QUESTION.
Tm: leading event of local interest for
the month has been the decision given
by the Supreme Court upon the question
of the independent right of the King to
exercise the veto power, without the
" advice and consent of the "Cabinet."
This right was denied by the Legislature, and several bills vetoed by the
King contrary to the advice of the
Cabinet, were promulgated as laws.
Resistance was made to the enforcement
of one such law; on appeal to the
Supreme Court, four Justices united in
a decision that the King's veto was a
valid one, and the vetoed bill no law.
Justice Dole rendered a dissenting
opinion.
This decision of the Court is doubtless
final in the matter. It has, however,
been received by the public with extreme
dissatisfaction, and we think it correct
to say that the weight of legal opinion
in Honolulu, by a large preponderance,
is adverse to that of the Bench.
The positions advanced by Mr. Dole
have been much applauded, and those of
the majority of the Court severely criticised in private, as well as in the dailypapers. It is noticeable that the rejoinders in support of the decision have
been few, and thus far feeble, being confined mainly to assertion of the finality
thereof.

We have nodoubt that such will be the result here. %The support lent by the Court
may possibly serve to incite the King
to further exercise of the Veto. If so, it
will only be the means of creating a
mischievous and useless discord between
himself and the Legislature which, like
the British Parliament, is now the actual
if not the nominal depositary of the
supreme power. In any such contest,
the utter weakness of the King will be
speedily exposed. We do not at all expect that he will make any attempt of
ihe kind. He is tired of the hopeless
contention, and we think is sure to yield
to sound advisers.
In any case, there is nothing of which

DR.MEREDITH ON
DENOMINATIONALISM.
Dr. R. R. Meredith of Brooklyn began
his address to the Congregational Club
by saying, that the fact that churchmen
of every denomination were able to find
in the New Testament that their own
form of church government was the
Scriptural and divinely appointed one was,
to him, conclusive evidence that the
New Testament contained no formula of
church organization, unless it were that
of Episco-presby-gationism. He firmlybelieved that God had left the whole
matter of church government to the
sanctified common sense of men, and that
that was the divinest form of church
government which was best adapted to
the community in which it worked.
After this very liberal introduction,
Dr. Meredith went on to say that different forms of church government were
best adapted to work among different
classes in the community, and that he
believed that Christ's church, because of
its denominational lines and divisions,
was a grander and stronger body for
carrying on the work of evangelizing
the world. He believed that there were
often too many denominations in frontier
towns; he believed that city churches
should co-operate in some of their work,
but after all, he thought that uniformity
and organic unity were not desirable because not natural. The high ideal of
church unity was an impracticable
dream. The church must adapt itself
to human nature, and this it does
through denominationalism. He concluded by saying that Congregationalists
more than any others needed to cultivate tiently wait for time to soften prejudices
the denominational spirit.

bly represent all sides and all types of
what the Spirit of Christ seeks to produce in the thoughts and the lives of
believers. It is given to some to develop doctrine; to others, to search out
the meaning of the Scriptures; to others
to reach out more to the suffering, ignorant and poor. To some, it is given to
conserve the fruits of the past; to others,
to progress to newer conquests of truth
for the future.
The prepossessions and ineradicable
prejudices of men especially need provision for their accommodation by means
of varied forms of church government
and ritual adapted thereto. Because I
like voluntary speech best in public
prayer, am I therefore to object to my
neighbor's enjoyment of the liturgies
and litanies which are sweet and beautiful to his spirit ? Though I enjoy order
and decorousness in public worship, may
not my brother be free to have a church
where he may shout amen? If I demand
that no priest intervene between me and
my Father and Savior, am I yet to deny
to my brother (whom I think mistaken)
his privilege of the sacerdotal intercession and absolution? If I think that I
find my Lord more as He would have
me do, shall I deny that my Catholic
brother is also accepted of the Lord, and
shall be permitted to seek Him in the
only way he has learned to follow?
What seems to us the chief element
of Christian Unity to be earnestly sought
after, and by all means, is a cordial recognition by the different denominations
of each other's valid church existence
and Christian character, and a hearty
and affectionate fellowship with each
other in all spiritual and benevolent
work for men. It is of course too much
to expect this in the near future, in view
of the deep and fixed prejudices existing,
ass to the fundamental nature of points
of doctrine and of order on which the
\arious churches differ. We must pa-
EXPULSION OF ANOTHER MISSIONARY.
The Rev. J. Jones has been for 34
years the agent of the London Missionary Society at Mare, one of the Loyalty
Islands, which are under the French
Government of New Caledonia. A gunboat was sent, and Mr. Jones was taken
from his desk while translating the Scriptures, and without notice or opportunity
to arrange his multifarious affairs, hurried on board, and landed at the capital
Noumea the next day, December 10th.
He immediately proceeded to Sydney,
where he filed protests and claims for
losses at £2,000.
It seems that the French had sometime agb located at Maro two Roman
priests and one French Protestant pastor.
The native Protestants refused to submit to the French pastor's jurisdiction,
Mr. Jones having been officially notified
that he was no longer at the head of the
church at Mare). He continued, however,
to labor privately, dispensing medicine,
and translating the Scriptures, and doing nothing to disaffect the natives towards the French authorities. " Englishmen will hardly comprehend the
spirit of bitterness and opposition to
Protestant missions existing in the
hearts of many Frenchmen. Connected
with this animosity, there now rankle in
the minds of some at Noumea, the disappointment and vexation of being deprived of the New Hebrides."
We derive the above from the Australia;: Independent of Jan. 15. It is due
to Frenchmen to say that their officials
have dealt very kindly with our Hawaiian Protestant missionaries in the Marquesas, where there was no political
complication to affect their relations.
If the widow's two mites had been
put on compound interest, and if she
had lived to the present day she would
have been a millionaire on earth. But
her money has been, if we may so speak,
on compound interest ever since, and
she is now a millionaire in Heaven.
The religions of the world have been
religions of fear; but Christ says to his
disciples: "Fear not; it is I."
Whatsoever we beg of God, let us
also work for it.

The Earth's Surface • features and
Volcanic Phenomena.
By Wm.
Lowthian Green, Honolulu, 1887;
PP- V, 337.
The first chapter of this volume is
iccupied with a succint resume of the
heory of the Tetrahedral Collapse of

Chapter IV.,
"Volcanic Matter.
What is it ?" shows that volcanic matter
is identical with the universal cosmical
matter, as it appears in meteorites, the
sun, stars and comets (an ultra-basic
lava) more or less modified by water and
the earth's atmosphere. The most primitive form of the interior magma, such
as wells up so copiously at Mauna Loa,
is substantially the same as the stony
portion of meteorites, which Norman
Lockyer has just proved to be the raw
material of all solar systems. This raw
material, however, as Mr. Green shows,
has in the earth's crust undergone a long
series of changes. By a system of mineral evolution, it has passed from the
forms of anhydrous, unstable and basic
minerals such as our Hawaiian lavas, to
the hydrous, stable and silicated forms
found in granite, gneiss, serpentine, etc.,
minerals almost unknown here. The
lesson taught in this regard by Hawaiian
volcanoes is, that the ultra-basic and
basaltic lavas, and volcanoes, have no
necessary connection with water, whilst
the trachytic eruptions in continental
volcanoes are necessarily due to the long
continued action of internal waters

ous vapor in the form of a vast white
cumulus with well defined summit, not
fanning out at all. This cumulus was
blazing with electrical discharges. At
its base was visible a broad stratum of
smoke, highly illuminated from below.
The position of this cumulus was not
on Mauna Loa, but over the point of
eruption at Kahuku, thirty miles from
the summit, and 150 miles from the observer. The source of this immense
column of aqueous vapor is believed to
have been not steam from below, but
from the inrush of vapor-laden air
from the ocean, drawn in by the tremendous heat of several square miles of
incandescent lava surface. The lava
was not shot into the air in explosive
columns by any steam, but welled up
from the earth in rounded fountains.
Both the scientific world and the Hawaiian public are to be congratulated
that so experienced and able an interpreter as Mr. W. L. Green has been
found for the giant and truly typical
volcanoes of Hawaii.
By means of exceptional opportunities for volcanic study, by wide and
deep scientific culture, and by rare philosophic insight, our author, we feel
thoroughly assured, has done his adopted country the honor of contributing an
important and permanent addition to
the world's knowledge of the internal
forces and structure of the Earth.

Arabia is now the most inaccessible, not

It is more dangerous to travel in Arabia

Mr. Palgrave, the chief authority on

seriously expect to see the Arabs assume

Two qualifications are needed for a

say he must be able to say it neatly,
gracefully, and effectively.
Said the old lady, bewildered by the
freedom with which certain Liberals
treated her articles of faith, " I don't
care so much about predestination and
free-will, and all them sort of things, but
if they take away my total depravity I
shall feel as though I hadn't any religion at all."
"Probation—your chance of eternal

Be reminded that the personal spirit
of the Eternal actually dwells in you.
You have not to appeal with passionate
outcries to God to send the Spirit— the
—
21
Spirit has come as truly as Christ has
come. Consider what knowledge you
may have concerning God and things
divine since the Spirit dwells in you;
what power for Christian righteousness
since the Spirit dwells in you; what
passion of devotion to God since the
Spirit dwells in you; what victories of
faith, what hopes of glory, since the
Spirit dwells in you.
Unable to distinguish one tune from
another, to Whittier, music is an unknown language—and yet what melodies his heart has sunt;! The poet discerns "in all familiar things the fancies
underlying," and sings of the huskers
and shoemakers, the barefoot boy, the
telling of the bees, the pumpkin, and
the commonest things of life. He absorbs the stories rife in his boyhood, of
Quaker, witch and Indian, as the plant
drinks the sunshine and dew. He is intensely American, and whatever touches
his brother, black or white, he feels.
His war poems have the stateliest rhythmic march and a rush of passion carrying all before it, for every drum-beat
vibrated in his heart.
"The Catholic Church," writes one of
the most thoughtful orthodox men of
Boston, "is to be let alone. Like the
Jewish Temple after the resurrection of
our Lord, it is allowed to stand for a
while after its main work has been done,
until the transfer can be made from it to
evangelical Christianity. If the people
are allowed to lose confidence in their
Church before they get confidence in the
Church of the future, they will go to in*
fidelity and atheism. There must be a
transition period between the old and
the new, during which that which is to
be done away nevertheless remains, and
has its temporary office. The twentieth
century will dispose of the Papacy, and
then the crossing-over will begin. I
rejoice in the responsiveness of the
Papal Church in this country to the
light of purer doctrine, and the general
radiance of the nineteenth century."
Are you gaining in steadiness? Many
a Christian life, if such it can be called,
is little more than a series of spasms.
Wonderful purposes are formed, and
wonderful courage ts felt, but there is no
"holding on." Purposes dissipate;
courage fails; plans are given up; and
effort wholly or partially ceases. W/»at
resolutions and pledges characterized
the beginning of say this year. The
Bible was to be read daily. Secret
prayer was to be the habit of the life.
Scores of blessed things were to be
done. Have they been done? What ups
and downs we have along the years!
What crooked paths we make! How
hard we find it to hold straight on! Cold
conquers us. Heat conquers us. Passion conquers us. We tire, turn aside,
compromise, haul down our flag, surrender. It is a wonderful thing to grow
steady and unfaltering in our faith and
zeal. Are we gaining on this line?

LETTER FROM NEW HEBRIDES.
Df.ar Dk. Hyde:—Now that we are
again settled in a home of our own, I
will write you somewhat about our
doings and going* since we left your
hospitable roof. Our voyage to Sydney
was speedy and pleasant, the weather
continuing fine most all the way.
Nothing of note transpired on the passage. A warm welcome awaited us in
Sydney, and three weeks appeared to
pass very quickly there.
On the 2nd April we sailed on our
mission vessel Dayspring for this
group. We visited all the stations occupied by missionaries, and were pleased
and cheered to hear of progress all along
the line. Our annual missionary conference was held in May on the island
of Ambrim. We were very sorry to find
that Mr. Murray, our missionary on that
island, was insane. Fever, combined
with undue depression on account ofhis
wife's sudden death a year ago, had
proved too much for his mind. I am
glad to be able to say that, since he left
the island, he has almost wholly- regained
his reason. However, he is lost to our
mission.
This season there were three new
missionaries to settle besides ourselves.
In order to accomplish this work, and
give us all comfortable houses, a vessel
was chartered in Sydney to bring down
building material and goods that our
Dayspring could not fetch. The Cairndliu (the chartered vessel) was appointed
to settle one of the new brethren and us
in the north of the group, while the
Dayspring took the other two young
brethren to Mollicolla. We settled Mr.
Landels on Malo, or as called in the
charts St. Bartholomew's Island; and, on
leaving there on the 17th of June, our vessel ran ashore and became a total wreck.
All our stores and effects were saved, but
in a damaged condition. The vessel
filled inside of ten hours after she struck,
and a number of our cases were under
water for a day or tw.o. After three
weeks of tent-life on Malo among the
savages, the Dayspring came to our
rescue. One of our boats went a three
days' voyage hunting her up. From
Malo we came'over here some eight
or nine miles and located on this south
side of the large island of Espiritu Santo.
We have our home on a little isle lying
close to the main land, and forming a
good harbor for ships. There is quite a
large village on this islet, the people
thereof cultivate on the mainland. It
is, so far as we can yet judge, a comparatively healthy place. We have been
here now about two and a half months,
and like the place and people very well.
It is a wholly untried field, no teacher
or missionary ever having even landed
here before us. The people are quite
friendly. Some of them have been away
with white men for three years or so,
and consequently have a little knowledge
of English. There are no less than four
different dialects spoken on the south
side of Santo. However, we hope to
get along by acquiring one of them.
The language of this village is spoken
in ten others, and is more or less understood by many more. I have received
some benefit from Dr. Codrington'a
book that you were so very kind as to
give me, and I hope to gather some information from it that will help me in
this tongue. The language of Mota, of
which he gives such a full account, is
much more closely allied to this than
the Aneitvumese is.
We have a beautiful situation and a
comfortable home. Our hope is that
the Lord may use us here for His gloryin bringing in many of these degraded
cannibals. Our postal advantages are
not very good here. We have not heard
a word from home since we saw you,
but we expect our vessel back again
either this month or early in the following. The French have not made their
appearance in Santo yet, and we knownothing about their proceedings elsewhere, excepting that two small militaryposts are still maintained in the group—
one on Efatc and one on Mollicolla.
There are five or six priests in the group,
but as yet they have not made their influence felt. There is said to be one
stationed on the northeast of this island,
but as that is 70 or 80 miles away from
us, we never hear of him at all.
I am, dear Dr. Hyde, yours faithfully,
Joseph Annand.
Tangoa, Santo, Oct. 7, 18K7.
OUR JAPANESE MISSIONARY.
We have recently had the pleasure of
welcoming to our shores anew Christian
worker who has already, with much
energy and enthusiasm, entered upon
his duties. This is Mr. T. Shimidzu (a
licensed exhorter of the Methodist
Church), who has accepted the invitation
of the Hawaiian Board of Missions to
labor among the Japanese residing in
Honolulu and the country districts. He
is connected with the Japanese Methodist Church of San Francisco, and brings
most cordial letters of recommendation
from both Rev. Mr. Harris, Superintendent, anjl Rev. Mr. Mujama, Assistant
Superintendent of the Mission to the
Japanese in that city. The interest and
enthusiasm manifested by these gentlemen and the Japanese connected with
their work in San Francisco in the
Christianization of the Japanese on these
Islands has been very marked, and we
have every reason to feel most grateful
to them for their earnest efforts. It is a
beautiful witness to the missionary
spirit of the religion of Jesus Christ.
Mr. Harris writes as follows: "The
Japanese Christians here have been
thinking and praying over the matter
for nearly two years, resulting in a deep
conviction of duty, which finally took
shape in raising money to send Mr.
Mujama to the Islands last Autumn.
After his return they organized a local
missionary society for the purpose of
aiding the Christianization of the Japanese on the Hawaiian Islands and on the
Pacific Coast. Since Brother Mujama's
return these poor students have raised
over $60 to aid in the blessed work.
Brother T. Shimidzu, who goes out by
this steamer and the bearer of this letter
is sent by this Society. One young man
who works for his living, a school boy,
gave ten dollars at one time for this ob-
ject."
Mr. Shimid/u is now about twentyfive years old. He was born in the
northern part of Japan and came when
quite young to reside in Tokio. Later
he entered the Naval Technical College
of that city as a student, and after a course
of study covering some five years graduated from this institution. A long and
serious illness compelled him to desist
from further studies in Japan, and ultimately led to important changes in his
life. He was advised to visit the United •
States, and there study ship-building.
About two years ago he landed in .San
Francisco. Through the earnest efforts
of our friend, Rev. Mr. Mujama, he was
brought under the beneficial influences
of the Methodist Mission and in time
became an earnest and devoted Christian. He has resided in San Francisco,
supporting himself by the work of his
hands and engaging as opportunity
offered in earnest Christian work.
When the call came from our Islands,
he felt moved to accept it and we feel
sure he has not come in vain. Most
heartily has he been welcomed by his
countrymen and is rapidly winning their
confidence and esteem. We would ask
for him and his important work a large
interest in the prayers of all Christians.
The outlook for missionary effort among
the Japanese is most encouraging. It
is possible that Rev. and Mrs. Mujama
may come to our Islands for a visit ere
long. Their coming will be hailed with
delight by many. May God's richest
blessing rest on the work here and also
abide with the dear brethren in San
Francisco, who have so generously aided
F. W. D.
in its happy initiation.
In the Pacific, in a letter from Captain
Garland, we find the following items
about Ponape, not before received here:
"The foreigners who had so much to
do with affairs are now taking a back
seat. Kehoe and Tim Curry are prisoners in the hulk. Old Christian is carried
off to Manila, probably never to return.
Skillings is at Mokil with his family.
"Miss Ingersoll is in her new house; it
is where Mr. Rand's tool house used to
be. The Lof the girls' school is raised."

Relative Number of Christians.—
The number of Christians has increased
century by century until now they far
outnumber the adherents of any other
faith. The ordinary statistics, by which
Buddhists are made to outnumberChristians, are totally misleading. The difference between Quakerism and the Church
of Rome is trifling as compared with
the difference between sects who are
all classed together as Buddhists, but
who have almost nothing in common
except the name and a few merely outward and material resemblances. To
call all Mohammedans Christians would
be very much more reasonable than to
consider as adherents of one religion all
who call themselves Buddhists. As this
is not all, for in China, which contains
most of the adherents of Buddhism, this
is only one belief among many, and the
same man is often Buddhist, Taouist,
Confucianist, and ancestor-worshipper
all in one. Taking Christians and Mohammedans together, it is probable that
there are from five to six hundred millions of people who believe in one God,
Creator, and Governor of the world, who
has icvealed himself in Jesus Christ,
while it is extremely improbable that
even a third as many are agreed on any
other creed.—Church Review.
Very Like an Anthem.—A sailor
who had been to a cathedral, and had
heard some very fine music, was descanting particularly upon an anthem
which gave him much pleasure. His
shipmate listened for a time, and then
said : "I say, Bill, what's a hanthem?"
"What!" replied Bill, "do you mean
to say you don't know what a hanthem
is ?" " Not me." " Well, then, I'll tell
yer. If I was to tell yer, 'Ere, Bill,
give me that 'andspike,' that wouldn't
be a hanthem. But was Ito say, Bill,
Bill, Bill, give, give, give, me, give me
that. Bill,' give me, give me that hand,

why, that would be a hanthem."

The progress of humanity is hopeless,
apart from the Divine regenerating
power and the liberty wherewith Christ
makes free.
Will the world never grow tired of its
fatuous attempts to demonstrate that
human selfishness by natural evolution
will work out universal bliss ?
The flesh is not easily subdued. The
carnalized mind shrink from its own
purification. It rebels against what
seems destruction to its joy.
Despair of no sanctity. Why should
you so despair—you the children of the
Eternal, who have been made partakers
of the Divine nature ; the inspired men
and inspired women ; you who have received the Holy Ghost, although your
negligence'and unbelief may have suppressed this work in you?
Christianity wherever it has gone, and
nowhere more so than in India, has promoted the dignity of woman, the sanctity of marriage, and the brotherhood of
man. Where it has not actually converted, it has checked and controlled ;
where it has not renewed, it has refined;
and where it has not sanctified, it has
softened and subdued. Lord Lawrence.
The only thinkers of to-day that face
serenely the coming floods of popular
power are those who cling to the oldfashioned ideas of God and the freedom
of the human soul. To them the sight
of this long sought-for open sea is one
of glory and not of terror. The roar of
the multitudinous waters as they break
upon the crumbling institutions of the
past is music and not horror to their
minds. For far above the surging
masses shines the Sun of Righteousness, with healing in his wings.
It is the threshold truth of the Kingdom of God that spirit must conquer
flesh, the selfishness of the natural man
be purged away in the overpowering
love of God, and the lust of the flesh be
swallowed up in the vast and eternal enterprises of the Holy Ghost.
Those who accept the Bible as the
Word of God in its entirety embrace a
system which brings no intellectual
shame. Take Christ's manhood, however, and deny his deity; cull out parts of
his moral code, and deny his miracles;
select those passages which reveal the
blessedness of the holy in heaven, and
reject those which declare the misery of
the lost, and there is only patchwork.
Why call a man a crank, when no
one can turn him ?
A heterogeneous hodge-podge, made

You seek to produce the Millenium
by change in administration or in the
structure of society. You forget that
the best of constitutions would prove unworkable in hell and would be quite
superfluous in heaven. You cannot
liberate a kingdom of bad people by a
good constitution. You may well despair of an unregenerate democracy.
The Sovereignty of the People is bound
up with the Sovereignty of God, with
the capability of the human soul to be
transformed, and the readiness of the
Holy Spirit to endow it with new life.
What lies in the cradle sleeping there?
What life looks up out of the laughing
eyes? What service waits in the tiny
hands? What errands in the feeble feet?
And yet to most mothers, the babe
counts not as the beginning of a new infinity, but only as the object of a careless, coquettish fondling. Blessed is the
mother who sees more truly what birth
and maternity mean; who catches some
glimpse of what the cradle contains as
she rocks it; and who ponders these
things in her heart.
Dorchester's statistics show that in
1886 the number of communicants in
Protectant churches in the United States
were as follows: All Methodists, 4,601,-416; all Baptists, 3,729,745; all Presbyterians, 1,431,249; Lutherans, 930,830;
Congregational, 486,879; Protestant
Episcopal, 415,605 smaller bodies,
579,427: total, 12,175,151. Estimating
each communicant as representing two
other persons in the sairje family, we
find a population of 36,000,000 attached
to the Protestant churches in the United
States, besides 7,200,000 of Roman
Catholic population.
Say not we are going to the grave."
You are coming nearer and nearer to
a magnificent land, and a more populous
city than any that the earth knows.
The gr,pat majority are on the other side
of the river. You are going to Mount
Zion. You are going up higher—to the
heavenly Jerusalem, and to the general
assembly of the blessed. Ages and ages
they have been assembling. It is a
vast company—a heavenly gathering—a
great church —a church where Christ in
God is the light and the joy of life.
You are marching fast in that direction ;
you are day by day coming nearer to the
spirits of just men made perfect; to
those whose inferiorities are cleansed
off; to the most powerful, the truest,
the sweetest, the noblest, and the best
men that the earth has known; and
since you are going toward all these,
what a desecration it is to say that you
are going toward the grave.
