who if not repressed, terrorize and overpower the better class.

It cannot be doubted that efforts in that direction by the authorities and citizens must meet the hearty approval and cooperation of Japanese ollicials as well as of their men of influence. Some rejoicing has been that this New year is one of peace to Hawaii, while abroad are so many impending clouds of war, as well as actual conflicts. But always with us is this War for Purity, Temperance, and Righteousness, against the works of the Devil. Ever do the powers of Darkness expressed which will inevitably ensue among native Hawaiiansm spite of any possible provisions for limiting its consumption to the Chinese. No such provisions can be rendered efficient Under the present law, the mere possession ol opium is punishable. This practically prevents the übiquitous Chinese peddler from carrying it to the natives. License it, and the peddler found with the drug upon his person has merely to assert that he has it lawfully for his own use. �THE FRIEND 10 It will be obviously for the interest ol the licensed dealer to encourage as wide a dissemination as possible of the drug, in order to cultivate appetites in as many new customers as possible. Not only are the Hawaiians without temperance and sell control in the use of a tempting naicotic. The Japanese also are more liable than the more steady Chinese to yield to impulse. Among the Chinese themselves there will also inevitably be a great increase of con sumption. We look to the Christian principle in our community to resist this pernicious proposition. We look to the morality and benevolence of our people to army them against it. We look also to the planters to oppose what mu-t greatly demoralize and disable their laborers. So evil and disreputable a measure can not be expected to be carried in an enlightened Legislature. Christianity and the Evolution of Rational Life A STATEMENT MADE on SOLICITATION OF THI. I All. GEORGE H. ROMANES. By the Rev. John T. (iulick, Ph. f-'riilll the llilili.illi,-, ' .1 I). SaCrS, lanu.uy, iHSS, The author says ol the following article, that it "was not written wilh any thought of public a tion, but simply as a reply by letter to a corre spondem who asked'On what lines oil hriatian evidence do you mainly rely ?' and saying that his own belief had been shattered by what seemed to him overpowering assaults lion, the sidt- ol rationality." He is willing, however, to have It published in the Bibliotkeea Sot ra. The interest and value of it is gtealls enhanced when it is known that the person who solicited the statement was the distinguished < ieoigr 11. Kotnanes, late editor of Natun (the principal scientific periodical ol England,) and that this reply, with the distinguished savant's peisonal acquaintance with Mr. Ciulick, was among the prominent influences which led t j Mr. Romanes'return to the Christian faith. (iulick was born of missionary parents in the wich Islands, and was later assigned g field n. While in the Sandwich Islands heeccahis spare time in making an exhaust ivc study of the land tnollusks of the archipelago As the immediate result of this work, carried on for many years, numerous articles were published by Mr. (iulick in the scientific journals, beginning with one entitled "The Variation of Species ss related to their Oaographical Distribution, rated by the .chaiinellinae," published •ilnre, July 18. LS7'.'. Without mentioning others which intervened, we notice finally two, tilling one hundred and fifty closely printed pages of the I.inn,u on Journal, published in London in ISB7 and 18811 The first of these is entitled "Divergent Involution through Cumulative Segregation.'' and was presented to the society by Allied W. Wallace, Y. L. S. The second is entitled "Intensive Se- . RI. B ,„ gregation, or Divergence through Independent Transformation," and was presented by \V. Percy Sladen, F. 1.. S. The main conclusions established by these investigations are embodied in the two following propositions: ist. "Divergent Evolution does md neertmrih depend an either change in or chmugt of the environment." ,«. "The -'"'- ~/ the lieeiti averagi rmlius fFebruiry, of distributionfar tarn* ruin, in mijkfmat groups of closely allied species varus in the different groups directly m the power and opportunity for migrating, mill inversely ns the plasticity ami variability of tin several grorps." Those lamiliar with recent Darwinian literature will readily see in these proposition!

In publishing an article of Mr. (iulick's which appeared in Natun in the issue lor April It). IS!!!), Mi Kotnanes writes as follows: "I cannot allow the present coninuinii a tion to appear in these columns without again recording my conviction that the write! is the most piolou.id of living thinkius upon l.aivvinian topics, and that the generalizations which have been reached by his twenty veais of thought are of more importance- to the thcoiv ol evolution than any thai have i.c-en published during the post-Darwinian period." /■.'./. ISibl. So,. (iulick Man is rational and be finds himself universe th.tt is capable of being interpreted and used by reason. The arts and sciences, through which his power is constantly advancing, are proofs that he isjustified in the assumption that every part of the universe is constructed on principles that will yield an ever expanding meaning to his search for unity, law, and order, 'The progress of science tests on man's faith that he cannot be wrong in applying this assumption to new realms; and the ratio nality of the assumption is justified by the result. But rationality includes not only the adjusting of" means, but tiie weighing and choosing of ends; not only intelligence, but morality ; not onlj knowledge, but love guiding in the use of knowledge. Man liiuls himself part of a social system in which regard for the good of all is the guiding principle that brings order out of confusion 'The history of social evolution shows that, in proportion as man gains faith in this principle, and applies it intelligently to wider groups of society and to each and all of the relations of social organisation, in that proportion has he advanced in happiness and dignity. We also find that a very large share of this advancement hi s been due to Christianity. Though other systems ni teaching have dimly apprehended the ideal, they have none of them been able to inspire men with new motives that are able to hold the brutal tendencies of the race strongly in check. In populous regi ons there seems to have been a slow biological evolution through which altruistic instincts have gained increas ing force; but no power outside of Christianity seems able to take man as he is, in any and every land, and set him on a new course. The cause of this wonderful power in Christianity seems to lie in its ability to assure men of the fatherhood of God as well as of the brotherhood of man. Indeed, judging part of a 1896 from my own experience and from what I have observed in China and Japan, it seems as if a strong hold on the latter idea, such as will awaken the enthusiasm of humanity, is attained only by those who are filled with the former idea. It should also be said that a stiong sense of God's love does not remain with the man who refuses to love his neighbor. Science rests on the assumption that unity, order, and law pervade the universe. Morality rests on the assumption that the obligations of benevolence are a reality, extending to the uttermost bounds of our influence. Religion rests on the assumption that power, wisdom, and love underlie the foundations of the universe The first is the condition for any rational use of means, methods, and opportunities; the second is the condition for wisdom in the choice of ends and in the regulating of our lives; the third is the necessary condition for courage, confidence, and joy in realizing the two previous conditions. There is also an interdependence between the lii st and second conditions which seems to make it necessary that they should advance together. An individual may indeed be skillful in the the use of means without listening to the dictates of morality, but a community without morality will relapse into barbarism, losing the sciences and aits they once possessed. Hut is it wise, is it rational, to act on these assumptions before we prove that they are in accordance with fact? I believe it is. 'This is, it seems to me, just what rational man has always done, in some degree; and I believe he will always have to, unless he abandons rational life. Does not the very essence ol rational life lie in conscious or unconscious acceptance of these higher postulates? Irrational creatures, as well as man, put faith in the reality of the objects revealed by their senses, though the only proof that the assumption is not a delusion is that it woiks well in serving the purposes of life, and that the knowledge derived from different senses is harmonious. Now, it seems to me that confidence in the postulates of our reason is justified in the same way. They are necessary to the continuance of rational life They give vigor, enthusiasm, and joy to life; and they bring all parts of our knowledge into a harmonious whole. Again it may be asked, Are not the first two of these postulates sufficient without the last? And does the last stand on as sure a basis as the other two? Ii seems to me that the three are inseparably connected. 'The last is an implicit assumption underlying the two previous assumptions. Rational man is the fruit of nature, and the nature that bore him everywhere responds to his reason. When reason is the interpreter of such a universe, will it not find reason as the interpretation? What can be more rational than to believe that the �Vol. 54, No. I.] nature of the universe is rooted in reason? But a full answer to these two questions can be reached only by careful study of the cvi lution of rational life, a subject which may be pursued in a thousand different ways, and concerning which I can make only a few suggestions. To give definiteness to our in vestigations we need to take actual cases. We need to observe the influence of systems of thought that have shaped the lives of individuals or nations. What systems have done the most to invigorate rational life? Which ones have shown the most power in restoring to rationality those who were wasting their own energies, a:ul bringing ruin to others? I am sure Christianity could not retain its hold on the modotn world. any more than Buddhism, if it did not show superior power in elevating the lives of men. Hut the great power of Christianity lies in the direct effects of the character of Christ. His influence on the world is due not only to his elevated conception of the fatherhood of God, but to the new aspirations awakened by his realiza tion of the most exalted life and his promises to lead others to the attain ment of a similar life, in their devotion to him and to the kingdom of God which he establishes on earth. 'This kingdom of God is a kingdom of love, which he assures us is to spread its influence into all lands; "for the meek shall inherit the earth." Not only has Christ become a leading factorin the evolution of society, but, in the survival of the meek and the righteous he has opened to. us the philosophy of this higher evolution and the truth of the philosophy is sustained by the gradual fulfillment of the predic tinns based on the philosophy. Concerning the nature of Christ's authority, and the ground on which he makes such great promises, and assumes such absolute leadership, I try simply to understand what he claims for himself. Though the most humble of men, he assumes greater authority than any other teacher ever thought of assuming. His life and its influence on the world seem to me as unique as his death and resurrection. Each sustains the other, and the harmony and consistency of the whole seem to me unlike the fabrications of the myth-making faculty or the productions of idealzing art. An extraordinary life may he the occasion for myths attempting to explain that life; but it is entirely incredible that myths and sub jective delusions should originate a character on a wholly new range of thought, and then give it power to trans form, first the original subjects of the delusion, making them consistent and pertinent witnesses and martyrs, and then through them the whole structure of society. But, although the lives of his disciples show that the) were moved by the deepest conviction of the reality of what they have told us about him, we must remember that their method of dc- THE FRIEND scribing events is necessarily shaped in many respects by the ideas of the time; when, for example, we read that the waters of a pool with curative powers were at intervals moved by an angel, I have no difficult}- in supposing that it was an intermittent spring. Making allowance, however, for the fact that the very names of things sometimes express the vatises to which popular belief at tributes them, we find that the records of Christ's life are chiefly the simplest poss ble recitals of what he did and said, with only '.he briefest references to the explanation ol the facts. And of the facts recorded, nearly all relate t the last three years of his life. Passing by ill explanations if the nature of his life, and giving attention simply to the main facts of these three years and to their in lluence on those who were with Him, and through them, on the world, we are brought to the irresistible conclusion that he was a new type of man, possessed of a character of complete devotion to the good of others, and of unparalleled power in transforming and elevating the lives of others. In biological evolution a new type has influence only as its offspring multiply to the exclusion of other types; but, in rational evolution, a new character may propagate itself by transforming other types into more or less conformity to its own standards without any infusion of new blood. 'This is the method ol Christ's influence on the world. In the language of the New Testament it is called, giving power to become the sons of (iod. In closing, I may say, that our philosophical explanations undergo transform ation, but the great factsof Christianity seem to me to remain untouched. . What shall we Preach. 11 and magistrates shall bend beneath His power. Preach Him till the weary and the heavy-laden come to Him for rest; preach Him until His judgment throne stands out distinct and awful with saints and sinners trembling on either hand. Preach Him as Peter preached Him in the glory of his aged recollections. Preach Him as Paul preached Him to Jew and Greek, barbarian and Roman; not with enticing speculations, but in the demonstration and the power of the Holy Ghost; out of the depths of an experience growing richer and a knowledge growing clearer and larger; out of the peace of God which passeth understanding and the love of God which passeth knowledge; by gentle, lucid and courageous speech; by judicious and heroic silence; by patience and fortitude and faith; by forbearance and by deed; preach Him the life and light of men. Do not surround Him with artificial splendors, thinking to make Him more attractive; do not degrade Him to a puzzle and a problem, but preach Him as He preached Himself, the Shepherd of lost sheep, the likeness of the Esther, the Friend of sinners, the Redeemer of mankind. Pacific Counsels. It is satisfactory to find, as might be expected, that Christian ministers on both sides of the Atlantic almost invariably counsel calmness and moderation in dealing with the controversy which has arisen between England and the United States respecting the boundary between A British Guiana and Venezuela. notable exception appears to this pacific spirit, as follows The Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, in the course of his sermon at St. James' Hall, said that the two most distressing spectacles for any lover of peace were the Sultan of Turkey and Mr. Cleveland. The latter bullied Great Britain and rudely threatened her with war; but awful as a conflict was to contemplate, he hoped that those answerable for the conduct of the nation's affairs would not allow him to dictate where the frontiers of the British Empire ended and began. Price Hughes is still a young man, but has earned too much influence and leadership to make it seemly for him to employ so intemperate a comparison as that of Mr. Cleveland to the Sultan of Turkey. The controversy is one of a class quite sure to be settled by negotiation. Salisbury had been rather peremptory in refusing to discuss the : 'The question vexes many a clerical mind. Prof. C. J. Little, in a baccalaureate sermon at Garret Biblical Institute! gives his answer ; Clear your minds of cant, of eccenticity, of fictions and phantasms and vain imagination, and preach Jesus Christ.

The destruction of the Cuban sugar crop by the insurrection, is driving up the price of sugar in the United States. This means high prices for the unprecedently large crop in these Islands. An impetus will naturally begin to all business here. President Dole in Kona and Hilo. In his tour through the above districts, Mr. Dole has had a most favorable reception from the people, especially the natives. He expresses himself as greatly impressed with the urgent need of roads lor the development of the argicultural lands. In those rich but most rocky districts, only roads built with great cost and labor can make the farms accessible to wheeled vehicles. The Hilo Tribune says that the Volcano road costing $120,000 at once caused the occupation of Crown Lands which yield over $20,000 annual rent to the Government. Kilauea again Active. After thirteen months of entire quiescence, the volcano of Kilauea has resumed in the fullest degree its custo- mary activity. The fires had subsided and disappeared in the deep abyss of Haleamaumau crater early in October 1894, after forty-three months of magnificent activity. After long waiting, the patience of Manager Lee of the Volcano House was rewarded at 11 p. m. of January 3rd. by seeing a faint light on clouds above the crater. The lava was again rising in the shaft below the pit. By afternoon of the 4th it had risen so as to form a lake in the bottom of the pit, having an area of over an acre of surging fire. This has rapidly risen many feet each day, and at last reports was within 400 feet of the upper rim of the pit. Crowd of island visitors with foreign tourists are thronging to see the great and terrible spectacle. You descend 600 feet into the great caldera of Kilauea, then traverse two miles of hideous black lava, gradually ascending 400 feet, when you suddenly face a horrible abyss, in which many hundred feet below is a sea often acres of terrific surging fire in fierce ebullition. There is no spectacle on earth of such appalling horror and grandeur. It is a revelation from the nether abysses. Judging from previous activities in Kilauea, the lava will be many months in rising sufficiently to overflow the upper rim of the pit, whence it will flood many hundreds of acres ol Kilauea floor fathoms deep with fresh lava. Its aspect while rising in the pit is perhaps the most interesting. �Vol. 54, No. 2.] THE FRIEND Our old friend the U. S. S. Boston anchored here at noon of the 30th and saluted.

The H. A. Athletic Club is a useful organization, which has been somewhat connected witn the Y. M. C A. Gymnasium. It is matter of regret and shame that on the 25th, in their exhibition of sports at Kapiolani Park, three of the common disgraceful horse races were To show permitted to take place. that our characterization is not too strong, we quote from the P. C. Advertiser as follows: "A great many of those who rode or drove to the park on Saturday, went out to see the boys and young men in the real athletic sports, but there was a goodly sprinkling of older heads whose interest was centered on the horse race between Billy C. and Confederate, and a considerable amount of Confederate money dropped with a doleful thud into the pockets of the friends of Billy C. But the horses were well matched and the men who backed their opinion of C. did so mainly on account of his record. Their judgment still holds good." Also from the Independent : "The howl this morning is caused by the defeat of Confederate on Saturday by Bill)- C. The backers of Confederate claim that their jockey acted 'kolohe,' and was bribed by the Billy C. crowd." This is dirty work, and we are sorry to know of the sons of Christian people being mixed up in it. They got into foul company. A Vaporing Filibuster. From his remote retreat in Montana, Markoe, the confederate of Morrow and Underwood writes to the S F.

His bark is vociferous. Cemmon Swindlers. 'The alleged filibusters Underwood and Sheridan, alias Morrow, now in jail here awaiting trial for conspiracy, are charged in San Francisco with raising the funds to get here by securing four typewriters, which they pawned for $59.

The Suppressed Hawaiian. 13 Did the Belgic bring the Cholera? The late surgeon of the Belgic, Dr. Howie, passed through Honolulu per Coptic, on the 15th, and emphatically repeated his former assertions that the deaths on the attended by no symptons of cholera. On the other hand the President of the Board of Health declares that they had affidavits from very reliable old Chinese residents who were passengers that two of those deaths were attended by vomiting, purging and cramps; also that one of the passengers exhibited similar symptoms on his way per scow to the qu rantine station, dying the next day. They have no question as the fact that the Belgic brought the pestilence to Honolulu. Cold Storage and Ice Establishment. 'The Electric Works opposite the new market, have more thtn doubled their buildings, hy adding Refrigeratingworks consisting of a large Ice plant, and Cold Storage rooms, fifteen in number. In the latter the mercury ranges from freezing point to zero. This will facilitate the preservation of meats in this warm climate, and will favor the importation of foreign mutton from New Zealand. By enabling carcasses to be stored indefinitely after reaching town, it will enable beeves to be slaughtered at distant points, and brought in by rail, thus securing meat in better condition than when slaughtered after being penned up in town. It is interesting to enter the cold apartments, and once more to experience a keen winter temperature, unknown here except on some almost inaccessible mountain summit.

I Tbii page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Mlsaionis and the Editor, appointed by the Board, is responsible for contents. Rev. O. H. Guluk, - Editor. From Japan. From a letter of a missionary in Japan his associates dated Dec. 25th, we make a brief extract. The visit of the deputation (Rev. DrsBarton, Bradford, Johnson and Mr. Ellison) lingers in our memory like a delightful dream lam convinced that the more those brethren saw of us the better they liked us, and the longer they studied the situation, the more keenly and sympathetically they appreciated They the difficulties of our position. seemed well pleased with the Mission as a whole, its intellectual vigor, breadth of vision, variety of talent, loyalty of spirit and earnestness of devotion. This should afford every one of us great joy and encouragement. to The times demand strong leadership and a sacrificial spirit of service. The visiting brethren seemed to realize this to the full, and they keyed us up to a high pitch of faith and life. From first to last their words were strong and inspiring, and when on that final Sabbath in Kyoto, Dr. Bradford marked out so plainly before those of us who heard his sermon, the way of the cross as the way of love and happiness and suffering and victory, it seemed as though all had been done in loving faithfulness that words could do to stir us up to the true nobility of daily Christian service. Not self denial but self sacrifice, not rash and wasteful murder of self but level beaded, warm hearted devotion of all one is and has to the work, not loving America less but Japan more and Christ This I consider to be most of all. the weighty message and gifted appeal left for our Christmas stockings as those beloved brethren sailed away from these Eastern shores. It is ours to heed and to act. We may deem it the harder part, but we are set for that picket service, nay more, we are volunteers for it whatever the dangers and whatever the difficulties. The Christ child of this gladsome season with the shadow of the cross falling athwart his manger couch beckons us along this path of personal siciificial service. 15 cite the .fourth Commandment, they hear the crack of the rifle or the frequent report of guns, as some company of our nation's defenders are preparing for war, or striving to attain perfection in hitting the bull's-eye. Is Sabbath target shooting a work of necessity or mercy? Is the value of the property holders in the vicinity of the butts advanced or depreciated in value by this practice' Are the security and peace of the homes of those families where loving parents are seeking to raise their children to be god-fearing neighbor loving citizens, enhanced by this new departure of our military arm. Do these representatives of the new order think that they are lending strength to the government, promoting the good order of society or helping to build np an enlightened Christian state by this manner of spendingthe day set apart by Cod and man for higher purposes? It is said that some years since some persons oblivious to the value of the Sabbath, began target practice on the Lord's day in the vicinity of Judge McCully's residence, to the great annoyance of the good citizen. Judge McCully communicated the fact to Judge Judd, the latter notified the Marshal; Mr Parke promptly appeared on the scene and the shooting ended. At a meeting of a company of the citizen's guard held a few days ago, the proposition for Sabbath target practice after a short discussion was decided in the negative by a vote of perhaps thirty to one. Are the Sabbath target shooters setting at defiance the laws of God, the interests of the government and the wishes of the majority of our citizens? Is the Sabbath worth having or worth keeping? Is it not time that this community should seriously considerthesequestions? and were with several of their children baptized, by Rev. Dr. Faber, the eminent missionary and scholar, who exerted a most beneficial influeuce over the whole family for a number of years. Our young friend received the baptismal name of "Shan Van'" "One who has received Mercy.'' Most beautifully and worthily did he bear this name through all the succeeding years of his life, as one in whom the mercy and grace ol God was revealed in a conspicuous manner. When quite a lad he came to our Islands with his parents and with the exception of one visit to China he has made his home here ever since. He was an earnest student in the Mission School of the Berlin Mission in Canton belore coming here and later he studied here in Honolulu in different schools. Some five years ago he was employed by the Hawaiian Board as assistant to the Superintendent of the Chinese Mission, and remained in that position until failing health obliged him to resign. As one intimately associated with him for years the writer of these lines would bear loving testimony to the rare beauty and symmetry of his Christian life and to the zeal and ability which he manifested in the discharge of his many and varied duties. In his death the Hawaiian Board and the Chinese Mission have lost a most efficient and valuable helper, and we who knew and loved him, a noble companion and fellow laborer. His faithful mother, brothers and sister still remain with us and to them we would extend our heartiest sympathy. A life such as this, is the most eloquent testimony to the value of Missionary work. God grant that firom the youth of China, many more such jewels may be gathered to shine through all eternity, in the Redeemer's Crown ! F. W. D In Memoriam! Rev. T. W. Houston of Nanking has published a remarkable proclamation, of which he remarks that it is "nothing less than the most conclusive reply thus far made to much that passes for wellgrounded judgment as to missionary work and influence." Translated, it is as follows : "Given by Li, by the grace of the Emperor, Commissioner of Salt Revenue, Expectant lntendant of Circuit and Prefect of the J iengning (Nanking) Circuit, being advanced three steps in office and having one brevet rank, having thirteen times received honorable mention in official records: "For the purpose of publicly and strictly charging the people concerning foreigners, who have in whatever points of the interior established chapels, schools or like places. For a long time TO SHAN VAN. The recent death of this earnest and talented young Chinese Christian has brought sorrow to not a few hearts. As he was for a number of years a faithful and devoted worker under the Hawaiian Board, it has been thought fitting to make here a brief mention of his life and services. To many both in Honolulu and in other parts of the group he has been well known and by them he will long be missed. He was born in China Sabbath Target Shooting. some twenty-eight years ago, of good children in respectable family, his parents however, As the Sabbath-school of are study- at the time ol his birth being still unsome parts our peaceful city lessons on Sabbath ing their morning or acquainted with Christianity.

Now, having ex 'They manufacture their own sulphuric There are 20,000,000 sheep and 7,000,000 amined the doctrine halls in every place pertaining to the prefecture, we find that there have been established free schools where the poor children of China may receive instruction; hospitals where Chinamen may freely receive healing; that the missionaries all are really good; not only do they not take the people's possessions, but they do not seem to desire man's praise. "Already the Prefect, with the magistrate of the provincial capital, has personally visited each hall and has commanded the magistrates of outside districts to personally visit each station of the Churches and talk with the missionaries. They have personally observed the hospitals, school-houses, etc. They are for good, established with the sincere desire to save men. Although Chinamen are pleased to do good, there are none who excel these (missionaries). "We think it right, thetefore, to put forth this proclamaiion, plainly charging soldiers and all people. Be it known that foreigners here renting, or otherwise setting up halls, do so to save and to help the poor, and that there is not the least under-handedness. "Let it not be that you, on the contrary, wrongly invent false reports, and even commit crimes and misdemeanors. If there should be shameless villains who, thinking to "fish for wealth" (/. c., take by violence), invent reports and create disturbances, falsely accusing the missionaries of offences, they will first be thoroughly examined, then strictly dealt with. They will be punished to the fullest measure, certainly not leniently. You have been informed and warned. Do not disregard this proclamation. "Given on the 12th of the Intercalary sth month, twenty first year of Kuang Hsu. (July 4, 1895.)" Trans-Pacific Competition. A strong competitor for the transpacific trade is reported as likely to enter the field. It is the Nippon-Yusen Kaisha, or Japan Mail Steamship Company, which owns "over seventy passenger steamships, leasing as many more." This company is reported to contemplate opening a line from Japan to San Francisco or Portland, calling at Honolulu. Thus the commerce of the Pacific increases, and the shadow of Japan grows larger over Hawaii. } A Valuable Industry. The Pacific Fertilizer Co. whose extensive works are at Kalihi two miles west on the railway, had an output last year of 7000 tons of fertilizers which were sold at an average price of $35 a ton, or a total of $245,000. They are now enlarging their works and expect acid from imported sulphur. The phosphates come from Laysan Island a few hundred miles west of us. All this constitutes a most important addition to the productive industries of this country. It is to be hoped that we shall soon cease to import many other articles which can as well be produced hereespecially those of the farm, such as hay, poultry, pork, dairy products. We need skilled farmers, who have learned meth ods required by this climate. cattle. Refrigerating works freeze onehalf million beeves a year for exportation. There is abundance of coal.

'There seems to be a strong prospect that the undertaking will soon be put into working order under the control of the U. S, Government. A correspondent of the Honolulu Independent reports from the J'apaii Weekly Mailoi the 4th of January, an interview with the eminent bacteriologist, Dr. Kitasoto, to whom is attributed the statement. "You may make the announcement that I have at last succeeded in obtaininga serum that will cure leprosy. I have tried it with positive and entire success." The established character and ability of Dr. Kitasoto are calculated to inspire some confidence in the genuineness of his alleged discovery. The cure of Leprosy is certainly to be sought in the direction of an immunized serum, since the bacillus We of Leprosy is well known. await farther intelligence with deepest interest, All other alleged remedies we have always felt to be illusive. December Rainfall. The rainfall in the lower parts of Honolulu during December averaged 12 inches. This is ahead of any other district in the islands, a very rare occurrence. On the shore at Waimanalo 1fi.33 By our own inches were recorded. guage the rainfall for 1*95 has been 11,6'J inches, which is a little below that of the two years preceding. Nearly all of our December rain came from South and west. Hawaiian Band in Distress. The Hawaiian "National" Band was recently heard from as being destitute and starving in Massilon, Ohio. Consul Wilder of San Francisco has been directed to furnish them with subsistence and transportation home to Honolulu. The party is composed of members of the former Royal band, who refused to serve the Provisional Government, remaining loyal to their former queen. They were induced to travel in the States in hope of winning money and honor. They charge their leaders with defrauding them. Later accounts report the band to have found all needed help in the States. Heaven. Heaven is the place where the bloodwashed are—the Christiana home in the Father's house. As birds by instinct go on approach of winter to the South, so in the great human heart has God implanted an instinct for a better land. The sweetness of home, the laughter of children, the loveliness ol flowers, the glory ol sunshine: all these are echoes of heaven. Heaven has all the music; they never sin<r or play in hell. Heaven for me is where mother and loved ones are with Christ my Savior. Queensland Magnates visit Hawaii. Hell. Per Mariposa January 9, arrived Hon. H.M.Nelson, Premier of Queensland, Hon. J. J.

The details of the massacres and plundering of Armenian Christians, even in the more mitigated tonus personally witnessed by the American missionaries, shew that the Turkish authorities have systematically incited mobs of fanatical Moslems, to rob, slaughter and destroy their Christian neighbors, both men and women, with the accompaniment of unspeakable outrages. Ollicial reports from commissions sent to learn the facts, prove a 5,000 deaths, and as many more are believed to have been slaughtered in various parts of Armenia, all by the instigation of Turkish officials. Many times that number are robbed of all their possessions, their houses burned, themselves homeless, in rags and starving in the dead of winter. The majority of the sufferers are the less enlightened Christians of the old Gregorian Catholic church. But many thousands of them are earnest and intelligent Bible Christians, who have learned and embraced the truth from the numerous missionaries of the American Hoard. Among them are hundreds of able and devoted Armenian preachers and teachers educated in the various mission colleges and seminaries. Their Hible enlightenment has spread among the Gregorian Christians, and has greatly elevated their religious condition, so that among their priests and people are also considerable numbers of earnest and devout Christians. It is upon such a people that those horrors of Moslem persecution are visited. What a vivid realization these present excesses of murder and cruelty convey of whatPaul described in the Bth of Romans: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or peisecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword? Even as it is written 'For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheepfor the slaughter.' May the blessed assurance that follows also be fulfilled in the souls of those suffering Armenian believers: "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." It seems not unreasonable to hope that all those sufferings of Armenian Christians will not be in vain; but that a better day for the Moslem ridden population of Asia Minor is soon to dawn, as the fruit of those tribulations.. Liquor License Reform. While exceedingly anxious that the present Legislature should go forward to effective action for the diminution ot the present immense drunkenness, especially among the- native Hawaiians, we are far from sanguine in the hope ot any immediate radical action in this direction. The opposition is immense from the large capital so long profitably invested in this murderous business, which destroys men, body and soul, by wholesale. How shall the followers oi Christ best work with Him for the destruction of this great "work of the Devil," the Liquor Traffic in Hawaii ? It will 17 Number 3 in time be destroyed. Can we not hasten thai end ? We can pray and we can labor for it. We can endeavor our utmost to day to gain some legislation for the restriction and diminution of the power of the Saloons. Nothing is more essential than such reform for saving the fast dwindling native race from extinction. Nothing is more rapidly decimating this poor people than the drunkenness which so prevails among them. It disables their industry. It keeps them in poverty. It saps their health. It is the parent of vice among them. Is this evil work to be continued, in order that a few wholesale dealers may continue Iheir iniquitous gains ? Will not our present excellent Legislative body see their way clear to an effective restriction and diminution of this evil ? The Opium Bill. As expected, the Hill to license the sale of Opium was one of the first to be introduced in the Senate. It was vigorously denounced by Senator Waterhoufce, but vv.is passed to a second reading, its opponents believing that it was better to discuss the question. We are glad to believe that the measure will meet little favor in the Legislature. Under the present prohibitory law hardly any use the fascinating drug except Chinese who had become habituated to it before arriving here. To license it means the spread of the vice to .11 classes of the people, with an especially deadly effect upon the native Hawaiians as proved by past experience. A Useful Business Life. Mr. Alexander 11. Young has now retired from the managership of the Honolulu Iron Works. He has exercised the management of this immense establishment for a long period of years with the highest ability and success. To Mr. Young's mechanical genius, inventive and business ability, more than to those of any other individual, are due that splendid development and perfection ofour Sugar Machinery to which Hawaii has attained. Mr. Young retires from the business with the highest regards of his employees, and with an ample competency as the fruit of his labor. �18 [March, 1896. THE FRIEND.

The part mately concerned in this process—or in of it relating to the subject in hand is as what it is that this process ultimately follows: consists—is a question upon which "In response to your inquiries as to science is as voiceless as speculation is my views concerning the main lines of vociferous" (pp. 413-414). * In his earlier volume entitled "A Candid Examination of Theism," by Physical, published in IN7B, Mr. Romanes had written: "Forasmuch as I am far from being able to agree with those who affirm that the twilight doctrine of the 'new faith' is a desirable substitute for the waning splendor of'the old,' 1 am not ashamed to confess that, with this virtual negation of God, the universe to me has lost its soul of loveliness; and although from henceforth the precept to 'work while it is day' will doubtless but gain an intensified meaning of the words that 'the night cometh when no man can work,' yet when at times I think, as think at times I must, of the appalling contrast between the hallowed glory of that creed which once was mine, and the only mystery of existence as now I find it,—at such times I shall ever feel it impossible to avoid the sharpest pang of which my nature is susceptible." It is as gratifying as it is significant of the trend of modern thought, to learn that this noble mind came at last to see the truth more clearly as foreshadowed in his posthumous volume "Thoughts on Religion," reviewed in our last number. After perusing this volume, one is not surprised to learn from Canon Gore, bis spiritual adviser, that Mr. Romanes "returned before his death to that full, deliberate communion with the church of Jesus Christ which he had for so many years been conscientiously compelled to forego." It is significant, also, that a few clays after her husband's death, Mrs. Romanes wrote to Mr. Gulick, telling how Mr. Romanes was engaged in literary work until an hour betore his death, and then adds: "His unselfishness and patience during these two years was something marvelous; and during the last few months he bad seen his way to facing many difficulties, and God had given him light and help." ARMENIAN |LETTER I ROM MASSACRES. MRS. DR. SHEPARD.] The following letter to her sister, Miss Lucy Andrews of Manchester, N. M., is from the pen of the d.voted missionary jihysician, Mrs. Fanny Andrews Shepard, M. D., of Aintab, Syria. Two earlier letters by Mrs. Shepard on the same subject have been printed in the Hawaiian Star; also one by her husband, Dr. Shepard, in the P. C. Advertiser. Mv Dear Sister: —Last week's mail reached us five days late. This week the papers were sent to us without any letters. It is very hard to be thus cut off from the outside world and have no regular and reliable tidings of what is being done concerning Turkey, and the frightful condition into which the coun- �Vol. 54, No. 3.] try has fallen. Time drags on, and still the reign of terror continues. Some most unjust arrests have occurred of innocent men coming from outside places to Aintab and terribly beaten and im prisoned or sent to Aleppo on accusation of their having come from Zeitoun. That is the only city that has resisted the Turks, and being in the mountains where defense is comparatively easy, after taking the garrison there, it has held out several weeks. Hut 34,00(1 troops are said to be collected about it now, and we daily expect to hear of its extermination or something worse. The villages all through that region have been devastated, men killed and women and children left to starve Ol worse—the oft repeated story of Sassoun massacres. Three hundred women and children were driven from those villages into poor Marash, which is half destroyed by lire and what people are left are starving. These wretched creatures were housed in one of the two remaining churches there, huddled together and are calling for bread. When we hear of the terrible woe that reigns throughout the land, the condition of Aintab seems comparatively comfortable. But it makes our hearts sick to see the hundreds of poor homeless creatures crowded into the church school rooms in rags and filth, where they get a scanty meal of bread in the morning and cracked wheat in the evening, and at night have nothing but a mat to sleep on and a scant covering of an old quilt or rug contributed by their neighbors or collected from the church floor. The poor, pale, sicklychildren, many of whom will die before the winter is over. Besides these homeless hundieds, there are hundreds of others who are yet staying in the wretched hovels that have been stripped of everything but the food laid up for the winter, which the plunderers, in their haste, left partly or wholly untouched. Such families are obliged to remain in their own houses and their condition is only one degree less pitiful than that of those at the church refuge. Hundreds are living on their poor relatives, only to improverish them the more. Meantime, no Chris tian, even of the very few who have their workshops, can venture out to work in them. Several have made the attempt, only to be beaten and driven home. This week four such men were killed. A mob had started from the lower city where the fanatical rabble are waiting like wild animals to attack Christians again, when they can get a chance. These poor men, who had returned to their work in the market, were attacked and killed before the soldiers could or would save them, About the same time, in another place, soldiers fired their guns in front of a Christian house, reported to their commander that they had been fired on by the men in the house, who were in time THE FRIEND. arrested and sent to prison. The latter had not any firearms or other weapons even, for the Christians who had any such preparations for self defense were all disarmed by the government several weeks ago. Such affairs are frequently occurring since the first great massacre. Most of the thousand and over arrested and imprisoned at that time have been gradually released, but a number yet remain lor trial, especially prominent men who defended themselves at that time, or are under suspicion of the gov* eminent for having done so. Oh ! how long is this condition of things to go on ? The European powers have made things a thousand times worse than they were by the course they have taken. It is pitiful to have the jieo|)le ask us Week by week: "Is there nu hope, not a single ray of light ?" They can not understand why America (as well as the other Christian nations) does not come to the rescue. I never expected to see such misery and despair. I never realized how bad the world is— how wicked and devilish mankind in the nineteenth century can be. These poor, simple-minded people with childlike faith are crying in their distress day and night to the God of all power, and as no answer comes their hearts grow faint and some are ready to despair. Morning and afternoon the churches are filled with suppliants. I wish you to make a special plea for our needle workers. A contribution for the most needy of them would be such a lift for my poor crushed heart. Mrs. Catherine March Whitney. This aged friend has passed away, at the close of a complete and wellrounded life of Christian benevolent activity. For nearly fifty years this honored lady has been one of the most prominent residents of Honolulu, and esteemed by all classes. She was for thirty-five years a leading member of the old Bethel Church, and a strong friend and supporter of Dr. and Mrs, Damon. Mrs. Whitney for many years of the was Recording Secretary Woman's Board ot Missions, and Treasurer of the Stranger's Friend Society. Het benevolent public spirit and practical wisdom made her a leading helper in good works. For the past few years she had been laid aside by chronic illness. A happy release has given her rest. Three years more would have completed her half century of union with her honored husband, Henry M. Whitney, who is the oldest missionary's son resident here. 19 Enlarged liberty to the Ex-queen. President Dole has addressed the following communication to Mrs. Dominis "FxECI'TIVE Ik'ILDING, ) "Honolulu, Feb. 7, 1896. ) "Madame: "With the advice of the Cabinet, I take pleasure in modifying the restrictions placed upon your freedom at the time ot your release from confinement. "Until further notice, only the observance on your part of the following conditions will be required by the Govern- — ment. "Not to leave the Island of Oahu without the consent of the President or a member of the Cabinet. "I desire to express my appreciation of the good faith with which you have observed the requirements of a former letter. (Signed) "Saneord B. Dole. "Mrs. Liliuokalani Dominis, "Washington Place." Previous orders restricted her from leaving her house at night without written consent; also, from "having political meetings or other gatherings at your residence or attending such meetings elsewhere." It was deemed sufficient to trust her discretion in respect to meetings. The ex-queen is still on parole, but practically free, with the exception above named. Confidence in Hawaiian Finances. In an address to the Senate on the 21st, Finance Minister Damon made the following important statement:— "For myself personally I have been connected with this office for nearly three years, and from the manner in which the public have subscribed for our bonds here in our own community I have been highly gratified. Up to the present time, from our own resources here in these islands there has been subscribed something over $540,000 for our own bonds; and when a community will have faith in any government, a government whose resources are somewhat limited and where they see everything that is going on in connection with the Government, and will come forward and subscribe for over a half million in bonds, it has given me a great deal of encouragement to continue in the handling of the finances, and if we continue in the conservative manner in which we have acted for the last three years with the continually increasing improvements, I am certain that it is only a matter of a short time until our indebtedness will be largely decreased; for we are now showing steady advance" Our earnest promoter of Kindergarten A special collection for the benefit of work, Mrs. H. C. Coleman, is moving for the establishment of a Normal Class the persecuted Armenians was taken in that work for Hawaiian young women Feb. 23, at the Central Union Church amounting to over $200. in Kawaiahao Seminary. �20 THE FRIEND Death of John T. Waterhouse. Our whole community, and especially the Central Union Church, of which he was one of the most active members, were shocked and deeply afflicted by the death on March 2nd, of this greatly beloved and esteemed citizen. Mr. Waterhouse grew up among us from boyhood into high mercantile eminence. He was a man of exceptionally pure and elevated character, of strong and sound judgment, and of the greatest diligence and fidelity to every duty and trust. Still in the prime of life he has really died of overwork in consequence of excess of labors resulting from the settlement of his father's estate. Mr. Waterhouse was for many years Superintendent of the C. U. Ch. Sunday school, also a most valued Deacon. His public prayers were fervent and ap propriate. He was for sometime a member of the Council of State, and for a short time the temporary President of the Board of Health, of which he has long been a judicious and active member. Our deepest sympathies go out to the bereaved sister and brothers, and especially to the honored widow and the eight children. Three sons pursuing education in Eastern colleges have yet to learn of their loss. "Christian" Evangelists. During the past three weeks, there have been laboring in the "Christian" church with Pastor Garvin, the Rev. J. A. L. Romig, and his musical coadjutor, Otis Harrel. Their daily evening meet ings have been well attended. It is to be hoped that many wandering sinners may Jhrough their labors become savingly turned to the Redeemer. Like all of his sect, Brother Romig lays extreme stress upon the importance of immersion. Hawaii's First Constitution. A series of interesting lectures have been given at the Y. M. C. A. Hall under the auspices of that Association. The one of most permanent interest was the very valuable account by Chief Justice Judd, of the first Constitution of Hawaii, promulgated by King Kauikeaouli, in October, IK4O. The lecture was printed entire in the Evening Bulletin. Probably few persons here were aware that such a constitution had existed. It was a wonderful result of only twenty years of Christian enlightenment. Like Magna Charta to Britain, it was the earliest clear landmark of the progressive Liberal franchises attained in the Hawaiian State. [March, 1896. Minister Willis and the 17th January. Kindergarten Training Graduates. Much has been made both here and in American papers of the refusal of U. S. Minister Willis to participate in celebration as a public holiday of the anniversary of the overthrow of the Monarchy, the event to which the Re public of Hawaii owes its existence. While we hold the event and the day in the highest honor, it appears due to the Minister to observe, that it seems too much to expect that he should participate in honoring the event. It was his painful duty two years ago to fulfil the commission of President Cleveland, and to declare the overthrow of the monarchy to have been an unjust act accom|>lished by the display of United States naval force. He accordingly demanded of President Dole that he should restore the Queen. After such a demonstration as that, how could this diplomat now join in celebrating as glorious the set which he officially denounced as iniqui tous ? It was certainly a curious dilemma. Our Government will readily tolerate some peculiar action in the U. S. Representative under the very singular circumstances. On the afternoon of February 19th, at Emma Hall, were held the graduating exercises or Miss Kastman's Class of Kindergarten Teachers, which had been conducted during the past year and a half under the auspices of the Kindergarten Association. Miss Eastman is an accomplished expert in that branch of instruction, and her class of select young ladies have worked hard and acquired great proficiency in the mysteries of Froebel's admirable system of training infant minds. The Hall was gracefully decorated; a large assembly of friends of the work were present. During the afternoon the handiwork of the graduates was on exhibition in the adjoining rooms, and was much admired, as illustrating the lessons in form, color and construction through which the baby minds are pleasantly The Military Force of the Repoblic. By Minister Cooper's statement to the Senate on the sth, it is learned that the Military force of the Government (excluding volunteer companies) consists of 11 officers, 26 non-commissioned officers, 3 musicians, and 75 privates, in all 110 men. The sum of $126,000 was passed as their cost for two years. It is remarked that with such a force maintained, their services in war are unlikely to be called for, while without such a force, there would be constant insecurity, in the present state of public affairs. Besides this force always on duty, there is a thoroughly drilled and equipped body of several hundred volunteers prompt to answer to a call. Interesting Relics Sold, Last week, Auctioneer Morgan held a two days' sale of several thousand pieces of table ware, silver and cut glass, which had belonged to the table services used in the Palace by various monarchs. A majority of the pieces had the Royal monograms, especialy that of Kalakaua. These brought fabulous prices as souvenirs. For a silver center piece $550 was paid by Mr. Theo. H. Davies. Kalakaua's Austrian helmet was purchased by Miss Kate Field of journalistic fame, for $17. H selection of table ware and other royal curios was reserved for the Bishop Museum. enticed. The Exercises were in part a series of "Hall" songs, sung by the class. Two Fssays were read, one full of thought by Miss Laura Piles on "Religion in the Kindergarten." Miss Pires is a daughter of the able Madeira exde who helped found the Portuguese Mission in Hawaii. Miss Ozawa read an essay on "Play" as the foundation of all Kindergarten work. This essay indicated a rare degree of intelligence and culture in the graceful Japanese lady, the more remarkable that she is from the peasant class, formerly educated in Fort Street School, but receiving additional culture in Tokio. Miss Ozawa has taught the Japanese Kindergarten the past year. Short addresses were made by Mrs. Dr. Hyde and Mrs. H. C. Coleman, after which Diplomas were presented to the following young ladies: the Misses Frances Bindt, Mildred S. Kinney, Ito Ozawa, Laura S. Piles, Flora M. Smith, Caroline Snow, Ella L. Thrum, and Isabel F. Tarbell, Certificates of proficency were also given 10 the Misses Abigail Aikue and Nellie Kahnila. Several of these graduates have enjoyed years of practice in Kindergarten teaching. A full supply of trained teachers is thus now ensured for the present needs of this expanding work. After several years of successful and acceptable administration, during which a splendid gymnasium and other improvements have been added to the Y. M. C. A., General Secretary Corbett has retired from that office to engage in business. A new Secretary lias been sent for. U. S. Minister Willis has announced his intention of leaving in a few days for a visit to his home in Louisville, Ky. He takes the furlough of sixty days to which he is entitled. We cordially ex press the hope of his return to his post in due time. �Vol. 54, No. 3.] Important Tax Reform. The Finance Minister has proposed, and the Legislature appear to approve, a most important change in the Tax Law, by changing the date of assessments from July Ist to January Ist. This will enable the assessors to place some proper valuation on the immense sugar crops, which by July Ist have been completely removed and are non-existent. As the result of that abuse, the Sugar Plantations composing two-thirds of the wealth of the country have hitherto been assessed at not more than one-third of their actual value. Cases have been known where the assessed valuation has been exceeded by the annual dividend made. Hereafter these rich corporations are likely to pay more nearly their fair proportion of the public burden. Pine Apple Canning.

HONOLULU, H. I. This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Board, is responsible for its contents. Rev. O. H. Gulick, - Editor. Consul General Shimanura's Estimate of the Japanese Evangelists. The representative of the Pacific Island Empire, Mr. Shimamura, has just returned from a tour of some weeks to the windward islands where he has been visiting many of the plantations that have Japanese contract laborers. Me says that he sees clearly that those Japanese upon plantations where Christian Japanese evangelists are employed are better off than those upon the plantations that are destitute of such aid to right living. He hopes that the Hawaiian Board will go forward in its good work until all the laborers from Japan shall be reached by the Christian evangelist. We rejoice in such free and unequivocal testimony from one so eminently qualified to jud;,e of the effect of the services rendered by these evangelists, for the uplifting of their countrymen. r Extracts From Letter of Miss Annie E. Abell. Ruk, Micronesia, Oct. 98, '95. Dear Friend: A vessel is now in the lagoon on its way to Japan, so we are preparing to send letters. I reached Ruk Aug. 19th, after seven weeks more on the "Morning Star," reading or writing in the cabin by day, and chatting or star gazing on deck in the evening. The misery of the first days of the voyage up began Feb. 19th, and the tedious weeks which followed, now seem like a dream, while the pleasant weeks spent with the kind Honolulu friends stand out distinctly to be remembered with pleasure and gratitude. And the different services attended at the church were more helpful and inspiring than I can tell. I came back to my work much refreshed, not only physically- but spiritually and mentally as well, and surely I should do better work for the season of rest and change. The return voyage was a pleasant and comfortable one. It does not seem possible that it is already more than two months since I returned. Time passes quickly here as every where, when one is busily and happily employed. * Mr. Price has continued his visits to My 23 THE FRIEND.

Hopeful meetings have been held in other places in the lagoon, and we believe the Spirit is at work in the hearts of the people. Not a few of those who had fallen away are now expressing an earnest desire to come back r.nd make a new beginning. Moses came a few clays ago, joyful with the news of a renewed interest among his people at Uman, of a large school and larger Sunday audiences. Reports from other out-stations tell of increasing attendance at school and Sunday scr vices. Our school is small, but we have reason to think that it will grow in the coming months. Surely there must be a blessing in store for Ruk. One of the donkeys is doing good service carrying Mr. Price to Iras every Sunday. I have been out on him several times, "just for fun." He did beautifully the last time. Perhaps it was owing to the large number of out-runners, only twenty-five! The girls thought it great sport to "pursue Miss Apel on that taniki." Altogether it was quite a lark. The "taniki" are a source of much curiosity to the natives. The second Sunday Mr. Price went to Iras on him he found the shore lined with people to see "that animal." They are going to be of valuable service in the work on our island. The natives say that the bray of the donkeys is like the Morning Star's whistle !

By letter received by Mr. P. C. Jones from Capt. Garland, of date Butaritari, Gilbert Islands, Dec. Ist, we learn that the missionary vessel had visited Kusaie and the Marshall Islands, without disaster more serious than the tearing of sails. She was now to go down through the Gilbert group and assist in the general meeting to be held at N'onouti. After this she would go westward touching again at Kusaie and on to Ruk. Messrs. Nun and Kaai of the Gilbert Islands, Mr. Channon and family from Kusaie, and Mr. Snelling and family from Ruk, expect to come up in the Star; and in addition to these, Capt. Bray and wife and daughter and a part of the crew of the Robert Logan will also come up in her. Captain Garland says that if the "Logan" takes the Mortlock work this year, he may be in Honolulu by the first of April. Rev. W. B. Kapu. On the sth of March died and was buried from the Queen'l Hospital, Rev. W. B. Kapu, for the past three years pastor of the Hawaiian church at Hanalei, Kauai. This man who was a typical representative of the old time Hawaiian, had a long, varied and remarkable can i r for one of his generation. In the records of the very first year of the existence of the Hawaiian Board 1K63, we find his name associated in with those of Rev. Hiram Bingham and Rev. M. Mahoe as a missionary on Apaiang, Gilbert Islands. Soon after he was stationed on the larger island of Tapiteuea. In the destructive internecine war on Tapiteuea, he escaped unscathed being in the northern part of the island and in company with the victorious party. After the death of his wife in 1875 or 1H76 he returned to Honolulu, and went out again to his field on Tapiteuea in 1h77. Later, he took to himself as wife a Gilbert Island woman, and entering into business, his connection with the mission ceased. By some means he incurred the displeasure of the British Commissioner to the Gilbert Islands and was directed to leave the group. Taking passage on the blackbird steamer Monserrat he went to Guatemala, finally found his way to San Francisco, and back to his native land, where for three years or so he has been in pastoral work. His Gilbert Island wife sleeps in Hanalei valley, and two children, a son and daughter mourn his loss. He was 64 years of age at his Eighteen or twenty years ago, upon his visit to the Orient, General Grant was received with profound respect by the great Chinaman Viceroy Li Hung Chang, and by the Emperor of Japan. At that early date .differences had arisen between China and Japan as to the rights of suzerainity over the Loo Choo or Liv Kiu Islands. Both the Chinese and the Japanese governments consulted with their distinguished visitor regarding the matters in dispute between them. General Grant's advice to both China and Japan, was, that they should keep peace between themselves, for said he, if China and Japan go to war with each other, when they get through, European nations will step in and reap the benefits, to the damage of the Eastern nations. The outcome of Japan's attempt to mould and reform Korea, which led to the war with China, must be very disappointing to her. And now that Russia is stepping in to take possession of Korea from which Japan has by war decease. �24 L. A. A Planfor Restricting the Liquor Traffic At a meeting of temperance people called by a committee ot the Y. M. C. A., and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, about ten days since, there was submitted by the joint-committee a plan for limiting or restricting the sale of intoxicating drinks in this country. The details of the plan were not fully worked out, but in a measure the scheme resembled the Gothenberg system. The drinking saloon is to be abolished, dispensaries oflimited number are to be opened for the sale of liquors in sealed packages. These dispensaries are to be as unlike the gilded saloon as possible, nothing attractive being allowed. The dispensary is to be naught but a business place, whence liquors may be dispensed in certified packages not to be opened or drank on the premises. It is thought that this arrangement will greatly reduce or prevent public drunkenness, such as now often disgraces this once peaceful land. The staunch prohibitionists in our midst, some of whom were present, while not sanguine as to the benefits of the new proposition, have given a qualified approval of the scheme in the hope that this may be a stepping stone to something better, some more thoroughgoing measnre. While the politicians were seeking by legislation to increase the value of the depreciated paper currency of the United States, that the government might get back to a cash basis and resume specie payments, Horace Greeley's advice to the Government was expressed in the following terse language:—"The way to resume is to resume." So the advice of the prohibitionist to those who desire to stop the ravages of drunkenness in the land, is, to stop it. The way to prohibit is to prohibit. We believe that the time is not far distant when the civilized Christian communities of our globe will not permit one man to destroy his fellow man by placing before him the passion of 1 alcoholic drink. Any scheme for licensing of the manufacture, or sale of the fell destroyers of the race, can only be justified by the prohibitionist on the ground of its being a stepping stone to a early and total prohibition. We pray that this Legislature may, by law, direct the Board of Education to see to it, that in all the schools of the land which the government shall aid, or shall permit to exist on Hawaiian soil, every scholar shall be instructed as to the poisonous and destructive character of alcoholic drinks.—O.

Thurston's Reply to The Legislative Session. Gresham. Ex-Envoy and Minister Thurston furnished to Miss Kate Field a statement of his case against the late U. S. Secretary of State, W. Cj. Gresham, who a year ago demanded his recall by the Hawaiian Government. This statement had been postponed in consequence of the death of Mr. Gresham. The reopening of the subject by President Cleve land's message, has now called forth Mr. Thurston's defense. It appeared in the Chicago Times-Herald. The ex-minister makes a long series of charges against Mr. Gresham of grossly offensive and neglectful treatment, both of himself personally and of his Government. Some of tne facts stated formerly appeared in President Dole's noted Letter of Specifications, of January 1894. Mr. Thurston closes with the following forcible sentence: "I submit that if in defending my Country and my Government against the continuous attempts of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Gresham to ruin and overthrow them, I unwittingly brushed the bloom from the cheek of the delicate creature knownas "diplomaticetiquette," Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Gresham have clubbed her into insensibility, and driven over her with a coach and four." This conclusion seems fully justified by the facts alleged. — The first Regular biennial Session of the Legislature of the Republic of Hawaii, was convened on the morning of the 19th of February. President Dole read his Message. He recommended improved Sanitary arrangements, and increased Educational facilities on account of the increasing number of school children. A liberal expenditure for public Improvements was urged, to be provided for by Loans, Prominent among these were Roads on Hawaii, and Wharves in Honolulu and Hilo, also the road over Nuuanu Pali. Improvements in the Land ACT were recommended. Kilauea again Inactive.

We sung a hymn that Mr Price had taught them, and Ruth led in prayer. She then spent some time in teaching them the Lord's prayer, after which she gave them a little talk on Christ's blessing little children, which I had taught her the evening before. We had good attention all through, and felt that our first meeting was a success. We shall go every two weeks. After the service I talked with the women and some of the little girls asking them to leave off their paint and ring's, which they promised to do. How many of them meant it ? April *th. To-day we went to Oman to see Moses and his wife, Mr. Logan's old helper. I hesitated to go as it is a long ride and I had the headache, but finally decided to go so as to get used to the boat. We started about 9 a.m. and arrived at the place about noon. Moses has a nice four roomed house built of boards wHn ■ thatched roof. It was clean, with tables, chairs, beds, and pictures on the walls, a good clock, and looked quite like living. Moses and his wife are fine specimens of what Christianity can do for these people. The people from all around came to meet us, neatly dressed and clean, so different from the half naked heathen who meet us in so many other places. The bell rang but being very tired I rested at the house. As they came back from service, Zipporah, Moses' wife, laid the table with a cloth, knives, forks, plates, glasses, a nicely cooked breadfruit, and fried fish. With our sandwiches, canned peaches, and milk, we made a royal dinner. Moses ate with us, but Zipporah declined. After dinner Mr. Price brought out his medicine-box and dispensed medicine to all who came for about an hour. With a good wind we had a lovely sail home, enlivened by a tropical pour. This is my first long trip in the boat, (about twelve miles) and I am quite encouraged, as I was sick only a very little. Helen is never so happy as when on the boat. Some of the places her papa does not think it best for her to go to, as there is rather too much of a display of heathenism. How we long for the time for the glorious change to come, as it will if we are only faithful. May 20th. A new experience in missionary work. A number of the Iras men and boys wished to cut their hair, and take the rings out of their ears, but would not do so till they could have some clothing. They seem to think they are neither Christians nor heathen, if they cut the hair, take out the rings, �26 leave off the paint, and wear their own clothes. A shirt is all that is necessary to satisfy them, and while I think they really look better in their own sheet-like garments than in a shirt only, I thought it was best to satisfy them. We wanted some land cleared, and I told Mr. Price tohirethem, and I would maketheshirts. I made fifteen pink calico shirts, big and little, and didn't I get to hate the sight of them. Ruth helped me some; they were not very elaborate. As each man got his shirt, off came the long hair and rings, and a number of them scared up pants somewhere, so that they soon looked a different set of men. Another new role for us is that of peacemaker between our boys and girls. Like all heathen people these know nothing about self-control, and when two of then come together to live they do not make a very happy home. The general custom is when the woman gets angry, she runs home to her father's or hides till hunted up. The man when he gets angry grabs the baby if there is one and runs to the beach, and later indulges in the pleasant pastime of cutting up his wife's dresses, or her thread which she has prepared for weaving, or anything of hers on which he can lay his hands. When we first came there were two young men and their wives came to live with us. One couple seemed to get along very nicely, but the other couple never could agree. She is a very nice girl, foi she is nothing but a girl, and both are Christians. Twice after they came she ran away to her mother's which is two miles away. The last time she was gone from Saturday morning till Sunday afternoon when her husband brought her home. I had her told that this conduct must be stopped right away. Mr. Price and I have talked to them, till we begin to think they will sometime live in peace. Our other boy Alonzo had been doing so well and we were hoping so much from him as he seemed to be getting hold of spiritual truths. All at once he flew off at a tangent. Their little boy got his thumb badly crushed in the door, and he imagined that it was his wife's fault. He snatched up the child and ran to the beach, the baby screaming all the way. I called to him but he would not listen to me. I finally sent the other boy to tell him to come home. He sent the baby but himself went off to another island and spent the day with his older brother who has gone back to heathenism and is trying his best to get him too He came home about 4 p.m. and Helen came running and said "Oh, mamma, Alonzo is down there cutting up Damaris' dresses." I went down to his house and there lying outside was her dress all cut to pieces. He had brought his brother's knife, to do it with. I saw it useless to speak to him and came away. He then picked up the baby and started offto his mother's, and I came up to the house to cry and pray. THE FRIEND. [April, 1896. It seemed as if it would break my heart.

She went over twice to the ship with her papa. They wanted very much to give her something, but it was very hard to find anything on board a manof-war for a little girl. They gave her a can of jelly and a bar of sweet-scented soap. Now what does all this mean r So far as these men are concerned we believe they are sincere. Hut they have a Catholic government back of them, and the priests are on the lookout all the time, so we can only hope that all will go smooth in the future. We will take the good as long as it lasts and leave the rest with God. The people were pleased because they were kind to them and to us. The) have done no taxing yet. All they did was to gather the chiefs together where they had been lighting and make peace and try to bind them to keep it.

The chiefs to the west of us have renewed the fighting lately, and we fear they will get into trouble when the .Spanish return as they said they intend doing in January. They told them if they continue to fight they would take the chiefs to Ponape and put them in prison. Oct. 29th. There has a trading schoner just come from Ponape and the Gov ernor has sent Helen a present of two goats and two pairs of pigeons, which pleases her much. Moses was over the other day and his report of the work at his place is very encouraging. The people are coming to church and school from all parts of the island. It cheers us, for we feel that it is only the begin ning of the answer to our prayers. We have claimed this Ruk lagoon for Christ, and day by day we hold it up to him. There is no doubt about it, his promises are yea and amen in Christ Jesus. The seed that has been sown in the past, and the life, noble and true, that was laid down for these people, will bring forth fruit. We have sent one of our boys to Iras to day to open a school there. The progress that the people have made there in less than a year is wonderful. How I wish you could realize how happy we are in this work and how blessed it seems to do it. I have had two tonics lately for contentment, and I think I hardly needed either very much, I was so happy before. The first was Mrs. Jewetfs charming life of her father, Or. Gulick. After I read that, I felt as if I never wanted to have a discontented thought even, over the Micronesia of those days. Think of it, chopping flour out of a barrel with a hatchet, and then having to eat the stuff 01 starve. (That was a common condition of our flour in Hawaii over sixty years ago, besides being full of worms. The bread was half sweet potatoes. Ed. Friend.) We have such splendid bread; our flour comes out of the tins as nice as it leaves 27 THE FRIEND. San Francisco, Then all the canned vegetables we can have, while they are not good like fresh ones, they are a vast improvement over none at all. With our milk, cream and butter in abundance, we do not lack for the necessaries of life. If our wicked hearts do sometimes long for the leeks and garlics of Egypt, it is not for long. The time we feel it is when some one is sick, and we long for the ice and the cooling drinks, and the dainties of the home market to tempt the appetite. So far we have had very little sickness. Then think again of the long months when they waited and watched in vain for a ship to bring the mail and provisions. Our white-winged Stai is sure to come at just about such » time. * * On top of this I read the Bishop's Conversion, Ugh ! the horrid snakes; did you know, we do not have one ? As the custom house officer told Joaquin Miller "He no snake in all Hawaii." Small-pox, cholera, heat intense almost unbearable, fevers, and what not in India. Why when I put mail even spelled with the biggest type in the whole printer's outfit in with all these it went away up in the scale. Our beautiful island, washed clean with her drenching showers, kissed by the sea and fanned by the ocean breezes, how sweet and lovely it is. Our beautiful lagoon, changing, restful, soothing, how many happy moments, yes hours, I spend watching it, and the beautifui sunsets beyond the other islands in the distance. * I thank God for this home every day, and the work he has given us here. No other place surpasses It in my estimation, except California, the land of perfection. February sth, 1890. I shall have to bring my letter to a close, as the "Star" goes day after to-morrow. We have been rather an afflicted family lately. Seven weeks ago Mr. Price was taken with malarial fever, and was very ill for two weeks, then two weeks when he gained slowly. But January 26th, he was taken with dysentery and has been very sick for a week. He is improving now, and we think the worst is over. During all this time, I was his only nurse. I assure you it was a hard time and only by holding tight to my Savior's hand could I keep up. At last on the twenty-third it seemed as if all the waves and billows came over me, and it almost seemed as if God had forsaken us. I said in my anguish, "Ah, Lord, is it Yes it was. not the fourth watch?" Next morning the Morning Star came, and on it Dr. Pease Did you ever see him ? Six feet two, and every inch of him just as good as he is big. What a load he lifted from our hearts ! How I wished I could have trusted just one more day. Ja"uary 27th our little baby boy came, and now we are all very happy. Helen is delighted with her little brother, and thinks she will never be lonely. She and Ruth have been my house-keepers, * and have done all the cooking and waiting on us both. The little feet were very tired some nights, but she never let a murmur escape her lips. Mr. Price is doing well now, and we hope another week he will be quite well. By the time you receive this we will all be well and happy as usual. Your loving Siste, S. J. Price. Miss Abell's Letter.

This table is ten feet long, almost three feet wide, and a little more than a foot high—our pupils all sit on the floor. Nov. 21. We have been having stormy weather the last two weeks— heavy rains and hard winds. We fear much damage has been done to the breadfruit crop. A great many of the half-grown fruit have fallen, and the storm made a spray from the sea which is harmful. Also a large number of banana trees have been blown down on our own grounds. There has been little fresh food for a long time, so the people are longingly waiting for the new breadfruit. There is always plenty of the preserved bread-fruit; but they say they cannot eat it without fish or other sea food to go with it, and when they do not have that they prefer to go hungry. They are very fond of pork and conse- �28 THE FRIEND. quently raise a great many pigs, which is a cause of great trial to us, tor they have a fondness for our growing taro, young pineapples, banana shoots, etc. One morning when the wind was still blowing quite hard, I heard a conch blowing, and on inquiring what it was for, was told that they were preparing to "work the spirits," as they wanted the wind to stop blowing. It had already gone down some, but as it was considerably lighter the next morning, they no doubt thought it the result of their spirit worship. * * The girls are gathering stones for a mound which I plan to arrange with ferns near the house.

Here are the French headquarters, with some six priests and nine nuns, and their vessels lying at anchor most of the year. At the other two stations the teachers and scholars have been almost idle, except looking out for food on this drought island. Tapiteuea. —At this island the school work has gone on quite steady with some ten teachers. Of course the Catholic children could not attend. The dancing if any is very private. Rev. Paaluhi's work in his district goes on steadily, while Rev. Kaaia is bishop over a territory thirty miles long. This missionary is also the expert S. S. teacher for old and young. He cannot leave his field, although a vacation has been granted to him. Banaba. —The faithful Enoch has died From cancer. His widow went astray enticing some others who fell. Thus this year no contribution and fewer attend the meetings. The bodies of the heathen are covered with ornaments; the teacher had hard work to keep them from dstroying his mango and lime and sour-sop trees for to make ornaments of the leaves. This teacher Taremon and his wife are steady going and uncomplaining, and had been seven years on this rock without a change. They now take another year at Kusaie. Pleasant Island —The Germsn Kom issar has decided against the teachers ever returning. Conclusion. While rain has fallen quite sufficient in the northern part of the group, and enough to revive the southern islands, the continuous dancing with feasts and DO work keeps the islands as destitute as a real drought. We shall put in an earnest plea to the new Commissioner to stop the dancing and other harmful games. As to Catholicism the French are in good force. The Bishop and nine sisters arrived by S S. Archer. Two of the men have died the present year, and the superior ol the sisters is reported as being very weak. — Maunaolu Seminary Entertainment.

Our Missionary Ship unexpectedly arrived on March Itith. She came direct from Ruk. Besides Captain Garland's family, her only passengers were Rev. K. M. Pease, M.D., and Miss Crosby of the Ruk Mission, together with Rev. N'ua and Rev. Kaai and wife, Hawaiian missionaries from the Gilbert Islands. It is much regretted that the "Star" failed to connect with the Robert IF. Logan which sailed from here January 4th, as Capt. Bray and family trusted to returning in the "Star." Capt. Garland was wholly without knowledge of the Logan's movements, or even whether she had been actually built. A report of the Star's voyage will be found in the Hawaiian Board columns. Capt. Gar land with his family has gone to the Eastern States, expecting to return to his vessel in June. [April, 1896. L. A. Thurston on Opium. The following is taken from an address of Mr. Thurston before the American League. Of special value are the remarks on our duty to the native Hawaiians. Mr. Thurston deprecates action upon either Opium or Liquor questions until annexation is secured, lest divisions be created between the supporters of the Government. "I do not think the financial side of the opium subject should be considered. Opium is an unmitigated evil anywhere, and compared with liquor it was an undivided evil. Liquor has always been used by our race, but there has never been a use of opium that does not work harm. It is a death-dealing evil that should not be kept on. "Does prohibition prohibit ? This is not a new question. Under license the use of the drug increased. Those of yoil who were here will remember how young men who begin the use of the drug became total physical wrecks. Those who are not wrecks today are dead from the effects of its use. There are men here who say: 'There's no use trying to save the Kanakas; they are going to the devil anyhow; give them the same chance as the whites and let them get on if they can." "But this is not the way to look at it. The Government must face things as they are. We have taken it upon ourselves, the task of conducting the affairs of Government, and it is as much a part of those duties to look after the Hawaiian as if he was a younger brother. "Prohibition does prohibit, to a certain extent; the police records show it and you seldom find a Kanaka arrested for smoking opium or having it in his possession. It is only those who have the habit who take the risk. "A stricter law should be made and a higher penalty fixed for the crime. The fine for having opium in possession should be §200, with the option given to the culprit of leaving the country, never to return. In that way from 500 to 1,000 fiends would be out of the country in a year. In this way the demand for opium would decrease, and the supply which tempts the smuggler would not be required. There never was an opium fiend in jail who earned his board, and that is only lf< cents a day. "So much as against license. There is such a large profit in opium that there is no us,e trying to keep it out, and there is too much temptation to the fortydollar policeman or the hundred-dollar customs guard to expect them to assist in keeping it out. They need not be bribed to pass opium that they know is on a vessel; they simply take a couple of hundred dollars to look the other way." �Vol. 54, No. 4.] THE FRIEND.

Board. Mr. Emerson takes several months furlough from his duties in United Church Opposition to Opium. Honolulu. The Anglican Church Chronicle for March contains an earnest protest against the proposed licensing of Opium. Bishop Willis also on the Diocesan Magazine indicates his reprobation of the measure. It has been denounced in the various Evangelical pulpits. The passage of such a measure by the Legislature seems extremely improbable. The Portuguese Petition. A prominent event of the month has been the presenting, in an orderly and peaceable manner, by a procession 01 nearly 700 Portuguese residents, of a petition to the Executive and Legislature, against the farther importation ot Asiatic labor, on the ground that it results in the imported laborers filling all the avenues of employment to the great detriment of workmen of other nationalities. It is represented with some force that a bad precedent has been set by a large body of men presenting themselves at the building where the Legislature are assembled. Although not so in the present case, such action in the futnre might have a menacing aspect, and might exercise on intimidating effect upon the law-makers. It would seem that such proceedings should for the future be prohibited. At the same time, our Portuguese fellow citizens appear to have a genuine grievance. It cannot but be an evil to have our superior white classes continually depressed by the competition of cheap Asiatic labor. Capital will of course secure the cheapest labor possible. Evidently something needs to be done to prevent the Asiatic from crowding the white man out of the country. Annexation would solve the problem. The Honolulu Cholera Genuine. Experts in the United States and Europe have pronounced the specimens of cultures forwarded to them from Honolulu to be the bacilli of genuine Asiatic Cholera, the true comma bacillus. Hilo Citizens in public meeting, protest against further expenditures upon their old Boat wharf. They call for a Ship wharf beyond Waiakea. This seems a just demand. An Unfaithful Ship's Surgeon. The O. & O. S. S. Belgic arrived from San Francisco on Saturday afternoon at 2 p. m. but did not get to her wharf until 5 o'clock. The delay was caused by the discovery by Dr. Day of a case of leprosy in the Chinese steerage. Dr Day refused to allow the vessel to come in until the necessary permit had baen granted by the Board of Health. This was given at a special meeting of the Board, at which Dr. Bowie, the ship's surgeon, was present. He was censured by the Board for his inattention to his duties, it being evident he had no knowledge of the case until it was pointed out to him by the port physicians.— Evening Bulletin. This Dr. Bowie is the same surgeon who last August introduced an epidemic of Cholera into Honolulu, by concealing the existence of that disease on board the Belgic. It seems strange that the Steamship company should keep such a person in their employ. Sugar Crop of 1895. The figures are officially given as follows: "Number of acres of cane 47,.'599' manufactured "Number of tons (2000 lbs.). 153,419$ "Number of pounds of sugar made per acre..6,472." In compating the three and a quarter tons obtained per acre with the yield elsewhere, it should be remembered that our cane stands eighteen months instead of nine months as in Louisiana and beet sugar countries. Dean Stanley on the Historic Episcopate. "There was a time when it used to be the prevailing belief of English divines that Episcopacy, in the sense of the necessity of one presiding officer over the Christian community, reached back to the very first origin of the Christian society. The belief, in the enlarged atmosphere of more exact scholarship and more enlightened candor, has now been abandoned. The most learned of all the living bishops of England, whose accession to the great See of Durham has been recently welcomed by the that the early constitution of the Apos- tolic churches of the first century was not that of a single pastor, but of a body of pastors indiflerently styled 'bishops' or 'presbyters;' that it was not till the very end of the Apostolic age that the office which we now call the Episcopate gradually and slowly made its way in the churches of Asia Minor; that Pre»bytery was not a later growth out af Episcopacy; but that Episcopacy was a later growth out of Presbytery; that the office which the Apostles adopted was a rule not of bishops, but of presbyters."

Vol. 54, No.*4.] - Editor. Meeting of The Association of the Island H of awaii, at Hookena, South Kona. The semiannual meeting of this Association opened March 12, and closed the 14th, giving place to the Sahhath School Association which held its meetings for about two days. The educational stimulating and encouraging effect of these semi-annual Association meetings it is not easy to over estimate. "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpened the countenance of his friend;" said the wise man. These Association meetings are occasions where the Hawaiian ministers leaving behind them the cares and the toils of their parish duties meet as friends and brethren to sharpen one another's wits, to exchange views, to hold counsel with each other and with the lay delegates from the churches in regard to the interests of the churches and fields under their care. Bubbling wit, bright sayings, and continuous good natured bantering charac terizes a large part of the hnsiness proceedure of these meetings. But withal much serious attention is paid to the vital interests of the churches, and to the proper fulfilment of the duties of the several pastors and evangelists. Half an hour of each morning session was devoted to prayer and conference. Eight of the pastors of the island were present, and three were absent. Nearly all thechurches were represented in sonic measure either by the pastor or supply, or by lay delegate, or by both. Each pastor or supply of a church gave a report of his work and of the condition of his parish, Mr. C. Ahi Lasaro presented a unanimous call from the church of Kekaha. Upon examination by the Association he was approved for ordination, and a Com mittee was appointed to ordain and install him as pastor of the Kekaha church. The examination, or rather exhibition of the Sabbath schools of Kona, was an interesting and lively affair. There was evidence of much faithful labor and thorough Bible instruction on the part of many Sabbath School teachers. Especially interesting was the recitation and singing of the infant class of the Hookena Sabbath School, of which Mr. and Mrs. Amalu are the teachers and of recitation of Bible history, and sacred story, is very pleasing ; showing the remarkable musical talent of the modern Hawaiian. In this manner was recited in song the story of Samuel, of David and Jonathan, of David and Goliath, and the story of Bethlehem and of the Angels. Some such form of Bible recitation in SOnK, has of late years been much used in Missionary work in India. Extracts from Capt. Garland's Report of The Thirteenth Voyage of "The Morning Star." Sailed from Honolulu June "-'7, 1895 for Butaritari, Gilbert Islands, Dr. Fease, Miss Ahell and theCaptain'sfamily being passengers. On July 9th, one of the crew fell overboard. We lowered a boat, ;.nd put the ship about, and had the man on board again in five minutes time. Touched at Butaritari July 20th, and landed the goods for the Hawaiian missionaries there to await the return of the Morning Star in November. Arriving at Kusaie July 27, we had a difficult time landing the goods, hut were ready for the voyage to Ruk August Nth. Just as we were to sail the Spanish gun-boat "Quiros" arrived from Fonape with the Governor on board. He sent us word not to go to Ponape, and then went into the weather harbor and anchored, twelve miles away. We followed him in and anchored near. Dr. Fease and I went on board and had an interview with the Governor. It was the same old story of two years past, of which I have written before. We could of course go to Fonape and anchor, but he absolutely refused to let us communicate with the shore in any manner, he having had no orders from Manila to th t effect, neither had he heard of any settlement of affairs from his Government. As it seemed useless to go to Fonape. we passed by and reached Ruk August 17; having touched at Pingelap, Mokil and Nagatik to give Miss Foss opportunity to see the people. At Ruk we found all well except Mr. Snelling, who was quite sick. Arriving at Kusaie again Aug. 2N, we were until Sept. 5, fitting for the Marshall Islands trip, sailing that day with Dr. and Mrs. Rife, Dr. Fease and Misses Palmer and Crosby, with the Marshall Island Schools. Also by consent of the missionaries I took Rev. Likiak Sa and his wife for a trip through that group, Sept. 9th, at Jaluit we made a pleasant call on the German Commissioner; and he returned the call, visiting us on board the "Star." On Oct. 12th, We sighted a Marshall Island canoe with twenty people on board, who had lost their reckoning and leaders. The most striking feature was the sing- had run 45 miles past their island. As ing of many classes. The adaptation of they were short of food, our Marshall boys some of our best church music to a form supplied them. They followed us till the next morning when they lowered their sail in a squall and we lost sight of them twentj miles from land. Pour days later when we left the island the canoe had not arrived, having pro bably drifted back in calms. Another canoe was soon to start in search of them. We were at Kusaie again from Nov. 7th, to 16th, taking in ballast and water, and preparing for the Gilbert Island trip. Sailed on the llith, with only a few of the Gilbert Island Scholars, Mr. Channon not being able to go At Butaritari Nov. J9th, Mr. VValkup came on board and we sailed Dec. '-'nd, for a cruise through the group. Landed the Missionaries and teachers on Nonouti Dec. 14, to hold the General-meeting which lasted until the 10th. On that day we started to carry them all home again. While we were at Nonouti one of the Roman Catholic missionaries died; one had died two months earlier. The English Commissioner is having houses built on Tarawa, and will make that island his headquarters. From Apaian I took Rev. I). Kaai and wife, and from Butaritari Rev. J. Nua and little daughter as passengers for Honolulu. Sailed from Butaritari for Kusaie Jan. :*, 1N96, in company with the ''Hiram Bingham ;" we arrived the Bth, she the I Oth. Sailed Jan. 17th, IKU6 for Ruk; Dr. Fease and Miss Crosby taking passage for Honolulu. Arriving at Ruk we found Mr. Snelling had recovered; but Mr. Frice was quite sick. Owing to Mr. Frice's illness the usual visit to the Mortlock Islands was omitted. We were greatly disappointed not to see the new "Logan." We s iled from Ruk Feb. 6th, and arrived in Honolulu March 16th. after a good voyage of forty days. Geo. F. Garland. Brief Statistics of The Marshall Island Mission Work. _ I Kusa,e \ Caroline Islands, Jan. 10th, 1896. Rkv. O. P. Emerson; Honolulu Hawaiian Islds; Dear Sir:— Your letter of June 20th, came by the "Star." I will give you a summary of my statistical report. There are now thirty laborers, native and Americans of whom twenty-two are in the Marshalls. There are 1,977 church members, of whom 434 were received during the year, (99 at Ebon.) There are 1,115 in the schools, a slight decrease, which decrease is owing to the fall of two of our teachers, and in consequence of which there is no school at their islands. There is also an encouraging gain in contributions in this time of need with the Mission Boards. This year the amount was $987.83, as against $634.17 �April, 1896 THE FRIEND. 32 last year. The work has some discouragements, but on the whole, I think it is moving steadily on. Hoping that these few facts will be of some assistance to you ; I am, Yours truly, C. F. Rife.

WORK IN THE GILBERT ISLANDS. On my first reaching Butaritari from San Francisco July 7th, the work here as well as at Makin was in good shape.

Last year this was the brightest spot, and the catechist our oldest and very able teacher. Up to July the congregations were 160, and a school of 6ft.

Heathen games like base ball must have long This permission to have practice. heathen games on holidays creates a desire for all the old night games and lewdness. In fact they say they do not want the dance without the lewdness. Neither the limitation as to the games, or the school law, have been regarded on any island thus far. The schools cannot be carried on while the people are so occupied. Here where the natives have been well dressed for years, the majority now have long hair, and are — almost naked.

The ultimate aim of all right Education is the formation ol pure and noble character in the | apil. Let this always be kept in view. The Lord Jesus Christ imparted to his disciples the leaven of his own holy and divine character, and this leaven of saintliness has since been slowly permeating mankind. It is the Christian's task to perfect such character in himself and to impart it to others. "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them." "In Christ ye also are builded together for a habitation of (rod in the Spirit." By his Spirit. G>d dwells in souls that receive him loyally. They bring forth the fru'.s of the Spirit, love, mercy, patience, meekness, purity, justice, faith. They live in constant prayer, communion with God. Their "life is hid with Christ in God." Such is the complete Christian. It is such that Christ wills his followers to be; it is such characters that the Highest education will seek to multiply. New Mission Chapel.

Prof. Marquez, a leader in Theosophy in Honolulu, in a recent lecture accredited Polynesian kahunas or wizards, as "adepts" in Theosophic mysteries, as follows : "Look at witchcraft, so loftily denied by science, now confirmed and admitted by scientific experience with mediums, showing that the witches of old were only mediums under another name, sensitives who increased their powers under magical ceremonies, such as even the ancient Polynesian 'kahunas' knew how to do." Than kahunas, voodoos, and heathen wizards in all savage countries, nothing is more malignant and diabolical. If spiritism, or any other practice is allied in any way to such unholy dealings, wise men will avoid them, whatever the psychical facts involved. For instance, the Polynesian kahuna most diligently and patiently "increases his powers under magical ceremonies" as follows: At the death of his infant child, or relative, he takes possession of the corpse, and carries a part of it constantly on his person, regularly going through the form of administering food to it, whenever he-eats, also praying to it. By this means he develops the spirit of the infant into a powerful demon, devoted to his service, and ready at his command to occupy and kill the body of any person he orders it to slay. There are such kahunas now here in Honolulu, believed by their native neighbors to have great and deadly power, and many natives right here fall victims every year to their witchcraft through the murderous power of the alleged demon, which according to Mr. Marquez, may doctrines ? AVmicoensg PrevalntHawaiians. The Hawaiian Board page of this issue will probably give more or less of the report made by Rev. Messrs. Timoteo and Ezera of the work and results of their mission to native churches on Kauai. We borrow some of their statements from our own notes of that report. Three very prevalent forms of destructive wickedness were especially combated by the Evangelists, with much success. Those were sorcery, drunkenness, and impure living. Large numbers, even of intelligent people, were living under a heavy yoke of superstition, in bondage to witchcraft and fear if the kahunas. To the question whether Waimea exceeded Honolulu in the prevalence of this evil, Mr. Timoteo declined to express an opinion. A local Judge arose in public and said, "I will no more touch liquor nor awa. Awa is evil and filthy. I too have been misled by the heathen prophets. I have been living in therealm of darkness and misery. I renounce all those works of the evil one, and stand on the side of the Lord." (One does not rind added luster to the eminent fame of Robert Louis Stevenson, in the fact that he lent countenance to the practice of Kava or awa drinking in Samoa. Stevenson however, viewed the practices of uncivilized life from an attitude of genial sympathy, rather than from the moral stand point of the missionary.) The Evangelists reported a great prevalence of promiscuous living, and a large proportion of illegitimate children. Some were induced to terminate their unlawful union by marriage, others by separation. Domestic life was extensively impure. This however is an ancient condition, and a leading cause of continued depopulation. Intemperance was common. Much liquor was procured from Honolulu, and domestic manufacture of various intoxicants was common. Many talks against intemperance were given with marked effect. Against all the forms of evil named, constant warfare was made in house to house visitation. The report of the evangelist was most instructive, and full of revelation of the moral and social condition of the masses of the Hawaiian people, who with all �THE FRIEND 42 [June, 1896. their education and comparative opu- Smith, the mission physician resident Ed through a large piece of very high lence, are still greatly in bondage to their here, who in the absent of the pastor cane belonging to H.

It may properly be* mentioned that Rev. E. S. Timoteo, who is a man of unusual sweetness and devoutness, as well as wisdom, has been a steadfast supporter of the ex-queen, unlike a majority of his native colleagues in the ministry, a fact which might tend to bias him to minimize the evils reported. He has no doubt reported the facts faithfully. AVisit to Kauai in 1845. An old journal of about 1845 lately came into our hands, from which the following abridged selections are here given, describing things as they were on Kauai fifty years ago. Nov. 4. —As I was needing a relaxation, Mr. Ladd proposed my making a trip to Kauai, combining business with pleasure. At 4 p.m. I stepped aboard the little craft belonging to Ladd & Co., with three other foreigners on board. As we left the town blending in the distance with the mountains behind, we enjoyed cooking our cup of chocolate and eating our supper, expecting to be in Koloa next morning. Had a comfortable night on deck, as Ladd & Co. allow few natives to go on their vessels. It was calm and in the morning we had advanced but a third of the way. It was not until after three nights on board that caught a light breeze and anchored late in the afternoon at Koloa. Messrs. Burn ham and Goodalt; were on the beach, and I was soon at home at Mr. (is. 7th.—This house is prettily located on a hill commanding a fine prospect. On the right lies a pretty valley, highly cultivated, in which "Oil village" is situated. Mr. Goodale's oil works and houses for the natives making quits a cluster. On the left is old "Old Hoary Head," a lofty peak standing as sentinel to Koloa and environs. Mr. and Mrs. Goodale seemed as happy as one could expect, lacking society. Newton Ladd was visiting here when I arrived. We visited the mill houses and then kept on down to the store. Saturday is holiday at Koloa. The natives on the plantations are not required to work, it being the weekly trading day. You will see one with his piggies coming squalling along, another with his poultry, one with mats, another with tapa, and soon, anything that the haole wants or that will bring the cash. The "store" is also opened to-day, and the natives flock in early to see the new goods that may have arrived during the week, which soon find eager purchasers, and in a few hours are on their persons. Home to tea, and spent a pleasant evening. Bth.—A most still and quiet Sabbath. In the p.m. we walked down Church, which was held at the house of Dr. in English at his own house.

Mr. W. and myself made the last trip of the canoe. We found it very tiltish. He was nearly double my weight, and had we been better acquainted, with dry clothes at hand, he would have upset me, for he saw "I looked as if I wanted a ducking." After joking about it, a short walk through the town which had a very unprepossessing appearance, brought us to the house of Mr. Whitney. It stands near his church, and in the pleasantest part of the town, which is not saying much, as it is said to be a very dry, dirty, dull, dreary sort of a place. Mrs. W. however has a fine dairy and makes beautiful butter—but I could see no feed. Mrs. Whitney provided a very good dinner, and there was a marked diminution of the viands by the time we were through. After a few hours with our kind host, we hurried away to be back at Koloa in good season. We made good speed homeward, and had a good bathe in a cool creek just as the sun was sinking in the west. We were not sorry to rest, after being most of the day in the saddle. Dedication of Pauahi Hall. This magnificent new school building of Oahu College at Punahou, was formally dedicated with appropriate exercises, and handed over to the faculty of the College on the evening of Thursday, May 21st. A very large and select audience filled the commodious assembly room in the second story of the building. Previous to the hour, many of them had enjoyed an inspection of the numerous class rooms and library. The building was splendidly lit up by its numerous electric lights in every room, and presented an imposing appearance as it was approached. The grounds were also brightly lit up with incandescent lights. The exercises were opened by a prelude upon the fine organ presented by Mrs. S. N. Castle as a memorial of her late husband. An invocation followed by Rev. C. M. Hyde. After a pleasant selection by the College Glee Club, a financial statement of the cost of the building was made by the Treasurer of the College, Mr. P. C. Jones. The leading items of cost were for stonework $39,659.76; carpenter's work $25,036.-60; roofing, plumbing, etc. $6,518.56. The total cost of building, fixtures and furniture was $78,684.05. The stone is a fine-grained, compact gray lava quar ried on a neighboring tract. It is handsomely cut and laid, and makes the most finished and elegant building yet erected in Honolulu. With an interlude by the College orchestra, Mr. Jones was succeeded by 43 THE FRIEND the chief speaker of the evening, President S. B. Dole, in an address of half an hour. Mr. Dole reviewed the history of the institution from its earliest preliminary opening in 1841, and its more formal start on July llth, 1842, as a boarding school for the children of the missionaries, under the Rev. Daniel Dole, the father of the President. The original structure was of adobe with thatched roof in the form of a letter E, plastered and whitened with coral lime. Better buildings were successively added, including the stone school building, erected by Mr. Rice in 1863. After a few years, the doors of the institution were opened to others than the children of the missionaries, and after a time, a College charter was taken out, in the expectation that a full college curriculum would be given. This hope was frustated by the tenbency of students to seek the larger college life abroad, and the institution has continued to be an Academy of high grade. Mr. Dole spoke of Mr. Charles R. Bishop's early participation in the boy's games in the for ies, and of his later services as a wise and faithful trustee; also of his more recent large assumption of its financial burdens, especially the erection of the Bishop Hall of Science, and now of this Pauahi Hall. The President commented on"the lesson of wealth consecrated to the cause ot humanity, perhaps the only respectable excuse for the amassment of riches." Noting the present advance of Punahou in development of taste and esthetic sentiment, he hoped for continued growth of sturdy manly and womanly character. It has been from the beginning a place where education meant character-making. In closing, the speaker expressed his assurance that the College would keep abreast of the progress of science, and would hesitate to ask no question of the watchers for the coming light, seeking for (rod's latest message of truth, and not being afraid of the answer. After another selection by the glee club, Hon. W. R. Castle delivered the keys of the buildingto President Hosmer, with an address in which hr reviewed the history of the building. Its erection was first suggested by Mr. Hosmer to the trustees in March, 1893. In August the erection was decided on. Plans were adopted and excavation begun during 1894. Mr. Ripley was supervising architect, It is now complete and furnished and ready for immediate occupation. Mr. Castle explained that $50,000 was donated by Hon. C. R. Bishop, directly for this building, and the'remaining $38,6X4 was derived from income of other funds fiven by Mr. Bishop for the uses of the college. In accepting the trust, President Hosmer replied to Mr. Castle at length, especially recalling the names of leading benefactors of the institution. The first was the Rev. Hiram Bingham who in 1840 so generously donated the broad lands owned by the school. Next was Mr. Dole who brought with him stores of learning. Tribute was paid to Dr. G. P. Judd who gave valuable labor and counsel, and to S. N. Castle, for forty years the treasurer of the college; also to Rev. Dr. Lowell Smith, one of the generous and devoted founders of the school, and Rev. Dr. S. C. Damon, who gave it so much of his fatherly care. Rev. Dr. Beckwith was also remembered, "the beloved teacher of some of you, the beloved pastor of more of you, and the faithful friend of you all." E2special tribute was paid to the benevolent munificence of Charles R. Bishop and his noble wife. Rejoicing was expressed in the greatly increased facilities for education, not only at Punahou, but also in the Kamehameha Schools, the magnificent new High School, and other institutions. The audience then joined heartily in singing "God bless our native land." A postlude was played on the organ by Wray Taylor. The building is both substantial and artistic. The architect was C. B. Ripley. The main entrance is from the campus on the east side, with one on the north side for the special use of the pupils. The Assembly Hall is 58x47 feet, and will be used as a schoolroom as well as an art hall. The extreme dimensions of the edifice are 104x70 feet, with two stories and massive basement rooms. Solid piers are carried up into a tower which is fitted with a dome and instruments for astronomical work. A room in the basement will be fitted tor manual training, and another with gymnastic equipments. It is proposed, however, to erect a separate gymnasium. Punahou thus enters on a fresh stage of progress. Death of Miss Kate Field. Our Honolulu community, and especially the American portion, were visited on the P. m. of the 19th by a sudden shock of sorrow, caused by the unexpected decease of the gifted lady journalist who has been for several months visiting these Islands, and reporting concerning us to the Chicago Times Herald. Miss Field passed away in little more than one hour after landing from the steamer W. G. Hall, whence she had been borne to the home of Dr. McGrew, upon a stretcher by sailors from U. S. S. Adams. Miss Field had for several weeks been exploring the out-districts of the island of Hawaii, and had undergone severer labor in traversing difficult roads, than proved to have befitted her age of 55 years, and somewhat worn-down physique. Pneumonia developed itself on reaching Kailua from Kohala, on the 13th. From there she went to Mr. Greenwell's at Kaawaloa. On tha 18th �44 THE FRIEND. she was attended by Dr. Adriahce, a passenger on the W. G. Hall, from the Coronet party, who conducted her on board. After reaching the ship, she rapidly became worse, and soon entirely prostrated. A dangerous condition appearing, the speed of the ship was hastened, reaching the city several hours in advance of regular time. The funeral was conducted on the 20th at Central Union Church. Beautiful and abundant floral decorations were contributed by a large number of prominent ladies. The Press furnished a large floral testimonial in red, white and blue in remembrance of Miss Field's patriotic Americanism. The casket was placed in the vault of J. H. Paty, Esq., awaiting directions from Chicago. A telegram was sent per S. S. Doric to be dispatched from Yokohama. Miss Field is said to have been without living relatives. Of warm, loving and admiring friends, she had multitudes. She had made many such in Hawaii, who sadly mourn for her. items to be provided for, have swelled the amount considerably above the original $750,000 proposed. There is every prospect of a very active prosecution during the next two years of important public works of many kinds. Among them will be a wagon road over Nuuanu Pali, a wharf at Hilo, extensive roads in Hilo, Puna, and Kona, and new wharves in Honolulu. Most of these improvements will be highly remunerative to the public Treasury, through increase of taxable values. The Loan will be placed on the Honolulu market at five per cent interest. With the present abundance of sugar dividends investors will eagerly take up the bonds. Schools in Hawaii. The following statistics are obtained from the Report of the Board of Education.

Treasury of Hawaiian Board. This is a bountiful year, and we are rejoiced to learn that the Board closes its financial year out of debt. But it is always in need of fresh funds, and calls for new work are increasing. Cheap Wine Proposed. That pouion of our community who advocate Temperance principles, and are seeking greater restrictions upon the traffic in intoxicants, have been greatlysurprised and grieved at the introduction into the Senate by one of the Executive, of a bill to admit free of duty all California wines of less than 18 per cent, alcoholic strength. Such wines being usually fortified up to the full strength permitted by the tariff, this becomes a proposition to deluge the country with a cheap and strong intoxicant, and thus to turn out drunkards faster than ever from the lanks of our young men. A serious offense was added to the hard working and earnest temperance corps, in telling them that this was a measure in the int'_-est of Temperance, by substituting wholesome wines at low prices for the fii ry liquors now sold. There may be persons so misled as to believe that abundant wine is an antidote for the evils of drunkenness. Intelligent Temperance advocates well know that wine, especially when fortified to 18 per cent., is as sure a creator of drunkards as gin or whiskey. Let the gentlemen who advocate it, teach its use to their sons, and see where the boys will come out. Most of them will end in drunkard's graves. And then are we not killing off the natives fast enough with the present liquor supply, without adding a cheap strong wine to drive the race more rapidly to its end ?

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Board, is responsible for its contents. - Rev. O. H. Gulick, Editor. The "Morning Star." The Morning Star has heen upon the ways and hercopper, which was thought to need repairs, is found good for another year at least.

It is to be regretted that as yet no suitable candidate has been found to re enforce the Hawaiian-Gilbert Island Mission. RfErxeotpamchsREfveMngvli.ts essrs. Timoteo Ezera. and These two well known preachers of Oahu were appointed by the Hawaiian Board for the special woi k of visiting and arousing to active Christian life the churches in Kauai, and were supported while on this service by the personal contributions of two Christian gentlemen. Having completed three months of this service among the Hawaiian churches of Lihue, Koloa and Waimea they now make a most interesting report of their work as follows: Ist—Visiting from house to house. '2nd—Revival meetings. 3rd—Relief of the needy pastors. 4th—Relief of the needy churches. sth—The reconciling of friends who have been at variance with one another. 6th—Measures for awakening the churches. 7th—The removal of some of the obstacles to the progress of the good cause. Bth—The establishment of family worship. We and the young men who accompanied us have labored most earnestly 47 For the suppression of intemperance at house to house visiting, seeking to enter every house, exhorting the inmates and drunkenness we have pursued two to awake from their life of sin under the lines: yoke of the devil. In this work of visitation we have always sought to establish family worship, with the reading and committing to memory of scripture. In this work of revival and reformation we have had no regard for the social condition or relations of those whom we have sought to help, but only considered the spiritual destitution and need of help of those souls we would save. With the form of religion or belief of the needy ones we did not concern our selves. One great difficulty with our fellow pastors is a feeling of alienation on the part of those who should be their friends. Much of our time was spent in visiting the homes of those who were at variance with the pastor, and at variance among themselves, seeking to make peace and to soften the hard and unloving hearts. This was the hardest and most trying of all the work that we did —the effort to restore peace and love between friends and acquaintances— and one which we count as of the greatest importance to the advancement of the Hawaiian churches. Among the difficulties we met were the unpaid debts of churches to their treasurers for the salaries of their pastors and evangelists, and also for their contributions due to the Hawaiian Board. We sought to cancel these debts by direct exhortation on giving, and by musical concerts led by our young men, all the .proceeds of which were devoted to aiding the needy churches. The efforts to arouse by means of singing concerts, half of the time being devoted to reconciliation and friendly intercourse, and also the work of our stout hearted young people in Sabbath schools, were successful. The greatest difficulties of the churches in which your committee has labored arise from the misconceptions of the people in regard to heathen worship and sorcery. In dealing with this heathen worship your committee went boldly into the homes of some who were bound with this chain of the Devil—some who were greatly feared by their neighbors as ieaders in these heathen incantations. Going into their own homes and the homes of their dupes we expounded the folly and uselessness of such worship, and we preached to them of Jesus and his wondrous love, the way of life by the cross through faith in Jesus the Saviour. For the suppression of promiscuous illicit living the Committtee went into the homes of those who were thus living, conversing with loving heart, showing to the erring ones the condition of degredation and pollution in which they dwelt, and showing to them that such life is contrary to the laws of God. Ist. Y\'e have preached publicly upon the evils of the use of intoxicating drinks, '.'nd. We have met personally with those given to the vice; have gone to their homes, prayed with them before God, and have plead with them to give up strong drink. But fruits—results, are what we want to see. Ist. All opened to us their homes for us to enter, and they opened to us their hearts. 2nd. In our meetings of religious assembly for prayer and reformation, many friends stood forth and confessed their sins. And so also in their homes. Some of these will become pillars of righteousness. Let us pray to establish them in every good purpose. 3rd. The financial straits of pastors and evangelists have been relieved, and somu churches have forwarded their contributions to the Hawaiian Board. 4th. The alienations between brethren were healed; quarrels of years standing have been ended, and loving intercourse has by the grace of God followed. r >th. The revival efforts have been • successful as shown by the concerts for singing and Christian intercourse. In attendance at these meetings are some who for many years had been living in promiscuous sin, but who now attend the services of God's house. Some of these testify that the attendance upon the house of God is the road to purity of body and soul, and that removal from the house of God is the road of the devil, leading to unspeakable filth and pollution of body and soul. 6th. One who is I government officer and who has been a devotee of awa and strong drinks, has come boldly out, acknowledging his sin and declaring that he is no longer to be a follower of strong drink :md a dupe of the heathen priest, but that henceforward he is on the Lord's side. We must abbreviate the remainder of the Committee's report. Another says before a large congregation: "Companions of the days that are past, my door is shut against any of you who may bring the rum bottle to my house; but the door is wide open to all who come with any good purpose. My home shall no longer be the abode of drunkenness. Fray for me and my household." Still another who has been a heathen sorcerer says:"I have lived in darkness in the days that aie past; now I see the light; Jesus is the Light." Two couples who had been living together have now been married; and two others not lawfully united have separated. Two households have established family worship and are examples in this respect for others to follow. �48 June 1896.

Mrs. Dillingham who has been Treasurer for the entire period, stated that during that time $20,926.10 had been raised, and $20,758.89 disbursed. Mrs. S. E. Bishop, Recording Secretary, reported five life members and sixty-two annual as enrolled at the first meeting. There are now on the list 267 life members. The work til the Society is for Hawaiians, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese. The free kindergartens inaugurated by this board, have passed under a separate organization. After 18 years of service, Mrs. Bishop retires from duty as Secretary, at the age of seventy, with many commendatory acknowledgments of.good service. Mrs. (i. P. Andrews assumes that post of labor. After a social hour at lunch with many guests, work was resumed in the afternoon. A paper of reminiscences by Miss Chamberlain, was read. It was told how at a large missionary meeting at Fort Street Church. Mrs. Snow of Kusale was graciously permitted, as a great concession, to talk from the pulpit steps! Surely woman has gone up since then. "Mother Rice read an account of Mrs. Parker early missionary days. and Mrs. Cooke were too feeble to attend, but sent loving greetings. Mrs. S. N. Castle recalled pleasant memories in a short speech. The venerable Mrs. William Gulick was the most aged member present. On the evening of Wednesday, Juna 4, in the audience room of Central Union Church was held an enthusiastic meeting of delegates from the various branches of the Y. P. S. C. E. in these islands.

Sunday School Reunion. The Oahu Sunday Schools held annual reunion June 6th at Kawaiahao Church. The church was crowded. Many hymns were sung by different schools, and stirring speeches made by Messrs. Waterhouse, Rickards, Desha, Kapu, and Timoteo, after which a grand luiiit was enjoyed by all hands under a broad lanai in the yard. It was pronounced one or the must successful celebrations of the kind. Maunaolu Semi-Jubilee.

The exercises closed with a grand luau at 2 ■>, m. The present seminary building, or rather a part of it, was opened in June 1871. It was organized under trustees. For fifteen years previous, a smaller institution had been conducted on the same site, latterly by Miss Mary E. Green. The former building was destroyed by fire in 1871. Miss Grain soon after took charge of a Female Seminary at Waialua, Oahu. Kauai Industrial Schhool. This valuable school has led a struggling yet most useful life for many yearsi sustained by the devoted labors of children of the late Key J. W.

Most worthily the Hawaiian Board havethis year appropriated $500 in aid of this excellent school. The Rev. C. W. Hill.

The above instructions go somewhat farther than those of any other mission iry society, and, as we have seen, en beyond the practice of St. Paul maelf. All missionary societies, how1 agree on this point, tbat they t (far, strongly deprecate, if they do not forbid, v appeal by individual missionaries to their home governments. Whenever such appeal is necessary, it is generally .ii.tde by the Directors of the Society to the State Department of thei.i own government. This does not at all lessen the duty oi a government to protect the lights of its citizens abroad. When, as in Turkey, Christian missions have been established with the full consent ot the government of that country, when their rights have been guaranteed by solemn treaties, when tiieir colleges and hospitals have been i uilt under the official sanction of the same government, every consideration n national honor and of humanity calls I then protection from insult and c rcumstances must h I own responsibility : • . i tssacrs. Again when in violation of official promises, the American missionaries W ie expelled by the Spaniards from the island of Bonabe, and their property d stroved, it was right that their governn nt should exact indemnity from Spain fm the outrage. So in the New Hebrides, if the British government had from the first shown the cannibals of Tanna and Eromanga that it could and would p otect its citizens, many valuable lives n lght have been saved, and thirty years g.uned for the cause of Christianity and i ilization in those islands. In regard to the relations which a missionary may sustain to foreign gove amenta, the Church Missionary Society has published the following excellent rules "Every missionary is strictly charged to abstain from interfering in the political affairs of the country or place in which he may be laboring * * * * Never assume a position of hostility to the ruling powers * * * * Stand aloof from all questions of political It idersihp and political partisanship * Tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor." Yet, as the Apostles told their per"We ought to obey God secutors rather than men," and "rejoiced that : : �they were counted worthy to suffer I il his name," so in many countries tie pioneers Of the Gospel have had to encounter the hostility of the liual governments. The first Protestant work in Jap"i was carried on m quiet disregard of unrepealed laws, proclamations a. I The same thing has lm been done in Corea, where sever I Catholic missionaries have sutler.

At fin t, the Moslem looked on in COntetnptUC l indifference, but when the Turkish gi ernment began to realize the effect ! their work in elevating the Christian races ol th.U empire, its policy WIS changed from one of neutrality to actual persecution. At first it resorted to evt y possible pretext to evade its engag ments, to close up schools, to stop prii ing presses and to imprison native ; but now it is proceeding to exterminate a whole nation, before the eyes ol Christian Europe, and, as it seems, with the consent and backing of Russia. The legal position of the missionary in China is similar to that of his brethren in Turkey, but there the central government has not been actively hostile. In fact the Chinese government is tar more tolerant than that of certain South American republics or than that ol Russia, which absolutely forbids any subject to change his religion, unless he becomes a member of the State Church. So Ear we have considered the missionary's relations to such governments as are more or less unfriendly to his work. But, on the other hand, when the ruling powers are friendly, the missionary is confronted by snares and preachers . temptations of a different charactt Ever smce the time of Constantino, the alliance of Church and State lias been deadly to spiritual religion. It is not necessary, nor have we time to dwell on the failings in this respect ot Roman Catholic missions in America, m Congo, in Ceylon and in China and | ipan. The results should serve as a warning to Protestant missions. The Protestant government of Holland once tried the experiment in Ceylon, requiring assent to us church creed as a condition of appointment to office: It has left the opprobrious epithet ol "Government Christian" M a warning against all similar attempts to combine the service of God and Mammon. At the present tune, certain European powers are eager to offer such alliance to missions. France, especially, has long sought to advance her schemes of territorial aggrandizement by claiming to be the great protector of Christian missions. In China, for political reasons, nhe hat claimed to be the patron of all Roman Catholic missions of whatever nationality. During the reign of Louis Philippe this line of policy was actively pursued in the Pacific ocean, and its effects were felt not only in these islands, but also in Tahiti, the Marquesas and Tonquin. Not long ago the cross of the Legion of Honor was conferred upon M. Catalis, a veteran French Protestant missionary, for "extending the influence of France in Basutoland," in South Africa. Germany too is suffering from the colonial fever, or "Earth-hunger," and favors German missions, because it is believed that even if its missionaries do not succeed in Christianizing the heathen, they may be used to Germanize them to some extent. For the same reason each of these powers seeks to excludt from its colonies all missionaries of other nationalities. Thus Germany in 1886 expelled the English Baptist missionaries from the Cameroons in west Africa and filled their place with German missionaries from Basle. In the same region, France always has interfered with the American Presbyterian Mission on the Gaboon river, by ordering that the French language be used in all the schools to the exclusion not only of English but even of the native language. One of the most flagrant examples of this baneful policy oocurred in 1887 in one of the Loyalty Islands near New Caledonia. In that group of Islands the London Missionary Society had labored so successfully that "the whole of the people, formerly savage cannibals, had embraced Christianity. There were self-supporting churches with 3000 members. There was but one foreign missionary there with 40 native pastors." Then, as Rev. John Jones wrote: "I, the only English missionary on the island, while revising the Mare Scriptures, was expelled by the French Government, at half an hours' notice, from the island where I had labored for more than 34 years. Since then the Government has introduced French missionaries, and treats as rebels those native Christians who refuse to attend the State Church. It is much to be feared that a similar policy will ultimately be followed in Madagascar, and that the English missionaries, who have done such a giand work for Christ on that island, will in time be forced to leave the field. In justice, however, to the French government, it should be added that the conduct of General Duchesne and of the Minister-Resident, M. Laroche, who is a Protestant Christian, has been all that could have been desired. The English missionaries there seem to have shown great prudence and tact in the difficult position in which they have been placed. During the late civil war in Uganda, the missionaries of the Church Missionary Society wisely stood aloof, and refused to give their aid to King Mwanga against his rivals. Lord Salisbury in 1888 gave notice that he would not interfere in behalf of missionaries in Africa outside of the sphere of British influence. Another class of perplexing questions arises where the missionary is appealed to by native converts to assist them in maintaining their legal rights in the courts. The expectation of such aid and protection is most damaging to the sincerity of new converts. It is also most injurious to the missionary himself, by filling up his time and thoughts with secular matters, lawsuits, appeals, and the like. This temptation is particularly strong in India, where English law has modified many customs in favor of humanity and religious freedom. When Christians in that country are persecuted by their heathen neighbors, who try to deprive them of their legal rights, such as the right to take water from the public wells, and to rob them of their lands, it is quite natural that they should apply to the missionary for advice and help. �THE FRIEND. 52 Bat many of the wisest and best of our missionaries are of opinion that the safest courae is to observe a strict neutrality in all political and civil matters. The missionary is the ambassador of the King of Kings. He is the herald of the Prince of Peace. He betrays and lowers his high calling if he allows himself to be entangled with wordly schemes. Our Lord, when He was tempted by the devil in the wilderness, set an example for his followers in all ages, whenever they may be tempted to endeavor to hasten the triumph of His kingdom by the use of unworthy and worldly means. As the old prophet said: "Not by might, not by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord." As our Saviour said: "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation." Its progress is not to be measured by outward and visible results. Like his Master, the missionary does not attack the "powers that be," however corrupt and tyrannical they may be. But he preaches righteousness, temperance and justice. He tells men of the common Fatherhood of God and the common Brotherhood of man, and of a judgment at which all wrongs will be righted. The leaven of truth cannot fail to work. The Gospel of Love is mightier than fleets and armies. Under its beneficent influence slavery and judicial torture have disappeared from Europe and Serfdom from Hawaii nei; arbitration is beginning to take the place of war, and in God's good time earthly governments will cease to be engines of greed and oppression, and will begin to reflect in some faint degree the justice and benevo lence of the Divine Government. Palama Chapel Dedicated. Formal dedicatory services were held on Monday evening June Ist, in the new and commodious chapel at the foot of Liliha Street. Mr. P. C. Jones the donor, delivered the keys to the Pastor of Central Union Church, after which Pastor Birnie read the dedicatory sentences, and a dedicatory prayer was offered. Mr. Birnie then sketched the work which it was hoped to carry on in connection with the chapel. Among things planned, were social gatherings, mothers' meetings and boys' clubs. Since the dedication, Sunday evening preaching services have been held, as well as a morning Sunday School under the superintendence of Mr. Corbett. Also Friday evening prayer meetings. All these services have been well attended. The outlook for faithful work seems promising. New Church for Lahaina. It ia a satisfaction to learn that chiefly through the gift of Hon. Henry P. Baldwin, a new and elegant church is soon to be erected at Lahaina, on the site of the oid church which was destroyed by fireabout two years ago. The walls and tower will be constructed from The the stone of the old building. dimensions will be much smaller, as adapted to the present greatly diminished population. The old building was the first stone church in the islands, erected by the royal chiefs in 1830, under the pastorate of Rev. William Richards, whose successor in 1836 was the Rev. Dwight Baldwin, M.D., continuing Missionary Pastor for thirty years, and for whom the new edifice will be called The Baldwin Memorial Church. Commencement at Oahu College.

An Act was passed, and went into effect in April, ordering the registration of every male in these islands, who was over fifteen years of age, with full description of his person, and with his thumb-mark. The special object ofthe law was to enable the Government properly to handle and control the 35,000 Asiatic immigrants. The law bad been loudly demanded in the interest ol white labor, and had been prominent in the election platforms. On putting the law into operation, an unexpected hostile clamor began to arise and to increase Many honorable citizens declared the thumb-mark an indignity, and any registration a measure characterizing despotic government. The Portuguese were stirred up to oppose it as a measure in the interest The natives were of" the planters. taught that it was a scheme to compel them to swear to support the Government, and became much excited about it.

The "Morning Star," and What She Means. This remarkable little bark, after being on the dock For examination of her copper and for some slight repairs, and laying at the Nuuanu Street wharf for a few days, sailed or steamed nut of the harbor tor her fourteenth voyage to Micronesia, on Monday the 22nd ul |une. In our Island world the event of the Sailing ol ships of note and of companies ■ii adistinguished manner in as 55 THE FRIEND passengers is observed unique. Just such a scene that of the sailing of the Australia foi .San Francisco, from tht Oceanic dock, or of the China from the Pacific Mail wharf, cannot he paralleled in any port of the world. The one or two thousand well dressed people on 'ie wharf, the departing passengers at the bulwarks, laden by then friends with wreaths upon their hats and around their necks, the grand band upon the wharf with its heavy drum thundering forth its noisy good bye, or in sweeter strains of "AuUl Lang Syne" calling to mind the days of long compasionship, all presents a picture that once seen, can nevei he forgotten. All life in Hawaii is a picnic, and the crowning picnic though not always the happiest, is the day of sailing away. The exercises held on the deck of the Morning Star on the eve of her departure, though not so noisy, were no less interesting than the parting celebration of larger ships. The friends of the missionary work in Micronesia, of which the Morning Star is the tangible representative, were out in numbers, to bid Mrs. Logan godspeed on her return to Ruk. to the scenes of the pioneer labors of herself and her lamented husband, and to wish Capt. Garland and his ship's company a speedy, safe, and happy voyage. And what was the bark laden with ? In the first place she had 200 tons of coal, to furnish the steam power to be used chiefly during calms and in entering and leaving the many harbors of the lagoon-island seas of Micionesia. For cargo she may be said to have almost everything useful to civilized man, from whetstones and jack knives, to bibles and hymn hooks in several languages; lumber, water casks, tanks, tools, bread stuffs, kitchen and other furniture, and largely groceries and family supplies. In one respect her cargo is totally different from that of most trading vessels that visit the islands of the Pacific. She carries no strong drinks and no tobacco. There is still another feature in which the Morning Star differs wholly from any other vessel that sails the Pacific seas. She is not permitted to touch at any port of Ponape or to have any communication with the inhabitants of that The people ot Ponape owe more i island. of their present degree of civilization and happiness to this Morning Star, and to those whom she bore to their shores, than to any other caise in the world. Hut ihe is to day the only vessel in the world thus barred out of Ponape by the newly come Spanish rulers of that island. Mrs. Logan makes one more return to Ruk, the held of her early service. She will earn- inspiration and cheer lo the toilers among those still benighted islanders. Isesides this earnest missionary, three voting men sent out b\ tin I'eniel Mis sionary Society ol Los Angeles, Mr. Robert Anderson, Mr. L Skumfelt and Mr. Scribner, go for service in the Gilbert Islands. Mr Anderson went to the group a year ago, with Key. Capt, Walkup in the schooner Hiram Bingham. Returning in the Morning Star" this Spring, be now goes out D tain with two earnest and very interesting young men to help him in the good woi k ol teaching the Gilbert Islanders the way of life and salvation through the crucified one. Annual Meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. The Association representative of the native Hawaiian Churches, and in a measure of all the Congregational Churches in the land, met this year in Kawaiahao Church, its sessions commencing Tuesday, June 2nd, and closing Tuesday, June 'Jth. It was a more full meeting than some, of the later years, there being present .')(! pastors and eighteen delegates from the 55 native Evangelical churches. Early in the session greetings from the several foreign churches were received, as follows: From Rev. C. VV. Hill of the Hilo Foreign Church; from Rev. Mr. Birnie and Hon. A. P. Judd representing Central Union Church of Honolulu; from Key. K. K. Baptist of the Portuguese Protestant Church of Hilo; from Rev. A. Y. Soares of the Portuguese Church of Honolulu; from Rev. J. Oyabe representing the Japanese mission workers of the Hawaiian Board; and from Mr. F. W. Damon and Mr. Lung representing the Chinese work. The report of Mr. W. W. Hall, Treasurer of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association showed the receipts of the year to have been $27,172.52, whilethe expenditures have been $26,379.99, leaving a balance in th eTreasury of $792.53. A tic ii of $1,000 has been paid off during the year, leavingthe finances in a very good condition for the advance ot another year. The Acting-Corresponding Seoretary, Mr. (). H. Gulick, made the usual report of the general conditions of the work under the auspices of the Hawaiian Board. Key. O. P. Emerson now absent, was re elected Col responding Secretary, and Mr. VV. VV. Hall Treasurer of the Board. The annual examination of the students of the North Pacific Missionary Institute was conducted before the Association, under the lead of Dr. Hyde and Key. J. Leadingham. The pastors take a lively interest in this school from which the most of their own number have themselves graduated in past years. Among these graduates has been one Gilbert Islander who while the successful and beloved pastor of the Kekaha Church, Kona, Hawaii, died two years since; another is the Key. Joseph Aiu a full blooded Chinaman, brought up upon these islands, and whose language is the native Hawaiian, rather than Chinese. One of the most interesting of the present class of students is a Chinaman who under the inspiration of Mr Damon, and the instruction of the teachers, is fitting himself for the ministry of the word to his countrymen on these islands. Among the matters of interest discussed was the drink question, in regard to which it was voted that the evils of the use ofawa, and of spirituous liquors, be the subject of sermons on the first Sundays in March and September. Another subject was the support of weak churches, for which it is hoped that an Emergency fund may be raised. The questions of the marriage of lepers, of the lapsed charters ofchurches, and of the doings of the kahunas or heathen sorcerers, and of Sabbath observance occupied much attention. Key. M. Lutera, a returned missionary from the Gilbert Islands, who during the past year has misled some, and made trouble in some churches by professed power of prophesy, was disposed from the Gospel ministry by the unanimous action of the body. Honolulu Kindergartens. Another successful year of work in the Free Kindergartens has closed. The average of attendance has been higher the l?st of the year than it was the first, c has been a marked improveanH 'he deportment of the pupils. -11 Five ing women from Kawaiahao Seminary assist in the different kindergartens, and we rejoice in this new sphere of labor opening before the Hawaiian maidens. A training teacher from Chicago has been secured for next year, and we hope many will be found to avail themselves of the opportunity of fitting for kindergarten teachers. �56 THE FRIEND. Miss Ozawa after a few years of faithful work has resigned from the Japanese Kindergarten, and a Japanese lady hasbeen sent for, .to take her place. The Hawaiian Kindergarten also loses its excellent teacher. Some one will be found to take her place before the schools open in the Fall, and we hope that next September, full schools of bright children will greet enthusiastic teachers for another year of work. Testimony of Minister Wiilis. Since IL S. Minister A. S. Willis came to Honolulu originally to overturn the Republic and restore the Quean, his present favorable opinion of the Republic of Hawaii is of much interest, and should go far with the American people. For a representative of the Evening Star of Washington City he said •T could not desire more cordiality and manifestation of friendly feeling than 1 have received from both the citizens and the Government of Hawaii. Everything is peaceful, beautiful, tie. lightful on the Islands. The Legislature was about closing up its work when I left, and they accomplished several The immigration important things. question and a number of other question! are of great importance, but the Government has manifested wisdom and capacity in dealing with the questions as they arise. The Islands are enjoying a period of phenomenal prosperity and the people seem contented. There is no talk and apparently no thought of revolution or disorder. When people have money in their pockets and plenty to eat they are not apt to be discontented and to grumble. The immense crops and the high price of sugar have made money abundant." "Is there any talk of the restoration of (jueen Liliuokalani ?" "None whatever. There is no talk and apparently no thought of the restoration of the Cjueen. To show how far this is from the public mind, the Government lias granted a pension of $2,000 a year to Kaiulani, the heiress of Liliuokalani. Undoubtedly a suitable pension would have been provided for Liliuokalani but for the revolution, in which it appeared that she was very much involved. No, there does not appear to be any dissatisfaction with the present Government, or thought of its : overthrow. "Is there anything in the talk indulged in some time ago about danger to the Government?" "I think not. The Japanese partici- pate in the general prosperity of the country, and are therefore contented, as are the people. As long as this prosperity continues there is not apt to be any complaint of the Government, and it is likely to last long enough for the Government to be so well established as to maintain itself in the presence of any hard times or disasters that may come along in the course of events. Republican Planks of Interest to Hawaii. Two declarations in the Republican platform adopted at St. Louis, are of especial interest to Hawaii. One is that •'The Nicaragua Canal should be built, owned and operated by the United States." So strong a Nicaragua policy forecasts an early completion of that long delayed enterprise, which must very greatly affect the Commercial activity of the Pacific and of Hawaii. The other declaration is that "I In: Hawaiian Islands should be controlled by the United States, and no foreign power should be permitted to interfere with them." Opponents of annexation point to this expression as showing that the Republican Party propose to go no I,other than to give Hawaii some sort of a Protectorate, without admitting us lo the privileges of a member of the Union. On the other hand, the advocates of Annexation believe that the terms used merely indicate a judicious reserve, and that an intention to annex Hawaii can be read between the lines. In the meantime, by its orderly, capable and prosperous administration of its affairs, Hawaii is nobly proving its fitness to become a member of the American Union. Tidal Wave in Kona, Hawaii. A series of Tidal Waves of considerable destructive force visited the whole west coast of the island of Hawaii on the morning of Ibth, doing much damage to property at the various landings. The action of the waves began at Ka waihae at 8:10 a. m. demolishing the wharf. It proceeded down the coast. striking Kailua at X.M) a. m., where the third and highest wave at 9 a. m. flooded the lower floor of Miss Pans hotel, and carried all lumber piles into the bay. After damaging various wharves and landings on that coast, especially at Keauhou, Kealakekua bay, and Hookena, the tidal wave rounded the south point, striking the Kau landings at 9:40 \. m., Hilo was but doing slight damage. reaahed at ltf a. m., the water rising only eight feet. In bays on the Kona coast the sea hnd reached points twenty and thirty feet above sea level. The tides continued to come in all day at half hour intervals of ebb and flow. Our Honolulu tide-gauge records fourteer. small tidal waves of about one foot in height, lasting from 7 a. m. to 2 p. m. At the narrow head of the harbor there was an alarming succession of deep ebbs and flows, laying bare the mud flats and stranding fish. The present European population of New Zealand is 703,000, an incrense of 12 per cent, in five years. The largest rate of increase is in the district of Wellingtonf over 24 per cent. Both in its climate, and in the quality of its population, New Zealand is the gem of the Southern Hemisphere. O. R. & JL. CO. Trains run between Honolulu. I'earl City, Ewa iikl Waianae Plantations.

It is not probable that either the Government or a newspaper corporation can afford to dispense with the moral support of the Christian people of Hawaii. But of far greater importance to us is the Divine favor. With God's blessing, which has for so many years encompassed Hawaii with a Divine protection, our little country is strong and safe. Let us see to it that we do not forfeit that blessing by discarding God's Holy Day. We need beware of letting ourselves down to the moral and political degradation of New Orleans and San Francisco, cities without a proper Sabbath, and consequently given over to political misrule.

', Miss Marcia Maria Smith. By Rev. O. H. Gulick. In The Advance of Chicago, July 9th, we find a notice of the death on the 27th of June, at Dover, 111., at the age of 90 years, of this estimable christian lady, who was a missionary and teacher in these islands for fifteen years, from 1837 to 1852. She was first stationed at Kaneohe on this island, as a teacher and later was a teacher of the children of missionaries, in Honolulu, Lahainaluna, on Hawaii and at Koloa, Kauai. But when Punahou School was organized in 1842, she was associated with Rev. and Mrs. Dole in the conduct of the school and continued there as a teacher for eleven years, till her return to the States in 1863. At Punahou, she was what in modern language would be styled the matron. To the parents resident on the other islands, orat other stations, the character of the one who should especially look after the well being and the conduct of the children boarders, was a matter ot vital interest. 57 Number 8 The faith and trust that these discreet fathers and mothers exercised in Miss Smith, was not misplaced. Her constant vigilance and untiring industry in the service of children committed to her care, had no rival. She believed in that ancient, and, in some families, obsolete command. "Children obey your parents;" and counted the command as equally binding when parents committed their power to a teacher. With her, order was heaven's first law, and for lawless boys the situation on the green trunk in her bedroom was one for much serious reflection. At home it might have been an era of go as you please, but once a boarder in Punahou and the youth found himself under a reign of law and order, under a system of rules established with a power behind them, and that power conscientiously exercised for the highest good of the pupils It is seldom that a missionary after spending fifteen years in a foreign field teturns to spend 44 years in the home land. Fifteen years ago, the writer, one of her earlier scholars, visited Miss Smith at her home in Dover. Her memory of old Punahou days was bright, and she was following with deep and loving interest the life recorded of those older Punahou boys whom she had known and taught. In coming to these islands in 1837 Miss Marcia Smith was accompanied by her sister, Miss Lucia, who later became the wife of Rev. Lorenzo Lyons of Waimea, Hawaii, the sweet singer of Hawaii's Israel. There are to-day about forty mission children living upon these islands, of fifty years ot age, and upwards, whose memory reaches back to the Punahou of of early days and to Miss Smith. The painful news has come of the sudden death of our beloved and honored brother, the Rev. E. P. Baker, formerly for many years pastor of tbe Foreign Church of Hilo. Mr. Baker was crossing on a bifycle a small bridge over a chasm near Santa Cruz, California, and rode off the side of the bridge. His body was found in the bottom of the chasm seventy-five feet below. Mr. Baker was a preacher of fervor and active thought. He was an ardent student of volcanic phenomena, and made repeated solitary trips to the summit of Mauna Loa, being inured to the hardship and privation of such journeys. He was 65 years of age. �THK FRIEND 58 REV. ELIAS BOND, D.D. A Memorial Sketch by Rev. C. M. Hvde. D.D. Very few of the missionaries senl to these Islands by the American Board have shown more force ol character or exerted a wider personal influence in the pioneer period ol the development of the country than Rev. Ettas Bond Born in Hallowell, Me., Aug. IS, 1813, of godly linglish parents, his parents' interest in the spread of the gospel, at home and abroad, was one of the formative influences of his boyhood. Every Sunday morning the little box, with two slots in the cover, one for foreign missions, and one for domestic charities, was brought out to receive the contributions of every one in the family. 'Ihe children were expected to contribute ol their earnings. Picking up rope around the wharves, or running errands, were the chief resources for the boy. Money was not abundant mi those days, nor was there much variety of occupation. Carrying two miles as large a bundle of wool as he could shoulder, the boy would be paid three cents. One day his teacher rewarded him with a four-pence ha'penny for proficiency in memorizing Lindley Murray's Compendium. Boylike he hesitated for a 1. ng time how to spend it to the best advantage. His mother advised him to put it in the box for foreign missions. He demurred against disposing of the money in th.tt way, for he would never see it again: and he preferred spending half of it tor candy, and half of it for powder, using as a cannon an old pistol ban el he hail picked up somewheie. Saturday night came and he was still undecided. His mother strongly urged giving it to the Lord, and finally clinched her arguments, and enforced her persuasions, with the promise, that if he gave it to foreign missions, and he was ever afterwards without a cent in his pocket, she would give him herself a four pence ha' penny. He accepted her generous proposal. Weeks went by, but somehow he always had his cent for the Sunday contribution. There came one Saturday night, however, when nothing had been earned, and he was preparing to demand of his mother the fulfilment of her pledge, when there came a knock at the door. A neighbor came in to ask Blias to run down to the village store for her, and pay him three cents. The incident was so strange an interposition to prevent the forfeiture of his mother's pledge, that the boy learned a lesson of hopefulness and trust in any extremity The Sunday gift box was at Mr. Bond's request in these later years sent to him as a treasured keepsake. Thriftiness was as marked a trait from that time onward, as faith that was willing to trust God for any needed help. In 1848 only a tew years after receiving [August, 1896 Board, he arose in the General Meeting Hawaii, accompanied the new missionaries to help initiate them in their work. The party landed near Mahukona, and while Mis. Bond was carried in I manele, the otheis walked the twelve miles In.in the landing to the Mission Station. There was no road, only a trail, and when they ai nved late Saturday night there was nothing for them to eat but what little was left in their lunch basket. A plot of eight acres of land had been given to the Mission by Gov Kuakini, and a grass house had been built.

While waiting for the completion of the building, services were held in the large sugar sheds that had been put up by Aiko and Hspai, two Chinamen, who had contracted with Gov. Kuakini to manufacture sugar, on being allowed a certain amount of land for their canefields. The new missionary had arrived jusi after the revival scenes ol 1837 39. His earnestness had its effect on the people, and in three months' time inquirers flocked to the meeting house and to the pastor's study. They would come from miles away, and sit patiently till their time came for a pei son.tl interview and to tell their mauao, some new idea that had got into their minds. They wen always sure of a sympathetic listener, and of sensible advice. In April, 1842, 98 were received into the Church. In January, 1843, there had been 2,aim inquirers, but of these only 300 had been received into the Church. Religion, as Father Bond lived it, was no rapturous uplift into a mystical higher life, nor a sentimental effusiveness of attachment to the Supreme Father and Lord. Faith in the need of a Divine Redeemer from sin was fundamental, and the outward manifestation was doing the will ofGod the Father in the Spirit of Jesus Christ His Son. Yet with all the care taken in catechising and instructing and watch ing the new converts, we find in the church records under date of January 5, 1544: "f/ti pan pu mi hoalniiioit ika pit laka o me kit iiiolowa." The church members seem saturated with indifference and indolence Yet for anything material and external like the new church, they were ready to put forth all their energies. The kouo hiki would never allow his wotk to take precedence of the Lord's work, and 59 THE FRIEND in 1848, the new building was ready for occupancy. The church record chronicles the fact about thai time that there were 504 present in Sunday School. But in a fierce tornado that swept over the Whole district the roof was blown off. and eight of the- twelve windows demolished, With indomitable pluck. the work of repair was begun and carried on by the people, they voting under the enthusiasm aroused by their pastor's appeal to do the work themselves without asking any outside aid. Bui the missionary in these days must look aftei the bodies as well as the souls of men. Filthy habits of living made skin diseases common, and pound after pound of sulphur and lard was most liberally used before any satisfactory degree ol cl< injinesa was reached. It was a long time before the Sunday congregations had learned the proprieties of behavior in a public assembly. The missionary's own premises were always a model of neatness and orderliness. Besides his purely missionary labors, he was called upon to serve the community in other public functions. As supervisor of roads, he planned and built the highways that traverse- the district. As postmaster, he had charge of the mail service, until it grew too unwieldy for him to manage in connection with all his other duties. As school agent, he had the care of the schools and school houses throughout the district, the employment of teachers and arrangements for pay and residence. When the change in tile tenure of land was made and the distribution of all the land in the country made in severalty, he was appointed land agent. It was no small task to persuade the improvident easy going Hawaiians to make application for the lands to which they were- entitled. It was still more difficult to persuade many to earn money enough to buy the lands thai the government w»a selling.at one dollar an acre. For his services in surveying land, he received pay from the government, (not from the natives), and to was enabled to invest in government land. Kamehameha 111. in just recognition of his services for the welfare of the community, gave him personally the land ol lole. near the Mission premises. As business increased at the Islands, and Honolulu, the capital city, with its varied and novel attractions was draw ing the people away from the country, Mr. Bond tried to keep the natives at home and furnish them employment by starting a sugar plantation. He turned over his lands to the company, which he persuaded some of his friends to organize But imperfect machinery and insufficient knowledge made the venture unprolita hie. For twelve years the only dividend was one barrel oi sugar to each ol the partners. 'Pons of sticky sugar were run to waste into the sea. After the period of tiial and failure had passed, the reciprocity treaty was arranged, just as the business began to be profitable. Mr. Bond's share of the proceeds was largely distributed to objects of benevolence at the close of each year, with conscientious exactitudethousands of dollars at a time, yet often the gifts anticipated the income of the subsequent year. Such is a brief record of the life and work of one of the successful and honored laborers of the American Mission. Yet there have been and are still in this community, those unworthy the name of men —who have hounded this faithful, public spirited, self denying, self sacrificing missionary as a greedy land-grabber, robbing the natives of their possessions, a mercenary paid agent of a foreign missionary society. If men are to be judged by what they have done, the good which Father Bond has accomplished will be a lasting memorial to his honor, and sufficient refutation of such malignant scandal. But in his humility and modesty, very little has he ever said ol himself and his work. Laid aside from active work for the last twelve years by the infirmities of age, deafness and rheumatic pains, his life prolonged largely by the assiduous care of a devoted daughter, he has borne his sufferings with uncomplaining fortitude. "I know not why it is that lam kept here a burden to my family, existence itself a burden: but it is all right. I have often asked the Lord to take me home, ami many times rejoiced to think that the end had come. But lam ready to wait, even though it be a sorer trial of faith than the hardships of pioneer life. I long tor the coming change, for the new life and the new service, blessed, joyous, with no sin to mar, no infirmity I to hinder, and no fear of either. have no litr.ess for it, I know, other than the mtrcy of God in Christ: but that mercy is promised to every believer; and I know that I trust Christ's forgiving grace, as surely as I did my mother's love." As a preacher, Father Bond was instructive and persuasive; the clearness of his statements in regard to truth and duty was enough to disarm prejudice and refute disbelief. As a pastor, he was watchful over every one under his care, following them with advice or warning, if ever they seemed inclined to stray, never vindictive in dealing with offenders whom reason and love could influence. As a citizen, few residents at the islands have lived up to the full measure of their ability and opportunity as did he. As a leader in the counsels of the mission, he was one whom it was always safe to follow, never rashly impetuous, never timidly conservative, always judicious, always incisive. His wife, who had shared the struggles and privations of the pioneer missionary work, died May 12, 1881. Eight children survive, Mrs. lillen Bond Bicknell, of Honolulu; E. C. Bond, Dr. B. D.
