We rejoice to learn from the Hawaiian Gazette of June 24th that the Hawaiian Government has taken higher ground in regard to the introduction of laborers into this Kingdom. If we understand the principles adopted in the management of bargains with the Japanese, the old coolie system is superseded or abolished. This is a step in the right direction. It is following the principles of the American Government, which passed laws as early as 1862, subjecting ship-owners and their agents to fine and imprisonment if they should engage in the coolie trade, which has been found in many instances to be but a slight modification of the African slave trade. In one respect it even is wanting a redeeming feature of that abominable trade. We refer to the point of bringing from China, and other countries where coolies are to be obtained, none but male laborers. African slavers transport men, women and children ; whole families go together ! We would call the attention of our readers to an article found in another portion of our columns, respecting the coolie system as now carried on in Queensland, Australia. We copy the article from a London publication of high character. There can be no ilnnlit that the crossest imposition and cru- system of compulsion, or any system which did not embrace whole families. We do not believe the introduction of a large number of male laborer alone from any country into the Hawaiian Islands will prove advantageous to our islands and aboriginal community. England in her excellent Colonial system sends out families. America is made strong, vigorous and rich, because whole families—men, women and children—go over from the over-populated countries of Europe. We want laborers, but' at the same time we desire to see growing up a healthy, moral and religious community. Installation.

This mission was commenced in 1853 under the auspices of the Hawaiian Missionary Society, and in answer to a call from Matuunui, a Marquesan chief. Two native pastors and two school teachers and their Rev. wives were sent out as pioneers, James Kekela and wife ; Rev. Samuel Kauwealoha and wife; Mr. J. W. Kaiwi and wife, and Mr. L. Kuihelani and wife. Mr. James Hicknell, a carpenter by trade, volunteered to accompany them, and aid them as he might have time and opportunity. The Society appointed Rev. B. W. Parker as their delegate to go and introduce the missionaries into this difficult field. They chartered the English brig Royalist, Capt. Harris, for $2,000 to take the missionaries and their outfit (via Tahiti) to Fatuiva, and after satisfactorily locating the families, to return the delegate again to Honolulu. The brig sailed on the 16th of June, and arrived at Fatuiva on the 26th of August, after a passage of two months and ten days. They were all located ut Oojnoa, on Matuunui's land, and lived together more than three years, acquired the language, taught school, and held meetings on the Sabbath. In 1856, the Society chartered the schooner John Young (40 tons), Capt. Tabor, to go and take supplies to that mission. Rev. L. Smith went as delegate. The schooner was 36 days on her passage to Fatuiva—stood at anchor 10 days, and returned in 14 days. Two natives were received to the Oomoa church this year, and Mrs. L. Kuihelani died in the month of August. viz: In 1857, the brig Morning Star, Capt. Moore, took supplies to that mission. Rev. J. S. Emerson went as delegate ; Namakeha, a Hawaiian chief, his wife and servant, and J. E. Chamberlain, Esq., went as passengers. Rev. A. Kaukau and wife went at this time to reinforce the mission. During their general meeting at Hanahi, J. W. Kaiwi, one of the teachers, was ordained to preach the gospel. One native was received to the church. On the return of the Morning Star, Messrs. Bicknell and Kuihelani came home on a visit. During this visit Mr. Bicknell was ordained and appointed a missionary of the Society. In 1858, the Morning Star, Capt. Johnson, made her second trip, and was 40 days on her outward passage. Rev. A. Bishop went us delegate. Rev. J. Bicknell and Mr. Kuihelani and his second wife returned as passengers. P. Kapohaku and L. Kaiwi and their wives went at this time to reinforce the mission. Five natives were received to the church at Oomoa. On the return of Capt. Johnson, Rev. J. Kekela came home on a visit with his son Hunnewell. , 1868. In 1859, the Morning Star, Capt. Brown, made her third trip to the Marquesas Islands. As Rev. James Kekela was to return from his visit home, no delegnte was sent this year. On arriving at Oomoa, Capt. Brown heard of the wreck of the whaleship Twilight, Capt. Hatha way, at Hanamenu, on the island of Hivaoa, and he made haste to aid the unfortunate seamen, and give them a passage to Honolulu. Capt. Brown was 81 days in making this voyage to and fro. In 1860, the Morning Star, Capt. Brown, left Honolulu on the 2Sth of February, and arrived at Tahuaka in 24 days. Rev. T. Coan was delegate. Mr. Coan visited the missionaries at their several stations on Tahuaka, Hivaoa and Fatuiva, holding their general meeting at Hanaiapa. Two persons were received to the church at Puamau this year. On her voyage this year, the Morning Star was absent 77 days. In 1861, on her fifth voyage to the Marquesas, the Morning Star was under the command of Capt. Gelett; Dr. L. H. Gulick, delegate. Mr. Z. Hapuku and wife went and joined the mission at this time. Five natives were received to the church at Oomoa this year. Paulo Kapohaku and wife were recalled at this time on account of his having become blind, and unable to read or travel over the precipices. By this opportunity, Rev. J. Bicknell returned to Honolulu, and soon after-resigned his connection with the mission. In 1862, the Morning Star, Capt. Gelett, made her sixth visit. Rev. D. Baldwin was delegate. Mr. G. W. Laiohavand wife went out to reinforce the mission. One person was received to the church this year. Mr. L. Kaiwi was recalled, his wife having forsaken her family. Rev. L. Kuihelani and wife were also recalled, on account of his inefficiency. In 1863, the Hawaiian Board chartered the schooner Manuokawui, Capt. Bent, to carry supplies to the mission; Rev. B. W. Parker, delegate. The schooner was 45 days in going from Honolulu to Uapou. During this year 1,000 natives died of the small-pox on Nuuhiva, and 500 on Uapou. Arrangements were made with the missionaries at this time not to send them supplies again till 1865. In 1865, the Morning Star, Capt. James, visited the mission ; Hon. John li, delegate. The vessel was 30 days to Uapou. Rev. J. Bicknell went as passenger, und brought some 20 Marquesans to Oahu to teach them the Christian religion. In 1867, the new Morning Star, Capt. Bingham, carried the supplies ; Rev. T. Coan and Rev. B. W. Parker, delegates. Miss Carrie P. Parker, Miss Maria 0. Kekela, Mr. B. H. Nagle and nine Marquesans went They had a passage of 35 and were detained among Uapou, days the islands 24 days. During this visit Mr. Z.

To the church at Puamau, 7 were received; to the church at Oomoa, 18—in all 48. The total number now received to these churches is 62, 5 of whom have died, leaving 57 in good standing. In 1868 (March 26th), the new Murning Star, Capt. Adolph Tengstrom, Rev. L. Smith, delegate, sailed from Honolulu, and arrived at Unpou on the Ist of May, 36 days passage. went as Samuel Kapaha, a Marquesan, passenger. The following are signs of progress during the last 12 months : Six new meeting houses have been built, and the gratuitous labor of the people upon said houses is valued at $130. Fifty persons have been baptized and received to the several churches, making the total number received from the commencement 112, 6 ot whom have died, and 7 are now suspended, leaving 99 in good and regular standing. The Morning Star was eleven and a half days from Uapou to Honolulu. On account of ill health, Rev. J. W. Kaiwi came home on a visit. "Queen Emma's Countryman is a Pagan." No, Mr. Dixon, author of "New America," Queen Emma's countryman is no pagan. The aborigines of these Islands are no more pagans than the people of the British Islands. We fancy Mr. Dixon must have drawn his views of the present condition of Queen Emma's countrymen from those rhetorical flourishes and oratorical flights which the Bishop of Oxford threw off when describing Hawaiians as " children of nature, children of the air, children of the light, children of the sun, children of beauty, taking their greatest pleasure in the dance." We copy this remark from Dixon's new book. It is to be found on page 256, where the writer is describing the lour races in America, viz : the Anglo-Saxon, Negro, Chinese and InYou may sit dian. He thus remarks: " some house with at dinner miner's in down a dozen guests who shall not be matched in contrasting types and colors in a Cairene bazaar, an Aleppo gateway, or a Stamboul mosque. On either side of you may set a Polish Jew, an Italian count, a Choctaw chief, a Mexican rancher, a Confederate soldier (there called a ' whitewashed Reb'), a Mormon bishop, a Sandwich Island sailor, a Parsee merchant," (and London Cockney.) Mr. Dixon indulges in a strain of free and easy remarks on the various religious tenets �ill X of the motley assemblage at this dinner table. He styles the Italian an infidel; the Mexican a Catholic; the Negro a Methodist—an Episcopal Methodist; the Choctaw a worshiper of the Great Spirit; the Chinese a Buddhist. In order to round out and polish off the paragraph, he sty!"s " Queen Emma's countryman a pagan." We do not propose to prove the Sandwich Islander no pagan, by referring to the Missionary Herald, the reports of the or Bishop Staley's Pastoral, but we would narrate the following Evangelic*! Association, incident : Some years p go an Irish titled gentleman and his accomplished sister were visiting the Islands in their travels around the world. They visited the volcano on Hawaii. After leaving Hilo, they pursued their journey, putting up for the night at ihe half-way house between Hilo and the volcano. " Mine host" was one of Queen Emma's countrymen. The weary travelers retired for the night " to sleep, perchance to dream." A suspicious noise was heard near the head of his bed. The wakeful traveler grasps his revolver. Awful moment of surprise! Perhaps the fate which Cook experienced is to be that of Ins countryman Fortunately he reserves his fire, but with his finger still upon the trigger he watches the savage pagan. The terrified traveler imagines that he may be searching for some deadly weapon concealed under the thatch; but.no! it was for his Famdy Bible, for before retiring he must offer his devotions and read his Bible. The scene which followed may well be set forth in Burns' beautiful lines, describing the " Cotter's Saturday Night: ! " priest-like father reads the sacred pa^c, " The How Ahram was the friend of God on high; Or Moses bade eternal warfare wage With Amclek's ungracious progeny; Or how the royal bard did groaning lie Beneath the stroke of God's avenging ire; Or Job's pathetic plaint, or wailing cry; Or rapt Isaiah's wild, seraphic fire; Or other holy seers that tune the sacred lyre. " Then kneeling down to heaven's Eternal King, The saint, the father, the husband prays; Hope springs exalting on triumphant wing, That thus they alt shall meet in future days." The sudden revulsion in the feelings of the stranger and his sister can be better imagined than described. An angel of peace suddenly had come to the dwelling ; kindly, grateful and fraternal emotions were awakened. The subject of Queen Victoria learned a lesson from Queen Emma's countryman, which he will not probably ever forget. He related this incident in our hearing after his return from the volcano, and Mr. Dixon might doubtless hear it repeated if he should ever , Ireland. in his travels visit Two hearts which mutually love, are like two magnetic clocks ; that which moves in one must move in the other, for it is the samp rtower which act-* in both.— ijocthe. MM X ,\ l>, 51 JUL V, 1868. Peep at Mission Life in the South Seas, part of the examination. Abraham Touauor the Rev. L. Smith's Report as Delegate veau, one of the chiefs, now a church memto the Marquesas Islands. On the return of the Morning Star from her recent trip to the Marquesas Islands, the delegate made a long and satisfactory report to the Hawaiian Board and the Evangelical Association. The latter was in the Hawaiian language, while the former was in English. We have carefully read over the report, hut cannot publish it entire, as it would occupy so much of our little sheet, and as we have published in former years much relating to that mission. In another column will be found a brief historical sketch of that mission. The report however of Mr. Smith calls attention to several points of interest, which we shall notice. 1. Church Building. —During the past year six new church buildings have been erected at the several mission stations. Respecting the one at Hakahekau, Mr. Smith thus remarks: " May 2d. Had a pleasant visit with Kauwealoha last night at Hakahekau, and a good meeting this A. M. with SO of his people in his new meeting house. The foundation of this house is an old hula platform, raised three or four feet from the ground. It is a framed building 24 by 13, inclosed with boards ; has a framed door and five small sash windows, a seat around the room, and a table and chair for the minister. The floor is gravel, covered over with a mat of wattled bamboo splirfllrs. It fronts the sea, and is whitewashed inside and out. His people assisted him last August in building it." Other Hawaiian missionaries are engaged in a similar work elsewhere among — Marquesans. 2. Schools.—The missionaries are teaching the young. Some years ago the Rev. Mr. Bicknell brought some Marquesans to Honolulu. They remained under his care and teaching, and then returned as missionaries to their poor, benighted and savage countrymen. Since their return they have been teaching and preaching. Mr. Smith thus refers to their labors at Hanamenu : " Off Hanamenu this morning, and went on shore at 8 o'clock. Honiae and Daniola were glad to see us. At 10 o'clock the horn was blown, and the people assembled in one of the three meeting and school houses. There being three Christian chiefs in this valley, each has his meeting and school house. They alternate and hold their meetings in the different houses, Honiae being their spiritual teacher. The school appeared well. Twenty of the adults had each committed a separate chapter in the New Testament, and recited the same to me verbatim. Then I selected a chapter, when each read a verse. I was very much pleased with this ber, says he is very desirous that the Rev. Mr. Bicknell shall return to Hanamenu and become their teacher. He says he was a reckless, drunken heathen when Mr. B. was here, and cared not for his instructions, but now he has reformed, united with the church, and wishes to be taught. It is very obvious to me that a good, pious, self-denying missionary and his wife would add immensely to our Mnrcpjesan Mission." The Rev. J hekelas Station.— Respecting this station, Mr. Smith thus remarks: " Kekcla's boarding school has failed the past year, but he wishes to make another effort, if he can have the boys, instead of the girls. [Such nn arrangement has been mnde. A school for girls is to be taught by Kauwealoha.] Intemperance has been the order of the day for months, and has reduced his congregation one-half. We had a prayer-meeting in Kekela's middle room, while some twenty-five or thirty wild and savage looking natives were around the doors and windows. Kckela and his people have built a meeting house the past year, where they hold meetings on the Sabbath and his week-day schools. "On returning to the boat, Kekela presented us with a pig, eight bunches of bananas and some breadfruit, for which the Captain gave him several fathoms of rope, a paper of fish-hooks, and some other little articles which he wanted. Arrived on board at 3 P. M„ and set off for Atuonn." The foregoing sketches and extracts wilT furnish our readers with a " peep at mission life" on the Marquesan Islands. There, as elsewhere —in China, Japan, India—mission labors have their bright nnd dark aspects, but still the gospel leaven is spreading and permeating heathen society, mind and life. Christians may find abundant encouragement to press the good work forward. The New York Mail says that Rev. Daniel Lord, of the South Congregational Church at Bridgeport, surprised his audience last Sunday by the announcement from the pulpit that henceforth he would never use tobacco in any form, nor wine except at communion service, as his occasional indulgences in cigars and wine hed been made rocks of stumbling by some of his weakminded parishioners. His determination is certainly most commendable, and some other minister* would do well to turn a short corner in the same direction." The editor of the New York Mail refers to the weak-minded parishioners of a tobaccousing and wine-drinking clergyman ! We think the epithet weak-minded would better apply to the unfortunate clergyman whohad fallen into such pernicious habits. The hint in the closing sentence of the above paragraph is worthy of attention. " �THE CRIENII, JULY, 52 THE FRIEND. JULY 7, isits. Aheong, the Colporteur. At the recent meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, the preliminary steps were taken to employ this gentleman as a laborer among his numerous countrymen oil the Hawaiian Islands. As this M regarded as an important movement in behalf of the Chinese, we wish to call the special attention of our island readers to this subject. For years the spiritual welfare of the Chinese has been a subject of anxious thought to many. Letters have been written to China and California, in order to secure the services of some competent laborer, but without any good result. Providence nppenrs now to hnve been raising up the proper man from among the Chinese. The history of this man Is briefly this : In 1854, Mr. Graves goes to China for coolie laborers. Among them was <ound ABSORB, who was about twenty years of age, and well educated in the literature of China, being competent to write and speak several of the dialects. His services were secured, because he was a competent translator. His father was a school superintendent in China, about 150 miles from Canton. In the wars then raging, Aheono was separated from his family, and compelled to seek employment at one of the seaports. He fell in with an agent of Mr. Graves, and came to the Islands under an engagement for five years. On his arrival he became a laborer of Mr. Torbcrt, who then resided at Ulupnlakua. There he was a clerk in a store on the plantation. When Mr. Torbcrt removed to Makawao, Aheono accompanied him. At that place he became a pupil of the Rev. J. P. Green, and subsequently a sincere follower of Jesus of Nazareth. As years rolled on, Aheono became located at Lahaina as a prosperous merchant. He is connected with th church of the Rev. Mr. Baldwin. At the meeting of the Evangelical Association, he came as delegate from that church. He has a family, and is much respected as a merchant and resident at Lahaina. Agreeable to present arrangements, AheoM will close up his business, and about the Lt ef November enter upon his labors among his countrymen on a salary of $800 per annum. He has already performed much voluntary labor among the Chinese and Hawaiian*, speaking and writing English and Hawaiian as well as the Chinese. He has never been licensed or ordained, but should the arrangement be perfected, ere long he may enter the Christian ministry.

The religious and morul interests of the Colony are, in a particular degree, imby this system, which so closely re:mbles that which has brought such innulerable sufferings upon the American States nd other lands. All the islanders thus iniorted into Queensland are males ; they are pnerally grossly ignorant and licentious; nd hence their condition soon becomes a general social nuisance; when they perceive manner in which they have boon delved, they ajso naturally become resentful d troublesome. But above all, a mostmisievous scandal to the Christian feeling and afession of the Colony is ensuing, in conluence of the compulsory servitude and eked kidnapping of these unfortunate peo- It ierled F Xl KM), JIM, I B*B. senior naval officer on the Australian station, reported to the Governor of Queensland, on the 25th of April, 1567, as follows : -I have lately received reports of the loss of several vessels, and the murder of several Europeans at Hinchinbrook and oilier islands of the New Hebrides group. I enclose an extract from a letter wr.tten by a trader in that group, wherein you will see that he is informed that llie natives say that they are doing these atrocities in revenge for the loss of many of their countrymen who were carried away, three years ago, to Queensland and the Fiji Islands, by Europeans, who hired them as laborers, and promised to return them to their homes in twelve months." A vessel recently arrived at Maryborough in Queensland, bringing a large number of islanders as a speculation. They had been ordered by no one, and were sold by the captain at £!) per head to any one that chose to buy them. Again, a batch o( twenty-six islanders were landed at the Upper Flats in September. The vessel bringing the latter was to have imported sixty instead of twentysix ; but on arriving at the islands her captain found that other ships from Queensland had preceded him, and bad kidnapped those whom he hoped to have secured. The agricultural interest in the Colonial Legislature is very influential, arid seeks to promote the importation of the islanders. With this view a bill has recently been introduced to " regulate and control the introduction and treatment of Polynesian laborers ; " or, in other words, to protect the large agriculturists in their system of imposing engagements fur three years' cheap and servile employment of the " coolies," reserving their wages until the end of the term, and exercising, meantime, compulsory powers of exacting labor under pain of imprisonment. If, as will often happen, the islanders die before the three years terminate, or the employers liecome insolvent, the labor of the former is wholly unremunerated. In a lecture on this subject, recently delivered at Brisbane by Mr. K. Short, he mentioned instances where the naked backs of the islanders had been beaten freely by the Queensland overseer to make them work luster. Again, at the Bowen Police Court, Queensland, in October, 1867, nine island coolies " were brought before the magis"trate by their employer, on a charge of illegally quitting his service. In defense the men pleaded that they had been badly fed, and forced to work on Sundays. The charge was ultimately withdrawn, inasmuch as tho employer admitted that he had failed to feed his men according to agreement. The latter were, however, compelled to return to their work, and were cautioned that in case of further refusal to serve, they would be committed to Rockhampton Jail. One of the men had been .suffering from fever and ngue for ■ fortnight, but it did not appear that the least provision for the needs of licknaN had been made. The good people of Queensland are abundantly warranted in their opposition to this Polynesian "coolie " system, by the experience of a similar system in British Guiana and elsewhere. Speaking of Guiana, the Colonist of March last says " With regard to the moral state of the people, it is almost Captain J. l\ Luce, of H. M.'s S. Esk, the appalling to contemplate the amount of iin- : 53 morality which exists ; and to those who are engaged in the diffusion of education, and the instilling of the principles of Christianity into the minds of the mass of the people, the work at times must appear almost impossible to be overtaken. Amongst the mass of the people lo whom we refer, sensuality is ram>.'j nt in both sexes. Marriage as an instituItion does not exist. Affection for wife or family hns no force. As we walk the streets our ears are perpetually assailed with profane and indecent language, even out of the mouths almost of babes and sucklings." These affecting statements are fully con- firmed by the account of Guinna and its coolies, published by the Rev. Robert Duff, the senior minister of the Church of Scotland in British Guiana. The advocates of the coolie system in Queensland plead that the warmth of the climate renders compulsory labor by colored natives an unavoidable necessity. To this argument it is justly replied that the Syrians, the Persians, and other energetic nations mentioned ir the Bible, were white men, and lived in climates ns hot as, and even hotter than Queensland. Again, Texas, Buenos Ayres. Monte Video and Banda Oriental arc countries quite as hot as Queensland, and the white settlers in those regions do not find themselves unable to work. A very convincing and practical reply to this objection is further afforded by the strong opposition to coolie importation manifested by the poorer classes of European immigrants in Queensland. Thus, when one of the oppressed coolies recently assaulted an overseer and broke his nose, the incident excited expressions of general satisfaction amongst the white laborers in the vicinity. The latter clearly perceive that cheap (and often wholly unpaid) coolie labor will be the degradation and ruin of tha white immigrant. Speaking on this point, a local pro-slavery journal remarks that " those who would throw the slightest obstacle in the way of the introduction of island labor should clear out, and go to some place which suits them better, and where the whites will not come." Very naturally the independent British immigrants in Queensland object to "clear out" in this compulsory manner from the fertile land of their adoption. But their op- ponents are wealthy and influential; and at present the danger is great that a virtual slavery will be established in the young and hitherto free Colony which, in honor of our gracious Sovereign, was named Queensland. It is to be hoped that the matter will receive the earnest attention of the Home Government, and that especially Christian and philanthropic persons in Great Britain will seek for means of sustaining the efforts of the band of good men (none too numerous) who in that distant Colony are seeking to preserve the religion, the morals and the free privileges of their hind from the oppressions of a ruthless avarice. The interests of the Church of Christ, o( the honor of English colonization, of the white race and of the black, are alike concerned in this important question; and we pray God Almighty to bless every exertion which may be made to remove from the people of Queensland the serious danger which now threatens to blight the religious and social prospects of their whole community.— Christian Work. �THE FRIEND, JULY, 1868. 54 City of Osaka, Japan. In the Japan Gazette of March 2"7th we find the following notice of Osaka, a city of 350,000 inhabitants: The commercifrl part of Osaka is of most importance to foreigners. Here are to be found streets of bankers—some establishments as large ns the Bank of England ; drapers with houses containing the fabrics of all nations. In one concern 1 entered they have 300 assistants. In all directions were to be seen Japanese youths nnd men, some with books busy writing, others smoking pipes, others looking nt me. They took me up to the first floor. I sat down and asked to *cc some crapes. They were brought up from a godown below. On inquiry why they did not have them exposed to view, they replied that it was the custom of the house to keep them in the godown to be secure in case of fire. I was permitted to ex- amine the goilowns, eight in number, each devoted to a different class of goods. Among the merchandise were to be seen foreign velvets, carpets, shirtings, camlets, etc. The same firm, or company as 1 imagine it to be, has an establisment of similnr extent, both in Kioto and Yedo. Passing out. I traversed streets in one of which are none but book-sellers ; in another on both sides of the way. shops filled with tobacco pipes ; in another rows of carpenters' tool sellers. From this is entered a town of building materals, and presently a town of rice merchants and dealers. Then there are streets of theatres, some capable of holding 1,000 people. I entered the largest; it was full of men, women and children. It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and many of the audience appeared to be men of business who could afford to waste the best part of the day. In a second theatre 1 went into, an elderly man amused a large audience with witty and laughable readings. Among the audience were vendors of all kinds of edibles hot and cold, consisting of rice, fish, eggs, smoking hot and The bridges are plain, made of wood, in ! JutkoTity. number about 400.

The population numbers between four and five thousand, so that they have one ordained American missionary to about two thousand souls. This we should be obliged to pronounce a force disproportionately large, considering its efficiency, but for the fact that Ponape is the point from which we must push Micronesian native agency westward as far as lap and Pelew. Half the people are now numbered with the Christian party, and some seven hundred can read God's Word. Seven houses of worship are standing, besides two which have been destroyed—one by wind, and one by the torch of an incendiary chief. Nearly four hundred are hopefully converted by Jesus' power, one hundred and seventy-eight of whom have been admitted to the church. The brethren are anxious to this year make explorations westward, and are preparing, with well advised belief in the doctrine of our text, to station some of their converts who are being especially educated for teachers, on some of the groups further towards the setting sun. More has been accomplished on Ponape by the*power of Jesus that when the walls of Jericho fell, or than when the sun stood still upon Gibeon, and the moon in the valley of Ajalon. We make no further application of our subject. The thoughts which have been presented regarding the best modes of working with Jesus in the foreign missionary fields, and the facts given regarding his help vouchsafed in the Marquesan and Micronesian Islands, will, we trust, assist us all the coming missionary year to a more vigorous, humble and individual consecration to foreign and home works for and with Jesus—that name which is above every name, at which every knee shall yet bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth ; and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Gulick reports regarding the temale Seminary at Waialua, Oahu,that there have been connected with the school the past year 78 different pupils. The highest number attained at any time, and which was the number from June to March, was 75. The present number is 74. Of these 26 are from Hawaii; 21 from Maui; 23 from Oahu ; 3 from Kauai, and 1 from Micronesia. One has married during the year, and one has left to teach school at Lihue, Kauai. One pupil has been expelied, and one has died during the year. The one mentioned above as married, and another who is engaged to be married, are under appointment as missionaries of this Board to Micro- nesia. Eight have made a profession of religion during the year, making a total of 29 out of the 78 above mentioned, who are church members. The graduating class in June will number ten. The principal improvement made upon the premises the past year has been the erection of a two-storied school house, at a cost of $1,200 from our own treasury. The American Board have very kindly allowed for the year 1868 82,150, besides $450 for the Principal of the school. Mr. and Mrs. Gulick, assisted by Miss E. W.

The Alaula had during its second volume ending in March, a circulation of 2,647, while during the first year it circulated 3,826. We fenr that the third volume recently commenced has a still more reduced list, though it is not too late even now for the pastors to bring it up, by vigorous efforts. The request made us by the Sabbath School Association of last year that we issue a new book of hymns and tunes ffJr children, has been in substance met by the beautiful music now printed in each number of the Alaula, and which ought to make the paper indispensable to every Hawaiian Sabbath school. The new edition of the Bible, we are sorry to say, has not yet arrived, but we may expect a number of copies in a few days. The American Bible Society has very generously consented to prepare the plates of a pocket edition of the Hawaiian Testament, under the supervision of the Rev. E. W. Clark. Mr. Clark is making good progress in the translation of the American Tract Society's Dictiooary of the Holy Bible." The Ha"waiian shurches are under deep obligations to him for the patient labors he is performing for them in preparing, revising and proofreading for the press. The Rev. J. F. Poguc has prepared an extensive commentary on Matthew, which is in the hands of a committee for revision, and which is very desirable for the Hawaiian student. The Rev. B. W. Parker has performed perhaps about half the labor of preparing the American Tract Society's Bible Test Book " for the press, and we have recently requested the Rev. Dr. Smith to carry it to completion as he may have strength and leisure.

The new Morning Star left on her first voyage to the west on the 1st of July, 1867. She explored the southern part of the Gilbert Islands, visited all our mission stations in Micronesia, and reached Honolulu January 24th, 1868. The reports of her exploration and voyaging have been so fully published in the Frieiid of March, and in the Kuohoa of February and March, that we need but refer to those papers. The Gilbert Island and Marshall Island Missions each held a formal meeting, as we desired, and sent us full reports of their doings. So did the American missionaries of the Marshall Islands and Ponape hold a meeting of their number as a separate mission at Ponape. » Kanoa and Maka have returned with their families to Butaritari under very favorable auspices. Their property was carefully preserved during their absence, and the King of the island has explained and apologized by letter to His Majesty Kamehameha V., saying that his violence was committed when drunk. The missionary vessel Evening Star, built by the children of California, has been sold �SUPPLEMENT TO Tfl E FRIEND, JULY, 1868. for $723 53. Experience has shown us ihat smaller and lighter craft is the most serviceable at this stage of our work. We are consequently furnishing our different stations with boats. No less than four boats are already in use in the Gilbert Islands, viz : the Alfred, Soso, Star of Peace, and the Evening Star 2d, named after the California donation just sold, and another large surfboat was last year sent to Ebon., Still other boats are already called for, and will be from time to time supplied. It is hoped that the owners of the first Evening Star will be satisfied with the change, by winch their one vessel gives place to a whole fleet of very useful, and indeed indispensable, missionary boats, which have already cost very nearly the sum for which their vessel lias been sold. Many of the churches in Micronesia show a spirit of liberality which speaks well for the genuineness of their Christianity. The oil received from the sale of books shows increasing thrift. We tabulate the receipts as a preached word which we had hoped. We rejoice to learn of more hopeful indications upon Apaiang on the arrival of the Morning Star. It i» also a matter for gratitude that the way is open for the safe return of Kanoa and Maka to Butaritari. " We are not able to report so definitely of the work upon the Marshall Islands as we could wish. Mr. Snow and his family left Ebon for Kusaie about the middle of last February. Up to that time there had not been the usual interest in schools, though the attendance and attention to the preached word were perceptibly on the increase. The Sabbath schools were flourishing. After Mr. Snow left, there was a sad rupture in the church, by which a considerable portion of it left the main body, eschewing the Hawaiian teachers. It is to be hoped they will be led to see their wrong and return to love and 63 That nine meeting houses have been built, which also serve as school houses, shows that 'church building' is receiving good attention on the island. The first and best of these passed away before the torch of a hostile, drunken chief. The next best fell to pieces before the violence of the wind, showing that exemption from the violence of man or the destructive elements of Nature is not always the allotment of a superintending Providence. The one hundred and seventysixchurch members fail to represent the hopefully religious state of the people. Perhaps as many more are as worthy of church membership as most of those who are already members. " The proportion of decidedly hopeful cases is proportionably less on the other parts of our field than upon Ponape. So also, the four hundred and fifty-nine who have been received to all our churches from the first, do not indicate nil that has been wrought by the saving power of the Gospel during these fifteen years of missionary labor in Micronesia." duty.
