JULY 7 1874 The Annual Foreign Missionary Sermon, —Was preached on Sabbath evening at Fort Street Church, June 7th, by the Rev. H. H. Parker, from the text, Ist Cor. 1:22-24 verses: " For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom," &c. The discourse was admirably suited to the occasion, and the preacher pointed out in a clear and logical manner the nature of the gospel and its adaptation to man's necessities. A collection was contributed, nmounting to 533 60 Ordination Sekvices.—Mr. Horace J. Taylor, a licentiate of the Congregational Church, arrived in Honolulu on his way to the Gilbert Islands, as a missionary of the American Board. Upon consultation with the Hawaiian Board, it was deemed advisable that he should receive ordination before sailing for his distant field of labor. A council having been regularly convened on Friday, 3d of July, at Fort Street Church, he was duly examined and the necessary arrangements made for his ordination, which took place Sabbath evening at the same place, and in the following order : Introductory Exercises, by Rev. W; Frear ; Address on the Marquesas Mission, by the Rev. J. F. Pogue, in place of the sermon; Ordaining Prayer, by the Rev. S. C. Damon ; Charge, by the Rev. B. W. Parker; Right hand of fellowship, by Rev. R. W. Logan ; and Benediction by the Candidate. We would merely add that the newly ordained mission- Silver Wedding.—We copy from the Advertiser a notice of this happy event, occurring in the married life of the editor of the Hawaiian Gazette. We thought his own allusion to the event in his own paper was peculiarly happy and appropriate, and only our want of space prevents us from copying the same into our columns. We have not forgotten the generous manner our friends, eight years ago, contributed to a similar event in our own career. Our neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Whitney richly merited this demonstration. No one in our island community has more industriously and energetically served the public than Mr. Whitney. Early and late has he labored to publish the latest news from all parts of the world. Many a time has he endangered his life to board some passing vessel bound to China to obtain the latest paper, and on one occasion he was actually lost overboard and drawn under the vessel's keel. Such men merit well of their friends and the public, and if in the hurry of life we can turn aside and surprise them with a little demonstration of friendly and neighborly feeling, we ought to do it most cheerfully and gener- ously.

Mrs. Dole died on Sabbath morning, July sth, at the residence of Mr. George Dole, in Honolulu, where the Rev. Mr. Dole and wife were spending a few weeks. Previous to their leaving Koloa, Kauai, where they have resided for nearly twenty years, Mrs. Dole had suffered from a paralytic stroke, and by a similar attack she was removed from the scenes of earth after a sickness of a few days. She arrived at Honolulu in April, 1837, in the large re-enforcement which had been sent out from Boston. Her labors have been in Honolulu at Oahu College and Koloa, Kauai, but in whatever sphere she has been called to act she has always exhibited the traits of the true Christian woman and genuine missionary. Naturally endowed with a clear and well balanced mind, enriched by reading and discipline, she was prompt to give advice and counsel when needed. Her family, numerous friends, and many of the young, both among foreigners and natives, knew and appreciated her genuine worth. She was emphatically one who, in the language of Solomon, looked " well to the ways of her household," and many living and dead have been blessed by her care, thoughttulness and Christian nurture. She was a native of Greenwich, Ct., and was sixty-one years old on the 26th of last May. Her funeral took place at Kawaiahao Church in Honolulu on the afternoon of July 6th, and her remains were deposited in the Mission burial ground, where repose so many of the of what is coming than the recipients; bat on Wednesday evening last, Hon.

Letter from Micronesia. Ponape, March 22, 1874. — Rev. Mr. Damon Dear Sir—Vfe have been saddened to-day, for we have stood by the portals of the narrow house of the dead. We were all pained a day or two since by hearing from Capt. Williams, of theFlorence from San Francisco, of the mysterious dispearance of his steward. Early in the morning of that day, he passed to the Captain his cup of coffee, and fifteen minutes afterwards was nowhere to be found. The vessel was searched fore and aft,—the man's hat and knife was found, and certain articles missing, with a piece of rope taken from a strange place—but no steward was found. The woods near by the vessel were searched, but all in vain. It was confidently believed he had drowned himself, especially as it was recalled to mind by some here, he had often indirectly threatened this. But there was no certainty of the deed being done, and Capt. W., sailed yesterday without being positive what had become of the man. This morning, as Capt. Hickmott, of the Joseph Maxwell, was standing on the quarter-deck, a dark body was seen raising feet first from the deep, and neared his vessel. It was the body of the steward. It was gathered up— a coffin made for it by the carpenter of the Maxwell,—and late this afternoon brought ashore and buried. Poor man, liquor maddening, crazing liquor led him to the sad deed. Crazed by it, and perhaps weary of its bondage, he had taken a large bag of shells, fastened them to his neck and leaped overboard—a fatal leap. And now he is buried on the shore of this lone isle; far away from home, friends and country. Edward Hill is given as his name, and England as his native land ; but no one knows of the parents, or birth-place, or relatives. He is reported as having once been steward on some English man-of-war. In his profession he was efficient. In this, Captain and Mrs. Williams loses a valuable man. O, the demon of drink ! Why will men dally with it ? When shall it be banished from the world ? When will our sailor boys learn to let it alone ? Its bondage is cruel. It biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Its touch is death. In this connexion, it may be worth while to report another fatal scene aboard of the Florence. As she passed Pleasant Island a few weeks since, a native stowed himself away on board,—a few days after he made his appearance, and for some days he had full liberty of the deck. It was noticed he seemed to be a little deranged. He seemed to be suspicious that some one wanted to kill him. Lying between two sailors, sleeping on the forecastle, he took from the sheath of 1874. one of them a knife, and stabbed him in the abdomen, fatally. The native then sprang below, and in passing another sailor, stabbed him in three different places, one in the abdomen,—who ran on deck and fell dead. The savage then secured two knives and a large spear, and took refuge in a bunk, threatening with death any one who should approach him. It was impossible to get him from his place till his life was taken. The name of the one person killed was E. Thois, a German boy. The name of the other was John A. Cooper, of Placerville, California, a young man. The death of these two sailor boys, with that of the savage, or crazed native, cast a gloom over the vessel. And how much it was deepened by the suicide of the steward! And to us all how do these lessons speak—to prepare for death. The youth sleeping on the deck, little thought when he laid down to rest, how near the end of life was here ; and the other youth, reading on the hatch-way, little knew his hour had come. O that all would prepare for death, by a humble trust in Jesus, and love to him; then when death comes, all the future would be one of joy. What is that future to those who regret a Saviour's love ? Let me give you the report, just in from the Europa, Capt. McKenzie. A few days since a terrible gale swept ashore the Lenora, Capt. Hayes, on Strong's Island, making a complete wreck of her. Further particulars we do not get of this wreck,—whether any lives were lost or not—it is presumed there were none. To-morrow morning the Joseph Maxwell leaves us, and we are feeling that she is about the last messenger bird we shall have along. The horizon seems to be shutting down about us—shutting out the world, and shutting us up to our work on Ponape. But that shutting in is not like the curtains of night, nor like the iron doors of a prison. We are shut in and up to our blessed work, and Jesus we trust is in our midst, or with us. Where he is there can be no night, no gloom, no prison, but all is fear and joy. We can report nothing very special with us. But we are happy to hear the work of the poor creatures is going on splendidly, gloriously, on little Pinalap. Kind regards to dear friends. Yours fraternally, E. T. DOANE. Freaks of Sailors. It is quite surprising what strange freaks young men will sometimes pursue. Some years ago, we remember to have met a young Englishman attached to an American whaleship, who remarked to us, " I am the fallen son of a noble sire." Another young Englishman, who became implicated in the sailors' riot in Honolulu in 1852,and who was sentenced to a year's imprisonment in the old fort at the foot of Fort street, wrote to his friends that he was to the fort in Honolulu," as he "wassurgeon called upon to exercise his medical knowledge among the prisoners. Some years ago a young physician from a gbod family in Pennsylvania, and a dc- scendant of good President Dwight of Vale College, found himself a sailor dh board an American whaler in Honolulu. He was anxious to leave the ship, but on no consid- eration would the master discharge him. He disappeared, and the master offered 8150 for his arrest. No trace could be found of the young man, and the ship sailed. In a few days he appeared in the street, and as he was well known to the Chaplain, the question was asked, "Where have you been concealed ? " To our astonishment he replied, " In the garret of your Bethel, and 1 have heard you preach two Sabbaths! He also informed us that he was wont during the day to survey the town and harbor from the belfry. We shall not soon forget a sailor from Canada, the son of an Episcopal clergyman, who left home, but under a feigned name. His mother, distracted with sorrow, wrote us to ascertain the whereabouts of her sailor boy. After much enquiry we finally succeeded in decoying the young man into our sanctum. After we had learned certain facts from his own confession, we revealed to him his true name, and handed to him his mother's letter! His astonishment may be well imagined. He subsequently returned home, but not until visiting the mines of California to make his pile ! " Letter from the Rev. P. J. Gulick. It will be remembered by our readers that this venerable missionary left Honolulu with his family—en route for Japan—passengers on the I). C. Murray, early in May. Let it be noticed that Mr. Gulick had not previously visited California or America since his arrival at the Islands in 1828. We copy as follows from his letter: " San Francisco, May 29. "Our voyage throughout was very pleasant. We reached here on the 16th inst., and were immediately invited to make our home at Mr. Benchley's, (a deacon of Dr. Stone's church), whose kindness and hospitality to us has been unbounded. " The first appearance of this city, was to me, rather unpleasant; but traveling about in it, and viewing it from the elevated residence of our kind host, has quite changed my opinion. The rapidity and thoroughness of the improvements, and the order with which business both here and in Oakland is conducted, surprised and delighted me. returned fiom Oakland, " I yesterday where, at C.

At long intervals in the history of a nation or a race the laws of action, of advance or retrogression, are broken in upon by some powerful burst of popular and vigorous sentiment. These inspirations nre not to be judged by any limited standard which fails to comprehend the full sweep of their spirit, or which is the outgrowth of a momentary or superficial glance. We should regard them most reverently, bringing up from the past the countless reasons for their birth, leaving to an impartial future its own verdict. We believe that the Woman's Crusade of America, as it is popularly termed, will take its place in history as one of the grand, pure movements of humanity, as one of the epic events of this century. Thank God that the enthusiasm of the race has not died out; that it is possible for men, better still that it is possible for women in times of great national emergency to link their names with some heroic enterprise. The grand conflicts of all time, for which brave men and women have been willing to offer what was best and dearest to them, have had for their foundation the revolutionary spirit in its best and broadest sense. The giant and false images of sin and error before which the world has prostrated itself, have been hurled down and shattered by the prayers and tears and resolute actions of those who have risen against them in one sublime concert of effort. We have grown almost out of a knowledge of the resources of glorious reform which are left to us. Have we indeed ever fully known them ? Are we willing to accept them ? The utter materiality of the age is hurting us all. We are afraid of doing anything to retard what seem fixed and inevitable laws, even if they are those of moral decay. No, no, there is a better way for us. We may all of us be enthusiasts, be reformers in a most holy cause. No darker image has ever shadowed God's fair earth than that of intemperance and (notwithstanding the fact that much effort has been made to destroy it) it still fearfully defies all principles of right and justice. The uprising of the women of Ohio is no feeble display of sentiment, no vulgar desire for applause. It is the brave protest of womanly hearts, cruelly wronged, yet full of generous, holy emotion and the hand of God has been in it. The out cries which come from this side and that in reference to this unusual and hence presumed unwomanly warfare are as idle as the idle wind. One feels almost a contempt for that belittled spirit which seems incapable of grasping the real issues at stake and flings at one of the sweetest, most righteous efforts of our time JULY, 1874. Report of the Examining. Honolulu, June 2*tb, 1874. To the Trustees of Oaku College: (Jentlemen—The undersigned having been appointed by your honorable body to attend the annual examination of tbe institution under your care do report as follows: The general appearance of the school betokens prosperity. There is a sufficient attendance of scholars to give life to tbe daily routine, to excite emulation in the different classes, and to stimulate the teachers to do their best. The material, too, seems to be good. There is therefore nothing in this line to cause discouragement, but, on the contrary, much to sustain hopes for tbe future. The teachers appear as a body, and individually, to advantage. They arc evidently interested in their work, and no better proof of this need be cited than the spirit of earnestness that seems to characterize tbe scholars. This last is perhaps a matter of as much importance as that of especial proficiency in individual branches of study, underlying as it does, all real success and true usefulness. Of course this eamc earnestnese indicates good discipline. The examinations were very well carried on, and appeared to be on the whole, fair tests of ability, as much so probably as verbal examinations can be. The common failing in the recitations, however was noticed of poor enunciation. Where there was reading however either from written slips, or from books as in translating this was not so apparent as it was in the answers to questions. A prompt, energetic style of speaking, should always be required of every scholar, whether it is necessary to the teacher's hearing or not. Scholars too, should be taught to rise promptly at the calling of tho name, to look tbe teacher full in the face, at least for tho greater part of the time when reciting ; also to feel that due respect is to be paid to themselves personally, and thus a habit of confidence and self-respect be induced. These are matters of primary importance in every school. Training even as to the proper amount of motion required from the organs of speech especially of the lips, is someis to be long, but the end is sure.

The country, especially since the war had lain heavily burdened beneath a useless, self-imposed cause. Where was the way out ? The shadows seemed to be gathering more darkly about the life of thousands. It is our belief that the women of America gave the only possible answer in their prayers and simple earnest endeavors. Have we not thought it most heroic, has not the world been jubilant with praise when some girl has taken her place at the oar and shot out through blinding mist and spray, over wild waves to bring hope and life to those fast sinking ? Shall we not send the best sympathy of our hearts when we see scores of women hastening to the rescue of those engulphed in the bottomless ocean of sin ? Verily these are the most Christ-like Crusaders the world has ever known. The success of the temperance reform in America, is to be attributed to the fact that no power but Divine has been sought in its progress. In the Divine rule at certain periods there seem to come grand out-breathings of heavenly inspiration, before which nothing may stand. They are heralds of the better time, preparing the way for the coming of the perfect day. It is now the time of Pentecost. We read ofthose fearful whirlwinds which sweep over certain seas, that while on every side there is the wild tumult of struggle and battle, yet at the centre on their onward march, there is a fatal calm, the very hlankness of hope and life. If we look at all out into the world we see signs every where, promising long and severe contest, between wrong and right.

It is a noteworthy fact, that while the Legislature is hastily passing an Act authorizing the distillation of rum on the sugar plantations, the only planter in the Legislature voted three times against the passage of the Act! This fact is a good and satisfactory answer to a long and full editorial column in the last issue of the Advertism: It is not in the power of any writer to make rum-making, rum-selling or rum-drinking harmonize with the well-being of sound political economy, good morals or Christianity. Manufacture of Rum.—We learn that a bill authorizing the distillation of rum on the sugar plantations, has already passed to a third reading before the Hawaiian Legislative Assembly. We do hope His Majesty will exercise his veto power and effectually arrest the passage of so injurious a law. Let the King follow President Grant's example, when Congress passed the bill for inflating the currency. The American people almost unanimously approved the President's veto, and so we honestly believe a large majority of Hawaiians and foreigners would approve the King's veto, if exercised.

If it were not impro- the pledge—is finally signed and the business per, I could connect with the names of the closed up. The men are indirectly in many ways engaged in the business. They hold prayer-meetings in the churches, while the women pray in the saloons or in the streets; they stand pledged to defend from any insult or bodily harm; they subscribe money for legal defense, if the women are arraigned. Already some three or four hundred saloons have been closed up, and as many more are actively beseiged and will have to yield. If the snow and slush and the severe cold of the past two months have been no impediment to the prosecution of the work, surely the pleasanter days of opening spring will offer nothing in the weather to retard the work. Success is assured so far as stopping the business as conducted openly is concerned. But what will be the permanent influence on liquor-selling is a matter about which diverse opinions are held. Some say, with apparent reason, that the sentiment of opposition to the business will have more decided influence in our communities. Only a generation ago drinking was no bar to church fellowship and the liquor dealer was a respectable individual. It was a decided advance to say to the inebriate and to the tippler, you cannot be in good standing in the church, and for the saloon keeper to be considered as having no respectable standing. Now it is proposed to tolerate no longer the open temptation to the vice of dram-drinking. If liquor is sold and drunk, it shall be in no public place or way ; it shall not flaunt its banners in the faces of an outraged people ; it shall not tempt with gilded halls the youth who has not formed the habit of tippling, or the man given to the vice by habit and who might reform. The war on the drug-stores has revealed the source of much respectable drinking, and has been extremely unrelenting and generally successful. Physicians are rebuked for countenancing the habit and druggists are pledged to sell no more. It seems some of the druggists have done a large business in supplying a certain class of tipplers, and they have fought hard to keep the trade. Drug-stores have multiplied and grace nearly every corner, and the unsuspecting wondered that so many found business to do. This is a new revelation and our people were not prepared for, and the amount of their traffic in long-necked bottles is found to be a principal source of revenue. The movement is a surprise in the way it spreads. It now reaches to more than a dozen counties in our state and has sprung up in Indiana. We have only seen perhaps the beginning of it. Women go in delegations from conquering to new conquests with flame in hand, and so pass on the " heat" which Dio Lewis says is required.- To a conquering host achievements give courage and assure success. The arm of the law has not been invoked as a principal agent. But doubtless our laws have lent important aid in the movement. As a general thing, neither side have made appeals to law. It did not become saloon keepers to appeal to that law they daily violated to protect them simply from annoyance of prayers and singing. But, when it comes to law, the temperance people have the advantage. If this movement does nothing else than secure the enforcement of the laws we have, it will be a great success. — N. Y.

He was a member of this Board from its organization, *nd for several years its Vice President. In the year 1842, at the earnest request of Kaiiiehameha III. and his chiefs, he left his more appropriate missionary work to engage in the then difficult and intricate affairs of government. He died at his home in Honolulu, July 12th, 187J. His end was peace. For many months he had been laid aside from active labor by sickness. He desired to depart, for his work was done. Mrs. Charlotte F. Baldwin died at Punafaou, Honolulu, October 2d, 1S73. For three years previous to her death she had been a patient sufferer from painful sickness. She too has gone to her bright reward, to be forever with her Lord, where she ever desired to go when her time for work was done, and when she could no longer be useful to her family and friends. Great was her love for the Hawaiian nation even to the end of her life. Kev. S. W. Nueku died at Honolulu September 18th, 1873, where he came for medical advice. He was a member of the Hawaiian Board, and was with us in the enjoyment of good health at our last annual meeting. He had been for some years pastor of the church at Halawa on the island of Molokai. He was a truly devoted pastor of the church, and much esteemed by the people among whom he labored. Rev. J. W. Kaiwi died at Waimea, Island of Kauai. He was one of the first missionaries of the Hawaiian churches to the Marquesas Islands, where he labored well for eighteen years. They who have visited those islands as delegates to the mission can bear testimony to the high esteem in which he was held by his associates in the mission —to his humble unassuming Christian character, and to his good influence and faithful labors among the Marquesans. Failing health caused his return to these islands two years since. Miss Maria Ogden was one of the second reinforcement sent to these islands in 1827. Forty-six years she labored with untiring devotion and with much success, chiefly in educating and training Hawaiian females for usefulness. Many not only in the Hawaiian Islands but in the islands beyond, are reaping the fruits of her labors of love. Miss Ogden died suddenly April 3d, at the advanced age of 82 years. HOME DEPARTMENT.

The disease of Leprosy, whose spread at the time of our last meeting had assumed an alarming aspect, has now ceased to be a cause of alarm, although still of anxiety. The wise and vigorous action of the government has been successful in isolating the lepers, 700 of whom are now cared for in the Asylum on Molokai. They arc, though isolated from us for the salvation of the rest, still our beloved neighbors, friends, pupils, brethren and sisters in the Lord. To them we send our messages of affectionate greeting, praying them to stand fast in the faith and consolation of Jesus, until He calls them We need deeply to feel that it behooves each soldier of Christ in these dark and trying days, to brighten his armor, to redouble his activity and his vigilance, to intensely seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit of God, and to bear forward the home to Himself. standard of the Lord into the thickest of BUSINESS DEPRESSION. the fray.

A history of tbe so-called war between some ol Hapuku s pupils and a chief of that valley, has been laid before tbe Hawaiian Board. His bouse was invaded. Bullets from tbe guns of the enemy penetrated tbe walls of the house, entering tbe rooms over the beads of those within and passed out at tbe opposite side of the building and lodging in a cocoanut tree beyond. The roof of theChurch was removed, lest tbe enemy should set fire to it, and thus destroy tbe whole _ousc, together with the tenement of tbe Missionary. We are happy to report that tbe French Resident, or Governor, bad no complaint to make against our Missionary in regard to this so-called war. The Missionary appears to have acted with prudence, and only on the defensive. We left Atuona about 5 o'clock A. M. of May 29ib, and arrived at Puamau, Hivaoa, on tbe 30th of the same month. There is a very large population at this place. We saw more people here than at any other place where we visited. The house of Kekela was thronged with men, women and children all the time we were there. Arrangements bad been made before we arrived at the Marquesas to have the General Meeting at Puamau. Oo Monday morning, June Ist, this Meeting was commenced. On the Sabbath previous a meeting was held in the bouse of Kekela, M the building formerly occupied as a Chapel was not in a fit condition to bold service in. Tbe : state. Causes 1. The removal of many of the people to other Islands. 2. The death of their Missionary. 3. The unhappy occurrence which took place there some years since. I refer to a number of tbe people having been brought to the Hawaiian Islands, where many of them died. The people have not, and probably never will forget that painful circumstance. They now call the Hawaiian Missionaries, He poe pepehi kanaka. The Church here is demoralized. So also is the Church at Honomcnu, and the Church at Uabuna is in the same category. That Island, where we once bad a large Church bas not been visited by a Missionary for twfO years and more. The members of the Chnrch'are said to be scattered all over tbe other Islands, but no one knows the place of their abode. On this Island there is a field for a good Missionary. The place is well adapted for a Boys Boarding School. There is no Priest on tbe Island, and it is an open field that may be worked with much hope of success. After finishing our work at Omoa we turned our faces towards home. Stopped at Ationa to land Kekela and Hapuku ; at Uapou to land Kauwealoha, and take on board freight; and at Kaiohae, the Metropolis, to pay our respects to the Resident. We did not have the pleasure ol meeting His Excellency, as he bad not returned from Tahiti. Wo were informed by the acting resident that ho had no complaints to make against our Missionaries, and he assured me that they should have equal protection with the Romish Priests. Wo left Uapou on the 9th of June. Five days after crossed tho Lino. Arrived at Honolulu on Friday, June 26th. We have anchored eight times. Were absent 80 days. Sailed 6ome 7000 or 8000 miles. During the whole voyage we have experienced the rich blessing of Him whose we arc, and whom we serve. The Marquesas Islands now have a population of 8000—less rather than more. The Romanists have nine Priests, eight on the field, five Lay Brethren and three Nuns. We have three -Stations, three Missionaries and their wives. Our Missionaries work with tbeir hands, instruct the people in Schools, and endeavor to point them to Him, who has said—" lam the way, the truth, and the life." Hivaoa is the most important Island of the group, as to size, resources and population. There are at least 4000 people on the Island, and may be 5000. Though your Delegates did not find the Mission work progressing at the Marquesas as they would have desired, yet neither did they see anything which would lead tbem for a moment to tbink of abandoning the field. Nothing in the character of the men who have labored there. These to be sure are not perfect, as we are not. Have made mistakes, as we have made mistakes, yet they have done a good work- They are true Christians, and desire the extension of Christ's Kingdom. We saw nothing in the character of the people for whom the Missionaries have labored to lead us to forsake the field. Low and debased as these are, and you here in this Christian land can hardly conceive how debased they are, they are not more debased than were those heathens whom Paul describes in the Ist Chapter of Romans. These debased ones have souls for whom Christ died, as He diedforus. If Heloved them enough to give His life a sacrifice to provide a way of salvation for them, ought we not to love their souls enough to give of our abundance to support those who are willing to labor for their good ? There is nothing in the blessed Gospel which has been preached to these degraded ones to lead us to forsake that field. This Gospel is the same power of God to tbe Milvation of men now that it was 1900 years ago. We would urge the Hawaiian Board to continue the work there with more zeal, energy and faith. The night of toil has been long and dreary, but not more so than it has been in other Missionary fields. A footing has been obtained. It cannot now be said as it was asserted in 1851, that at different periods various Missionaries essayed to establish themselves here, but they have all failed. Not a single true conversion has taken place. Sinoe then, and by tbe labors of Hawaiians, your Missionaries, it has been demonstrated, that tbe Gospel is not a failure, even among tbe blood thirsts, cannibal Marquesans. There is power, in the Gospel of Christ to reach even these. Tbesame Gospel which reformed the lying Cretians, converted the effeminate and licentious Corinthian, and abolished tbe idols of Ephesus, has also in these latter days converted tbe Marquesan and made him an Ileir with Christ to an heavenly inheritance. Let us correct speedily whatever has been wrong in the labors of the 21 years past, but let us be slow, very slow, in issuing tbe edict, which will close our work begun on those Islands, and lose for us the victories already gained. May the Head of tho Church give us wisdom to devise the best means to benefit that people, and prudence and energy to carry out what may be devised. Knowing that our Lord has said, I am with you always" let us gird on anew our armor to do battle for our Lord and King. Victory ii sure. Why hesitate? God calls. Let him hear the devout prayer going forth from each one of our hearts. Here am I Lord. Do with me, my property, my strength, my life, my all as seems best to Thee. Lead and I will follow, and following Him we will gain the Conqueror's Crown. Do you ask what is needed to infuse new life into this Mission ? I answer, new Missionaries, strong faith and earnest prayer. " � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
