May it be one of peace and hopeful endeavor, and growing righteousness in our own souls and in all the land. For ourselves, we desire to make this new and forty-sixth volume of the Friend one that shall be in keeping with its honored past, while filling worthily its province in the present time. We hope to make it readable, inspiriting, and of value for permanent record. And we desire that its voice shall always answer in clear tone to the call of duty and right. SANTA CLAUS. Dear old Grand-pa Santa Claus has just been exceedingly busy among his very numerous little friends in Honolulu. We do not believe anybody could do away with his services here if they wanted to. He came down in great force at the Central Union Sabbath School on the evening of the 23d, in all his glory of full and snowy beard, with several sleigh loads of gifts. No Bostonian doubts about his goodness and virtues have ever troubled these parts. With Phillips Brooks, we agree that we "never met a man who became a liar or a reprobate by believing in Santa Claus when a child." REACTIONARY EFFORTS. A more or less determined effort has been in progress since our last issue to replace the direction of the government hands of the King, from whom it taken away by the political revolu- Ke JANUARY, 1888. tion of last July. So far the reactionists have not ventured to appeal to force, although their native papers have virulently threatened it. It is quite well understood that any such intentions have already encountered very discouraging intimations. The attitude of the Foreign Commissioners, and the presence of one British and three American ships of war are not favorable to that kind of demonstrations, even if there were any formidable class in the community disposed to support the King's pretentions. No fact has been more patent to all classes of intelligent men than that the King's mental and moral condition had become such as thoroughly to incapacitate him for exercising any sort of direction or control in the government of the nation. We desire to speak of this compassionately, as we deeply feel, but no clearer evidence of a thorough mental and moral disarrangement is needed than the well known occurrences a year ago of the King's soliciting and receiving a bribe of 575,000, and then recklessly and cheerfully repudiating his bargain while retaining the money. And this is only one of a large variety of acts enforcing the same conclusion of incapacity and a degree of irresponsibility. A civilized, progressive, and law-abiding community were compelled to secure for themselves orderly and responsible government, doing it with a moderation and kindness towards the offending monarch which many are now tempted to feel was unwise. 1 The Friend. Nu.MIIKR I. that, however important, these measures should have met with the strenuous opposition of individuals. 'They may have been in the right, and the Friend has no issue with them. What does seem a ground of regret is, that any of the minority should have refused to let the will of the majority decide these questions, and should have invoked the interposition ofthe will of the disordered and incapacitated King. We can respect fair and honest fighting; but what are we to think of a party which will unlock Bedlam for recruits ? We congratulate the country, and we honor the Legislature for their very marked attitude of firmness and union in condemnation of these reactionary attempts. Their union has been more marked, and their majorities more overwhelming as the weeks have gone on, and the members have returned from their recess, and faltering minds have been fortified by intercourse with their constituents. While it is true that " revolutions never go backward," yet there are often disastrous reactions in the advancing tide. It is becoming more and more apparent that no such reaction is likely to prevail at this time, but that the cause of Responsible Government is to go forward uninterruptedly. It should be, and we believe will be, the earnest and confiding prayer of devout souls, that God may give prosperity and success to the cause of good government in Hawaii, and that He will over-rule all hostile influences and attempts to the clearer disclosure of the During the session ofthe Legislature, true character of evil elements, and to now of nearly two months' continuance, the uniting and encouraging of all good differences of sentiment arose on various elements in society. questions, as was to be expected, and as As intimated above, the undisguised is not undesirable.

A leadpeople. It is not matter of complaint ing one is the jealous apprehension that �the whites, who are the leaders in the Reform movement, will appropriate all the powers of government to themselves. Another is the glamour of Royalty, and worship of its divinity which is profoundly and inseparably entwined in Hawaiian souls, and which even bias the thoughts of cultivated white men and women born and educated here. Still another is superstitious fear of the baleful powers of Royalty to bewitch and destroy, which is the wretched heritage of Hawaiians from their heathen past. All these means of influencing the native mind with many others have been plied to the utmost during the past weeks. Yet we believe that the great body of intelligent Hawaiians feel that the Legislature is composed mainly of men in earnest sympathy with them and sensitive to their rights and claims. We trust that the outcome of all will increase and not impair the mutual confidence of the two races. We are most thankful to add, as we go to press, that the contest has happily ended by the complete surrender of the King to the demands ofthe Legislature. This good result is due to the firm and resolute course of the latter, and to their clear apprehension of the fundamental issue presented. The dignified and determined attitude of the Legislature and Cabinet, persisting to success, adds a lustre to Hawaiian history, hitherto lacking, and which proves no deterioration of nerve and fibre on these tropic shores. The great party of Responsible Government comes out of the contest stronger, more united, and greatly enlightened by the experience. We congratulate the community and the nation upon the bright and assured prospects for the public welfare with which, under God's favor, we are entering upon the New Year. May the men of Hawaii fill the year with work worthy of their noble opportunities. BOOK NOTICES. Candalaria —A heroine of the wild West: by Mrs. T. A. Owen. London : Hodder & Stoughton. pp. 244.

The fourteenth issue of this compendium of island information comes freighted more than ever with valuable tables and articles for convenient reference. The compiler, Mr. T. G. Thrum, has utilized in a concise form, the important events of the past year in his retrospect, and has brought down to date, a chronological table of Hawaiian events from the Annual of 1876. Dr. Hyde's contribution on " Hawaiian Words for Sounds," Mr. E. Bailey's article on the "Flora and Fauna of the Hawaiian Islands," and the historic legend of " Umi, his birth and reign," give varied research in Hawaiian lore. The New Constitution, the Resolutions of the Mass Meeting of June 30th, with the King's reply, are of special interest to readers here and inquirers abroad. Besides are copious statistical tables and lists on, one would think, all possible subjects of political, scientific, mercantile or economic interest concerning this group. 'The fourteen numbers of Thrum's Annual constitute a species of Encyclopaedia of information about the Hawaiian Islands. REV. JAMES WILLIAM SMITH, M. D. Hardly any man has passed from among us for many years, who more completely than Dr. Smith, had earned by character, position and labors, the name of a Missionary Father. Dr. Smith was born at Stamford, Connecticut, July 8, 1810. Graduating from the New York College, he practised medicine five years until 1842, when he sailed for these Islands with his wife as a missionary physician under the A. B. C. F. M., coming with the Rowells by the well-worn route around Cape Horn. They were early stationed at Koloa, Kauai, which became their life home. As the only physician upon that island, his medical labors were Kiduous. He was, during his years of strength, subject to frequent and sudden calls to rapid rides to Hanalci forty miles in one direction, and to Waimea twelve miles in the other. Our missionary physicians in the old days had to be active horsemen, and to own good horses. Dr. Smith labored much also in spiritual things, and after some years was ordained to the missionary pastorate in the Koloa field. This special office he resigned in later years to a native successor, but continued active in spiritual labors, extending a supervisory and supporting influence more and more among the native pastors of the Kauai churches. In time Dr. Smith became the sole survivor of the missionary fathers on that island. By means of many sources of influence, chief among which was his own eminence of Christian wisdom and love, he secured a powerful ascendency among the Hawaiian pastors, who came to accept his direction and even control, to a degree unequalled in any other part of the Island mission field. One element contributing to this was the high esteem in which Dr. Smith was held by the white planters and ranch-owners, who had much power among the people. F"or the last few years, however, his failing strength and increasing sicknesses had greatly limited his ability to extend his welcome aid to the weak native churches. He wrought, however, to the last, only two weeks before his death having conducted the two Sabbath services of the day at Koloa. Dr. Smith was one of refined and benignant aspect, conveying the impression of practical wisdom, gentle firmness, and sweet and dignified devoutness, a saintly and lovely man to whom one heartily rendered the tribute of veneration as a true Missionary leather. He has passed from us in the ripeness of his years and labors, leaving his honored widow with her three sons and four daughters, and many grandchildren, to whom his will be a revered and sacred memory, while the thought of the noble stock from which they have sprung will abide with them as a guardian benison. The funeral services took place on Thursday, December ist. A discourse was preached by Rev. H. Isenberg from Revelations 2:10: "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life." ONE PHASE OF HAWAIIAN HISTORY. (Concluded.) There was in all these years a strict tabu upon selling or giving liquor to a native Hawaiian. The first article of the law of 1850, and which continued in force till it was superseded in 1882 by our present liquor law, read as follows: " Whoever shall sell, give, purchase, or procure for, and in behalf of any native of this kingdom, or for his use, any spirituous liquor or other intoxicating drink or substance, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding two hundred dollars; and in default of the payment of such fine, by imprisonment at hard labor for a term not exceeding two years." The Minister of the Interior was allowed to grant licenses to retail liquor, but only in Honolulu. Vox several years we hear of little temperance agitation till in July, 1859, a new society, modelled after one existing in California called the " Dashaways " was organized. The peculiarity of their pledge was that they only promised to abstain from thinking spirits, and that for a definite time. 'They pur- �Volume 46, No. !.] posed to dash a-tcay the cup, and to sustain each other in doing so; and seem to have at once dashed into a needed existence after five years of the almost unrebuked reign of intemperance here. It doubtless helped some men to reform. But after some two years, it dashed out of existence as suddenly as it came, and we hear of it no more. F'rom that time for twenty years, until the year 1881, there is no record of any organized effort to promote temperance reform in the country. Except in Honolulu, the islands were under practical prohibition. It was very difficult for the natives anywhere to obtain liquor, and there was little drunkenness among them. At the same time, except among a limited number, there was little public sentiment in favor of total abstinence. The attention ofthe community had not been aroused to the subject, and wine was much more freely used in many Christian families than it can ever be again. Meantime a great revival of temperance had taken place in the United States. The wonderful Woman's Crusade had solidified into a national organization, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and its influence was being felt among all classes and in all parts of the country. It seemed therefore, to the friends of temperance that some more aggressive step ought to be taken in this little country. At the same time, in a community so small and already supporting so many societies, it appeared unwise to endeavor to organize any general temperance association. At length a somewhat anomalous scheme was devised, but one which, for the time, served an admirable purpose and accomplished a work which has blessed the whole community. This was to have a large committee of Christian men and women interested in temperance which, while they should not hold stated meetings, should, at any time, convene at the call of the chairman. In April, 1881, an informal meeting, to consider the matter, was held in the Lyceum, which resulted in the organization known as the " Committee of Twenty-one." Prom this number various sub-committees were appointed with power to add to their number from others not included in the general committee. Dr.. C. M. Hyde was chairman ofthe committee through its whole existence. Their object was to conduct public temperance meetings, solicit signatures to the pledge, obtain statistics and other information for publication, work among the young, and endeavor to enforce more perfectly existing laws relating to the manufacture and sale of intoxicating drinks. A series of interesting public meetings was sustained for several months, supported mainly by home talent, which were very effective in arousing public interest. In August, 1881, Mr. M. L. Hallenbeck came from San FYancisco, 3 THE FRIEND. Honolulu. Drunken natives are daily seen upon our streets. The records of the police courts show their frequent arrests. This in connection with the now recently passed opium law, is debauching and destroying the native as rapidly as Satan himself could wish. liven so conservative a body as the Planters, in their recent convention, at the invitation of the committee, to in hold a series of Gospel Temperance meetings. These meetings soon developed into distinctively evangelistic services, and their blessed results are too fresh in the minds of most of us to need any rehearsal here. Not a few before me look back upon them as the means of their temporal and eternal salvation, and the whole Christian community received an impetus which has never been lost. Two years later this committee united with the Y. M. C. A. in calling Mrs. Mary Clement Leavitt to visit Honolulu in the interests of Temperance. In November, ISB4, she arrived and held a series of meetings, of which the chairman, in a farewell note, said: "We wish to express to you our great gratification and satisfaction with the style and results of the good work you have done here. The whole community has been most favorably impressed by the calm, dignified and kindly tone in which you have presented the unanswerable arguments of undeniable facts in favor of total abstinence for the individual, and legal prohibition by the Government, as the only adequate remedy for the evils arising from the use of alcoholic beverages." This Union is one of the results of her mission. Shortly after its organization the Committee of Twenty-one was, by mutual consent, disorganized and its archives passed over to the W. C. T. U. as to its natural successor." In 1882 the law—prohibitory, as affecting Hawaiians—which had practically been in force for sixty years, under which the Hawaiian nation had passed from infancy to manhood, was repealed, against the protests and petitions of thousands of our best citizens, we might almost say of all who had the real interests of the nation at heart. Let it be remembered that this law was not forced upon the natives by foreigners, nor by any foreign power, but was first devised by the chiefs under the regency of Kaahumanu and repeatedly re-enacted in different forms under many subsequent administrations. And this, too, against the continual opposition of individuals and nations whose claims to superior civilization might well be questioned. We cannot too much admire the wise firmness shown by the chiefs and people in thus persistently standing for the right. In its place the liquor law of 1882 was passed, allowing the Minister ofthe Interior to grant licenses to sell liquors to any one in Honolulu or elsewhere having a license to sell other goods. Its results are too well known. The importation of liquors has increased from 100,000 to 300,000 gallons annually. Against the wishes and protests of all the best residents, saloons have been licensed and are in full operation in nearly every town in the country. Liquor stores have more than doubled " report: " The licensing of the sale of opium, and the retail liquor shops established in several of the country districts has proved detrimental to the planting interests as well as to the general well being of the laboring people. " Agents of the so-called opium company have traveled throughout the group, visiting every plantation, village and hamlet, carrying the deadly and de- moralizing drug. "Evil only has resulted crease liquor." from the in- of establishments for selling I hope that the very apparent conclusion is evident to all, that in this country, as in greater ones, all attempts to " regulate this irregularity " to legalize this law-breaker, to license the sale of this soul-destroyer, to make respectable this traffic which Satan instituted, and which is still his pet abomination, is worse than useless. The only objection to the former law was that only the natives shared in its blessings. Let us of the fairer race also claim our share. Let us ask for ourselves and our families the same protection. Let us understand and proclaim in no uncertain manner that we of little Hawaii-nei in unison with the true patriots of all lands, demand of our law-makers no half measures, no partnership in the iniquity for our Government; but immediate, absolute, unconditional Prohibition ! Mary S. Whitney. PECULIARITIES OF LAW CASES IN HAWAII. the favor of Justice L. McCully of By we print the followCourt the Supreme ing extracts from a paper read before the Social Science Club, Nov. 28, 1887. They especially illustrate many peculiarities in the mixed social structure of this country. A new volume of Hawaiian Reports of Supreme Court decisions came out October 22, 1887. It is the fifth of our series. Vol. 1., a thin book of 310 pages, contains reports of some of the judgments and decisions of the Courts of Record for the ten years prior to 1856. The year 1846 carries us back to the beginning of civilized jurisprudence in this Kingdom. Vol. 11. reports the Supreme Court from 1857 to 1865; Vol. 111., 1866 to 1877; Vol. IV., 1878 to 1883; Vol. Y. comprises the decisions of the court in banco from July, 1883, to October, 1886, with an appendix containing sundry cases not in this period and not previously published. The com- �4 THE FRIEND. pilation has been made by William Foster, Esq., Clerk of .the Supreme Court. It bears, throughout, evidences of the systematic and librarian habit of the compiler. The whole style of the volume will bear favorable comparison with the work of Little, Brown & Co. This paper will notice in an entirely desultory way some of the indications and suggestions which this book affords of the state of society, business, and litigation in this country. Of the sixteen Crown cases in which exceptions have been taken which have brought them up from a jury or lower court before the Supreme Court, nine indicate, by their names, Chinese deFive are Hawaiian, one fendants. American, and one Norwegian, showing a country of mixed nationalities, with a large quota of Chinamen. The first indexed Chinese case arises from a lottery. It discloses an elaborate system for concealing the operations of the defendants. It indicates what we know otherwise, that the Chinaman has brought here this one of his national vices, that there are large companies working daily drawings or coincidences of tickets, in which the poorest may invest and lose their wages. The next is a case of perjury. But who is to know what perjury is committed under the impenetrable monosyllabic language, whose tones are so familiar to us, whose words so unknown? We do not in our courts undertake to question the Chinese witness if he believes in God, or in a future state of retribution. We do not swear him by any mode peculiar to his own country. We take his testimony in his own language unless he is an old resident who speaks intelligible Hawaiian, or more rarely, linglish. The court or jury must balance contradictions in testimony, and circumstances, and arrive at its conclusion not always satisfactory. I question if practically we suffer as grave consequences from our presumed perjuries as we might fear. Those consequences are for the most part confined to the Chinese. There may be those who are outside of prison through perjury, probably not many who are in prison by it. Three cases relate to opium. The inferior courts try a multitude of opium cases. One of these reported decisions of the Supreme Court gave rise to the enactment of a statute in the session of 1866 providing that Custom House ofricers may search domestic ships and freight on the wharf suspected of con- taining contraband or dutiable goods. In the case of Chuck Hoon the filial piety of this race is seen. Twenty dollars had been delivered to him to be conveyed to the donor's mother in China. He did not deliver it to the mother, and returning here, he refused to return it to the sender. It was claimed that the act of the embezzlement must have been committed in China, but the court held that he could likewise be tried here. Chinese Civil business. Chinese names appear on one or both sides of a good proportion of the civil cases reported in the book. In two bankrupt cases we find rice plantations, and a foreigner the assignee of bankrupt Chinamen. Another feature is the number of partners. In a case now pending there are thirteen partners. They call themselves a company and take a company name. These partnerships become unwieldy. They possess many of the characteristics of corporations, such as permitting partners to sell their interests, and accepting the buyer into the firm. I do not intend to make a special case against the Chinese for eminence in fraudulent bankruptcy, but it may be concluded that they have little to learn of it from others. Water rights cases. It appears that this is a country where cultivation greatly depends upon irrigation, and the rights of water depend, for the most part, on allotments made in ancient times, which are now to be fitted to the demands for the cultivation of sugar and rice, in addition to the Hawaiian taro. It appears that the three water commissioners of each district cannot award damages for the wrongful diversion of water, but they may make orders for the future, such as the removal of dams, the shutting off of ditches, etc. In one of the cases, David t». Afong, the court, for the first time in this country, has occasion to adopt the principle of law which distinguishes the rights in water flowing visibly above ground, and that which courses in subterranean and unknown channels. A. may bore a well which shall cut off or draw off the supply from his neighbor B.s well, and B. But this would be without remedy. does not apply to the case of A. making his well the receptacle of nuisances or poisons contaminating the water of B. He may take away B.s water, but he may not spoil it. This case of Davis v. Afong was one of taro vs. rice, of the old Hawaiian rights vs. Chinese industry and enterprise. Another case, between Loo Chit Sam et al and Wong Kirn, discloses the difficulty in deciding satisfactorily and exactly by the evidence offered. The contention in this case is whether or not the defendant had enlarged the boundaries of ancient taro land which would be presumed to have ancient water rights, and taken in what of old had been kula. or dry, unirrigated land, for all of which he claimed water. Two of the judges visited the premises, they being within three miles of town. After inspection the conclusion of the Court was that it could give no reason for sustaining a different decision from that made by the Commissioners. Reasons for the uncertainties of evidence were stated thus: Previous to the cultivation of rice, which may be said to have commenced since the reciprocity treaty of 1876, the area of taro culture had greatly diminished. [January, 1888. Taro patches were allowed to go dry, and even be used for grazing as if kula land. So the testimony tends to make them kula. The great demand for rice land brought the disused taro patches into requisition because water right attached to them. The enterprising Celestial pares the kuaunas or division banks to the thinnest, or cuts them away altogether. He cuts into the dry land and creates new patches. The identifying features of the place are obliterated. Again, not every taro patch had a good supply of water every year. The advancing desiccation of the country must also be considered. The Water Commissioners are also Commissioners of Rights of Way. The change from the mode of aboriginal times to civilization sometimes appears in these cases. F"ootpaths served the old Hawaiian. After roads and streets are made, there are yet house lots in the interior of blocks and patches and building sites, only accessible by a track along a kuauita. This comes to be insufficient, or is cut off. The tendency is to enlarge the footpath to a hand-cart track, then to a carriage road. In Achi v. Poni, there was no access to a lot in Honolulu but by boat per the river. The Court had to carve out a way along a stone wall and through an out-house to give the tenant access, then to a lane so narrow and crooked that a coffin could not be well carried out through it. Another kind of commission dealing with a unique and peculiar business is the Commissioner of Boundaries. These cases carry us back to the time when the surveyor had not been abroad with his compass and chain. All the lands of the kingdom were once held by lines depending on tradition, and when in 1848, and thereafter, titles were given by the King to those holding by ancient right, nothing else was possible in the majority of cases but to grant the land by its name. To this day there are tracts of land of which no survey has been made and boundaries affirmed by legal authority. An interesting case, though not coming into the Supreme Court, was that of the boundaries of the vast land of Humuula, on Hawaii, the area in dispute being nearly fifteen miles Ion;;, and from one to three miles wide. This depended on testimony as to how far up the mountain the edge of the forest extended at one time, everything having since been changed by the ranging of wild cattle. It also depended on evidence as to how far the ancient feather bird ranged, and was caught by the old lining bird-catchers, The principal witnesses in the case were so old that it was. doubted if they knew anything at all. Unsatisfactory as some of these decisions are, it is better that some decision should be made, and as time advances the evidence diminishes.

J. W. Kanoa of Butaritari, the most northern island of the Gilbert Group. The letter was dated September 4th and reported the Star as being then at that island on her way southward through the group. In the Weekly Bulletin of San Francisco for December 21st we find an account of the Gilbert Islands and their inhabitants which occupies a little more than two columns of that paper, and professes to be written by some person who has visited those islands. The article is well written, and the most of its statements might have conveyed a tolerably accurate idea of the state of that people twenty-five years ago. But it seems to us that at this time any intelligent writer, and especially any professed eye-witness of the present condition of things at the Gilbert Islands is inexcusable for such geographical blunders, and such glaring omissions as are found in this statement. In the first place, the writer speaks of them as "now called the 'Gilbert Islands,' formerly known as the 'Kingsmill group,' and locally as the 'Radick Chain' of Coral Atolls." He further says that "they lie between 1750 and 177" W. and Now 20 S. and 30' N. ofthe Equator." the Radick, or Radak, Chain of islands has no connection whatever with the Gilbert group. It is a part of the Marshall Island group, entirely distinct from the Gilbert Islands and situated nearly two hundred miles north of them. The 7 Neat churches and framed dwellings Marshall Islands consist of about twenty atolls, arranged in two nearly parallel may be seen on most of the islands, and lines running southeast and northwest, trading vessels from San Francisco and and lying between 6° and io° north Lat- Sydney and the Hawaiian Islands pass itude, and 1660 and 1720 East Longitude up and down through the group without from Greenwich. These two parallel apprehension of danger where thirty lines of atolls are distinguished as the years ago it was not considered safe for Radak and the Ralik chains of islands; for them to touch. All this is not to say by any means the Radak being the windward chain and the Ralik the leeward, as the northern that there are no remains of the old heathenism among that people, nor that trade winds blow.

We are inclined to think he is a member of our Association. If so, we hope that in the followlowing pen-picture which we copy from the Newark Monthly Messenger, he will recognize himself and reform—making a new start with the new year " Baker, my dear fellow, you have joined the Young Men's Christian Association —so they tell me." " Yes ; went in to help along a good thing." Well, I'm glad to hear it, but I have my misgivings about you; excuse me, but it's so. I may as well be plain. You join everything that comes along. Baker, you're a great joiner. • Your name is down on twenty different rollbooks as a member, and you ain't worth a snuffed candle to any of them. Now let me give you a bit of my opinion about active membership in Christian Associations. As that is, so are the Associations. Ten men like you serving on committees would kill the liveliest association between any two oceans. I'd rather have five stuffed giraffes to put in the rooms to draw, than ten such fellows as you. They would entice more men in a minute than you in a month. The fact is, Baker, you're too thin ; there is mighty little of you; you havn't got spunk enough to attend one regular meeting for a month ; neither do you intend to work—you join to get the entertainments almost free. When receptions are given, men of your stamp are there in great numbers. Suppose you that we can carry on our great work with men of your build ? Will men be reached and helped by the kind of effort you Christians put forth ? Never. Why, one man with push, piety and power is like a steam-engine to a child's rattlebox alongside of you." "That's rather hard on me, Mr. Secretary." "Yes; but it is as true as this, that you can't churn butter out of skimmed milk. Don't get the idea, Baker, that you are of no use at all. You are ; for even skimmed milk, thin as it is, was always used on the farm. To be sure it went to fatten pigs—but that was something, you know." "I'll get out; give me back my : " money." " Hold on now, don't boil over—this will do you good ; you can't get wagons out of deep ruts without some hard jerks over big stones in front of the wheels. Suppose you take a few facts home and think'em over; I've got them printed for some more fellows just like you." FACTS. What good am I doing the world ? Who is better for my living ? As a Christian young man, what is my influence ? Have I ever been converted ? If I were dead, would any work feel my loss ?— Yatman. �THE FRIEND. RIGHT HAND OF FELLOWSHIP. the remnant ofthe Hawaiian nation will remembering the present where you are, be saved for earth and time, even as to anticipate the future whither you go? (By Rev. Baker, Nov. 20, 1887.) E. P Mr. Baker spoke ofhimself as a neighbor from the vicinity of Dr. Beckwith's old home, and appointed to welcome his return to another of his homes. He stated the reasons why so many of those living here were glad he had come back. "We are glad," Mr. Baker said, "very glad to see you. And we welcome you first of all, to a position. If the churches ofthe Islands are to have any Bishop at all, you must certainly be that Bishop (Dr. Hyde and Mr. F'orbes being apostles rather than Bishops.) This church has no debt upon it in dollars and cents; but you whom the church has called, come here heavily mortgaged, in the influence you exert, the power given you, the sympathy you feel for others, and others feel for you, to the whole Islands, to help improve their Christianity and elevate their civilization. According to British authority, last winter's lava flow ran down its fiery way in Honolulu. We can smile at the mistake, but it is no mistake that the islands ought to be able to look to Honolulu for spiritual warmth and fire. (Yes! it is the Central Union Church.—Ed.) "Paul was a debtor to all men, and it will not be an unkind welcome I bestow on you, when I say that you in coming to these shores, will encounter a similar indebtedness. Called are also you to proclaim Christ's gospel in the utmost Not western verge of Christendom. very much farther west of you is longitude 1800 the boundary between the East and the West. From Spurgeon in longitude i° to Beckwith in longitude 1570 represents the breadth of Christendom. "You have come to a movement in the direction of Christian Unity. Such is the union of Bethel and Fort Street. Denominational peculiarities, bad things when they go off and set up for themselves, are good things when they coexist in the same body. In every church ought to be the Methodist element, or the emotionalism of Christianity wrought into a permanency by rules and methods; the Baptist element, or individual conscientiousness asserting itself in small things when they are matters of principle, as well as in large things; the Congregational element, or sanctified common sense of which no church should be bereft; the Presbyterian element, or that consecrated solidity and endurance which give to Christianity its hold-on and never-let-go power; and the Episcopal element, or beauty consrcrated to Christ, beauty of architecture, beauty of ritual, and beauty of method. As things are, you will be minister (angel if you please), ofthe Church in Honolulu, simply.
