They have also passed stringent prohibitory laws, making illegal all traffic in intoxicating liquor. The sanctity of the Sabbath is also enforced by imposing heavy fines for games or labor on that day. All friends of the Hawaiian people will rejoice at the action of the Legis- lature in putting an end to the attempt to overthrow the present prohibitory liquor law. It is to be hoped that tbe prohibition will be extended to the Chinese, and to other Polynesian races. The recent spread of habits ofintemperance and the notoriously abundant sale of liquor, have given just cause of alarm to all true friends of this Hawaiian people. The attempt to license the sale of opium is another of the persistent efforts so often made in these islands to break down the barriers of social order. The plantation managers cannot afford to let their Chinese laborers be ruined by the free use of opium. Though there are fewer foreign members of the Legislature than in previous years, the native members have thus far acquitted themselves admirably in the difficult task of legislating for a community of such varied and almost discordant interests as in this Hawaiian Kingdom. The reports presented by the Ministry have given full and satisfactory account of the administration of affairs for the last biennial period. There are many difficult questions of public Interest for the right decision of which the Ministry is held responsible. No question is of more vital importance to the business interests of the community than the introduction of cheap labor.

I am the more inclined to hope this, because our rambling steps lead us this time to lands so dear to us as the " Old Home," so precious by reason of a thousand historic, poetic and national associations, so consecrated by grand and stirring memories of the past, that it seems we are but fulfilling a filial duty in visiting it at last. I have felt peculiarly within the past few days, as one who, after a long absence, hears once more the welcome of home, and sees about him the dear old familiar scenes which have grown strangely dim with distance. I find it difficult to divest myself of the idea that in some far off past, 1 once existed here, and then had wandered into remote and distant lands. 1 fancy it is the generations of old English ancestors speaking to, or in roe—the response of my inner soul to the land, the sky, the flowers they know and loved— the music of our native tongue swelling up in its sweetness and purity from its original I feel the touch, the embrace, the springs. steward of the Queen's Hospital.

It would however have been far less impressive and complete had not Gladstone, one of the greatest men of our own or any age, led the attack. At the ripe age of seventy, with a past record so meritorious and complete, that it would have seemed sufficient to exempt him from further effort, he stepped forward to the front, with sling in hand, like some new David, in the first flush of youth. Day after day he has penned forth a volume of speech which has amazed his enemies and delighted his friends. His recent oratorical efforts in Scotland Bre, perhaps, for sustained force and endurance, without parallel in history. A recent writer in reference to the Liberal victory, says, using a Homeric illustration, which none could better appreciate than Mr. Gladstone himself. " It is Mr. Gladstone's voice which has roused the country, and Mr. Gladstone's conviction which has carried it. Like Achilles when he left his tent, his mere cry scared the victors as they then thought themselves, in the full heat of their assault. Like Achilles when he entered the battle, everything has gone down before him, or rather everything has seemed to ally itself with him and his cause." It is then no exaggeration to style him the '• Hero of the Day." It has been a source of no little satisfaction and pleasure to us. that we have been privileged to see Mr. Gladstone, at the moment of acknowledged victory, under the most agreeable circumstances. Inspiring as heroes may be as described in rhetoric verse, or perpetuated in sculptured marble, a real hero gains, rather than loses, breathing, living, acting before you. Leaving now the bare recital of political affairs, let me give briefly the record of a charming afternoon's excursion, which brought us, to our great surprise and delight, face to face with the first and foremost man of England at the present time. We learn, ed with pleasure from the kind host and hostess, whose thoughtful attentions and graceful courtesy, are fillrng our days, just at present with so much that it is now delightful experience, and will be ever dear and precious in the remembering that Hawarden Castle, the home of Gladstone and his family, lay only a few miles away, and that an excursion thither was planned for us. This was quite enough to set our ■liberal" hearts beating with eager anticipation. At least we were to see the Castle that held the Chieftain, who ruled the land. But fate, which is oftentimes more loving than our fears, had something better still in store for us. Yesterday we drove over the Welsh hills, to Hawarden, with the sweet, fresh air of the spring in our faces and a quiet gray sky over our heads. Our way lay through a splendid stretch of country, with hills on every side, softly veiled in mist. Here and there we saw churches whose towers rose out of the peacelul landscape, guardian like, as if indeed they were watching over the hamlets, nestling beneath them with a certain quaint tenderness of their own. At last emerging from the forest we caught glimpses of a little village perched upon a. hill, and then the Castle gates, �mantled with ivy, appeared, and before we knew it our horses stood before them. We thought it must have been our good fortune to have come just in time for a Welsh wedding, for the main street of the village was gay with flags and mottoes, and garlands of green. Little knots of the villagers stood together busily talking and waiting. But our joy was soon still more increased on hearing that we had arrived at the moment, not of wedding, charming as that would have been, but to see the " welcome home" of a successful Liberal candidate, and he a son of Mr. Gladstone. I scarcely think in all our English visit anything more uniquely interesting than this afternoon's celebration. It may be very probable that we shall hear Mr. Gladstone, at some great distance, speaking eloquently enough on some important measure, but here we had the pleasure of standing side by side with him, speaking with him, seeing him in the midst of his people and family, with radiant face welcoming home his son, who is following so worthily in his father's footsteps. With a little waiting the throng grew larger. Then Mr. Gladstone, with his wife, appeared among the people, and soon up the village street came the band, filling the quiet afternoon air with a burst of patriotic and martial music, and following this, a larger crowd of country folk, with laughter and shouts and cheers. The horses had been taken out and the men were pulling the carriage, where with traveling trunk before them, young Mr. Henry Gladstone, fresh from his successful election in East Worcestershire, and his young wife, were enthroned for the time as on a triumphal car. I wish I could paint, even approximately for you, the scene. As a bit of old England, it was unsurpassed. In the centre stood the young politician, raised in his carnage, above the heads of the crowd, thanking the villagers and his family for their kind welcome; beside him his wife, a daughter of Lord Blantyr, who, with wifely and womanly zeal had accompanied him through all his electioneering efforts. Amid the crowd, shoulder to shoulder with the men and women of the village, stood the great Mr. Gladstoneand his wife, he, with his head uncovered, calm, dignified, elegant in his manner, she, with her face beaming with joyful feeling and beautiful with her motherly interest, a noble pair, I thought. About us was the people, now silent, earnest, attentive, now breaking out into cheers and cries of approbation and jubilant laughter at some happy turn in the speech. There were strong, vigorous faces in the throng. At our side I noticed a sooty and grimed miner from a neighboring colliery, at the foot of the hill, with his safety lamp still on, standing near an antique carved stone fountain. There were rosy cheeked matrons and maids, and white bearded men. Faces looked out from upper windows, overhanging the street. It was a characteristic, odd little company. Yellow cockades ornamented some of tbe caps, yellow flags waved in the air, and bright primroses and daffodils gave a jaunty dash to many a button-hole, and over all hung the grey, soft curtain of the April sky, and the wind stole softly through the neighboring forests, brightening beneath the touch of the coming summer.

We overheard a conversation the other day in which the old delusion came out, as fresh as ever: all, it don't " After matter what a roan believes if he only does right." We passed on our way, wondering if the speaker would be willing to apply his principle to anything except religion. Does it make no difference in a man's business operations whether he believes in honesty or knavery ? And shall it be said that it makes no difference in a man's character and destiny whether he believes in virtue, goodness and righteousness ? Does it have no bearing on a man's daily life to believe he shall reap what he sows ? Is there no —B. ¥ T. inspiration to right doing in a firm belief in a holy, just and merciful God ?

Since our last we have made a rapid run through New England and returned yesterday, April Ist, to New York, to make our preparations for sailing to-morrow for Liverpool per City of Berlin, Inman Line. ,We found the weather of March fearfully cold and while in New England we experiencet a snow storm, covering the ground to the depth of six inches. When in Holden, our native town, we had several sleigh rides thus reminding us of the olden times' " when a youth we enjoyed all that was to be derived from the pleasures of winter and the merry music of the bells. There is a charm about New England which natives of this region experience, whether they visit it in summer or winter, spring or autumn, During our brief sojourn in Boston we met many of our old Island friends who have returned to Boston? among them Capt Brewer, Dr. Wood, Mr. Austin, W. T. Brigham, Esq., and others. It was our privilege to dine with General Armstrong st Mr. Austin's. We were glad to learn that he contemplates a visit to tbe Islands the coming summer, where we feel fully confident he will receive a most cordial welcome. He is a most loyal Hawaiian, and does not ignore the fact that a youthful training on Hawaiian soil and his connection with the Hawaiian Board of Education, contributed in no small degree to fit him for his present position of eminent usefulness. He is full of philosophy about races, including the Hawaiian, Chinese, Negro as well as AngloSaxon. We are rejoiced to learn that there are some live men who have been born at the Hawaiian Islands. During our first visit to New York we enjoyed the privilege of hearing a lecture delivered at the Hall of the Y. M. C. A., before the students of the Union Theological Seminary, by the Rev. R."S. Storrs, D. D.„ of Brooklyn. It was the first of a series on the " Evidences of Christianity," on what is styled the Ely-Lectureship. It was a most able and interesting lecture delivered in a peculiarly graceful style. Dr. Storrs is considered as among America's ablest and most eloquent pulpit orators. We remember him as a student at Amherst nearly fifty years ago, and it is pleasant to witness that, with increase of years.there has beenacquired a maturity of views and opinions, which place him among the very foremost of the clerical profession. Among those upon the platform we noticed the venerableDr. Adams, Prof. Schaff, Dr. Prime of the Observer, and other distinguished men. It was during our visit to New England that Easter Sundsy occurred. It is quite noticeable how general that day is now ob- �46 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1880. served in many of the Congregational dropped the name of' Whisky Bill' right and forever."

" And so you left your motherless children could not induce Christ to go into the theatre with me when I was earning bread for my wife and little ones, you cannot do it if you go for pleasure, and pay fifty cents for your seat."

REV. J. H. BROOKES. 7.50. First, it was a personal salvation. " Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not another's faith, but her own. Second, it was salvation by believing. "Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not her faith and repentance, nor her faith and love, nor her faith snd good resolutions, but her faith alone. Third, it was a present salvation. " Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not that Peter and James and John were saved, but she herself, a little while before an outcast sinner, was saved. Sixth, it was an active salvation. " Thy faith hath saved thee ; go." It was not that she was to sit down after that eventful interview in idle self-indulgence, but she was to be engaged always in the Master's service. Seventh, it was a peaceful salvation. "IfThy faith hath saved thee ; go in peace." ever her peace was disturbed for a moment, it would come back again when she remembered the unfailing word of her faithful Lord. " Being justified by faith, we have pence with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Rom. v. i.)—The Watchman. There is a judge in the city of Hudson, U. S., who both fears God and regards man. In sentencing to death a criminal found guilty of the murder of his wife, Judge Osborn concluded with these words of remonstration, rebuke, and Gospel invitation, to the murderer:— We have been pained and grieved to hear that your previous character has been bad, that you have not lived such a life as you should, to command the respect of those who reside in the same community, or in the community adjoining that of yourresidence. We have been grieved also to witnes-s the indifference which you have displayed during the progress of this trial—the indifference which seems to have been manifested by you from the hour of the commission of this crime down to the present time. I trust that from this time you will give up this indifference. Attempt now to soften your heart. Listen to the appeals that may be made to your conscience by the Christian men and women of this city, who, I have no doubt, will be glad to visit you, will be glad to do all in their power to bring you to a better state of mind. The law. more merciful to you than you to your victim, gives you ample time for repentance. Bear in mind that there is a fulness and freeness in the salvation which Christ purchased for us, and it is ample and sufficient to meet your case. You will remember that the Saviour, while suffering the most terrible agony on the cross, prayed to HisFather in heaven that He might forgive His murderers, for they knew not what they did " Then you may hope for pardon if you heartily repeot and seek for- " giveness. in the Other Country.—A distinguished man lay on his death-bed, when a great mark of distinction and honour was brought to him. Turning a cold glance on the treasure he would once have clutched with an eager grasp, he said, with a sigh, ''Alas! this is a fine thing in this country, her faith might save, or shall hereafter save, but I am going to a country where it will be but it had already saved, the moment she of no use to me." No Use believed. Fourth, it was a perfect salvation. Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not that her faith had helped her, or started her on the road to glory, but it had completely saved her from the curse and consequences of sin. Fifth, it was an assuring salvation. Thy faith had saved thee." It was not only that " " We must not hope to be mowers And to gather theripe gold eara, Until we have firstbeen sowers, And watered the furrowswith tears.

We have read with great interest, the report of the Judiciary Committee to (he Legislature, on the restriction against the use of spirituous liquors by native Hawaiians, and heartily endorse the sentiments therein expressed. In his report, Mr. Gibson states that the Hawaiian Government is not bound by any treaty relations which would prevent its Legislative Assembly from imposing restrictions by law in respect to the use of intoxicating liquors upon persons of any nationalities, even upon those with whom our Government has treaty relations, if deemed advisable to do so for public welfare. We sincerely hope that a law will be passed, during the present Legislature, that will prevent the sale of all intoxicating liquors to .every Chinaman on these islands. The community is not, and the Legislature cannot Be ignorant of the great evil that is being done by the sale ofliquar to the Chinese. From Hawaii to Kauai, case after case is shipped to them every week. In many places they sell it openly to any one who wants it, and the natives can get all they desire, without any difficulty. Drunkenness is seen daily, and is on the increase. The community is looking to the Legislature, and expect that it will pass a law that will meet and remedy this evil. The fair of the Library and Reading Room Association, took place at their rooms, May 20, 21, 1880, and was a complete success, in every particular, far exceeding the expectations of the most sanguine. For nearly three months, the nimble lingers and busy heads of the ladies, who had the matter in charge, were devising, preparing and perfecting arrangements for its successful accomplishment. Too much praise cannot be lavished upon them for what they have done. The net proceeds will amount to a little over 92,400. This will enable the Association to pay off its present indebtedness, and leave a large balance on hand, to purchase books, fkc, from time to time, as shall be deemed necessary, for the further progress and advancement of the Association. We feel that the successful results of the fair have been a public recognition by the community, of the necessity and usefulness of the Association to our city, and their wish that it may continue to grow and prosper, year by year. It may be a matter of interest for the ladies of our city to know, that they can become Members of the Library and Reading Room Association, as well as their gentlemen friends. The dues are placed at the moderate sum of fifty cents a month, entrance fee, $1.00. We already have five lady members on our list, and we hope to have many more in the future. Electric Light on Shipboard.—The Inman steamer City of Berlin, which arrived at New York, recently from Europe, was lighted during the voyage by electricity. Four lights were placed in the saloon and two in the steerage, each having a light of 400 standard candles, the apparatus being driven by a small four-horse power engine. The experiment proved such a success that the delighted passengers presented an address of thanks to the Inman Company, through Capt. Kennedy, commander of the vessel. President Seelye, of Amherst College, not frightened by the spectres which some Christians conjure out of the speculations of modern scientists. He says in a recent letter to a former pupil: " Remember that evolution, without a previous involution, is impossible; and to derive reason from unreason is absurd." This is another way of putting the old proverb, " You cannot get more out of a bottle than was put into it." is We had a Rouse-ing sermon from pastor, last Sunday evening. our Makawao Golden Rule.—When Christianity gives as warm a hand, as pleasant a face, and makes its place of worship as inviting as theatres, billiard halls and liquor saloons, there will be less poverty and crime charged to ruin, and more credit due religion. 48 AsYCMochoiearutnnH'gf onolulu. The P. C. Advertiser of the 29th ult., informs us that a bill to license the sale of opium to Chinese in the Kingdom, is under discussion before the Legislature. The purport of the bill as explained by the P. C. Advertiser is certainly a very weak one, and we hope tbat our Legislators will be wise enough not to pass such an act. The present law on our statute books is a good one, and the P. C. Advertiser says, that according to the best testimony tbe country can produce, it is very effective in discouraging the use of opium amongst the natives at least. Certainly this is reason enough why the present law should not be repealed. The Chinese will get opium any how, by hook or by crook, our duty is to try as far as lies in our power to prevent its reaching the natives. Let the present law stand. We are glad to welcome to Honolulu Mr. James A. Martin, who arrived by the last trip of the Discovery. He comes highly recommended by many pastors and teachers in New York City, and Brooklyn, as an earnest Christian worker. He has been engaged in Sunday School work for 27 years in the latter city. He made an interesting address to the Kaumakapili Sabbath School, Sunday morning, May 23d, and at Maemae Sunday School in the afternoon of the same day. He is desirous of obtaining employment here, and Is anxious and eager to take hold, and assist us in our Sunday School work here, as soon as a permanent situation has been secured. We understand that a petition has been presented by the Ladies Stranger's Friend Socieiy, to the Legislature, asking that a part of the hospital tax be set aside, as a fund for them to draw upon, in caring for the many indigent foreigners increasing in our community. The finances of the society have been heavily drawn upon of late, and they need assistance. Their request is a most worthy one, and we hope it will be cheerfully granted by the Assembly. We can all afford to speak a kind word now and then, to strangers in our midst. It does not cost us anything to do it, and it may cheer some despairing heart. A New Bedford paper says that the Post Office department has made a decision by which second class matter can be sent to the Hawaiian Kingdom at the domestic rates prescribed by the act of 1876. This reduces the rates on periodicals materially. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
