Dr. Gathrie.—Much space in the late papers is devoted to the character and death of this Divine so wellknown throughout the Christian world. The Queen of England and herdaug hterin Germany were among the sympathizing friends, who sent words of kind solicitude, during his illness. His Gospel in Ezekiel," on its first " publication gave him a world-witle reputalion. In Scotland, his sympathy for the to the hearts of all good poor �*»" people. „ Death of Bishop Mcllvaine of Ohio.— The American papers report the death of this distinguished American Divine, who has for so many years, occupied a prominent position in the Episcopal Church, and was much esteemed among Christians of other denominations. He was &t one time Chaplain at West Point, and after two years' service was removed or resigned. It has been reported that his resignation was occasioned by the fact that his labors were not approved of at Washington, in as much as several cadets turned their attention to the Christian ministry instead of a position in the Army. Among the number was Bishop Polk, who subsequently became a General in the Confederate Army,and was killed in Georgia. Bishop Mcllvaine's death occurred at Florence, in Italy. On his death bed the following hymns were highly prized by the dying Bishop: " Just as I am," " Rock of Ages," and " Jesus, Lover of my soul," 33 ,«ft Series, 001. 3-0 Donation.—From Capt.

The interesting circumstances of the landing of Ihe first press in the Gilbert Islands in November 1863, and the providential providing of a ship-wrecked printer who had sailed six hundred miles in an open boat to reach that group will long be remembered by the mission there. While we were in the United States, in 1866, Matthew, John nnd Ephesians were reprintedd at the Bible House in New York in an edition of 1,000 copies and formed a part of the cargo of the Morning Star No. 2, around Cape Horn. For the purpose of confirming my health I continued in command ol the vessel fourteen months, and did not resume literary work for the Gilbert Islands, until 1868,and this was the revising and enlarging our hymn-book. In June of 1868, we printed extracts from the gospel of Luke, which we took with us that same year to the Gilbert Islands. In January 19,1869, after our return from a missionary visit to our group, I entered upon the revision of the first three quarters of the Testament. Acts was printed at the Government press. Next followed Mark, printed by Mr. Black, in Rhodes' building. These portions we were to send by . Rev. J. F. Pogue, Delegate ofthe*Board, in July 8, 1869, in the Morning Star, to the Gilbert Islands, as our own health did not permit of a visit that year. Luke was printed in October 1869 by Mr. Whitney, and was sent to the Gilbert Islands by the Annie Porter, about the first of March, 1870. Early in that year Romans was revised. It was printed in April, and taken with us to the Gilbert Islands on board the U. S. S. Jamestown, Capt. Truxtun., These four books were revised with the aid of John Kanimako, one of the early converts on Apaiang, now gone to his rest. We returned to Honolulu on the schooner Annie in October 1870,and on November 9,1 commenced with the aid of Joseph Ekeuea to revise the translation of Ist and 2nd Corinthians, Galatians, Matthew, John and Ephesians. In June 1871, these had been printed, and five hundred copies were bound with previous portions, and thus we had the first three quarters of the New Testament, con- . �THK FRIEND, MAY, 35 1873. tamed in a single volume.

Athcrton for the use of this school, the translation being into the dialect spoken by most Chinamen here; and correspondence is being held with a view to ascertaining whether other Chinese books can be obtained in furtherance of the objects of the school.

Beyond this, the Committee on Entertainments has considered that no suitable opportunity has occurred for action on their part.

During the past year, the association has held nine regular meetings ■ no quorum was lound in the months of August and September, and in January it was decided by agreement among the members that no meeting should be held, local attention being then very much occupied by political affairs. Due notice having been given at the previous meeting, it was proposed and reseolved in December that the last clause of Article 6 of the Constitution should read as follows : Five of the members of the asso" ciation shall constitute a quorum." A number of essays have been read before the association during the year; in May Mr. S. B. Dole presented a paper on the question, How far is character the " result of circumstances;" in June, Mr. VV. W. Hall suggested "Considerations on Sabbath observance in Honolulu"; in December, Mr. P. C. Jones, Jr., addressed to the meeting a paper on Opium"; and in February " Mr, W\ H. Chickering reviewed the history and nature of the Drama." Several of " these essays have been printed in that portion of the JFYiend which is devoted to the association. The Reading Room has been much frequented by sailors, as well as by landsmen, especially during the visit of men-of-war to Honolulu. About thirty periodicals are regularly placed upon the table.

For four years we have been thus allied; and, though at our earlier meetings some diffidence may have been felt as to the feasibility of retaining our unitedness without more minute personal agreement in shades of opinion,.we find ourselves more and more satisfied as to the fact that with one common Christian object we may work together harmoniously. The objects kept in view by this associaciation have been those laid down in the preamble of our constitution, namely, " the religious, moral and social improvement of ourselves and others." Pilrsuing this purpose, we have endeavored not to encroach upon the fields of usefulness already occupied by churches, other benevolent societies and individuals, but simbeen needed, ply to lend help where and to occupy new ground wherever it might appear to be in oul*T>ower.
