ANGLO SAXONIZING MACHINES.
This term is coined by Canon Wilberforce. He says that the United States of
America is the largest existing machine of
that kind. His meaning is plain. That
country possesses English institutions,
language and civilization. It has these in
such force nnd activity that it has so far
been able to assimilate the enormous mass
of immigration pouring in from Europe,
It has been able generally in one generation
10 convert all those different classes of
people into English-speaking people with
much of Anglo Saxon ways of thinking and
acting. None of the other countries, sprung
from England, such as Canada and Australia—receive and assimilate large bodies of
other races. As America is the greatest
English nation, so it is the great converter
of all sorts of men into ultimate English
men in speech and general customs.
Now to go from the great to the small,
we wisli to point out that Hawaii is gradually getting into working order as a small
but somewhat effective " Anglo-Saxonizing
machine." Probably no well informed
and thinking man among us has any other
expectation for the future of the Hawaiian
Islands than that they will be the home of
a population which will be at least, Englishspeaking. And to our mind, the universal
use of the language will carry with it much
of the exercise of English thought and practice of English customs.
English is already settled in its place as
the controlling language of the country It
is the governing language of the laws and
of the courts. It is supreme in business,
and in journalizing. Our public schools
are taught in English, except a few primary
schools in back districts which are still
taught in the Hawaiian tongue. The Portuguese if they care to have their children
schooled at all, want them to be taught in

as well as having been politically misguided, we are able to avow a 'strong per.
sonal regard for him, and sympathy with
him as in great troubles, and a most
hearty desire that a cordial and honest
change of attitude and conduct may hereafter earn for hI*lll' the respect of honorable
men. We must not judge any King of
Hawaii as we would a prince of European
training.
Although enjoying a good
English education, it must be remembered
that like other Hawaiian chiefs, he had his
birth and training under the overmastering
and indescribably corrupting influences of
the Hawaiian Royal Court. This Court is
an ancient and imposing institution. It
has come down from the "great old
houses and fights fought long ago." In
the ways and practices of its hereditary retinues are embedded the settled customs
that grew among and largely embodied the
profound vilenesses of heathenism and the
sorceries of the old established priestcrafts.
Christianity during the days of missionary
triumph, repressed but never extirpated
this powerful and poisonous brood. Neither
Kalakaua or any of his predecessors is responsible for the existence of this court atmosphere of corrupting and heathenizing
influence, except in the degree that they
may have cultivated and promoted it. But
it has been none the less destructive to the

white foreigner. On&lt; c more, the Hawaiian
throne has been in extreme peril, probably
more imminent than ever before, but has
had respite. We have a profound conviction that God still has great good in store
for the Hawaiians. Not for a long period,
to our minds, has the prospect of their social and moral progress appeared more
hopeful that it does now, since the tendencies towards pagan retrogression have
received a stern rebuke, and the path of
forward civilization is agiin invitingly open.
God save the King and People of Hawaii:

THE HAWAIIAN' REVOLUTION.
'The following is intended to form a brief
and dispassionate statement of the leading
It is
facts connected with the late crisis.
designed mainly for the information of
friends abroad who may depend upon the
FRIEND for their knowledge of what occurs in these Islards.
'The results of the change are chiefly
embodied in the new Constitution, which
was signed and sworn to by the King, and
proclaimed as thenceforth the fundamental law of the land, on the sixth day
of July, 1887. 'The new follows the general form and language of the preceding
constitution, but is changed in several important particulars, most of them reducing
the previously very great powers of the
Sovereign. The personal dignities of the
King remain unimpaired; his governing
power is radically changed. 'The fol owing
are the principal changes of importance.
Article 20 renders all officers and employees of the government and contractors
with the government, ineligible to election
to the Legislature. It also renders all
members of the Legislature during the
whole term for which they were ele&lt; ted
incapable of appointment to any other office than that of a member of the Cabinet.
This deprives the King of the immense
power which he has heretofore enjoyed by
means of controlling the action of Legislators who were also government officeholders, subject to removal at his will.
Article 41 renders the Cabinet independent of the King, making them
movable only by a vote of want of confidence of a majority of all the elective
members of the Legislature. This puts
an end to the former frequent dismis
of Ministers, even in the face of voti ol
full confidence. It takes the working 1
of Government wholly awn from
under the
King's control, and places
control of the people's Representatives.
Article 48 destroys the King's absolute
veto power, giving two-third's of il c I.&lt; filature the power to overrule his veto, air.
the case of the President of the United

composed of all male residents 'of Hawaiian, American or European descent,
possessing $3,000 of taxable unencumbered property, or in receipt of $600 annual income. This appears to be practically the greatest diminution of the King's
power, depriving him of the appointment
of nearly one-half of the Legislators. It
is understood to have been the change to
which the King manifested the greatest
reluctance to consent.
Article 62 does away with all property
qualifications for electors of Representatives and, as well as Article 59, extends
the franchise to all persons of American
and European descent resident in the Islands, whether naturalized or not. 'This
article, while fully preserving all the voting
privileges of the natives, and indeed .somewhat enlarging them, puts foreigners on a
complete equality with them, thus ending
the long felt grievance of foreigners that
they could not vote without renouncing
their nationality, nor then until after the
lapse of several years.
Article 78 declares that all official acts
of the King, not otherwise expressly specified, must be done by and with the advice
and consent of the Cabinet. 'The King
no longer rules, he only reigns."
Article So provides for an early election
o( a new Legislature and for an early
special session, designed to consolidate
and sett'e the working of the new government.

There are several other minor and subordinate changes. We believe the above
are all that are of material importance. It
is evident that these are very great, radically altering the character of the Government, while leaving its outward form.
This Constitution is held to possess at
least equal validity with the one before it,
whii h proceeded entirely from the arbitrary
will ot Kamehameha Y. who chose to proclaim it in 1564. As the new Constitution diminishes and impairs no privileges
of the people existing before, while it
increases and extends those privileges, it
is held that no vote of the people is
essential to its validity. At any rate, it was
who secured the
firmly believed by
new Constitution, that it was impossible to
obtain the necessary changes by tardy
legislative processes,-that immediate results
must be secured or none.
'These radical concessions were secured
from the King solely by a solid and iqfii
ier.t exhibition of military force, in the
form of a S nail well drilled battalion of the
Honolulu Rifles composed of white men.
'To nppase these the King had only a
badly demoralized guard ot native soldiers,
and he was quite unable to secure either
moral or physical support from the native
States.

&lt;

A large proportion of our leading white
residents cf all classes and all shades of
opinion were manifestly engaged in it, and
had been for sometime very quietly pre
paring it, and when the day came, prompt
ly carried it into effect without a shot or a
thrust and without tumult. It was neatly
and" thoroughly executed, with absolute
success, and without suspending or disturbing for more than a few hours the
ordinary functions of government. It
received the earnest and unanimous sup
port of nearly all white men in the Islands,
constituting the very first undertaking in
which they have ever before shown substantial unity of purpose.
According to custom, much is said in
reports sent to San Francisco papers about
the part taken by the "missionaries" in
this business. Many will wish for reliable
information upon this subject. We may
perhaps define the popular use of the
term as especially designating the several
hundred persons attending the white Cor.
gregational churches. It is often used to
include everybody else in social or moral
sympathy with then). There is no doubt that
this large and influentialclass ofcitizenshad
an active part in this movement, and that
among them were sons, grandsons, and
sons-in-law of old missionaries. The move
tnent however embraced substantially all
white men, Portuguese included; and a
large proportion of the most influential
actors are in no special sympathy with the

so-called "missionaries."

As far as we are now informed, we
believe that the influence of the so-called

"missionary element" in this movement
was quite conservative, seeking to preserve
the rights of the natives, and existing
monarchical forms, in opposition to the
very radical aims of those not interested
in the native people, and who were eager
to overturn the throne, and immediately
inaugurate Republican government. Many
others were equally conservative, and their
more moderate counsels prevailed. The
King was given the opportunity of yielding,

PROFESSOR DANA'S VISIT.
We gladly record and welcome the second visit to Hawaii of the eminent Geol
ogist and mineralogist James I). Dana,
LI..D. for thirty seven years Silliman Pro.
fessor of those sciences in Vale University.
Dr. Dana's first visit to these Islands was
in 1840, as the Geologist and Mineralogist
of the U. S. Exploring Expedition commanded by Capt. Wilkes, he having charge
also of the department of Crustacea and
Corals, on which subjects, as well as upon
the Geology and Volcanoes of the Pacific,
especially of Hawaii, Dr. Dana issued elaborate reports, which secured to him the
highest rank in his departments of science.
Upon the Coral Islands of the Pacific,
Professor 1 &gt;ana stands as the highest authority. His Uxt books and manuals of
Geology and Mineralogy are held of indispensable use in all schools ©f Natural
Science. Especially has no one contributed so much to the record of facts, or
to the study of theory concerning Hawaiian
volcanoes, as Professor Dana.
As chief editor for a long period of the
American Junrnal of Science ami Arts,
which has always been the leading scientific journal of America, he has long been,
as it were, the chief clerk or secretary of
American Scientific work. His own separate papers include hundreds of titles, and
according to President Oilman of Johns
Hopkins University, "are unsurpassed in
extent and value by those ofany American
philosopher.''
Dr Dana comes crowned with years and
iionors, to revisit the scenes of his youthful
researches, after an absence of forty-seven
years, for the especial object* of renewed
personal observation of volcanic phenomena, in view of farther revisions of and additions to his writings on the subject. How
great the changes during those years both
in America and Hawaii! The (iolden
Gate was then an almost unexplored passage, and Honolulu a town of grass and
adobe huts, with scarcely a tree.
No
steamship had then ever visited the Pacific
Ocean, nor even a steam-engine. Our
mails were then five months in coming,
snd now only twelve days. There are almost none of the old time people remaining to greet him. Professor Dana has however many personal friends, pupils, correspondents and students of his books in
these Islands, who will make him teel at
home.
Like Louis Agassi/, Dr. Dana has an end
nent son, Dr. Edward S. Dana, who is a
ieading specialist in crystallography, inheriting the gifts not only of his father, but of
his distinguish! d grandfather, Professor
Silliman.
We would add that Mr. Premier W. 1.,
(ireen kindly loaned us his copy of "I &gt;ana's
(Geology " the other day with the remark
that he "knew it all by heart."
The wellworn book bears marks of the truth of
that statement.

TRIUMPH OF MR.

for priU'c deem them of some
historical interest. They are also a priceless record of the honest manliness of a devout missionary in dealing with his royal
master, in order to save him from destroying himself, and his people with him.
Kauikeaouli, the King, was not a wilfully
evil man. He had good intentions, and
in some important respects was an eminently good King. But he inherited the
sensuality of his race and did not easily
bridle his will when his appetites were inflamed. 'To such a ruler a resolute monitor like the devoted Armstrong was invaluable. A king tan fall into no waxmore evil than to count his passions and
caprices supreme, his own will the law, and
himself a sort of earthly god. It is then
fortunate for him if there are those who
can quell him, and still happier if he
comes to heartily acquiesce, as did Kauikeaouli, in their control. No incident of
his official life is more completely char
acteristic than the following, the descrip
tion Of which is taken partly from his journal and partly by his son from the records

GREEN'S THEORY. Armstrong's children, and printed
vate circulation.

By the following letter of Mr. Martin,
late Hawaiian Consul-General to France
and Belgium, it appears that in France a
complete and general acceptance has been
accorded tothetheory presented many years
ago by the Hon. \V. L. Green of Honolulu in his book entitled " Vestiges of the
Molten Globe," as to the cause of the peculiar and somewhat regular arrangement
and forms of the great continental and
ocean masses of the Earth's surface, a
theory more specifically known as that of
the "Tetrahedral Collapse" of the Earth's
crust upon its shrinking interior.
Paris, June 2d, IXB7.
Hon. W. L. Green, Honolulu. S. I,
Dear Sir: lam requested by the Pjris
ideographical Society to transmit to you
the enclosed circular. Our .Society has a
very fine and numerous collection of portraits of almost all the Scientific men in
the world, and we would be very happy to
have yours.
Your'name is often on the lips ami in
the books of all the French geologists; for,
as 1 am happy to say, your theory of the
formation of the- globe has now been
adopted and is currently taught by the
great majority of professors of geology in
this country, as agreeing better with the
facts than Elie dc Beaumont's
What has become of the hook you mentioned about two years ago as being
ready for the press? Main s&lt; ientific
men often ask me if you have not published
anything new, and 1 am at a loss to answer.
I have the honor to remain, dear Sir.
yours very sincerely and respectfully.
William Martin.
The Editor feels a particular interest in
the facts above slated, on account of having, soon after the appearance of Mr.
Green's book, published a confident prediction that his theory would ultimately
become the one taught in the schools as
correctly explaining the main outlines of
the Earth's surface.
We are happy to state that the maps and
diagrams for Mr. Green's new book on
Volcanic Action are nearly completed,
when the work will at once go to press.
We regard the forthcoming book as one of
the most valuable contributions of the period
to volcanic science. It is especially full in
tacts and able in discussions respecting
Hawaiian Volcanoes.

Al my request none

�that he restrained himself, with difficulty, fn in
leaving the room and that he felt that he had been
grossly insulted. Mr. A. replied that he might
have made a mistake in judgment, hut that he had

been moved to make the remarks by a sense of
duty. The king then retired from the Privy Council, after requesting that the subject should be carefully considered. Paki, an old chief, said that
the king was hurt because the truth had been
slated; that he had conversed with his majesty that
morning, and his majesty had informed hint that
the ministers and chiefs had better bring his reign
lo a close at once.
Dr. Judd informed the Piivy
Council that he had threatened several times, to
resign unless the king kept sober. He thought the
remaiks complained of might better have been
made elsewhere, and for that reason he thought
Mr. A. might be censured, but if he was, there
should be a full explanation of the circumstances.
Paki thought that the king would take Mr. A's
life, after the service, and suggested that Mr. A.
be brought before the king, with the request that
he deal with him gently, for he thought that the
king was not vindictive; other chiefs expressed
the opinion lhat Mr. A. had spoken the truth, but
that, as it was done in public, it had naturally incensed the king. Mr. Wyllic, the Minister of
foreign Affairs, a wealthy and eccentric Scotchman, who had, by persistent diplomatic despatches
to oilier nations forced the Hawaiian Government
into notice and recognition, said that he knew of
nothing so likely lo cause the king to abdicate,
as public reproof; that if the king abdicated, there
would be a Republic, and the chiefs would lose
their rank and their lands; that most kings drank
liquor, and got more or less drunk, but he never
heard of their being rebuked by their ministers,
because of it. lie did not think the king wished
lo punish Mr. Armstrong, and suggested that a disapproval of ihe public reproof would be sufficient.
Mr. Armstrong stated to the Council that he had
repeatedly admonished the king for his sin of
drunkenness, and finally made a public reproof as a
last resorl. He felt that he might have been in
error in so doing and would submit to any punishment which the Council should impose, whether it
was deprivation of office or imprisonment. ( Hher
native chiefs then spoke, expressing love and confidence in Mr. Armstrong, but regretting that he
should have censured the king in public.
The following resolutions were then adopted
1. Rttetoed, That the members of the I'rivj
Council deeply regret that the feelings of the king
have been hurt by remarks on his private conduct,
addressed to him personally, last evening.
h'ewlvcJ, That the members of the Privj

and honor so lo comport hinisell as to keep up the

"3. AVm/.-v./, That the members of the council
express the hose that no occasion will occui to
hurt the feelings of the king, by any public remarks
on his private conduct, and thai the king will lor
jet what has pa-t.
A committee, therefore, took ihe resolutions to
ihe king, who, alter reading tin in. said lhat he
thought that Mi. Armstrong was making the chiefs
disaffected towards him, bui that he would reftect
on the matter,
On the following day the king senl word to the
council that Mr. Armstrong nrusl be removed
removed, he
from office, and that, if he was
should abdicate. Paki said thai i.c would agree
to Mr. Armstrong's dismissal from office, it the
king would promise to reform. Mr. li. an niil
chief, said that he would not consent to the dls
missal, because the hull was »ith the king. Kanaina, the father of Lunalilu, who became king in
1.574, made an imaginary tddiess lo the king, and
Hated what inconveniences and evil residis would
follow a dismissal. It was then suggested tiial the
king be asked il be would be satisfied if the ollice
ol chaplain to the Royal lainily be taken from
Mr. Armstrong, but lhat he be allowed to hold
bit office as Minister of Public Instruction. A
committee waited upon the king and made the
request, but the king demanded that it should be
put in writing." Mr. Wyllie informed ihe council lhat he had assisted in placing Mr. Armstrong
in office, but that he would prefer his dismissal to
the king's abdication. He suggested that the

council ask the king to forgive Mr. Armstrong;
that many kings were irregular in their,conduct,
hut, still, they were God's sovereigns, for all that.
In his opinion it almost amounted to high treason
lo speak in the council ef the king's indiscretions.
A new committee then waited on the king, and
informed him that the council requested him to forgive Mr. Armstrong. The king replied that he
now understood that he was really regarded as king
by his Privy Council, and accordingly forgave Mr.

Armstrong.

From this time until the king's death, the king
placed great confidence in Mr. Armstrong. His
quiet humor and genial manner was a strong agency
in controlling the king and chiefs; they felt that he
was a true friend. In small matters, which they
considered of much moment, he patiently advised
with them. He undestood their simple, child-like
natures, and realized how greatly their actions
were controlled by their feelings, rather than by
their reason. On one occasion a chief, delighted
with his assistance in the settlement of a dispute,
pointed out certain lands, and said lo him. "That
is yours," and was much surprised that he did not
accept the gift.

Mr. Armstrong's last entry in his journal
in regard to this, matter is as follows:

I did not attend Privy Council to-day. At 2
o'clock I)r. Judd returned and informed me that it
was pau " (ended). I assured him of my love
and loyalty and of my sorrow at having given him
offence. In doing so I was conscious of nothing
but anxiety for his welfare and that of his government. The interview was in his private room and
no one else was present. Thus this storm has
blown over. My prayer is lhat God will bring
good nut of il to the King, the nation, and to myself above all. I need more of the wisdom lhat is
rom above. God grant it me."

"

"

And illustration of the curiously simple
relations which underlay the external form
and ceremony of the little Kingdom, is
given by an entry in the journal made on
the evening of the same day

:

BY MRS. ARTHUR SMITH.

March, 1887.

On boar,l .Mercury, hound for Jlong A'i&gt;n;cDeab Sisters \i No. 53: Far away
among the volcanic isles of the Pacific, I
find my thoughts turning lovingly to you.
On this Friday, while I lie here on a
long steamer hair, fanned by a tropical
breeze so soft and languid that it only flaps
our sail idly, and carries us no whither,
you. wrapped in your furs, aie hurrying
to the spot which will m.ike you ftcl that

no farther than now from my beloved
China. It warm, toy heart ut lo remember the tine when Is.ii among you.
We had a safe and prosperous journey
to the Pacific coast after lea\ ing you, and we
sailed thenceontile-eighteenth of I lee. mber,
in company with my dear mother, for Honolulu, where we were to spend the winter.
While there it was a pleasure to meet, several times, one of our most interesting Sister Hoards. I wonder if any one has
ever made you acquainted ? I feel that
you cannot afford to miss the knowledge
of each other. You cannot afford it, because the Honolulu Hoard is a most remarkable, admirable, and sympathetic one,

whose acquaintance would enrich any one
Nor can they afford to miss the inspiration
of your loyal, loving Chicago hearts; for
they can but feel the isolation of theit
Board life, 2,100 miles form the nearest
Sister, with rip possibility of annual handclasp or heart-communion.
I suppose it to be the most remarkably
constituted Woman's Hoard in the World.
Everywhere in America one finds in the
service of the Woman's Hoard choice spirits, cultured, executive women, with heart*
attuned to Christ's last command, —women
of far sighted wisdom and sanctified common sense.
'The sisterhood of Honolulu has one
grace denied these others; 1 may call it
the grace of birth. In America it is educated into you, stamped into you, by
Children's Mission Hands, by Voting Ladies' Missionary Societies, and later by
Women's Hoards, that missions are the
noblest work on earth. In Honolulu it
has just been born into them. 'They do
not believe that missions pay; they know
it. 'They know it just as they know that
Diamond Head is beautiful, and Rilauea
is grand.
Let us look a moment at their rank and
file, as they sit in the quaint old Fort Si
Church basement. In the presiding chair
we shall find a face full of sweetness a"Vid
strength, and shall hear a voice full ol
cheery sympathy in its welcome to all pres
ent. We find a heart so large that it car.
love far-away China almost as well as its
own Micronesia, and plan to send an only
son there some day. Here is not simply
a theory that missions are good. She does
not say, " I.ct some one else 'go into all
the world' and do the preaching, and we
will see to the-dollars;" no, indeed ! In tar
away Apiang are dusky faces that would
brighten at sight of her—Apiang to which
her heart fondly dings, though its unprodui live shores nearly cost her her dearest
treasure. By some strange suggestion of
contrast, one look into her tranquil fat c
reminds one &lt; ! a night her husband once
described. It w#s when they sat, solitary
and defenseless, in a little island home,
while a band ol lien c lavages without, with,
hideous yells ami outi ries, danced about,
thirsting for their blood. Aye, verily, mis
sirtns are something more than a theory in
the he.on of those here present. We can
not dwell on their past, but if all the Bp
dangers and hardships of these

'Two years ago, when we were last in
Honolulu, the president's (hair was draped
in black ; for one of the noblest of thei
(hoti c women had gone to her rest, leaving behind her, like the glory of a fadeless
sunset sky, the memory of her long, loving,
self-denying lite given to Hawaii.
A worthy daughter of hers has the not
inconsiderable task of carrying the bag tot
this society. A word later about her bags,
and how they are tilled in Honolulu.

in rare women, that it is a very important part of the success of a missionarysociety to have a good secretary. They,
too, are no whit behind. I trust this letter
may stimulate you to send for their published reports, and prove the truth of my
statement.

Scattered about among the benches, let
us pick out the faces full of Heaven's own
peace,— the blessed mothers in Israel, the
missionaries of long ago, whose presence
would be a benediction to any meeting on
earth.
Many a loving service is still received
from them by that Hawaii Nei to which,
so long ago, their young lives were given.
But the conflict is nearly over for them.
Silver hair crowns the dear faces, and the
strength of that long ago hardly abides
with them now. "Mother Cooke,'' ''Mother Castle," "Mother Rice," "Mother Parker," as they are lovingly called, forgive
us if we call you out by name, would
that every Woman's Hoard had an edition
of you !
Yonder sits another, lit companion for
such hearts,- wife of the great-hearted,
cordial, loving sailors' chaplain of llano
lulu, who knew sailors, and loved and understood them as if he had been brought
up "before the mast." The great heart is
t)tliet now; the chaplain's work is ended;
but dear "Mother Damon'' still carries her
burdens with a brave spirit. The lovely
face over there that wins your glance and
holds it, —whose is that? Ah 1 there is the
romance of the Woman's Hoard. She is
a missionary of the American Hoard to the
20,000 Chinese on these islands, and the
only specimen of a ready-made missionary
ever heard of by the writer. The Chinese
there speak chiefly Cantonese; antl when
the son of the sailors' chaplain above mentioned set himself to work for that strange,
alien people in the island home of his
childhood, he could expect no better help
in his artluous work than other poor mis
sionaries have to put up with. They must
expect a male dumb and stammering, like
any beginner in a strange tongue. But
lo what grace is this conferred by
Heaven? A veteran missionary in Canton
has a daughter reared there to whom the
Cantonese dialect is idiomatic; to whom
the Chinese people, their prejudices, their
i ustoms and habits of thought, are an
open book well read. She is transplanted
to bless the new home in Hawaii.
Think
of il! No long, heart-wearying novitiate;
no struggling with pent up desire for work;
no groping in the dark after methods; but
fresh, young strength, and fullness of
utterance, without one idle, waiting year.
A Chinese overseer on a sugar plantation
said of her: "Missce talkce belly well indeed. When man talkee Chinaman he all
stay out; he no go in. Missee talkee,
plenty Chinaman all come inside listen to
her. They stay. They all still." Another Chinese friend said, with an enthusiasm that seemed strangely Occidental,
" She speaks our language better than
we do."
But time would fail me to tell of the

'

sister on your right who shared the life of
the man who made Hilo forever memorable; of the unselfish worker on the left
who still toils for Hawaiian women; of the
active sister in front, the wife of the l'resi
dent of the Pacific Institute, where they
make Hawaiian ministers; of her work
among the native girls, who not only study
and play the piano, but sew, knit, crochet,
and make fearful and wonderful silk quilts
at their missionary meetings; of all the
other busy workers in the Cousins' Missionary Society; of the Cleaners, and the
Y. M. C A. boys. As we look about,
nearly all the women in that room are
daughters or daughters-in-law of the old
missionaries, though 1 see in the background faces familiar to you and belonging
rather to the Chicago than the Honolulu
circle. It seems more like a missionary
meeting in one of our mission-fields than a
Woman's Board.
Now, a word as to that bag and its contents. Their regular gifts seemed to me
royal in quantity, and were conferred as if
giving were a noble privilege they could
not be persuaded to forego.
Being invited lo speak to them the last
afternoon I was there, I told them about
our dear little chapel in Panng Chuang,
the result of so much self denying effort by
po r men, poor women, and poorer little
children, and how help had come from unexpected sources more than one c, a
beautiful story of helpful lo\c. 1 told it
simply for the encouragement it gave,-the story of earnest souls striving in the
midst of poverty for self-help. 'The hour
was late and the meeting was dismissed,
but as most of the ladies neared the door
an earnest voice said, " Please wait a
moment; I think we want a little share in
that chapel." I have been in places where
such a proposition was followed by a
marked increase of activity round the outside door. I was surprised at the suggestion. They had already taken up their
contribution, not a small one, and they
airy a heavy load of responsibility and
work all the time. 'The mere handful of
them support missionaries in Microbe'
sia, besides lesser burdens. In a few moments the beaming treasurer counted into
my palm twenty-three dollars. I was
amazed but thankful. Some ladies did
not have their pocket-books with them;
naturally they were absolved from all responsibility, as it was an unexpected i ah,
and that was the end of it. The end of
it? No, indeed not in Honolulu !
'The next day a lady drove up. to tall.
She had no money with her yesterday.
She had fifteen dollars in shining goldpieces today, -gifts from herself and two
daughters. Small sums came in from
various people who had wanted to give the
previous day, and could not, some coming
miles to bring the gifts. One young lady
brought ten dollars in gold from papa and
mama, and a five-dollar piece, proceeds of
the tardy fund, it being a rule in the family that members late to any meal must put
something into the missionary box. 'The
Panng Chuang Church will feel those

tardinesses have been blessed to the family.
One business man heard of it, investigated,
and derided it to be a good, sound invest
ment, and sent fifteen dollars to the Lord's
bank. 'Ihe Cousins' Missionary Si ciety
and the dear Young Lady Ghanetl sent
shining reinforcements, so that almost before we knew it we had one hundred and
eighteen dollars and fifty cents toward the
debt on our chapel; and what they started
for was to furnish a Bible !
Do you not agree with me that Honolulu understands the real grace, and tastes
the real joy of giving ?
Now, life is short, and 1 dare not begin
to enumerate the works of this Island Sister of yours; but are thty not all written,
nay, printed, and to be read of men? The
more you know of it the more you will
honor them.
Beloved, will you not send them a lettet
of greeting and love, and make your own
lives richer by this friendship? 'Trusting
you will, I remain,

HILO BOARDING SCHOOL.
The fifty first year of Hilo Hoarding
School has just closed; and the examination and exhibition exercises, marking the
occasion, were most interesting.
Studying and reciting, as the boys do,
wholly in English, they showed commend
able aptitude in the use of that to them a
foreign tongue; —far more than the specta
tors present at the examination would
have shown, had they been required with
only a year or two of practice in it, to ex
press themselves under the fire of a rigid
cross-questioning in ancient Creek.
The three most interesting exercises
of the examination wtre the writing of
sentences in English on the black board,
generally without mistake, the correct solving of arithmetical problems, also on the
black-board, and the rehearsal by word of
mouth of extended stretches of American
and English history, showing not mere
verbal memorizing but the possession ol
facts and ideas given in their own words.
It was well done.
Among the noteworthy changes during
the past year is first, the erectk n of the
Industrial building, in which the boys are
to be taught carpentry, furniture making
(some very (reditable work in this line
has already been done;, tailoring and print
ing. 2, the introduction into the s&lt; hool
curriculum of band music.
Considering the short time they have
been in practice, the Hilo boarding Si boo 1
brass band plays remarkably well, not only
simple airs, but music of a much highei
style than beginners usually attempt.
Mr. Burt, the Principal, besides being
an excellent preacher of the gospel, and a
cultured gentleman, is an experienced
teacher, an efficient musician, both vocal
and instrumental, and a practical mechanic;

REORGANIZATION OK EVANGELISTIC
WORK AMONG THE

HAWAIIANS.
It is known to many of our readers, that
Dr. J. K. Smith of Kauai, and his sister,
have been interesting friends in Boston in
their project of securing additional Christian
workers to labor among the Hawaiians.
The Hawaiian Hoard lias prepared and
sent on to Boston a request to the A.
H. C. 1'. M. to resume, at this critical juncture, its old relations to the Hawaiian Islands, and re-organize the Sandwich Island
Mission. Sc&lt; retary Smith writes from Boston, 'We had a gathering of friends in my
room last Monday, June 20, in the interest
of the new work in the Hawaiian Islands
it which Gen. Armstrong, Dr. Smith and
his ister, Gen. Marshall, Mr. Hartwell,
and Gen. Anmtong's mother tcok part
along with several clergymen of Boston
and vicinity. A very hearty response to
the general call for more laborers was
made, and I think we may count upon
rom] t and generous support of this new
measure whenever it shall be fairly inaugurated. A good many of the young pastors
ha\e been conferred with in regard to undertaking this work; and some are quite

The Kamehameha Constitution, now
happily superseded, asserted tlntthe country belonged to the King: "the Kingdom is
his." The Hawaiians natura'ly interpreted this to mean that the King had supreme control over the people, their persons
and their property. He could order any
notion of his carried out, in church or state.
He could take all the money he wanted,
wherever he could get it. The King owned everybody and everything, and as the
Constitution also asserted, was above all law.
With such fundamentally erroneous sentiments it is'not strange that our Hawaiian
churches have suffered from the Kind's in
terference with the management and po'ic y
of individual churches and of ecclesiastii al
organizations. As the pastors and deacons
are usually the leading men in any community, they have in many instances been
induced, or compelled, to lent! offin carrying out the Emg's political S&lt; hemes, and
managing elections, and voting for the
King's candidates. This sort of interference with the legitimate work of out
churches is, we may tru&gt;t, finally and for
all time abandoned. At least, this is one in&lt; lined to consider the question.
It will be a matter of a good deal of delof the political reforms demanded and
secured by the mass meeting held June ;,o. icacy to find just the right persons, such

etc.
The great difficulty, as Secretary
Smith writes, is how to secure suitable
men. Mere willingness to work is no
gauge of fitness. Aspiration to leadership
is no sufficient reason for putting unquali
fied persons forward to shame them and
harm the cause. Just as all good citizens
should now unite in supporting the new

good people should unite their prayers,

EXTRACTS FROM REV. R. LOGAN'S
JOURNAL.
Our own school progresses favorably
The attendance of most of the scholars is
regular and all are learning We now ha\e
twenty seven Ruk people reading in the
Testament. Some scholars had complained
tha' they could nut get cocoanutl enough
to buy Testaments, but Capt. Narrhun als.i
buys arrow-root, anil all who can read
have now provided themselves with Testa
ments, paying arrow-root; and nearly all
have bought also the Bible Stories, so that
they are well supplied with br.oks. At the
out stations, also, they have bought many
books, mostly primers, paying (or thei"
with arrow root. We are so very glad that
there is a market for the arrow-root, which
is very abundant here, and of c\&lt; eller I
quality. Our house building goes on
slowly. There are three under way, two
for the Training scholars and one foi
Karolina which we plan as the nucleus t&gt;&gt;
a girls' school. There is trouble to find
leaves for thatching. 'The leaf of the ivoiy
palm is used, but the tree is scarce. We
have been to some of the other islands
and now have enough to complete the
three houses.
One couple in the training s, |,o«.i
brought a baby about two years old. I
sickened, some weeks ago, and last Sur
day died. The parents feel the loss very
keenly. I did the best I knt'w how to do
for the child, but medicine did not sect
to help. Arthur made a little coffin f"i
him and we had a service at the grave, the
first Christian burial here.
Wednesday last, Hay 19th, Mr. Wortl
and Moses started for Murlloi k. We fell
anxious to have the t hun hes visited
again, hoping to slir tip more interest and
quicken the religious hie. 'There are bul
three ten hers fur ihe ten churches, outside Of Kills, and the life of the people
has rather stagnated. We chartered Capi
Narrhun's little vessel ($25 for the trip:,
three of our boys went to help sail her,
and Capt. Narrhun sent one of his men,
hoping be could trade some in unobjei

THE BLUE.
It is exceedingly gratifying to the friends
of Te nperance lo observe the growing interest in the Blue Ribbon movement which
seems to pervade the community among
both foreigners and natives.
The Blue Ribbon League holds a public meeting in the Association Hall every
Saturday evening which is well attended,
and some new names are added t) the
pledge-roll every meeting.
The Y. M. C. A. Committee on Temperance Work continue to co-operate with
the League, believing the cause needs all
the strength that union of forces can give it.
The native Blue Ribbon League holds
an interesting meeting every week, and
they have received large accessions to
their numbers, Stand by your color,

OUR

PIANIST.

A very imooriant and helpful feature of
the Sunday evening Gospel meetings has

been the excellent singing, which has surpassed that of any meeting of equal size
the writer ever at.ended. The secret of
this musical success was largely due the
efficient leadership of Mi.-,s Mary Atherton,
who for the past two years, or more, has
most faithfully performed the double services of presiding at the piano and leading
the singing; her spirited touch and strong
leading voice imparted life and energy to
all present.
Miss Atherton graduated lion Oahu
College with high honors in June and
sailed lor California July sth. where she
will spend a well earned vaca'i in with tela
lives, after which she intends t.iking 1
four years course of Study in the States.
The Associati &gt;n sustains a si 1 i iUS loss in

other friends in wishing her highest p issi
