Increased commerce, progress of science, improved systems of education, are not sufficient to save the heathen nations and elevate them into the light and enjoyment of a pure civilization. Something additional is required; that something we argue is Christianity, or the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as inoulcatod and taught by Christian missionaries. Queen Victoria was right when she put ber hand upon the Bible and informed the Prince of Abyssinia on his visit to England, that England owed her greatness and power and superiority over other nations to that sßcred volume. MISSIONS IN INDIA. In illustration of our subject, I desire to call your attention to the marvelous work and revolution now progressing in India. About the open- ing of the present century commenced the era of Protestant missions in India and many other parts of tho world. The king and rulers of England did not however look with much favor upon the efforts then put forth. This was emphatically true of the directors of the British Enst India oompany, which issued an order prohibiting the landing and laboring of American missionaries or any others within the territories under the company's government and control. The opposition to the work as undertaken by Judson, Hall and others is too well known for me to dwell upon it. Tbat company absolutely and resolutely determined that Christian missionaries should not obtain u foothold in India. They were as conservative and guarded as the Dutch now are with reference to their Malay possessions in the East Indies—really at present the only part of the heathen world to which Christian missionaries are debarred from laboring. The subject, however came before parliament and the British and such was the pressure brought to ear upon tho. East India company's policy through the efforts of Wilbcrforce and men of kindred spirit, that India was soon thrown open to mission labor. The American missionaries were among the first to enter thefield which they have never abandoned. In his recent work on Indian Missions Sir Bartle Frere, who is a member of the Indian Council and president of the Royal Geographical Society, thus remarks : The history of the American missions in Bombay presents many features of the highest importance. They have addressed themselves to the lower rather than to the higher classes of society, and their success has been every way most striking." After referring to the efforts of various English Eublic, " societies and others, he adds: " Whether we intended it or not, we have sown the seeds of revolution, physical, intellectual, moral and religious ; and who amongst us shall venture to prophesy what may be the results ere another generation has passed away .' " BRITISH GOVERNMENT FAVORABLE TO MISSIONS. So far does the British Government at present not oppose missionary operations, it rather promotes them in every possible way. It has been found that unchristian civilization was not what the millions of India required. Converts are now reckoned by hundreds of thousands. Never was the work progressing more rapidly than at present. Remarks Lord Lawrence, Viceroy and Governor General: " I believe, notwithstanding all that the English people have done to benefit tbat country, the missionaries have done more than all agencies combined." All true friends of India, government officials, civilians, and the British nation at large, are fully convinced tbat civilization and Christianity must go " band in band." The fearful lesson taught by tbe mutiny of 1857 that British rule could not be maintained unless the moral support of all Christian missionaries was secured, hence from that date tbe grand enterprise of missions in Tndia took n new �IH X FRIEND, departure. The various missionary societies are now laboring most successfully and harmoniously. Sir Bartle Frere again remarks " In the face of an idolatry such as tbat which pervades Hindostan, all minor differences among Christians sink into comparative insignificance. ' It is not a godless and unchristian civilization tbat missionaries and the true Iriends of humanity would bestow upon the Hindoos, but a thoroughly Christian civilization, strikingly in contrast with the former types of civilisation which have been dominant throughout that populous country,—l reler to the Hindoo and Mohammedan. England is now doing much to introduce the elements of European civilization. Railroads are running in every direction from the great centers of commerce, Bombay. Madras and Calcutta. Tho whole oountry is in communication by a notwork of magnetic telegraph. Other evidences of progress are apparent in the new system of jurisprudence and education, but all these are insufficient to effect a moral regeneration and elevation. None are more aware of this fact than the leading officers of government, hence the new policy now manifested towards all Christian missionaries. They are the men now laboring to crown the work which has been undertaken, of regenerating India. Christian schools, colleges and churches arc now supplanting heathen temples. The seed which missionaries from England and America have been sowing during the last half century, is now beginning to return a golden harvest. It is soul-inspiring to read the narrative of mission labor in India. Apostolic times present nothing more heroic or self-denying. Dr. Anderson's recent book on tbe missions of the American Board, merits a place in an appendix to the Book of tho Acts of the Apostles. Right nobly bave tbe missionaries of the Board done their work. Tho records ol modern mission labor present no examples moro truly grand than those of such men as Gordon Hall, members of tbe Scudder and Ballentine families, the Winslows, Poor, Meigs, Spaulding, and scores beside. The same is true of those whose names are recorded in tbe annals of the Church missionary andLondon missionary societies of England. These men are agents of a Christian civilization of the best and highest type. But I must not linger among the palm groves of India, or stop to enjoy the " spicy breezes " blowing " soft o'er Ceylon's Isle," yet the contemplation is enchanting, for the Hindoo mother is now taught a better lesson than to cast her infant into the gauges, and the Brahmin that it is better to practice self-denial for Jesus than to work out a righteousness of his own. What I have shown to be true of India, is also true of Burmah, Siam, China and Japan. Through all those populous countries the gospel seed is now being sown. The following, from a secular newspaper hi Bankok, Siam, referring to the movement in that kingdom towards a higher Christian civilization, will apply to most Asiatic nations " Tbe outside world are looking on with interest at the attempted strides of Siam towards Christian civilization, which is the civilisation it must attain, if it would possess the highest type of that which exists in the present ccniury, and young Siam will not bo content until it has reached this. There can however be no genuine high type of civilization without a superior order of morality as its basis, and no religion presents so perfect and ennobling a system as tbe Christian religion." When such sentiments and ideas as tbese are extensively spread abroad, the work of a world's regeneration will go nobly forward. : : MOFFAT AND LIVINGSTONE. Where shall we look to see such ideas more grandly embodied or beautifully crystallised, than in the lite of Livingstone or his father-in-law, Moffat 7 Such missionary laborers and travelers are the true pioneers of Christian civilization. Tbe noble old missionary Moffat of four score Still lives, wbile the story of tbe life and death of Livingstone need not the inspiration of tbe poet or the eulogy of the orator to render the one renowned or the other sublimely affecting.

Well does Sir Samuel Baker, another African explorer, remark in regard to LivHe was the greatest of all explorers ingstone of this century ; he was one of the noblo army of martyrs who have devoted their lives to tho holy cause of freedom ; and he has laid down his life as a sacrifice upon a wild and unknown patti, upon which he has printed the footsteps of civilization."

One thing is growing more and more apparent, that all missionaries are becoming very harmonious in regard to the fundamental principles of the missionary enterprise. The grand idea is : embraced in our Saviour's last command, " Go ye into all tbe world and preach the gospel to | every creature." He did not enjoin upon his missionaries from two Scottish societies and one I disciples to go into all the world and civilise, enEnglish are on their journey to establish missions ; lighten, educate and refine the nations, only as in the interior of that vast continent.

But I must bring the discussion of this subject to a close, although fully aware that it remains unexhausted. Facts illustrative may be drawn from universal history and the gradual spread of Christianity during the past eighteen centuries. As the gospel however is cow being preached among all nations, tbe idea is becoming more and more apparent that the heathen and unevangclized nations are not so much in need of civilization, culture, refinement and education, as of tho puro and ennobling principles of the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. There is nothing which can satisfy the craving desire in the heart of humanity lor happiness and peace, but the simple gospel which our Saviour offers unto all, when he says, Come unto me all ye that labor, and I will give you rest." It is this rest which tbo angel having the everlasting gospel to preach, is now proclaiming,—Christ will give and is now giving. This rest comes wherever Christ's kingdom comes, hence the one earnest and prolonged prayer of all should be, Thy kingdom come." It is now coming, the Son of God is now seeing of the travail of his soul, as he beholds from ins seat at the Father's right hand, tho nations of the earth earnestly looking to catch a view of the angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to every nation and kindred, and tongue and people."

The time may come when some patient and careful historian will write the history of Polynesia, and of discovery in the Pacific. It is a fascinating theme, and might we think be so worked out as to charm the reader. The Key. Mr. Doane touched upon this subject in his recent lectures. Others, we are glad to know, are at work upon it. It is a rich mine of history, philology, superstitious and religious opinions. Samoa Thirty Years Ago. Sermon on Home Missions.—This year the Rev. A. O. Forbes, of Hilo, preached in Fort Street Church, the Annual Home Missionary Sermon, before the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, from the text—"This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel; not by might nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts —Zechariah, 4:6. In the discussion and illustration of the subject, he commented with the skill and fancy of a Bunyan or Jeremy Taylor, upon the 2d and 3d verses of the chapter, from which his text was chosen, wherein the angel asks the prophet, " What seest thou ? And I said, I have looked and behold a candlestick all gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lumps which were upon the top thereof, and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof." All the machinery of church organizations, missionary societies, and other agencies would be as ineffectual to renovate and regenerate the world without the spirit and power of God, as the bowl, pipes and lamps of the seven-branched candlesticks to give forth light without the oil of the olive trees on the right and left of the same. " In 1845. or thirty years ago, we had some correspondence with the English missionaries on the Samoan Islands. In the Novem" ber number of the Friend, 1845, will be found an interesting latter from the Rev. William Mills, relating to the government, shipping, exports, &c., of tbe group.

Sunday School Celebration.—On Saturday day last there was a grand display of the Oahu Sunday Schools including representatives from most of the country districts. Fourteen schools were represented in the procession, which started from Kaumakapili Church at 9:30 a. m., marched through Mauna Kea, King, Punchbowl and Beretania streets, back to the same church. It is estimated that over one thousand children and teachers were in it, and each school was preceded by its banner, some of which were very handsome indeed. On arriving at the church, the schools entered the building, and the scholars were seated in the centre pews, while spectators filled the side seats. Scarcely half of those who went to see the performances could obtain entrance. The exercises commenced about 11 o'clock and consisted of recitations of scripture verses and singing by each school, and by all the schools together. At 12 o'clock, His Majesty the King arrived, accompanied with the Prince Koyal, Her Royal Highness Luka Keelikolani, and His Ministers. During the exercises, His Majesty made an address, in which he exhorted young and old to follow the precepts taught in the Sabbath School. He said that Sabbath Schqols were first established here in 1825, and this is therefore the Jubilee year, and there might be some present who would live to witness the centennial in 1925. He was astonished to see so many banners displayed, and it reminded him of his youthful days when he joined in the processions, and in this Kaumakapili Church saw Kauikeaouli, Lot Kamehameha, Liholiho, Kamamalu and Lunalilo. He and his sister stood here to-day where those chiefs stood then. He well remembered some of the verses which he learned when attending the Sabbath School at the Bethel Church, otic of which — nei.

We are by no means sensitive under the comments of a correspondent in the Advertiser of June 26. We recognize the pen of an English mismissionary long residing on the tSamoan Islands in the following paragraphs. We fully recognize the fact tbat the political affairs of the Hawaiian Islands essentially differ from those of most of the groups of the South Seas." The Hawaiian Islands " had a stable government thirty years before the missionaries landed in 1820. We have always regarded this feature of our situation peculiarly favorable to the spread of Christianity, and when that kingly rule has been assailed, as it was, by the French in 1839 and 1849, and by the English in 1843, Republican American missionaries and foreign residents, rose up in its defence. They protected and remonstrated like the Heroes of '76. The English missionaries did the same when the French hoisted their Protectorate flag at Tahiti. But here is what called forth our remarks in the Friend of September, 1874, in noticing Col. Steinberger's Report " to the Secretary of State at Washington," we expressed the idea that " we arc not surprised that Samoans should seek an alliance with the United StatesQovernment.'' We still bold to the same opinion, for have they not witnessed one group after another pass under a foreign flag—the Society Islands, Marquesas and New Calidonia, are part of France ! New Zealand, then, and now Fiji, have passed under the British flag. Rumor asserted that Germany and Great Britain were looking towards Samoa, as a certain King of Israel once gazed upon Naboth's vineyard ! Was it surprising that Samonns (including English missionaries) should stretch forth their imploring hands to President Grant when his predecessors at the White House had always shown themselves as brothers to Hawaiian Kings ? We trust that subsequent events will show that America seeks only Samoa's good, and the encouragement and development of the native race and government. " In a number of tbe Friend just to band (of date September, 1874) Dr. Damon speaks with rather much self-congratulation ou tbe way in which 'the rights of tbe natives and tbe authority of the king and chiefs have been sedulously guarded In Hawaii, by tbe aid of republican American missionaries and American citisens. And be implies something perhaps rather disparaging towards other groups. I bave very great respect for Dr. Damon's opinion on Polynesian matters ; but I tbink in the remarks I now orlticise he has not taken his usually comprehensive view of tbe matter about which ha writes. Hawaii differed from most—l think I may say all—Polynesian groups at tbs time of the introduction of Christianity. It bad a king—not merely a nominal one—but one wbo ruled, sad wbo made his rule feared If not respected. Apart tross Christianity Hawaiian chiefs were real chiefs." ' JUL ¥ , 18 75. Except in the SocietyIslands, and perhaps. Tonga, Hawaii differed in Ibis respect from most other groups of tbo Pacific. Samoa, like the Marquesas, has never been united under one rule—in lact, has bad no rule. Tbere baa never been a man combining sufficient iutellect, prowess, aud ambition to bring ilis- entire group under one rule. But tbere bus been a multitude of petty chiefs, (one of the old missionaries used to say every alternate man yon meet is a chief) each exerting very, very little influence, and constant feuds bave been tbe consequence. I give your American missionaries very great credit tor What has been done in political us well as in purely religious tttacbing in Hawaii. But it American missionaries had been in Samoa, tbey would not have made this group like tbe Hawaiian at tbe present time. Tonga differs considerably from Samoa, and is following hard on Hawaii in civilization. But the reason ol it is tbat King George brought all those islands under bis rule. and made progress possible. Dr. Damon says the ■fact is uncontrovertible' tbat in the groups of tbe South Seas, where missionaries and foreign residents from England and other European countries bave predominated, the rights of kings, chiefs and common people bnve been partially at least ignored, and the nutive governments allowed to become subverted and overturned.' I cannot assent to that assertion. Tbe fact is tbat Tahiti is tbe only place to which it applies. In other groups tbere bave been no native governments to subvert or overturn. That is the cause of all the mischief—there has been no authority, no rule. Not even in Fiji, now annexed to Great Britain, has tbere been any native government to subvert." " ' Report of the Punahou Examining Committee. Messrs. McCnlly, Forbes, Bishop and Dole, appointed an Examining Committee, attended tbe examination held on Tuesday and Wednesday, at tbs close of the academic year of Oahu College. The number of students by tbe catalogue is twenty-seven girls and thirty-three boys, but of these quite a number bave not been in attendance to tbe end of tbe year. Wisely, we think, the teaohers did not undertake to present all tbeir olasses, nor to ran over tbe whole field of the studies pur- Geometry and algebra were well done, especially tbe former. The large class in analysis, or English grammar, showed thoroughness in this often neglected and distasteful subject. Of other classes in.non-exact studies, we may say that tbey appeared to have learned well what was within tbeir course of study. English history, we think, oould be better taught from a better book than tbe abridgment of Hume's history, which is used. some manual wbich should bring out more sharply the really important events and crises which bave shaped English history and the history of civil freedom. The Committee examined with great pleasure tbe spelling books written during the term by the pupils from dictation They were very generally models ot neatness in writing, and in tbe few words missed make a record that may be called extraordinary. In tbe elocutionary exercises, select readings were made prominent. We like this feature. The leadings were all good, and so were the compositions. We may say tbere was an improvement as compared wilb some former years in all the •' ex- bibiiion " exercises. Tbe enunciation in both declamation was good. This remark reading and cannot be made as to two-thirds of the scholars in the lessons recited. We would not neglect to make due allowance for the timidity of young people reciting in a large room before strangers, and to allow for some natural differences in strength of voices and iv vocalization, but the number of those who do speak out audibly and distinctly shows that the art is within the attainment of all. This matter has been frequently remarked ou, and has doubtless received much attention from tbe teachers ; indeed, it is probable that little of this difficulty is noticed iv tbe daily recitations, but appears chiefly at the pulilic examinations. But until it disappears there It will continue to bo matter of comment by visitors. It may be more within tbe province of tbe trustees than ours to speak of the intended absence of the President of tbe institution ; yet we may be allowed, in view of the departure of Mr. and Mrs. (Jburcb. alter tbeir ten years of service here, to express our sense of the way in which they bave tilled their very important and responsible place. For important and responsible in a high degree it is,—the charge of these young ladies and gentlemen in the school and in tbe family. They have to be governed firmly yet with kindness, to bo taught in tbeir studies, directed and supervised in tbeir amusements, their work, their excursions, tbeir life in tbe school as a home, sod in respect to tbeir moral and religious and physical interests. And this multifarious care extends through the seven daya and nights of tbe week, and. as to many of tbem. through vacations. Tbe property too, of the school, its farm and its house-keeping, are to be carefully and prudently managed. We hazard little in saying tbat In tbe judgment of all acquainted with the facts, these various and exacting duties bave been fulfilled faithfully and wisely, unselfishly and without stint of personal exertion. We understand it is an open question whether Mr. and Mrs. Church may return after a year's visit borne. We are sure they will be welcomed back if they please to come. Two other teachers also leave. They carry with them only good wishes and good opinions. It is to be regretted tbat changes in tbe staff of teachers should be so frequent as tbey bave been, Tbe service of tbe associate teachers should be for more than one or two years, as generally baa been the case. But this subject cannot be pursued here. For tbe Examining Committee. Lawrence MuCli.i.v Hokoixi.u, June 17tb, 1878. sued by those classes. This would not be practicable in a short publio oral examination ; and we, though termed an examining committee, felt that tbe examination should be conducted by tbe teachers with but little interruption by interrogation on our part. It would be easy for strangers to tbe class to throw them into confusion by questions touobing matters which bad not come within their course of study, and the failure to comprehend the point of the question asked or to give the answer required, would not justly Imply a want of suitable instruction and faithful study. Neither can tbe committee of any year well report tbe progress of tbe school or of individual classes or scholars, which is a matter ot comparison with previous years. But an examining committee may well observe and report upon tbe tone at the school iv respect to discipline, the character of the instruction given in respect to thoroughness, and tbe general improvement or failure to improve by tbe scholars of tbe opportunities of tbe school. We tbink no one present at tbe examination failed to see tbat there had been faithful teaching and industrious learning, and tbe remark may be The faith alone received the Saviour, and made generally of all tbe exercises presented.— tbat tbey were tbe results of well applied endeav- interested the believer in his whole salvaor.

" Singing the Gospel," has become an expression with very precious meaning to all who are interested in the great revivar moveof our day. Perhaps no more potent influence for good could be brought to bear upon men's hearts than this union of truth with suitable melody. We have been much struck of late in noticing the influence of Christian hymns on a people who are generally considered painfully deficient in musical susceptibilities. The new Colporteur, among the Chinese, has succeeded remarkably well in interesting in hymn singing, those who gather every Sabbath evening, for worship at the Bethel. Possessing a clear full voice himself, he has no difficulty in leading, and one cannot but be interested in watching the earnestness and zeal with which many follow him. If Christians would have a deeper and sweeter significance given to those hymns and tunes which are among the choice treasures of the church, they should come and listen to these simple men singing words of redemption and Heaven. God grant that the mission of those purest exments desire for reunion and fraternal sympathy, which cannot but be productive of most blessed results in the Christian fellowship of the North and South. The very spirit of Christianity tends to this harmonizing and uniting of all who find in a common Master and Saviour, the grand object and inspiration of life. We find in the Christian Union a statement in reference to this meeting which may be read with interest. The statistics of the Association should encourage all workers in this field : " Richmond's reception of the delegates to the Convention of the Young Men's Christian Associations, both from North and South, was more than up to the promise in the invitation to meet there. Families opened their houses to all with characteristic hospitality, and made their visitors at the outset so much at home that the Convention as a body felt the genial influence till through its proceedings. Judge Robert Ould welcomed the delegates in an honest speech, at all events, in which he did not hesitate to declare that, speaking for the Southern people, it was immaterial whether one side or the other whs loyal or rebel in civil or political matters so long, he snid, 'as we maintain the faith as it is in Jesus Christ, and acknowledge his supremacy as Lord of all.' ' 1 know no other test of Christian fellowship and confidence,' he continued. ' I put no other on any man, and suffer none to be put on me.' This was the keynote of the Convention which worked in a Christian spirit all the way through. In the organization, ihe chair was given to Mr. Joseph Hardie, of Seliua, Ala. Reports from the agents and Secretaries, Messrs. R. C. Morse, Weidenall, and Hall described the amount of work done in the year past as large and satisfactorily fruitful. The Association statistics are as follows: Nearly 600 Associations, with 68,400 members ; 252 keep open reading rooms; 190 own libraries ; 56 have buildings ; and 42 more are raising building funds. Topics practically discussed were Association Bible classes, prayer-meetings, lay preaching, prison work, and the claims of commercial young men upon the Christian public. The Convention is likely to give a special impetus to the work in the South where the Associations are still few in pressions of the Christians hope and trust, number."

"An usher, in the person of a very polite soldier, took us in charge, and when he heard I was from the Sandwich Islands, he was doubly obliging, and said I was from King Kalakatia's dominions. The first thing for us fo do was to enter our names in tli" visitor's book. " Our usher took us first into the basement, and we siiw the supper üble set for three hundred men. The work is all done by soldiers, and everything litis to be as neat as wax. The kitchen is one of the important divisions ot the establishment, the usher told us The vegetable and boiled meats are cooked by steitin from the engine. "A very large and good lilmuy is in constant use by the soldiers. There is nothing wanting to make it comfortable for the inmates.

" Some of the soldiers are married, and live in small cottages on the plnce. Most of the vegetables consumed by the soldiers are raised on the grounds, and they keep n herd of cows that supply them with all their milk and butter. "After feeing our guide with a trifle, we returned, knowing more about the Soldiers' Home of Milwaukee thun we did two hours before."

King Kalakaua of the Sandwich Islands will send his feather cloak to the centennial exposition at Philadelphia. This article will represent more labor than any other article that will be on exhibition. Its manufacture was commenced over a hundred years ago, under the auspices of some of the ancestors of Kamehameha, the first king of the islands, and upwards of fifty years of time were required for its completion. It is made of the feathers of a peculiar species of bird—each bird furnishing only two feathers, one from under each wing. In size the cloak is a little over a square yard, and its color is a golden yellow. It used to be worn by the king on state occasion!, but of late years it serves only to adorn tbe reception room of the palace.— American Fbenange, �57 FTSUPLOEMNH RIEND. HONOLULU, JULY I, 1875.

That it has had its influence in that direction, no one will doubt. Duties assigned to the Corresponding Secretary of that Board deprived him of the privilege of meeting with the Hawaiian Evangelical Association at its last Annual Meeting; his lack of service was well supplied by the Acting Secretary of the BoHrd. After an absence of eighty days from Honolulu, visiting the mission of the Marquesas Islands, your Secretary, with his Associate Delegate, Rev. J. Kauhane, arrived at Honolulu June 26th, and immediately entered on his official to do in duties. Three females connected with our work have passed to the Better Land, durinfr the time under review, viz : Mrs. C. C. Dole, wife of Rev. D. Dole; Mrs. D. S. Bishop and Mrs. Taylor of the Gilbert Island Mission. Mrs. Dole came to these islands as the wife of Mr. H. 0. Knapp, in 1837. Alter the death of Mr. Knapp, she was united in marriage with the Rev. D. Dole ; she left us to meet the Master, whose work she loved, on the sth of July, 1874. Mrs. D. S. Bishop came to these islands with the second reinforcement, as Miss D. Stone, in the year 1828. A few months after her arrival she was married to the Rev. A. Bishop, and died April 13th, 1875. Mrs. Taylor, the wife of the Rev. H. J. Taylor of the Gilbert Island Mission, spent a few weeks with us on her way to her chosen field of labor. Fifty days after her arrival on the Island of Apiang, she was called away by Him, whose she was, and whom she desired to serve. After an illness of 16 days, she took her departure to the other world on the 26th of September, 1874 ; leaving an husband and son to mourn their loss. An Hawaiian Missionary, who had not met with her in the flesh writes : " Very great was our love for this servant of the Lord, who has been called so suddenly to go to the land of rest." HOME DEPARTMENT. There are now connected with the Hawaiian Evangelical Association of which this Board is the executive Body, five Associations, and one Presbytery. Sixty churches Thirty-five Pastors are in connection with these Ecclesiastical bodies, viz: 14 on Hawaiii; 11 on Maui and Molokoi ; Bon Oahu, and two on Kauai. 11 churches have temporary supplies, viz: 7on Hawaii; 2on Maui and Molokai; 1 on Oahu, and 1 on Kauai. These are ordained Ministers and licensed Preachers; leaving 14 churches without Pastors or temporary supply ; the most of these however are supplied with with those who labor for the spiritual good of the people. So far as I can learn the whole number ordained to preach the Gospel since 1863 has been 52, 12 of whom are without charge, suspended from the work of the ministry or dead.

The health of the members of the school, says the Chairman of the Faculty, has been uniformly good. Not a recitation has been missed by any member of the school during the year on account of sickness.

Twelve pupils have been connected with Whole amount $4,6M 20 These contributions have diminished the sum paid into the Treasury of the Hawaiian Board from that Island. This institution now has a convenient house, well adapted for the purpose for which it was built. The school is under the care of Rev. E. Bond, Principal and Agent. Miss E. W. Lyons, Teacher. Rev. S. C. Luhiau and wife, Assistants. 21 pupils are connected with the school. It is hoped that this school will supply a long felt want on that Island. With the blessing of God we will see many coming from the school, who may be an honor to this, and other races in this Pacific Ocean. The Family School of Mrs. Lyons and Daughter at Waimea, Hawaii, has been continued with the usual number of pupils. The Female Boarding Schools on Maui and Oahu have been continued as in past years. The school at Koloa, Kauai, is still suspended, though Mrs. Smith, the former Principal of the Seminary has several girls in her family who receive more or less instruction. The Rev. C. B. Andrews and wife, who have been connected with the Makawao, Maui, Female Seminary for many years, resigned their places a few months since, and theirresignations were accepted by the Trustees of the institution. Miss H. E. Carpenter is now Principal, and Miss M. Parker, Teacher for tbe present. The Principal of the school writes: Forty-four different scholars have been in the school during the past year, though not tbat number at any one time; at present, (May 7,) forty-four are in the school. There have been many blessings to call for thankfulness �60 THE FRIEND, and discouragements enough to call into exercise all our faith and patience. Miss E. K. Bingham is the Principal of the Kawaiahno Female Seminary. The permanent teachers the past year, Miss Ingraham, who has acted as Principal for a pnrt of the year, and Miss C. L. Mosely, Miss M. Kinney and Miss S. H. King have rendered efficient help in the school during the year. Miss King is now connected with the school. The number ol scholars has not exceeded thirty-six. Now (May 6) numbering thirty-one. The health of the school, says the Principal, as a general thing has been better than in some of the former years, though the messenger of death very suddenly entered our school early on the first Sabbiith in November, and removed by decease one of our younger ones, the only daughter of the late Missionary Aea. Early in January it removed another of the younger ones from our ranks, though at the time of her death she was out of school for a few weeks to be medically treated. The pupils have for months manifested a quiet, and docile spirit, and progress has been made by them in their studies; gymnastics, music, needlework and housework. The Seminary at Waialua, Oahu, has been very much prospered the past year. Miss M. E. Green, Principal, Miss J. K. Pogue, Teacher. Miss Hattie Shaw was installed as assistant on the Ist of April, and she wins all hearts. Number of pupils fiftytwo. Entered this year nineteen. The Principal writes : Through the abounding mercy of our Heavenly Father we are enabled to record a ye.ir of prosperity. Almost perfect health has prevailed. Not one pupil has left our ranks, and seldom one for a night's visit home. Arrangements of a most satisfactory nature have been made, whereby the providing of an abundance of wholesome diet is rendered less laborious. Water has been brought to our doors. It is our great happiness to record the fact that this year's duties, labors, past-times; all are entered into with the freshness, vim, and spirit of courage and faith. JULY, 1875. Men and women desire to adorn the body rather than the mind. The following have been received from the Bible Society : 200 Bibles, 50 extra fine Bibles and 35 Hawaiian and English Testaments. 3,000 Buke Himeni have been ordered from the American Tract Society. 1,000 Hae Hoonani have been purchased from H. M. Whitney. The following Books and parts of the Gospels have been sent to our Missions in Micronesia : 1,000 Acts for Marshall Islands. 4,000 Hymns for Marshall Islands. 225 Primers and 145 2d vol. of New Testament, for Gilbert Islands. 400 Matthew and Mark. 302 Matthew. 183 Mark for Ponape of the Caroline Islands.* The Bible Society has been very liberal with us the past, as in former years. The cause of Christ on these Islands, and in Micronesia are its debtors.

Marquesas Mission. This is the only mission directly under the care of the Hawaiian Board At Micronesia this Board corporates with the A. B. C. F. M. The Corresponding Secretary of the Hawaiian Board and Rev. J. Kauhane, as Delegates of the Hawaiian Board, visited this mission in 1674. Were with the Brethren of that mission in their General Meeting at Puamau, Hivaoa. Some modifications were suggested, and adopted in regard to working the mission hereafter. Letters received from Rev. J. Kekela written since the return of the delegation, bring down the history of the mission to the present time. Kekela writes under date of June 22d, 1874. As many as sixty or seventy persons have come on the sabbath, and asked to be instructed. Thirty-nine came to day school. As our room is too small they have begun to build a house for worship; the house is now finished. This is a new thing for the people of Puamau. Under date of January 10th, 1875, he writes again ■ The health of my wife is restored. We do not wish to return to the Hawaiian Islands, or to go to Omoa, Fatuhiva, but we wish to remain at Puamau, and do the work of the Lord here. Our meeting house has been finished. It is 33x18 feet. What we want is new Missionaries, send them to us. Six churches are connected with this Mission. Three of which are dead ; the members being scattered all over the Islands of the group. Three are in what might be called a flourishing state.

Bingham, the only American Missionary who has labored in the field, thus writes in regard to the reinforcement to those islands : The Morning Star came to anchor in our lagoon at 1 p. m., August 7th, bringing a most precious freight. Our cup of joy is very full. It is difficult to realize the truth, that we really have on the ground an American Associate. Eight Hawaiian Missionaries are located on six of the Islands of this group. Two Gilbert Island Teachers; two Amer- ican Missionaries with the wife of one; six or seven Samoan Teachers are on the Southern Islands of the group. Letters by the Star report five churches with 152 members. 82 admitted the past year. 39 children baptized, and 53 couples married. For con- �IHE FRIEND, JULY, 61 1875.

If we would sustain the Lord's work on these islands, and scatter wide the good seed of the kingdom in other realms, where darkness and sin rule, we must spare no proper effort to raise up and perpetuate an enlightened and spiritual ministry for Hawaii nei and for our mission fields. Respectfully T. COAN, ) J. H. Mahoe, > Committee. A. Pali. ) Examination of the Theological School. The examination of the Theological School of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association was held June 14th, 1875. There were twelve scholars present. The teachers the past year have been : Revs. B. W. Parker, D.* Baldwin and H. H. Parker. The following is the course of study pur- 63 sued ia the School the past year, namely : Bible History, Chronology, Sacred Geography, Church History, Natural Theology, Evidences of Christianity, Exegesis of portions of the New Testament, Christian Theology, Composition and Delivery of Sermons, and Pastoral Theology. Sacred music has also been taught. In most of these branches the students were examined, though owing to the limited time allowed for the examina- tion some of them were omitted. From the appearance of the scholars in the examination, we are satisfied that the teachers have been very diligent, and use< great care in imparting to their pupils a knowledge of the great truths of the Bible and the fundamental doctrines of the Chris tian religion. There was no appearance o carelessness or indifference, or mistakes in their teaching. We were indeed highly pleased with their whole work so far as shown in the examination. The scholars appear to have been obedient and commendably attentive to the instructions of their teachers Most of them were prompt and correct in their answers to questions as though they had comprehended the subjects and firmly fixed the truths in their minds. Though there was not an entire uniformity among them, some appeared more ready than others. The Committee would say a word, by way of exhortation : the members of this Association should earnestly pray the Lord of the harvest that He will raise up suitable candidates for the School, that they may be prepared to go forth and cheerfully and faithfully and earnestly labor in the Master's vineyard, either in the home-field or in other islands as the Lord shall direct. We all, members of the Association and members of the Hawaiian churches, should, look for suitable persons to enter the school. Men of wisdom, and of humility, and men who fear God, and have been renewed by the Holy Spirit. We ought also, all teachers and scholars, pastors and churches, to feel deeply that these scholars will not be prepared for their work, unless,they cultivate a constant communion with Jesus the great Teacher. Human knowledge and wisdom, and human strength, will not fit them for their work, unless they are clothed with humility, filled with love and faith, and with the Holy Ghost. We ought also to pray for these teachers who are now instructing and training the scholars, also that other teachers may be* ready to supply their places, when through age and infirmities they are no longer able to labor, tbat to the school may be a permanent institution. Let us be grateful to the " Lord of the harvest" for the establishment of this Theological School, and for His care over it, and pray that it may be a light to shine upon this nation, and a blessing to other lands now in darkness.
