Its walls are ol poles about the size of one's wrist; the roof is of thatch ; the floor, doors nnd windows were imported. It is supplied with wall maps and globe. The view from this is vastly different from the first. Upon the one side lies the mighty deep, with its ever restless waves dashing upon the reef, breaking in beautiful foimy spray with constant music. Upon the oiher, rises the mountains, thickly woodpd to their summits. In a cluster stand two neat board houses for the missionaries and eight or ten native houses for the pupils Not less difference do we find when we look withio ; seated upon benches, or the floor, are thirty or more, dart-skinned children of the tropics.

Strong's Island, or Kusaie. An American Missionary in New Zealand. A very pleasant meeting was held at the Congregational Church Beiesfort st., Auckland. N. Z , on the evening of January 27th. The objects of the meeting were of a varied and 'inusual character, viz : to welcome the pastor, Key. J Kobenson M. A., and his wife on their return from their summer holidy in Australia ; to welcome Rev. J. T. W. Davies M. A., the former pastor, who, after an absence of five years, was visiting his friends in the scene of his earlier labors; and to say " good bye " to Rev. R W. Logan and Mrs. Logan of the A. B. C. F. M., who hod been ordered away from Micronesia FRI X M» . MARCH, 1882. on account of Mr. Logan's very serious illness, and who had been spending a few months in Auckland, where they had made many friends, and where Mr. Logan"s health had been to a very great extent restored. Tea was served in the Hall adjoining the Church, and a large number partook of the good things provided. After tea an adjournment was made to the Church, where a very pleasant evening was spent. Capt. Dilley, the Senior Deacon, took the chair, until he had given, in the Church's name, a very hearty welcome to the pastor and his wife, when he resigned it to Mr. Robertson. A cordial welcome was then given to Mr. Davies, who delivered a short address. Mr. Robertson then said, that a few months ago some strangers had arrived in Auckland seeking health, who were no strangers now. vlr. and Mrs. Logan had been only a short time amongst them, but they had been long eno"gh to cause them to think of them with esteem and appreciation, and though they knew the visit was only to be short and were glad Mr. Logan's health was so far restored as to permit him to start for his home in America, yet they felt sorry to be called upon to say good bye, They did so, however, praying Uod's guidance and blessing for them, a safe passage and a happy meeting with friends at home. Several friends spoke very cordially of Mr. Logan and his work, and expressed gladness at having had the pleasure of knowing him and Mrs. Logan. The address which met with the most enthusiastic reception was that of Mr. Firth, who thought friendly greetings should be conveyed by Mr. Login to the great Ameri can people. He trusted the two English speaking nations would always be knit together in love, and that the friendly feelings existing between them would deepen and widen until at last, all prejudice being broken down, they would be true comrades and brothers in every good work. Mr. Logan who was warmly received said, a few weeks ago he would have stood on that platform feeling an alien Now he felt as one of them. He had come to know and to love them. He desired to thank them for their kindness tn him and his, during his stay amongst them, and prayed that God would reward them for it. Before Mr. Logan w>s died on to speak, the pastor said he thought it would be in accord with the feeling of the meeting if some such resolution as the following were presented. He therefore read it, and asked them to expess their opinion by vote, when the resolution was unanimously carried. Resolved, That this Church nnd Congregation desires, prayerfully nnd affectionately to commend to the loving care of our Heavenly Father, our friends Key A. W. Log>n and Mrs. Logan and their children. While expressing great sympathy with them on account of Mr.Logan's illness, which seemed to drive them to these shores, we are glad that this has been overruled by God so as to give us the pleasure of knowing them, and we heartily rejoice that Mr. Logan's health We pray is so much better for the change. that a safe passage may be granted them to their home in America, that perfect health may be restored and that a long life of usefulness may be in store for them. •' This Church also desires to convey 27 THE through Mr. Logan its cordial greeting to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and to say that, while we sympathise with them on account of the interruption to Mr. Logan's work in Microneaia, we are glad to have had the opportunity of knowing him and Mrs. Logan, and that we have been very pleased to hear through him some account of the work the Board is doing for Christ in foreign lands. We pray that God's best and richest blessings may more and more abundantly attend all the operations of the Board.'' China lost what Africa gained. In rending the Life of Livingstone, by Dr. Bluikio, of Edinburgh, published in the Seaside Library, we met with an incident worthy of special notice. It appears, that the great African Explorer, had hia attention called to foreign Missions, by reading the German Missionary GutzlafF's Appeal to the churches of Britain and America in behalf of the 400,000,000 of China! "The claims of so many millions of his fellowmen and the complaints ofthe scarcity of well qualified missionaries," so impressed the mind of young Livingstone, at the age of about 21, that he was led to devote his life to the foreign missionary field. His design was, to have gone to China, but the Opium War seemed to interpose insuperable obstacles, about the time he was prepared to go to China as a Medical Missionary. What China lost Africa gained ! GiitzlafFs Appeal was not lost, but gained for the Dark Continent the great African Explorer and Missionary : " The Life of Livingstone," to which we now refer, can be purchased for twenty cents, and the amount of useful and entertaining reading to bo purchased for that small sum is quite remarkable ! We desire to recommend to the readers of the Fhiknd, but especially toali young christians, young men and young women, the reading of the lives of the early American and English Missionaries to India, China. South Seas, Africa,—we refer to those of Henry Martyn, Samuel J. Mills, Dr. and Mrs. Judson, Williams, (the Martyr of Etromanga), Ellis, and many others. There is no more healthy and useful reading for the young and old. A fact in the life of Samuel J. Mills, corresponds, to this in tr\e lile of Livingstone. Milln designed coming to the Hawaiian Islands, in 1816, with Obokiah, but the A. B. 0. F. M. delaying to send them out, lie turned his attention to Africa and went thither, in company with the Rev. Mr. Burgess. They selected iv 1818, the land for planting a colony of Freedmen on the western coast which eventually became the Republic of Liberia with its 1,500,000, inhabitants. �28 TII I!

U.: 4 Intemperance has become an evil of such v*st magnitude, throughout the world, that all the friends of humanity should unite to overcome it If one does not realize the necessity for action, after what he sees going on in the street, and saloons, let him consult re'iab'e statistics of different countries, and learn the enormous amount of wine, beer, anddisti led liquors manufactured and drank. If that is not sufficient let him visit the homes of drinking men. In most cases he will find neglect, poverty and suffering. In some, even, he will find the disheartened wile has learned to drown her sorrow in the inebriating cup. Let him observe the children of such families and think of their future ! As this habit pervades all classes of society he will not always find poverty, but he will find anxiety and distfess in every home, where any member of it is controlled by an appet te for strong drink " ■ The Committee on building is now ready 'to act, the Charter having been granted by His Majesty in Privy Council on the 4ih of Feb. ISS2. They request that, those who have subscribed to the fund, should pay in one-half of the amount without delay. It has often been asked, why ell them Young Men's Christian Associations, when they are often constituted of all classes, old and young ma c and female. The Association does not derive its name from those who constitute its working lorce, but rther from the objects of'ts search. As ■< graincutter is not called a gr..in-cutter be:;.use it is ninde of grain, hut because it is made to cut grain, so this organicit ion is cal'ed the Young Men's Christian Association because it is formed to benefit mid s ye youno men, ••the most import.nit, the most tempted, the most neglected and neglectful and the least cared for nnd guarded class of our population." This is so because of the positions they fill, the influences by which they are surrounded, and because of the neglect which they receive at ihe h nd? of the home, the Church and tne State. The object is a most worthy one ; for '■ save these, and your homes are saved, save these and your commerce is sanctified, save these, and your churches are strong, active and intelligent; i save these, and every work of mercy gains new power and extension; and the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our ; ' , Lord Chiist." Robk'it VVf.idensall. The Newark (N.
