Instead of the Gospel of Christ, Romish priests teach the efficacy of Sacraments, the Authority of the Church, the Worship of Mary and the Saints, and the power of the Priest. The Religion they impart is a mixture of Christianity and Paganism, the latter predominating through an external and half heathenish ritual, which keeps the convert back in the old darkness, and leaves him without the soul-cleansing light ot the Redeemer. While crediting the Catholic priests with the greatest enterprise and devotion in many of their missions, it must be said that then present undertaking in the Gilbert Islands, in endeavoring to destroy the victory gained by Protestant missionaries, after forty years of pioneer labor, is a most unworthy one. The Roman Catholics have waited for thirty-five years until those 30,000 ferocious savages have been taught and trained in the rudiments of civilization and Christianity, and the painful and dangerous part of the work is completed. They have waited until British governors have disarmed and pacified the unruly savage remnant. Now when all is safe and peaceful, and danger is at an end, these French priests intrude in strong force to wrest for their church the fruits of the forty years toil and peril of Protestants ! They do not come there as friends to help on the Gospel, and further the good work begun. Their corps of capable and self-sacrificing Sisters might render immense aid in that way. But they come as avowed enemies, with deadly hostility to the Protestant religion, which is absolutely prohibited and suppressed to this day in every country where Catholic priests control the Government. That apostate church of Rome has never known any compromise or coopeiation with other Christians who deny the authority of the Roman Church and Pope. It is their persistent, deadly, unrelenting enemy. Will this always continue so? As long as this relentlessly hostile attitude of Rome lasts, Gospel Christians and missionaries can only labor and pray in an attitude ol defense against this formidable enemy who claims to be God's vicegerent on earth. We would like to live in amity with these priests, many whom are pious and amiable men. But they are slaves to an over-mastering system of spiritual usurpation which forbids them to treat us as other than foes. God will set this all right in His own good time. �THE FRIEND 66 Mrs. Juliette Montague Cooke. 11l Mtinoiiiiin In the preparation of this ai tide, espe- cial aid has been received from memorial papers prepared for the Woman's Board by Mrs. Mary S. Rice, and by Mrs. L. B. Coan. The subject of this memorial was surpassed by few of the many most choice and noble women of the Hawaiian Mis sionary circle either in mental ability and culture, in personal refinement and social gifts, or in the more essential qualities of deeply sanctified piety, and devotion to the work of winning and upbuilding souls in Christ Jesus. It may also be said that no other woman so deeply identified herself with Hawaiian history as this capable and greatly be loved and influential educator of six of those young royal chiefs who afterwards sat upon the throne of Hawaii. To the profound and lasting influence which she exercised upon their very peculiar dispo sitions and characters, may largely be attributed such moderation ofconduct as enabled them to maintain in successful operation a native monarchy for so long a period under the severe and pressing exigencies of modern commercial enterprise, in close contact with which all other aboriginal monarchies have speedily crumbled. Mrs. Cooke is thus to be reckoned a historical person of no small prominence in the annals ofHawaii. Juliette Montague was of the highest quality of New Rngland rural lineage. She was born in Sundsrland, Mass. March 10, 181-J. "She was a bright, active, happy girl, fond of her books, her companions, and of the flowers, wild woods and hills of beautiful Sunderland, but always ready for work." She grew up one of the alert, skillful, capable New England women. By the death of her father in her sixteenth year, deprived of aid in her education, she successfully made her own way in securing special advantages in a yonng ladies academy in Amherst. She then taught the chief school in the home villege, of pupils ran ging from two and a halfyears to twentyseven. Her rich voice was prominent in the village choir. She publicly professed her laith in Christ in 18,13. Miss Montague's attention early became strongly directed to Christ's call to carry His Gospel to heathen lands. In Nov. 24,1836, she was united in marriage to Mr. Amos S. Cooke of New York City, then under appointment as an Assistant missionary to the Hawaiian Islands. They sailed from Boston, Dec. I I, 1536, in the Mary Fritz.nr, as members of that large and famous "reinforcement." Arriving at Honolulu in I Ifi days, Mr. and Mrs. Cooke were selected by the Mission out of the eight couples of Ttachers, as the pair most suitable to take charge of the education of the children of the royal chiefs, whose need of competent government and instruction their parents felt to be urgent. The selection made proved to be justified by the later results. Mr. and Mrs. Cooke gradually entered upon their arduous task. They organized a Family School for the Royal children, which continued until 1H49, when the maturing years of nearly all the pupils brought that special work to an end. The present writer is not in possession iif the materials for any adequate account ot the very difficult and trying, but skillful and successful work clone by Mr. and Mrs. Cooke in disciplining and training the wild and high spirited young natures thus entrusted to them. The very remarkable Hawaiian chief John Ii with his wife were made the Kuliits, or personal guardians of the royal children, and lived with Mr. and Mrs. Cooke in the large family. Mrs. Rice, who arrived live years later in 1841, writes. "I sometimes saw her in the school ot young chiefs, noticed the skill with which she framed pretty bonnets for the girls, instructing them in many ways. Bemice, afterwards Mrs. C. R. Bishop, a lovely little girl, so beautiful with her wonder ful curls that memory keeps it a living picture, always seemed to be near Mrs. Cooke, and well did she repay her care. The young chiefs were then a very interesting group, prominent among whom was Liholiho, afterwards Kamehameha Fourth, then bright and pleasing. He ever made a friend ot his Mother Cooke, always having something to tell her, when I chanced to be at the school. Hei patience and wisdom were a marvel to me, her gifts of song greatly increasing her influence. Their helpers, John li, and his stately wile, under the influence of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, developed the highest style of native Christian character. Many disappointments came to these teachers in the lives of their pupils; but the Lunalilo home and the Kamehameha Schools are enduring monuments of their influence over some of their pupils, and we can hope it was not in vain over others." In illustration of the evils which these teachers had to correct, the writer ventures to describe an incident witnessed in 18:5s. The Bishops embarked early in that yearfor Kauai, on a large brig owned by Governor Kaikioewa of that island. It was literarlly packed and jammed with natives, accompanying the royal Gover nor. The young Mr. and Mrs. Cooke were fellow passengers. All were on board, and the vessel, her sails set was about to be loosed from the wharf, when down came young Prince Moses, a lad of nine, the oldest son of the Premier Kinau.and brother of Lot and Alexander. Followed by a train of attendants, he demanded to be taken on board to make the voyage. Old Kaikioewa, who was his special guardian, pleaded and prayed with the angry child to desist, but little Moses stood on the wharf and literally held the vessel, stoiming and howling This lasted for fully two hours. Mrs. Cooke is remembered to have maintained her composure, amid the general annoy- ance. Moses had not then been under her charge like some of the younger ones. The distressing scene ended by a file of soldiers being sent by Gov. Kekuanaoa his father, who arrested the screaming young Prince, and bore him home, and the brig at last proceeded on her voyage. The royal children were all brought up to be absolute masters over their attendants, with every caprice indulged. In the Royal School, autho rity was quietly, but firmly established, but-with what difficulties! There being no more royal children, in 1849 the family school was closed. Mr. Cooke became associated with Mr. S. N. Castle in the large financial agency of the Mission. As that work diminished, there were subsequently joined a mercantile business under the firm name of Cfastle & Cooke, which still continues. Mr. and Mrs. Cooke continued to be active in all Christian and Church work, and their good report was known to all as Christians of rare devotion and humility. They lived in the old Mission House imported in IN2I, which is still standing at Kawaiahao. There their hospitality 1was constant to their fellow missionaries, and to many visitors. Mrs. Cooke was always a favorite in Honolulu Society, owing to her peculiar refinement and courtesy, and the geniality of her nature. She was wise in counsel. Her friends and neighbors constantly sought her advice. From the time that the Kawaiahao Female Seminary was established across the street some thirty yearsago, "its teachers found in her a ready sympathizer, an able and considerate counsellor. She had had large experience in the bringing up of native youth; she understood trials and perplexities, but advice was never thrust upon us, nor were we ever wounded by her criticism." "Mother Cooke's friendship was marked for its steadfastness. It was not one day effusive, and the next changed to cool civility. The law of kindness was on her lips, and her constant bearing was an unspoken definition of true politeness, 'kindness kindly expressed.' " The thirty years in the old mission house were years of domestic care and toil. There were four sons and three daughters born between 1838 and 1854, all of whom lived to mature years, and all gave joy to their mother's heart. "What memories her children cherish of her loveand patience, how she wrought for their welfare, cutting and making garments boys' and girls'—with her own hand in late night hours; directing them in their studies, and leading them in her own delightful way to companionship with historians and poets of the p ist and present, and carrying herself bright and cheery in spite of heavy trials and much bodily suffering." Two sons died in early manhood, but leaving children. Several children have been exceptionally prospered financially. — �THE FRIEND Vol. 54, No. 9.] 67 On my return to Oahu in 1853, few which he is incapable of commanding natives were seen in Honolulu streets or navigating, but in which he is welcome without pants.

Work was often in her hands, so often wont to wait on Industry —or the pen was there, for she kept up correspondence with absent children. Flowers exhaled their perfume anil smiled in beauty on her table, for had she not been their lover always ? And she herself sat serene, content, waiting so sweetly the passing of the few more shadows, waiting five fleeting years." She passed away in a very humble and trustful faith in the ransom of her divine Redeemer. Peacefully she fell on sleep in her eighty-fifth year. . �68 THE FRIEND Religious Work in Olaa. The Rev. C. W. Hill of Hilo Foreign Church writes from Olaa, August 12, as follows: "Through the kindness of Mr. Birnie who supplies my pulpit for two sabbaths, I am enjoying with my family a vacation of two weeks in Olaa, which enables me to help establish our work here. Miss C. Snow of Honolulu, who is visiting her brother, has gathered the children together for the last few sabbaths at the house of Mr. Trowbridge, and given them Bible instruction. Last Sabbath we effected a perfect organization with Mrs. C. Trowbridge, Superintendant, Mrs. Y. M. Fulcher, Assistant Superintendant, and Mr. J. W. Morris, Secretary and Treasurer. The whole number present was 26. Others can evidently be Drought in. The meat man tells me that he has 80 customers on the road between the Uth and 24th mile posts, mostly English speaking people. A lot 150 x 150 ft. has been cleared for a building for school purposes, religious services, and a gene ral meeting place. lam now clearing a lot of about two acres adjoining it for a cottage. Several houses are now being built in this neighborhood. I hope that religious work can be carried on here by the help of and perhaps in connection with the Hilo First Foreign Church." Educational Success of Mrs. W. H. Gulick. Rev. W. H. Gulick writes from San Sebastian in Spain, that two of their students who in 1894 had taken the degree of "Bachelor of Arts" in San Sebastian, continued their studies for the University degree corresponding to that of "Master of Arts." Mrs. Gulick prepared the girls for examination in General Literature, Philosophy, Metaphysics, and Spanish Literature as well as other studies. In May 1896, Mrs. Gulick and Miss Webb went to Madrid to matriculate the two girls, Esther Alonso and Julian Campo, in the University. When the ten examinations were completed, the highest marks were given in all of them ! The professors were greatly surprised; still more when they learned that they had been instructed by lady professors from the United States. The professor of Universal History said, laughing, "I did not intend to give you such a good mark, for you are enemies of my Catho lie God." So this Protestant school is made triumphant amid its foes.

At this last circuit I have baptized at Makiu two cfiildren. and received two new members on confession of faith; at Kuiua baptized three children, received one new member on confession of faith, at Taniamaiak none. Here at Butaritari baptized four children, and restored three members. One was postponed for next communion term. He went to the Catholics from Nua's time, and I have succeeded in getting him back, but I want to experiment his faith yet. He gave me two Catholic books, As I have heard from Kano.i that you desire to get hold of some of the Catholics' translations into the Gilbert tongue, I send them to you. May 2. The Catholic priest who went to Makiu is back f,rom his trip, and I am glad to hear from the people that he had no success there at all. I have just received a letter from Tabiteuea from Rev. S. K.taia. He says that the people are leaving him through the intermediance of Catholic priests. lam sorry to hear that, but I think the reason is this: Kaaia has three districts under his care, and they are far distant from each other. So when he is away from one of his districts, the Catholics have all the chance to go and sow their seeds, as they do here while I am away; and mind you, dear friend, after the Catholic gets hold of any of these natives, it is very hard to get them back again. I have succeeded to get one back here, but with hard toil. Now the news is that at Paaluhi's parish the Catholics have no success. Why ? Simply because the Pastor does not leave his sheep, but is c instantly among them. Therefore if the Catholics succeed here among the group, it is because they have many missionaries and plenty of money to carry on the work. So I think the time has come for the Hawaiian Board to send smart men here to help the work. I have understood that the Hawaiian Board think it is about time now, or a little later, for Kusaie students to carry on the work among these Islands. But lam afraid of that. Aa far as I understand their knowledge in Biblical studies, they are inferior to the Catholi? priests and monks, and mind you, the first thing those Catholics try to, is to argue with ourselves and our schoolteachers, and to depersuade the people to follow after our teachings. Now if we are not able to challenge their minds, and to prove to the |>i pie that the Catholics are in error, they will leave us and follow after them. So I think that Kusaie students are not able to face these Catholics. Therefore if the Hawaiian Board want to sustain this mission, they must try hard to supply the stations with missionaries of experience about Christanity and also good Biblical students. Pardon me if I go too tar. Your friend in the Lord Louis M. Mitchell. Romanists and the Scriptures. Father Vaughan, brother of Cardinal Vaughan. has lately been around the world visiting mission stations, and instructing the Roman Catholic missionaries to make diligent use of the Scriptures. That Romanists have adopted this method of work should confirm Protestants in their old method of grounding their converts well in the knowledge of the word of God. The use of the Scriptures in the South Sea Islands is so marked a feature of modern Romanist missions as to deserve special notice. The Papal Church never did much for education while she held the key of knowledge; but in the South Sea Islands her priests are now full ot educational zeal. In the Samoan Islands the Roman Catholic Church has some 5000 adherents out of a population of 36,000. The London Missionary Society reports 5743 church members. (This implies over 15,()00 adherents. Ed.J The Romanists have a girl's school, and wherever a priest settles there is a school of some sort, which he supervises. In the Gilbert Islands, the priests who have come to begin a Romanist mission there, have brought out a translation of the Gospel of Matthew illustrated with pictures and maps; a tabular harmony of the four gospels printed at Friburg; a pictorial life of Jesus printed in Paris; a book of prayers, etc. Copies of these books have been recently sent to Honolulu by Hawaiian missionaries at work in the Gilbert Islands. C. fcf. H. The pictorial Life of Jesus in Gilbertese is illustrated in very superior style. May the above facts encourage us to hope for the day when the French Catholic priests in Hawaii will give the Holy Scriptures to their disciples. It was only the other day that Catholic priests tore New Testaments out of the hands of Portuguese in Honolulu and destroyed them. Perhaps they will not repeat the act. But in all Catholic countries, the distribution of the Bible to the common people is strictly forbidden to this day. As in Hawaii, so in the Gilbert Islands, the Catholic missionaries are active in the work of school education, through their necessity to keep up with the Protestants. In Mexico and South America the priests discourage education. An Unusual Summer Rainstorm. O. R. & L. CO. Trains run between Honolulu.

The Free Kindergarten Society now reaches out to extend the good gift to the little folks on the large plantations. In this work, let there be no failure to improve to the utmost the grand opportunity to instil into these infant minds the fundamental principles of religion towards God, in worship, obedience and faith. Work of Palama Chapel. Rev. J. M. Lewis, in charge of this work, read a report Sept. 33rd, at Central Union Church, in which he said: "We earnestly hope to see soon a kindergarten established at this place. One is needed, and there are a large number of children of kindergarten age who are ready to come. Many parents, I believe, are anxious to see the school established. The distance to the town for these children is too great, but this building is well situattd and well adapted for this purpose. For such an organiza tion we need means. If we could make our philanthropic friends understand how deep a matter we have in hand, and if they could realize the educational and even the spiritual value of such a school, perhaps then money will flow from many quarters and make the kindergarten an established fact in this place.

Anderson, Dear Sir: » * • At our last general meeting, a letter was received from the king and high chiefs, requesting a teacher to be devoted to their children. It being ascertained that we should be such as they could wish, the mission voted by a large majority that we should relinquish oui other labors and undertake it. Some did not vote, because they did not like to have anything done to encourage a distinction between the children of chiefs and common people. We saw that as a general thing, the)' did not attend our schools, and thai they were growing up in ignorance. Bro. Whitney said thai if Moses weic allowed to go back to Kauai, he would do more hurt there than three missionaries could do good. This was more or les-. so with some of the others. The chiefs said they would furnish ■ house and support the children, if the teacher would take them into his family. Under these circumstances we consented, unqualified as we were, to engage in this new school. The children were all at Honolulu, and ready to go into the school and attend until a house should be built. We commenced with six a few days before general meeting broke up, in a small stiuly which I had built the past year. The) now number eight, and are to be increased to ten or more, two of whom are still babes. We have taught nothing but the English language, and design to bring them up to learn and speak the English language. The house was commenced and going on finely when the French frigate arrived and took away all their money. This has discouraged them about the house as yet, which «;ets along very slowly. It may be dune by next general meeting. In the meantime the)' come daily to school twice. In the after put of the day I continue my select school of boys, Sister Knapp having taken tin select school of girls.

These are the ten. and when we have gotten our house, etc.. the number may be increased. I have stated that some did nut vote that we should undertake this school. The main reason w s that we ought not to devote our time to so few unless we received our support from the chiefs, and were separated from the mission, for wt should be looked upon much in the light in which Bro. Richards is. About this we were not scrupulous. However, if it is thought best for us to separate from the Mission and Board, We are read) tn do so. We see no particular reason why we should separate In.m the Mission, as it is not expected that we shall teach politics. We should like to hear your views upon it as soon as possible, and the terms of such a Kinau, and separation, should you think it best to separate. KI-.I'OIU 10 or we finally * I 111 MISSION n\ UK. COOKE IN MAY 1840. Afterreporting other labors, Mr. Cooke continues. When we Unned our school of select boys into BroJ Knapp's hands, Nov. 22, it was that we might spend a few hours of each day in superintending the build inn which the chiefs had already commenced for the accommodation of the contemplated school. At this time it was far from being completed, and with but little prospect of being finished soon, unless we did take the supei intendenc) Kekuanaoa promised to furniah us with funds if we wnuld do so, and has fulfilled his word. The foundation of the house was laid sometime in June, and the walls were nearly completed when the French frigate arrived in July last, and deprived the nation of twenty thousand dollars. Between this time and my giving up my school of select boys to Bro. K. the walls were completed and the thatching put on. |The Editor distinct ly remembers the unplastered one-story adobe walls and thatched roof, of what seemed to be a commodious building, in Nov. 1839.1 After the middle of Feb. I gave up the school entirely to Mrs. C. who continued it until the house was completed April Bth, 1840. . 189f». On the llth of April we moved into the house, and during a vacation of about four weeks, the chiefs furnished the moms for their children by procuring bedsteads and beds, bureaus and tables, etc. and matting the rooms with fine native mats. The house on the outside is 70 feet square, with a court in the center, 36 feet square. The building contains 17 rooms of various dimensions, including cook room, dining room, bedrooms, school room 16x22 feet, and rooms for domestics. All this has been done at an expense of $ 1500, exclusive of about $500 worth of work which has been done as a fun Into (prison labor.) Most of $1500 has passed through my own hands, and about $200 of it has gone to natives for plastering, painting, digging well, etc. During the year the parents did nothing towards our support, but since the children have come into our family, they have supplied the table with eatables and some furniture. The six children of the chiefs who first came to the school were four boys and two girls. The eldest oi these was about ten and the youngest about four years of age. One of them, Alexander the King's son, could read a little in English books, and one, Moses, could spell out words of one syllable. Four of them did not know the alphabet. We commenced purposing to teach them the English language, and through that the sciences. To this we have, and do still adheie. As for writing, they knew nothing of it, and five can now write a legible hand. Four of these six have attended almost daily. Two in a few weeks went to Maui, but others soon took their places. During the year the children have been under our inlluence but about three hours per day, ,and but live days in a week. However they have made some progress, which encourages us in our new, very difficult and responsible task. They have not been so difficult to manage as we anticipated, submitting to the rules oi the school without a great deal of Oppo- sition. As to what the)' were when they came into school, some of you know to your grief, and what they still are, causes us their teachers many a sad moment. Whether or no there is any improvement, we would say to you all as Philip said to Nathanael, "Come and see.'' Whether any good can come out of those who have so long had their own way, and lived in so corrupted an atmosphere, is yet to be tried. After a vacation of nearly four weeks from Apiil 8, to May 4, the children, seven in number, came into our family, and a separation, to which we had looked forward with dread, took place between these seven children and their al most numberless servants. The first week was one of frequent crying on the part of the children, and of wailing on the part of the servants; but God, as we had already begun to believe, had un- �dertaken the work, and He has overturned, and we humbly hope, will con tinue to overturn, until this mass of pollution, and worse than death, which has so long surrounded, by day and night, tbe interests, temporal and eternal, of these children, shall be entirely rolled away. The second week the children began to be more reconciled to their new home, and *re now happy in school and at play, and apparently in the restraints already beginning to surround them. On the 18th of May the former number of seven was increased to eleven by the arrival of the King's son and two smaller ones with him from Maui, and Kamamalu a little girl of 18 months and daughter of Kinau. On the same day John Ii and his wife were added to the family as Kahus, and the only ones lor all the children. In a few days another is expected to enter, a girl of six years of age, and daughter of Laanui This will make our number twelve, and as many as we can possibly manage, considering that it is to be a family, not a boarding school. Our family arrange ments are still in their infancy, but are gradually growing into a system. Obstacles which we have esteemed mountains have, as we advanced, dwindled into hills. We take pleasure in acknowledging the constant and very efficient aid rendered us by Dr. Judd, whose long acquaintance and influence with the chiefs has availed much, and without whose advice and cooperation, we very much doubt whether the school would now be in existence. On the 15th of April we had a Feast of Dedication, at which the King and most of the parents were present, and appeared much pleased with the house and prospects of their children. The expenses of the table were principally borne by them. Aftur dinner we met in the school-room, and had a prayer by bro. Bingham, followed by an address from him in reference to the spiritual interests of the children, the importance of their being educated together that they may have but the one pono, the importance of all understanding the word of God and ruling as there directed, &c. &c. The children then sung a hymn they had learned, and bro. Dibble followed with remarks on the subject of boardingschools, the anxiety or willipgne'ss ot parents to part with their children for a season that they might obtain a better education, the importance of the children understanding the Fnglish language as so many are constantly coming to these shores who speak it, and that they may have access to the numerous books published on political subjects, and learn the constitutions and laws of other nations, 75 THE FRIEND. Vol. 54, No. 10.] ing, being regular in their seasons for qu mtity and quality of their food, the importance of having hours foi retiring and rising, and several others of a similar kind. Urn Richards followed and closed with political remarks, the importance of the children being together, that the chiefs of the (liferent islands should be trained to similar habits of thought so that in after til's: they should more easily understand c cb other and be united in their plans and aims that they might stand as one and the same, and not be divided in their interests, &c. &c. In conclusion we would say thai trod, by tins >. hool. as well as by the high school. .■ lid the two boarding schools in vigorous operation, was verifying his promise, that "when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him, ami that by choosing such agents as he has, he is farther fulfilling his word that he "chooses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and the weak things of the world to confound the mighty.'

We would here give a concise view of the objects at which we aim, and the ones we supposed you had in view when you appointed us as teachers ol this school. 1. A separation between the children and their numerous attendants. 2. Obedience rather than being obeyed, knowing that those can never rule, who have never been ruled. .'<.

These aie some of the prominent objects we would hope to accomplish, should we continue and have good suc- Funeral of Nawahi. The funeral of the Hon. Joseph Nawas made the occasion of a large turnout of the native Royalist sympathizers with the deceased gentlemen. About fiOU members of Hawaiian Patriotic Societies and Leagues formed in the procession which escorted the mortal remains to the steamer Hawaii for conveyance to Hilo. At the wharf was a crowd of some 1000 natives, with the customary wailing and chanting of the virtues of the deceased. Mr. Nawahi having once been for a few days a member of the (Queen's Cabinet, the Government sent the Band and a company of Police as escort to head the procession. At Lahaina, large quantities of flowers were piled aboard the steamer in testimony of Royalist sympathy. Mr. Nawahi was educated at the missionary schools of Hilo and Lahaina" He was one of the foremos' luna. among the Hawaiians in mental ability His personal character was always highly reputable. He had been in law practice for several years. In politics, Mr. Nawahi actively and consistently espoused the claim of the Hawaiians to control the Government, to the exclusion of any dominating influence of the whites. He was intensely opposed to the Revolution of 1889 which established such a domination, and was a faithful supporter of Liliuokalani and Hawaiian supremacy after the Ojueen's dethronement. Although he took no part in the royalist insurrection of 1896, he was, from a Hawaiian point of view, an ardent patriot. In view of his estimable personal character, his death is to be felt as a genuine loss to Hawaii. wahi, Wainee Church Rebuilding. Through the munificence of Mr. Henry P.

When the first Morning Star in 1856-7 brought around the Horn the pioneer Missionaries to the Gilbert Islands, Mr. and Mrs. 11 nam Bingham, she carried a speaking trumpet, presented by the missionary children of Constantinople. In overhauling Kawaiahao Church for last year, this trumpet with its inscription was found in a battered condition, in the basement where mission books were stored. It has been restored and repiated by Mr. H. F. Wichman, and will have place in the Pauahi Museum. The ship to which the trumpet had belonged, was sold after several years service, sailed westward from Honolulu, and was never heard of afterwards. Two of her successors were wrecked in the Caroline Islands. The fourth Morning Star is in active service. Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Bingham after 10 years service, are still laboring in Honolulu upon Gilbertese literature, although in feeble health. repairs Julien D. Hayne Again. The unfortunate widow lady whom Hayne married in I*9l in Florida, under false pretense of being a wealthy coffee planter from Hawaii, was recently induced to put into his hands all her available property amounting to $5,000 in money and $13,000 in non-negotiable notes. With these Hayne disappeared, and the wife has become demented. Her friends have instituted search for Hayne's whereabouts, as well as to learn some, thing of his previous history, of which nothing is known before his first appearance here in 1893. Nothing is learned about the intended publication of Hayne's "A Missionary Republic," which is believed to embody a choice selection of the revilings latelyprinted in his magazine, "The Hawaiian." Hayne's numerous rascalities in Honolulu indicate him to be a very pronounced specimen of the genus "crook." Journal of a Young Traveller. Jamie Wilder, a grandson of Dr. Judd and lately out of college, has been making the globe tour, and portions of his private journal in Malacca and Borneo have been furnished by his friends to the P.

It is learned that Professor W. T. Brigham, the eminent Curator of the Bishop Museum, has returned from his recent tour around the globe, with a commission from the munificent Charles R. Bishop to establish in Honolulu a first-class Aquarium for the scientific study of the marine life of the Pacific. It is understood that Mr. Bishop is prepared to expend $750,000 in buildings, apparatus, and endowments. Such an institution may be expected to attract a concourse of students and specialists, to pursue investigations. Provision will also be made for exhibiting the curiosities of marine life to the general public. Farther details respecting the proposed institution may be expected. During his tour, Prof. Brigham has secured for the Museum very complete sets of photographs of specimens of Polynesian art obtained by Cook, Vancouver and other early explorers, and deposited in various Kuropean Museums. Blavatskyism. By Sanscrit Prof. Hopkins of Yale. "Apart from philosophical influence there is at present more or less interest in Europe and America in Indie superstition and spiritualism, and half educated people will doubtless be influenced tor some time to come by Mahatniaism and Yogism, just as they are moved by native seance-spirits and mesmerism. Blavatsky ism (which represents no phase of Buddhism) will always find disciples among the ignorant classes, especially in an agnostic or atheistic environment, so that one should attribute the mental attitude of such minds to their lack of culture rather than to India; for if Mahatmaism had not been discovered, they would still profess it under another name." Accident to Aeronaut. James W. Price, proprietoi of a circus, on the 29th of August, undertook to ascend from Wailuku, Maui, in a hot air balloon. At the height of 1:10 feet the balloon burst. Price cut away his parachute, but it failed to open. The aeronaut plunged into a large, thick mango tree in W. M. Robinson's yard, escaping with a bruised and scratched face. It is somewhat of a coincidence that just a week before at Astoria, Oregon, Weston Daggett fell 2000 feet, by the failure of his parachute to open. He dropped into a large fir tree, but was fearfully mangled, we have not heard whether fatally so or not. A few years ago at Honolulu a parachute was carried a mile out to sea, and the man lost. 77 THE FRIEND.

Gulick, Editor. The White Woman of Geneseo. A lady of Honolulu gives us the following thrilling story of a life. In one of the Indian ntfdi ol lout,' ago, a little girl of tin years ,il age was seizeil and carried captive into ihe camp ing grounds of the Indians. Tli.it she might not entirely forget hei native tontrue anil lose all trace uf her forme rs sell, her mother charged her to repeal the Lord's prayer every evening, and In often repeat her own name. Ilie lillli captive followed her mothei 's instruction.! and so through the long years retsined some knowledge of her childhood's language. She grew to womanh mil among the Indians, became the wile ol an Indian and the mother of six sons. As the white men pressed on and settled up the western part of New York State, it became known to them that there was a white woman living among the Indians. She was known as Mrs. Jainesnn, or In "The White Woman of (ieneseo. the Genesee Valley where now dwell thousands, tens of thousands, nl Anuii ca's best citizens, theie was once hut this one lone captive white woman. In later years her parents identified her as their daughter, but hei habits nnd illations ol life weie fixed and she continued lo live among the Indians.

Tne hundred and eighl years ago a part of the crew of the British ship Bounty mutinied against Capt. Bligh and set him adrift with eighteen men in the ship's launch. Alter a voyage in the launch of 3,6(10 miles Capt. Bligh and his men landed on the island of Timor. But the Bounty's prow was turned Northward to Tahiti. Nine British sailors with six Tahitian men and twelve women sailed eastward to I'itcairn Island where they took up their residence and burned the Homily in I7KK. In the course of the next ten years all the Tahitian men, all the sailors with the exception of Alexander Smith (who subsequently changed his name to John Adams) and several of the women had died by violence or disease for twenty years, or till IKON, the fate of the Bounty was wholly unknown to the world. In this yeai, an American Capt. folger, touched at I'itcairn Island and reported his discovery. Alter John Adams was left alone as the sole snrvi vol of the original company, he seems to have been thoroughly converted, and by his earnest endeavors instilled into the young minds of bis own companions and descendants the principle of the Chi istian religion. And to day, the Pitcaitn community IS thought by intelligent visitors to be the most godly company of believers in the world. In IBM by the aid of the British Government the whole colony was re moved to a larger and more fertile island, Norfolk Island, which lies 1,100 miles Annual Meeting of the Kindergarten Association. The Annual Meeting of the Kinderand Children's Aid Association was held at the Y. M. Y. A. building on Friday m trning, Oct. '.'nd. The meeting was opened with the reading of a passage of Scripture and a few appropriate remarks by the President, Mrs. Hyde, alui which Mrs. Hall led in prayer, file reports of the different officers were then read. The report of Acting Secretary, Mrs. H. Castle, gave a very interesting account of what has bet n accomplished during the past year, and the outlook for the coming year. As many as three hundred children have been under Kindergarten influences during the year. Changes have been made in the teaching force of the live free kindergartens; but all are now supplied with teachers.

Much of the in exchanging our ideas of the greatest above information was gained from her of all truths which concern the immortal destinies of men. in a short interview. gaiten �80 In the name of my August Master, the Emperor of China, I beg to tend to you his best thanks for jour approval and appreciation of the protection afforded to the American missionaries in China. What we have done -and how little we have done on our part ! —is but the duty of our Government; while the missionaries, as you have so well expressed, have not sought tor pecuniary gains at the hands of our people. They have not been secret emissaries of diplomatic schemes. Their labors have no political significance; and the last, not the least, if I might be permitted to add, they have not interfered with or usurped the rights of the territorial authorities. In a philosophical point of view, as far as I have been able to appreciate, Christianity does not differ much from Confucianism, as the Golden Rule is expressed in a positive form in the one, while it is expressed in the negative form in the other Logically speaking, whether these two forms of expressing the same truth cover exactly the same ground or not, I leave to the investigation of those who have more philosophical tastes. It is, at the present, enough to conclude that there exists not much difference between the wise sayings of the two greatest teachers, on the foundations of which the whole structure of the two systems of morality is built. As man is composed of soul, intellect and body, I highly appreciate that your eminent Boards, in your arduous and much esteemed work in the field of China, have neglected none of the three. I need not say much about the first, being an unknowable mystery of which even our great Confu As for intellect, civs had no knowledge. numerous educational have started you establishments which have served as the best means to enable our countrymen to acquire a fair knowledge of the modern arts and sciences of the West. As for the material part of our constitution, your societies have started hospitals and dispensaries to save not only the soul but also the body of our countrymen. I have also to add that in the time of famine in some of the provinces you have done your best for the greatest number of sufferers to keep their bodies and souls together. Before I bring my reply to a conclusion, I have only two things to mention. The first, the opium smoking, being a great curse to the Chinese population, your societies have tried your best, not only by anti-opium societies, but to afford the best means to stop the craving for the opium; and also, you receive none as your converts who are opium smokers. I have to tend, in my own name, my best thanks for youi most effective prayers to God to spaie my life when it was imperiled by the assassin's bullet, and for the most kind wishes which you have just now so ably expressed in the interests of my Sovereign, my country and my people. October, 1896. THE FRIEND. PEloiewcGntr A fh merica. A glance into the statistics of the subject shows that the industries in the United States in which electric power transmission is employed represent invested capital amounting to $1,500,000,-000, and two-thirds of these industries have grown up within the past ten years. The Republic has now more than 1 "2,000 miles of electric railroads, including over 90 per cent, of all street railroads in the country, and using 25,000 trolley cars. There are nearly 8,000 isolated electric plants, representing capital amounting to $200,000,000. We have about 500,-000 motors in use, of an aggregate value of $75,000,000. The complete displacement of steam is regarded as a question of a comparatively short time. N. Y. Independent. — Waianae Coffee Plantation. Much attention is being attracted to a very thriving coffee plantation of 45 acres in Waianae owned by Mr. Ahrens the manager of the neighboring sugar plantation. The trees are three and four years old, and are heavily loaded with berries. This tract is under the lee of Kaaia mountain, and thus protected from thc driving trades. It is about 1000 feet in altitude, at which height it enjoys abundant mountain rain, as well as coolness. Prof. Koebele's lady-birds completely antidote all forms of insect blight. Other small plantations are forming along the same mountain base. There seems to be no reason why coffee culture should not be a perfect success on perhaps two or three thousand acres on Oahu, which are equally well-situated. Blight has been the chief cause of former failures. Apparently, coffee culture presents larger opportunity than any other occupation in these islands to white settlers of small means. It is satisfactory to see again urged the conversion of the newly filled land above the Railway Station into a Park where children may revel among trees and flowers. Surely this will be done. Lying along the new-made stream, such a Park will be a place of beauty. A Bicycle Race Track is arranged to be made on the salt marsh flat in Kewalo beyond corner of South and King Streets. That region is in process of reclamation and will soon become beauti ful with trees and gardens. O. H. & L.

Sayce is not in the least a worshipper of the Bible- but he has too much science to follow Kuenen and VVellhausen, 01 their disciples, Driver, Briggs and Harper, who cut the Pentateuch into small slivers, the product of many different writers, which somebody pieced together. Sayce is an accomHe has com plished Assyriologist. pared the Babylonian account of the Deluge with that in Genesis. The "Higher Critics" have proved, as they think, that the Genesis story is a compilation from two distinct writers whom they call fehovistic and Elokistic. They have confidently picked out the passages belonging to each writer. Now tonus Dr. Sayce and shows that out of nineteen distinct resemblances between the Babylonian epic and the so carefully dissected chapters in Genesis, twelve are found in the Elohistic part, and seven in the Jehovistic. Now the author of the Babylonian Bpir lived before the time of Abraham, and so could not have had Genesis before him. Sayce says it is hence evident, "that the division of the biblical text into a Jehovistic and an Elohistic document is a philological mirage. And if it is a mirage in the account of the Deluge, where the marks of separate authorship apptar to be clearer than anywhere else in the Pentateuch, it must be still more a mirage elsewhere. With the collapse ol the literary analysis of the narrative of the Deluge, the whole fabric ol the literary analysis of the Pentateuch falls to the ground." With our own limited scholarship and reading of the higher critics, we yet have received a very clear impression that their methods are extremely fanciful and unscientific. Their treatment of specific passages is conjectural, and then they argue from their fanciful 81 The Friend.

Independent we excerpt some statements. No. J7 of "Catholic Papers" written by ultra Anglican ritualists denounces the Reformation, and says the great aim, "Is to win our way back into the unity of Western Christendom, and to set the English Primate once more in his proudest place the right hand of the Throne of Peter, to whom belongs jure divino the Primary of all." But Leo XIII declares that the Archbishop of Canterbury is not in orders at all. He will not admit such pretenders as the Anglican Clergy to sit with him. Procul, o procitl este profiiui !" All this is very sad. To most people the task ol bunging the English Church back to the groveling superstition and credulity of preKeformation times seems somewhat hopeless. But to believe in what seems impossible is the joy of these queer medieval dreamers. The great British people have too much solid sense and love of liberty not to hold in scorn such despicable reneThe gades from religions liberty. strength of British Christianity is now, as heretofore, outside of the State Church, The "Throne of Peter! These renegade Anglicans bow down to the Giant Lie of the Ages. Peter certainly never was "Bishop ol Rome." The weight of evidence shows that he never was in Rome. Even if he had been Bishop, he held no Primacy in the Church of Christ. Nor if Primate,'did he, or could he, ever delegate that office to any successors. The whole scheme of Peter's Primacy or Throne is a preposterous falsehood, and the Papacy based thereon. IRa gigantic usurpation. ' Valuable Gift.

Vol. 54, No. 11.] the afternoon they have read in their native bibles, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and other select portions. On the Sabbath they have always attended native service twice, and sometimes the oldest have attended English service at the Chapel. After all, none give evidence of having passed from death into life, although at times some have shown a little seriousness. Their conduct upon the Sabbath has been much better than we antici pated. By precept and example we have striven to teach them great reverence for the Sabbath, the impropriety of visiting aed receiving visits, and the wickedness of wasting the day in frivolous conversation. Generally our labors have been more fatiguing on that day than on the other days of the week. Difficulties and trials. We have spoken freely of the encouragements with which we have met, and perhaps it may not be amiss to allude to some ol the difficulties and trials that have at times obstructed our path. From the commencement we havebeen watched by the numerous kahus of the children who have been extremely jealous of our influence over them, and more especially since the children have been separated from them. In some way or another they would hear of all that was transacted within the house, and with such additions and subtractions as they chose to make, they would pour their complaints into the ears of the parents and chiefs to the no small detriment of us the teachers. The parents being alway free to come into the establishment, would frequently come and learn the truth or falsehood of the stories coming constantly to their ears. They sooi. found they must not give credit all they heard. From the first we have walked with careful but decided steps. We knew our motives were not appreciated as they should be, either by parent^, children, or kahus. We have tried tv please them all, but more especially our Master in Heaven. At one time one of our domestics became disaffected, and reported that one of the boys was sick and had not eaten for two days. A grandmother came to see and found it to be false. However, it so worked upon her mind that a few days after when we were returning on horseback from our bathing excursion, she called the man who had her grand son to carry him to her. He did so, and she would not give him up again for some time until forced to by li, the kahu appointed for the boy by the King, who after conversing with her upon the impropriety of her conduct, actually took him by main strength and returned him to the school. The conduct of this woman was universally disapproved by the parents. Ghost stories, etc. —We had not been here many weeks before one of the older girls heard of the death of one of her kahus, and told the other children that the — spirit of her kahu was after her. That night one of the smaller boys fell out of bed, and was exceedingly frightened, and cried with a loud cry, a ghost ! a ghost ! They all would have it that the house was haunted, and we were somewhat fearful they all would leave. At another time, they heard that a sorcerer on Maul had prophesied that all who entered the school would die. This also made them uneasy for several days. At another time, as I was waLing out one morning with two of the eldest boys, the elder Stepped over a mark in the road. The other saw it, Stepped back, and cried to the elder one that he had crossed that maik made by a sorcerer, and that he would be prayed to death. His mind was so troubled about it that he was truly sick. His mother happened to be here about that time, and she rather confirmed his fears. But when Kekuanaoa heard of it, he told her she must not come any more to see her son. At first, however, Kekuanaoa fell in with the mother, and sent one morning three times before breakfast to have the boy go down to the fort and take some native medicine. I finally sent word that he had better send the medicine up, which he did and the boy took it. It was a week before he got entirely over it. They used sometimes to talk about lapus, until I repeatedly explained to them the nature of one. For some months we have heard nothing about ghosts, or lajuis, or sorcerers, neither are they so af.aid of the dark as they once were. Their selfish feelings. —These were very apparent when we first commenced, each feeling that everything should con tribute only to him and herself. But we are happy to see that they are learning that the world is wide enough for them all, and that others have rights as dear to them as their rights are to themselves. Reports to the chiefs. —About the Ist April, I wrote in native a report of our school up to that time, and sent it to the parents and chiefs at Lahaina. I have not learned what they did with it. I also wrote to Mr. Richards about his suggesting to the chiefs the propriety of their paying us a salary if we continued their school another year. I told him if they were able and withal willing, our relations to the Board and Christian community required us to get our support from them. I wished them to pay whatever they did pay into the Depository, and we draw our allowance from thence as usual. From that, as yet, we The past have also heard nothing. year they have furnished us with most of our eatables, but we have expended from our stipend for the school much more than enough to balance all that. We have furnished some books, ftc Our crockery is mostly broken. Our stove and kitchen furniture have also been nearly destroyed. We have also expended something for repairs about the house. These facts I stated in my letter to Mr. Richards, lest the chiefs might get the impression that they were already doing something towards our support. It is true that they have furnished us with a house to live in, but this has been helping the mission, and not us as individuals of that mission. In conclusion, allow us to say that we are tired in the work but not of it. Though our number has been small, we have endeavored to benefit them the more Even the few have driven ua much more than we have been driven since we have been on missionary ground. The importance of such a school has greatly increased in our estimation, and as its importance has increased, our incompetencytothe task has also increased. But like Mary, we have endeavored to dowhat we could. Brethren, pray for us, and these interesting children, and should we, or anyone else continue the school another year, may we not hope that the blessing of God will descend in answer to your prayers, and these future rulers of the nation be converted in their youth, and be so accustomed to do good, that they ahall become a great blessing to themselves, to the nation, and to the church. So pray your fellow-laborers in the kingdom and patience of our Lord Jesus Christ. A. S. Cooke. The Woman's Exchange. This institution, underthe auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, was reported at the annual meeting ol the latter on Oct. 20, as having met a fair amount of financial success. Their quarters were removed several months ago to the old Gazette building on Merchant street, which was renovated and fitted up. There in the front rooms are sold the various curios, fans and other handiwork of depositors. A lunch room has also been maintained, where needy house keepers are enabled to dispose of the dainty products of their cookery. This has been much frequented by the business men of the city. Prices are necessarily low, and the eatables are excellent. Some pecuniary contributions have so far been needed, to make ends meet. This establishment is not only a favorite resort of the public at lunch hour, but gives support to many worthy women.

The post oilier is being extended and improved. Sev eral new stores are in progress of building. Hilo is well supplied with Waterworks, Ice works, Electric lighting and Telephones. The town already has about .00 miles of macadam roads into the country, and these are rapidly being extended. It has a great future before it. �Vol. 54, No. 11.] 85 THE FRIEND. Victoria's the Longest English Reign. Shrievalties Vacated and Filled. All English speaking nations are deeply interested in the notable fact that on the 21th of September, Victoria, Cjueen of Great Britain and Ireland, had reigned one day longer than her grandfather, George 111,, who had exceeded all his predecessors, by a reign of fiftynine years and ninety-seven days. The reign of Victoria has been one of high personal honor to herself, and of the greatest brilliancy in literature, science, art, foreign conquest and colonial development, (iod has greatly blessed Cjueen Victoria, her subjects, and the other nations who are their kindred. It needs no gift of prophecy to believe that He will continue to bless and prosper them. No monarch of the long British line more truly commands the earnest respect of mankind than Victoria Xi Gi Hitchcock, Sheriff of Hawaii, and ex-Marshal, has been appointed Circuit Judge of Hawaii, in place of Hon, S. L. Austin, deceased. Lorrin A. Andrews, Sheriff of Maui, has been appointed Sheriff of Hawaii. L. Mansfield Baldwin, for one month Sheriff of Kauai, becomes Sheriff of Maui. Increase of Ocean Steamers at Honolulu. During the last three months ol I vi.l, the number of ocean steamers calling at this port averaged seven a month. They now average thirteen, or an annual rate of increase of two per month. At this rate by the end of 1905, Honolulu must provide wharfage for :ll steamers a month, besides their attendant coal ships, which will require equal or greater accommodation. By the end of I'JOO, or four years hence. ..'I steamers a month must be cared for. Indeed the ratio of increase is likely to accelerate. And the additional ships are likely to average greater length, tonnage and speed than the present ones. It is evident that our harbor facilities are going to be strained to the utmost. At times there will be six 01 eight ships simultaneously in port, in a harry to coal up and be oil. At piesent there are only two suitable wharves. Two more are projected, and it is hoped, will be available in a year or more. Another pair are intended to follow, say m two or three years from date. Probably other available locations for deeji water wharves may be found in the harbor. Whenever an Isthmian Canal is opened, a large additional fleet of steamers will pour in upon us. It seems doubtful whether room for them can be found at all in this harbor, or whether dockage could be constructed fast enough. The.c is howver, the amplest room to be found in Pearl Harbor. The time is evidently not distant when the use of that commodious haven will be imperatively required. It remains to be seen whether the United States will dredge out and open the bar for the purpose of a Naval Station in time for our commercial necessities, or whether the Hawaiiart Government will be compelled to aSsume the task. Our commercial prospects are certainly promising. Enough is Hon. H. E. Cooper, Minister of Foreign Allans, accompanied by his stenographer Marx, sailed per S. S. Miowcra for Vancouver on the 2!) th. It is understood that Mr. Cooper goes partly on private and partly on public business. He contemplates two months absence will be in Washington in December. — Unwise Methods of Teaching. A correspondent of the Evening Bill Ictin gives the following sample: My youngest hopeful returned home from school last evening with the following as a samjile of the arithmetic lesson of the day: "Mary gathered 37 mangoes on Monday, 43 on Tuesday, 64 Wednesday, IV on Thursday and 76 on Friday. How many mangoes did Mary gather during the five days?" The answer, to be written out in accordance with the formula adopted by the educational authorities, is something like this: "This is a problem in addition. Since Mary gathered 37 mangoes on Monday, 43 on Tuesday, 64 on VVednesday, lil on Thursday, and 76 on Friday, Mary must have gathered the sum of 37 mangoes, 13 mangoes, 64 mangoes, 19 mangoes, and 76 mangoes, or 239 mangoes." "Mr. Editor, what earthly sense is there in that kind of instruction? What benefit is it to a child to go through such a circumlocutory course in order to obtain a simple result?" "How is it that the average school teacher becomes so imbued with the idea that any such tomfool method as the above will broaden and expand the intellect ola child?" We can testify to the correctness of the above. Normal Schools have much to answer for in training young teachers to foolish methods. No amount of technical training can exempt a teacher from the need of exercising independent good sense. Comets Not Dangerous. The following paragraph is going the rounds: "Professor Falk of Vienna announces that the earth will collide with a comet on November 13, 1899. The earth itself will survive the shock, but every living thing will be choked with poisonous gases and he finally cremated." now known of the structure of comets, to make it safe to say that a collision with one would have little effect upon the earth. The most that would be noticed would be a swarm of shooting stars, from the combustion mom atmosphere of the little meteoric stones, of a cloud of which the nucleus of the comet is composed. The vapors of the coma and of the tail are mainly carbon and hydrogen, and so tenuous that their presence could not be perceived at all. Punctured by a Swordfish. The barkentine Irmgard arrived at San Francisco Sept. 22d, with a load of sugar from Honolulu, having sprung a leak on the passage. On examination, the blade of a swordfish was found driven into the bow at the water line. It had passed through the planking and broken off about a foot from the outside. No wonder that whales succumb to the stabs of swordfish. Full Pardon to Liliuokalani. On the 23rd uit., the Council of State unanimously voted in favor of a full pardon being granted to the ex-queen, who had previously been under parole. Such pardon by the President was ac- cordingly delivered to her on the i7th. Few comments have appeared in the daily papers. There appears to be gen eral apathy on the subject. RECORD OF EVENTS. Oct.

Ciulick, Shall the North Pacific - Editor. Missionary Institute Have an Endowment? RByev.Leadingham. J. The Theological School is a necessary factor in the moral and religious forces of any civilized country. It has a definite work to tlo in training the men who are to fill the pulpits of the land and be the leaders of the people in their religious life. Upon its efficiency the success of this work will largely depend, and its efficiency will depend upon the thoroughness of its equipment. All of this is especially true of the Theological school in these Islands. It is the natural agency for continuing the Christian work which was begun here seventy-five years ago, and from which so much of good has come. The Fro testant native churches have looked to it in years past for their pastors, and in time to come it should naturally be the source, to which the other peoples who are finding their homes here, can look lor their spiritual leaders. Hut this school is, as yet, in a process of development. With the growth of morals and intelligence in the country, new demands are being made upon it, which, with its present outfit, it is no longer able to meet. As its name implies, it has heretofore been a missionary school, under the direction ol missionary boards, and provided for from the funds of missionary societies. Hut the question may now fairly be raised whether the time has not come for a change of method in its management and support. Not that there is no longer missionary work to be done, nor that there is no longer need of aid. The contrary is true. There should be more work done and there is more need of aid. Hut the two Hoards from which the funds are provided, are now taxed to the limit of their ability. The American Hoard is carrying on its work on a much reduced basis. The Hawaiian Hoard has been in debt at various times in the past two years. It is in debt at the time of this writing, with the greater part of the year's expenses still to be met. This indicates a rowing work. Under these circumstances, there is no hope of sufficient enlargement on a secure basis, either for the work which the Hawaiian Board is doing in school and church, among the various peoples in the Islands, or in the work of the Institute. But if that branch of the 87 Protestant work which has been the In order to make progress and secure dominating religious influence in past a satisfactory result from the course of years, is to be carried to a successful study, a regular curriculum is needed, issue, there should be enlargement and and a division of the students into classes, strengthening of forces in of both these according to their years of residence in departments. the school.

The public mind has just been directed towards the joy and duty of praise to God for his mercies. Is it not one of the greatest of his mercies that he has not suffered our people to be markedly lacking in beneficence, but has led many to the joy of being liberal in the bestowment of their gifts for the public service, and for the progress of the Gospel. An instance of this happy generosity has been in the means provided for the erection of the beautiful church for the Portuguese. A place of worship has also been bought for the Japanese, and mostly paid for. Many other good works have been wrought. It has been a year of exceptional financial prosperity, and many men are studying where prudently to invest their surplus dividends. May they be led to invest largely in wise and thoughtful outlay for the Kingdom of God in this land. May the Lord in his great goodness thus move upon men's hearts to worthy acts of public beneficence Large Opportunities in Prospect. things seem now to indicate Blany r at hand a rapid multiplication of as The probable event of Annexation should stimulate a large white immigration. The opening of an Isthiman Canal would promote it. Any prosperous and desirable management of such a state as Hawaii should become, as this great meeting point of the lines of Pacific commerce, will demand a capable and intelligent white population to conduct it. We may undoubtedly reckon on an ingathering of a strong population of English-speaking whites in Hawaii during the next twenty or thirty years; The anxious question arises, how far will this new immigration find its moral and spiritual affinities crystallizing around the sturdy nucleus of Christian life now existing here, or how much will it tend to succumb to degrading influences, and renounce that religion and virtue it had learned in the home land. The result is certain to be determined mainly by the amount of healthy vigor and vitality which the new comers shall find in the Christian life of the churches already flourishing in the Islands. They will find miich of evil here, and will bring much of evil with them—much of unbelief, godlessness, immorality. But the living loyalty of Christ's people to their Master is a mighty leaven. If active, it is fully capable of pervading and transforming very large masses of new additions to the existing population. We cannot doubt that this great function of so leavening the coming immigration isappointed toour Christian churches in these Islands, and that it has been largely in preparation for this work of spiritually shaping the new population that these churches have been planted and nourished here into so pros, perous a growth. The grand task is probably near at hand. The glorious opportunity is before our churches of creating and shaping what shall be a truly Christian State, in which God is honored, his laws observed, and righteousness and purity shall prevail. To fulfil rightly this noble mission it is needful that all Christian souls should live near to God, and gird themselves up to spiritual activity as good soldiers at Honolulu. the white population of these islands. increase will be a natural conserve of increase of shipping calling of Christ. Xi Number 12 89 HONOLULU, H. 1., DECEMBER, 1896. Volume 54. In this coming period of national growth, may every Christian rejoice in acting as a faithful soldier In the Lord's army, and not as a greedy camp-foilower clutching at gain, or as a waster of God's gifts, wantoning in luxury. Receipts of the A. B. C. F. M. The following statement respecting the steady increase of the receipts of the American Board of Missions, is most encouraging. It is taken from the Missionary Herald from November. By a special effort, last year's debt of $.14,-632 had been lifted, bringing up the years receipts to $742,602. Total expenditures for the year were $62.",970, involving distressing reductions in the various missions. With the present prospect of better times, an increase of receipts seems probable. Our own history speaks to us once more. "The orb of Christian work revolves," some one has said, "and carries nights and seasons as the year does." With a somewhat noticeable regularity the dark days have been seen in our history of finance, and then the receipts have risen to a higher plane, not to go back again. The false prophets of 1837 saw the end of our increasing receipts; again they were on hand in 1857; nor did tney forget their message in 1873, and we have heard their venerable words to day. We follow the decades of history and our inspired faith expects another advance as this century shall go out, if we are to keep step with the divine leadings. Our receipts averaged;— In the first decade In the second decade n the third decade in the fourth decade n the fifth decade n the sixth decade n the seventh decade n the eighth decade -- • 16,242 66,473 168,474 2551138 »Mm 451,910 462,959 645,109 We have passed six years into the ninth decade to find another advance, the average being $754,828. This spirit of missionary zeal is kindled at just the time of its greatest need. We cannot withhold the feeling that this is the time for another advance in which all the churches shall be enlisted. If it is true that we have reached the maximum of receipts, then we have a task from which the host of heaven may well shrink. The spirit of missions, the promise of Christ, the providences of God are all against a policy of retreat. �90 Mr. Amos. S. Cooke's Report of School mar lessons.

Though the eldest of our own two children was severely afflicted with the dysentery, his life has been spared, which calls for our devout gratitude. Soon after last years' general meeting, the king and chiefs visited Oahu, and while here, we had at their suggestion, an examination of our school. This was June 18, 1811, and the same day, we had a feast provided by the Governor Kekuanaoa, at which Capt. Hudson, with the kings and chiefs, and some of our brethren and sisters of this station were present. The whole exercises of the day were extremely pleasant, especially to the parents of our scholars. The king, though he had heard many reports detrimental to the school, appeared much pleased with what he saw and heard on that day. As our school had been laid aside for several days during our general meeting, we had no vacation after this examination. We have had none since, till within the last foui or five weeks, during which time we have been absent to Maui. The expenses of our school the past year have been sustained by the king and chiefs. We have always taken our meals with the children, of such as was provided. Sometimes the provision was scarce, and at such times we have supplied from our own resources. We think we have furnished to such an amount as to equal what we have received. Direct presents from the chiefs we have received none. Health and Sickness. —The day after our examination, Moses, our eldest boy, fell from a horse and broke the radius of his left arm. In February one of the small boys was severely afflicted with a dysentery. Soon after, one of our girls was affected with the pleurisy, and was an invalid for a month. With the exception of the above cases of sickness, the general health of our family has been very icmarkable. Studies. These have been very much the same that they were last year.

They have committid to Dedication from ihe Pacific Commercial memory a verse daily, and these vtises have been the basis of instruction in the Advertiser: Sunday School. The fruits of these instructions have not been so apparent as we could wish, but their views of the doctrines of the Bible have undoubtedly been expanded. In March seven ot our scholars united with a children's Temperance society which excluded tobacco. Visit to Maui.— At the earnest wish of the king and chiefs, we have made a visit to Maui, not however without being first assured that we should be provided with accommodations similar to those enjoyed at Honolulu, and knowing for a certainty that there had-been a general alteration among the chiefs for the better. Though we did not think there would be any cessation to our labors by going with all our family to Maui, yet we thought there would be some change at least, and that this might operate favorably both on us and our scholars. We left home Wednesday morning, April 20, in the Paalua, and reached Maui Friday morning about daylight. As we had the vessel to ourselves the voyage was tolerable, though we suffered much from seasickness. Perhaps we cannot better set forth the interest the parents felt in our school than by giving a short account of our reception. As soon as they had learned that we had arrived, Kekauluohi and her husband, and Paki. com'- out with a double canoe to carry us to the shore. There we met with the king and the remaining chiefs. Some of the high chiefs made immediate preparations for our breakfast—provided a long table, and filled it with such food and such variety as would suit almost any one's palate. And when we were seated—the king and Auhea sitting with us -they served as waiters, using a kahili with much more activity than s common native, and appeared more pleased with the privilege of serving than of being served. It reminded us of what we had heard of ancient Hawaiian hospitality, when Kaahumanu used the kahili to brush away the flies from Nahienaena. After breakfast we were conducted to the large two story dwelling of Hoapili near the meeting-house, which had been previously fitted up for us, and of which we took possession, and kept it until we were ready to return, which was about four weeks. The tendency of such respect shown to the children, was to lift them up and render them rebellious. But our fears were not realized, though at times they felt uneasy under restraint. The children "Sunday, November Ist, was the day for the dedication of the new Portu guese Chinch, and a large crowd gather ed to hear the addresses. The church is quite large, ami the interior is arranged so that there may be four rooms, or by raising the partitions they may all be thrown into one, allowing a seating capacity of 600. The services were impressive, and commanded the attention of everyone present. When the appeal was made for funds there were numerous liberal donations, one of $250 and another ot $60 by a young son of W. A. Bowen. The amount raised through cash and pledged subscriptions was $ 1,636, This more than covers the amount stated in the Treasurer's report as being needed. Religious work among the Portuguese had advanced steadily in Hawaii until to day it shows beneficial results. It was not many years ago that the Mission started in an humble way, and to day the Portuguese Church ranks among the largest denominations.

Bowen, who has been active in the affairs of the church since the beginning, spoke as follows: "Although it is the regular custom in this mission to take up a collection, yet it is hoped that the collection at the time of this dedicatory service may be of unusual amount and character. It is naturally suggested by the IMStipplied needs, as just named by Mr. Cooke, for the Building Committee, in turning over this new building for the uses of the Portuguese mission, to Pastor Soares, Superintendent under the Hawaiian Board. "It must be remembered this movement was not for the building of a church alone, but for the increasing of our opportunity for usefulness in secular instruction as well. Therefore, the need may be briefly stated as follows: To complete the payment of outstanding bills for the erection of this building will require $1,000, and to provide for insurance, fencing and the changing of old church into the much needed school building and furnishing same with seats will take $5. >o more, thus making a present necessity of about $l,.r>0(), ex- r clusive of a certain $2,500 so faithful in their attendance.

"Among the reasons advanced by Judge Hartwell for prompt action in the matter of annexation, was the constant increase in the number of Japanese arriving here. 'There are,' he said 'five Japanese immigration companies in Honolulu, and unless there is a material change, these societies will soon run the country.' "—P C. Advertiser, Nov. 28. Since the native Hawaiians have dwindled to less than 40,000, and Hawaii is evidently destined to become re plenished by a large foreign population, it must be the earnest desire of wise and patriotic men that this impottant central group of the Pacific should become occupied by the Christianized white race, rather than by Asiatics. It may be possible for a planter who thinks only of immediate dividends to desire the continued importation of Asiatic contract laborers. But every patriotic citi zen of Hawaii, who desires her destiny to be a noble one, must crave annexation to the United States as speedily as may be, in order to bar out this influx of Asiatics and determine our future as a home of the white race.

Through Mr. John W. Foster, Col. Spalding asked for an additional exclusive privilege for landing cables in Hawaii to connect with Japan and Australia. He asks for no change or extension of time for arrangements with respect to his existing exclusive privilege for landing a cable from the American coast. On the 1 4th, the President and Cabinet held an important conference upon the subject with leading business men of Honolulu. The opposition to the proposed grant of exclusive privilege was very decided, and nearly unanimous. Messrs. L. A. Thurston and John W. Foster stated to the conference the reasons for the grant. Mr. Foster was notified on the 17th, that the Government was unable to comply with Col. Spalding's request, but hoped for his success in building the line originally proposed to Hawaii, . — RECORD OF EVENTS. — - - - �94 . [December, 189^ THE FRIEND.

He is a man of much ■tiirdiness of character, and one from whom we expect good work. On November '.:9th Rev. G. L. Kopa was ordained as pastor of the church at Waimea, Kauai. He has already served a Long pastorate there and achieved the bringing together of a church. Much credit is due him as a patient and pain staking minister. Rev. S. Kaili has been settled at Hanalei, Kauai, and still Mr. Lydgate writes for two more men, one for Koloa, and the other for Lihue. After nearly three years of service in connection with our Board, Messrs. S. Kaiul.t and K. Kguchi have returned to Japan, their native land. Mr. Kguchi goes to care for his aged father who is ill. Mr. Kanda expects soon to return and renew his work at Kohala. He has shown himself to bean able and a faithful missionary to his people in that district, and is much respected by the white residents who have given him his support. He has had the pleasure of seeing a chapel built for the congregaIt is said that he tion he has collected. himself has assumed the debt of $200 which remains on It. If so, he ought in time to be reimbursed. During his stay at Makaweli, Mr. Kguchi has done good work. He has established two Sunday services and two week day evening schools for the Japan ese. The attendance at the meetings have averaged about twenty-five, the baptisms have numbered eighteen. He returns to Japan with our sincere respect. Mr. T. Yamazaki of Lihue, the onlyother Japanese evangelist on Kauai, will now add the Makaweli perish to his own. The Key. J. Waiamau, pastor of Kaumakapili Church of this city, was taken quite seriously ill last Monday, Nov. 2Sld. The attack was of a paralytic nature, but fortunately not so severe but that the doctor expects his reasonable recovery. Mr, Waiamau is easily the Nestm of the Hawaiian pulpit. He is a man of much ability anil soundness ot judgment. His counsels have more than once prevailed in the conferences of the churches at times when there was great need of wisdom. He belongs in that sturdy group of men whom father Alexander trained for the Hawaiian pulpit, to which such men as Kek.ihuna, Nawahine, and Manase belong. As a loyal supporter of thepresent government he has encountered the ill will of a portion ol his people. ThtS has been an embarrassment to him in his work and he has of late suffered from a lack of hearty support. It is said that at least SMIO are due him on his salary. Dauhtless these troubles have weighed heavily upon him. Indeed we have known him at times to be in actual need of the necessaries of life. While giving our sympathy it is a time when friendly aid should not be withheld from him and when all his tines should be paid. The North Pacific Missionary Institute Again. Last month this page was taken up by an earnest appeal from the pen of Mr. Leadingham in the interest of the North Pacific Missionary Institutemore teachers were called for and also an endownment fund. The much needed endowment has not yet been secured, but the te.icher has. Rev. O. H. Gulick of the Japanese mission has been asked to take a class, and he has consented to do so. It is understood that his department will be Old Testament history and exegesis with probably a little theology thrown in. We congratulatethe school on this addition to its faculty. In such a school as this, the individuality of the teacher counts for a great deal. He is a religious guide, where not only learning, hut goodness is needed; where the power of a holy example goes further than the acuteness of a brilliant mind. Pupils need to get into touch with their teachers and feel the strength of their characters. They need close, wise counsels. It was thus the missionary fathers trained some of the best men of the Hawaiian pulpit. Mr. Bicknell's most potent influence was a personal one. With his thorough understanding of the nature and language of the Ha waiians, his apt knowledge of the Bible and sanctified common sense, we believe that Mr. Gulick is peculiarly fitted to instruct the students of the Institute.- 95 Wilh Parker, the Robertson of the Ha waiian pulpit, as the lecturer on sermonising, and L—dinghsni the instructor in English and general guide of the Hawaiians into its religious wealth, and now Gulick, Dr. Hyde must feel that he is well supported The valuable service which for years he has rendered this Institute, ought long ago to have been thus supplemented. It but remains to secure the aid of Dr. Hingham as lecturer on missions, and that of the leading native pastors in the delivery of lectures on special subjects, to make the entire curriculum of ihe school very attractive and complete. That Old Leak. The following letter from Capt. Garland to Mr. P. C. Jones, chairman of the Morning Star Committee, and dated Hutaritari, July 1 fith, gives the latest news from Micronesia and from the "Star." "Dear Sir: We arrived here yesterday morning, eighteen days from Honolulu. We find Mr. Walkup here, he having just arrived from a trip through the group. He reports the outlook brightening for mission work. Dancing is on the wane at this island. The king has abolished it altogether. The Star leaks more than ever. The first few days out we had a strong wind and a rough sea and were obliged to pump full)' six hours out of the twenty four. As the sea got smoother the leak lessened, until now it is about as at the last voyage. "When we get back from Ruk to Kusaie, most of the cargo will be out. I shall then probably get the stern out on a sand bank and look again for the leak. By going into the shaft alley as far aft as we can get, we can hear a stream of water running in. It sounds large. It is so near the stern post we cannot tell on which side it is. As the stern comes out of the water we hope to be able to locate the leak; otherwise all is going well with us. Yours truly, Geo. F. Garland. Ewa Plantation is about to occupy 1300 acres more of upland, partly above its present fields in the east part of Honouliuli, and partly in Waimanalo on the western side. In order to irrigate the new acreage, twelve new artesian wells with powerful pumps are to be located a quarter of a mile further up than any oi the present wells. For the purpose of making this enlargement, $260,000 moTe of the Stock is to be issued and paid for at par, making the whole capital $1,000 000. �THE FRIEND. 96 | December, 1896. to what to do with itself, and whether it quickening into new life of many who amounts to anything after all ! ! ! had grown cold.

During course of city extension has mainly been eastward towanls Punahou, and up the slopes of Punchbowl. There is still a large amount of vacant space in that direction, although every section therehas now been invaded by new dwellings. There are nearer the center considerable sections still untouceed. The iarg est and best of these is the tract lying between Liliha Street and the Insane Asylum, which is as yet an unbroken stretch of taro patches of perhaps 150 acres. A continuation across this tract, at some not distant future, >f Vineyard, School an,l Kuakini Streets, will open a region of very desirable building ground, fanned by the breeze from Nuuanu Valley, which is much cooler than that over the eastern or Waikiki side of the city. Within the above designated sections east and north from the Post Office, ,more than twice the present population of the city can be accommodated without crowding. We may safely predict that within 25 years the space will all be needed. Doubtless an extended system of city railway will then ramifyto all portions thereof. Due provisions for light and water supply with sewerage, will also be made. There will be abundance of work for a strong municipal government. The external change in the city will be great, yet less than during the past twenty years. Letter From Rev. Arthur H. Smith. Pang Chaung, Shantung, China, | October 25th, 189G. , Key. S. B. Bishop, D.D. Pear Sir: —I think it is just about a year since I wrote you soon after my return to China, and I am reminded of the islands and their interests by the recent arrival of the report of the Hawaiian Hoard, as well as that of the "Cousins' Society." The Corresponding Secretary encloses a slip in the latter wanting to know whether the reports are received regularly, and appends the singular interrogation, 'would you prefer not to have them sent any longer ?' Of course I cannot speak for the genuine blue blood bred-in-the-bone cousins, but being only an appendix and an accidental afterthought, 1 should be glad to have my copy continued —thank you, if it were only for the tender and graceful notices of the various members living and dead, this time from the loving pen of •L. B. C It is a strange contradiction of modern scientific dicta as to the survival of the most fit, that a society such as this, which is doing more good to the square inch than almost any other of which I happen to have any knowledge, is always in an attitude of interrogation as and while there was no particular bright spot at any one point, there was a feeling abroad that China must in some way benefit by so vast and so humiliating a snub from littlejapan. Theswortlfish had demolished the whale, which was only allowed to go into business again because it was necessary to have so large an oil producer kept out of the general market. A year has passed, full of uneasiness, as is the modern lot of all empires, kingdoms, yea, and Republics Hawaii possibly excepted and we are no nearer to any definite solution of the Chinese problem than we were at the close of the war. China lacks manythings, but she has an over supply ot that 'dumb stupidity' against which according to Schiller, even the Gods are powerless. For thirty years she has been playing off one country against another, and with a fine ignoring of the most significant lessons of modem organization and progress, the 'Powers' have failed to cooperate, anil so at this end of the Asiatic continent as at the other, the balance of power has been with the weakest. Meanwhile the slow but deadly Russian bear creeps ever southward, and it has come to be generally understood that the only reason whyhe refrains from slicing bits of China here and there, is because he expects not long hence to get the whole of the northern part! If the English press in China is to be believed, English influence is on tbe wane in the east. But there are still those who darkly intimate that the only object Great Britain has in getting its nose between the teeth of her enemy, is that thereby there may be got the better leverage to hurl him to the earth ! From the missionary point of view the past year has been a prosperous one in all the missions of which we happen to hear. Large and helpful conventions have been held in the interest of Christian endeavor, and also of the studentvolunteer movement, in Shanghai, Foochow, Chefoo, Tientsin and Peking. The attendance of native preachers and members to whom this is an entire novelty has been large, and the effect has been most stimulating in many ways. It would seem that the age of conventions has now arrived in China, by which many and important results must be brought about. In our little station, where we have but two preaching missionaries, a doctor and three single ladies, we have had considerable expansion, and good promise of more 1 think about sixty have been baptized since the Ist of January, and twice as many received on a probation—like that of our Methodist friends —which is never less than six months, and may extend to years. But more important than this we reckon the — — within six months, and in each case with unwonted promise of speedily getting a wide and favorable hearing. The board has been obliged to reduce our appropriations, bvt we have ventured to launch out into the deeper waters, trusting that the Lord will show us a way to keep his work alive, so far as it is ours so to do. I cherish the memory of the few months spent in ihe Hawaiian Islands, as among the most enjoyable of my life. I believe there are no better people to be found on the planet than theie, and that a large part of the planet has been directly or indirectly benefitted by them. Very Sincerely Yours, Aktiu'K H.

E)ur new year of '97 has come in iling after the storm. May this be a sage of better days for Hawaii after disquiet of the past decade. May our readers all enter the new year with high and joyful resolve to make a good record of duty and service. Let us live consciously under the clear and loving eye of God, who sorrows for our sins and rejoices in our efforts to JANUARY. corresponding to ours in native faculty, and in receptive sensibility, tho marred by no evil inclinations, no hidden tendencies to wrong wailing development; a life subject, like ours, to laws of growth, and dependent, like ours, on conditions of culture; needing the ministry of human tuition, and the silent discipline of the Divine training, while always answering to both with a purity and wisdom elsewhere unapproached; a life exemplary to the world, tho and because celestial suggestions breathe upon it. It is a child life, which serenely and unobtrusively appears, indicating that life as honored in the heavens, and lilting our hearts to the sun: expectation that infants beloved, going forth from our households, shall be instantaneously welcomed and at home in the supreme realms. A glory falls thus on the Inn and the Manger, which belongs to no cradle of princes in palaces, to no purple chambers in which imperial life was be gun; while, at the same time, the midand shining mj,ht song, and the angelic companies, swift and worshipful, reveal the illustrious levels of life from which this child-life has come forth, and toward which evermore afterward it tends. Some men stumble, while others adore, before the miracle of the Advent. Except for that miracle, the birth of a common Jewish babe in a village of Judea would have been among the most insignificant of events in the annals of mankind. With that, and through it. the heavens become proximate, lumi nous, .illuring, to the heart of the world. K. S. Storrs. 1897 Number 1 Palama Chapel Christmas Entertainment. Some SOfl people crowded the Chapel on the evening of the 21 st. The interior was finely decorated with palm leaves, maile, ferns and Hags. There was an opening exercise of songs and recitations ■B seventeen parts, after which ice cream and cakes were served by a number of Kamc-hameha students. A Christmas tree in the corner was then uncurtained, decorated with tapers and strings of popcorn. A large quantity of presents were distributed. A great amount of successful work has been done in Palama district by Rev. J. M. Lewis and his corps of workers, and a strong Sundayschool with its adjuncts shows the fruits. The Japanese Church made a special the eve of Christmas day. Their house was beautifully decorated. The Japanese stores contributed liberally, and a large distribution of presents was made.

It is seriously contended by several ol our religious exchanges that football is so essentially violent and brutal th it it l'be should be forbidden by law. Interior goes so far as to maintain that Boxing matches are decent in comparj son. Is this so? It seems to us to show a lack of due discrimination. The essence of a boxing match is violence. It consists entirely in the two men administering to each other blows of the utmost violence, until one of them succumbs, being overcome by the punishment received from the weight and force of the other.man's lists. Brutal violence is the essence o! the game The delight of the spectators is found in observing the destructivi of the blows upon the human frame. Whatever injurious violence occurs in football is accidental, and not at all of the essence of the game, which is on id skill and activity and not of intentional If imm ual injury to the opponent violence is practised by any ol th< players, it is not a legitimate part ol the game. Here is a proper question: Is the nature of the game such that the tendency to injurious violence is too strong to be resisted by human nature as found in college students? If so the game should be prohibited as dangerous and brutalizing. Again, Is it not practi cable to make rules checking the evil tendency by making such severe in try a "foul" which will give the game to the side so injured? It is held by friends of the gann with apparent force of truth, that it is highly adapted to develop the manly qualities of courage, alertness, and lis ciplined unity of action. Are the bodily injurious incidental to the game BO great and frequent as to he too high a price to pay for the manly discipline? Facts from the Census. It is found that the entire population of the Hawaiian group has increased from 89,990 in 1890, to 109,009 m Mid, or over 11 percent. There are 7U.510 males to 36,494 females, one sex being nearly double the other. The excess is of course chi- 'iy c due to the large importations ol Asiatic laborers.

She was accompanied by Mrs. Kia Nahaolelua, and Jos. Ileleluhe. her private Secretary. The extreme secrecy ol her movement may easily be accounted I'm by a proper desire to escape any public demonstration. An hour he-tore sailing she called on President Dole to sa\ guild bye and thank him for the full pardon sent to her six weeks before, which left her free to go where she pit ased. The tx queen had been living in great quiet and seclusion since her re'ease a year ago from partial imprisonment in her former palace on account of compli city in the insurrection of 1896 She had voluntarily and very formally abdicated the throne on the "J-tth of January IS.li, and had taken the oath of allegiance to the Republic, which acts di fine her present political status as a simple citizen of the Republic of Hawaii.

As such, what she may see fit to urge should receive due consideration . Why the Natives need Annexation.

These efforts have been to a i onsiderable degree successful, although .t large body of native Hawaiian*, especially thosi ol the most intelligence and character, desire the success utmost tht measure. Why should they desire it? The answel is, because the native Hawaiians, than any other class, need the protection pi the United .States against the overbearing force ol the stronger races who outnumber them. The Polynesian is relatively B very weak race, as compared with Europeans and Monnt gooids. and need a Strong protection. What is likely to be the status of the Hawaiian, should the Islands continue as now, .t nominally independent government? There would continue to be a painful conflict between the sentimental claim of the natives to rule as being the original owners ol the country, and the practical neci ssity that the capable white race should do the ruling. The whites will have to rule, and will rule, whatever Hawaiian sentiment may call for, simply because the latter is incapable of handling the needs and exigencies of the civilization and commerce of this great central station of the glowing Pacific traffic. Unless the Hawaiian should cordially submit to take a back seat, which is unlikely, the ceitain tendency will be for the whites to force him back by the strong hand, to the serious detriment of his fl am Inses and i lghts. The stronger and dominant nice will certainly tolerate no unskilled tampering with the great �Janury, 1897.

He will be under lasting and assured protec tion. All tendency to conflict will cease, because in exchange for this acquired dignity and protection, the Hawaiian will have absolutely surrendered and lost all claim of exclusive right to rule, which has hitherto created collision, in which the native fares the worst. By all means let every true friend of the natives counsel them to seek shelter in the safe harbor of citizenship in the Great Union. They are a kindly and gentle, but a weak and wasting race, unfit to breast the storms of this open and tempestuous sea of so-called Inde pendence. Whatever might befall the stronger races in Hawaii, the natives will be sure to go under in the conflict. The Boston Sunday Post, prints a preposterous story about the intention of the Princess Kaiulani Cleghorn to come to Hawaii and starve herself as a propitiation to the fire goddess Pele. Miss Cleghorn is known as an estimable and sensible young lady, worthy of her ten years choice Christian training in England, whither she was wisely re moved in childhood, away from the hideous impurities and sorceries of her uncle Kalakaua's court, which ruined so many thousands of youthful Hawaiians of both sexes. The young Princess may be presumed to be entirely free from the degrading superstition imputed to her. New Church at Lahaina. Hon. Henry P. Baldwin of Maui has caused his father's old church at Lahaina to be replaced by an elegant modern structure costing about $10,000. The main auditorium is 40 by 66 feet, with gallery at the rear end. The roof is steep pitched with low eaves. The old Wainee church which this replaces was burned about three years ago. It was a massive stone structure, built in 1831 when Rev. William Rich ards was the resident missionary. Rev. Dwight Baldwin M. D. succeeded him in 1836, and preached in the old church for 36 years. The native population of Lahaina has declined from 4000 to a few hundreds. The town has become mainly absorbed by a prosperous sugar plantation. The magnificent beach and delicious sea breeze indicate a future for Lahaina as a health resort. It was the favourite residence of Royalty fifty and sixty years ago. From 1830 to IrSGO its beautiful roadstead was the resort of Sarah B. Cooper. Founder's Day at Kamehameha. Mis. Wm. G.

FBRAYNK GODFREY. There has long been needed information in a compact form, serviceable to passengers in transit, to enable them to put in their few hours on shore in sightseeing to the best advantage. The above named handbook will serve this purpose. It aiso contains a good amount ot general and precise informa tion about these islands. The book contains 8«i pages, including 32 pages of advertisements, and eight pages of illustrations. The information given is accurate, as might he expected from the very experienced compiler. The only error noticed is in the first paragraph which says,"The Hawaiians are supposed to be of Aryan stock migrating from Asia Minor." For "Aryan" put " Malaysian," and "Asia Minor" put Farther India." Physiognomy distinguishes Polynesians from Aryans as markedly as from Mongolians, but identifies them as congeners of interior tribes of Sumatra who are free from that Mongoloid mixture of blood, which has altered most of the Malay tribes.

S. E. Bishop. In Memoriam. On the 30th of last June, at Hutai lt.ti i. Rev. J. W. Kanoa, the first Hawaiian missionary to the Gilbert Islands entered into his eternal rest after the longest residence of any evangelist m Micronesia, He was born in Kehena, a small village on the rocky coast of Puna, Hawaii, in 1823. He received his education principally in Hilo. Here he early won the respect and confidence of his teachers. Zealous to have a share in the new en terprise of carrying the gospel to the benighted heathen of the regions beyond, he was appointed a missionary to Micronesia by the Hawaiian Misi Society in 1855. At the parting exer cises, held in the evening before sailing in the old Bethel, he stated the reason for his going. "The Friend" foi June, 1866, reports his words as follows, "The cause of my going out on this mission is on account of very exceeding great debt to the kingdom of God. 1 have land and cattle and horses and parents and brethren, and I have looked on all these things, but they will not cancel my debt: therefore I give my whole body and soul without reserve for their salva. tion, because this treasure was freelygiven to us; therefore we freely give Noble words without murmuring." these. He sailed on the 24th of May of that year, from Honolulu, with his wife Kaholo, and a young son, for Kusaie, the easternmost of the Caroline Islands. in company with Dr. and Mrs. Pierson, in the American whaling barque "Belle," Capt. Handy. On their way the "Belle" passed leisurely through the Gilbert and Marshall Islands, cruising for whales This and trading for cocoanut oil. afforded the missionary party an opportunity to gain some acquaintance with the inhabitants of these two groups. In the course of the cruise aho-.it two weeks were spent on shore by them at Apaiang, Where they met sonic of tin high chiefs, and thus in a measure prepared tin \ iv lor the introduction of the Gospel to that people in 18*7. They reached Kusait- in Oct., IS')"), and were residing there in l!S. >7, when the Morning Star arrived, The writer then met hun for the first time. Two Gilbert Islanders, Marie and his wife, Tekaoti, had been providentially picked up, when adrift at sea, by a Vessel, and had been landed on Kusaie. From them Kanoa and his wife had learned a few Gilhertese words and sentences, with the hope thai day they might be permitted to carry the Gospel to the Gilbert Islands. On the itith of September, IS, >7. Mis. Bingham and myself were designated by the Micronesian Mission, convened at Ponape, to cninineiice the work m the Gilbert Islands, Eleven lays later Mr. and Mrs. Kanoa were designated to the same field, and on the 18th ol November, 1857, we landed at the cap ital of Apaiang, were welcomed by the old king, Teniaua. and his popular and powerful son. Kaiea, and that day we secured a site lor building neai Koina Wa. I louses lor the two families were soon erected, and in January, 1868, We began little schools for the children who came about us. In June we hail made a translation ot the Lord's prayer, which was used for the first time, m the lit st public services held in Gilbertese, June 27, 1858. On this occasion Kanoa aided in speaking. On Apaiang we labored side by side, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, until June, lstil, when failing health compelled me to leave our brethren Kanoa anil other Hawaiian mission;tries in charge of the station. A lew converts hatl been bap ti/ed, and gathered into a church, Mat thew, KphesMiis and nearly all of John and a snies ol Bible Stories bail been printed on Apaiang, and three quarters vi the New Testament. I was gone three years, but during r r I lis first wife 1875, having been the mother of only two survive hun. died in eleven children. The memory ol my dear friend and fellow laborer KanOa is very sweet. A willing helper, he did what he could tn ..id in the introduction to and maintain.nue ut the Gospel among I heathen pet.pie. In the rough work of touring without beasts of burden from village to village, and in sailing from island to island ill mil open boat, he did not shrink. Sell colli ted, cautious, kind, observant, courageous, industrious, active, he was ever a comfort to us, in peiils among warlike people and olten drunken savages, in perils on the deep, .a\d in the loneliness o( defenseless ex isolation.

But we would not call him back. After more than forty years of voluntary exile from his native shores, save three brief visits, and of earnest labor for the heathen, he has gone to his reward at the ripe age of 73 years, and is now doubtless in the presence of his Master with many of the redeemed who first heard from his lips the story of Jesus and His love. The memory of the just is blessed." Hikam Bingham. " Mr. Eganu, of Waihee and Wailuku, writes: "Last Sunday (Nov. if>th), Dr. E. G. Beekwith gave most solemn bap tism to four (Japanese). There were ten seekers, and six were asked to wait for further experience." Mr. Uyeda, pastor of the Japanese church in Hilo, Hawaii, reports that since he began work a little over a year ago, he had baptized 23 persons, three of them being women, all of whom have united with the church. Mrs. Uyeda assists him in his parish work. Mr. S. Sokabe, who has for three years been stationed as the Japanese pastor at Honomu, Hawaii, goes by the China back to Japan for a short visit of two months to his home. Mr. Sokabe's parish comprises the three plantations of Hakalau, Honomu and Pepeekeo, where is a total of about 1350 Japanese laborers. At Honomu the profit sharing system is in operation. Mr. Sokabe represents his countrymen on these plantations as having "much contentment," and also "much sake and gambling." The Sunday meetings are held at the chapel, which is in the central district, but there are weekly schools established in two adjoining districts. Mr. Sokabe reports quite a number of Japanese families and about twenty five children. It is his purpose to establish a kindergarten for them. He goes to Japan with the hope of returning with his sister as the Janury,1897. THE RRIEND ture, built in the days of the fathers, might be made much more comely and habitableand strong to stand as a memorial of the past, and as a needed land mark for the future. With the close of the year just passed the Rev. J. Waiamau closed his pastorate at the Kaumakapili church. This he was obliged to do because of HI health. This pastorate, immediately succeeding that ol the Rev. If. Kuaea, and continuing for fourteen years, has by no means been a tranquil one, for il came in a time of much agitation, pollti cal and otherwise. No Hawaiian pastor ever filled a more difficult position, and it may be added that probably none could have filled the place so well. It was during the pastorate of Mr. Waia mau that the new house of worship was built. By vote of the Oahu Association, taken at a special meeting held Dec. •28th ('96), Rev. O. H.Gulick is appointed to act temporarily as pastor till the church can be freed from debt and a new man called to the pastorate. The Rev. E. S. Timoteo, chairman of the Pastors' Aid Committee of the Association, has undertaken to raise the debt of the church. His energetic action has already secured pledges very nearlyequal to the amount necessary to pay off the retiring pastor. weapons, and in a struggle wherein morals and religion participated only as feeble allies." It may not appear that morals and religion facilitate the discovery of a star, or a law in nature, or even the achievement of a great national event; the benefit of that discovery or achievement to the world, however, is not so manifest until it is considered in the light shed upon it by religion and morals. Tint writer in the CenturyMagazine a lew years ago comes nearer the heart and soul of history when he says that in this World of mechanical achievement, that only is progress which is associated with and presided over bycertain very rigid forces known as moral and spiritual. Had that was a noble Confession of Professor Mhegard, of the University of Copenhagen, and formerlyknown as "the apostle of atheism in Denmark," that when the tempests of life had plunged him in sorrow, "the apostle of atheism in Denmark," "the cable of science broke like a thread;" and that when he had found peace in God, he did not abandon science, but "assigned to it another place in life."

To all the rest is to be added the abundance of fruit trees and luxuries of which we know nothing in Jaluit, such as clear spring water, fresh milk, and fresh butter. "In short, it must be acknowledged that, with .he help of the magnificent natural advantages of Kusaie, the leaders of the mission have done everything to make the stay of their pupils with them and their education pleasant. The instruction, too, is given in an earnest, judicious manner, and the female teachers especially made a most favorable impression by their strict and yet friendly demeanor toward the girls. The neat dresses of the pupils, their unconstrained joyousness, and their healthy appearance show that careful attention is paid to their physical well-being." Report of Chinese Mission Sabbath Schools. The following interesting report 11 was read among the reports before the Central Union Church, by Mr. Frank W. Damon, Superintendent of the Chinese Mission. It is not the object of this brief report to outline the general work of the Chinese Mission, which in all its departments, receives, through the Hawaiian Board, such kind and generous aid from this church. This will be done in the report made annually to theBoard. I will here, however, make special notice of the good work of our different Chinese Sabbath schools, which an appropriation from this church aids us materially in accomplishing. Through this, we arc enabled, in part, to furnish wtekly our Sabbath schools with illustrated papers or cards, containing the lessons of the International course, which are arranged ,n a most interesting and attractive p.ipers - �12 THE FRIEND Visit of Rev.

The brothers spent a month in the Marquesas, among whose cannibals their partnts passed six months as missionaries in 1H:.;.. They also visited Tahiti, Raiatea, the Hervey and Cook groups, Tonga, and New Zealand. James visited Samoa on his return, Sam'l having gone on with his daughter to Sydney, Brisbane, Java and Japan. Mr. Alexander's previous thorough study of the object of his travels gave him a great advantage, not less than his birth and long residence in Hawaii, and consequent familiarity with the Polynesian tongue, common to the aborigines of all the groups visited. On Sunday the 17th, in Central Union Church, Mr. Alexander lectured upon the state of religion in the South Sea Islands, taking for his text Isaiah 55:1 3, "Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir-tree, and instead of the briar the myrtle-tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off." This prophecy the speaker showed to have been notably fulfilled in the results of Gospel labors begun a century ago in the South Pacific bythe London Missionary Society. The fruits of those labors are especially prosperous in Rarotonga, Aitutaki, and Tonga, which have not been ravaged by the detrimental influen ces of commerce. There the social older is excellent and the population is increasing. Even in Samoa where the pressure of foreign influences is severe, the good work of the Gospel continues to prosper. In Tonga, the public good order is excellent. The people are all settled upon allotments ol land, all which is owned bythe King, to whom they each pay an annual rent, which constitutes the onlyThe Government finances are tax. flourishing, and the people contented. The condition of the Marquesas Islands has always been deplorable, and continues so under the French rule, which had prevented continuance of work by the London Missionary Society, although three Hawaiian missionaries had continued to labor in a humble, but faithful manner. The treatment of the natives by the gens d'armes is violent and oppressive. They are a stalwart race, apparently averaging six feet in height. The beautiful valleys are numerous and fertile, capable of supporting ten times their present population, wasted by pestilences. Some of the nuns are most devoted women, but a majority of of them are doing good work in schools, which are required to be taught in the French language. They have learned this in Tahiti. Each of these veteran laborers has a large number of natives under their personal influence and joining in their worship. They were most affectingly delighted at the visit from the sons of their old teacher at Lahainaluna. Mr. Alexander's discourse was enrich ed by many brief but finely worded dcs criptions of the marvellous splendors of tropical vegetation, such as our merely sub tropical Hawaii cannot rival. Tahiti is a gem of beauty. A forty mile drive on the "Broom" road was through an Eden of loveliness.

Mr. Rudolf Hering, the expert employed to devise a system for the sewerage of Honolulu, has decidtd that the proper disposition of the sewage will be to discharge it into the sea through a pipe extending into deep water beyond the reef.

Perhaps that will be what is needed. Such motors are favorably reported on in New York and other cities. For our narrow streets crowded with telephone and electric light wires, the addition of trolley-wires for electric motors seems impracticable. The need is fast increas ing of an improvement upon the present system of mule traction for street cars in Honolulu. A door of hope seems opening in the use of compressed air. Yesterday is yours no longer; to-morrow may be never yours; but to-day is yours, the living present yours, and in the living present you may stretch forward to the things that are before.— F. W.

On the following day the HAWAIIAN BOABJB. - Governor and I visited the Star and brought on shore with us 3 cases or boxes, of New Testaments in the Ponape language. But the supply was not at all equal to the demand; many had to go away without one. In fact in X ss than two weeks all were non est. The Matalanmi, and Mants tribes, are specially ctger for a supply. During the outbreak in Matalanim, all books were burnt up by the Spanish soldiery, consequently they need a fresh supply. On the Hth of September last all Christian friends were invited to attend the dedication of a new Protestant Church which has just been built in Matalanim; there was indeed a good attendance, christians from all parts of the island came to offer up their devotions to God. It was truly a yrand and solemn affair. Our good Christian work still continues to go or. as hitherto. Our day and Sunday schools, prayer meetings &c. are well attended. Of course we have many drawbacks to contend ag ain.t in not having an ordained minister to aid and help us along in our good work, we can only go so far and no further. We are however, doing our very best to keep our people in line; fathers, mothers, grandmothers and children, read and study the book, the word of God; and I verily believe that if they were deprived of this pleasure and privilege they would pine away and die off. The Mants and Matalanim tribes, are also doing good and effective work. With two such able christian teachers as William, and Joseph, good results are inevitable. I regret to state that our good Governor has been recalled to Manila. We are sorry he has gone. He was indeed a good man, and a good Catholic. His views of things seemed to be on a much broader scale than others who have preceded him. He was a very liberal minded man, no bigotry about him, he was greatly in favor of our cause, and did all in his power to help us along in our Christian work. As a matter of course the priests were exceedingly wroth and indignant at such revolutionary conduct, and commenced to stir up and make trouble for the old gentleman; but he being made of the right kind of stuff, was not to be shaken in what he considered to be right and just. He never in his life before came in contact with American missionaries, ladies and gentlemen, and was almost petrified with astonishment at their kind hospitality, and affable maniners. We are sorry he has been taken away from amongst us. He ruled wisely and well. May God bless him'is the earnest wish of all Ponapeans. Our present Governor is I dare say a good man too. He is very civil, and very quiet. I wish to say that Spanish officers bought up a lot of those New Testaments. I am Sir, Yours Sincerely, Henry Nammj. �16 [February, 1897.

They are not much moved by the fear of hell nor the hope of heaven. They want to make the world better, and to do it now. They would avoid sin because it degrades character. They do not much emphasize a dread of the wrath of God because of sin, etc. We have not written these things for the sake either of congratulation or criticism, but to point out what appears to be the present attitude of the churches." A correspondent of the Pacific strong ly commends this attitude of the churches. He says: " That the clergy who teach, and the church which learns, do not think now about the wrath oi God, about heaven and hell, about retribution and reward, as in days of yore." He says much more that is important and true as to the change in religious thought, and the value of such change. Our sympathies are stiongly with much in this change, and the real progress involved, and with the greater efficiency given thereby to the work of saving men by bringing them to God in Jesus Christ. At the same time, as in all periods of change, errors and excess es appear.

Death of Warren Goodale. Mr. Goodale was, from thirty to fifty ye*rs ago, one of the prominent and most esteemed citizens of Honolulu. For many years he had resided on Maui and Hawaii. Visiting his former home, he was suddenly called from earth among old scenes and old friends. Warren Goodale was born at Marlborough Mass., July 2, 1826, a scion of fne Oddest and worthiest families of that tOwn. His father was Deacon Goodale, a brother of the late pioneer missionary, Mrs. Lucy Goodale Thurston. Warren, iVtien near the close of his college course at Williams, was compelled to leave by weakness of the eyes. He came out to H'Otlorulu before ihe mast in the ship Minstrel, arriving here in lnt7. He Was speedily employed by Mr. Amos F. Cooke in the Royal School for young chiefs, where he won ihe esteem of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, and formed a strong attachment to the young chiefs, particularly for Alexander Liholiho, afterwards Kamehameha IV. Mr. Goodale was one of the active •urveyors employed in the general allot- ment of lands, and was for some time Connected with the Interior office. He Visited his home in 185.', when he was united to the very lovely woman to Whom he had long been betrothed. The ybung couple arrived here late in 1862, and soon united by letter with the newly organized Fort Street Church. Mr. Goodale resumed his place in the Inte rl6r office. He was subsequently appointed Marshal of the Kingdom. Upon the resignation of C. R. Bishop, he became Collector of Customs, which Office he held for many years. After the death of his wife in 1862, he went to the Stares, where he entered the army, Serving for eleven months as captain of a cbmpany until the close of the war. He subsequently returned to these islands, finding employment as manager upon different sugar plantations. He lately retired from active life and lived with his son, William W Goodale. the manager of the Papaikou plantation, near Hilo. He had latterly been suffering from disease of the heart. On the evening of the 20th ult. Mr. Goodale attended the monthly meeting ol the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society at He was cheerful and Judd's. interested, although manifestly eeply suffering from his malady. He had been the third President of the Society Justice inW4. He was out for the last time on the evening of Washington's birthday, at a meeting of tHe Sons of the American Revolution, at the house of P. C. Jones. He there conversed heartily, and seemed in excellent spirits. Just before taking his leave at 11:10 p.m. Mr. W. R. Castle alluded to the close vicinity of his old home in adjoining premises. This seemed to strike tender thoughts. He left the house, but in a few moments a messenger brought word that Mr. Goodale had fallen dead at the corner of Nuuanu street —not three hundred feet from where his wife died thirty five years before. Our brother was a man of the purest and noblest character. Unblemished, without enemies or detractors, greatly beloved, he also was an earnest follower of the Savior, and has departed from earth with an assured hope of eternal life The funeral was held on the 24th 11 It. in Central Union Church, the Masonic boclies attending the remains to the Nuuanu cemetery, and conducting the closing exercises. Besides the son with his family at Papaikou, Mr. Goodale left two sons in Montana, and two daughters in Massachusetts A sister is the wife of Mr. George Beckwith of Haiku, Maui. Mrs. Persis G. Taylor and other descendants of Mrs. Lucy Thurston also reside here. Mr. Goodale's last labor wasuponthe preparation of Reminiscenses of Old Honolulu for the Historical Society, having dictated to a type-writer for ■everal hours in the afternoon. The Gown in the Pulpit. About the gown, we side with Mr. Home and the Outlook in the following paragraph. Italics are ours. For "ritualism," better say "sacerdotalism." As a result, we believe, of a paper read before the recent meeting of the Congregational Union at Leicester, a discussion has been in progress in the columns of the "Christian World" on "Worship in the Noncomformist Churches." The paper was presented by Dr. Barrett, the well-known pastor of Norwich, and advo cated the use i.l a modified liturgy and the wearing of a gown. The argumtnt, in brief, is this: The strain on the minister which a service of entirely free prayer involves is altogether too great. Hither the service of worship or the sermon must suffer. The immense relief which the introduction ol the servicebook has brought to the ministry of the Scottish Kirk was used as an illustration. The discussion has also had larger bear ings. It has led to an earnest appeal for greater reverence in the sanctuary, for the lifting of every department of worship to a higher level, and for the popularizing of the service by giving the people a larger share in it. One of the best articles of the discussion was that of the Rev. Silvester Home, in which he drew a sharp distinction between using a [March, 1897. liturgy and wearing a gown. The using of the liturgy, he dtclared, was entirely democratic and Congregational. Instead of making the service more select, it induces a larger number of people to take part in it; whereas the wearing of a gown emphasizes the distinction between the clergy and the laity, and is really the beginning ofritualism. With the desire to popularize and make more reverent the service we are in hearty accord. Whatever will induce the people to have a larger share in it and more reverently to worship God is earnestly to be commended. The distinction which Mr. Home makes is a true one. A liturgy is a step toward congregationalizing the worship, but the wearing of a gown has always seemed to us to be more than an appropriate pulpit dress and actually a badge of office. Whatever serves to interest the people in the whole service is a step in advance, but whatever tends to mak.- the minister an official is to our minds a step backwards.— The Outlook. Visit of John R. Mott. Honolulu has been greatly favored by a fortnight's sojourn among us ola man of such rare spiritual endowment and gift of utterance, as John R Mott, the Secretary of the World's Students' Christian Federation. Our spirits have been greatly refreshed and kindled by his earnest and stirring words. Mr. Mott is near the end of a two years tour around the globe, with his wife, visiting the leading mission stations in Turkey. Fgypt, India, Japan and China, also colleges in Australia. His task has been to carry into Christian colleges and seminaries in those countries, the enthusiastic missionary movement which began ten years ago in the col leges ol the United States, and had extended with power to those of Canada Great Britain, and latterly to the Conti nent. Mr. Mott reports over five thousand students as having pledged thtmselves, God willing, to become fore'gn missionaries, of whom over one thousand are already in foreign fields. The organization has now become International. Mr. Mott does not boast of what he has accomplished, but he manifestly carries a wonderfully inspiring power to the hearts of Christian believers, and we expect to hear of very important results of his work in stimu- lating evangelistic activity especially among Christian students in countries like Japan and India. In a union meeting February 14th at Central Union Church, Mr. Mott made almost startling statements about the recent progress of Christian faith in American colleges. In less thau twenty years thirty thousand skeptical students have come to accept Christianity. Last �year three thousand four hundred were added to the list. Over four thousand students have been led into the ministry by the Christian societies in the colleges. Vale has six hundred in its Y. M. C. A. and two hundred in the voluntary Bible classes. Twelve yeirs ago Cornell w.is called godless. Then a Y. M. C. A. was st.rted with thirty members, now increased to five hundred, with two hundred in voluntary Bible cltsses, in which seven professors are teaching. Thirty last year gave up skepticism and accepted Christianity. In England the Inter-collegiate Christian movement was started three years ago, and the number of societies h.is increased from seventeen to sixty. Cambridge has thirty Bible classes. In 1894, sixty students in Oxford accepted Christianity, and one hundred in Cambridge. At Edinburgh University more skeptical students had accepted the Bible in the eighteen months preceding the speaker's visit than in the entire previous history of the institution. Most of them, too, were students of science. All but one of the twelve greatest living scientists of England are Christian men. This movement is already making great progress in the German universities. There are five Christian societies in the University of Berlin. The same movement is active in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. A World's Federation of these Christian College Societies was organized at a convention held in Sweden. The general object is to carry on among students of all countries of the world the study of the Bible; to teach Christ; and to build up and send men out of the colleges and universities to work for Christianity. During his visit Mr. Mott made pow. erful addresses to the students of Oahu College, and those of the Kamehameha Schools. One of his best and most important talks was given in the Methodist Church upon Secret Prayer. Those who listened seemed to be led into a clear contemplation of the glorious pos sibilities of rich and fruitful communion with God, and of receiving luminous and kindling understanding of Holy Writ, by means of systematic and devoted application to such spiritual exercise. The speaker is manifestly one who enjoys great calmness and fulness of Power from this Divine source. It is not to be doubted that many of our Christian people will have been incited to earnest and sustained effort to live nearer to God, and that they will thus develop increased spiritual power for work. Mr. Mott is evidently much worn by his labors, and needs recuperation. He is young and it may be hoped has many years of strength and fruitful activity before him. He sailed for the States on the 25th of February. 19 THE FRIEND Vol. 55, No. 3.] President Jordan---A "bad Break." Growth of Hilo Town. Dr. Jordan of Stanford University has spoken unwisely. He said "The so called revival of religion too often aims at producing a temporary mania. * Its phenomena are those of hysteria or cataleptic insanity. They repre sent a form of intoxication that is real drunkenness, and no more worthy of respect than the drunkenness of the gutter." There may be a class of spurious revivals -we have heard of such to which those words might possibly apply with putial truth. We have witnessed a number of revivals at diffeient times and places, to none of which such application could be possible. They were all characterised by the profoundest seriousness and good order—at the same time by intense emotion. The Power oi the Holy Ghost was manifest in them. As a class, the persons converted to Christ in these revivals became Christians ot high character and established piety. The churches enjoying these seasons of grace became better and stronger, more enlightened, more disciplined in good Many evidences reach us, evidencing the progress of a somewhat active and solid growth ot Hilo town, resulting mainly from the healthy agricultural development of coffee and sugar interests, in that region. A new hotel is going up, a new foreign church and a new wholesale store and warehouse for H. Ilacklejd. & Co. Besides these, a tract of land immediately north of the Wailuku stream has just been laid out and placed on the market for residences. It Stemi probable that the new wharf authorized by the legislature must soon be erected, although much difference of opinion if said to exist about its proper site. * * works. Dr. Jordan's words call to mind that skeptical utterance at Pentecost, recorded in Acts 2:13, "But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine." Since the above was in type, the following statement by Dr. Jordan has been met with : "I have never denied the helpfulness of soberly conducted revivals in which the purpose was that ot forming a Christian ideal of character. In my talk at Berkeley I had in mind solely what Dr Dille has called "The orgies of Mrs. Woodworth's followers.'' * * With the madness of these scenes religion has nothing to do."

The Manhattan Liberal Club challenged Mr. Moody to debate the relative merits of Christianity and infidelity with two leading secularists. In declining, Mr Moody gave, among others, this reason: "The times call for action, not discussion. Hundreds and thousands of men and women are dropping into drunkard's and harlot's graves every year here in New York. Now let us all join hands and try to do what we can to save them. I will try to reach them with the gospel. I will tell them of a Savior who came to seek that which was lost, who died a cruel death on the cross in order that their sins might be blotted out. If there is any merit in infidelity let your members likewise put it into practice. Let them reach out a helping hand to those unfortunates who are sunk in vice and misery. Then, when they are restored to purity of life, we shall have time to turn aside to discussion." This reply was a "body blow." What drunkard, or poor lost woman was ever reformed by infidelity? In all the ages not one.— The Pacific. Cession of Pearl Harbor Conterminous with Treaty of Reciprocity. Professor W. D. Alexander has lately refreshed the public memory by reciting the circumstances attending the cession of Pearl Harbor to the United States as a Naval Station, in December, 1884, showing that Secretary Bayard at that time informed Mr. H. A. P. Carter, the Hawaiian Minister, that he could discern in the amendment to the Treaty, which related to Pearl Harbor, "no subtraction from Hawaiian Sovereignty over the harbor to which it relates, nor any language importing a longer duration for the interpolated Article 11. (relating to the Harbor) than is provided for in Article I. of the Supplementary Convention." The Supplementary Convention was ratified by the Hawaiian Government with that understanding, that the righ.t of the United States to Pearl Harbor should end with the Treaty of Reciprocity. It follows that should the United States terminate that Treaty, and refuse Annexation, they would no longer possess any special privileges in Hawaii. �Vol. 55, No. 3.] Japanese Interest in Hawaii. It is learned from the Consul General of Japan, that his Government will soon station a war-vessel permanently in this harbor. Since Japan has 2>,000 subjects residing in Hawaii constituting 23 per cent of our population, it cannot be deemed improper that such a ship should remain here to aid in watching over their interests. At the same time it has somewhat of a menacing suggestion, and isquite in the line of the policy attributed to Japan, of aiming at a paramount influence in Hawaii, if not at the ultimate possession of the group. It is plain that this group would be of the gieatest value to anypower aiming, as Japan manifestly does, at navaland commercial superiority in the Pacific. It can hardly be doubted, however, that the United States intend to reserve that advantage to themselves. Liliuokalani in Washington. As anticipated in the January issue of The Friend, the ex-queen has been in Washington apparently for some political object. President and Mrs. Cleveland have accorded to her friendly interviews. The President owed her at least so much, after the position he took over three years ago. Perhaps Liliuokalani will have claimed more from him. The latest news is that she has publicly repudiated the abdication which she formally executed two years ago. We here are waiting for confirmation of that intelligence, and for farther indicationof her intentions. Comment is useless until more is known. In the meantime it may be said that she does the public a service by drawing attention to the Hawaiian question. Hawaiian Statesmen in Washington. Attorney-General Wm. O. Smith left for Washington February I Oth, to instruct and co operate with Minister Hatch, in respect to a possible early action of Congress upon the Annexation of Hawaii. Gen. A. S. Hartwell also went thither on the 7th, and Mr. Lorrin A Thurston on the 4th. There is thus present in Washington doubtless by this time a strong quartette of representative Hawaiians, who will do all that can be doneto promote the cause of Annexation. Messrs Hartwell and Thurston went as private individuals. THE FRIEND 21 tance as likely to replace the present awarded to Mr. A. Harrison for the sum system of Contract labor on our sugar plantations. Profit sharing has already been successfully tried at Onomea, the largest plantation on Hawaii. From ihe year's profits, ten per cent is deducted as interest on capital. Of the remaining ninety per cent, one filth is divided among all the employees pro rata with their monthly wages. The dividend thus made to employers fol several years has averaged a sum equal to one month's wages. The effect has been excellent, in increasing the diligence and carefulness of the laborers. Another system, more properly called co-operative labor, has been successful on Ewa Plantation. Sections of land are assigned to different companies of laborers, who received a fixed sum per ton of cane yielded. The plantation plants the cane, and furnishes water for irrigation. Mr. Jones expressed a decided opinion that the climate of these islands "was much more favorable to the labor of white men in the field, than the summer climate of the United Stales. He believed that a general adoption of Profit sharing would attract white men in large numbers to Hawaii, and would solve the difficulties of the Labor question. Death of the Outlaw Leper Koolau. This unhappy fugitive in the recesses of Kalalau valley, who killed Sheriff Stolz and three soldiers, died some months ago. His grave was lately found by Sheriff Coney, and the remains identified by the contents of the coffin. There were in it two guns which were positively identified as those of the outlaw. But for an insane fury, Koolau might now be living happily among his fellow lepers at their delightful asylum on Molokai. Hospital at Hilo. Plans are reported as complete for the speedy erection of a Hospital at Hilo by the Government, the building to cost $:',500. The plan has in view future enlargements by addition to the length of the building. RECOE D F VENTS. Feb.

The desire of our Japanese friends to secure an education for their children who are growing up on Hawaiian soil, is a most hopeful sign. They find that if neglected some of their children will speak a patois consisting in some cases of a mixture of the Hawaiian, English, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese languages. Such children will be unable to read or write any language. Persons growing up with such a mixture on their tongues could never rank among cultivated people in their native land. To avert such a disaster,, under the lead of our faithful evangelists, in several of our communities, distinctively Japanese The Waialua church is thinking of calling the Rev. J. M. Ezera of Kwa. The death of Mr. J. Haole of the leper settlement occurred Feb. llth. He was a good man and possessed of marked traits of character. Uncompromising in his opposition to what he believed to be ill-advised or wrong, he lived a restless life and made enemies, buj to those he approved he was a warm and loving friend. We believe that he had an unusual regard for the truth. He was a native whom we learned to esteem and love. In the following extracts from a letter from Mr. Price we have the latest news from Ruk. The chiet item is that of the removal of the mission station at Anapauo on the island of Ucla, to Kinamue on the island of Taloes. The large island of Ucla being the one nearest on the east to the northern entrance to the Ruk lagoon, or group of islands, the island of Taloes lies nrxt to it. "Soon after our return from Ponape I The Japanese at Honomu, in North went over to Kutue on the island of TaHilo, having, through the energy of our loes to hold a service with the people started. schools have In the lot on Kukui street, adjoining the parsonage, the Japanese ot Honolulu maintain, at their own expense, a flourising afternoon school of thirty five scholars; the most of them being children who have graduated from the Kindergarten, and who are, during the forenoon, studying the English language in the government common schools. to Dr. Smith 23 that I had been visiting bi monthly for nearly two years. As we neared the land one of my boys pointer! out a place oil shore where lie said Mr. I.ogan had once thought of locating the mission and was prevented from doing so by the hostility oi a certain chief who was now dead. It w.is a little peninsula on the north eastern part of the island and one which I had coveted for h mission house but had not supposed that it was available. 1 at once began inquiries about it with the rt-sult that the people offered Die tin- land as I wanted, and that without any pay. for a mission location and they said to nic as I walked with them over the land: 'If you want to come hither Mr. Price, come, for we all want you.' I did not take their land withont pay. I thought best to pay them. This then was one result of the patient work.of two ye.us in the place, namely, the opening of this place, so desirable for a mission location in a time ol need. After consulting with the mission I at once made preparations for securing tin land and moving the mission buildings. We now have a deed for the property approved and stamped by the agent of the Spanish Government. Mr. Bowker was with us and was at once engaged to help us. Chas. Gierow, a German trader also promised his assistance and at once set to work. Within a few weeks we had Capt. Poster's house moved and he living in it. Our house Was torn down next and brought over. Then we bewail on the Girls' school building and at this writing all the lum„ber of that laige building is on the site selected and the foundation for the structure laid. To write this seems but a small thing, but it involved an amount ot work of the heaviest kind and anxiety which you can little realize. All the timbers and boards had to be carried to the sea shore and built into rafts whence it was towed to the schooner and put on board. .And then it had to be rafted ashore at Kutua and carried a long distance up the hill on which our buildings are located. This work was all done by natives ol Taloas, for the Ucla people were angry at our coming away and would do nothing to help us off. The present occupant of the Logan Lease threatened ;o prevent our going but made no movement beyond a little talk which, owing to the good sense of the natives, amounted to nothing. With relerence to our work here in Kutua nothing could be more pleasant and give greater evidence of prosperity than it does at present. The work is new and novel to the people and has been altogether and only pleasant. It was such a relief, as few who have not been similarly situated can realize, to get away from the atmosphere of Anapauo into this delightful work where all things are congenial and where there is but one heart and mind with reference to it. We have no church building and we have had to improvise a place for meetings, �but we have had a good attendance on all our services and one by one the people have put away their heathen ways and taken on the new life. When we came here there was hardy a person that was* decently dressed and our audiences were almost entirely untouched heathen. Gradually a change came over them. By some means they got hold of clothes and now we have a well dressed company at service every Sunday. This means more than appears on the face of it, for when a heathen man consents to cut his hair, throw away his paint and take the rings out of his ears and give up his tobacco, it means that he has for some reason decided to lead a different life. The attendance at the services on Sunday his ranged from 1 25 to 250, the Sunday School about 130. We have a day school with an enrolled membership of 60, and we have of school boys and young married men who have been received into the boarding school 22, of these 13 are married and have 12 child ren. Then there are in the Girls' school 14, and one young woman who works for Mrs. Price and attends the classes, so that the toial of those in the regular schools is even ftO, and all under daily instruction rtfi. Three of the boys and two of the girls teach in the day school. A work has opened in Elim, jnst across the river on this island and south ot us a short time before our coming hither, and this work has prospered in rather a remarkable way. Eormerly there was a work in this same district on the south shore, aver the hills from us, but it was neglected and allowed to go down. When it was revived it came up rapidly, largely through the energy of the chief Hezekiah, who is really a very good man. Now they have the frame up for a church building and will soon have it enclosed. I should say that there are a dozen men and as many women who have renounced their heath en ways there and are now studying the truth as it is in Jesus. Theodore, one of my boys, has charge of that work, or at least goes there every Sunday morning and teaches them. I shall soon give him the full charge of that field. At present I hold services there every Sun day afternoon. Then a new work has opened since our coming hither at a place of the name of Rere, a thickiy populated district at the head of the river above mentioned. The chief sent me word that he wanted me to come to see him and hold a service with his people. One Sunday afternoon the boys rowed me up the river in the schooner boat, and landed me in a swamp. It was raining and everything was as dismal as could be. It seemed as though the devil was trying to cast a shadow over the place and discourage us from beginning a work there, but we have learned to resist the wiles of the devil in this sort of work and not to be March, 1897, THE FRIEND 24 discouraged at working, and so I asked the boys to lead me to the chiefs house. Along a wet slippery, and tortuous path they led me up the hill side to the house of the chief. It was so dark I could see nothing for some time after crawling on hands and knees through a little hole in the side of the house into the presence of his highness. When my eyes became accustomed to the darkness I saw a few women and children lying around, the chief sitting on a mat with his hands on his knees looking as stolid as a Micronesian chief can. There was one woman who had attended the service at Kutua and had formerly been a professing Christian and who, I afterwards learned, was the chiefs sister She was a coarse, vulgar woman with an unusually debased face, but she could read and knew considerable about Christian truths. It is hard to believe, yet it seems to be true, that this woman had influenced her brother to send for the missionary and hear the truth from him. Here as everywhere, God uses the best agents at his command. Something good in the heart of this vulgar woman induced her to want the Christian religion in her tribe. The chief was a very pleasant looking young man, and evidently a man ot peace. His answers to my questions snowed an unusual degree of intelligence and appreciation of the value of the church. He said that he did not want his people to live in darkness, that he did not approve of war and the dance, and that he wanted to have eternal life through Jesus. I asked him if he understood that my coming meant that his people would be reproved for their sins and that I would not even spare him, the chief, if he sinned against God and held on to heathen ways. He said he understood that and he wanted me to teach and reprove his people and himself, for they wanted to learn the right way and walk in it. ( To he Continued.) violent wind of that section. We somewhat doubt the success of overcoming that difficulty. All accounts indicate success and prosperity among the large and enter- prising colony of Coffee planters in the district of Olaa on the Volcano Road. It will be of interest to secure a careful comparison of the relative qualities of the berries grown in the wet climate of Olaa, and those from the drier land of Kona. Both are fresh volcanic soils. Presumably, Kona coffee will be the finest in Savor. Olaa may yield the heaviest crops. A Possible Investigation. There are some indications that Liliuokalani, who has much persistence, may succeed in re-opening her former claim for redress from the United States, for her alleged dethronement by the agency of United States naval forces. Should her efforts result in a Commission of Inquiry being sent to Hawaii, we shall have the satisfaction of a public and open investigation of the subject instead of Blount's secret and ex parte shyster work. Such an inquiry will be extremely welcome to the Hawaiian government and their friends, although the subject matter is somewhat old to be threshed over again, after the conclusive Report of the Senate Committee in February, IHU4, which dismissed the false allegation.

Lord 25 Number 4 Jesus, or Pilgrim's Progress, and narrative of actual facts. The theory is that it was composed for the purpose of denouncing and satirizing the Jewish error which conceived of God as having mercy and grace for Israel only, and nine lor the Gentiles. Jonah is described as a prophet who refused to carry God's message to the heathen. The consideration which most strongly turns the minds of Christian believers against considering Jonah unhistorical is our Lord's use of the repentance of the Ninevitea under Jonah's preaching to rebuke the impenitent people of Capernaum, and more especially the Louis comparison of his own burial to Jonah's being three days in the whale's belly. This is conceived not merely to endorse the inspiration of the book, which it plainly does, but also to indorse its historical verity. Is the latter so ? When our Lord endorses the inspiration oi Deuleimi my, he seems necessarily to endorse us historical verity, because H is altogether historical in character.

Without assuming to decide the question, there would seem to be room for earnest believers to hold different conclusions, without deridl,)g or denouncing each other. not a Higher Critics Unscientific. Dr. Harper assures us "that the Pentateuch is a compilation of four distinct written documents, no one of which goes farther back than 950 15. C." This is the well known analysis of the Pentateuch given by the ''disintegrating critics." It is based upon the different uses of the words "Jehovah and "Ploliim" in the Mosaic record, but it is of very doubtful value, and is discredited by a growing number of the most competent scholars.

A valuable supplement to Hawaiian History is to be found in a lately unearthed "Narrative of a Voyage to the Northwest coast of America," by Gabriel Franchere. The writer was a young Canadian, who sailed in Astor's ship the Tonquin in 1811, for the Columbia River. He printed his story in French in 1819. It wa:- published in English in 1854, by J. Y. Huntington. On t' c passage out a stop of 17 days made at these islands in February, 1811, which is described in pages 53-84. The tit scriptions anil notices appear to be careful and accurate. Many items are of much interest. A native is found building a 30-ton sloop at Kealakekua, and using a red hot iron for an auger. John Young was the governor, living at Tohel.igh, or Kawaihae. The Tonquin finally anchored off Ohetity, which must mean Waititi. The well-known Davis and Manini are among the first visitors to the ship, also Kraimoku. Tamehameha soon came off. He "was above the middle height, well made, robust, inclined to corpulency, and had a majestic carriage." He appeared to me from He was clothed in .ill to tin years old. European style, and wore a sword. His "double pirogue" was manned by twentyfour men. About noon on the 22nd, "his sable majesty paid us another visit, accompanied by his three wives and his favorite minister. These females were of an extraordinary corpulence, and of unmeasured size. They were dressed in the fashion of the country, having nothing but a piece of tapa, or bark-cloth, two yards long, passed round the hips and falling to the knees." Jean Rives is barely mentioned, as "a young Frenchman from Bordeaux, preceptor of the king's sons, whom he taught to read, and who understood the was language." �Vol. 55, No. 27 THE FRIEND. 4.] 1896 was an expensive year, owing to "We were given to understand that be sent back to Japan.

Theology, Dr. 'Abbott says, differs from Evolution in two respects, in regard to interventions, and in regard to the cause of change. "Theology attempts to account for the cause of life, but Involution does not." Having thus stated the difference between evolution and theology, Dr. Abbot says,"I acknowledge myself to be a radical evolutionist.' But here 1 raise the question- Is Dr. Abbott a radical evolutionist ? For he immediately adds; "I reverently and and heartily accept the axiom that a per sonal Gi d is the foundation of all life." But this is nothing less nor more than to say that God is the cause, and yet he has just told us that "it should be distinctly understood that evolution mikes no attempt to explain the cause of that progressive change which constitutes the essential manifestation ol what we call life." At the fir el stroke, therefore, Dr. Abbott gets on the theological side ol one of the two essential differences be tween evolution and theology. He joins the theologians in attempting to give a cause for things, and is not a "radical evolutionist," "Theie are no forces in nature," he continues to remark, "except the one divine, infinite force, the will ol God." If this is not to give a cause, what is? But there is still the other difference between evolution and theology, that of the idea of interventions. * * * He tells us first what theologians have believed, and then that evolution holds that this "higher life of man, this moral, this ethical, this spiritual nature has been developed by natural processes, as higher physical phases of life have been developed by natural processes.'' But Dr. Abbott is too shrewd not to see that this explanation does not cover the diffi culty, that we have here an effect greater than the cause, that the question where the "more" came from has not been answered. * * Hence after some hesitation he quietly acknowledges that the "evolutionist believes no less than the creationist that God breathes inti man the breath of a divine lite." * * But what about the doctrine ol non-intervention ? And what about tht fling that "it is theology alone which still holds to the doctrine of special inter ventions, to the action that there art gaps in the process of life to be filled up with God. As if God lived in gaps." Here is a genuine case of gap. the gap between animal and man, and according to Dr. Abbott God fids it up. * Breathing into man the breath of divine life is as much intervention as putting breath into the body of the widow's son by a clasp of the hand. Intervention is intervention, and clothing it in the terms of evolution instead of the terms of theology does not alter the fact. Grapho, in The Advance. • * Rev. Dr. M C.

"Pentecostal" Meetings of Rev. G. Smith. Jos. A series of daily evening and afternoon meetings were held for nearly three weeks of the past month in the M. E.

There were also many experiences of conversion, especially among the youth of the Sunday School. F'lder Smith has earnest, impressive speech, intimate familiarity with Scripture, deep spirituality, and exceptional gift of logical discrimination, matured by long practice. He maintains the regular Methodist doctrine of "Sanctification." Without necessarily accepting his precise exposition of the life of the Spirit, one could not fail to be deeply impressed with the practicalattainability, and with our great need, of a life of habitual joy, strength and peace through the constant and sensible communion of the Holy Spirit indwelling with us.

Ofthese classes the females are much in excess of the males, the latter evidently going abroad more than the former, who tend to marry and settle at home, the white males being so largely in excess. The Portuguese Hawaiian both here constitute l'>.Bl or nearly one half oftheir nationality. They are prolific. They have a much larger proportion of adult females than the other foreign immigrants. And of those bom here, the males are considerably in excess of females, few of the former as yet having strayed abroad, being mostly in tender years. In all 9,199 persons of European origin now living in Hawaii, were born here, a little over three-fourths of whom are of Portuguese descent.

It may be added, that it was a pitiable thing for Mrs. Dominis to make such a public display in Washington of both mental and moral imbecility. Of the inventors and propagators of the vile and silly canard about an attempt to poison Liliuokalani, it is a question whether they are more base than stupid. Tlu astronomer, Percival Lowell, has conclusively settled the long dispute as to the rotation of Venus. The rotation of that planet upon its axis, is identical in time with its revolution around the Sun. It always turns the same side to the Sun, just as the Moon does to the Earth. This is owing to the enormous tidal force txerted by the Sun upon Venus, which is seven times as great as he exerts upon the Earth. The tides act as a brake to retaid rotation, and Venus has succumbed as the Moon has done. The Call in Error about Kanoa. In the /'. C. Advertiser of March 26, appears a letter from Rev. Dr. H.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Minion*, and the Editor, appointed by tsV Board, is responsible for its contents. Rev. 0. P. Emerson. - Editor. The Waimea Meeting. The Hawaiian Association of churches Friday, March 12th, and ended its mission at evening the next day. Of the important matters which came up for consideration, perhaps the foremost was that of the request of a number of members of the church of Kohala tor the removal of their pastor. The paper in which their petition was formulated was a rather stiff document| evidently drawn up by a lawyer. It gave evidence of strong political bias. The only serious charge brought against the pastor, that of deception, was easily explained on the ground of a change of opinion. Indeed the charges brought received little attention from the Association; the time was rather given to a consideration of the best method ol winning over the disaffected brethren. The bringer of the petition was questioned, and after much kindly conference, his suggestions were adopted. The Asa committee sociation was asked to of Pastors to speak conciliatory words to the disaffected. They and the pastor were to express regret for the hasty action of the Association in suspending the opposing members at a time of heated political feeling. Mutual confessions were to be made with the hope that the , breach might be healed. Mr. the delegate of the disaffected party and one of its leaders evinced an earnest desire to help bring about this harmony. There was much rejoicing at this apparently happy turn of affairs and the committee was chosen and sent. But the success oftheir mission, as has sincebeen learned, was not as great as had been hoped. Had it gone immediately and met with tne disaffected at their rendezvous on Sunday, the result might probably have been different. But going on Monday instead, there was no regular meeting held till Thursday, the date of the usual week day gathering. Unfortunately at that time the strongest member of the committee could not be present. Had certain leaders of the opposition wished it the result might have been different. Yet doubtless good will come of this effort of the Pastor and of the brethren of the Association to put themselves right withthe aggrieved members, they have shown a willingness to welcome back the seceders and deal gently with them. In doing this they have gone more than half way. Moreover the leaders gf the opposition are evidentmeet at Waimea, 31 THE FRIEND Those who hindered conciliatory measures have put themselves on record. Undoubtedly there are those who will cease to follow their lead. They ask unqualifiedly for the dismissal of Pastor Kekuewa. This can not bethought of. Kekuewa stands high in the regard of many of his people. He has the entire confidence ol his brethren in the ministry. He is one of the ablest ol the native pastors. His record is without a stain. Moreover he is winning some of the disaffected back to his side. There is too strong evidence of an unworthy purpose on the part of his strongest opponents. They are paid to keep up this opposition. Two other actions of the Association are noteworthy, one, the dismissal of the Rev. J. Kalino to accept the call of the Paia Church, and the other, the dis missal of the Rev. L. K. Kalawe without trial, from the pastorate of the Paula his island who once stood well but afterwards turned back into sin. He speaks of the prosperity of the Day Schools and the steady attendance of the children. The new Governor or British Commis sioner visited the island in August and enforced upon parents the duty of sending their children to school. Mr. Paaluhi, who occupies the Northern end of Tabiteuea, desires to bring his two sons to Hawaii nei next year for their education. The missionaries speak well of the new Governor and of his influence for good over the people. The islanders are evidently making progress, and on the whole the outlook is favorable. after the concert exercises. almost every Sunday afternoon and while there has been marked improvement in the meetings it is too soon to observe any great change in the people. The first impression of the chief has been confirmed. He has rendered us valuable assistance in moving buildings, taking at one time 35 of his men over to Anapauo to assist in carrying the boards and remaining with them three days and holding them to the work. Philip, one of my boys, visits these people every Sunday morning, and I visit them in the afternoon. They call themselves my people anil say they are members of the church. Last week Mrs. Logan and myself started on the schooner for a tour ofthese islands intending to visit Uman, Fefan Amau on Uelo, and Famua. At Uman we found Moses and Zipporah, and a good work. They filled his church about two-thirds full. Most ol those present were Christians. They listened attentively to a sermon on the rewards of the Christian life and an impromptu talk by Mis Logan, whom every one seemed glad tv sec. Zippor.iii was confined to her couch. She had been iii for six months and now is neither able to stand nor lie down, but must sit in a half reclining position all the time. She wept when we came in and spoke to her and Moses, and says she has great peace in prospect of death. Moses takes good cure of her and is very faithful. I thought, and we spoke of it as we came away, of the marvelous power of the Gospel of Jesus, which has done so much for these two children of darkness. Zipporah, sustained in the hour of approaching death testifying to the peace that was in her heart, and Moses no less wonderfully sustained, maintaining a pure life in the midst of his temptations and trials, present to the natives an object lesson on tbe power of the Gospel. To us who live in a land ly not agreed. Letter from Mr. Price at Ruk. (Continued from last issue.) This is the gist of our conversation that day as I spoke to him of God, His Church. The meeting of the Sunday School love, and His priceless gift. Since Association was held Sunday sfternoon, then I have visited these people Hawaiian Missionaries in the GilbertIslands. By the Morning Star which returned on the 29th of March from the fourteenth voyage to Micronesia, we have cheering letters from the three Hawaiian brethren in the Gilbert Islands. The fourth missionary Rev. Louis Mitchell who has been on Butaritari for two years, returned on the Star with his family on account of the very serious illness of his wife. Rev. J. VV. Kanoa the veteran missionary of Butaritari having died last July, the return of Mr. Mitchell now leaves that most interesting island wholly unoccupied by our band of laborers. Rev. Mr. VValkup also is temporarily withdrawn from the Gilbert Islands, as he takes charge of the mission school at Kusaie during the absence of Rev. Mr. Channon and family. Rev. S. P. Kaaia, the prince of native Hawaiian missionaries now living, writes cheenngly of his field on Tabiteuea. Church discipline is maintained. Monthly concert collections are maintained the contributions being made in coconuts and in coconut cord. Day Schools are well attended, the teachers paid from the Government Treasury. The institution of Christian marriage is being acknowledged among the people. He speaks highly of the Christian literature being furnished their people through the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Bingham. The most serious hinderance comes from the efforts of those who teach the worship of Mary. He still declines to take a furlough from his work until someone is found to fill his place during his absence. Mr. Mahihila of Miana, speaks of the continued defection of the principal chief of �32 where Christianity has moulded the sentiment and created a condition in harmony with that sentiment, the example of a woman dying peacefully and of a man faithful to Ins wife during a long, lingering illness, would hardly cause remark; but here, where fidelity m the marriage relation is hardly known anil where even Christians within a lew days after the death of a wife take another and sickness of one member in the married relation is sufficient cause for sin on the part of the other, the example ol good Zipporah and faithful Moses is nothing less than an unmistakable evidence of the Gospel in their lives. After our service we went in and prayed with Zipporah and came away feeling girded anew fjr our work in preaching this Gospel to the heathen. Moses is not all we wish he weie. He has become interested in making money, and we fear he neglects his spiritual work for things temporal, but he has a moral character which has been createtl in the atmosphere of the Gospel, which will be a power for God wherever he lives. We got underway for Kuku on the 3rd of Feb., aliout eleven o'clock, and before a fair wind we ran over in about two hours. There is war between Uin.tn and Fefan, and the Uman people wanted to go on the schooner with us in order to protect us. As Moses was going we allowed him to take a few of his boys, but three boatloads of the natives followed. We did not want them with us for we feared that they would make the people mad with us, and it was learned afterwards that they probably went along in order to get a landing on Fefan under cover of protecting us. In this they were foiled, for the Fefan people were ready to receive us with guns and other accoutrements of war. We anchored outside of gunshot range and Moses and Mrs. Logan and I went ashore. There has been war on Kuku for nearly two years, and Manasseh's work has amounted to almost nothing. He himself is growing old and is hardly able for the work of such a field, and it has seemed to us that we ought to change him to some other field. When we arrived we found that Emily, Manasseh's wife, had died the Saturday before. She had been sick a long time and had been a great surlerer. Her life had been quiet and unobtrusive, but true and faithful, and we feel sure that she dir-d in the faith. Manasseh said that she died in peace and we believe that she did. We thought best, after looking the situation over, tJ leave Manasseh there alone lor a few months at least. He will probably return to Ponape soon and we shall iher. tiy 10 secure a more wise and aggressive man for this field. It is bloody Fefan still as ol yore. The work has done comparatively little toward allaying the passion for war which has controled this people. We made a short stop at Fefan and at seven o'clock at evening we dropped anchor at Anapauo j'April, 1807. THE FRIEND. and the next day at about one o'clock, after Mrs. Logan and myself had made the visit mentioned above, we were on our way or Kinamne, the name ol our new home on Taloas, having accomplished only one half of what we set out to do, so much depends on the wind when one is toiling. I am glad to say that Capt. Fostei managed the schooner well on this trip and gieatly increased my confidence in his ability to take her through difficult places. He is cautious, avoids danger and takes no risks anil keeps a sharp lookout all the time. He seems to know pretty well now what the schooner can do and I think you may rest content with reference to Ins work. The coming of the Star was, as usual, an event in our lives; and as she brought Mrs. Logan this year, her coming was a double blessing Her kindness of bean, her tlioughtfulness and prudence and her ability to do work together with her social and intellectual qualities make her coining to us a cause ot constant thankfulness. No one could have taken her place here. She is needed here it in any place in the world, and it shall be our endeavor to make her life here as pleasant as it can be made by us under these circumstances. Of course we were disappointed that you did not send us an associate, but I know that you have the interest of this work at heart. I do not care to add anything to what I wrote you last year. The same reasons for having an ass >ci ate male missionary here still hold, and were I to restate them would make them even stronger than they were last year; but it has occurred to me that it might be well both for the man and the woik if he did not come until we have sue ceeded in ridding the mission and the work of the incubus which clings so persistently to it. A great sorrow has come to us in the sickness and death of our dear little babe who died on the Bth of Septeill >ci. Voyage of the Morning Star. The Missionary barken tine Morning Star, Captain Garland, arrived it Honolulu on the morning of March 2 ih, aft i a passage of 40 days from Ruk. Si brought the following passengers: Rev, family of the GiKieit J. If. Channonand Training School on Kusaie; Miss Kinney and Miss Abell of the Girls' Training School at Kinamue, Ruk; Rev. I.ouis Mitchell and family of Butaritari; Chas. Bowker and family ol Ruk. Mr. and Mrs. Channon take the regular year's furlough after seven years of labor, which long experience has proved to be economy of strength. Mr. Mitchell, a native ol Mauritius, returns on account of the prostrated health of his wife. The ladies from Ruk also take a vacation on account of impaired health. Mr. Bowker has rendered frequent and most essential service to the missionaries in Ruk as a carpenter, for many years, and how desires opportunity to educate his children. Leaving Honolulu June 25, the Starreached Butaritari ia 17 days. Having there landed all the Stores for the Gilbert Islands, the run to Kusaie took 12 days. A stay of 16 days was made at this missionary center, during which time the Star was overhauled. Thence the vessel proceeded to Ruk, calling on the way to inspect stations on the small islands of Mokil. Pingalap and Ngatic, also visiting Ponape. When half way to Kuk it became necessary to return to Ponape fol medical aid to a passenger. Bad weather necessitated a stay there ol six days. Going on, Ruk was reached in three and a halt days, steaming all the way, to mak-' up lost time. All were found well on Ruk, where a stay of five da) s was made. Returning to Kusaie, a ciowd of school children with teachers embarked, and the cruise was made through the stations of the Marshall Islands, returning some pupils to their homes, or locating them as teachers, and taking on other pupils to Kusaie. At one time SB people were on board. Again at Kusaie, the Gilbert scholars and teachers embarked, and 5t days were spent in a Cruise through that group. Once more proceeding to Ruk for final ordera and mails, the Star sailed for home on February 12th. Miss Foss of the Kusaie Mission, had embarked for home, but finding Miss Abell and Miss Kinney more debilitated than herself, she volunteered to remain on Ruk to assist Mrs. Logan in the Girls' School, that she might not be left alone.

Miss Jessie Hoppin is herewith restored health, awaiting the return of the Star to resume her work at Kusaie in the Training School for girls, where she has done much noble service. Our missionaries enjoyed unexpected liberty of intercourse with the native Christians at Ponape, which for many years has been forbidden them by the Spanish Governors, while a guard boat has been stationed to enforce the tabu on the Morning Star. On the present visit, the mission.tins freely visited the people. The chinches were found to be still alive, and maintaining public worship. A supply of New Testaments was landed, and eagerly bought up. The Governor was extremely friendly and kind. The work in most of the Marshall Islands was found highly prosperous. The German Kommissar was most friendly. The German authorities have learned highly to value the work of our missionaries and the numerous teachers located by them. There are no Roman Catholics there to antagonize and break up our work; as they do in the Gilbert Is. �Vol. 55, No. 4.] Mr. Price's Trip to the Mortlocks. We have space only for a severe of this interesting journal, which would lilt ten pages of 'Tin FkH'.NII. abridgment Jouknxi. 01 \ TaiP ro 33 THE FRIEND mi Mortlock I think that we never felt so Strongly the absolute inefficiency in ourselves and the need of liivine help and guidance in doing the work, as we did when we turned our laces toward the islands of the east at this time. On Sunday evening, Oct. 25th, we had a special service ol prayer for God's blessing and presence on this trip, and as we talked over the promises of God, and prayed together, we felt that the place was shaken, and that we were filled with the Holy Ghost endued for service even for this special and important undertaking. We arose from our knees with the calmest assurance that His presence would go with us, that this trip was to be one of the best ever made to the islands, and richest in the results for time and eternity. Our little schooner left Kinamue, Ruk, on the 26th of October. Capt. Foster had the schooner in good trim- every thing in ship shape; and with Chas. Gierow, an old salt, for mate, and some of our best schoolboys for sailors. Mrs. Logan and I went to do the work, and as we launched our little boat away from the shore, she remarked that it reminded her of the old times of the happy tours with Mr. Logan. A light wind compelling us to anchor that night just inside the passage, we entered the open sea early the next morning, and our stomachs were soon con scions of every movement of the light little craft. Nave was in sight at 3 p.m., and at five Mrs. Logan, Moses, and I landed. A high sea was running in ovjr the reef, but after some clashing about, we got safe to shore, and were warmly welcomed by the teacher and his people. Alexander the teacher and his wife Alexandrina, have been on this island about five years. They are among the poorest of our teachers so far as culture and native ability are concerned, but have kept themselves from the evil one, and their work gives considerable evidence of stability. VVe had a service in the church by lamplight, and it was a tender one. Moses spoke pleasantly of his former work on this island, and referred to the death of Zippora a few days before. He said that he missed her very much, but was happy because she had worked so long for Jeaus and died in peace. The teacher had just lost a daughter, and Moses' words seemed especially helpful to them. Mrs. Logan and her girl occupied for earnest men, living up to their light as the night a house of one room belonging nearly as most people do.

Pis. From Losap we crossed the lagoon to a small island Pis, where arc about 150 people. Though smaller than Losap, this islet is much more fertile. Mr. Treiberhad organized a chinch here, which has had a precarious existence. On my former journeyings I had nol visited this place, considering it so near Losap that they ought to join in with them; but last year Justinia, the wife of a fallen teacher, had opened a school here, and held daily services with the women and children. She came to Losap and got our promise to spend Sunday with them, then went home to get the people ready. We found the rubbish about the church cleared away, a neat path from the sea shore, and the people washed and dressed. It was Saturday, 2 p.m., when we arrived: There is a good church building 2(1x10 with puncheon sides and floor. Only one man could be found who had not fallen away; but through the faithful work of Justinia a large number came forward as candidates for baptism. The Losap teacher and deacons were set over this weak church. Parents wanted their children baptized. I told them to bring them in and we would name them so as to save time on the morrow. They ran out to bring them in—little naked brownies with bright black eyes, seeming ghv of us; boys and girls of various ages, acting like babies in our own part of the world, brought one by one to be named anil legistered. No mother knew the age of her own babe. After we had exhausted our knowledge of Scripture names, we had to fall back on such names as Jane, Kate, Tom and Ned. On Sunday we held three services, at which 35 candidates were received into the church, and 15 babies baptized. Then Mrs. Logan held a service with the women, which she thought was profitable. In no place have the women shown a more marked interest than here. Just before service in the morning we had an interesting object lesson. I had told them that they must take the rings out of their ears before they could partake of the sacrament, and that they must put clothing on their babies before they were baptized. I did not think it quite in taste to baptize naked children, however novel it might be. The babies were provided for by dint of much effort, but I noticed they had not taken out their rings. I arose and told them they must attend to this matter before the communion would be given them. Some were inclined to rebel at first, but after a time all fell into line. This doing was worth hearing any number of sermons. In the afternoon we had a good meeting, about 200 being preseut, many being from Losap, and many were moved by the truth. After the service was over, I went down and talked to the men. One man much interested me, large, with strong face and heavy beard, THE FRIEND. and superior bearing.

Undoubtedly there is growing tendency to regard and obey the voice ol conscience. The Mortlock Islands ought to, and will furnish the missionaries for evangelizing the islands to the west of us. What were the causes that led to this revival ? 'The prayers and tears of God's church and faithful servants were not forgotten, but "had come up for a memorial before God." They were to be answeied and this was the acceptable tune. So the blessing was poured out. Of course special efforts were made. I mention particularly a meeting I held with the teachers on my previous visit, when I gave them a Bible reading on the work of the Holy Ghost and had a special prayer meeting with them looking to a special endueing for service. The meeting was niaiked by earnestness and no little seriousness. It was also provided that the teachers should meet together once every month and pray together for God's blessing upon their woik, and for a personal filling of the Holy Spirit.

Davies, Esq., in England, occurs the following sentence, which we feel called todemui to. "The has been denounced far and ex-Queen wide, by nun who ought to have known better, as an abandoned idolatrous woman." We do not know of any of her opponents who publicly denounced her as an "abandoned' woman, except certain half-whites who did virulently so denounce her in the Legislature debates of 1892, and in the "Leon ka Lahui." Her white opponents did not publicly so speak of her at any time. Her outward life was always decorous. Considering the customs and traditions of her race, very lenient judgment is due to her. Nothing, publicly at bast, ever appeared to forbid the c irdial associating with her of ladies of high character. As to idolatry, she unci lubtedly did occasionally participate in gross he Ithen ceremonies. 'The Editor of I'm Friend in 1893, published the well proved fact of her having personally thrown a livepig and live fowl upon the hoi lavs as an offering to Pele. She endeavored to explain this as a harmless conformity to ancient customs. It is quite likely that she was not actuated by supersti tious feeling ot her own. She was evidently anxious, for political reasons, to cultivate the support and friendship of the heathen element, which had grown very influential under Kalakaua's fostering. He used il as bis mosl reliable instrument foi restoringdi sji it govern ment. llei motive was tin same.

In the "Parliament of Religions," organized by Dr. Barrows, there were some features which seemed to allow to the Ethnic religions a species of peerage alongside of Christianity, instead of making God's revelation in Christ of sole authority and His Kingdom supreme. But in the light ol Dr. Barrows' recent work in India, and his attitude there in respect to Christ, and especially in the light of this lecture, it is manifest that he is enthusiastically loyal to our one Lord and Master. With this issue of The Friend, the present Editor completes ten years of service. The Divine mercy is humbly and thankfully acknowled/ed. It is modestly hoped that the paper has been made in some degree to continue the good work it began to do in earlier days, in chronicling and supporting the work of Ethnic Religions not Valueless.

All the schools are taught in English, excepting a few classes in Chine.se. All children of suitable age are compelled to attend school. The great number of Portuguese children is to be remarked, also that of Part Hawaiians, a majority ol whose fathers are foreigners, married to native or Part-Hawaiian women. The entirely American character of the Hawaiian School system is illustiated by the excess of 236 American teachers, out of the total 482 of all nationalities. The text books used are American. The celebration at New York on April 27th, on the occasion of depositing the remains of General Grant in the great tomb in Riverside Park, seems to have been one well worthy of the honor due to the great warrior and patriot, the man of such grand simplicity, modesty and integrity. America is supremely ennobled by three such pure and illustrious names as those of Washington, Lincoln, and Grant, each of themdevoid of vanity, ostentation, or self seeking. �44 THE FRIEND Hawaiian Mission Children's Society necessarily fading with the lapse of time.

[June, 1897 The Japanese cruiser Naniwa arrived on the sth ult., in 15 days fiom Yokohama. She brought Councillor M. Akiyama, who is commissioned to investigate the cases of the immigrants sent back from here to Japan, and to ask from this Government such satisfaction as may seem to be dee. The entertainment given by the offiof Ihe Naiiiwa on the evening of 19th to some 250 visitors is thought to have surpassed any previous one on a warship in Honolulu in the elegance of its decorations. Our Japanese neighbors evidently mean their errand here to be understood as an amicable one. cets Banquet to Japanese Newspaper Men. Perhaps as notable a gathering as ever took place in Honolulu was the dinner given on the 15th ult. at the Hawaiian Hotel to the representatives of the Japanese Press by the newspaper men of Honolulu. Ten Japanese gentlemen were present, including Councillor Akiyama and four correspondents of Japanese Papers who accompanied him on the Xuniwa. There were also twelve English-speaking whites, one Portuguese, one Hawaiian and two Chinese, all connected with Honolulu papers of those nationalities, except one correspondent from San Francisco. The most cordial feeling prevailed. The only allusion to politics was the confidence expressed by Mr. Shiozawa of the Hawaii Shimpo, that "the recent little difficulty between Japan and Hawaii will be speedily settled." The Hawaiian Government, acting upon the advice of leading business men, has declined to renew to Col. Z. S. Spalding the now expired concession granted him, of the exclusive right to land a Cable from California at Honolulu. On May 24th, the 78th birthday of Cjueen Victoria a very large attendance at the reception of Her Majesty's Commissioner A. G. S.

The town of Pomona has adopted a high liquor license ordinance, which is more practicable, if not so ideally good as absolute prohibition. Two liquor shops are allowed at license fees of $1000 and bonds of $5000. No seats, games, pictures or newspapers are allowed. Unobstructed view must be given from the street. Any wife, mother, daughter or sister may prohibit moneyneeded for her support to be taken by the saloon. Pomona will secure the actual execution of this ordinance only by vigilant activity.

Nothing can he more transparently cleat than the fact that no amount ol fiee sugar from Hawaii cat, possibly lower the price of protected bee' sugai in America, until the combined amount oi both sugars has grown 1., be in excess of the total consumption ol sugai in tinUnited States. There is in. possible answer to this statement. It must he n great many years before the production of beet Sugar approximates the total consumption of the country and so finds free Hawaiian an injurious competitor. The truth seems to be that it is really the wealthy Sugar Trust thai hates Hawaiian tree sugar, but dares not avow its hostility. So it puts forward Beet Sugar to fight against us under this false pretext. Certain facts now transpire which indicate that Liliuokalani and her Secretary Julius Palmer are really in the pay of this wealthy corporation. This fully accounts for the ex-queen's lavish expenditure in Washington totally beyond her private means. Our esteemed neighbor Judge Hart takes The Friend to task for characterizing the Powers of Europe as "cowardly" in their recent action in Crete, and non-action at Constantinople. We had thought of calling their conduct "brutal and barbarous," but deemed it more charitable to impute their disgrace ful behavior to timidity. There are times when mere prudence is whollyignoble. After six weeks suspension of work the Dredger is again cutting coral and discharging it inland day and night. The old cutters, worn out and broken on the hard stratum of coral below, have been replaced by new ones of wrought steel. It is hoped that thirty days of steady work will complete the job of deepening the new slip. Several acres of new land have been created on the old mud flat. Surf Riding at Waikiki. This exciting amusement has grown into such demand by visitors as well as residents, that a company of natives has been formed, called the Hui Pakaka Nalu (Wave Gliders), who are ready to take people out for the sport in native canoes at a dollar an hour. With a skilled native, there is no danger of upsetting as you shoot forward on the top front of a combing billow and race for the shore. In any case the kanaka would infallibly keep one from drowning. Dr. J. M. Whitney of Honolulu has been elected Vice-President of the Pacific Coast Dental Congress He has contributed to the public many articles of high scientific value, some especially relating to diseases shown in the teeth and jaws of ancient Hawaiian skulls. gress The fertile uplands of Kula on the Western front of H.ileakala on Maui, are reported to he neatly without dunk ing water, anil crops a total failure hum drought.

Abundant testimony comes from Hilo that the town is putting on great and rapid growth. Large numbers of cottages and many superior residences aie being planned and erected. The Streets are being widened and greatly improved. Lots are being laid oul in new tracts in many directions. Twenty white men with families are reported to have arrived within the past two months to engage in coffee culture. The new wharf is likelysoon to be built. Hilo is becoming a very live town, and unless many signs fail, is going to become much more lively. It has before it a great and active future, not merely financially, but from the healthy elements there, it seems safe to say, morally and spiritually. RECORD OF EVENTS. May Ist.

Sunday, May , Work in English. As Mr. Birnie well says, it is not denominationalism we want, but teligion-more worship, more instruction in the teachings of Jesus The Board stands ready to push this work in every needy center. The Palama Chapel, under the care of the Rev. Mr. Lewis, has the newest congregation. It is only a year old, md yet it has become a well established mission with its many departments of work, as the report inserted below will show. In such centers as Kailua and (Jlaa there ought very soon to be formed union congregations. Even were it desirable the community is not large enough for denominational organization, but there are many who would gladly get together for the sake of Bible study and fellowship in the truth. In the person of Jesus we can all unite. The little congregation at Wailuku, Maui, which is now being ministered to every other week by the much beloved pastor of the Paia Church, might be built up to greater strength by a resident minister. Wailuku is a center where a man ol missionary spirit might exert a wide influence. Not only are there whites to be found in the region, but there are also half whites and natives, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese, who speak English, all of whom would be greatly benefited by such pastoral care. We not long since called on a Chinese merchant who for twenty years had lived in Wailuku. He had become impressed by the truth of Christianity. At last a Christian, he grieved that the power of the life that is in Jesus had not come to him earlier. Miss Turner of the Chinese mission in Wailuku would welcome a minister to that field, and do much to help him. Rev. Mr. Kapu, pastor of the native church, would do all he could to aid the right man—and the aid of Mr. Kapu would count for much. Mr. Egami of the Japanese church would also be sure to do his part. The services in English could be arranged so as to accommodate the members of other congregations as well, and there gain the stimulus of large attendance. A minister of the right stamp at Wailuku could be very useful to the native pastors, in fact, he could do the work the Rev. Mr. Lydgate is doing on Kauai. One wishing to take up the native tongue and master it, could become the head of a ministerial training school for all the native pastors of the island. Periodic meetings could be established for them, such as Mr. Lydgate holds. The Foreign Church of Hilo, Hawaii, which is under the care of the Rev. Mr. Hill has completed its new and beautiful church structure. This widening of its capacity and influence just at this time, when things seem to feel the movement of a new and greater growth, is very There are nine English speaking congregations on the islands which are more or less associated with our work. Of these three are on Kauai, and two on each of the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii. Seven clergymen minister to these nine congregations; four have church organizations. They are a power for good that reaches to the remotest corners of the group. The Central Union Church of this city, which is under the able leadership of Rev. D. P. Birnie, is the main support of our work. From it come most of the men, money and influence for the conduct of our affairs. Indeed each church, each congregation, does its part through the personal exertions and gifts of individual members. With the increase of the English speaking population there will be a call tor an increase of these congregations. timely. 49 Palama Chapel Mission. Report of Rev. J. M. Lewis. Sunday School Superintendent Miss Ida M. Pope, leader of singing class, Miss C. Clyiner, manager of sewing classes, Miss Parke and Miss Peniel, teachers in the kindergarten, the Misses Buckey, Bray, Kinney, and musicians Miss Carrie Bray and Miss Helen Desha. The Palama Chapel will have reached its first anniversary on the first of June. Ever since the opening of the chapel continuous work has been going on. The attempt to establish a mission in this district was at first looked upon as a doubtful experiment. Now however the experimental stage has been passed and the mission is a settled fact, well rooted in the lite of the community, and looked upon as a necessary part of th c higher life of the district. The chapel was built and dedicated previous to the organization of any meeting or gathering of any kind. As soon as it was ready for use a personal invitation was extended throughout the community by house to house visitation and in other ways. From the first it became evident that such a building was needed. Indications pointed to the fact that the effort put forth would not be in vain. The work has branched out along various lines, such as the Sunday school, prayer and preaching services, singing classes, boys clubs, monthly literary and musical entertainments and a kindergarten. A small library has been formed and reading matter provided. The chapel is in constant use through the week and on Sundays. The services have been well attended. The enrollment of scholars has increased from twelve to seventy five. Miss Pope, principal of the Kamehameha Girls' School has been our efficient superintendent. Our singing classes, under the enthusiastic leadership of Miss Clymer, also of Kamehameha, have been a great help to our work; so also have been the sewing classes and the boys club which are under the charge of a corps of faithful teachers. All these agencies at work in the mission have helped to awaken the interest of the community. It has been our aim from the start to make the chapel a social and intellectual as well as religious center, and in this way attract the people and create in them a hunger and thirst for righteousness, and ultimately bring them to a personal knowledge of Christ. We believe that this mission will have its influence in the formation of the character of the people. Through the direct efforts of this mission a primary school has been established in the district for young children of school age, who otherwise would have been running about the streets without educational privileges. Our work has been largely among the young people, and the indications are �50 THE FRIEND June,1897 Our Can White Laborers Perform the Work T.
