Enterprise among the Chinese. / Was there ever a people so utterly oblivious to outside criticism as the Chinese ? While by many the gravest doubts are expressed in regard to their fitness as settlers on the islands, and people of almost every other clime are preferred before them, they pursue their destined way with the most philosophic calmness, deeming a growing prosperity in rice-field or shop the most potent weapon of defense. Whatever may be their merits, or demerits as colonists, there has been of late a movement made by some in the right direction, namely, to form an association which shall ultimately bring its members within the range of Christian influences. There are in California similar organizations, though this promises to be even more comprehensive in its scope. The idea originated among our Christian Chinese who desire to bring the gospel to their countrymen. Though no definite plans have yet been formed, it is proposed in time to procure a house, to offer instruction in evening classes, to endeavor to form a pleasant social center for all those who may see fit to join, and to assist any of those members who may be in need. The proposition has met with much favor among the better portion of the Chinese, and several hundred dollars have already been pledged. The undertaking is certainly a noble one, and we trust it may prove a success,// We would acknowledge the receipt of papers for diatribution from Mr. S. B. Dole, Mr. Pratt and Mr P.

Boston, February, 1876. dear My Mr. Damon: If there be such a thing as dissipated church going, I think we were guilty of it yesterday, for we attended, or at least 1 did three full services. Our first was with the Catholics at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. This church is on Washington street. The exterior though not quite finished, is very handsome, and the interior There is no carpet is chaste and beautiful. on the floor. A length of drugget from door to altar softens the fall of the foot. The windows, with the exception of two near the altar, are of plain ground glass. The floor of the chancel is covered with a plain green carpet relieved by one of crimson on the steps leading to the altar. The altar itself, is of different colored marble, and is a model of taste. There are no stiff" muslin flowers here, nor excruciating crucifixes, but a simple gold cross stands on the top of the altar with the usual number of candles. There are pictures on either hand of the main altar, and a colored window behind it, but no images are to be seen anywhere. When we got to the Cathedral, the services had begun, and the large room was apparently filled, but the usher found seats for us after waiting a little while. An Irish priest, whose name I did not learn, preached the sermon. He seemed an educated man, and was fluent of speech and graceful in his gestures, but his sermon was more a product of the imagination than of the profounder faculties of the mind. After entering the pulpit, which stood well out into the body of the church, he read bans of marriage, followed by requests for prayers for the souls of several deceased persons whose names be read. The prayers were at once said, then came the scripture lesson,—the parable of the wheat and tares,—and the parable was the text of the sermon, which was against the sin of scandal. The audience gave the speaker good attention. The congregation was decidedly Irish, and many of them evidently servants. The mass was celebrated by Bishop Williams with many assistants. At 3 o'clock we went with the Baptists to Tremont Temple. The large hall was crowded, and many were standing unable to lind seats. The large number present— urprised me, but 1 was assured it was not ittall uncommon—indeed it was so every Sunday. The pastor of this church is Dr. Lorimer, who it is said was once an actor, and his manner of giving two fine quotations from Shakspeare this afternoon would certainly give credit to the report. There is a good choir hpre, who fang with good ■ fleet, " He inclined unto inc." Prayer — : 35 1876. was followed by the large congregation joining heartily in singing " Work for the night is coming." Next a prayer, reading of the scripture, and another hymn, then the sermon. The subject was modern miracles; the text Mat. 7. 22. The sermon was sound and earnest, though the delivery was certainly dramatic. The difference, between our Lord's miracles, and the so-called miracles of the Roman church and of modern spiritualism was shown. The minicles of the Saviour were wrought for the good and real benefit of man, or in demonstrationof Christ's power,—the Roman priests pretended miracles were only to bind the deceived people faster by the chain of superstition to the Roman church. In one breath with the last word of the sermon came the benediction and the large crowd at once began to go out. Our third church was the Arlington St. Unitarian. The Rev. Edward Everett Hale took the place of the pastor for the evening, giving one of a series of sermons, called to suit the times " revival sermons." The Boston spirit is thoroughly expressed in this church edifice. It is built in the old fashioned way, high box pews, high pulpit and galleries on three sides In the centre of the crimson hanging at the back of the pulpit is a cross in carved wood, corresponding with the wood of the pulpit which, I think is oak. Above the arch are the words " One Lord, the Father," below " One Lord, Jesus Christ." The congregation was entirely different from the other two wo had seen. It was small, quiet and thoughtful. The service began with a voluntary by the choir, and was after the usual order of the service in congregational churches. Mr. Hale read the lust three verses of the 2nd chapter and part of the third chapter of John, taking for his text " We speak that we do know and testify that we have seen. His subject was personal religion,. Mr. Hale had heard Mr. Moody preach from this text reee'ntly. Mr. H. did not so much discuss the text as enforce it, and he grasped at once the central idea of it, s\/,. he must be born from above which is the literal translation of the text. Mr. Hale went on to say that some of Mr. Moody's statements were true and some were not. He should not take issue with him, but should try to present the truth taught in the text and context. The idea of regeneration, which' so many Christians believe this text supports, the idea of an instantaneous change from brutishness to godliness was the merest nonsense, an insult to God's nature. It had come largely from the printed version that a man must he born again. Physical and spiritual growth were precisely similar, illustrated by the growth of seed. The seed did not grow to maturity in an instant of time, a man would not believe that for he knew better, neither would he believe it of his spiritual nature. The so-called regeneration is a growth, a development, nourished and strengthened by the soul's communion with God. It begins almost as soon as the first momeutofconsciousnessand is continued through eternity. How could a preacher make his people understand this spiritual life, this soul-life. Prove it says the sceptical world, but the answer must always be try it and see for yourselves. "We speak that we do know" is the language of every Christian. He had tried the experiment of walking with God and had succeeded, he had always found help from above. Besides these churches, we have been to hear Mr. Murray at Music Hall, Phillips Brooks at Huntington Hall, School of Technology, Mr. Gordon at Clamdeon St. Church and have visited the new Old South. This latter church is sail to be one of the finest in America. When we visited it near the close of the afternoon services, wr went among many others who were going to see it, and to see is to admire. If one might venture to criticise he would say the style of architecture is too elaborate. There is no debt on this church. Fancy our Puritan fathers worshiping in such a building, but I am glatl the time has come when E. H. MC. there children may. " The Passion Flower." The statement made in the following extract may be of interest to some who have perhaps before regarded with but little attention this blossom growing in rank profusion over house and garden ; while the fanciful and yet beautiful symbolism may renderthe flower an evangel of hope to us all as we shall note hereafter its divine and exquisite mechanism. Some one has lately said of the dandelion seed, " as it floats through the air with its seed hanging like a miniature car frem its finely spread balloon, it would seem to be enough to cut up all atheism by the roots." So we doubtwhether there is any one who can thoughtfully examine the " Passion Flower," or the still more wonderful and beautiful " Flower of the Holy Ghost," "a blossom from the Tree of Life, shaken over the wall by a breeze from heaven," and say " There is no God :" When the Spaniards discovered South America they saw. amongst other plants new to them, a climbing shrub, having from two to three fruit-bearing flowers, unlike any they had ever seen. One day a priest was preaching to the Peruvians, or aboriginal inhabitants, amidst the wild scenery of their native forests. His subject was the Passion of Our Lord. His eye suddenly glanced at this curious flower, which hung in festoons from the trees overhead, and he saw a vivid picture of thesad story of Calvary. The rings of threads which surround the cup of the flower, and which arc mottled with blue, crimson, and white, suggested the crown of thorns, stained with blood, to his mind, tutored by meditation ; the five anthers, on the stamens, represented the five wounds; the three styles, the nails which fixed Our Blessed Lord to the Cross. " So, without Bibles or books, did this holy man instruct his converts on the Passion; and to this day our beautiful creeping garden flower is called " The Passion Flower." In all languages it bears the same name." " �36 THE FRI E Ml THE FRIEND, MAY Y. 1876. EDITOR'S TABLE. Rose and Roof Tree. Rom and Ronf-Tre.. Poema by George Paraona Lalhrnp, Roaton. JumR. Oafood Co. The' interest * which we anticipated with the coming of Mr. Lathrop's poems, stimulated by many and favorable criticisms in American journals, has been fully equalled by the rare pleasure we have experienced of late in their perusal. Though the haze of distance and years of absence may have dimmed the poet's memories of his early home, while the land of his adoption has become the land of his hope and love, yet there has been an added charm for us in the music of his verses, springing from the thought that his birth was among us, that here first he looked with the eager eyes of boyhood on the beauties and mysteries of that outer world of which he has become so graceful and sincere an interpreter and revealer. We feel a nearness to the singer in the song, a kinship of desire and longing by reason of our common birth-right of soil and air, of sun and sky. Thus early would we lay claim to the new bard, so that in coming days, if cities battle for the glory of calling him son, our plea may not be disregarded. Tennyson's verse, 41The poet in a golden clime wju horn," may then not inappropriately be said of one cradled on our shores of " deathless summer." It has ever been a favorite theory of ours that these sun lends of the Pacific had in them the seed of poetry and poets and we may be pardoned the fancy that this new climber " Upon theenchanted ladder of hti rhyme." unconsciously drew with his earliest breath the first inspiration of his poetic purpose from the silent influences at work about him. We trust at least that Mr. Lathrop may be the leader of a band, the key-note of whose songs shall be found in the murmur of our ocean waves and in the music of our winds. Believing that there are always those who can discern flaws in the choicest workmanship, we have allowed ourselves simply to enjoy to the full the sweet, pure, melodious utterances contained in the little volume before us. With most admirable judgment and rare taste the writer has avoided many of those faults of style and sentiment, which so frequently are the stumbling-blocks of young poets and while vigorous and untramelled in imagination, yet presents often times his thoughts in a setting of exquisite delicacy , MAY. 187 6. and finish, which many of maturer years might envy. In the very out set Mr. Lathrop appears to us to establish his poet's right to be heard in the verses entitled MCSIC OF GROWTH. Munlo is in all growing things; And underneath the silken wings Of smallest insects there ia stirred A poise of air that must be heard. Earth's silence lives, and throbs, and sings. If poet from the vibrant strings Of hia poor heart a measure flings. Laugh not, that he no trumpet blowa; It may be that Heaven hears and knows His language of low listenings." " "Contentment" will come to many with the peace of a benediction : hours have been when I have seen " Glad Life's scope and each dry day's intent United; so that I could stand In silence, covering with my hand The circle of the universe, Balance the blessing and the curse And trust in deeds without chagrin. Free from to-morrow and yesterday—content." But it is in the songs of nature that we see the poet at his best. There is a freshness in his treatment of old themes, a rare art of discovering and suggesting new points of view in well-known landscapes which is delightful. Very truly does Keats say, " The poetry of earth ia never dead." There is also a tenderness of expression and a sympathy of insight in much that he writes, that would lead you to fancy that the secret of joy which thrills in the notes of birds and dances in the sunlight had been told him. As some one has lately said in speaking of these same poems, " In turning the pages there is a sense of rains and mists and winds, of things that grow in the sun-light or under the shadow of leaves." In this sweet under-world where nature admits only the chosen few, he is most at home. Those, who are sometimes almost surfeited with the unending warmth and sunshine of the Tropics, and who turn with longing to the beauty and variety of the more northern year, will read with a rekindling of old and pleasant memories "An April Aria," "June Longings," and"A chant for Autumn." Of these we can quote but the first, AN APRIL ARIA When the mornings dankly fall With a dim forethought of rain. And the robins richly call To their mates mercurial. And the tree-boughs creak and (train In the wind; When the river's rough with foam. And the new-made clearings smoke, And the clouds that go and come Shine and darken frolicsome, And the froga at evening croak Undefined Mysteries of monotone. And by melting beds of snow Wind-flowers blossom all alone, Then I know That the bitter winter's dead Over his head — The damp sod breaks ao mellow, Its mosses tipped with points of yellow,— I cannot but be glad; Yet this aweet mood will borrow Something of a sweeter sorrow, To touch and turn me aad. The "Song-Sparrow" sings itself into your heart, till almost unconsciously you join in saying i my sparrow, thou dost breed " Oh, Thought in me beyond all telling; Shoolest through me sunlight, seed. And fruitful blessing, with that welling Ripple of ecetatio rest. Gurgling ever from tby breast !" From other poems which have pleased us much our space will not permit us to quote at length and we are unwilling to mat them by extracts. Great variety and depth of sentiment are manifested in "Jessamine," " Moods of Love," " The Singing Wire," " The Bather," andtin two sonnets, almost painful in their intensity "A face in the Street," and " O Wholesome Death." The very genuine success which Mr. Lathrop has achieved and at so early an age, has in it the promise of a noble future. We trust that at no very distant day thoughts of these Pacific Islands may tempt the poet to seek new themes and inspiration in their valleys and mountains. He will find an nnwrought field but one rich in poetic resources, which shall swiflly open to the subtle magic of his touch. May not Hawaii yet claim him as her Laureate ? Through and Through the Tropics. Through and through the Tropica, 'thirty thousand mile, of travel In Oceanica. Au.trala.ia, and India. By Frank Vincent, jr. Mr. Vincent seems to have the very happy faculty, as an author, of saying what he wants to say in such a straight forward, simple, and pleasing manner, that he has already acquired a popularity through his books which many travelers of more marked ability, but less ease of expression, have failed to gain. His first work, entitled " The Land of the White Elephant," has been received with much favor, both in America and abroad ; while a late volume from his pen, " Through and Through the Tropics," will be read with much interest and profit. Perhaps we can not give a better idea of the scope of the last named book than by quoting a brief notice of it, which appeared in Harper's, for April: •' The author starts for California, via Cape Horn, on a clipper ship, with three other passengers, from San Francisco goes to the Sandwich Islands, thence to Sydney and Calcutta, and thence northward to and through parts of " High Asia," coming back to Bombay, where this journal leaves him. The route is an uncommon one; it includes observations on lands which are quite off the ordinary paths of travel; and though the volume, is small, and the author gives us .< �I II E FRIEND, NAY. 37 1*76. glimpse rather than a view of them, his out- j grand, almost beyond comparison.

M. C. A. A short paper was read some time since before the Young Mbu's Christian Assoelation of Honolulu, which endeavored to point out the indirect bad influence upon the physical welfare of the Hawaiian race necessarily exerted by mental idleness, and to suggest, in an amplification of the existing educational press, a plan from which, if it were feasible, at least some advantage, slight perhaps at first but likely to increase, might be expected. The paper to which we have alluded made the following remarks with reference to the Hawaiian people •• For them, indeed, much has already been done: Christian teaching has long been provided without lack of pecuniary assistance ; and they possess a system of state primary education equal in extent, if not in degree, to that of any other country. They have ■ Constitutional Government and a King, whose interest is sincerely in the welfnre of his people ; they have churches and preachers, schools where their boys and girls may obtain as much education as usually falls to the lot of a middle class in other civilized countries, a well endowed hospital for the : sick, and doctors maintained at state expense. The climate is healthy, and absolute poverty is unknown among those who care to work. Why should it be so frequently, and alas ! co'dly remarked that in a few years more the race will have disappeared ? We do not put this question with a view of hearing the well-known answer that it is because they will not take care of themselves and their children, but rather to elicit opinrhn as to whether anything con be done which neither earnest religious teaching nor an efficient administration of existing laws will do. We say that many of the people arc idle und dissipated. Men cannot be always ;it manual work, even when hard work is a stern necessity of mere life, which it is not here ; and what terrible temptations to idleness and dissipation would have been ours if, even with a good schooling, we had enjoyed no literature of our own, if all our after-school information and entertainment had to be obtained through the difficult medium of a foreign tongue ! It is sometimes asserted that the government system of education ought to aim at making the English language the vernacular; but while the natives so far out-number the foreigners resident here, no amount of legislation will prevent the Hawaiian language from being that most familiar to the people; and though boys and girls at school may read and speak fluently enough in English, from (he moment when school is over and they take up subsequent occupation among those of their own race, the language of their parents, of their infancy, will resume its place as their language. In what other country under the sun has a native tongue been exchanged for one imported, unless as a condition of con- quest? We speak, of course, of the language of the majority the middle and lower classes, for higher education, and even fashion, will often produce such an exchange among those whoso position renders tliem amenable to such influences. The question us to whether a change of the vernacular is desirable or possible, we cannot now discuss ; such a change has apparently not suggested itself as practicable to tlst- earlier teachers hereof any creed, and we will assume that their decision in the matter has lieen right, Without doubt the people are, to u great extent, shut out in this way from a means of mental recreation and improvement ; where is the wonder, then, if idle minds naturally drift in ■ wrong direction ?" A number of newspapers in the native language have enjoyed ephemeral prosperity and perished for lack of pecuniary support. The existing periodicals are the weekly Kuohoit ami I.nilni Hamuli, the former of which is a newspaper in the ordinary sense, while the latter adds to its news a selection of articles upon subjects of general interest. Even these papers would probably hardly hold their own as financial investments but for their possession of a number of unpaid contributors; and with the bible, sundry hymn books and prayer books, the school books of the Board of Education, and"The Pioneer Boy," they constitute most of the Hawaiian literature of the day. It seems likely that private enterprise can do no more than it has done in this direction, and only associated effort can then assist the matter. The government of the country has at one time or another subsidized portions of the public press as its mouthpiece; and, though in political respects a partisan journal will probably not be influential far beyond its sympathizers, we think that a government publication under the direction of a body so free in its official capacity from party feeling as the Board of Education, would be free from any political limit in its circulation. A magazine, published or assisted by the Board, containing well selected matter of an instructive and interesting kind, whether historical, scientific or fictitious, and made as attractive and handy in form as circumstances permit, would find many readers; and if portable in form it would in many cases be preserved, instead of being used to wrap parcels in. A few years' collection of such a paper would form libraries full of interest to the boys and girls who can read well enough, but who, having nothing to read, naturally become idle and go adrift. The former result would, we think, very well justify the application of some outlayby the Board of Education. It might be possible to alter the form of one of the existing papers in such a way as to make its copies more likely to be preserved, and place its direction in the hands of the Board. It would however be necessary to keep the element of politics out of the scheme altogether. The following remarks in the Advertiser of Jnn. 9th, 1875, with regard to the papei we have quoted, indicate the Legislature as the power by whom any such plan as we suggest would have to be authorized, before the Board of Education could apply it at all The idea thrown out by the writer, that the Board of Education could advantageously undertake the publication of a periodical newspaper or mugazine in the native language, is an excellent one, were there no present difficulties in the way. The first and most important of these is the lack of means at the disposal of the Board. The sum of 550.660 is provided in the appropriation bill passed at thu last session of the Legislature for the expenses of the Bureau of Public. Instruction during the two years ending March 31st, IS7B, and the items are specifically mentioned upon which that sum may be expended. Moreover a section of the appropriation bill declares that the " Minister of Finance shall not cause or allow to be paid from the treasury any money for objects not provided for by this law " Thus it will be seen that however much the enlightened gentlemen who compose the Board of Education might be inclined to adopt the idea of a State Educational Prean, they are powerless to move in the matter until the Legislature shall have provided the necessary meanBut we are glad to see that the attention ofthoughtful mid generous minded people is directed to this subject, and that they are unwilling without further inquiry to adopt the cold and cheerless theory that but a fewmore years will see the last of the race. We trust that the discussion will be continued, until the opinion shall prevail that something can be done in behalf of the Hawaiian* which neither earnest religious teaching nor an .efficient administration ot " existing laws will do." The lecture delivered by President Pratt before the Y. M. C. A., on Friday evening, April 21, was most interesting and profitable. The freshness of the subject, " The Deaf and Dumb," and the ease and ability which the lecturer displayed in treating of it, could not but give plessure to all present. We regret that our limited space prevents us from giving as full a notice of the lecture as it deserves. The Association, we are sure, are most truly grateful for the kindness and courtesy of this effort in their Mialf. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
