The New York O/tserccr has done the reading public a valuable service by reproducing from its September and November editions of 1877, in a form convenient for reading, preservation and circulation, the testimony bearing on the life, habits and death of the noted Infidel Tom Faille. If the maxim "By their fruits ye shall know them" shall be applied in this case then certainly the ruined character and miserable end of this man are a sad commentary on the creed with which his name is identified. Though Zin/.endorf has said that "the smallest truth is of more value than the reputation of him who propounds it," men will always estimate the value of a system by the character and lives of those who advocate it an well as by what it confers for good or evil on society and the world. We are not surprised that Paine's creed should have led him on to a dissolute career and an ignominious close. We call Infidelity a creed purposely, for every man ban his creed, and It is W impossible for the human mind to be devoid of a creed as of thought. Now, if the creed be that there is no God, no hereafter, no human accountability, there is nothing high or noble for which to live and aim, and what is more natural than that it should become life's motto : Let us eat and drink and be merry, fur to-morrow we die and anno more. Infidelity's creed is dangerous to the individual, the marriage relation, the home, and to society. When Thomas Paine wrote his "Age of Reason" he sent a copy of it to Benjamin Franklin ; but the philosopher wrole back telling him to commit the manuscript to the Haines. The great and the good of the past have not been on the side of Infidelity. We do not speak of the exceptions—respectable persons who forgetful of their Hible and prayer have become entangled in philosophical doubt—but as a rule the ranks of Infidelity are made up of free lovers, communists, the incendiaries that infest all largo cities, and the class generally that is considered dangerous and detrimental to the social order and well-be- ing. The whole Universe invites man ascend the height of spiritual endeavor and "the diviner the mountain" I lie more resolved let man be to climb to its .summit. Only the erring voice of Infidelity urge* him "to die in the valley, the gods being dead." Infidelity is a false light. It does not instruct man how to be of value in sending the forces of his life through all time. It forsakes him in the hour of sorest need, leaving him wrestling with the billows and trying to hold to his anchorage liy u rope of sand. THE SEVENTH PETITION. Mr. (Jkoiuik Bancroft, the historian, in an article in the Neu Princeton Review on"The Seventh Petition," writes in favor of the old rendering, deliver us "from evil instead of "the evil one." Let us say, tirst of all, that it is gratifying to'know that Mr. Bancroft takes so great an interest in searching the Scriptures. We dn not agree with him, however, in his views. As to correctness of translation, evil may be as good as « the evil one," but the word temptation" in the preceding clause naturally leads to the res:-ed and better rendering: to " " " " >< the evil one." The two, as L.vNOKsays, agree in this, thai ('hrist uniformly traces all evil in the world to the evil one. Yet here, as also in Matt, v: ;17, we prefer the revised reading. Mr. Bancroft says, The supplicant must search the recesses of his own soul and seek there for the mot of evil. But, through our revisers, if their innovation is to be accepted, the prayer becomes the prayer of pride, of a man who attributes no weakness to himself ; and instead of looking into himself for the seed of the evil which he may commit, presents his own inward nature as in itself perfect, and needing no protection but from an outside evil one. In this way the prayer of humility bocomes the voice of self-deception and pride." This we fail to see, and we fear that there may be greater danger of pride and self-deeeptio.i " in " ignoring the author of evil, against whom, as a most energetic, skillful an 1 in ilignant fiend, the sacred page frequently and faithfully tells the Christian to be on his guard. In this connection we quote from the Country Parson's words on the personality and agency of evil spirits; "How solemn a meaning does all this cast Upon that petition in our Lord's Prayer, in which He bids us say, i Lead us not into temptation, hut deliver us Many of you know that the from evil ! word translated evil there, means t/te evil one ; so that Christ speaks of the teinpta tion and the tempter as meaning the same thing : Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the tempter;' that is the meaning of tie petition: " ' — ' the prayer for deliverance friini temptation is a prayer for deliverance from Satan and his dark array. All temptation, everything, every influence that can ever lead to sin or suffering, is of him, or through him, or seconded afld aided by him." Surely the cry to God for help against and deliverance trom such an antagonist can never be "the prayer of pride, of a man who attributes DO weakness to himself.'' We believe that the rendering the evil one" in the Revised version is correct, and that Ralimi BBU ink wits right when he said, There is no devil so bad M no devil." EDITORIAL NOTES. —Rev. Mr. Lohnsbuky, who has been supplying the Foreign Church of Makawao, Maui, under engagement for three months, will cease his lalxirs there soon. —Rev. A. S. Houston, formerly of Ivohala, has accepted the pastorate of the Congregational Church in Fayette, lowa, a charming little village near the boyhood home of the writer of these lines. —We are very glad to know that the Foreign Church of Wailuku, Maui, has extended a call to Rev. Mr. BtmVUsL, and that he will accept. Mr. BIMBMi will probably leave San Francisco for his new field by the steamer sailing July 15th. —Rev. Walter Freak, the former pastor of Fort-St. Church, has just resigned his pa.slorate of the Second Congregational Church of Oakland on account of his health. Mr. Freak is now residing on a ranch near Santa Rosa, Cal. —Rev. W. I'. Furman, whose visit to the Islands two years ago in company with his classmate, Rev. Herbert Macy, is still pleasantly remembered, was ordained and installed pastor of the Congregational Church of Stockton, California, June Ist. —A letter from Dr. Washington Gladden, of Columbus, Ohio, to one of the editors of The Friend, speaks In very complimentary terms of Prof. Amasa Pra it and family as "a valuable contribution to the working force" of the First Congregational Church of that city. —Rev. G. H. Smith, formerly pastor of the Foreign Church of Kohala, Is now pastor of the Columbia Congregational Church of Cincinnati, Ohio, a Church of one hundred and forty-four members. He began work there in 1884, and is very highly regarded by his people and his brother pastors. -Rev. Thoh. Uulick, owing to climatic reasons, has been compelled to leave Las Vegas, New Mexico, where he has been laboring during the past year, and he is now in Oakland, Cal. By the last mail a call went forward to him to engage in missionary work on the Island of Kauai. The Foreign Church ot Ma- " " �kawao, Maui, has also voted to extend a cnll to Mr. Gulick to become its pastor. There is no doubt but Mr. (Htlick will accept one of these/ His coming will be a valuable addition to the working mission force in Hawaii. —Of the San Francisco pastors Rev. T. C. Noble, of Plymouth Church, is now vacating at Boulder Creek, in the Santa Cruz mountains; Dr. Beckwith, of the Third Church, spends his vacation at Benicia in exchange with Dr. Wiley; and Dr. Barrows, of the First Church, is in the East. Rev. J. K. McLean, D.1)., of Oakland, is in Europe on a six months vacation, and Rev. Dr. Dwinell, of the Theological Seminary, is in Orange, N. J., supplying Dr. Storrs' pulpit. —We are greatly encouraged at the prospect of all our Foreign Churches in Hawaii being so ably ministered unto. With Rev. E. P. Baker at Hilo, Rev. Alvin OsTUOMat Kohala, Rev. Mr. BisSELL at Wailuku, and Rev. Thos. OnLICK at Makawao(if be decides to accept that call), We Shall have a strong working force in our pulpits, and their indirect and direct Influence upon mission work among the various nationalities of our very mixed population will be helpful and'salutary. In our small population the influence of a few strong men on the entire nation is very marked. —The First Congregational Church of Portland, Oregon, which the present pastor of Fort-St. Church served for five years previous to his removal to this city, has recently called to its pastorate Rev. Mr. Clapp, for many years pastor of the First Baptist Church of Syracuse, N. Y. Mr. Clapp has been at work in Portland since the first of May, and has already Won recognition as a strong man and eloquent preacher. We rejoice that that Important and strategically located Church is so fortunate in its new pastor and has such bright prospects before it. May he long continue to serve that harmonious and growing Church in Portland. —Sixteen YOUNG men from Andover Seminary recently appeared before an Association in Massachusetts for licensure to preach the Gospel.

It also appeared in the examination that two-thirds of these young men had what is called a "gradual" conversion.

Luke 11:9—13; 10:17—20. As the prayer meeting on the 28th would come in the midst of Dr. MunHALL'S work and will probably be omitted no topic is annoiinced. The pastor requests all members of the Church who can do so to so arrange their vacations as to be present for work during the two weeks of Dr. Muniiall's stay in Honolulu. He will arrive, on the 22d of July and go on to the Colonies by the steamer due August 7th. Can you not arrange to have your annual "outing" either before or after these dates? The death of J. I'oktek Green on Sunday, June 25th, was not unexpected, and was the peaceful close of years of patient suffering;. The sympathy of all our people are with the relatives of the deceased. It is a cause of great regret that Rev. Walteii Fiieau feels compelled to decline the invitation to supply the pulpit during the Pastor's vacation. It is now hoped that Rev. Thomas Gi'licic may be secured as supply. As next Sunday is the Fourth of July, in the evening the Castor will preach a sermon appropriate to the day. —We are compelled to put an article Voluntary for violin and organ -"Traunierie'' by Mr. Olkson on "New Industrial (behuman) Arr. by Myrun Jones.

If ill this tropic clime we have no changing seasons of the year to mark the flight of time, we have Introduced into our school system the law of perio- dicity, and the whole community has in the successive terms of our various schools. This year marks an era in the history of Oahu College, ns IIOW for the first time the public have been invited to inspect the workings of the new Si-ieiililie Department, which through the generosity of lion. C. It. Bishop, the Trustees have been able to establish and equip for oifective service under the new Professor of Physical Science. Friday morning Was specially devoted to this Department, and the various classes under i'rof. L. L. Van Slyke showed how well they had appreciated these new advantages. The Laboratory Work of the Chemistry Class was especially well done. Of the fourteen members of the class to whom had been given sOUM chem c.d solution for analysis eleven completed their work In the allotted time, and all but one gave the correct result. The members of the Legislature had been invited to attend, and it is but justice to the class to say that the room was so thronged with visitors, that the work of analysis was an interest done at great disadvantage. But all were delighted with the Style and accuracy of the methods of study, investigation Each successive year will doubtless give additional facilities, in additions to the Cabinet, (now much needed) in new conveniences for laboratory work, and fuller apparatus for philosophical experiments. Of course the Bishop Hall of Applied Science was tho great attraction of the anniversary, but the ordinary class room work as it was presented on Thursday morning and afternoon, was extraordinarily well done. Each year sees Improvement in methods and attainments, not in every department, it is true, but in so many of tho various studies of the enlarged live years' curriculum, that the general improvement Is very marked. This year, the visitors were specially delighted with the gnat improvements that have been made in and explanation. the arrangement of the college grounds. The new recreation ground, now provided in the rear of the Recitation Hall, will be in readiness for use next season. The grading that has been done is only preparatory to such a comprehensive scheme of landscape gardening as will make the college grounds a most attractive drive for citizens and strangers visiting Honolulu. The whole week from Monday, Juno 21st, to Friday, June 2oth, was given up to the anniversary exercises. The first three days were devoted to written examinations. These gave a very satisfactory exhibit of the scholarship of the various classes, and the percentage marked was a decided advance on former years. Besides this marking for percentage as testing the accuracy of the knowledge acquired, the Trustees this year without any notice to the scholars that such a measure was contemplated, awarded the income of the Damon I'rize Fund to the best set of examination papers, both al the college and at the Preparatory School. The Examining Committee scrutinized the penmanship and orthography as well as the accuracy and fullness of the several sets of papers presented, and made their awards on that basis. Thus it happened that while Miss Bertha Young, of the entering class was marked 08 percent., the only one reaching that high average, Tadamichi Takechi, a young Japanese, received the first prize and Miss Marion Lyle, the second, tor the be-t two sets of examination papers though their average was marked U7 per cent, for correctness in the answers given. Mi-s Carrie P. Green received the first prize, and Miss Hessie Dickson the second, from the second and third year college classes, for the beat two sets of examination papers, while honorable mention was made of others, Elb-u H. Bicknell, and Henry J. Lyman in the first year, Anna M. Kinney in the second, Lillian Lyman in the third, and May Atherton and Helen Sorenson in the fourth. Tho first prize f< r. the best English Composition was awarded to May .Dillingham, and the second to Lillian Lyman, �Volume 44, No. 7 THE FRIEND. 6 The over-crowded rooms of tne Ptiuahou Preparatory School on Friday afternoon showed how deep an interest is taken In that school, by the parents and friends of its 100 scholars. The exercises, recitations and songs were very interesting. It is a pity that the school has mi large assembly hall, where frequent opportunity might be given for general exercises. The gymnastic drill on the play ground was well conducted, and the drum corps of small boys did themselves great credit by the support they gave to the proficiency and perfectness of the drill. The Principal, Miss Hall, bad the general superintendence, and the ease with which the whole affair was managed was a new revelation to many of a New England woman's fitness for command, U. 8. MinisterMeirill playfully suggesting that in case a Brigadier General was needed, he was prepared to recommend the Principal of the PunahoU Preparatory. The interest of the week culminated in the Presentation Exercises in Fort-Nt. Church on Friday evening. A special platform was erected on which sat the Faculty of the College, the orator of the evening, and the two young ladies who were to receive the graduating diplomas at the close of their college studies. The audience room was beautifully decorated with flowers and ferns, and in the audience were many of the leading representatives of all classes in the c< nullity. The young ladies essays were well written, well rendered, and well received, each in subject and style fittingly characteristic of the two graduate-, Miss Ainiee Mossmau treating of "Art in its Relation to Morals," and Miss Addie Peterson giving an illustrative and didactic sketch of "Quicksands," those dangerous experiences of travel and of life that enIres. Merritt gave gulf the unwary. felicitous words of counsel and encouragement, as well as approval, in presenting the diplomas to the young ladles, whose class motto hung conspicuous among the decorations: "Building for Eternity." Rev. J. A. Ciu'zan made in his oration an effective plea for a thoroughly religious education for our young people. KAWAIAHAO SEMINARY. An event of peculiar {uteres! was the annual examination of the pupils of Kawaiahao Seminary, which took place on the second of June, in Kawaiahao Church. The number of pupils during the la-t school-year at this Institution has been ninety-six, all girls, and with few exceptions, all native llawaiians, ranging between the ages of six and seventeen. The examination in Hawaiian geography, music, physiology, and other breaches, was a very thorough one, and gave evidence of efficient training on the part of the teachers, Miss Alexander and Miss Malone, and their assistants, Miss Brewer and Miss Annie Needham, and of close application to their work on the part of the pupils. An excellent programme of song and recitation was rendered, the song parts being assisted by music from a parlor organ, played by a young Chinese girl, Mary Ten Sli.ii, who, for six years, has attended this school. All (he parts, including also Bible recitations, kindergarten exercises and calisthenics, wore admirably carried out, reflecting the highest credit on teachers and pupils alike. The Princess lakelike and other members of the royal family were present. Tlte Hawaiian Parliament had adjourned in honor of the occasion. The President, Nobles, Ministers of the Crown, Representatives and large numbers of llawaiians and foreigners filled the spacious edifice. Brief addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Hyde, UN Excellency W. M. Gibson, Noble C. R. Bishop, and lion. \V. R. Castle. Many persons in that large audience must have been agreeably surprised at the excellent work that Is being done al this school, convincing all that Kawaiahao Seminary, in the excellent physical, mental and religious training which it Imparts, deserves a place in the hearts and prayers and benevolences of all the people on these Islands.

While we were under the former conditions hardly more could have been expected of the schools than thai the industrial training Imparted should bo largely elementary and manual, The Industrial necessities of the laud demanded nothing higher. It was sufficient If boys and girls were taught how to work. That In itself was a very necessary acquirement, and it has been to some purpose that industrial training in the schools has taught children Industrious habits. But new conditions are upon us, and the schools should adapt themselves to these conditions. There are industrial schools in Franco for the Instruction of pupils in sumo single branch of Industry common to the people of the vicinity. This reinforces the industry in a most desirable way, furnishing a constant supply of intelligent and skilled workers, and it gives point to the Industrial training. The intimacy which should exist between the industrial training ami the Industrial necessities is what we wish to emphasize. In our host schools, familiarity with machinery must be u prime essential In whatever industrial training is imparled. Boys, under suitable supervision, will acquire this familiarity as readily while pursuing a common-school course of study, as when apprenticed. And it will be a more intelligent familia.it.v and be productive of better skilled labor. China." We welcome Rev. and Mrs. Lechler THE WOMAN'S BOARD. We learn that it Is their to this city.

There were also present live licensed preachers, graduates of the North Pacific Theological Institute, who sat as corresponding members. Rev. A. PRli, of Lahaina, was chosen Moderator, and Rev. YV. M. Kalaiwaa, of West Hamakua, Hawaii, Scribe. The sessions were harmonious mid busy, and the fraternal Christian spirit shown in all the discussions was worthy of any similar body in any land. Two occasions of special interest occurred during the meetings: the earnest and exceedingly graphic address of Mr. F. W. Damon on Chi nit, on Wednesday forenoon, and the entertainment at the parlors of the Fori St. Church on Thursday afternoon, given by the ladies of the Woman's Hoard of Missions of the l'acific, when short addresses were made, hymns were sung, and prayer offered In no less than The closing five different languages. exercises of the lvawaiahao Female Seminary on Wednesday afternoon, and the examination and closing Rhetorical exercises of the North Pacific Theological Institute vi) Saturday forenoon and evening, were also occasions of much interest. The annual sessions of the General Sunday School Association, and the General Young People's Association Were alsu held at stated tinu-sdiiiing the week, and were very successful. On Friday, the exhibition of the o.ilni Sunday Schools occupied the most of the day. The annual sermons on Foreign Missions were delivered by Rev. W. C. Merritt In English and Rev. B. W.

Tbisgrowlh is made against difficulties. There is a struggle against destructive tendencies within and without. The greatest difficulty to be opposed is the similar power of evil to grow. An apostle has u-ed this figure of leaven to descril>e sin, saying of corruption in the churches, "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." We know how sin has a tendency to grow insidiously from small beginnings to vast forms of evil ; as the first sin of our race has grown into all the subsequent evil. Now, the nature of the gootl leaven is to oppose this growth of evil; it must work against it; it must cause fermentation, or it is not good leaven. It is God's way when he would make changes for the better, to introduce an ingredient that will cause commotion. Some of the most sublime and awful scenes of nature have occurred in transformations for the better. The Gospel is such an element, causing agitation and strife. Christ came to send a sword. There is no discouragement In this. The struggle is to establish righteousness and peace on the principles of righteousness and peace. Besides, the leaven will overcome the growth of evil. Where sin has abounded, grace will yet more abound. Greater is He that is in the Church than he that is in the world. Moreover, it is more easy to plan) and spread the leaven than to directly break down great forms of evil. Besides, the result will be a thorough and complete work, a perfect and permanent work, that Will be a glory to God Himself. These truths had a wonderful exemplification In tho beginning of Christianity Hardly anyafter the death of Christ. thing could have been more discouraging than that beginning was. The disciples of Christ, few in number, without education or wealth, or arms, or social Influence, amongst :i people ibat bad just crucified their Master, and in tin Idolatrous empire that bad trodden down every nation from Britain to the Euphrates, could not have expected to directly overthrow the great evil institutions of their day. They have been blamed for not directly opposing slavery and intemperance and forms of civil oppression. They would have only ■roused opposition by so doing and would have accomplished nothing. They were divinely led on the cmtrary to unite in prayer, as they tarried tit Jerusalem, (o their crucified and risen Master, till their souls were kindled with a new lite, and then they imparted that life toothers; and in spite of Hume and sword that life spread amongst the hovels of the poor, in the dungeons of the Imprisoned, in the catacombs and mountain hiding places, till nearly a million persons had testified of it by martyrdom, till at length it rose into the palaces of the wealthy, and at last it took the throne of the empire. A similar illustration of our parable THE FRIEND. was afforded in the modern reformation Papacy hi Europe The world has hardly seen a darker time than there was when that reformation begin ; when a corrupt Church, grown more and more corrupt through centuries and also more and more mighty in civil power, was outdoing the former pagan empire in persecution, The humble monk, who, through Gnd's help, largely awakened thai reformation, could not tit first have overt brown monasteries and confessionals and celibacy anil the p.iwcr of the Pope. He would have only destroyed himself by first attacking those evils. He did not at first even see that they were evils to be attacked. But he tit first received certain new and profound experiences of the truth of justification by faith in Christ. He Imparted those experience; toothers, and the life thereby begun grew, and soon wtis too strong to be overcome by the Pope or by Emperors, and at length largely abolished the evil institutions opposed to it, and caused the rise of better institutions and of all modern reform and progress, antl we see it still spreading like leaven and transforming the world. In considering the work of Home Missions in these Islands, we shall find divine instruction as well as cnenurageinent in these teachings of the partible of my text. 1. And first, let us more vividly realize the familiar truth taught by it that the mere influences ol civilization are not the poster of the mission work. Wo tire at a stage in this work when more advantage can be received from such Influences than formerly, and we rejoice in (his. But it is possible to overrate their importance; it 1.-> possible to largely substitute them for those Influences, in which alone our true power lies. Already the complaint is made that our past mission work has been a mistake by neglect of mere civilizing Influences. The liiv-! religious teachers of the- Hawaiian! have been criticised because | hey did not give themselves lo teaching the Industrial arts, The strange from criticism may in- remembered, which was made nut long ago by the popular writer, Moncure Conway, in which he expressed regret that instead of teachers nf severe religious truths there hail not come here persons more in sympathy with the beauty of the scenery who might have Won over the people by the attractions and beauty of modern culture and refinement. It is pleasant to think of a pagan people being astonished by the wonders of our modern industries and led on in our tropical ivlcn.s with flowers and song into the beauty of high art, but the fear would arise lest such Instruction might only tit them for doing more evil, and lest such culture might in- only a thin gauze over corruption. We will surely most gladly welcome till means in the future for civilizing, enlightening and refining the people, but when urged to make them our reliance we shall call to mind how the greatest obstacle in the past mission work in these Islands has been influences from civilized lands; Volume 44, No. 7 how the saddest thing the world over for a degraded people is, fur them, to come in contact with civilization without the Gospel ; and how almost impossible it has been to cause civilization except through Christianity. We have been Interested to hear from those who have labored as missionaries in Micronesia that the first impulses of the natives there to put on clothing and to adopt civilized life have come in religious experiences. An amusing story is told of how some gentlemen once took a plow into the interior of Africa and endeavored to teach the natives how to Use it. As it tora up more sod in a few hours than the native- could dig up in as many weeks, the natives danced with delight. The gentlemen left it and returned to the coast. In a few weeks they came hack to see how the natives bad .succeeded with it, and were surprised to find it turned upside down covered with wreaths of flowers, and that the natives were worshipping it. The natives had a deeper want than to be taught the industrial arts, and till that w-mt was supplied it was of little use to endeavor to civilize them. Like the demoniac whom Christ found amongst the tombs they could not become clothed and ill their right minds till the [inwer of Christ had come in mercy to them. Ik-sides, if it were possible to teach the forms of civilisation without the Gospel the result would be only to make abler heathen. An Illustration is afforded fn the Chinese, the most, industrious of heathen, whom, in their present state, we would not desire to be made the pattern of society. Nor can we admit that even the highest civilization ever yet seen should be our pattern,and that it wouhFbe anything earthly In comparison with that Kingdom which is as high as the heavens above our thoughts, which is the Kingdom of Heaven and of God, and which so far tis il prevails on earth is to be Heaven on earth and a glory to God himself. \L. There is also Instruction for us in the parable we tire considering, respecting what is the power in the Mission work, and we Slid illustration of this in the for liter mission work in these Islands. The history is familiar to most of us how there came a time in the labors of the first missionaries, when it was more realised :>y them than before, thai nothing hut the power of God could change the hearts oi the people ; and how they then united in more earnest prayer than formerly; and how soon some hearts of the natives were touched, and through them others, till at length such a work of God resulted as has rarely been seen since that of Pentecost. The continuance of that work of God has been the cause of all the good that has since appeared. The method of that work, to first make the tree good that it might bear good fruit, made possible till the peace and order, all the establishment of constitutional government and till the practice of the industries and refinements of civilization that have since �11 THE FRIEND. July, 1886. appeared. We are to attribute all the present prosperity and progress of these Islands, till that which makes life sale and successful and delightful here, to that method of first making the tree good. It is true that all has not been accomplished that We could wish, nor should we have expected it; but more has been accomplished than they who never saw genuine heathenism can realise. The words of John Newton respecting himself have been well applied to the present condition of this people, I tun nut what I was ; I am not what I ought to be ; I am not wliat I hope to be ; I am not what I shall be ; but by the grace of God I am what I am." The grace of God working in the hearts Of the people, as pictured in the parable of the Leaven, lias been the one cause of all the good that has ap- " peared. What has been true in the past will be We rejoice in many new methods for promoting the welfare of the people. We rejoice, for instance, in the institution of boarding-schools calculated to take the people in the pliant condition of childhood and train them to proper character and life. If we had enough of these schools conducted by the proper method to care for all the children of the people, the country might be trans. formed in tlie time of a generation- It is earnestly to besought that more wealth may be consecrated to this object, like the noble beipiest recently made lor schools to be called Kamehameha Schools." A little over a million dollars was expended in evangelizing these Islands, hardly enough for building :m ironclad or starting a line of steamers ; ami the investment has paid ; it has paid in dollars and cents, as is indicated by our present wealth ; it has paid in social and moral progress ; it litis paid in the multitude of souls that have been redeemed. A million more should now be invested for carrying forward the work begun to completion ; but it should be Invested in the proper way. The remark has often been made that our schools for llawaiians are a curse, since they seem to educate many only for indolence and wickedness. They must be so, unless there is in them the leavening process. The one thing needful in them, first, greatest, indispensable, Is the leaven of the Gospel. The same is true of all other institutions and enterprises of reform. The temperance cause, fast becoming one of the greatest movements of our age, and imperatively needed now by us, we will help on by every method in our power; but in all we do our reliance is to be on tho power of the Gospel of Christ. Our Churches and Sabbath Schools we shall seek to make as perfect in organization and working as possible; and we shall seek to assist them in their poverty according to our means; but the one thing we are to pray and strive for above forms of association and creeds and labors, is a reviving influence inspired by Christ and like leaven transforming the people. 3.

What is the relation of humanity to this unity ? 1 answer, lirst, it is intended to include within it every individual of the human family. At no time in the history of the world has the unity of the human race been insisted upon more, and never litis it received higher human sanction. Paul standing on Mars Hill, Imldly declared: "(■oil hath made of one blnod all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, ami bath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; .that they should seek tho Lord, for in him we live and move anil have our being." And the best science of to-day, studying the problem of the races of men and their origin, from a purely scientific stand-point, re-aliirms the declaration of the Apostle and tho teachings of the Bible, that all these diverse human groups are only races of one and the same species, i. c., have descended from ti single primitive pair by an uninterrupted and natural succession of families.

Hut in view of this truth we must go further and affirm in the second place, that the relation is not only one of privilege, that is, that all Stag possess Ibis Spirit of Christ, but it Is one of obligation; every man ought to receive it. To make the most and best of one's self is the hounden duly of every .soul; but alas, how feebly this duty rests upon tin-great mass of men ! How few comparatively recognize that obligation, although their failure to do so does not in the least lessen their responsibility. And this brings me in the next place to say, that, because of the bond which unites the whole of humanity ; because of the possibility that each human being may PSceive the grace of (Iod; because of the obligation which nobis each one of them in its grasp ; because of the tremendous import of this life in its Influence upon the eternal life; and because our Savior died for all men and commands us to teach them the way of salvation, there rests a fearful responsibility upon the Church to carry the (inspol and present it with apostolic beseeching to every creature. Antl the Church, the body of Christ, is composed of many members upon each of whom rests a due share of this responsibility. Bach of us has a just part of this work for which we must give account. God, in giving us the knowledge of these, and related truths, lays it upon our individual consciences to do our individual duty. We, for our own highest good, need lo know and feel it; the great mass of men lying in sin, and want, and wretchedness, need that we know, and feel and do our duty; Jesus, who died for all men, and (iod, the Father, who gave Him to become the world's Savior, need that we be honest and earnest in the performance of our individual duties, for they share with us the honor of participating in the redemption of the world, lying in sin and in need of a Redeemer. There is no safety for humanity except in redemption by Jesus Christ. There is no hope, for the world except in a real, a vital union with Jesus Christ. Look in any other direction and the horizon is black with despair. Were I not a Christian I should be a pessimist. There is for me no middle way. There must be a real, a genuine unity of faith, in which tdl men are swayed by the one Holy Spirit of (iod, in which a common but supreme love holds every heart true to .its highest self; by which the inner nature is changed, absolutely, receiving upim it the renewed impression of (iod's image and the seal of the Holy the essentials of faith named in our text, while there is freedom and liberty accorded in the non-essentials of faith and life. And bear in mind always that this unity does not contemplate uniformity, but desires diversity in the details of ser- vice and activity. Differences and antagonisms have been the prominent factors In making the world's history of a dismal, suffering past. Unity and friendship are demanded as the factors of a truer, a nobler, a richer future. The relation of humanity to this unity is (hat of ability and obligation to receive and accept its faith. The relation of this unity to humanity is that of bounden duty to carry the message of salvation to every unsaved soul, wheresoever that soul may be. 111. And now, in the third place, wo come to the study of the present condition of the world, from which 1 hope to show you how the indications of the present should emphasise our faith in the promise of the Qospal. Hi a series of articles just published in The independent, written by Bishop fc'ostSl of the M. 1-:. Church of America, entitled (he "Outlook of the World,'' in burning words be litis pictured the condition of the heathen. He says : accepted as simple statements of fact, •'That the heathen world was ethically as well as religiously, at the point of dissolution; that it had become as bankrupt in morals as in faith ; and there was no power at hand," i. c., within itself, "from which restoration could proceed." Against this frightful wickedness, enthroned in the highest places of power, tis wellas possessing all tho lowest ranks of society, came Christianity, a now and unknown religion, undertaking to change aid vitally renew the moral life of the capital and the lOmpire. Canon l-iirrar has drawn the contrast of Paganism and Christianity at that time in these words: " i In- morality of Paganism whs, on itnowuoon- Il whs tentative where (airisit whs dnu and partial where I'lirisiiaiiity is bright iinil complete ; it was inadequate to rouse the oarelessness of mankind, where (Ihitstianity came with an imperial and awakening power it gave only it rule, where('hriai.ianity supplied a principle. les.ion, insufficient. iiunity is HiuhoritittiT*; ; I need not rehearse the story of the triumph of Christianity in the struggle, but ask you again to listen to Mr. Hockey from his «« History of European Morals:" " 111Irist i nutv i-'iinpieri-d. beo iusm it united with ils distiuclivo Uaobiufl a pure and noble IfSaMSOf ethics, and proved itself citpitble of realizing it in iiolioii ; it produced mine heroic actions and formed mora upright men than any other creed j it transformed thi'obaraotirof multitiideg, vivified '* The c inapioaoua fa iture of lieatnenisui la povthe cold heart hy a new enthusiasm, redeemed, reerty.

This picture presents to you the gar- their personal Savior. Therefore, neither nor nered fruits of paganism. This is what the degradation and wretchedness, of be done seem vaslness the work to the the centuries it has accomplished during faith in a final triumph ; of the past. Hut the picture is not yet to me to forbid iv aching while on the other hand, the achievegained lead mo to expect still greater victories for this religion of Jesus. Its vitality is greater, its standards higher, its plans of conquest more far-reaching to-day than at any time in its history. "Christ for the world," is the motto upon the banners of the Church of the nineteenth century. And I, for one, believe that just that, and literally that, is to be the final goal, her worK will not be accomplished until "every knee shall lxiw and every tongue shall confess that Christ is Lord to the glory of (iod the Father." And that day I believe will come during the present worldage, nay that it is hastening on with accelerated speed. Nay, more, 1 believe that cent urios shall follow centuries, charnose of the abysses of depravity, tbe hideous and acteriaed by "the whiteness of holiness, intolerable cruelty, the hitherto unini luined ex- upon an earth, tilled with righteousness Spirit. travagances of usiueless bi-t, that were then ruan This is the unity Christ desires, and ■ tested on Ihe Palatine. i In- hanient I In- Emperors." and love." The servaut of Jehovah the strength of this unity will be seen in While the conclusions of Uhlhorn are shall see of the travail of his soul and • Let these nations alone and the worst has not been reached; left to themselves, each century would see them only the deeper in woe. There is no hope in paganism. "It hangs tn-duy as it has ever hung, a ponderous weight about the neck of any people, sinking them deeper and deeper into the night of death." And we stand here in the presence of a terrible truth which should be carefully noted, via.; this condition of tilings is a development, unique and awful, but which lias been paralleled in ancient times, in the then foremost society of the world ! Let me quote you the words of Mr. Leeky concerning the condition of life at Home when Christianity came to that great city. He says : "The pages of Suetonius remain an eternal wit lull. ments already " �14 shall lie satisfied." The work will not behalf done, nor will the infinite Head of the Church be satisfied with less than will satisfy his finite disciples. Another source- from which I draw increased faith, and hope, and courage, is found in the actual growth of Christianity during the present century. The number of Christians—using that term in its ordinary signification—at the close of the fifteenth century htis been estimated at 100,000,000. One century later, or 1800 A.!>., at 125,000,000. In 1700, at 150, 000,000. In 1800, at 200,000,001). You will note that three centuries were required to add the second hundred million to its number. Hut during the first forty years of this century the third hundred million was added, and in 1880, the total number of Christiana was estimated at 410,000,000, or 210,000,000 were added to the number of Christians during the first eighty years of the century, while the entire population under Christian governments was estimated at nearly 700,000,000, or almost one-half the population of the globe. This includes, of course, the Roman Catholic, Greek Church, and Protestcnt Governments, and was divided, approximately, as fellows: BottWl Catholic, 108,000, 000 ; (jireek Church, 07,000,000 ; Protestant, 420,000,000; the great gain being made under Protestant Governments. We, thinking our lorni of belief represents most nearly the mind and will of Christ as revealed in the Bible, tire therefore glad, and are strengthened in our faith by seeing the increase indicated by these figures. But the> full import of this is to be seen only when taken in connection with other great facts. When the nineteenth century Opened, the facilities of communication between the nations of the world and within themselves were tedious and few compared with to-day. The application of steam to such uses I'pon the ocean was just beginning. only sailing vessels were to be found. It was not till 1807 that Fulton applied steam to river navigation, and not until 1810 that ocean steam navigation was successfully inaugurated. To-day iron and steel steamers traverse every sea and touch at every sort of any siss or importance in all the world, affording rapid and safe transit between all nations. It was not till 1830 thatrailroads were made successful, hut now on every continent and in every civilized land they have been multiplied until almost all internal communication is carried on over these lines. It was as late as 1844 that telegraphic communication was made a success. But now men talk to each other from the ends of the earth, under sea and ocean, and over continents. Consider the extent of the inventions and discoveries in every department of labor, which have followed upon the application of steam as a means of power. I cannot stop to even enumerate them and I mention only the steam printing-press by means of which, the printed page has Volume 44, No. 7 THE FRIEND. been sown broadcast over the world. ding, now in his 84th year, associated Never, in any century of the world's his- with the Society and its workers for a tory, has physical progress or intellectual long and must useful life, and Win. A. advance and activity been oomparable to the present. And have you ever thought to connect the religious awakening at the close of the eighteenth and opening of the nineteenth centuries with the need of the century ? Was it not God's gracious preparation, anticipating in his own good way and time the increased demand for that moral and spiritual power which should hold in equilibrium the mighty conflicting forces about to he let loose UDOS the earth ? In the advance of the sciences along their different lines of investigation there have been sharp and prolonged conflicts bet ween material and spiritual forces. And it seems to me if these had found the Church as it was a century earlier, the injury to morality and religion would have been almost Immeasurable. Not that they would have been driven, ultimately, from the field, but that they might have seriouslydelayed the Incoming of the perfected Kingdom of God. But Christ is upon the throne of the universe ; and in this wonderful and timely preparation tin- deepest need of the world was met and the Church was aroused to a sense of her duty so as to wrest for God and truth every discovery, Improvement and invention, and use them for the spreading of his trutli and the hastening of the coining of his kingdom upon earth. In this 1 see cause lor the proloundest gratitude and praise, while the spectacle of the ChUrch winking in closer fellow- ship and unity and with augmented power strengthens my faith. And as the Spirit of God, in the morn of creation, moved upon the fact) of the waters when the earth was without form and void; and at the command of God, "Lei there be light," the light shone forth, and, step by step, the earth put on form and beauty and life, so now, in these later days, this morn of the Kingdom of <iod among men, the Spirit of God moves again upon the face of earth, possessing the stunt- power as at the first creation, and we may believe that order ami beauty and spiritual life will cover the whole earth, and till men be brought into that unity of faith which will form one body, having one Spirit, one Lord, one Goil and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all. FRDOM.HALL. By mail of June loth the Trustees of the Bethel Union Church received from the Directors of the American Seamen's Friend Society the deed of conveyance to the former, by the latter Society, of the Bethel property. In the accompanying letter closing this transaction, which has been pending for nearly two years, are the following passages of deep interest to friends of the work for seamen: "Among the members in attendance at this meeting were to be noticed our venerable friend the Bey. Dr. John Spaul- Month, Ksq., many years connected, as of the Board, with the work of the Society, and greatly aiding by his words and gifts in achieving under God its acknowledged usefulness ; and when these brethren in their turn undertook to express their feelings at the intelligence (of the burning of the Bethel) which your letter communicated, you would have been assured if present, that Honolulu and the cause of sailor evangelization there, was as strong with us tis it ever was ; and our readiness was to be relied uptg) for necessary aid in the time of your emergency. President and a member "I hope you tire finding yourselves by this providence with a door of usefulness open before you wider than ever. Be so kind as to write me at your early convenience, and 1 hope you will lie able to assure me of a strong heart and a quickened and encouraged faith, and the sustaining presence and blessing of llim whose promise is, "1 will nerer leave you, but be your Guide and Helper to the end.

Damon on Chaplain's lane. The society's receipts for the past year have been $887.40. The expenditures for the sick and needy at the Queen's Hospital have been 5447, leaving, after other expenditures, a balance on hand of 1100.10, The officers re-elected are Mrs. S. ('. Damon, President ; Mrs. Alex. Mackintosh and Mrs. J. S. McGrew, Vice Presidents ; Mrs. 11. M. Whitney, Secretary; Mrs. S. 10. Bishop, Treasurer; -Mi-, s. Dowsett, Directress. The society was organized in lStfiJ with fifty-two members, in the same house where the meeting was held this year. At the afternoon meeting of the ladies three of the original members were present : Mrs. S. C. Damon, Mrs. 11. M. Whitney and Airs. A. J. Cart- wright. In me evening a large gathering filled the house. 11. R. H. the Princess Liliuokalani being among those.pre-ent Mr. F. W. Damon read brief extracts from old numbers of Thk Fkiknd, bearing on the rise and progress ol the soi iety. This was followed by an excellent literary and musical programme. Prof. Locke Richardson contributed a recital of "King Robert of Sicily" with Hue effect. The guests the*) partook of a collation that had been provided and soon thereafter dispersed to their several homes, all hoping, we ha,ve no doubt, that the society may be blessed in the good work which it has carried on so successfully these thirty-four years.
