Though so many, many and ridicule of the Formalist portion of the years have come between that past and our Church.

The soul was slowly is a city of great names and memories. As : ! an educational centre, especially in the department of Theology, it has offered rare privileges to a great throng of students, not alone from various parts of Germany, but from other European countries, and from America. Its University, while still enjoying sn excellent reputation,has been eclipsed, now, by the great Universities of Leipsig and Berlin. Still, Halle, if for no other reason than its past, cannot fall to attract many students. Later on in the winter I may send you a little sketch of this city, so picturesquely and beautifully situated on the peacefully flowing river Saale and mention some of those names which have united to give this University so important a position. For quiet, student life, the town seems almost ideally attractive, and is full of a charm which those great and busy cities, where some of the German Universities are situated, can never offer. But now it is my object to speak of the Halle of well-nigh two hundred years ago. When Francke first came here to enter actively upon those charges which had been entrusted to him, the University had been opened but a short time, and he entered with earnestness upon his professional duties. But he was not less zealous in his duties as pastor. In our day, though our charities are far from being as extensive and well managed as they should be, yet they are so far in advance of those of that remote day, that it is almost impossible for us to conceive of the poverty and destitution which this young pastor was forced to see in his parish. His great, noble heart was kindled with zeal to do what he could for the oppressed and poverty-stricken and forsaken members of his flock. He gathered the children from the street about him, instructed them, and gave them such assistance as he was able. But his own limited means allowed him to do but little. He turned in this way ana that. He endeavored, through soliciting contributions, to gain some assistance. He wrote and published, and the profit frOm the sale of his writings he consecrated to the poor. In his house he placed a little contribution box, >n the hope that through this some aid might come. And help was nearer than he thought. One day a lady placed there a small sum, only a few thaiers, but small as it was, it was destined to produce mighty results. Francke welcomed it as a token of promise, and on the very same day began, definitely, those labors on behalf of children which, after a lapse of two centuries, are continued with such beneficial results. What lessons are contained in the little things of life! The '• Widow's Mite," was, and is, deemed worthy of the Master's Blessing. The glory, the beauty, the power, of human effort lies in these little beginnings. Every life bears within it the seeds of tbe grandest achievement and noblest heroism ! What encouragement and incitement there is for each one, no matter how humble the stand, how limited the resources, to grand and glorious faith and deeds, which shall bear blessed fruit for time and eternity! On this small capital, then, Francke began his work. At first the outlay called only for a few books, and a teacher, engaged for a short time. But this was something. Soon another little contribution box found a place in the pastor's house, and as the young pas- �tor's heart grew great with hope, and longing, and tender desire, his prayers became an earnest cry for help. Like the early drops of a shower, which is later to abundantly bless the earth, little offerings began to come from one side and another. An interest was awakened in-the city of Halle, and in different parts of the country. The school for poor children steadily increased. Then one by one those children who had no parents or friends to care for them, found in Francke, as it were, an earthly father sent by their Heavenly Protector to watch over them ; these were given a home, and food, uud clothing. Then a school for children of wealthier parents was opened. The progress of Faith never ceased. We, who see the results in this later day, read of the mighty operations which date from that distant time, admire the splendid buildings which have been reared, one after another, forget the first steps which led up to all this. What times of discouragement- and of difficulty this brave worker must have had! On one side he was occupied with the duties of his University Professorship; on another with his labors as a pastor of a poor and needy parish. Then his enemies and persecutors gave him no rest, and his pen must be kept busy to defend himself or his faith against false charges which were brought against them. And then there were growing up as answer to his prayers and effort, various schools and organizations, which called for constant and discriminating attention. A general commanding a mighty army in the midst of some fierce engagement, is an impressive figure ; lifted for the time to an heroic and almost superhuman height! How infinitely more so is such a leader, who is at the same time a herald of peace I Towards Easter of the year 1695, he began his first slight efforts. In 169S the corner-stone of an Orphan Asylum was laid! There were those who laughingly and sneeringly predicted thai it would never be completed. They lived to see how little worth their prophecies had. Others came to help. The rich and poor gave out of their abundanceand their poverty. Francke, not contented with gathering the orphans about him,remembered also the poor who were in need of proper food. Hundreds were the recipients of this bounty. Sometimes there was seemingly no possible means of carrying on the various efforts for good. At times those in charge came to tell him that there was no money left to supply the wants of so many hundreds for the ensuing day. But the faith which had been kindled at the beginning into such a fervent glow, still burned brightly in Francke's heart. At the most unexpected moments,from known and unknown sources, help came in one form or another. At length the main building for the orphan asylum was completed, and its founder placed over the entrance :— 1881. 19 THK tRIa.NI), MARCH, structed, by 108 teachers, under the super- did"not yield to fear of Pope and Emperor. intendence of Francke.

He died in 1727, at the age of 64, and is buried in the old cemetery of Halle. His son followed him as superintendent. Since then this noble work has been carried on most efficiently, and to-day remains as a splendid monument to the faithful worker, who has now entered upon his heavenly re.yard. Thousands of orphans have in the Asylum found a home, Christian love, and careful training, and have gone forth to be a blessing to the land. Thousands of other children have received here their education, and have grown up to be useful men and women in all ranks of society. From this centre, millions of bibles have issued for Germany. Here missionaries and teachers of the world, in far distant lands, have received their training. Here the poor and hungry have found food ; the widow a home and protection. No one should visit Halle and not pay a visit to these various schools and institutions, and they are worth coming from far to see. The buildings form an immense complex, a village in themselves, surrounded by extensive gardens and grounds for recreation and exercise. You scarcely can repress an exclamation of astonishment at seeing what has been here accomplished in an exterior and material way, and this is only the envelope of that spiritual life which is still so active here.

IBSI. DOES HOT OUR POSTAL SYSTEM NEED REFORM? If 814 letters " Short-paid." were forwarded from tbe New York Postoffice to the Hawaiian Islands, during 1880, does not this fact indicate the need of reform ? Probably as many more Were forwarded by Mr. Dougherty, of the San Francisco Postoffice. When is this state of things to be remedied ? If Mr. Hopper, at New York, and Mr. Dougherty, at San Francisco, were to cease their philanthropic labors,we should be in sad case of bewilderment. Some of our people so far appreciate the efforts of these gentlemen,that they have sent forward handsome testimonials ; but slas, it appears from the report of Mr. Hopper, in New York; only 65 replies were received for 814 letters forwarded ! This is rather a poor • showing ! From our local papers, we learn that Government officials and Foreign Representatives are sadly mourning over the loss of their letters. We would suggest that search be made in the " Dead Letter Box," in Washington. Now, we nut in tain, that the adoption of the "International Postal Union" would effectually remedy this deplorable state of irregularity in our present postal system, it required twenty years of earnest effort on the part of a few citizens, to bring about and secure the Reciprocity Treaty, but we hope our present postal system will not be suffered to exist for that period, before we shall enjoy the benefits of the Postal Union treaty. George F. Hopper, Esq., connected with the New York Postoffice, having a brother residing in Honolulu, naturally feeling an interest in our Island community, has, for years, volunteered to forward " Short-paid letters, passing through that office. It is a noble and generous act on his part. So far, so good. But is this the method to be pursued in an affair of this nature? We do not notice any effort on the part of the Hawaiian Government, or the Postmaster Genoral, to remedy this sad state of affairs, This is a subject demanding immediate action, and thorough reform. We are somewhat surprised at the apathy on this subject of our three weekly papers, devoted to the business, commerce, and welfare of the Hawaiian Kingdom. In all civilised countries, except the Sandwich Islands, it is accounted among the first elements of civilization, to enjoy a good postal system. While nearly every ether country on our globe is now " within the " Postal Union," our little " pinhead " Kingdom thinks best to stand outside. 18 81/ Mr. Hopper has kindly furnished the fol owing that he was born in Scotland, and of course valuable statistics, relating to the entitled to speak with author.ty upon matletters, at the New York ters of intellectual philosophy.

America Receives the Lion's Share, Under the Reciprocity Treaty.—This is a view which we have often asserted, but now figures prove it, to any one who will carefully peruse tbe Custom House Report, as recently published. We should suppose that the moat captious critic of the treaty would be satisfied with its working in favor of the United States. If its renewal and continuance at Washington, depend upon securing the Island trade, arid the development of the resourcea of the •' Pacific Slope," there can be no doubt about it. A Scotchman's and a Chinaman's Brain, Compared.—lt is an interesting subject of study, to note the influence of the mind upon man's physical nature ; but especially his brain. It has long been a settled point that men of great intellectual powers have been poseesssed of large brains. So well has this matter been settled as to originate the saying that to speak of a man as possessed of a large brain, was equivalent to eomplimeut him with uncommon intellectual force or power. Our attention has been called to this 'subject by reading an interesting article in the Victorian Review, published in Melbourne, in January. The article is by James Jamieson, which indicates where. Not less remarkable, though explicable in the same way, is the fact that the average weight of brain in sixteen Chinese coolies, taken by chance, was found to be greater than the European average, and even that of the Scotchman. There may be some other explanation; but the modifying influence of an ancient civilization, and though of rather a low order, must naturally suggest itself." Obituary.—The last mail brought the sad and most unexpected intelligence of the death of Mrs. Julia A. Spencer, late of Maknwao, Maui, wife of Ambrose Spencer, She died in New York Esq. city February 2nd, after an illness of only a few hours. She was spending the winter in that city, in company with her daughter. The Islands have been her home, with occasional intermissions,for thirty years, arriving here in 1851,passenger on board the " R. B. Forbes." Her christian virtues, loveliness of person nnd character, endeared her, not only to family friends, but to a wide circle of acquaintance here and in America. She was born in Carthage, New York, April 1, 1823, and married in 1842. For many years she had been a member of the Baptist Church. While tendering our warmest sympathies to fam'ly friends, we can speak of Mrs. Spencer as one of those rare, beautiful, noble and Christian ladies,whose presence make happy homes, and adorn society. Our limited community can ill afford to spare one whose character rendered her so deservedly esteemed and beloved. Mr. Moody's Meetings in San Francisco.—We rejoice to learn that the interest in these meetings is increasing, rather than abating. The general influence is most salutary, even aside from the religious bearings of the subject. We copy the following from the Pacific, of February 2nd:— In the hearing of our informant an officer of the police court said : " As long as Moody and Sankey remain, we might as well adjourn this court." Others have noted " �the check that has been given to crime, in all its grades, the last few weeks. Tbe fact is not without value in itself, but it is chiefly significant as showing how permeating, farreaching, and constraining, is the work of Gods spirit, through these men and their co-adjutors. It has gathered force, strength, breadth, depth, through the weeks. We have met with no one who thought it had culminated." Rey.W. H. Woodwell.—This clergyman and his wife arrived by the last steamer, from San Francisco. He is a graduate of Andover Seminary, and has been preaching a few years in New England. He is expecting to labor among foreigners on the -t-assss) Plantation. P. C. Jones, Esq , has been very active in securing his services. We congratulate our friends Mr. nnd Mrs. Whitney, Mr. Goodale, and others on the arrival of Mr. Woodwell, who comes highly recommended. We are glad to hear of the prosperity of the Young Men's Debating Society. In a community where the temptations are so strong to work only for greed of money, and to seek enjoyment only in sensual pleasures, it is an encouraging item that there are some ready to take up the work of cultivating their higher faculties, and to find their enjoyment in such exercises as elevate the whole nature to higher attainments and so to higher joys.

Biao, author of •• A Lntiy Lile 10 tha Rocky Mountains." "Sis Months in the Sandwich Islands,'' etc., etc. in two volumes, with map nnd illustrations. Mew York. 0. P Putnam's Sons, 1881. This is a rare and choice book of travel. There is great wisdom in the choice of the title " Unbeaten Tracks." The writer has not followed in the track of other tourists and travelers. Former experience as traveler and writer, had taught her just what was necessary for successful exploration and description. Having read with interest Miss Bird's volumes on th •• Sandwich Islands " and the " Rocky Mountains," it has been with no little desire, that we have looked forward to the appearance of these volumes. There is still another reason why we have been somewhat anxiously awaiting the publication of these volumes, for s-oine months ago, it was our privilege to be a guest with the author in one of the cultured homes of Scotland, in they cinity of Edinburgh, when she kindly allowed us to read some proof-sheet pages ofthe English edition of these volumes. We then partook of the first fruits of the rich harvest, which wns in store for the multitude ofreaders now perusing these goodly volumes on both sides of the Atlantic, which Murray in London, and Putnam's Sons in New York, have issued in such becoming and commendatory style, it is pleasant for the eye to rest on the fair and handsomely printed p.iges of Putnam's edition now lying on our table. Miss Bird's former books of travel, to which we have alluded, gave her position and reputation as a bold and daring traveler, possessed of rare descriptive ability. We feel quite confident that these volumes will more than sustain that reputation. Of some writers it has been said, that in their first publication, they strike " 12," but ever after are striking the smull hours. This surely cannot be asserted of Miss Bird. Kr.owing from her Hawaiian and Kocky Mountain experiences, some of the difficulties awaiting her in the unexplored regions of Japan, it must have required considerable nerve, in her feeble health to have projected her Japanese tour. Already had she circumnavigated the globe, by way of Australia, and now she must again leave the luxury and refinement of English society and home, to re-cross the broad Atlantic and • - - broader Pacific, and forsaking the " beaten track'0 travel alone for weeks and months among the people of Japan. In these volumes she tells her story of adventures, inconvenience, hardship and pleasure. On Hawaii and the Rocky Mountains, she had acquired reputation as a bold and fearless rider, performing feats of horsemanship which some regard as incredible, but in Japan, ere iter journey is half completed, she writes thus : " I have now ridden or sat upon 76 horses, all horrible." vol. 1., page 322. Sometimes this delicate-lady would walk for many miles over the roughest and muddiest roads, cross rapid streams in leaking ferry-boats, ascend dangerous rivers, force 1881. her way over rugged mountain-passes with only a native guide, explore volcanic regions ns difficult ot access as any on Hawaii, and live among the " hairy Amos," as she did in the grass houses of Hawaiians. The chapters in these volumes on the char.cter, history and condition of the " Amos of Veso, open up a new phase of the human race. The " Amos tire the original inhabitants of Japan, but as unlike the Japanese, as the North American Indians are unlike the Anglo Saxons. Our narrow limits prevent us from copying many pages beautifully descriptive of Japanese manners and customs, mountain scenery and scientific exploration. Miss Bird is s Botanist of in irked ability. It is however to her descriptions of the state, condition nnd prospects of the Jap-nese people, that we have been particularly drawn. While she is not an enthusiast upon the success of Missions among the Islands, yet she writes with great candor and fairness fully appreciating what has already been accomplished among a people whose old religion »nd superstitions are waning, and where the christian element is becoming prominent. She often alludes to the fact that foreign influences of an injurious nature are gaining ground among that people. She was fortunate in securing the services of an intelligent Japanese very anxious tn acquire the English language, in which he had made already good progress, but some of his efforts were quite ludicirous. Miss B,rd thus writes on page 320, vol. I. A few days ago, I remarked, ' What a "beautiful day this is !' and soon after, notebook in hand, he said, you say ' a beautiful day.' Is that better English than ' a devilish fine day as most foreigners say ?" Again, •' when you ask a question, you never say ' what the d—l is it f as other foreigners do. Is it proper for men to say it and not for women ? If he wishes to tell me that he has seen a very tipsy man, he always says he has seen 'a fellow as drunk as an Englishman.' " Our limits remind us that we must stop, but on almost every page we find something we would gladly transfer to our pages. Our readers must resort to Thrum's book-store and buy these interesting volumes if they would enjoy what we have done and hope to do again. We really feel that the reading public are under an immense debt of gratitude to Miss Bird, for while other writers have followed the " beaten path and visited Consular and open ports, she has thrown herself among the 34,000,000 of Japan, and told us just what she saw and what we are glad to learn. " " ' '' " dington, of the United States whaler George Henry. She was purchased, fitted out. and sent to England as a gift to her Majesty Queen Victoria, by the President and people of the United States, as a token of good will and friendship. This table was made from her timbers when she was broken up, and is presented by the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland to the President of the United States as a memorial of the courtesy and loving kindness which dictated the offer of the gift of the Resolute." Temperance in England.—The people of Leeds, England, are to be congratulated upon having for their chief magistrate a total abstainer, Mayor Tatham a member of the Society of Friends, who neither uses wine himself or provides it for his or the city's guests. At a recent opening of a workingmen's tempcrence hall at Shipley, Mayor Tatham said: "Temperence was the root of all social advancement, while its opposite led to sickness, distress and ruin. If it was only possible to obtain a nation of total abstainers there \v6uld be no pauperism, no crime and no lunacy, but comfort and abundance " He had " invited the council to dine with him without the usual accompaniment of intoxicating liquors," and again he had repeated the experiment, and with very satisfactory results, when it fell to his duty to give an assize dinner, at which were judges, leading members of the bar, etc., and he added : •' Even if Her Majesty visited Leeds she might well be entertainei on the same principal; at least she woult be if she visited the hall during the time that it was his official home. He had no wine in his house for forty years, and he made no exception in the mayor's parlor at the town hall." Yorl£ LIFE INSURANCE CO. Thirty-fourth Annual Report!
