Our feelings prompt us to pay him a tribute of affectionate respect. "A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children," the inheritance of a good name and a well spent life. This priceless legacy Dm Baldwin has left behind, for he was in the best and truest sense :<a good man." His entire trust for Immortality and glory in the world to come was in the mercy of God through the mediation of Jesus Christ He was a man of prayer and lull of faith. As the live is known by its fruit, so did the power of OUT holy religion impress itxli on Dr. Baldwin's life. To his faith were added virtue, temperance, godliness and kindness to ail men. Blessed are the pure in heart: " shall see they for God." With u mind disciplined mid enriched by study and reading Ids conversation was ever entertaining and Instructive. They who knew nun best recognised in him singleness of heart and refinement of sentiment.

He delighted in adapting himself to the feelings of the young and knew how to lind his way to their hearts. His grandchildren truly loved him. His last days and hours were soothed by the unwearied kindness and tender assiduities of his children who deemed it a privilege to minister to his comfort, to watch over him through the progress of decay, to hear his hist words, smooth his pillow and to close his eyes in the sleep of death. The places which have known this honored and beloved man shall know him no more. He loved 'the habitation of God's house.' Oil the day before his departure to the rest that remained! for the people of God he said to us, " 1 shall not be at church to-morrow, but all is well." Never, except from necessity, was be absent from his place In the house of tire Lord. And now as each Nabb.iih morning returns we miss his presence, and his frequent words of encouragement after the service. Yet we rejoice to fhlnk that his spirit, sustained here by the hopes and promises of religion, has g no to he with the Savior fo unite In noti of worship and praise Wittl the spirit.-- uf the just made perfect. May flic contemplation of the character and life of this man of God help us to a holy emulation, that by imitating the faith and eon i iteut walk of the righteous we also, through faith and patience, may Inherit the promises. If wo arc correct, which we doubt not, in our wayof thinking, thepending issues are three in number, und they Me these: Ist, To license the sale of opium on the Mauds. 2nd, The Ten million dollar Loan, and Brd, The Lottery Bill. Now we submit that the three (riven points are each and all of vital importance, and we reiterate our expression of surprise that the discussion of Ihein should have been so studiously ■voided. Had they been brought forward one .side could, for example, have elucidated why the Chinaman and the Hawaiian should have Opium, and the other side might have portrayed the disastious effects that must necessarily ensue, especially to the Hawaiian race, from the Introduction and free use of opium on the islands. Then as to the Ten Million Dollar Loan | it was evidently incumbent on (he party that favors this plan to explain to the public why such a loan is desirable, and it would have been exceedingly gratifying if the matter could have bean laid before us in detail In boom such way as this : Amounts needed. $ Obieota. 1, Few 2, Cor 3, Etc., Etc., Iiital $10,000,000 Then the other party might have looked into these successive items and condemned the whole thing on the principle, lie that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing and on the beautiful utterance of the lamented Artemus Ward, Pay as you go, and if you can't pay don't go ; —or approved the scheme in part or in toto. Then as to the Lottery Bill—one party might have attempted to unfold why Hawaii should import gambling from abroad, and the other party could have pictured In vivid colors the appalling evils that must inevitably result from the adoption of such ■ measure. The discussion of these points, we repeat, would have commanded interested attention. Should it fie said that these questions will arise later, to-Wit when the Legislature shall be in session, then we ask why have they not been brought forward and discussed and candidates nominated who shall be known to the public to be eitheradvocates or opponents of these measures. To this, it seems to us, the voters of this Kingdom had a right, that they might vote on matters of seme significance and vote intelligently. Why these questions should have been so carefully hidden from the public view must to the thoughtful observer be almost as great a mystery as that on which we wrote in our September number -Jtho origin of volcanic heat. —What the Church seeks to build up it is the mission •of the saloon to pull " " takes up the dolly publications among us and peruses their morning and evening deliverances we would be pardoned for saying that our limited supply of Information on the political affairs of this Kingdom is not appreciaWe cheerbly augmented thereby. fully concede that such matters as tinaforesaid papers bring to the front are often handled ably and interestingly, but we regret to say that with the exception of the currency question they are mutters of no vital importance. Personal Abuse, of candidates or other gentlemen, is at no time instructive or edifying. It has puz/.lod us for some time why it is, that with an election and a session of the Legislature in prospect our dailies arc so full of non-essentials antl so strangely quiet on the presumably main points at Issue. And tin; same objection we i'oluctanily iccord against the political urntors on lx>th sides. We art! of the impression that the campaign, hail it been conducted with an intelligent presentation of the real questions at Issue, would have commanded general attention and interest. For sueli presentation have we been patiently waiting, but it has not been forthcoming. down. one 3 THE FRIEND.

The morning unii.n meetings during the Week of Prayer were largely attended anil full of interest. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was celebrated Jan. :trd. Two persons united on profession of faith. On that first Lord's day evenlngof the New Year the pastor introduced the Praise and Gospel Service. In addition to the Church choir he was assisted by a chorus choir of young people. Every chair on the huge platform was occupied. The sermon was an earnest presentation of the Gospel; the object to win souls. Every Sunday evening since, the service has been conducted in this way—a success from the beginning, there being at once a marked increase in the attendance. We noie with pleasure that similar services are held elsewhere, the Occident saying of Howard street Church, San Francisco, "The Sunday school became a great choir and conducted the singing. The novel service was not only enjoyed, but was also very profitable." The Chinch Social on the -J. Ist was well attended, and all reported to have spent a pleasant evening.

SHALL THE OPIUM TRAFFIC BE LICENSED ? Bottom or Tke I'i;ikni>:—By your request i contribute a few thoughts noon this question, an affirmative answer to which is already announced authoritatively as the policy of the Government. If the present administration can prevail to this end upon the Legislature, a law will he enacted at the coming .session to repeal the present prohibitory statute, and to authorize the unlimited sale of the drug to all consumers, hy dealers wlio shall pay high license fees. Such repeal of prohibition, and licensing of the sale of opium lias been strenuously urged, and still more forcibly opposed in many previous Legislatures. A pamphlet dated May 7th, 1881, written by Hon. W. R. Castle, and containing a forcible array of facts and arguments against the license, was effective in preventing the repeal of the present law at the last session. Such a discussion of the subject should ho studied by every thinking person who desires the welfare of our population physically and financially as well as morally. There are very many such who are anxious to diminish if possible the evil of tbe consumption of opium by the people of this country, but who regard pro- hibition as Ineffective, and who perhaps feel as if the working of tht; law against smuggling and using the drug wis too severe and unequal in its action while failing to reach the evil. We think such persons are mistaken, and t(»ut the consumption is vastly less than if the sale and Use wero lawful and open. Under the present law, tbe possession of opium is unlawful, and any Chinese peddler or other person having it can lie promptly punished. Such persons are compelled to conduct their traffic with extreme secrecy and caution. They sell but little to natives, who are liable to disclose their secrets. Opium joints or divans are impossible to any great extent. Thus while it is true that those who have formed the opium habit, mostly Chinese, can procure it if they are set lo do so, although at some risk to both seller and consumer, it Is also true that few new victims to the terrible disease are made. While thus far it does noi appear that the malady can be stamped out by a prohibitory law, it is clear that its ravages are closely circumscribed. Undoubtedly it Is painful to read the frequent record of heavy lines and Imprisonment Inflicted especially upon seamen who smuggle the drug often with small sense of wrong-dobrg. it is even more painful to think of the torturing agony ni an opium user committed to prison and deprived of his Indispensable relief from utter misery. Probably there is hardly any form of evil Indulgence again*t which lovers of mankind arc called to contend which oilers more difficulties in the contest. The drug itsell' being a -mall and compact solid, unlike alcohol, oilers peculiar facility for illicit Introduction and transportation, i in I bow is open traffic under a license going to diminish the amount imported and consumed V It mud necessarily enormously increase the consumption. The opium dealers are certain to make the utiiio.-l efforts to extend the habit to a many persons as possible, in order to increase their sales, and they will have all legalised facility for doing so. The resuit will be especially calamitous to natives, who are unaccustomed to the control and regulation of appetite. The fascinating opium trance, once experienced, will as surely as fate lure on the unhappy Hawaiian* to the rapid waste of health, industry and property, early to die, as so many did when opium walieeiised before, in tbe fearful miseries which follow this habit. There are many claiming to be statesmen and financiers, who regard it as sound financial policy to enrich the public treasury by the proceeds of opium licenses, expecting that 1100,000 or more may thus be realized annually by the government. It should be considered however, how much larger a sum would bo lost to the productive industry of the country by the large number of persons whom the opium-habit would incapaci- Volume 44, No. 2. late for labor, anil by the inferior and untrustworthy work of opium-users. Kvoiy planter and employer of numbers of Chinese is familiar with this oiled of the drug, anil hence the influence of the planters, both white and Chinese, has always been a unit against licensing the truffle, and for maintaining the present prohibitory statute. To this great loss from demoralised industry, must be added tbe large aggre- gate sum of money paid by the numerous consumers for their doses. This must in any rase be several limes the amount received by the Government for duties and licenses. These many hun- dreds of thousands will be absolute loss Kingdom, without return of personal well being or increase of invested values. Vet again we have to add the great losses from crimes caused by opium, especially the depredations upon property in oriler to secure to the exhausted victim tin; mains of supplying his appetite. Altogether as a purely financial scheme, the loss is large ; and the gain small. While we have ;i large body of industrious and orderly Chines.' residents, we must remember that there also a multitude of Chinese who make the Hawaiiaus their peculiar prey. The Übiquitous Chinese prowlers, who carry liquor ami ilebaui hery io every nook and corner, will \\iion opium is licensed, search for customers for opium Bmokiug in every house in the land. Shall any facility lie added to, or any cheek be withdrawn from the destroying work of these all pervading ami wily miners of the Hawaiian people '.'

We know how many of these are caught by the vice of alcoholism. Hut to most, this does not have the seductiveness or the tenacity of the opium trance which laps its victim in a brief delight, to drug him soon into mental contusion and moral wreck and drop him at last into Mime of the deepest miseries that man's mind and body experience. It is evident that in this drug we here have a most subtle anil formidable enemy to wrestle with. Shall its buhl be facilitated,.or shall we not rather aim to make it- prohibition mure guarded and stringent ? This question is in the Interest _ of human deliverance from suffering, of industrial prosperity, and of moral well- being. S. B.

In those primers, the German .mil French, the languages arc studied through medium of the English language ; but with us the Engllab language must be studied without any very efficient help from the vernacular spoken by our pupils. Besides, as a rule, German and French arc studied by those whose mental drill has given them the power to correlate principles and to grasp the idiomatic construction of a language. Whereas, our work is to teach one of the most difficult languages known, to children whose mental grasp is a very uncertain quantity. What Is needed is a language primer comprising a vocabulary of common colloquial words with such helps in the way of idiomatic construction and rules for word-forms as will be actually indispensable in the formation of English senSuch a vocabulary is already in use in many of our prominent schools,* and a little primer of language rules which has been in successful u-e ful- tences. some time at the Ililo Boarding School is in manuscript ready for publication whenever there shall be sufficientdemand and encouragement.

Quito actual Information concerning Hawaiian antiquities could be gathered from a Beacon street boy playing on Boston Common within a stone's throw of Somerset street, as from the average Hawaiian boy in our island schools. It is apparent to the most thoughtless that there are lost arts in Hawaiian national history. And it may be seriously asked whether there is not great likelihood that there will be a lost past likewise. No Hawaiian school-boy should growup in Ignorance of the past. He should know all that was noble and worthy in the lives of Ins ancestors, lie should learn about the heroic endurance and as much merciful spirit sometimes exhibited the midst of atrocious cruelties. in He -hould road thestory of X amakaim ikai and catch soinetiug of the spirit of enterprise shown in thoseadventurous voyages to Ilaupokane.

Williams, but took the last two years of the college course at Vale, graduating iv the class of 1821. Then he spent several years in teaching at Kingston, Catsi kill and Durham, X. Y. While teaching, he also pur.-ued the study of medicine, Intending to become a physician. Hut the earnest preaching of Rev. Dr. BETII WILLIBTON, pastor if the chinch in Durham, deepened and intensified the religious convictions that had been aroused In him during his college course. Uniting with the church in IS_<>, he was induced to give up his original choice of the medical profession and to enter Auburn Theological Seminary where he graduated In 1829. During his last year in the Seminary he offered himself to tbe A. 11. C. F. M. for the foreign field and was accepted. By direction of the Prudential Committee he attended the course of medical lectures iv Harvard Medical School, and took his diploma as M. I). Assigned to the Sandwich Islands Mission, he sailed from New Bedford, Dec. US, l8:to, in the ship New England, with Rev. Sheldon Dibbus, Rev. Reuben TINKER, and Mil.

Positive in his convictions of truth, and firm in his adheraiiee to the cardinal truths of the Gospel, he was cautious in admitting applicants to church fellowship and responsibilities, and so Impressed upon the I.ahaina Church the prominent characteristics ol stability and reliability. Dr. Baldwin was physician as well as preacher, and the only missionary physician for all the families on Maui and Molokai, Du. Chaimn having left Lahalna in 1836 after only three years' residence. In those days, every missionary was expected to prescribe, as far as his knowledge and ability would serve, for the many and varied bodily ailments of the Hawalians in his district. A regularly educated physician like 1)H. BALDWIN had still more of tins work to do, and his services and skill were called Into requisition at all hours of tin: day and night. When the small-pox ravaged the islands in 1863, Da. Baldwin was almost übiquitous in his labors for the prevention or cureof this terrible malady. So energetic and successful was he, that out of the 10,11(10 who died, there were only about 266 fatal cases on the whole island of Maui. The spread of leprosy among the llawaiians awakened his deepest solicitude as soon as the nature oi the disease was known. He eagerly sought for some treatment that would alleviate if not eliminate the disease. The account which he prepared of the origin, treatment and spread of this dread disease, has been of f,rreat value and Interest to other physicians. Doth from the nature of his professional studies and from his own personal conviction of duty, lie was strenuously opposed to the use of stimulants and narcotics. \le made a special study of the ill effects of tobacco and liquor. An essay he wrote took the prize offered at one time in the United States for the best article on that topic. He was appointed by the Mission to prepare a tract on intoxicating drinks, which was published in 18:57. Down to the very last hours of his life he was an earnest advocate ol all measures looking towards the diminution or suppression of the liquor traffic. Among the last tilings he did was to prepare for distribution a sermon by REV. Du. Talmaiik on"The use of opium and tobacco," which he had reprinted in Honolulu at ids own expense. After twenty years of continuous mission work, his failing health necessitated a season of rest, and during 1850 and 18.">7 he visited the United States. On his return he resumed his work at Dihaina, which lie continued till 1869, when on account of his wife's health, as well as his own, lie was obliged to relinquish, and since then he has resided in Honolulu. Ho was appointed one of the instructors in the Theological school, cst tablished in Honolulu in 1870. lie had for his department Biblical Ujiul Kcelesi-. ustical History.
