Bond, Esq., at of tlir Fitnrr'il of Mr*. A. IK Newell Boston, who died January ~d. ISSi?. I have been naked to say a few words on this occasion as one who knew our friend at an earlier period than most of those who have gathered here. It was my privilege to know her during her residence at Honolulu, at a time -vhich I believe she always looked back upon as one of the most interesting and one of the hippiest periods of her life. The remark has often been made that they who hive lived together at the Sandwich Islands seem to have a peculiarly strong feeling of mutual interest, something of clannishness. This is not strange. Aside from the charm of a perfect climate and the glorious mountain and ocean scenery which th y have enjoyed together/ there was something in the isolated position, especially in the early days of Mrs Newell's life at the Islands that tended to draw people together. Her first voyage to Honolulu was made on u small scaooner around the Hoin, where for weeks and months she was shut up with her husband and family. I do not know whether it was the (act in her case, but it nuv well have been, that she brought the news of her own sailing, for the Island residents were often many inontt.s without tidi gs from home. The number of intelligent right-minded men, was very small, and of women, much smaller, and they were surrounded by the mtives who were only one remove from heathenism and barbarism, and by a cla?s of white men. who were as much lower than then tives, as their much greater natural force could make them, No wonder then that that little comp .ny was closely drawn together. Our friend was a woman of positive character. She was strongly attached to that form of Christian belief which she had early accepted and in which she had grown up. When therefore a young Minisrer of her own faith had drifted »sit were out to Honolulu, she save him a hearty welcome. Ther«j were some otheres of the same wayof thinking, but th« must of the Americana about her had left their country some years before, �42 TII I when the spirit of controversy was rife, and the denominational lines were very harply drawn, and they h 'd been too much isolated from the world,and too closely occupied with practical Missionary wtwk, to review their opinions In spirit and in practice they were liberal, in doctrine they were far behind their brethren at home. For a few weeks a little company met from week to week, in a very rude •• upper chamber" of a warehouse to worship God after the manner of their lathers. It was a very pleasant season to them all, and to none more so than to our friend these meetings were brought to a sudden close by the illness ot the young Minister, her kindness pud tenderness of heart were sh >wn in her ministrations to his comfort in many ways, (bit he will never forget. Mrs Newell's sympathies were not however, confined within any denominatiooal line. There was an eminently Catholic spirit, as time went on, the marvellous growth of California and the increased facilities for trade to tin? Pacific caused an overflow of population to the Is ends. This consisted largely of the Jick »nd th destitute. Many crossed to Honolulu in the hope of recruiting powers already exhausted beyoud help, and found themselves dying in a strange land. The good Father Damon who always read his commission ns Seamen's Chaplain, to cover every case when lie could render help, found himself overwhelmed with the care of these strangers. It was then that the good women of Honolulu took up the work, and formed themselves into a " Strangers' Friend Society." Our friend was one of the founders, and the first President of this Society, and so long as she remained in the place her devotion and her tine executive talent was its main support, as can well be understood by those who have been her later neighbors. There is however, another reason why this family have wished t• recall the Island life of their loved one. To these children this is in a certain sense a double memorial service, and it has seemed to them meet that one should take part in it. who had known and held dear both Father and Mother. It is a beautiful trait of our humanity this universal desire to offer some parting tribute to our loved ones, fefore we lay away out of sight the earthly caskets which their indwelling spirits Stnctified. No religion worthy of the name has ever won any way among men, that did not recognize and provide for this craving of our hearts. Too often these services are overlaid with ceremony or with an unchrisi ian gloom, but in their inner meaning, they are very bemtiful They are at once nlmphecy and proof of our immor.tality. Who but must feel this on an such an occasion ns the present. Our faith is sometimes sorely tried, when we see the apparent eclipse of a mind tied to a worn out But here there was and decaying body nothing of this. We think of our friend as holding to the very end, all those rare qualities of heart and intellect which had charmed us in earlier years. We think of her rejoicing in the beauty and cheer of that lovely New Year's morning, and then of coming home through the evening's storm with spirits quickened by the pleasant meeting at the Church and by the contest with the elements, then of her last waking hours given to writ- — FRIK N D, APRIL, 1882. ing a letter to the far off son, and to kindly Brown dated Santa Barbara, from which we ministrations to the invalid.

We are ready to ask, has not the time fully come to build and endow a Public Library and Reading Room, on a permanent foundation ?

Some have made fortunes on the Hawaiian Islands, and left for Europe and America, who should return a portion of their wealth for the benefit of our Island community.

Alter a similar style, it is easy to notice how wealth is flowing away Irom the Hawaiian Islands, to enrich non-residents.

There could be little of general exercise at first, for nn one knew enough of English to take part, except the teachers.

I.i a~ little while the scholars began to join in the simple hymns sung, such as .lesus loves me, that 1 know." and ' There is a Happy Land." Their singing was marvelous. The Chinaman carries his principle of •• quid pro quo " into his singing. He is not going to skip or hurry along because some other singer bsi got ahead of him, but he means to g t the full benefit of all hs exertions and every word of the hymn.

Hare figures cannot give one it mental grasp of the population of China, a few illustrations aud comparisons will be given to help to form it picture of its extent, though that picture be still a hazy one. Jn China proper there are 1500 cities, surrounded by high walls and fortifications. Each of these is the scut of a Chinese sheriff or judge, end is in China whut a country town is hero.

The third class embraces those characters which Y. M. ence to the last and great command of The Watchman, organ of the C. A.of Chicago, for February, contains it long and interesting communication, from tho Rev. W. Bpeer, formerly Missionary in China :unl San Francisco. He is thoroughly acquainted with Evangelistic work among the Chinese. lie suggests that the Y. M. C. Associations are the proper channels through which to operate among the Chinese scattered abroad in the United States. The Y. M. C. A.of Honolulu has for many years—ten at least — been engaged in this important work. It has supported a Colporteur in Honolulu, with remarkable success. Mr. Sit Moon, for several years was its ageut for evangelistic work among his countrymen. The following are Dr.Speer's remarks ou i his subject " In determining the host instrumentalities for the purpose it, would uppear to be most appropriate and desirable that religious efforts in behalf of the Chinese in the Quited States should he performed through this general system of the Young Mens' Christian Associations. The reasons i'or this are important. The organisations : of the associations exist rft probably in all the cities and towns where the Chinese are establishing themselves. They can work to an extent, and with a facility, which is not practicable tv denominational boards' and societies. Their doctrinal articles embrace and specially urge those fundamental and precious truths and principles of Christianity which are most essential in instructing heathen strangers. Tl o conjoint efforts which they make relieve ] iaiticiil.ir ileiioininations*of pecuniary requirements, which in some circumstances, would become to any of thetn alone onerous. They can gather and select from every source the interested and patient teachers which art',needed in large numbers for the peculiar individual form of instruction that is given in the Chinese Sunday Schools. This kind of foreign missionary work is one which is calculated to he greatly and variously blessed in imparting spirituality and an elevuted and fervent character to the aims and operations of the general body of the Christian associations, by bringing them the risen and reigning Redeemer. It would give to an brganination which represents the common Christianity, and most of the religious bodies, of the country more power in advocating its claims upon the sympathies, prayers and support of their memberships. And, finally, the adoption and maintenance of the Chinese work in the United States as a whole by such an organization would accomplish a most important and desirable national object indefinitely arraying and pronouncing the Christian, enlightened and liberal sentiment of the nation, upon some of the great questions at issue concerning this people." The Language of China. This is monosyllabic, and each word expresses a complete idea or meaning. The gender, number, and case of words are not determined by the form of the words, but by tho addition of other words. Thus, people in Chinese is multitude : son is man-child ; daughter is woman-child. The best of nun is in Chinese a hundred wan good. The written character does not generally indicate the the word, but gives a hieroglyphic representation of the thing to he expressed. Hence, there must be as many characters as there are words to be expressed ; in all there are about 60,000. The characters are arranged in perpendicular columns, which follow one another from right to left. Chinese writing is picture writing, with the addition of a limited 11it ti i her of symbolic and conventional signs; the linger number of Chinese characters are formed by the combination of hieroglyphs and signs. "Native grammarians divide their characters into six classes. The first class comprises simply pictorial representations of sensible objects, such as the sun, moon, mountains, etc., and contains 608 characters. The second class includes such characters as arc formed by the combination of two or more simple hieroglyphs, which together convey, iv a more or less intelligible manner, some other idea ; for example, hieroglyph for sun combined with thut of moon, conveys the idea of Pght; mouth and bird, that of song, etc., of indicate certain relations of position ; as above, below, the numerals, etc.; of these there are 107. The fourth class consists of characters which, by being inverted, acquire an opposite signification ; as right, left, standing, lying, etc., and contains oil. The characters of the fifth class are termed derived characters; the meaning of the simple or compound characters used to express physical objects is transferred to menial objects, or to other physical objects with which they are associated, C i/.. the hieroglyph for a heart signifies the soul ; that for a room, signifies the wile, eta; of these there are o!*8. The characters ol the sixth class include those which are composed, as above mentioned, ofsign and sound. Almost, all names of plants, fishes, birds, nnd many oilier objects which it would he dilictilt to represent hieroglyphically, are described by the compound characters of the sixth class, which amount to li 1,810 in number. As this class, however, consists merely of repetitions <>f the other five classes, the immense number of Chinese characters may he reduced to 2,425 ; and whoever learns these may be said to know them all." There is no dialect, that is common to the whole of China, as English is common to the whole United Stales, but each of the eighteen provinces bus its own dialect, so that it is frequently very difficult to understand in one province if only the language of another province is used. The foundation of the written character is two hundred nnd fourteen root characters, which it is necessary t" learn in order to write the language. The common dialects tire not written, and the missionaries have had great trouble in translating the Scriptures into the common dialects from the want of characters.— 770 (Jotpel hi all Lands.

This Ancestral Worship is not S religii.us rite, bill only maintained out of filial i.spect and obedience to their fathers to and grandfathers who have died. Ha';hv Is it true that they carry clothes and food to th.* graves of their friends f MoTKBtt. Yes. When a man dies they believe he goes to the spirit world where he needs just such things as li" enjoyed or found necessary in this world; and so they carry food, money, and clothing to the grave, not only when he dies, but ouee every year and burn it there, believing that be will receive it through thai means They also believe, that if a man's friends neglect to supply bis wants after be is dead, mat he has the power of returning and punishing them. Hahhv. Yon said that the A iu'estra I Worship was out a part of their religion. Don't they woe hip idols ? MoTHta. Yes, ami a many of them. They have a la nous temple at Canton containing live hundred images. It is called '• The Temple of Five II indred Gods." nnd people* go there at all hours of the day to worship and present their offerings. A iv. ilo they have any other gods besides these.

Nearly every god has a temple ; and besides the great Temple of Five Hundred Gods at Canton, there is the Temple " of Heaven" at Pekin, which has altars inside, where they offer sacrifices to the memory of former emperors. Then they have at the same place a tempi,. (() (Jiiiilueins, their great propli-t. whom they worship through a tablet with his name inscribed on it, as they have no st.tiie of fii„i j„ the temple. Harkv. Does no one worship our God in China ? Menuta, Ob, yes. For many years the missionaries have been out there preaching the Gospel, and many have been converted. Some of these are now trying to teach their r»wn people and help thorn to become Christians. fIIi: N D . lAI. C 11. 18 81. Do they have any schools there ? .Mother Yes, the missionaries establish school, not only for tie' children, hut for grown people too, where they ure taught to lead and write h"-i |.', ,n my other useful branches of study and work. Habby. Didn't the children ever go to school before the missionaries went there '! MoTHEB. The boys used to go, but they diil not study geography, grammar, and arithmetic as you do; but the writings of their great prophet Confucius. The girls were seldom sent to school or taught to read at home. Any. How strange. Are they never Amy. taught anything else '.' Mother. They are t night to work, which is about the only thing they are considered good for. I nl >ed, a woman*, life in all heathen countries IS ■ hard ens at best. Among the higher classes they are kept shut up in the house most of the time, passing their days in idleness; while among the poorer classes they do all the rough, out door work, and are treated mure like beasts of harden than human beings, Amy. I'oor things ; Why do they treat them so. MoTHis. Because.they do not feel the love and ri'sp \'t for wo nen there that they do in Christian countries Indeed girls are never Weli-nine in a family; and those parents who have too ui.ny will either kill their little girl billies or give them tiway to get rid ol the disgrace. Amy. Do the Chinese women have very small feet ? MoTlir.it. The ladies of rank are required to have small feet, as a mark of their gentility; but the working women all have large feet. II /.MY, How do they make their feet so small ? MOTUE. When quite young their feet are bandaged very tight, with the toes pressed under the font toward ihe heel, and kept in that position until the feet are dead and stop growing. Amy. Don't it hurt them? Motiikt. ft caUses them very gre it suffering, especially when the band aires are removed to have the fed washed and clean cloths replaced. At such tunes they cty oat in agony ; but such is the force of custom and ttie dread of disgrace, that they would rather endure the greatest pain than the shame ol large feet when grown. Amy. I shouldn't think they could walk with such lit! c feet. Mother. They cannot walk. Their feet ure not larger than a child's four years eld and they only hobble along in the myst awkward way. But then, us the Chinese lidies sit so much in the house( and are carried in 39 n palanquin or chair by slaves when they go .out, they have very little walking to do, andnever miss the use of their feet. Harry. Do the Chinese get drunk? Motiikr. In their own eoiintjv the Chinese do not drink intoxicating liquors ; but they smoke opium, which is quite as bid, if not worse. How do they take it? .Mni'iiLß. It is boiled until it become as thick as molasses. Then a needle is thrust in and twisted around until a ball is made the shn ola pea. This is held in the flame until healed, and then put in a little orifhe in the t"p of the pipe. Hakhy How dues it hurt them '. MotiiKii. An opium smoker always reclines on a bed or bench when smoking, because it stupifies him and puts him to sleep. Just as the drunkard is never satisfied uness under the influence of liquor, so the o, ium-smoker never feels well or happy if he is not under the influence of his favorite drug. Indeed he becomes sick and miserable and often suffers pain if he cannot get it. He neglects his business, his property goes, his family are reduced to want, and sometimes even sold, that he may have money to buy opium. He becomes a total wreck, mentally and physically, until death ends his life here. Amy. I am glad we do net live in n country where they do such dreadful things. MOTES*. We should be careful not to pride ourselves upon our superior goodness, but rather feel thanklul that we live in a Christian land, where the pure light of the Gospel h:is kept away and made impossible those dark heathenish customs and vices which darken other lauds and degrade other souls. Harry. Don't the missionaries tell them how wicked these things are ? Mother Certainly and they are still working faithfully among them. More than 700 good men and women are giving their time in teaching and helping these people. Nearly twenty thousand of them hnve been converted, and are now living good Christian lives ; but there are still a great in >ny who have not heard of Jesus. We can do much, not only by giving our money, but by praying for those who are laboring among the heathen, that God would h dp and bless them and soon send the day when the whole world will know and love the Saviour who has done so much for them.— The Gospel in all Lands. llakhy. ; Here on the Hawaiian Islands we know of a number of youthful Missionaries who are already working among the Chinese. We liav-e no need of going to China, for we have plenty to do here. Now if all our boys and girls would try to help on the good work here, what grand results would follow!
