So nearly certain did it, for some months, appear that this fiery deluge would roll over our fair Eden, that many, probably most of the people, laid their plans and concerted measures to escape with such property as could be removed. It is also a fact that, under these threatening dangers, prayer was offered without ceasing by the church at Hilo, both in private and public. We also know that multitudes of God's people in other parts of the islands and in other lands, did not cease to lift up their prayers and cries to God for our deliverance. A day of solemn fasting and prayer was also observed by the people of Hilo, both by na| fives and foreigners, and few even of the un| lielieving class, exhibited the least disrespect the occasion. Most seemed impressed i for with the propriety and solemnity of the act. And still another fact remains On the 13th of February, 18i6, six months from the commencement of the flow, and when the lowest point of the stream was sea, and when, to all i within six miles of the ! human appearance, the action from the sumjmit crater to the terminus of the flow was j unabated, suddenly and unexpectedly the fiejry river ceased to flow longitudinally, and from that day to the present it has made no advance towards the coast.

We would merely remark, that it is customary for a portion of the daily sessions of the association to be occupied in reading essays, the topics having been assigned the previous year. The following was prepared and read by the Rev. T. Coan, of Hi- lo, whose situation enabled him to carefully observe the volcanic phononiena on Hawaii : Is IT PROPER TO HOLD lIP THE IHKA HKI-ORE THE HaWAIIANS THAT THE LAVA-FLOW TOwards Hilo ceased in answer to pray- er I Instead of giving a categorical answer to this question we propose to inquire L What are the facts in the case '. 11. What does the Bible teach us to believe on the subject of prayer ? 111. What are some of the scriptural examples in answer to prayer ? TV. What have been the doctrines and example of the Christian chur-hes on this •subject ? Y. Would any other teaching be according to the Inspired Word, or honorable to : Gad? I. Let us look at facts : On the 11th of August, 1855, a great volcanic eruption commenced on Mauna Loa. For fifteen months this great furnace continued to disgorge its floods of molten minerals with an energy not a little startling. If we take into account the amount of incandescent matter discharged, the length, breadth and depth of the stream, and the time of its continuance, this eruption has no parallel in the history of volcanic phenomona with which we are acquainted. . — : �1857 local calamity? And, when a State or EmTo the Centurion Christ said: As thou believed so be it done unto thee." pire is in distreiss, when appalling judgments " According to your faith so be it unto threaten, when dark clouds of wrath over" hang and a fiery horizon encircles it, has not you." " I have never said to the seed at Jacob, the proclamation often gene forth from the seek ye me in vain." "All things are possible to him that be- lieveth." "He will hear the prayer of ihe humble, and not despise their prayer." To the woman of Canaan : " O, woman, great is thy faith ; be it unto thee even as thou wilt." Texts of the same import might be greatly inultipled ; but those cited are sufficient. 111. Sonic of the Scriptural examples of answer to prayer. These are very numerous. I select a few only : First, take the case of Jacob, wrestling with God for deliverance from Esau Gen. xxxn ; and the result: Gen. xxxm. See, also, the prayers of Moses, in Egypt, at the Red Sea and in the wilderness. How strikingly and promptly they were answered. The prayers,-also, of Gideon, of Hannah, of Samuel, of David and of Solomon are in point. But the prayers of Elijah and Elisha are among the most striking in the Old Testament. The prayers, also, of Hezekiah, of Josiah, of Asa and of Jehosaphnt, when threatened with invasion, and when in deep distress, were promptly answered. So, also, were the prayers of Job, of Daniel and his friends, and of Ezra in camp at Ahava. In the New Testament we also find the same facts thickly studding those glorious pages. The leper, the Centurion, Janus, the blind man, the Syro-Phoenccian woman, the prayers of the church for Peter in prison, of Paul and Silas in the dungeon, and many other of a like character, all show that our God is a prayer-answering God, and that we may always trust Him with all confidence, not only for spiritual but also for all necessary temporal good. He is as truly the God of the material as of the spiritual universe, and He who listens to thesong of seraphim and cherubim, hears also the young ravens when they cry, gives meat to the young lions when they roar, watches the the nest of the sparrow and numbers the hairs of his saints. IV. We now ask what have been the doctrine and the practice of the Christian church on this subject? It is a historical fact, that in all ages, from the days of Christ to the present time, the devout and evangelical portion of this church have believed and taught the doctrine of a special, superintending and controling Providence in all the affairs of the universe, the minute as well as the vast; the complicated and occult as well as the simple and plain. To prove this I might cite confessions, declarations, prayers, sermons, lectures, and uncounted tomes of theology. But the fact is so obvious that I will not impose such a task on your time and patience. And if we look at the example of Christians, we find the same great fact prominent in all ages of the church. What has bee* more common than special, private, social and public prayers for a sick friend, a minister, a ruler, etc. ? And how often have particular churches or sections of country been called to fast and pray for the averting ol some : throne and the altar, calling upon all, the high and the low, to fast and pray and sit in sackcloth. War, famine, pestilence, drought, earthquake, tempest, and other public calamities, have all been considered by the pious as so many trumps of God, calling on his people to enter into their chambers, to shut their doors about them, and to humble themselves before Him whose wrath clothes the heavens in sackcloth and makes the pillars of the earth tremble. Why was England on her knees before the great Arbiter of Nations at the approach of the falsely called " Invincible Armada ?" And why did Jehovah thunder upon that infernal fleet, and scatter and break that armament with a tempest in his wmth ? And why ditl President Taylor proclaim a last throughout the American Republic when the cholera hovered, like an angel of death, over all that land t And when that messenger of wrath, the small pox, invaded the little, quiet and healthful kingdom of Hawaii, why did His Majesty, Kaniehameha 111., call upon his people to fast and pray and humble themselves before the God in whose hand our breath is ? Can there be any connection between prayer and the object desired ? How can prayer crystalize melted rocks; turn the current of nn incandescent river; hush the tempest; cause the heavens to give rain ; clothe the bronzed and burning earth with verdure; still the raging ocean ; scatter a marshaled host of warriors ; neutralize a deadly malaria ; move the hearts of monarchs on the throne and of monsters in the deep; control the motions of the heavenly orbs, or affect the wheels of universal nature? These are questions we cannot answer. The modus operandi—the how is with God. The fact is proclaimed in the Bible, published in all history, preached throughout Christendom and confessed in all prayers. " All things whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive"—even to the uprooting of mountains and casting them into the sea, and to the arresting of the sun in his career through the heavens. He chains the tempest, He holds the thunder. He sweeps the skies upon his storm car, He raises and hushes the ocean wave, and all this in answer to the prayer of the humble and contrite. Y. One more point remains, viz Would any other teaching be according to the inspired Word or honorable to God ? " Call upon Me,'' says God, " in the day of trouble. 1 will hear thee and thou shalt glorify Me." : David savs, in the ifcid Psalms, "Our fathers trusted in Thee and Thou didst deliver them. They cried unto Theeand were delivered. They trusted in Thee and were not confounded." Again, he says, " The King shall joy in thy strength, O Lord ! and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice ! Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips." It has been the character of Bible saints, not only to pray but to expect the blessing asked for ; and not only to look for and expect the desired favor, but to know and thankfully acknowledge, it when received. 35 THE FRIEND. MAY, And more—to feel and say that it came from Cod in answer to prayer. Such has been the simple faith of multitudes of the saints. Without sophistry, speculation, phyItiMiphy or doubt, they have received the fact on the promise of Cod and on the testimony of observation and experience. And is there any other way in which we can expound the Bible, or give evidence that we believe it, or honor that Cod whose Word is yea and amen and who has not said to the seed of Jacob seek ye Me in vain ? When Moses prayed that the awful thunders of Egypt might cease, that the successive plagues which fell on Pharaoh might be suspended, that the beleagurod tribes at the Red Sea might be delivered, that Amalek might be discomfited, that the offerings of Koran and Dothan might not be accepted, or that the rebels in the wilderness might not be consumed by the fire of Cod's jealousy—did he hesitate to believe that Cod granted the very petitions he asked ? or was he slow or timid in recording the facts to the honor of a holy and faithful Cod t Did be say to the multitudes around him and to an infidel world, there may or there may not have been an "immediate connection between those prayers and the results which followed ? Would this have honored Cod ? Would this have been biblical ? Would it have been the language of a bold, yet simple and childlike faith ? And when Joshua, in prayer to God, said, stand thou still on Gibeon, and thou Sun, " Moon in the Valley of Ajalon," would it have honored God in the eyes of an unbelieving world to have said, like a philosopher, "The. physical laws of nature are uniform and unalterable ; therefore the idea that the sun rested in its course is an illusion, unphilosophical and impossible." When Hannah prayed for an heir to be consecrated to the Lord ; when Samuel prayed for a storm of thunder and lightening in the timeof wheat harvest; when David entreated that God would turn the counsel of Ahitophel to foolishness; when Elijah entreated that the heavens might be shut for three years and six months; when he again asked that they might be opened, and the burning eaith refreshed with rain; when he prayed for fire to fall on the Captain and his fifty, or upon the sacrifice at Carmel; when Elisha besought the Lord to smite the Syrian army at Dothan with blindness; when Hezekiah and Isaiah and the sackcloth clad elders of Israel fasted, and wept and prayed that God would save Jerusalem from the wrath of Sennacherib; when Hezekiah afterwards prayed that the shadow might go back ten degrees on the dial of Ahaz ; when Asa and Jehosophat en* treated to be delivered from the overwhelming hosts that were arrayed against them; when Jonah cried to God out of the belly of hell; when Daniel prayed in the lions' den; when he wrestled for the return of the captive Jews ; when Shadrach and his companions cried to God in a burning furnace; when Ezra, encamped with the returning captives at Ahava, proclaimed a fast and besought God for protection from the robbers on the way to Judea, because he had told the king that the hand of his God was upon all those for good who sought him, while his power and his wrath were against all who forsook him, and while he was ashamed to �36 require of the THE FRIEND.
