JUNE 186S. British Congregational Missionaries. and A friend has kindly loaned us the " Congregational Year Book " for 1569, published in London. This is a large volume of more than 400 pages, giving a great amount of statistical information respecting Congregational or Independent ministers and their churches scattered throughout Great Britain, the Colonies, and the heathen world. From this book, it appears that there are in Kntland ftvjliiul W.I",..' Iretond Colonic. Korelf n minima, Totnl, ;d mi linlst*:ers. 1,822 OPr. Iii nt-t 104 «gM «1 265 '■i.»85 This footing up shows a much larger number than we had imagined could be enumerated in that land, where Episcopacy, Methodism and the Baptists hold so commanding a position. We were much interested in looking over the list of foreign missionaries, now laboring in the South Seas, India, China, Africa, Madagascar and the West Indies. It is well knowß that these are all laboring under the patronage of the London Missionary Society, that veteran and venerable association, which is the pioneer Society among Protestants engaged in the foreign missionary work. in round numliers, foreign Congregational missionaries, compared with Congregational ministers preaching at home, would be about as one to ten. We have not statistical tables at hand to verify the assertion, but we do not imagine that other Protestant denominations are sending forth more than owe in ten of their ordained ministers to preach the gospel among the unevangelized nations of the earth. This proportion -appears smati—only one in ten—while the inhabitants of heathen lands so vastly out-number even professedly nominal Christians. We fear candidates for the Christian ministry in Europe and America are as yet very far from coming up to a full appreciation of the command, " Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Well did the Duke of Wellington style this command the " inarching orders " of the Christian ministry. From the volume we have here noticed, we might also glean much more of interest relating to the Congregationalist or Independent ministers of Great Britain. As a denomination, they appear to be aggressive and vigorous, the patrons of schools and seminaries, and insist upon a thorough theological training as an essential requisite for the Christian ministry. From all we can gather, the Congregational ministers of Great Britain favorably compare with the ministers of other denominations in ability, scholarship, eloquence, and all those essential qualifications which form, in the estimation of the Apostle Paul, " a workman, that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Hawaiian Evangelical Association. To-day, June Ist, this ecclesiastical association convened ut the Lecture Room of Kawaiahao Church. There was a full attendance from all parts ofthe Islands. The Hawaiian pastors and delegates now much out-number the foreign members. The contrast is most striking between the body as now organized, and the old general meeting" of the American missionaries. Young " {®0> Safes, f01.25. Hawaii is coming upon the stage, nnd as in the Hawaiian Parliament, so in the meetings of the Association, Hawaiians out-number foreigners. In glancing over the assembly of ministers and delegates, we notice the following representatives of the American missionaries and their sons: • Hawaii— Hilo—Rev. T. Coan, Rev. D. B. Lyman.

Watoli—Mr. Wilcox. Absent—Rev. L. Lyons, Waimea, Hawaii; Rev. S. E. Bishop, Dr. Wetmore, Hilo, Hawaii. Rev. Mr. Pogue is in California. Arrival of the Morning Star.—We gladly welcome this vessel on her return from the Marquesas, whither she sailed about two months ago. The delegate, the Rev. L. Smith, D. D., returned safely, and reports most favorably respecting the prospects and prosperity of the Hawaiian missionaries. During the past year six new church buildings have been erected, and about fifty united with the several mission churches. The Rev. Mr. Keiwi, of the Oomoa station, on Fatuhiva, returned. The missionary families were all well. The vessel had a long passage to the islands of thirty-six days, but returned in only eleven and a half days. This was a remarkably quick passage.

This is the title which we find heading a pamphlet containing ihree sermons preached in the city of Worcester, Mass., by the Key. M, Richardson, Pastor of Salem St. Church. The course of reasoning in these discourses indicates that the Christian divine shrinks not from grappling with those questions of science which some have endeavored to discuss in a manner injurious to the cause of divine revelation. The preacher nptly remarks in his opening discourse, " As chemistry teaches the elementary construction of "The Relation of the Bible bodies ; as medicine deals with diseases and their cure ; so does inspired truth have to do w«h sin and holiness. The Bible is ■ book of religious character. It alludes to a multitude of other subjects, but only as they bear upon this." So long as divines and men of science keep this principle in view, there will he no conflict between the Bible and science. The gospel minister may lay the whole created universe under contribution for the illustration of the sacred volume, and so long ns he keeps within his proper sphere us a Clnistian teacher, he need not fear all the array of sceptics and infidels, however learned in science and philosophy and able they may be, in the language of the great Leibnitz, " to drive nil the sciences abreast." Gospel ministers are the last of all inquirers after truth who should be afraid lest men of science will make discoveries which will overturn the Bible. Every gospel minister well-read and equipped for the pulpit, may rather exclaim in the glowing language of the Rev. Dr. Tyler, Professor in Amherst College: "So far, then, from being alarmed at the progressive influence of science upon religion, it is with emotions of delight too big for utterance that I look down the tract of time, and see, with the eye of faith, science and religion pouring a flood of light upon each other ; seal after seal broken, and page after page of surpassing beauty and glory opened to view simultaneously in nature and revelation; doubts removed, and mysteries explained; the elements conquered, and the passions subdued ; man reclaimed and God honored ; and the world at length irradiated with the blended beams of a sanctified literature and an enlightened Christianity. To the men of that happy day, ' heaven above will indeed be a reward lor heaven enjoyed below.' To behold the dawning of that day, and pray and labor for its approaching consummation, is a privilege which prophets and kings of former times never enjoyed." .

In reading some weeks ago a report of the Britisli army in Abyssinia, we noticed that the soldiers were Buffering for the want of water; but in their extremity they had resorted to the American system of digging wells. We have been sorely puzzled to learn what that system was, which should be styled peculiarly American. The following statement from a London magazine will explain the matter : The American Tube Well.—Probably no invention of the present day is causing among scientific men so much attention as is this exceedingly simple and yet most efficient apparatus for obtaining, in almost-all situations, pure water at a small outlay. It consists of nothing more than an iron tube perforated with holes at the lower end, and shod with a steel point, which enables it readily to penetrate the hardest soil. This tube is driven into the ground vertically by means of repeated blows given by a hollow monkey working on the tube as a guide. These blows are received upon a strong clamp firmly gripping the tube near the ground, the clamp being from time to time raised as the tube descends into the earth. The process of driving is continued until it is ascertained, by means of a plumb lowered into the tube, that a water bearing stratum has been reached. A pump is then attached to the tube, and the water obtained ; at first the water pumped up conies thick and dirty, but altera while it comes clearer and clearer, until that is perfectly pure which remains. It is evident that, apart from the simplicity of the tube-well system, its great advantage is in the purity of the water obtained. In no ordinary dug well is it possible to prevent surface water and drainage from mixing with the purer water springing from the bottom ; indeed, it is very questionable if in any case an open well is more than a cesspool in whitii the drainage from all the surrounding soil is collected. The unhealthy character of many localities may fairly be traced to tht! deleterious nature of the water supply arising from this cause, and it must always be n matter of vital importance to obtain water cut ofTfrom these impurities, and if possible drawn direct from ihe natural source. This the patent tube-well system most completely effects, for the tube driven into the ground seals up the well from all surface drainage ; indeed, if the sinkers come to water inferior in quality or quantity, they may drive through that into u lower and better stratum, and completely exclude the upper water; and then, as they pump, the smaller particle! of soil pass through the perforations into the well and are drawn up. leaving behintl a bed of gravel and small stones, which forms a natural reservoir and filter to each well, and insures the purity of the waiter subsequently pumped up. This invention is known and appreciated by the Americans, who employed it in the Northern army to supply their troops with water all through the campaigns. It is of more recent introduction into this country, but is already beginning to be adopted by all those who value the purity of water. The government, after testing it practically at Aldershot, have sent a special brigade and ■ , JUNE, I -S *» S. 43 For Hit I'ricinl. number of wells with the Abyssinian expediOtR hne eef. tion.

The oilier and third son was at Sebastopol, at the taking of Canton, and has been two years in the Forest Rangers in New Zealand, and was also with Garibaldi in Italy and Naples. How they have all escaped is indeed a wonder and a mercy. " Poor old Greenwich Hospital, so many years the asylum of the war-worn and brave defenders of our land !

But have not the Chinese statesmen been studying of late years the great work of the American Wheaton on the " Laws of Nations ? " That work has been translated into Chinese by one of the American missionaries. It appears perfectly natural and logical for the Chinese to take a step in advance. Among the Chinese and Japanese there are men of great learning and shrewdness. They are ready to meet the emergences which have been forced upon them, but like Conservative statesmen the world over, they will not go ahead until pushed forward by the Radicals. ment.—The Good Physicians.—William Howitt, who is over 73 years of age, says he had four doctors—Temperance, Exercise, Good Air and Good Hours.

A little shaking, a sudden lurch, and she was on beams' ends. And there she lay, a warning to all passing ships not to take as freight, or provisions, what, in all probability, would cause a mutiny on board to deprive the captain and officers of all authority, and give up the management of the ship to ignorance and haphazard. Now all this risk and loss was brought about by disregarding the sailing directions and the chart. Here is the caution in the sailing directions: "Look not on the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder." If you heed not this caution, will be as he that lieth down in the " you of midst the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast." It is well to have a convoy, when in danger of pirates ; but it is not so pleasnnt to Nauta. have a policeman for a convoy. Ritualism Defined.—In a pamphlet by the Hon. Henry Noel, entitled " Ritualism in England,"'we find the following definition of Ritualism : "It is a kind of Popery peculiar to England. Ido not think it could exist in any other country. It is, in fact, an anomalous religion. It is English Popery; Popery without the Pope. It is Protestantism slipping and sliding into Popery. It is Protestantism in a chrysalis state. A chrysalis we know is a grub; it is a caterpillar; it will be a butterfly. So Ritualism is a crub; its Pro.testant legs are gone ; its Papist wings are not yet quite come. I distinctly .'oniiect Ritualism, Puseyism and High Churchism with Popery. I would leave this short sentence on your mind. High Churchism is low Popery. In Ritualism, England and Rome meet and kiss each other." �I UK rRIK N IK JUNE, I sfi 8 44 .

He contemplates a similnr course on China. His aim is to show the history, workings and results of modern missions, and awaken among his people a more intelligentand earnest interest in the cause of missions itself.—Occident. We are glad to read notices like this in a California religious newspaper. The subject of missions to the unevangclized nations of Asia and Africa, is one which should be brought before the churches of Christian lands. Any church that does not actively engage in spreading abroad the Christian religion among the heathen, is unworthy to bo called Christian. The pastor bringing the subject before his people, will not only rail forth contributions, but awaken an interest nnong the young, which will lead some to ■seek an education for the very purpose of preaching the gospel in heathen lands. Every church ought to send at least one of its members on a foreign mission. In order to accomplish this object, the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, of Oakland, is pursuing the right course, and we should be glad to learn that every pastor in California and Oregon was following his example. European Correspondence. tNot a few Hawaiian born are now resi- sts and travelers in foreign lands. It is ceedingly pleasant occasionally to receive eir hearty aloha, and read their correspondce. We have been favored with a few paragraphs from the lengthy letters (written to family friends) of Mrs. Weaver, formerly Miss Armstrong, who is now traveling in Europe and the Orient. Venice, November 15, 1867. , From Geneva, we took a steamboat to the other end of Lake Geneva; then by rail and carriage through the Rhone Valley, walled in by high, snow-capped Alps, and in many places almost a stranger to sunlight, and in consequence, the home of deformed, idiotic humanity. The goitre prevails, too. It is a swelling of the glands of the neck, often the size of an ostrich egg, and most unsightly. The contrast between nature and humanity is perfectly marked. Resting one night in the antique village of Chion, next by carriuge and four, we slowly ascend Simplon Pass by the famous roail built by Napoleon I. for lbe passage of his army into Italy. It cuts the mountain side, tunnels through obstacles, crosses deep gorge* by wonderful bridges, and baffles the avalanche in its stability. At various points are reluges built for the benighted and weary traveler, uninhabited, and open to all. On the summit stands the Hospice, kept by monks, and supplied with dops, as on St. Bernard. These monks do not like to entertain ladies, so we passed on to a little inn lor the night. Excelsior I can appreciate as never before. " The shades of night were tailing fa>l " as we n cared the summit, where the white dome of Mt. Simplon cut the starspangled sky. Beneath us were the shades and torrents of the valley, and beyond us, the vista of distant Alps. No pen can describe the scene of vision as I recall it. A strange sense of the insignificance of man creeps over one in these palaces of nature. One day in the descent brought us to the sunny lake of Maggiore, within Italian borders, and into a soft atmosphere. The lake is a summer resort, and remarkable for its islands. Isola Bella, owned for centuries by a family of Italian counts, sustains a regal police, with mosaic floors and frescoed walls, richly carved furniture, &c. : but its wonder lies in the garden, which is built after the manner of the hanging gardens of Babylon, in many terraces. The soil is brought from the tropics, and is often renewed—so that within sight of Alpine snows, flourish lemon, citron, orange and cork trees, with cedar of Lebanon, olive and banana trees. There were grottos draped in vines, ferns and mosses, while under the shades lurked marble fawns and cupids. I found many friends among the flowerts, and had quite an aloha over the lantana. From this lake we passed on to Lake Lugnno, fringed with queer little villages; thence to " Como's shores," the theme of poets and artists, and one of Byron's favorite haunts, referred to in Childe Harold. It is a charming spot, and the climate superb. We had some glorious moonlight sails over the quiet waters. Now follow tne to the town of Como, once a splendid city, and distinguished as the home of the Plinys and Dr. Volta. In the museum we saw the rude instrument with which he formed his voltaic battery. Next we arrived at Milan, a lively Parislike city, well kept, and full of churches. The cathedral is a magnificent afTair. It looks, and is. a mass of embroidered marble. There are seven thousand statues placed, anil three thousand yet to be completed. Five hundred turrets, each terminated by a statue (aside from the mnin tower), cut the sky. It will require sixty years to complete the grand work, with two hundred workmen constantly employed. I have no patience with a religion that locks up its wealth in its churches, while the country is swarmed with beggars. A few of the jewels from the altars would give bread and light to many. Poor Garibaldi has failed again. He would do much for Italy, and she sadly needs a change ; but the end is not yet. The Italian Government is suppressing monasteries and convents, and has offered for sale a large amount of church property, which shows the direction of the title. Let me tell you of our entrance into Venice, under the moon. Oh, it was fairy like!—passing over the line new railroad, connecting the seventy islands of the main land, into the depot, then down broad stone steps to a gondola (shaped as you see in pictures), with high bowsand stern,and gliding through the water streets, through which the tide has eblied and flowed for more than a thousand yean; by palaces of other days, nil frescoed and carved, but worn with the marks of time; in and out through narrow, dark alleys, and into the broad canal, and under tin veritable bridge of sighs to th" door of tb" hotel, once a palace of the Doges,— such was our entrance into the city of the sea. There is a weird stillness about the place. No rattling of carts, not a house to be seen, and even the bark of a dog is a rarity. Not a tree, or any green thing, save a sickly at-w tempt at a botanical garden on one of thn seventy islands. The evenings we often enjoy in a gondola on the grand canal, the Fifth Avenue or Montgomery Street of the city, cntertnined by our own fancies, and the musical tip of the boatman's oar. 1 do not wonder that Byron loved these haunts, since there is everything here to develop a poetical nature. Venire Itonsts of nearly seventy churches, nil triumphs'of art. The finest is St. Murks Cathedral, for its walls are a mass of rich mosaic and frescoes, by the masters, and the floor is all line marble mosaic, while the pillars are of alabaster and the choicest oriental marble. The high altar is said to contain the bones of St. Mark, the Apostle, translated, or rather stolen from Alexandria. In the baptistery are a chair and bits of his parinents, and.of course, a bit of the cross. The choicest relic is a large stone brought from Jerusalem, from which Christ ascended. On it foot-priuts are distinctly visible. In al' faith, they showed the block on which John the Baptist was beheaded. 1 have seen crowds of poverty stricken victims of superstition pay their mite to the priest and kiss these relics. Skulls, teeth, &c.,are a source of revenue to the church. Very near us is the Ducal palace, lenowned for its extensive picture gallery, where the Venetian school ol art can be enjoyed. Tintoretti, Titian and Paul Veronica are my favorites here. Titian's finest work, since the burning of St. Peter, the martyr, the assumption of the Virgin is the most life-like and speaking canvas I ever saw. The immortal bridge of sighs 1 send you on paper. The palace, of the Doges is on the left, and the prison on the right. The prisoners pass from trial in the palace, over the bridge to prison ; hence the name. Near us is Shylock's bridge, standing as in the past —rows of shops on either side. I had a most interesting chat with a Capuchin monk in the Armenian convent, situated on one of the islands, the other duy. He was a Turk, and a perfect gentleman. lam bored with hand-organs. Often five or six a day afflict me. A wealthy lady left a dowry for the doves here, which have been reverenced from time immemorial, and ever day, as the clock in the old bell tower strikes two, they come from all quarters to be fed in the public square, never falling to notice the time. 1 often feed a dozen or more from my window sill. Never banned, they know no fear. Fi.orknci:, November 22. Leaving Venice hastily, I did not mail my letter. We came by way of Padua and Bologna, of sausage memory, and over the Appenine Mountains. Florence is a delightful place, and the Pitti palace a wilderness of choice pictures. Mr. Powers received us in his studio very kindly, where we saw the Greek Slave in all her majesty. 1 have feasted, my eyes on the Verms Dc Medici and Canova's Venus in the palace, and made a pilgrimage to Mrs. Browning's quiet grnve. We go from here to Rome, via Pi a and Leghorn. I will write from the cterr-1 city. — �46 The Good Pilot THE KRIKMI. JINK, 1868. ; or, Jesus All in All. On a stormy night, some years since, upon New Jersey coast, Mr. Holmes, of the *ife-boat station, was awakened from his sleep by the low, heavy sound of a cannon booming over the angry water. As he listened, found that the sounds came at regular invals of a minute, and his practiced ear directly understood the warning notice of distress indicated by "The Minute Gun ut Sea." Rousing from his rest, he quickly manned his life-boat, and launched on the boiling waves. In the pitchy darkness he could only determine the direction of the vessel in distress by his ear ; and as he listened, he bent his helm and guided his boat nenrer and till at last a long flash of lightning _the « farer, owed a noble vessel stranded on 'an outer r, with a raging sea between it and the shore. Escape for the passt ngers was im- possible. As well might they plunge in the wide ocean as into that angry sea; and the waves, as they rolled in, broke over the vessel with a force that would by-and-by break it into pieces. The lurid lightning only showed to the panic-struck passengers the hopelessness of escape. While they were thus giving themselves up to despair, the brave pilot was approaching them nearer and nearer, though undiscovered by them. The waves beat so high, that in vain he tried to board the vessel on the windward side, and he came under her lee; but so rapidly was his life-boat driven, that here, too, the hope of boarding was vain. His bold heart and clear head in a moment, however, devised an expedient. As he passed under the vessel, he seized a rope hanging from a yard-arm—he raised himself by it— his boat was swept from under him, and he swung himself on the wreck, to share the fate of the passengers and crew. He called them to him, and told them that, "if they would trust him," he could wear the ship ofT the bar, and carry them safe to land. Astonished by his heroism and self-devotion, officers, crew and passengers, by common consent, gave everything into his hands, "and every soul on board was saved." When they had all safely reached the beach,they brought to their brave pilot the precious things they had saved on their person from the wreck, and besought him to accept all they had, for him alone they owed their lives, their all. 5 had placed himself in their sinking eck, and saved them from a watery grave.

And notice, dearreader, if you are a Christian, yet one other thing. The brave pilot made no bargain with the wrecked mariners. All he asked was for them to trust him. He did not first demand their valuables, and refuse to save them unless they would bestow them all upon him. He saved them freely, and then their hearts were opened to pour out all they had to their deliverer. Yet how many, in undertaking to proclaim the gospel of God's grace, state it as though God thus demanded from the poor sinner the sacrifice of nil his treasures before he will listen to his cry for mercy. But, ah, no! God's way is very different. He saves us freely, and thus wins our hearts ; so that, as we contemplate His mighty love, we feel that nothing is too near or too dear to pour out for " Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to Him be glory and dominion for"ever and ever."
