Some of the writers in the Honolulu papers have been endeavoring to show that the Hawaiians were manifesting great selfrestraint, but we do not see it. We do see much of an opposite nature.

Braxton's Bar : A tale or Pioneer vf.aks in California. By R. M. Dagc.ett or Nevada. Nnv York: G. W. CarUton 6- Co. London : S. Low 6- Co. 1882. It was a saying of Dr. Johnson, who reviewed many books, that he never read a book through. We have read this book from page Ito jnge 453. It is a book after the style of Mark Twain and Bret Harte, in which frontier life is depicted with a bold dash of the |>en. From our ]>ersonal knowledge derived from a visit to the mines of California, in 1849, and also a visit to San Francisco in 1851 and 1852, together with our frequent interviews with miners and the oft repeated stories of pioneer life, rehearsed in our hearing, we feel [irepared to endorse the sketches of this volume as not very much overdrawn. The sad tale of the overland journey, and the hardships of pioneer life, present sketches which will ever form a dark picture of human struggles to seek new homes and acquire wealth. The author of this volume, our readers will be interested to know, is the present U. S. Minister Mr. Daggett, at the Hawaiian Court. Undoubtedly, no inconsiderable portion of this volume is made up of a literal copy from his own journal. Unless we arcmuch mistaken, one of the characters, Marcus Caius Telemon Hriggs, may betaken as a graphic and not much overdrawn sketch of his own character and journey overland and sojourn in themines. We have no doubt most of the other characters were merely drawn from his personal friends and assor i ate-s; hence, while the volume- is styled "A Tale," we have read it as veritablehistory over which a thin imaginary veil is spread. Different readers will, of course, read such a book and derive different impressions. As for ourself, we read volumes of this character, and are impressed with that mighty upheaval of the civilized world to send forth thousands and tens of thousands of bold and adventurous men to people the Pacific slo|>e of the Rocky Mountains. That was a great event in modern civilization. It changed the current of the world's population. It was like the casting of a great mountain into the ocean, and long years were needed to allow the waters to subside, and even now the agitation is going forward. The U. S. Government in making appointments does not aim to select men of literary or scientific attainment, but we are always rejoiced when such apjiointments are made, and we trust that our present Minister will keep in mind to exercise his talent for both prose and potty," in a manner which will reflect credit U|>on our country and contribute to the delight of the reading public. A few days since, we had occasion to call at the U. S. legation, and fortunately found the U. S. High Official engaged in a " |>oetical " com]>osition, which we have subsequently read in our Honolulu pa|>ers, and which has been commended for its real poetical beauties. If our narrow limits would allow, we should transfer the poem, but the last stan/.a must suffice " :— () scene of peace ! lieauty ! 0 li.iiiiL- nf anil uf dreams O Waikiki !

BETTER We were glad to hear a planter remark in a recent interview, that therewas an increasing disposition among the planters to provide better accommodations for their laborers. If this is the result of the recent discussion of the subject in our island and foreign KWspnpen, then an important result has been attained. I'lanters are very verily culpable unless they do providewell for their laborers. We see repotted from time to time- in our island pa|>ers, that some of the plantations are- declaring dividends of $20,000, 30,000 and even 50,000 and more. Certainly these planters cannot complain of hard times or poverty. The appointment of Mr. Cleghorn to look after this matter ought to result in much good to the- laborers. Aye think agents would do well to visit plantations and co-operate with their overseers and superinte-ndenls. This is too important a subject to be ignored or overlooked. The eyes of tourisK travelers, foreign officials, agents of for eign government! and philanthropists are turned to this subject, and it will rarely be discussed in newspapers on the- Islands and abroad The- Ameri< an people, in consideration of the fact that they have granick the treaty of reciprocity, have a perfect right to look into this subject If done in a friendly manner great good will be the result. We would add, informationhas cometo us, that during the past few months a secret detective has been traveling over the- Islands, working awhile on one plantation and then going to another, but carefully noting what hesaw and heard. Missionaries are having their work examined and whyshould not planters be subjected to a similar scrutiny ? The Hawaiian Islands are not situated in an out-of-the-way corner of the earth, but on the very highway of commerce, trade and travel. / now lying upon our table. Many of the- sketches will be recognized as essays whit h the- author read in Fort Street Church in 1870, at the Jubilee Gatherings. They are interesting as depicting scenes on the Hawaiian Islands, more than a half-century ago. Such books as this, and those of Mrs. Judd and the Rev. Mr. Coan, contain rich materials for the future historian as well as afford entertaining reading for the present generation. This volume, as also that of Mr. Daggett, noticed in this issue of our paper, relate to Pioneer life; the former on the Sandwich Islands, and the latter on the Pacific coast. The Pioneer Missionaries to these islands, came for a far different object, than im|>elled the pioneers of the coast to cross the Rocky Mountains or double Cape Horn.

These men, with a few Samoan christian teachers, have landed on New Guinea and faced a sickly climate and savage tribes.

Sunday at Home, Aug., 1882. — The "Salvation Army" having taken up positions in the various places in the metropolis and the provinces, has now proceeded to carry out a plan of operations in the city of Oxford. A letter from the University says " The city is being roused by the very practical, but not very scholarly, movements of the Salvation Army. The work of the Army has been principally conducted in the quadrilateral ' of poor parishes occnpicd by Evangelical clergy, and is said to have produced already very marked effects. Publicans are complaining that their custom has been falling off; courts formerly notorious only for drunkenness are not only jKjaceful, but signalised (shall we not say consecrated ?) by the presence of family prayer. In St. Aldate's parish an experiment is being tried by a layman, who intends, 1 am told, to be ordained as Mr. Christopher's curate. Every night he holds a meeting, in which he imitates as exactly as possible all the practices of the Salvation Army ; and so far with the result that many free seats are occupied by men whose figures were heretofore only too familiar outside the doors of public houses, and a few Sundays ago a body of these men were communicants. Blue ribbons, badges of the Blue Ribbon Army,' are to be seen quite commonly in every street. One even appears in the coat of the rector of St. Aldate's.

He is" ■scholarly, rhetorical, scientific. He throws down the gauge of battle, in the presence of the infidel, atheist, rationalist, materialist, and sceptic of any phase of doubt. He wanders over the earth and meets the proud Brahmin, under the shadow of his temples in Delhi, or he will discuss Buddhism with the adherents of that faith in China or Japan. He shrinks not from an encounter with the opponents of Christianity and Missions, in any city of the Orient, and he delights in skirting the inhabited regions of Australia and there preaching the everlasting gospel, or unfolding in outline the mysteries of modern philosophy. It is refreshing to meet a man of this stamp, in his circumnavigation ofthe globe, lifting high est rise of the principal sciences and .arts in countries beyond the influence of Aryan and Semitic civilization, —if, lastly, we take into account the important evidence which the Chinese language, reflecting, like a never-fading photograph, the earliest workings of the human mind, is able to supply to the student of psychology and to the careful analyzer of the elements and laws of thought, we should feel less inclined to ignore or ridicule the claims of such a language to a chair in our ancient university."

Many of the points presented were more or less familiar to those who have read his lectures, but this circumstance rendered the address none the less impressive and interesting. To listen for an hour, to the magnetic utterances of a man who has had the world for an audience, was a great privilege, and one our people thoroughly enjoyed. It was inspiring to be lifted into the atmosphere of great ideas and ennobling truths. He said, most grandly, there are now no foreign nations. Christianity is spreading with rapid strides. Infidelity is proving its own executioner, in petitioning Congress that "impure" literature might circulate through the mails. Three hundred and nine translations of the bible are conveying the bread of life to the famishing nations. Such utterances, so grandly put forth, inspire ministers, missionaries, sabbathschool teachers and other evangelistic laborers with renewed zeal, to obey the "marching order" of their great captarn, "go ye into all the world and preach the gosjiel to every creature." Our earnest wish and prayer is that the noble preacher and lecturer may return to his native land and be instrumental in raising up and sending forth a host of educated men and women, who will leave behind the delights and comforts of Christian lands, and go forth to enlighten the ignorant, lift up the degraded, and "make disciples of all nations." It was refreshing to listen to the utterances of a s]>eaker, who could and did, gather arguments for the truth of Christianity from the wide field of history, sabred and profane, philosophy ancient and modern, and the literature of Europe, India and China It is said to profit by travel, one must take knowledge with him.

One of the most significant and encouraging "signs of the times" is the awakening of the clergy of the Church of England to the temperance question. We clip the following from an exchange: " The youngest bishop of the English Church is Bishop Wilberforce, of Newcastle. He is a grandson of the Wilberforce of splendid memory in connection with the abolition of slavery. Hardly has this new Bishop of Newcastle got to the duties of his office when he begins to evince the moral sense and the moral courage of his ancestor. He finds that a large part of the immense revenue of the Established Church comes from lands and houses leased to liquor-sellers, brewers and distillers. He is scandalized at the use of church property for such purposes. He has determined, in his own diocese, to put a stop to it. The he says, can hardly Bishop of go from his home to his cathedral church without passing a multitude of rum-holes, for the existence of which the Church is responsible. He therefore, in a letter addressed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, calls his attention to the matter, and begs him to rid the Church of this burning offense. the people discuss and decide many All this is only another sign of how matters of local interests. That which the Temperance movement is breaking meets in Kioto icnludes the city and out here and there, and more and two or three outlaying provinces. leadmore." ing members of this assembly invited The Bishop of Honolulu during his Mr. Cook to deliver the address, and visit in England, seems to have felt a they provided the building and assumed all the expenses. They issued tickets pressure upon his mind to move in this of admission, and many members of matter, as we learn from the report of the assembly, and leading officials of the Synod, recently held in Honolulu. the city government, were present, the He has written to the Islands upon the vice-governor being on the platform.

Ultimately the motion requesting the clergymen of the diocese to form branches of the C. E. T. S. in the parishes or missions under their charge was negatived on the ground that in the absence of so many of the clergy it was desirable to give the matter further consideration." From late English papers we learn, that a monster temperance meeting numbering 20,000 and more has been held at the Crystal Palace. Let the ball once start and depend upon it the public sentiment of the English people will push it forward, as they did the anti-slavery movement a half century ago. The question of the descent of John Bunyan is exciting much interest in England, some maintaining that he came from a family of gypsies. A man by the name of Bunyan now claims that he was of Scotch descent, and that the first of the Bunyans was an Italian mason who came to the building of Melrose Abbey. The oldest gravestone in the graveyard around Melrose Abbey has on it the name of Bunyan. JOSEPH COOK AT KIOTO. Accounts have appeared in several religious papers of the United States of Mr. Cook's address at Japan, yet the following reference to a great meeting in Kioto, in one of Dr. Gordon's letters, will be read with interest. Dr. Gordon says:— "You must know that while a national parliament has not yet been established, there are already local assemblies where representatives elected by "It is proDable that the address was more distinctively religious than some —for example, the vice-governor—expected it to be; still, they knew what his addresses had been elsewhere, and they invited him without even a shadow of a suggestion that he should trim his. speech. "Coming out of that meeting with the recollection that that great audience of legislators, a vice-governor, and many lower officials, physicians, lawyers, editors, teachers, pupils, priests, merchants, etc., have been sitting in quietness and attention for hours listening to a Christian preacher, a foreigner, too, at that, declaring here in this old sacred city of Kioto, that Christianity alone can give them the civilization they seek, the self constitutional freedom to which they aspire, and then recalling the fact that within ten years a Protestant Christian, imprisoned for his faith alone, died in the prison of this same city, one could hardly help shouting, 'What hath God wrought.'" We cannot if we would, and should not if we could, remain isolated and alone. Men under the benign influence of Christianity yearn for intercourse, for the interchange of thought and the products of thought as a means of a common progress toward a nobler civilization.

" This Pais la Edited by a Committee of the T. M. C. A. At the Last regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A., held Oct. 19th, several interesting reports were presented. The chief subject of the evening, was that of our present temperance situation. Mr. P. C. Jones had, in accordance with previous invitation, prepared to some extent his views with regard to the same. He made some practical suggestions, which will again come before the Association for consideration. Dr. Hyde as Chairman of the Temperance Committee presented many facts of interest, in reference to the increase of the use of liquor by the natives, since the passage of the new law, which grants liquor to all without distinction. Among the business items of the evening may be mentioned the one making P. C. Jones, Esq., our delegate at large, during his proposed visit to the States. Also the one authorizing Mr Jones to make enquiries, in behalf of the Association, for a suitable person to become our general secretary, and empowering him to take the initiative steps towards securing such a person. Mr. Frank Eckley was elected to fill the vacancy in the treasurership, caused by the death of Mr. Dillingham. In closing the meeting the President gave announcement, that the subject of Temperance would again be the especial topic for our next regular meeting, and a special invitation was made for the ladies to be with us. The Rev. Joseph Cook has come and gone. He was with us only a few hours, the steamer from Australia arriving at about five o'clock Sunday p. at,, and sailing again for San Francisco at about nine the same evening. But during this brief stay he gave many the pleasure of hearing him lecture. We say many because all could not be accommodated who wished to gain admittance. One of the needs of Honolulu is a large audience room, where, on such an occasion as this Sunday evening, all may find place. Mr. Cook lecturedupon "The Signsof the Times;" and after hearing it, every one felt how unfortunate it was that the hope and plan of our Association could not have been carried out, viz as Mr. Cook was expected on steamer of Scut. 2;, to keep him with us until the next steamer and have his presenceat the laying of the corner stone of our new building. Such a man of strength and power would surely have placed us on our feet However, we do not lose courage. We will place ourselves, by our own strength, upon our feet, and will be all tbe stronger for having done so. Though Mr. Cook simply came and went, as it were, our interest and regard for him has greatly increased. For now we have come in contact with him. We have seen and heard him, as well as read him. "Do you not think, that the opening services at Fort Street Church are too long?" asked one of a companion. "Well, I don't know; how long are they?" "Why," says the first speaker, "at one of the recent meetings, as I timed it, they occupied fifty-three minutes, while the sermon, and it was a good one too, was but twenty minutes long. It seems to me, that though the kernel is very precious, still we are too long in getting off the husks. Really I was quite exhausted, on the morning to which I refer, before the sermon commenced, and I was not so able to appreciate and enjoy it as I would like. Is it not ]x>ssible to have some change made? Ido not care for the long sermonso much, as for the physical strength, if you please, to aid me in taking in and enjoying the short one." We print the above conversation for what it may be worth. We think the form of service chosen, has been so chosen, because it has seemed to the pastor and others as the most fitting, and beautiful, and preparatory for the "kernel" which is to follow. But if there is anything in the service which unfits, as the "length of it" spoken of, surely it ought to be looked into. As Temperance is to be the subject of our next meeting, it may not be out of place to copy entire the following speech. It was a temperance speech at a wine banquet. The "House Guardian" describes the situation as follows: "Recently the freeholders assembled in the new extension of the county jail, Patterson, New Jersey, to celebrate the expenditure of $30,000 for that purpose, and to partake of a banquet provided by the officers of the board and the contractors. After drinking a number of toasts, Judge Woodruff offered as a volunteeMoast, "The Temperance Cause," and called upon W. H. H. Bartram to respond, which he did as follows: "Gentlemen: I thank you for this invitation, and I recognize its fitness. You have assembled to celebrate the enlargement of this jail rendered necessary by use of strong drinks, in which you are so freely indulging this day. Down stairs the cells and corridors are crowded with criminals who have but changed places. A few years ago they were respected citizens, some of them occupying as res|K>sible positions as those filled by yourselves, but they commenced as you have commenced and they continued as you are continuing, and to-day they are reaping the harvest in a career of crime, and paying the penalty with a period of punishment. (At this moment another bottle was opened, and Mr. Bartram said:) I hear the popping of a cork, I listen to the merry voices and the praises you are singing to the infernal spirit of wine; but there comes to me the sad refrain, from the prisoner's cell, who is shedding penitential tears over his folly, and accompanied by the still sadder wail of anguish uttered by the broken-hearted wife, worse than widowed through the traffic in strong drink, which, as a judge in one ofyour courts said, 'is the great promoter ol crime,'a traffic licensed by you and sustained by the patronage you are this day giving it. It is with inexcusable sadness that I discover that there can be found in Passaic County so many men with hearts so hardened, feeling so calloused, sensibilities so blunted, that in a place like this, under circumstances like these, they dare raise to their lips that which depraves the citizens and endangers the state. Thanking you, gentlemen, for this unexpected privilege, I take my seat fully conscious that you will never again call on me under similar circum- stances." Christianity bids us seek, in communion with our brethren of every race and clime, the blessings they can afford us, and to bestow in return upon them those with which our new continent is destined to fill the world �113 "THESE FBOM THE LAND OP SINIM."-Isaiah, 49:12.

China has negotiated treaties with the United States, England, France, Germany and other European nations. Recent intelligence announces that even China and Brazil in South America have entered into treaty relations. This kingdom of Hawaii has sought treaty relations with America and the nations of Europe, including the little kingdom of Denmark, although there is no trade or intercourse between Denmark and Hawaii. Viewing the subject from either a Chinese or Hawaiian stand-point, the situation of affairs is quite strange and HONOLULU, NOVEMBER i, 1882. vent so large an immigration of males and so very limited a number of females. Homes should be provided for the homeless immigrants. Even supposing China is indifferent to this subject, then why should not Hawaii take the initiative ? She has the most at stake. Her integrity and vitality as a nation are seriously imperilled by the present drift of affairs. It is of vastly more importance to Hawaii to cultivate and carry forward a satisfactory policy with China, than with any other nation on earth. America and other nations may treat with the rulers of these islands, in order to advance trade and commerce, but China is sending hither her thousands of hardy industrious, frugal, thrifty and shrewd unaccountable.

I THE CHINESE IN HAWAII. A sermon preached in Fort Street Church Sunday evening, Oct. 28th, /88s, at the request of the Hawaiian Board of Mission, by J. A. Cruzan. Isaiah xlix: 13. And these from the land of Sinim. Isaiah, the far-sighted and the clearsighted, looked down over the ages and saw that wondrous day when the Messiah's Kingdom should be worldwide. The nations of the earth all eagerly were pressing in—taking "the Kingdom of Heavem by violence." And among others, China (Sinim), that wonder-land, with its teeming millions, Isaiah tells us, is in that day to be eager for the Gospel as the rest. "Behold, these shall come from far; andlo, these from the North and from the West; and these from the land of Sinim." China waited long for the f«ospel, and when it was brought to her gave it a slow, tardy reception. But there must ever be a planting time before the harvest. China now presents many fields ripe for the Gospel-reapers' sickle. Every indication now points to a wonderful progress of the Gospel in China in the near future. Sinim shall come, for God's word says so. She is coming. During thousands of years China's �114 millions were hem mod in by her "great wall" of non-intercourse. But at last English cannon battered this barrier down. China was not only opened to the world, but, what was, perhaps, still more important, the world was opened to the Chinaman. And he is going everywhere. Into Siam, Burmah, and India, hehas made his way by hundreds of thousands. Throughout the Malayan Archipelago, New Zealand and Australia—everywhere you will find the übiquitous Chinaman. He has turned his almond eyes westward, and, like another Columbus, has discovered America, to the tenor of the politician and the American Irishman. Into little Hawaii, the smallest of Kingdoms, he has come, until now more than onehalf of the adult males residing on these Islands are Chinamen. Out of the 80,000 people living in this little group of islands, there are probably nearly 14,000 Chinamen, and about 300 Chinese women; some estimate the number as high as 15,000. As thoughtful Christian men and women we would do well to seek an intelligent answer, first to this question: 1. WHAT KIND OF MAN IS THE CHINA- MAN? The worldhas done the Chinese scant justice in the past. The Chinaman has been curtly dismissed as an ignoNever have a rant heathen pagan. great people been more misunderstood. It is coming at last to be recognized that the Chinese are a great people— great not only in numbers, but great in intellectual power and those sterling qualities which in the "struggle for existence," may, world-wide, bring him to the front. This is certain, that except the Anglo-Saxon, they are the greatest people on the face of the earth. i. The Chinese are an intellectual people. Their literature dates back to the time of Moses. They had poets, sages, and philosophers centuries before English history began. When President Angell, of the Mich. University, was United States Minister in China, last year, he wrote to the students in Ann Arbor these words: "In a most emphatic sense it may be affirmed that public opinion here is made, and this empire is governed by scholars. With rare exceptions, men cannot attain to official positions, of even moderately high grade, unless they have evinced their scholarship in public examinations." Civil-service-reform, which America is now demanding of her politicians, China has had for 2,000 years. Of course among Hawaii's 14,000 Chinese there are few scholars. But they all came from that intellectual scholarly nation, where love of, and reverence for learning is in the very air the people breathe. They are not the densely ignorant dolts which many suppose them to be. They are quick to learn and eager for knowledge. THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1882 2. THE CHINESE ARK A COMPARATIVELY MORAL PEOPLE. Says Dr. Judson Smith:—"They are not free from sin, and vice, and social corruption. No man, or nation, wins that boon without Christ and his salvation. But the Chinese are relatively a moral and intellectual people. Morality, the proprieties of the human relations and conduct, has been the very substance of the thoughts, and Not, studies for many centuries. indeed, the pure and heavenly morality of the Gospel—then would they need no light from us;—not a morality of broad views, and generous aims, and high aspirations, but still a strict and definite moral code, which has left the impress of moral principal and right living upon the family and the social life of the whole people. They are not a gross, sensual besotted people, whose hopeless inward corruption taints, and weakens, and degrades their mental powers, and all their higher instincts and sentiments." Don't misunderstand me. Ido not picture the Chinaman as without vices, when I say that he is comparathely moral. What I mean is, that, compared with other heathen, he is very superior morally. But he is not a "saint." Far from it. He has many vices, side by side with his virtues. He is a strange incomprehensible being. Says Dr. Humphrey: "In the same person stand side by side, gentleness, thrift, contentment, cheerfulness, self-control, dutifulness to parents, and reverence for the aged; with lying, flattery, fraud, cruelty, ingratitude, avarice, treacherey, and abominable vices." While compared with other heathen he is moral, he is very far removed from Christian morality. 3. THE ARE OF DECIDED DOMESTIC TRAITS. CHINESE Nowhere else on the face of the earth is the family so cherished, and made so important as in China. Ido not mean, of course, that they have as a high an ideal of the family as we find in Christian nations. But there is no tie which binds the Chinaman so strongly as that of the family. Death does not break it, it only strengthens it. After death, then the reverence due parents becomes a part of the children's religion—"the principal religion," Rev. Dr. Yates, of Shanghai, calls it. Every one of these Chinese bachelors in Hawaii has this love of, and longing for the family tie. It is part of his inherited constitutional tendencies and tastes. It is part of his religion. Whatever else he may not desire, one thing enters constantly into every Chinaman's plans: a family of his own. any other man can live there, he will thrive and hoard money. Wherever he has pushed his way he has come as a worker and not as a barnacle. There is only one place where you will not find the Chinaman: the poor house. Not that the Chinaman loves work so much. If laziness, as some one has said, be the "original sin," then I suppose he has inherited his share. "If he can evade work," says Rev. John Ross, a missionary in China, "while he gets his pay, he will undoubtedly be as lazy as a man can be under the circumstaces. But if he can get money only by work, he will neither starve or beg when able to get employment, no matter what kind of work it may be. Industry, and industry guided by intelligence, is the leading characteristic of the great nation. If any race surpasses them in industry, it is only the Anglo- Saxon." These admirable characteristics, joined with many others which I have not time even to mention, have made them the wonderful people that they are:— "a people," so says Dr. Williamson, who has spent 20 years among them, "A people whose intellect is, in all important respects, equal to our own." A people surrounded by barbarous races of nomadic savages, and yet possessing the most stable of governments, many of the arts, sciences, and inventions, a written language and wonderfully rich literature. A people, who in the "struggle for cxistance" have, in 3000 years, from the narrow strip ol country bordering on the China Sea which they then occupied, pushed forward their conquering banner, with its black dragon and yellow field, till now it waves over one-third of Asia and one-tenth of the habitable globe. A people who will one-day be rulers of all Asia lying between the Altas and Yoblonnoi Mts. on the North, and the Himalay's on the South, and perhaps the great group of islands lying to the Southeast. Apeople whoarealready looking across the Altas Mts., and preparing for a contest of arms with their great neighbor, Russia, to decide who shall rule all Central and Northern Asia; and in that contest, which seems inevitable, China will bring her 379,000,000 against Russias 86,000,000. A people who may, one day, contest with the Anglo-Saxon race for the supremacy of the world. More than 14,000 of this wonderful people are already in these Islands. As thoughtful men, as Christians, we should seek an answer to this question: 11. ARE THEY A DESIRABLE FACTOR IN OUR ISLAND POPULATION? /As a laborer the Chinaman is unsurpassed. As a taxpayer he puts $75,000 every year into your national treasury. 4. THE CHINESE ARE REMARKABLE As a producer he makes your hitherto FOR THEIR INDUSTRY AND PERuseless salt marshes yield the finest rice SEVERANCE. in the world; his hard hand touches Put the Chinaman anywhere, and if the waste places of your Islands, and �THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER 1882 they teem with wealth. But, while all this is true, still his presence may not be desirable. Is there any danger of a conflict of races between the Hawaiian and the Chinaman? Hon. W. N. Armlate attorney-general of this strong, Kingdon, in a recently published letter in the Southern Workman says there is. — He says: "The natives are dwindling away. The Chinese, thrifty, intelligent, lawabiding, equal, if they do not out-number the adult male Hawaiians. But they hold no political power, and are at the mercy of the natives. If selfgovernment is good for the idle natives it is good for the industrious Chinese. If there must be consistency, either the natives must give up the ballot, or the Chinese must have it. The result will be an inevitable conflict of races. It cannot be prevented. To ignore this does not destroy it. It exists, and it is only a matter of time, as to when the conflict will begin." Rev. Geo. L Chancy, a keen observer, who visited yourislands a few years ago, in his charming little book "Aloha," broadly hints at the same "coming conflict." But I do not believe these "prophets of evil"—if they mean an open conflict of force. There will be no war of race between the Chinese and the Hawaiian. If there should be it is not diflcult to predict the result. The Hawaiian would inevitably go down in such a conflict. But, while I do not believe there will be any open conflict between the Chinese and the Hawaiian races, there will be, there is already, of necessity a conflict: That silent, invisible, bloodless conflict, "the struggle for existence," in which "the fittest servive"—such a conflict has been going on for years in these islands. The result is not doubtful. Says Rev. Geo. L. Chancy: "The Chinese are a persistent race; the Hawaiian evanescent. The former have the very qualities which the latter most lack—industry, providence, economy, subtlety—all the money-making arfd money-saving virtues are with the Chinese. Idleness, carelessness, generosity, simplicity, all the money-losing qualities are with the Hawaiian." Everywhere the Chinaman is quietly, peaceably, similingly but insistently displacing the Hawaiian. Nothing is more absolutely sure, which is not already an accomplished fact, than this: That as a laborer, small farmer, shop-keeper, and tradesman the Chinaman will crowd the native Hawaiian to the wall, and will take his place. But, he is doing this peaceably, and with the Hawaiian's tacit consent. More than this: While the Chinese are steadily, surely, displacing the Hawaiians, yet among all our many races thrown together in this little kingdom, no two so completely fraternize as do the Chinese and the Hawaiian. They buy and sell with each other, work together, 115 live together, and inter-marry as no is already being felt in Hawaii, and is certain lo be increasingly felt in the other races among us. There is much more probability of future. In it there is the promise of a an open conflict between the Chinese conflict.

You will find at work in the city, carpenters, painters, aud masons. "Well," you say, "what of it? The Chinaman has as much right to sell dry goods and groceries, and to build houses and make shoes as the Anglo-Saxon." Well, yes, I acknowledge his right: But, if you were a mechanic, or small tradesman, with a large family to support, and had to come in competition with the Chinaman, the case might not seem so clear. The Chinaman is a bachelor. His white competitor is, or will be, at least ought to be, a married man. Says Joseph Cook: "At the bottom of the collisions of labor and capital which caused ten cities in America to listen, during the railway riots of 1877, to volleys of sharp shot, was the compition of bachelor wages with family wages. James here has two dollars and a half a day, and can bareiy support his family. John yonder, has no work, and is a bachelor, and is willing to work for one dollar a day. There is a strike. James who has back of him his wife and children, says to John: 'If you take my place and work for a dollar a day, I will kill you. I cannot keep my wife and children from starving on that!'" *The Chinaman is a bachelor. More than" than that, he will herd like a beast, with his fellows, to save rent, and live on rice and the refuse from the butcher's stall. If necesstty compels he can exist, and work, on 25 cents a day. We cannot afford to bring our white mechanics and small tradesmen be regulated, and our Islands not flooded with males alone. The Chinese immigrant should be required to bring his family, as the Portugese is now required to do." In such a treaty regulation as that there would be a partial preventive of the "coming conflict" between the Chinese and the Anglo-Saxon. It would also wonderfully tone up the moral atmosphere of these Islands if these thousands of Chinamen had families. There is no other such potent moral educator and restraint as the family. Did you ever stop to think what a factor these 14,000 unmarried Chinamen are in the prevailing licentiousness which curses our Island com- munity? 3. Educate the Chinaman. Not only should the few Chinese children in the Islands be gathered into our schools, but there should be persistent, wisely planned efforts to educate the adults. They are anxious to learn. With the new ideas which education brings, will come new aspirations, a broader and larger manhood, and better citizenship, and better laborers. Educated, he would no longer be content to herd like an animal and eat refuse. With his enlarged wants there would be less danger of a labor and wages conflict between the Chinaman and his Anglo-Saxon neighbor. 4. Christianize him. We have no choice in this matter, (i.) It is a stern necessity. We must Christinize the Chinese or they will paganize these Islands. We are "members one of another." The destinies of yourselves, and esi>ecially your children, are closely interwoven with these pagan Chinamen. They cannot dwell among us, cherish their sui>erstitions, and practice into competition with Chinese bache- their reeking vices, without affecting lor wages. We cannot afford to so reduce the earnings of this class of our white men that they can no longer afford to marry, or, being married, can not proj>erly support their families and educate their children.

As I have hinted above, our way lay from Kau through the Hilo and Hamakua districts, past Waimea, the home of that "sweet psalmist" and noble missionary, Rev. Mr. Lyons, to Kohala. This overland journey of more than one hundred miles, one of the most trying for horse and rider physically, is at the same time one of the most delightful to a traveller, alive to the grand and beautiful in nature. The wild and precipitous coast of Eastern Hawaii, cleft by romantic gorges, glorious with a luxuriant growth of tropical foliage, beneath which riotous mountain streams hasten to the sea, is one of the most picturesque regions, I have ever been permitted to visit. We were ever in motion, every daybrought us a few miles further and every night, a new company of listeners to the '-good news" which we brought them. Our services were held in all manner of places, high up on the slope of Mauna Kea, in some rough mountain cabin, or down by the shore, where the Pacific wages ceaseless war with the jagged lava ledge, in crowded plantation "quarters," or village churches, or under the star-lit arch of night. Books and tracts and leaflets were given at all points by the way, and we cannot but hope that some seed has fallen on good soil which in God's own time will spring up to His Glory. On Maui our work was similar to that on Hawaii —nearly all the Chinese on the Island were visited on the plantations, or at the different settlements and a very cordial reception was given us whereever we went. One especial feature of the work here, was the visit to the great plantation owned by Mr. Spreckels, where there are from six to seven hundred Chinamen, living at different camps. We returned to Honolulu, with many pleasant memories of the summer's tour. At all points we had met with the greatest kindness and God grant that the work courtesy. may not have been in vain.

They have joined I know all you with the native Christians and formed can say about "the Chinese being in a different, a lower scale, of society from yourself and your family: that they are beneath you and yours, and that you do not come in contact with them." In order that there may be health in the parlor, the cellar beneath must be kept pure. I tearing vegetables there inevitably smite the inmates of the parlor with deadly typhoid. It is impossible for society—especially such a small, isolated, peculiar society as ours—to remain pure, clean, and healthy in its upper classes, while the masses are corrupt.

Christianized they would be a helpful element Heathenized they are a dangerous element// (2) It is our duty to Christianize these Chinamen. For these Christ died. They are our brothers. Their souls are just as precious as our own. They are perishing in sin. God has, in His providence, brought them to our very doors that we might give them the Gospel. As I ride through the Chinese quarter, as I come face to face on every street with these men from the Orient, there is a new meaning to these words which we sometimes sing: you cannot cross the ocean " IfAnd the heathen lands explore, You can lind the heathen nearer, You can help them at your door. If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say, 'He diedfor all.'" While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you, Let none hear you idly saying, There is nothing I can do!" Gladly take the task He gives you, Let His work your pleasure lie ; Answer quickly when He calleth, " a Union Church, and have erected a church building. We have the means necessary to Christianize these Chinese. God has wonderfully blessed the foreign population in these Islands. Into their hands he has given most of the wealth. God has been pouring a ceaseless golden stream into your coffers. Seven years ago the value of the plantations on these Islands was estimated at only six millions of dollars. Now, the late Planter's Convention estimated their value at twenty millions. Are you giving back to God's work in proportion as he is blessing you? Listen to the record: In 1873 >' our total contributions to the Hawaiian Board was $10,849. In 1881 your total contributions were only $5,200! Your wealth multiplied by three—your contributions divided by tii<o\ " But." you say, "there has been a great falling off in the native contributions." Yes. In 1873 the foreigners alone contributed $2,076. In 1881 only $944—or less than one-half! "These things ought not so to be." If the Chinese receive the Gospel you must give it to them. The Christian Chinese are poor. They cannot give their pagan brothers the Gospel. These pagan Chinese will not pay for the Gospel, and it is absurd to expect them to give money to destroy their own religion. We must do it. The destinies of our own families, of these Islands, of thousands of immortal souls, depend largely on our faithfulness in obeying the Christ's command: "Go ye, and preach the Gospel to every creature." May God help us all to be faithful, and do our whole duty, to these thousands from the land of ( —And every one of these Chinamen Sinim. is the voice of God calling,—) Our views upon the desirability of a treaty with China have not changed "Here, am I, 0 Lord, send inc."

Funds are necessary to carry forward mission work. The rich and poor can aid. A lady sent us recently $1.00, which we received with unfeigned delight. A much larger sum recently came from Liverpool. We refer to a draft for j£ioo or $500, signed by Alexander Balfour, of that city. The name of this donor has deservedly become widely known, in connection, with many objects of public beneficence. Recently when Mr. Moody appealed for funds to clear of! a large debt, on the Y. M. C. A.of San Francisco, Balfour, Guthrie & Co., were down for $ 10,000, and when Mr. Moody first labored in Liverpool, Mr. Balfour, contributed thousands, to carry forward the Evangelistic enterprise. Recently Mr. Balfour has visited the Orient, and we notice his donation of $1,200, to American mission work in Beirout Syria, while for many years he has contributed largely to evangelistic work in Chili, S. A, under the auspices of that noble laborer, Rev. Dr. Trumbull. We desire to assure Mr. Balfour and all others aiding in the special work of the Chinese Mission, on the' Hawaiian Islands, that they have our sincere thanks, and we shall ever be ready to report respecting the manner their contributions are expended. We would merely add, that under the auspices of Mr. Balfours' firm in Liverpool, Balfour, Williamson & Co., the Apprentice's Home, 151 Duke St., has been carried forward. This Home is now doing much good, and we often meet the young sailors from this institution on their visits in English ships at purity of his life amidst the almost universal corruption around him.

Lyra Gf.rmanica. MISSON ITEMS. As we are desirous of gathering facts in reference to Mission Work among the Chinese, in countries outside of China, we shall be most glad to receive from friends in America, Australia or the Straits settlements, any information bearing upon this point. At the next communion season in January, four persons are hoping to unite with the Chinese Church in Honolulu. Three by profession and one by letter. Mr. John Bishop, who has charge of the Government school at Kaneohe, has opened an evening school for Chinese. We trust he will find much to encourage him in his efforts to do them good. In view of the increasing importance of the missionary work among the Chinese, the Woman's Board of Missions voted at a recent meeting to aid by contributing funds to this cause. We are pleased to learn from Kohala that the Chinese Sabbath School there is in a flourishing condition. Mr. George W. Paty now acts as superintendent. The school is held at the Foreign Church. In Wailuku, the Rev. Mr. Groser, of the Anglican Church, has long taken a deep interest in the Chinese, and has done much for their spiritual welfare, proving himself a true friend to them. This is a field of labor in which all Christians on our Islands can join in brotherly union to advance the cause of Christ. At Wailuku, Maui, there is a large and important Chinese settlement, and we rejoice to learn that Mr. Girvin has started a Sabbath school there for the Chinese. He writes us: "I feel confident that I will capture them with the bait of English, and pray that I may be able to show them the Christ." This is the right spirit with which to go to work, and we trust that many of our business men, will engage in the same good cause. The Chinese cannot fail to be impressed, when our prominent foreign merchants try to tell them of the Saviour of mankind. who has been many years on the Islands, appears to have become a most ho|>eful and intelligent Christian, and has recently united with the Honolulu Church. He came many years ago to the Islands. He was at one time in the family of Rev. Mr. Johnson on Kauai, and the impressions for good which he there received, seem never to have been effaced. What an encouragement this should be to those who have Chinese, as family servants, to labor for their spiritual good! Several men restored to health, returning this week to their work on a Hawaii Plantation, have shown great interest in the religion of Jesus. They carry back with them their testaments and promise to continue to pray to the true God. Let us pray that they be witnesses for truth, in the midst of their still heathen fellow-laborers. One poor man, who was found by Christian friends, lying by the wayside, in a well nigh dying condition, and sent to the hospital has been completely restored We are sometimes taught that we should have hope for the seemingly most hopeless, and labor for them accordingly. We recently received a letter from a lady friend on Hawaii, who writes about a poor Chinaman in her employ, who has till recently been addicted to the use of opium, until there seemed to be scarcely any hope for him, and he lingered in life only a poor and wretched object of humanity. Efforts exerted in his behalf seem to have wakened new life in him, and our friend says of him: "He is certainly a different man now from what he was, there is such a marked changed, that we all notice it; he has given up opium smoking and while he was obliged to take the doctor's medicines, begged me to ask him not to put in any opiates, so to health, and cannot sufficiently exthat the taste for them would not be press his gratitude to God, who has kept up." thus mercifully preserved him.
