Some China at a more joyous season in missturbulent spirits, probably animated ionary effort; but I believe it is even more by a desire for plunder than for more profitable to be here now, to see any other reason, attacked a number of the " inner-side " of missionary life— to see what difficulties and trials they are called iqion to bear, and to see what it means in very deed for a Chinaman in China to confess Jesus Christ as his Saviour. This is a time of searching anil sifting. The native Christians are subjected to the scoffs and jeers and insults of their heathen neighbors. On the streets they are pointed out as the "followers of Jesus," with derision and are re; arcled as false to their nation, their ancestors, tnc divinities of their native lan 1. They are told that the foreigners are to be driven away, their Christian guides and teachers to be removed, that they are to be slain and the faith they have learned to love more than life is to be stamped out in the Land of China. Much of this is idle talk and yet to the trembling little flock it seems terribly real. And, indeed, there is a reality in it, after all, and should war and confusion arise here the infant Christian church, hated by the heathen, might be called upon to witness, even to sealing its testimony with blood, to its faith in the Lord Jesus. Here in this great and pleasureloving city, with all its wealth and quaint oriental picturesqueness, I have found nothing so attractive as the little gatherings of humble Chinese Christians. Most of them are gathered from the lower classes of society. Here, as has almost always been the case, Christianity begins to work from the common people," upwards. The cultured and wealthy classes reject the religion of Jesus with scorn and contempt, as the Pharisees of old. The middle classes are absorbed in the cares ofthis world and see in the new faith only a foreignizing tendency. Here and there, mainly from the mass ot the people, and from the traveling millions, a few have been gathered, and are the firstfruits of that mighty spiritual harvest, which is yet to be brought in. In these days the Christians have been brought near to each other. Though their way is beset by peculiar and harrassing difficulties and dangers, they do not falter. I know there are people in the world who doubt that a Chinaman can become a sincere Christian. I wish they might see the Chinese Christians of Canton in these days, and I feel as if their mouths would be stopped. Here in China, Christianity has laid before it the mightiest task which it has had to grapple with since it conquered the heathenism of the Roman Empire, but it will be victorious, as it " �19 THE FRIF:ND, MARCH, 1884.

I sometimes walk down from where I am stopping to visit him. I walk through the very heart of Chinese life and heathenism to find him.

Head Honolulu Social Science AssociaJanuary 14, 1884. Honolulu: Thos. G. Thrum, Printer, 1884, Pp. lb. the lie/ore tion, Judge Judd has rendered a valuable service to the community in this clear and convincing statement of some of the fundamental principles of finance, and their application to the monetary condition of the islands. He shows that one great difficulty in the treatment of our financial problem is the general and deplorable ignorance of our business men in regard to the well established tacts and principles of political economy. "One class, who believe that there is something peculiar in the circumstances of these islands to take us out of the operation of the well ascertained laws of currency, and who are endeavoring t" solve the problem by reference only to the facts which are within range of their own horizons and the other class, who say that currency should not be meddled with, for no one tan understand its laws." The recent issue of the Kalaknua silver coinage, dollars, halves, and quarters, to the amount, it is said, of $1,000,000 is altogether beyond the requirements of a population of 60,000 with an export trade of only $.s.,?oo,ooo annually. The limit of issue of silver sub : sidiary coins, according to the Mum tary Convention of the latin nations ot Europe, was fixed at $1.20 per capita. That would Ix-' $X6.000 for our nun "The polyglot silver current y," whii h we have had forthe last fewyears has driven all goM coins out of Circulation. The large excess of exports over imports, the latter stated at $4,975,000 for ISX2. ma) give seeming ease in money matters but the high price ofexchange tells a different siory. We cannot pay lot our Postal Money Orders on the United States in our Ailuau silver. We might have cowry shells for the business of out own home markets ; that would be cheap money, surely. Hut when we settle our accounts with foreign dealers, we must pay in gold, the one accredited currency of the world.

It is so utterly inconsistent with itself, and so at variance with all sound financial principles, it can only be compared to the crazy patch-work quilting, which the ladies are now bus\ ing themselves with, as the latest style of "fancy-work." Judge Judd argues dearly and wisely for the limitation of silver to its use as a subsidiary coin. He would fix ten dollars as the limit ot the legal tender of silver in payment of debts.
