Last Saturday we made anothercharming excursion, and this time to Coppet, a quiet little town, on the shore of the lake, rendered famous as being the home of Madame dc Stael and the literary birth-place of •' Corinne." 1 hope that every enthusiastic admirer of this remarkably fascinating and exqusitely written book, may some day have the same privilege that our little company had, and see the old chateau under as favorable circumstances. It was one of those rare and perfect days in the dawning beauty of the spring time, when the sharp and stern lines of the winter fade into soft and sweeping curves and the glad earth takes with gratitude the blessed gifts of sunshine and warmth. The air from the far off gleaming glaciers was softened and sweetened by the breath of violets and meadow grasses which it had passed on its way. From our little steamer we watched the shore with its ever charming panorama, where natural beauty takes on a new charm from the famous names which are linked with the little villages and old chateaux that group themselves among the trees and shrubbery. On the hill, with its far-reaching vineyards, is the elegant villa of Rothschild, more like a palace than a summer house, and nestling among the trees on the very edge of the lake the dwelling of Sir Robert Peele. And just beyond the country seat, where the sad and unfortunate Josephine came in those bitter days when another sat in her imperial place. Off in the distance, where the churcha spire catches the sunlight and becomes gleaming shaft against the sky, is Genthoa, so dearly loved of the Genevese naturalist*. Here Bounet lived and thought and studied snd entertained his many admiring friends who came to learn at his feet. Dc Saussure who was one of the first to open the beauty and unlock the mystery of the Alpine world, wrote amid these quietrural scenes his famous " Travels in the Alps." To these add the names of Pictel, of Marignac, of Favre, and of Boissier, and you feel that Genthoa is worthy of more than a passing notice. Just a moment the boat stops at Versoix, where our brave little .teamer add* to its passenger list. Here the Duke dc Choiseul in 1770, laid out the plan of a city which he hoped would one day be the rival of Ge. - Court. United States Consul.—We are glad to welcome our old Consul, Dr. Scott and his wife, after their visit to the United States, who were guests at the White House, while passing through Washington. The President and Dr. Scott are old political friends in Ohio politics, while Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Scott are cordial friends and fully in sympathy on the temperance question, which has received a grand impetus from the noble women of Ohio.

The branches and sprays of oak and birch are bright with freshly opened Wild flowers, primroses, anemones, daisies, buttercups and violets bloom on every hand, making of eachshadowy nook and sunlit field a perfect fairy land. A little, foamy brook dances away musically into the woodlands beyond, and its echo blends with the chorus of the birds who are singing as if they would let all the wide world know of their joy. Following the road we come to the family tomb, almost hidden in the front of a little evergreen grove and surrounded by a forbidding wall which seemed closed to all inquisitive visitors. Here in this quiet spot, where no sounds are heard but the rustling of the leaves, rest the bodies of Necker and his daughter, Madame dc Stael. It is a plain and simple resting place for the most brilliant woman of Europe, whose pen and speech were more dreaded by Napoleon than the armed host of the enemy, and who, in her strength and power, still speaks to an admiring world. But the broad blue heaven is a grander dome, and the sunlit peaks of the Alps a nobler monument than any which mere human power could have reared to her leaves. memory. AUTHORESS OF THE NEAR AND HEAVENLY HORIZONS. No names in modern French literature are more loved than those of the Count and Countess dc Gasparin. Their home in Geneva was the resort of those who loved to view life from the same high and lofty standpoint as did their genial host and hostess. All great, pure, noble thoughts found a home in their hearts, and their writings went forth to comfort and cheer thousands who looked henceforth to them as worthy of their deepest gratitude. They were singularly adapted one to the other, and presented a rare and beautiful example of perfect union of heart and soul. Among the works of Madame dc Gasparin, the best known is the " Near and Heavenly Horizons," which has been widely read in America. It abounds in delicate and beautiful thoughts and perceptions, and in reading it the shadowy and far off, spirit realm seems to come nearer and nearer, and the glory and beauty and rest which are the believer's portion, take on a reality, which is often lost in the mystical and unnatural anticipations of many writers. She longs for a heaven where all that is pure and noble in this life shall find a fuller and more glorious realization; where friend shall know friend, and where, in the absence of sin, and in the light of all divine and purifying impulses the redeemed shall enter upon the grandeur of their eternal life. If 1 am not mistaken her book Was a prelude to that of Miss Phelps' "Gates Ajar," though expressed with a delicacy and refinement which is sometimes lacking in the latter. Madame dc Gasparin wrote other most delightful books on a variety of subjects. She was the founder at Lausaune of a most excellent and practical school for the training of nurses. But the last few years of the life of this most gifted lady have been most painfully clouded. Since her husband's death she has resided at her country house at Chambesy, just out of Geneva, in the most unyielding seclusion and retiracy.

Among the clustering trees can be seen the old chateau, whose last owner was Joseph Bonaparte. Here is the beginning of " the vines of La Cote," from which come the most famous of the Swiss wines. One old castle after another comes in view, each with its historic associations; but none more interesting than that of the days of the good Queen Bertha, whose name still lingers in thesesunny uplands, and is still the synonym of all that is wise and industrious. So strong and firm do the walls of her castle stand that we can scarcely believe that hundreds of years have flown since this most exemplary lady rode hither and thither in her kingdom, distaff in hand, an inspiration to all her subjects. But our boat is at Ouchy, almost before we are willing to land. The mountains which have been growing grander as we came nearer, are now most beautiful. There is something so suggestively island-like about them as they rise abruptly from the blue waters of the lake, that it gives me a little of a home-sick twinge to think that I am here in the henrt of Switzerland, ant that the brightest and most beautiful island lhat gleam on the waters of the Pacific, are 8000 miles away.

Showers are stealing down th valley, amidst whose shimmering, mist folds shines for a moment, the tremulou fragment of a rain-bow. But this is Ouchy and here we land.

We take pleasure in noting another addition to the list of benevolent associations of Honolulu. Through tho zealmis exertions of J. Perry, Ktq., the Portuguese Consul for these islands, a Society ha* been formed among his countrymen resident, here, on a similar basis of mutual aid with the English and German Societies, and wilh a membership of something over fifty. The new society ia named after Saint Antony of Padua, a famous Portuguese Confessor, of whom it ia related that he once preached to the fishes, aod that on the day of his death at Padua in Italy, on the 13th of June, 1281. all the belli in the churches throughout Portugal rang of themselves. Numerous other remarkable things are told of this saint, whose memory ia greatly revered wherever the children of Portugal are found.

Dr. Dnmon, on June 7th, 1877, when the Secretary presented tbe following Report: "On the 10th day of June, In tbe yesrofour Lord one thousand eight hundred and fltiy-iwo, tbete was usbered Into existence with appropriate ceremonies, in this very room, the "Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society." •'Fltty-two ladles were present who subscribed tbelr names to tbe constitution, and started tbe young Society on its mission ol love, to the sick and destitute strangers within onrgotcs." We think tbe bas fulfilled tbe promise ber birth inspired during the twenty-five years she bos lived and labored. We think sbo deserves a plsce among the "many daughters who have done virtuously." Her simple annals, if properly written, would be. worthy of a place among the good and nseful of any age. A brief glance only of berj life and labor will be preseuted to day. As ber name indicte* tbe great object of tbla Society has been tbe care of sick and needy strangers; and this, too, without regard to creed or clime from whence they came. So it has come to pass that more Roman Catholics than Protestants have received aid from our treasury, while England and her colonies, and various countries, of continental have furnished tbe largest proportion of our beneficiaries. Neither have strangers been the only one* who have received aid. Etch year find* v* with the names of needy residents upon our list, beside* many wanderers who, during these years, have been assisted in returning to their homes in other lands, by tbe funds of tbis Society. In all the varied labors ol the Society, we have had tbe constant and devoted aid Irom the very first of the Rev. Or. Damon, for our sick, our dying, and our dead. No one not intimately acquainted withita workings can Imagine tbe wisdom and judgment needed in deciding on tho numerous applicants for aid,and for caring for individual cases, otlon througb long months of slow decline, until they are finally laid away in the grave. Our fifty-two ladies would have been often In great perplexity witbout tbe counsel and old of Dr. Damon. Early in its bistory, through the energetic efforts ol those ladles, the Society secured a fund of t'JOOO, which was, by tbe advice ol several leading business gentlemen of Honolulu, placed at interest on good security, for tbe continued benefit of tbe Society. Tbe Interest, drawn semi-annually during all these years, bus materially aided in carrying forward tbe objects tor which the Society was organized. We have also received Irom time to time generous donations from charitable friends. Tbe names of all these are placed upon the records of Ibo Society, and wo bope they are alto written in tbe Lamb's Book of Immortal Life. For more than ten years from its commencement tbe sum expended annually by tbe Society averaged f.VX>. Dniing tbe year just closed tbe amount expended has been $4154. The number sided during tbe year bas been seven, including two women with families of little children. Oue of our beneficiaries died a lew days ago, after being in our care tor about 18 months. lie was an English subject, and balled from Canada. A day or two before be passed away, he expressed • to our President his deep gratitude to the ladies of tbis Society for the care they had afforded him during bis very lingering decline. He was u Roman Catholic, and was attended In his last moments, by a priest of that church, who also took charge of his burial. Of tbe fifty two ladles who united in the formation of this Society 25 years ago, ritteen only remain at these islands. Eighteen have returned to their native homes, and tbe remainder have "lallen atleeo." One of this latter number has passed sway from ua during the year just closed. Mrs. E. O. Hall will he always remurobered for ber large-hearted charities. She was one, into whose hands we were glsd to see tbe means of doing good abundantly placed. "Freely she received, very freely she gave. Although forsome years her works of benevolence have been given through another channel, yet we always felt stronger for her life and tabors among us. "Sue reals from her labors, aod her works do follow her." While to many ol ibe original fifty-two have left us tor other scene* and labors, others have grown up in oar community, aud others still have come JULY, 1877. among us from distant lands, from lime to time, who have cordially united with us in carrying forward tho work ol the Society. So tbat we still hold hopefully on our way, with tbe ever increasing conviction of the value and importance of thin organization in these distant Islands, of the Pacific. Now, it is the custom of common mortals in many places to celebrate the Ittlb anniversary of their wedded lives, by festivals, called "silver weddings." where friends gather, to offer their congratulations, und present rare and valuable gilts; and your secretary respectfully suggests, that il would be eminently proper |.>r the charitably-disposed of our Island Community, lo make a generous tribute, on this unnlversary, to tbe labors and value ol this Society a- a public servant, in ttie way of substantial aid ; which shall he faithfully used tor the poor aud suffering, and which may prove to tbe donors, a treasure laid up in Heaven."

It is customary also to have an essay on each evening, the subject of which often leads to spirited and interesting remarks. The Chinese Mission Committee, is one with whom Mr. Sit Moon, our Colporteur and Home Missionary among the Chinese, may consult at any time for advice or aid. The Chinese Sunday /School Committee of one is the superintendent of the Chinese Sunday School, which is held every Sunday afternoon, in the vestry of Fort Street Church. This committee keeps the association informed as to the welfare of the school. The editors of the Y. M. C. A., page of the Friend keep this page filled with items pertaining to the work of the association, extracts and hints from papers and letters of Foreign Associations and for the general improvement, and advancement of our own. At our last meeting the subject was discussed of the society awakening to active labor. In union there is strength and if all of the members will endeavor to attend its meetings, and bdrig others with them, the meetings will be made more interesting, and attractive. We would also take this opportunity to invite the public generally to pay inside life and work of the Association may not be familiar to all of our readers, and indeed as it is probable that little is known by the public, it may be well, and beneficial to the Association to air its works through this, its mouth piece, the last page of the Friend.

He first expressed a very stone cutter, who common wish, "Oh that I were rich!" this being granted by the gods, he next wished to become a king, so that he might have power. In this station he still found a source of discontent. So after many changes he wished to become a rock, which even the floods could not move, this being granted, he for a time enjoyed his newly acquired power, for neither the burning sun, rushing wind nor roaring floods could move him. One day a man with a sharp chisel and heavy hammer came along, and began to cut stones out of the rock, and the rock said, " What is this—that the man has power over me, and can cut stones out of my bosom ? I am weaker than he; I should like to be that man !" and there came an angel out of Heaven, who said, "Be this as you said ;" and the rock became a stone cutter; and he cut stones with hard labor for small wages, and was contented. If a man be gracious to strangers, it shows that he is a citizen of this world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a part of the continent that joins them.—Bacon.

Lahainaluna 'Seminary in which spe have all felt »o deep an interest, as its foundations were laid by the fathers of this association, and of which many of our pastors are graduates, has been transformed into an English school. It is true a very few studies in the Hawaiian language are to be retained, but for the most part tbe studies are to be pursued in the English language. The Rev. S. E. Bishop, president of the institution, has resigned his position, and the Hon. H. R. Hitchcock bas been appointed to the vacancy, and wilt assume the duties of president at the commencement of the next term. Mr. Baldwin has been appointed Inspector General of Schools, in place of Hon. H. R. Hitchcock. The ffilo Boarding School continues on its way, under the guidance of its Board of Trustees. Mr. Makaitnoku is principal. He has two Hawaiian assistants. Rev. D. B. Lyman, formerly principal, continues to act as treasurer. These institutions are now under the superintendence of the Hawaiian Board of Education ; the time having expired, when those who established them, can have a voice in their management. The female seminaries in sympathy with us are the same in number as last year, �TIE 60 •• namely four. They have many pupil* s* they can well accommodate. A grant of IftOO from the A. B. C. F. M. for female education in these island* was divided by the Hawaiian Board equally among tbe four schools,'giving each 1125. Some changes have taken place in the teacher* of these schools. Mrs. Smith from California, has been added to the teacher* of the East Maui Female Seminary. Mis* Rowell has retired from the Kawaiahao Female Seminary, as has Miss Pogue from the Waialua Female Seminary, and Miss Thompson from the Kohala Female Seminary. Miss King, it is said, will retire from Kawaiahao Seminary at the close of this year, and Mrs. M. E. Atwater will takeher place. Mrs. and Miss Lyons' family school at Waimea, Hawaii, has been continued the past year; but with fewer pupils, on account of Mrs. Lyons' health. A good work is being done by those who labor in these schools. Though some of the graduates may disappoint the expectations of those who labor for them, ripe fruit is yearly produced by these schools. Make the mothers of the nation pure, and the population will be pure. .. CHINESE WORK. The Hawaiian Board have given $100, the past year toward the support of the Chinese Colporteur, Sit Moon. This brother is doing a good work among his countrymen. Some professing Christians from China have brought letters of dismission from churches in China to the churches here. This is a new feature of our work among this class. These Christian Chinese are for the most part at Kohala, and are spoken of in the highest terms. Sit Moon has visited them, at the Kohala plantation. Ought not this board to do more than it has done for this increasing class of our population? Your present secretary thinks it ought. ■ This THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. institution has been greatly afflicted the past year in the removal by death of President of the Faculty, Rev. B. W. Parker, who had been connected with the seminary from the time that it was removed from Wailuku, Maui, to Honolulu, Oahu. The A. B. C. F. M. have designated and sent to us a man to be at the head of this school of Prophets, the Rev. C. M. Hyde, D. D., from Massachusetts. The doctor is with us to engage in the work of raising up an efficient and educated Ministry for our Hawaiian churches, and Foreign Missionaries for the North Pacific. In this he will have the aid and sympathy of all lovers of Hawaii nei. The former President of the Faculty and one of the teacher* spent a part of last year in the (J. S. A. The duties of the seminary for the years 1876-1877 were commenced in October, 1876, and continued until the death of the late President of the Faculty. Rev. D. Baldwin taught classes in the seminary a part of the year. Nine pupils have been in attendance at tbe seminary the past year. The number of pupils now is six. One of these S. P. K. Nawaa ha* been recently appointed as a missionary by our board. He has married the JULY, 1877 J- RIE \ It, widow of his brother, late missionary at Mille. They expert lo go to the Marshall Island* by the Morning Star, to labor perhaps at Mille, where Mrs. Nawaa was a popular teacher. PUBLICATIONS. The newspaper Ka Lahui Hawaii, ("The Hawaiian Nation") has been continued as in former years. It has won its way among the people. More than 2000 copies are weekly circulated. Our board have appropriated I*6oo the past year toward its support. We have paid out for printing the paper since last June the sum of 52.693 dollars. Rev. M. Kuaea has had a Sabbafh school book, the Haaicina Mua [First Lessons,] (prepared by Rev. L. Lyons), in his hand for a revision. If it is ready it will be put through the press the coming year. A revised edition of 2000 copies of the Gilbert Islands Xew Testament, is now being printed here in Honolulu by Mr. H. M. Whitney under the superintendence of Rev. H. Bingham. 200 copies of the new edition of Hawaiian Bibles, bound in a cheap form, have been received from New York. 100 of these were a donation from the Bible Society, to make up losses on the sales of the book here, as we sell the book for less than cost price in New York. Our debt to the American Tract Society has been reduced to $176.10. We have forwarded that Society 8500 during the less children, of the Gilbert Islands mission. Mr. Whitney of Ebon says,"The captains and mates were kind, and afforded all the facilities in their power to the accomplishing of our work. I was allowed all the time I asked for at eaoh station." MARQUESAS MISSION. No personal intercourse has been held with the brethren of this mission the past year. Letters however have been received from each of the missionaries. The work is as it has been in years past. Our mis- sionaries are exerting an influence for good over the dwellers on those islands, aboriginal and foreign. They have no idea of leaving the field. For years, efforts have been made to get a reinforcement for this mission, but without success. The missionaries in that field are as last year. Missionaries.

The Morning Star left Honolulu on the sth of July, 1876, on her annual visit to our missions in Micronesia. Rrturning, she arrived at Honolulu on the 14th of January, 1877. having been absent a little over six months. The voyage was a prosperous one. The following missionaries returned to Honolulu on the vessel: Rev B. G. Snow and wife, with Mrs. Kaaialii and child of the Marshall Island mission. Mrs. Logan of Ponspe. R««v. H. J. Taylor and son, with Key. W. B. Kapu and his thn»e mother- ings, to teach his countrymen. On the way he called at Tapiteuea, where he bought books of Mr. Kapu. * * When he arrived honfe he berated his countrymen for having driven off their missionary. They told him they did not drive him off, nor did they wish him to leave, but tharsickness was the occasion of his having. He told them that could never be, that if they had not done anything else, they had neglected him and left him to starve, and neglected to attend on hi* instructions and he had become sick in consequence, and thus been obliged to leave. But he commenced to teach them, going from one council-house to another, till they became interested and fol- �FRIEND, ■I■ H X lowed him round from place to place, to learn. May we not hope that this work is of God, and that good will be done by this young disciple." Apemama. In speaking of Moses Kanoaro, a licensed Gilbert Island preacher in charge of the missionary wtirk on this island, Mr. Bailey says " Moses Kanoaro gives a good account of things, though it would seem there is no special change since last year." " In company with him and Rev. Mr. Kanoa for interpreter we went on shore to his house, where we saw his wife in her department as house-keeper, which she seemed to administer well, so far as I could judge. At any rate the house and surroundings were very neat." Maiana. Six persons have been admitted to church fellowship. Key. W. N. Lono : reports the work ss not progressing. At an examination, three schools were represented. Population of the island from 2 to 3,000, and thought to be increasing. Of the work here Mr. Bailey reports '• the work on Maiana to be going on much as usual. The people at the station give less heed to his [Rev. W. N. Lono's] instructions than do those of a village some eight miles distant to which he often goes. If the darkness is passing away it does so very slowly. But Lono and his worthy help-meet seem to have perseverance to hold on, and we may hope that in due season they will reap a rich reward » * * It must be noted how the people come around the missionary in these islands, and pour into his house and yards, with their often very disagreeable presence, and make themselves very familiar to annoyance. The missionaries are very patient with them, and have much of. this sort to bear." Marakei. Rev. D. Kanoho reports three places where schools are held. Mr. Bailey says : " We found the work going on prosperously. * * * * Mr. Kanoho reports 75 church members, and tbat there is much desire for instruction. There is much drunkenness here as in Tapiteuea, but there is also a strong determination on the part of many to hold on to the ways of the Lord. If would seem that this island is among the brightest* spots in the Gilbert group. Mr. Kanoho and wife are faithful missionaries." Tarawa. For more than a year no missionary had been resident on this island. Mr. G. Hainn returned from Apaiang to his old post in September last. He had visited the church there with Rev. G. Leleo early in the year. Several members were suspended. The Lord's Supper was observed by the church. One has since been added on profession of faith. Whole number in • regular standing—4 A Gilbert Island catechist. Simon Kabure, formerly on Marakei, is now at work on Tarawa ; as is also John Teraoi ofTapiteuea, a pupil from the training school on Apaiang, for some years a protege of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society. Apaiang. At this island Messrs. Taylor and Leleo have labored with much success. Tbe training school was prospering. Mr. Bailey says, " The success of the training school at Apaiang has been fully in proportion to the means used, and the young mt-'n appear well."

The church seems to be in a good, healthy condition, and the people generally seem much more respectful and decorous than they have been. Mr. Bailey adds, " Upon the whole, appearances are more favorable for Apaiang now than they have ever been, and we may hope that a great blessing will descend upon this hitherto hard field, if the work is continued." About 200 belong to the Christian party ; 65 are in good standing in the church. Population in November, 1571.2792; in April, 1876, 2823. It is very doubtful whether Mr. Taylor will ever be able to return again to Apaiang. Of Mr. Bingham's work mention has already been made. We add, that Mrs. Bingham is assisting in reading the proofs of the revised Gilbert Islands New Testament, for which book, and also for hymn books, our late delegate says, in speaking ol the work on Marakei, there, is " great demand with no supply." At Butaritari and Makin there are two churches, one of which is under the rare of Rev. J. W. Kanoa. This church seems to have suffered very much during the late absence of its pastor. Only seven church members are in regular standing. Mr. Bailey says that " Nan Teitei, brother of the king, sent $200 in gold per Morning Star to E. O. Hall & Son, to purchase lumber for a new church." The other church is at Kuma [the north end of Butaritari | and Makin, under the pastoral charge of Rev. R. Maka. It is represented as in a prosperous state ; 11 persons have been admitted to the church the past year. 59 church membersare in regular standing Mr. Maka's health is not good. Schools are not in a prosperous state. This island is the most fertile of the as a group. In speaking of the whole group, our delegate says : "A field of 30,000 people, the number which the Gilbert Islands are sup- posed to contain, should engage the earnest attention of all workers for the heathen." In our portion of the group there are—l station occupied a- part of the past year by one American, 7 by Hawaiians, 6 outstations, 8 churches, 295 church members in regular standing, 2 American and 8 Hawaiian missionaries, 1 American and 7 Hawaiian female assistant missionaries, 3 native catechists, 10 teachers in day schools.

The number of laborers in this field has been reduced very much, but our hearts are cheered to know that new missionaries are about to supply tbe needs. Rev. E. M. Pease, m. d. and wife have been designated to this field by the 'A. B. C. F. M. to reside nt Ebon with Mr. Whitney snd wife. parture one pupil of his school wa* atstiuned This is a great acquisition to the mission. 61 Dr. and Mrs. Pease are now here ready to go down on the Morning Star. Mr. Kaaia and wife return now to their field. Of Mr. Nawaa and wife mention has been already made. Rev B. G. Snow ami wife have been compelled to leave the field for the present on account of Mr. Snow's health. Mr. and Mrs. Whitney are not strong but continue in the work. The work on these islands has been impeded the past year by wars and rumors of war. Milk; the island formerly occupied by the late Kahelemauna and his wife (now Mrs. Nawaa), is spoken of as the most promising field in the Marshall Islands, Jeremiah a licensed preacher of this group has been ordained\s pastor over the church at Mille, 2 deacons elected by the church, were 6et apart to their work by the laying on of hands—and 23 persons received into the church,—the chief and his wife among the latter. Andrew a Marshall island man, is the teacher at Aruo. The people very much desire a Hawaiian missionary. Some 3 or 4, in the estimation of Andrew, have passed from death into life. On the island of Mejuro, war has reduced the number of scholars iv the schools, and also hindered the progress of the cause. Mr. Kekuewa, who is the Hawaiian teacher there says, " It is a time of darkness at Mejuro. There are 3 great impediments in the way of the progress of the Gospel, viz : Ist, the conduct of foreigners; 2d, war; 3d, dancing. Jaluij is well supplied by Rev. D.

It will be remembered that there was a severe hurricane on this island two years ago, which did much damage rfl houses, lands and trees. Capelle & Co. have stores here, and do a large business. Rumors of war, though there has been flo fighting, have not helped on the work. Mr. Kapali is not strong, but labors as he has opportunity, and is respected by foreigners and natives. At Xamarik, Matthew, the Marshall Island teacher, was ordained deacon with power to marry. The people very much need pastoral care. 12 persons were admitted to the church by baptism. This was rh former years one of the most flourishing fields in the Marshall Islands. Here Kapali and Kaelemakule labored with great acceptance to the people. There are some 60 church members on the island; several church members were suspended last year. This island needs the watchful care of a good, energetic, pious Hawaiian minister. Who will go to fill the place ? The American missionaries reside on the island of Ebon. The training school is on that island ; the school is doing a good work for the Marshall islands*. Mrs. Peace will take part in this school. The church has prospered under tbe cate of Mr. Whittle). Rumors of war however have hindered the progress of the work of the Lord. The church building here is a good one. The church members are somewhat awake. There are many things to discourage in this �62 THE FRIEND, JULY, 1877.

The work in this island is progressing rapidly. Four new churches have been formed in Mr. Sturges' field. There are now 10 independent churches with their own pastors, superintended by Mr. Sturges in that part of the island. Mr. Sturges writes : *' 1 find it pleasant work to feed these, though sometimes I must cut the slice thin to make the loaf go around." " Religious interest began during the week of prayer in January and has not wholly ceased, though 1 have so little time to follow it up: Schools at Ova continue to prosper." Mr. Logan writes : " Our year's work on Ponape as a whole has been very encouraging. School unusually well attended; scholars have made good progress.

JULY, • Amt Receipti tor Bible Fund FRIEND, strengthened our hands; and we trust we shall now return to our various posts to labor more earnestly than ever before. We have fifty-nine churches, many of them too feeble to support a pastor, and we recommend that small neighboring churches beunited, that thus their efficiency may be in- creased. We hear with wonder and joy of the glorious revivals of religion in other lands, yet alas, we are called to mourn over our own leanness. Doubtless the sin; that defile the churches have grieved the Spirit of God. A spirit of worldliness prevails, ancient idolatry has been revived in some places, drinking awa and other intoxicating drinks, im- purity in the domestic relations and great indifference to religion. A more vigorous exercise of discipline must be exercised ere we can expect a blessing. When we heartily join in endeavors to purify the churches, we may hope the windows of heaven will be opened in answer to our prayer, '• Oh Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known ; in wrath remember mercy." BENEVOLENT CONTRIBUTIONS. [For these see Treasurer's report and statistical table.] SABBATH SCHOOLS Are kept up in most of the churches; in some with untiring zeal, but in many the same lukewartnness that is taking away the life of the churches, is withering the Sabbath school. The command of our Lord, " Feed my lambs," should lead pastors to devote more earnest care to these and not leave them entirely to the superintendent and teachers. Sit Moon, the Chinese colporteur, has a very interesting Sabbath school of Chinamen in Honolulu. BOARDING SCHOOLS. The feeble health of Rev. S. E.

Mrs. Lucy G. Thurston, the Inst of the pioneers, has gone, Mrs. Sarah L. W. Hall, Rev. B. W. Parker and Rev. C. B. Andrews. The gray locks of the few missionary fathers that remain, admonish us that we carrhot expect to have them abide long with us. We hailed with joy the arrival of Dr. C. M.
