Their gifts, with those of the Chinese, have hel[>ed to light a spiritual beacon-flame which will illumine not only that district of Hawaii, but may yet aid in dispelling the gloom of error and superstition on the distant shores of Asia. their methods of work, the fruits of long and laborious experience. It has been a source of no little pleasure to me that my proposed plan has seemed to give great satisfaction to my Chinese friends, who see in it a pledge of continued friendship and sympathy. It must be patent to every thoughtful observer that in the future of our islands this people, representing the greatest of Asiatic nations, is to be a most influential factor.

It will be my aim, so far as possible, to visit the districtsof the Kwangtung province, from which our Punti and Hakka Chinese come, to see the friends and relatives of rriany known to me here, and to study the character and home-life of the |>eople. Especially do I look forward to conference with missionaries of different denominations in southern China, from whose folds so large a number of our Chinese Christians have come, and to whom we owe so much, hoping to gain much needed help and counsel from them personally, and through study of themselves blest. During my absence, the work of the mission will go on as heretofore. My father, Rev. S. C.

What precious memories are called by the announcement of this missionary's death. His birth dates in the closing years of the last century. He sailed for South Africa in 1816, the same year that Kills and Williams, the martyr of ICrromanga, left England for the South Seas. What noble young men, Moffatt, Ellis and Williams, start ing in their young manhood for labors among the heathen, and how nobly these three men bore the "burden and heat" of the day! Williams died the martyrs/leath November 30, 1839; Ellis, after laboring in the South Seas, Hawaiian Islands, making three visits to Madagascar, died in England in 1872, while the remaining member of the illustrious trio has recently died in England. It is well known that his daughter married the renowned African explorer Livingston. The world has telt the influence of these noble men, whose labors were so wide-spread and farreaching. Their fame is world-wide, and their memories will be cherished in grateful remembrance so long as time shall las!. to mind The Last Find at Pompeii.—A beautiful painting has been discovered in the ruins of Pompeii, representing the ''Judgment ofSolomon." It is said to be the first Dictate on a sacred subject that has been discovered in the buried cities. A correspondent, describing the picture, says:"On a dais sits a king holding a scepter and robed in white. On each side of him sits a councilor, and behind them six soldiers under arms. The king is leaning over the front of the dais toward a woman in a green robe, who kneels before him with disheveled hair and outstretched hands. In the center is a three-legged table, like a butcher's block, upon which lies an infant, who is held in a recumbent position, in spite of his struggles, by a woman wearing a turban.

The banking-house of liishop S: Co. was twenty-tive years old yesterday. Its original partners were Messrs. Charles K. liishop and \V. A. Aldrich. In September, 1566, Mr. Aldrichsolil his interest to Mr. \V. C. Ralston, then the president of the Hank of California; Mr. Bishop becoming sole partner in the following year. In May, 1875, Mr. John 11. I'aty was admitted to partnership, and, in September, 18S1, Mr. Samuel M. Demon was also admitted, The bank opened August 17, 1858.

Stillnian, Macfarlane, Hrown, Dowsed, Deering, Fisher, Hustace and Calvert, are still in the service of the bank. Kaluna has been from the beginning, with short intervals of absence, the porter of the bank and the bank building. The first office of liishop A Co. was in the east corner of the Makee Block, where they occupied a room about 16x12, until, by a gradual absorption, the business required the use of one-half of the lower floor of the block. The establishment moved into its nresent handsome quarters in May, 1878. It had but three correspondents at the start, but has now agents in many of the principal parts of the world, the last one being Rothchilds in London. : A. Martin writes from Hilo as fol ows: "Frank W, Damon has visited Hilo. All whoknow him anil his work must be well aware that good is accomplished wherever he goes. A building has been rented here and fitted up for a Chinese meeting-house; and has beta opened with appropriate services. Rev. S. C. Damon and wife nave aided Iheir son greatly while al Hilo. On the evening of the 15th instant, there was a social gathering at the meetinghouse which was formerly occupied as a residence by Asa Clark, an old resident of Hilo. The building is large enough at present, but it is hoped a larger one will be required, and that a church and a school-room will be erected in time; at present, the school meet in the foreign church. At the social gathering, which was a large one, addresses were made by Rev. Mr. Damon, Rev. E. P. Baker, Le Loy and Frank Damon. At the close of the gathering, a good cup of tea, with cakes, were handed round. All friends believe much good will come from this effort, and the «n friends are numerous." Mr. J. �MARINE JOURNAL. ..

The shipping place is on the western side. Anchorage is good in 10 to 55 fathoms to about half-a-mile from the shore, with no outlying dangers, and as the prevailing windsare easterly, good protection is afforded to \essel». Current The current sets almost invariably to the westward, with more or less force, according to the strength of the trade wind. The latter, also, to some extent, influences its direction. The force may be estimated at alxmt a knot an hour. Prevailing winds are usually from east by north to east by south, and arc pretty legular from early in April to earl) in Decernl>er. In the other four months they are occasionally variable. Shipmasters are advised to make the island well to windward, as uiui h time may l>e lost in l>eating up against the wind and current, if once their \evsels get to leeward.

TUB DEDICATION OK THUS RI.W ( Hl/KCH. " nil letter Sumlay, .August sth, W»l clay" for ihc I htistian <hine.se ul tins district, • the occasion being the formal dedication of the new church recently erected for them at Kainpihi. The lot of land was generously donated for the MMMSfI hy the Kohala Plantation Company, while the other planters generally without particularly mentioning names— have liherally Contributed to the building fund, which ha* reached the sum of $2,765. The Chinese here and in Honolulu have given $900; $100 was donated l>y the native church (Rev. Mr. Hond's), while foreigners generally, hut more particularly in Honolulu, have contributed generously for this worthy purpose. The entire cost of the church building and the adjacent parsonage is estimated at about $3,400—having a balance of a little over $600 to l>e provided for, which, it is hoped, there will be no serious difficulty in obtaining. The church building is 50 feet long, exclusive of vestibule and pulpit recess, by 26 feet wide. The ordinary seating rapacity is three hundred. The structure is a remarkably pretty one, the plans having been drawn by Mr. C. J. Wall, the Honolulu architect, and the work executed by Mr. Wong Hee, a Chinese builder, in as workmanlike and thorough a a manner as could have been done by the mechanics of any nationality. The style of the building is Gothic. The outside sheathing is oft. and g. boards set perpendicularly, and surfaced em both sides, ns all of the framework of the house is exposed within, but surfaced, and painted a somewhat light color, with darker trimmings, while all the rafters and braces overhead are painted dark. The shingles arc laid on t. and g. boards, with the surfaced side turned inward. The building is surmounted with a neat latticed belfry. On the west end is a portico, and on the east end is an alcove forming the pulpit, thus giving the audience-room the entiro Ihmlv of the clnirce. On either side ol the pulpit are two large tablets, some 4xB or thereabouts, facing the audience, the one containing the ten commandments, and the other the creed and doxology; and over the pulpit " Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." All in Chinese. Work remains to lie done to the pastor's house and to a waiting-room for women and ohildren. The parsonage is situated makai and westward of the church. All will be surrounded by a neat picket fence, and will be finished in about two weeks. The church membership at present numbers seventy-eight, under the pastorate of Mr. Kong Tet Yin. The members are mostly from the Basle and Khenish missions in China. On the day of the dedication, the little church was fairly crammed with representatives of three races—the Chinese, the Hawaiian and the Caucasian. It was interesting and impressive to note, that several familiar hymns— such as Coronation, All Hail the lower of Jesus' Name, From (Greenland's ley Mountains undthe Doxology—were sung in three different languages at the same time. It was a matter of surprise to see so many Chinese won.e-n present. There could not have been less than tifty; all were neatly ilressed, and one of them played quite skillfully on the parlor organ with which the church is provided. Among the audience were a number of foreign ladies of the district, who evidently took much interest in the proceedings. The interior e>f the church, in front of the desk and the desk itself, had been beautifully and tastefully decorated by these ladies with flowers and evergreens. The recess behind the desk or rostrum was occupied by the Rev. Or. Damon, Rev. Mr. Bond, Mr. F. \V. Damon and the Chinese colporteurs and evangelists, Messrs. Kong Tet Yin, Tien Ten Kei and Sit Moon. Rev. Mr. I louston, of the foreign church, came in later. The following was the programme of the dedication exercises: i. Atithcm—Thr Lord is my Shtphcrd.C'hincke Choir 1883 . .

It is for this jmrjiose, therefore, thai we are now assembled, that we may separate, by becoming rites, this house for the service <>f God. "Willi gratitude to Him, that Ilehasled our hearts to undertake this enterprise for the glory of His holy name, and for the help He has afforded us in collecting the funds necessary for its completion—here we stand before Him, anil together consecrate this building to the Worship of Jehovah that is, for the reading of His holy word, the proclamation of His gospel that purities the hear: of man, the service of song to His praise, and the observance eif the symbeilic ordinances kept by the Church of Christ, and for any other service pertaining to the worship of God, " And now, we consecrate and set apart this house—nt all its several parts —this sacred desk, these seats, these walls -everything herein and belonging to this building, for the upbuilding of the kingdom of Christ in the hearts of men. And we beseech the Divine Spirit of Truth and Orace to abide here, forever and ever, and to prepare us, and all who may henceforth worship herein, for His better and holier service in the heaven to come. Hut we would not forget that this dedication has no worthy significance, unless the hearts of the worshippers are in the service, and so I call upon you all here present to give yourselves to God now, that your souls may be renewed and made obedient to God, and your bodies also, that they may be temples of the Holy Ghost, "Let us consecrate loGod, lure and ;«:.', the work of our hands and all the thoughts of our hearts, so that His kingdom niny speedily come and His will be done, by all men upon the earth, ami that God may lie gracious to — " us." In his remarks, Mr. Bond spoke of the arrival in Kohala, of the first band of Chinese Christians, who arrived as Contract laborers, and detailed the efforts to hold meetings with and secure a preacher for them and those who followed. During the services there were baptized by I ir. Damon, live men, receiving the names of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and IVtcr, and one woman Elisabeth) also the infant child of the pastor, receiving the namt of John. In the evening, the congregation in the foreign church, gave close attention to a very interesting talk by Dr. Damon concerning the Chinese in general, the condition of their missions in China, and their histoiy in these islands. He was convinced from all that he had read of history on the subject, that the "Sinim" of the Bible, of whom the prophet had foretold that they should all lie converted, was the "China" of the present day. "In conclusion," writes Mr. Sheldon, "it may be stated, that the money contributed by friends has secured the erection not only of the church and a most convenient and comfortable parsonage for the preacher, but also a large and airy school-room, to be used for a day-school and for Sunday and week-day Bible classes. There is in addition to this a pleasant room to be used in case of necessity by any sick, disabled or needy member of the postage.

'I'he regular meeting of the association fell, in the last month, on Thursday, the 16th. Owing to the absence of many of the officers, on vacations, the meeting was not held till the following Thursday. Only fourteen persons were present at the meeting, but the business done was of some interest, and was pushed forward without any dilly-dallying. Mr. C. Cooke occupied the chair, and Mr. E. C." Damon held the post of secretary pro tern. The treasurer reported that many accounts were still unpaid, and that money did not come in too fast for him to count it. Mr. P. C. Jones, Jr., reported, on behalf of the building and entertainment committees, that they had met, and agreed to hold a sociable entertainment in the hall, with ice-cream, etc., the proceeds to be devoted to the liquidation of a sum of about $500, still due for necessary alterations and repairs. Again, on behalf of the employment committee, he stated that good work was being done in this direction, as far as circumstances would permit. Mr. Burgess had been able to find employment for a good many carpenters and others, and he himself had found lucrative positions for three or four. A register was kept of all the applications for employees or employment, but it was found that the latter far outnumbered the former. The representatives of other committees had The chairman nothing to report. directed that reports should be handed in from various committees at the next meeting. It was resolved that the matter of continuing to support the Chinese colporteur should be referred to the committee on Chinese work, with instructions to report in favor of some definite action at the next meeting. The collection taken upamounted to $16.70. The vacations have taken away so many of our members that but little work seems to have been done in the past month. Those who have remained have labored faithfully in their various paths. It seems a pity that in the vacation, when so many strangers are to be seen, so little is done to ad- minister to their wants. The weekly The committee on the appointment social, at Miss Breeze's residence, on of a general secretary have written to Friday nights, supplies a means of San Francisco to our friends there, doing this to a great extent; and if it asking that a suitable man be sent were made more widely known that down.

This rest is only found in Jesus. Yet, many would seem to think that it is found in absenting oneself from church, and the due observance of those rites which draw us nearer to each other and to our God. It seems a pity that more energy could not be shown by members of the association in using the hall upstairs. It is so seldom used that it has been let for other than association purposes several times. This ought not to be. Some little entertainment once a week, a lecture on some interesting or instructive subject, a singing or elocution class, a concert —all these, and many more things, could be had with a little energy on the part of the younger members. Rouse up! Some weeks ago a professor in one of the N. E. Colleges thus wrote us: "It is regarded as a great thing here for one to have traveled so far westward as the Hawaiian Islands. lam the only person in town who has set his foot west of the Rocky Mountains.'' Of course it is all-important for professors in colleges and seminaries of learning to be at their posts in term time, still we do think that the trustees of the institutions would study the welfare of the students and the community at large if they should not only allow, but make provision for the professors and teachers to travel abroad in foreign lands. The world is not, as yet, fully explored. What a field to the Islands of Micronesia and the South Seas open for the naturalist, the philologists, the general tourist. The library and reading rooms of the association are getting better patronized every month. Habitual attendance is noticed on the part of some. This gratifying result will no doubt be largely increased when we have a good general secretary. B. Bond, M. D.—We learn that this gentleman, a son of the Rev. E. Bond, of Kohala, who has, during the past ten years, been pursuing his college and medical studies in the United States, has arrived by the last mail steamer from California, and that he expects to enteT upon the practice of his profession in Kohala. Dr. Damon has been away at the opening of the Chinese Church at Kohaladuring the month, but has returned. He reports the most gratifying results of the labors in that portion of God's Return Borrowed Books.—Some months ago some one borrowed from the editor a centennial volume of the Friend, bound in Russia. Its absence essentially disfigures the set, hence, a vineyard. speedy return is requested. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
