JULY 1, 18T3. “Good Reading in Dull Times.” Under this ''heading," in the August number of the Friend for 1872, we made some remarks respecting Forster'sLife of C. Dickens. A second volume of Dickens' Life has just made its appearance, embracing the period from 1842 to 1852. The first volume included the narrative of his firstvisit to America. Tbe second volume embraces sketches of his visits and residence in Italy and Switzerland, and " three months in Paris." During this period of his life he was occupied in writing Martin Chuzzle" witt," "Christmas Carol,". Dowbey and Sore," and David Copperfield." The ad" miring readers of those volumes will be delighted with the perusal of this volume inasmuch as it will exhibit the origin and growth of those works of fiction in their author's fertile brain. We regard this as the main feature in Forster's life of Dickens. In reading this life of Dickens, by John Forster, we are continually reminded of Boswcll's Life of Johnson. Macaulay describes Boswell as a sort of Parasite attaching himself to Johnson, and during a period of twenty years, noting down every word dropping from his great master's lips, and gathering up every incident relating to the great lexicographer and essayist. As a biographer Boswell was unequaled, but yet was the veriest toady and snob. Says Macaulay, " Boswell was one of the smallest men that ever lived, and be has beaten them all." He is the prince of biographers, but never would have been known to tame if he had not attached himself to Johnson. We think it so with Mr. Forster. He is another Boswell, as nearly as one man could be to another. Dickens is his idol. Before that idol he lies prostrate. Perhaps it is a necessary feature of a successful biographer that he should adore the man whose life he describes. These volumes of Mr. Forster are good reading for dull times," and every "reader ofDickens ought to be a reader of these volumes, which will be found for sale at Thrum's Bookstore. H. B. M.’s S. S.

A book of travel, adventure and faota in the Sandwich Islands By William B. Bliss, New York : Sheldon & Co. 1878. Paradise Recently a copy of the new Illustrated Daily—The Graphic— published in New York, fell under our notice. It contained portraits of a good dozen murderers now confined in the Tombs. On the principle Mr. Bliss adopts in writing this book, we infer, New York city must be a most fearfully unsafe place for a residence. The writer observes one fact and from that draws general conclusions. In order to escape from that orid " city of New York, and a Northern "winter, he sails away and finally drops anchor in Honolulu harbor. In his preface, to apologize for the small size of his volume, he remarks, but so is the country and so are " the people of which it treats, while it is really larger than the importance of that country to any possible future of commerce or civilization." This is quite too "bad, to take away from the inhabitants any hope of future greatness and importance. We need not remind the writer that a limited territory and sparse population are not an insuperable obstacle to fame and gTeatness. Greece and Palestine are territorially small and comparatively meagre in population, but for two or three thousand years have called forth more books than all the world beside. Our little pinhead kingdom, (epithet not original with Mr. Bliss,) as Edward Everett was pleased to style the Hawaiian Kingdom, may be small, but for a half century, and more, it has managed to call forth many books and pamphlets, as appears from Mr. HunneweU's " Bibliography," and we opine this book pf Mr. Bliss is not by any means the last which will be written. We had supposed that our islands were geographically situated somewhat favorably for the interests of commerce in this vast ocean, but, according to our author, they actually " lie remote from the track of all commercial ships, except those carrying coals �50 THE KRlfiM), JULY, 187 S. from Australia and California, and those rising far above the valleys, are softened by rarely pass within sight of the islands."

The Wreck of the “Chacabuco.” We have received from Alexander Balfour, Esq., of Liverpool, a partner in the house of Balfour, Williamson & Co., two circularprinted letters, relating to the sad wreck of the C'hacabuco. These letters need no words of explanation. Their contents indicate the deep and abiding interest which Mr. Balfour feels for seamen in general, as well as in behalf of the unfortunate crew of the Chacabuco. Not only has Mr. B.s sympathy expressed itself in words, but the establishment of the Home for Apprentices," " 151 Duke street, Liverpool, is a standing monument of his own interest, and that of the firm to which he belongs, in behalf of those " going down to the sea in ships," and who are exposed to the fearful dangers of the ocean : Liverpool, 13th March, 1573. As managing owners of the Chacabuco, we have the extreme pain of informing you of the loss of the vessel about 2 a.m. on Saturday the Ist inst., after having almost completed a very successful voyage to San Francisco and back, and when almost within sight of home and friends. With the vessel twenty-four brave men and boys, including the captain, went down; and the only survivors are Mr. Arendrup the mate, Mr. Adamson, one of the apprentices, and an Italian seaman. The event has given us so much distress that we have not felt able to write respecting it earlier, and we do so now with sad feelings, when we reflect on the sorrow the event has caused to so many hearts and in so many households. As a relative of one who was on board the Cliacabuco,it may be satisfactory to you to know that when she reached San Francisco we received a letter from Capt. Ritchie, expressing the satisfaction he had with all on board ; and stating that, notwithstanding the great temptations offered to do so, he did not believe any of his crew would desert the ship. Before leaving that port four of the seamen were beguiled away, but this was a very small proportion of the crew to have lost; and his having kept the crew so well shows that there existed a feeling of duty on the part of his men which the offer of higher wages could not destroy. The voyage home had been most prosperous and rapid, until getting to Great Orme's Head, where the Chacabuco was run down. This occurred through no fault of the Captain, officers or crew, but solely, aa we believe, through the most culpable negligence of the steamer Torch, which neglected both the lights and the warning cries of the crew of the Chacabuco, and has thus caused the loss of the ship and so many precious lives. The boat of the tug-steamer Guiding Star saved the three survivors, who were all good swimmers; but Mr. Arendrup says : It seems a miracle any were saved, as the interval betwixt the time when the Chaoabuco was struck and when she went down was so short—scarcely three minutes. The boats were ready, but there was no time to allow " . of them being launched." The Chacabuco was our best strip and �tilt FRIEND, it Lit, was commanded by one of our most experienced and careful commanders. We could do nothing more for her safety, either in point of the equipment of the vessel or in the appointments of the Captain, Officers and Crew. We have also to state, that, Captain Kitche took the greatest interest in the welfare of his officers, apprentices and men. Mr. Arendrup testifies there perhaps was not another ship afloat where a better spirit prevailed than in the Chacabuco and this he attributes to the earnest desire Captain Kitche felt that they should all be partakers of the great salvation wrought out by the Lord Jesus Christ. For this great end he took much pains to impart Bible Truth to all on board and he set them all an example of a consistent Christian life. We deplore his loss and we wish to give this testimony to his worth and to the worth of many who perished with him. We are, your Humble servants, happily was saved), who were great friends, and who, when they went to sea, desired so much to be in the same ship, and thus remain together. One boy was the only son, and only child, alas ! of a gentleman in Leamington, married to the daughter of an English clergyman. His open face and docile disposition had enlisted the sympathies both of Mr. Williamson and myself before we could get a ship for him, and we were so pleased when we could put him under Captain .Ritche's care. Another of the boys was a most amiable, attractive lad, the son of a banker in Forfashire. The remaining apprentice was a Dundee boy, strongly recommended to us by a companion of his own, who was formerly on board the m.^**a<aH LigTht-ohK nese eeper. (one Chacabuco. These two (the boy Shaw and his friend who survives), we trust, were by Ood's grace, led through Captain Ritche's instrumentality during previous voyages of the Chacabuco, to give themselves to the Saviour.

IBT3. I “Our Sailors-An Appeal.” This is tht title of a new book which has been published in London, by Mr. muel Phmsoll, a young and active memr of parliament. The object of the book to arouse public attention to the wretched d unseaworthy condition of many of the ■reliant vessels sailing under the British flag. Such as the following cases are mentioned : One ship-owner, having been refused a certificate by the surveyor, he loaded the vessel and sent her off. Before the ship had cleared from the coast, the sailors refused duty and were lodged in prison. Another crew was shipped, but eventually ship, cargo and sailors all went to the bottom of the sea. Mr. Plimsoll pledges to substantiate these facts before a commission. He calls for a commission to be appointed by Parliament. There is of course a great commotionamong ship-owners. The London Times, Feb. 12, supports Mr. Plimsoll, and asserts, "There are facts enough to prove that British seamen are drowned by the score, just for the want of legislative supervision. Mr. Plimsoll has every right to enquire that the interests of sailors shall be as well cared for as those of the miners and factory hands." This is a subject to which public attention ought to be called. Not long since it was reported that an officer attached to one of the steamers running on the Pacific, refused to go to sea, because he did not consider the vessel seaworthy, and another officer was shipped. The consequence was the latter was killed by the bursting of a steam pipe ! There is one other cause of complaint which ought to be examined and removed— we refer to intemperance on the part of masters and officers. The late wreck of the steamer Atlantic has aroused public, attention to this point. It should be a rule of all insurance companies to refuse insurance on any sea-going craft, commanded by a master in ihe habitual use of intoxicating liquors. The practice of allowing a " bar on steam" ers, is something outrageously opposed to the safety of ship, cargo and passengers ! In urging the adoption of an Act, in the British Parliament, for the appointment of a Commission to investigate this subject, Mr. Plimsoll, employed the following language, as reported in tbe London Record: he referred to was that of " The next case a well-known ship-owner of Shields, who had made his money in such a way that when he died the police had to be brought to protect it JULY, 18 78. and odd lives were lost every year by shipwreck. He did not think that a fourth of this loss could be traced to well-found, wellloaded, well-manned ships. After going through the technical details of the bill, he went on to urge the necessity of this temporary legislation pending the inquiries of the Commission. He begged, he entreated, he implored the House to read the bill a second time. If they could fancy that just outside the House they saw a ship before them on the rocks, and the waves beating upon it, he believed there were many now present who, just as Lord W. Hay leaped from Her Majesty's ship into the Tagus to save life, while the tide was running 20 knots an hour, would risk their lives in the effort to save others. He hoped, therefore, the House would now pass the second reading of this bill, and pass it with acclamation." (Cheers.) Arctic Explorations. The death of Captain Francis Hall, the Arctic Navigator, the wonderful and almost miraculous escape of a portion of his company, and the uncertainty attending the present safety of the Polaris and her crew, are subjects which again turn the attention of the public to northern fields of discovery and research. Notwithstanding the futality which seems to have followed all attempts to bring into the clear light of geographical and scientific certainty, that fabled polar land and sea, which for centuries has been the fond dream of voyagers, there have ever been those willing to endure peril and suffering to accomplish this end. The exstarted out under Captain Hall's command seemed to be peculiarly hopeful and more than ever was it anticipated that some solution to the much vexed problem of an Open Polar Sea would at last be found. The enthusiasm and hopes however of three years ago seem to be more than counterbalanced by the.dependency of the present and the almost tragic ending of the whole attempt. Within a few weeks the survivors of the expedition have arrived in New York, whose story is worthy to be placed with those of the most adventurous and skillful discoverers. From Captain Tyson's report we glean the following items: Captain Hall, who was the animating spirit of the company, had pressed forward with ardor, gaining new hope constantly of winning fame and success. In '71 he had reached latitude 82° 16. After his return to the vessel from this expedition which had been on sledges, he was taken suddenly ill and died on the Bth of October, 1871. Notwithstanding their loss, the remainder of the company were anxious still to continue in their voynge of discovery. his remains to the grave on account of the But they were driven by the ice and winds indignation of the multitude of women and into lower latitudes, until in August '72, it children w»o followed to pelt the hearse with was seen to be necessary to land the provisions and company oo the ice. With this action commences one of the thrillingfy interesting and marvellous stories of adventure on record. While a number of the men wore engaged in landing various articles, the Polaris broke from her fastenings and in the obscurity of the night was lost to those eighteen persons now left to fight their way back to life and home through months of ocean-peril, and Arctic cold. For six months did this brave little company exist on their great-ice boat, living in little snow huts, feeling each day the limits of their domain lessening, cherishing the feeble hope of ultimate rescue. Every means was adopted to sustain life, and of all the company none died, not even the children. In April of this year they were picked up by the steamship Tigress in latitude 53° 35' norih, longitude 55" west, and were landed at Roberts Bay, New Foundland. Since then they have arrived in New York ank have gone thence to Washington. The fate of the Polaris is still shrouded in doubt. The reports which the survivors give in reference to Captain Buddington are far from favorable to his reputation. It is to be hoped that the suspicions now entertained will be proved to be without foundation. Sad as was the fate of the gallant leader of this band of discoverers it will seem less sad if found to be from some natural cause and not at the cruel hands of one of his companions. Every effort will be taken by the American government to discover the truth of the gloomy reports of Captain Tyson and his people. All eyes will be on the lookout for the coming of the Polaris if ever again she enters American waters. Another grave has been dug in that land."

Progress of Protestantism in Mexico.— Very remarkable success has been obtained by the Rev. H. C. Riley, the agent in the city of Mexico of the American and Foreign Christian Union. There arc at least sixty organized congregations, with thirty-five persons in charge. In the city of Mexico several prominent priests have been converted, and are now preaching the doctrines of Protestant Christianity. Aquas (now dead) was one of the most earnest, talented and influential priests in Mexico. Hence his renunciation of Romanism created an intense excitement among the Papists of that country. The Archbishop excommunicated him, and, in return, Aquas wrote a lengthy letter, reviewing the doctrines and usages of the Romish system. It is a very able production, and has been published in the Christian World, the organ of the American and Foreign Christian Union. Palacios, another converted priest, is attracting multitudes by his evangelical preaching, and others now in the field — be named. London Record. Rev. A. F.

At the an Episcopal clergyman, by the name of same meeting the Bishop of Lichfield (late Sabine, who delivered an interesting address, of New Zealand) had stated this as his own from which we copy the following para- opinion : 'We make it a rule never to introduce controversy among the native people, graphs : to mar the simplicity of the faith.

Last ronvertftßssfciere had been brought to the fall tbe native chief of St. Paul island desir- Ed to send his son (a very bright and intelligent lad of fourteen years) to the Eastern States, for more thorough instruction. Tbe "Alaska Commercial Company" accord' ingly gave him passage to San Francisco, and sent him across to New England, where he is now pursuing a. four years' school course at their expense. The rising generation of Alutes will soon become more familiar with Washington than Peter the Great, and exchange Russian for American history. , In 1869 Gen. George H. Thomas made an official inspection of Alaska. He reported that on St. Paul and St. George Islands, the fur-bearing seals are seen in immense numbers, which he estimated at from five to fifteen millions each summer, lying in the rookeries, and covering hundreds of acres. He recommended that the hunting and killing of these animals should be regulated by law, as the only way to prevent tbe destruction of the rookeries. Experience had taught the Russians the necessity of such legal restrictions. From the lack of such regulations the seals have been utterly exterminated from many islands in the Southern Ocean, where they were once abundant. Accordingly, Congress, by the act of July Ist, 1870, adopted substantially the Russian system, on the 3d of August following, the Alaska Company leased from the United States St. Paul and St. Ceorge Islands. The Company contracted to pay the United States $55,008 per annum rental, and a revenue tax of $2.62,} on each fur seal taken and shipped from the islands. Two United States officials are stationed on each of these islands, to see that the Company complies with the conditions of the lease, and to count the skins as they are shipped to San Francisco, where they are again counted by the Custom House officers. The catch of 1872 amounted to 96,069 skins, and the tax paid to the United States was over $250,000 for that one year, which, with the rental, amounts to over $307,000 as the revenue paid to the government. Over $700,000 have already been paid into the United States treasury by this Company and the whole sum paid for Alaska will soon be realized from this one source, more than verifying the predictions of Secretary Seward as to the value of these Russian possessions. The interests of all concerned are best promoted by putting these seal islands in charge of a company, under heavy penal bonds to comply with the regulations recommended by Gen. Thomas, and adopted by Congress, and whose own interests requires the careful preservation of the fisheries. The Alaska Company have shown sagacity, courage and enterprise, in opening and developing this new field of commerce. Their lease embraces only these two small islands, which are 350 miles from the mainland. With this exception, the vast territory of Alaska is all open to the fullest competition in trade and business of every sort. American Tourists.—Upwards of a hundred and thirty thousand American tourists passed through London last Summer, bent on seeking pleasure only ; and already the number who have arrived in the metropolis on the same errand this year is nearly half as large.—London Record, May 16. �TIE FRIEND, JULY, & co. 10*. 9S AID 97 H 1.1 « 55 1878.

Events of great importance affecting the Hawaiian nation have taken place during the period under review. The Head of the nation lias been removed ; the last of the Katnehamchas sleeps with his fathers. His Majesty Kamchnineha V'., died on the llih of December, 1872. The highest chief of ths nation, by the almost unanimous vote of the people, has been elevated to ihe throne. His Majesty Lunulilo reigns over a united and confiding people. Four missionaries, who for many years consulted, prayed and toiled lor (he Hawaiian people, have left ns to enter (be rest prepared by the Master for His faithful ones. One i Pioneer, who had spent 5!1 years of her life in this work. Mrs. 11. P. Whitney, the wife of Rev. S. Whitney, entered into rest on the 26th of December, 1872. This Board is her debtor in that she liequcathed to it the sum of $300, as also her house at Waimea to be held in trust as a parsonage for the Church at Waimea, Kauai. Another was of the company who followed the pioneers of tho Mission, the Rev. A. Bishop, who died on the 18th of December, 1872. Hehsd :,K-,„.,.,trK Vicars on,he T. The Lord sustain, and comfort these afflicted ones. One Hawaiian Pastor and his wife have also been (aken from us. The Rev. John Mshis i Kaliookauiniilin, the devoted Pastot have ol the Church of Kcalukekiiii, South Kona, Hawaii. He having performed the oflice of well in that Church for many years, anil having purchased to himself a good degree and great boldness in the faith, which is in Christ Jesus, was called lo the pastoral office, the duties of which he performed with acceptance in the midst of hindrances and difficulties. The wife of the Rev. J. D. Ahia has also died the past year. .She died engaged in her loved work at Apaiang, one of the Gilbert Islands. I Deacon HOME DEPARTMENT.

There is not one Church on our list that has not contributed something. It must not be forgotten thut the above sum is only a part of what bus been contributed by these churches.

Here it h but just to say that a majority of ihl- �FRIENDTH JULY,1873. — pastors of the churches have exhibited great devotedness to their work. While many of tho churches over whom they wore placed as overseers have not fulfilled their pledges to them in providing temporal support, these pastors for the most part have not become discouraged and left their fields, nor have they applied to tho Board for aid. One Association, however, has during the year applied for such aid. The Evangelical Association of Kauai, at its meeting in October, 1672, asked the Hawaiian Board to aid two of its feeble churches to the amount of $,00 each in supporting their pastors. This request was cheerfully granted. One only, however, of these churches, the Church of Waimea, Kauai, has drawn the sum appropriated. The other, the Church of Anahola, Kauai, not having a Pastor, did not apply for its appropriation. The Hawaiian Board would earnestly urge the churches of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association to fulfill the vows made to their pastors, when they were called to labor among them in word and doctrine. The laborer is worthy of his hire. For a Church to neglect to pay its Pastor what it pledged to him is a fraud as much as it it to neglect to pay any other honest debt. May the fact that many of our churches have neglected this duty, and thus not fulfilled their vows, be a reason why there are so few candidates for the ministerial office? and may this also not be a reason why the Holy Spirit has not been with the churches, as we would desire f Theological School. At the meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in June, 1872, this most important subject was brought to your notice by order of this Board. After stating reasons for founding s» Theological School for Hawaiians at Honolulu, Oahu, the following resolution was adopted " Therefore it is referred to the Hawaiian Board of the Association to seek a proper site for this school, nnd to commence the school at as early a dale as possible, not later than the oiul of 1872." In accordance with this action a suitable place was obtained for the reasonable sum of $3,000. The former owner of the place, the First Vice-President of the Hoard, Dr. G. P. Judd, valued the premises at 44,000, but he sold them to the Hawaiian Board on condition that they be used for a Theological School for Hawsiians, at the sum stated above, thus donating to the : Theological School $1,000. The Hawaiian Board also authorized its Corresponding Secretary to endeavor to raise during the year the sum of $5,000 for the use of the Seminary, viz. $3,000 to pay for the premises, and $2,000 for repairs and other expenses in commencing the institution. For this fund the following sums have been paid into the Treasury of the Board : ' on Um islands $1,007 00 Hawaiian ehurclirs lo May IMS 1,61*7 47 A. B. C. F.

During the past year Boarding Schools for females have been continued on each of the larger islands of the group, with the exception of Hawaii. Incipient measures, which it is hoped will prove successful, have been taken to establish an institution for female education on Hint large island. The Female Boarding School nt Koloa, Kauai, has been disbanded for the present, not for want of pupils, but on account of inability, on account of feeble health to continue it. It is hoped, however, that this school may soon be resuscitated. The islands need nil the aid of this kind, by which they can raise up mothers for tho nation. The success of schools ot (his character in years past should urge us to greater efforts in this second lo no other instrument in elevating nnd saving the people. The Principal of tho Kawaiahao Seminary Miss L. Bingham, says in regard to this institution : The Kawaiahao Seminary completes its sixth year this July, 1873, having had since the commencement one hundred and three boarding pupils. Of these only one had died. Ten have made a profession of religion while connected with the school, and nine were professors previous to their entering the Seminary. One of the ten is now under appointment of the Hawaiian Board as missionary to the Marshall Islands. Nineteen htve l*;en married, twelve of whom have married whites or half-whites and seven pure Hawaiians. Nine are the mothers of thirteen children. The averngo number of boarding pupils during the year has been 42, but two or three have been taken out for good reasons before examination. The school has been greatly favored in socuring as nn assistant a lady from the United States, of long experience as a teacher, and well qualified to train tho young. Considerable proficiency has been made in vocal and instrumental music, while due attention has been given as usual to domestic work and sewing." Miss Lizzie Bingham has been connected with the Seminary as in years past. Three teachers have been connected with the Waialua Female Seminary. Miss M. E. Green, the Principal of the institution reports " the number of pupils at present is 48. None have been expelled from school. The health of the pupils has been uniformly " domestic work. The family school of Mrs. Lyons and daughter of Waimea, Hawaii, has been continued as in years past. This is a girls' school. Those connected with it sre all Hawaiian girls, supported by their parents. Newspapers. The newspaper Kuokou, under the editorship of the Hon. H. M. Whitney, assisted by J. U. Kawninui, Esq., has been continued with a very large increase of paying subscribers. The weekly edition of the paper now issued is 4,872,—tho largest subscription list of nny paper ever published on the Islands. The fourth page of this widely circulated paper is under the control of the Hawaiian Board, and for it tho Board is responsible. The Key. L. Lyons, nnd Rev. L. Smith, U. D., have edited this page as iv former years. This page cost the Hawaiian Board $800 the past year. The second of our papers, the Alrntln, has been discontinued. An edition of 2,671 has been printed and sent to agents on the different Islands. The very few agents, however, who have paid for the paper has led to the impression that it was not appreciated as it ought to be, and tho loss being so great on the paper, say $500 per annum, that the Hawaiian Board ra*)ed to discontinue it at the close of the Inst volume. The cost to the Hawaiian Board for the seven years that the paper has been in existence has not been less thanfrom $300 to $500 per snnum. It is thought by many, foreigners and natives, that the time has come when a distinctive Religious Newspaper in the Hawaiian language, of the size of the Kuokoa, should be issued weekly or monthly. This is a subject which should occupy the serious attention of the Association at this time. .

This work was commenced in 1872; we have yet heard that it has been finished. Key. E. W. Clark is superintending the irk through the press. His aid in this partmcnt of missionary labor is very valule, and the Hawaiian people are under eat obligations to him. No Bibles have been received from New ork the past year. All our two-dollar bles having been disposed of in the early rt of the year we have not been able to fill c orders received for this style of the book. It is with sincere thanksgiving to the. cad of the Church that we are nble to rert the translation of the whole New Testlent into the Gilbert Island dialect. This the first complete New Testament thnt s been translated into nny dialect of icronesia. Rev. Hiram Bingham has done this work, and it is believed hns done it well. The people of the Gilbert Islands and the Hawaiian Board are their debtors. Parts of the New Testament in this language, and also portions of the same in the Marshall and Bonabe dialects have been printed for the Hawaiian Board at Honolulu nei. The following table prepared by Mr. W. Chamberlain, exhibits the amount received from sales of Bibles and Testaments and other books from 1865 to May 1873.

Four Missions are now under the direction of this Board, viz.: The Mission at the Marquesas Islands, and three Missions in Micronesia—the Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands, and Caroline Islands Missions. The number of stations occupied arc the same as last year. During the year the Key. J. Kanoa and wife have returned to Butaritari to engage in their missionary work. The Key. J. D. Ahia has returned from Apaiang to these Islands on account of the death of his wife. He brought with him three motherless children. One new Missionary, Mr. Kckucwu, with his wife, Miriam, a graduate ol the Kuwaiahiio Female Seminary, have been appointed Missionaries to the Marshall Islands. Key. D. Kapali and wife, who returned to these Islands in IS7I in feeble health, will return with Kekuewa and wife to the Marshull Islands by this trip of the Morning Star, to resume their .Missionary work in that inviting field. The Morning Star. For reasons not necessary lo mention, the Morning Star has remained in this port a much longer time than usual. On the 3rd of July, 1872, she left Honolulu under command of Capt. Hallet for her usual annual voyage. The Rev. Wm. P. Alexander, Delegate of the Hawaiian Board, Rev. J. Kanoa and family, and Mrs. Captain Win. Hallett passengers. Returning she arrived at Honolulu on the 17th of November, 1872, having been absent 137 days. During this cruise she visited all our stations in Micronesia, and also the. stations occupied by the Samoan teachers under the Samoan Com in., of the London Missionary Society. Mrs. Rev. E. T. Doane, on account of feeble health, returned on the vessel from Bonabc, as also Rev. J. D. Ahia and family, with Rev. Wm. P. Alexander and Mrs Captain Hallett. It is now expected that the Morning Star will, in a few days, be on her way again to Micronesia to be absent some eleven months. As supplies were sent to the Mission at the Marquesas Islands in 1872 for two years, it was voted by the Hawaiian Board not to send the vessel to those Islands this year, of the Mission in 1871-72 we refer you to the Report of the Hawaiian Board for 1872. Key. J. W. Kaiwi, who returned to these Islands from Fatuhiwa in 1872, is still very feeble. He having been called to take charge of a church on Kauai, removed to that island, but before being installed us pastor over the church, was taken with the trouble which caused his removal from Fatuhiwa. He has remained in that state to the present time. Is now at Waimea, Kauai, with his friends, who will not consent to his leaving them. five stations, and three out-stations were connected with this Mission in 1872.

This he has now completed, and he will take with him on the vessel soon to sail this inestimable gift to circulate among the people. Nine Samoan teachers have labored on the following Southern Islands of Ihe group, viz.: Arorae, Nuktinau, or Byrons Is., Tamana, or Rotch Is., Peru, and Onoatoa, or Francis Is. These Samoan teachers are supported by the Samoan Comm., of the London Missionary Society. The Key. Wm. P.

The Gilbert Islands are a part of this world, and are included in the command, " teach all nations." It is ours to ebey the command knowing that, "He that goeth forth and weepeth, leaving precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his shenves." There ore now three churches on these Islands. The whole number of persons admitted to these churches on confession of faith is 112. Thirteen have been admitted the past year, and seventy-eight are reported as now in the >. high school, and of'his number some 15 are courltcd in the Theological class." The American Missionaries express their desire to explore the whole Marshall group during this cruise of the Morning Star, and they have the approbation of the Hawaiian Board to do so. Rev. W. P.

Schools are flourishing. Mr. Whitney rrites, under date of Jan. 21st, 1873 :— School is well attended, and there is a decided increase of interest, as well as regularity on the part of those who attend. There are over 50 in regular attendance, and others who are occasionally present. This of the I 61 JIL I, I*ls. , or the people of this gem of the ocean.

Mr. Snow and his wife visited this home of their first love on the Morning Slur, and remained with the people till the return of the vessel from Bonabe, when they returned to their own field in the Marshall Islands. The Lord added His blessing to their labors. The church members were awakened to more active labors and devotion. Bucksliders returned with penetance, nnd were restored to church fellowship. Some who have never been church members were asking the way of salvation. The power of God is seen in the transformation of this once pagan, bloodthirsty, degraded people into a civilized and Christian community. Bonabe. This Island is divided into flue districts, each having their own King. For twenty years the Servants of Jehovah have labored there under many discouragements. They have not labored in vain. The money spent there has not been lost. A majority of the people are nominally Christians. " The people In Mr. Doane's field," reports our Delegate, " have erected another very good house, and give earnest heed to the Gospel." occupied by Mr. " At bothwe the stationsnumbers warmly af found large Sturges tached to their Missionary." Our Delegate reports that he found many tilings to shew ' that the Gospel had taken strong hold of many of the people. In reports received by the Morning Star we find the following statistics: Seven churches, not including the church at Strong's Island. Members in good standing in five churches st Bonabe, 518, and ten in the church at Mugil. From Ihe church at Strong's Island we have no Statistical Report for the year. We suppose there are about 100 members of that church iv good standing. Schools arc represented to be in a prosperous condition. Many pagans are left on the Island of Boiinhc. Certain chiefs harden their hearts, and reject the Gospel. West of Bonabe ore a multitude of islnnds, the inhabitants of which have never heard of the way provided for man's salvation. These nre in pagan darkness. Such is the case of the Hoogloos, the Japites, and the people of the Peleus. Have not the Hawaiian churches something to do in carrying the light of life to them ? The Bonabe church members are awake, and are ready to send some of their best members to represent them among the heathen and engage in the work of enlightening them. Snail we sit still 'I May their zeal stir us up to greater exertions and more self-denial in obeying the command of Him, whose we are, and whom we serve.

Our Saviour left a very important rule on record for the benefit of thoso who labor in His kingdom ; vi»: "Tho laborer is worthy of bis hire." Luke 10:7. Tho workman is worthy of his meat." Mat. 10:10. " Paul also writes to the Corinthian Church on this "Do ye not kuow that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with tho altar ? F.veu so hath the Lord ordained, that they whioh preach tho gospel should live of the gospel." I Corinthians 9:18, 14.

These arc some of the thoughts of your Committee, together with Christian salutations to both pastor* and churches. Respectfully submitted, L. Smith, D. Baldwin.

This loathsome, incurable and deadly disease bos fastened upon the vitals of tbe nation. Although we hope and believe that it is not yet too late by the use of sufficiently stern nnd vigorous measures to dislodge its fatal hold, that bold has become fearfulls-strong. Tbe numbers already known to be victims toieprosy, the still larger numbers who are undoubtedly infected, ihe ateady, remorseless activity with whioh it is extending, all tell us with ghastly assurance, that unless remedial measures are used more affective than have been hitherto applied, our Hawaiian people will become in a very few yeora, a nation of lepers. Do we consider what thia means ? It means tbe disorganisation and total destruction of oivilitation, property values, and industry, of our churches, our contributions, our Hawaiian Board and Its work of Mission*. It mean* shame, and defeat, and disgraceful overthrow to all that is promising and fair in the nation. Wo are on the brink of a horrible pit, full of loathsomeness, into whioh our feet are rapidly eliding.
