Our columns in June recorded the public satisfaction felt in the re-election of this gentleman as President of the Legislature. It is so very soon and suddenly our lot to join in the general mourning for his decease. Mr. Wilder was an experienced and sagacious leader in public affairs. He was successful and enterprising in business, but especially honored for the noble public spirit which made his enterprise tributary to the public welfare, as in the Marine Railway, the Steamship Company, the Kohala Railway, the projected Hamakua and Hilo Railway, and his excellent Volcano route. His superior business ability was habitually directed in lines contributing to the development of our resources and the general welfare. Mr. Wilder was greatly honored for integrity and generosity. All feel that a heavy loss has been sustained in his death. THE M. E. JAPANESE MISSION. The statements by Dr. Hyde with the accompanying correspondence on our seventh page, give the facts concerning the establishing here of a branch of the San Francisco Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church to the Japanese. This has been arranged with the Hawaiian Board —who were prosecuting the work with inadequate means—in the most cordial and fraternal spirit on both sides, and with the most glad and hearty welcome on our part to this grand reinforcement of our Christian work at a time of so great straits. These dear brethren of the Methodist Church have come and given a wonderfully efficient help to the Lord's work in Hawaii at just the time when we were most in clanger of discouragement from the great increase of work, and our lack of men and means. As may be supposed, we had not looked to our Methodist brethren as a source of possible aid. The Lord of the vineyard has chosen his own way of sending relief. They have come, filled with the spirit of Gospel work, and have been favored with remarkable success. They come, not as rivals, but as helpers. One great source of satisfaction in this new organization is in the practical carrying out of the principle of Christian fellowship between sister denominations. Nothing can be more cordial and fraternal than the whole action and spirit on both sides in this matter. Rev. M. C. Harris, Superintendent of the San Francisco Mission, has greatly endeared himself to us in these respects, as well as by his inspiring and affectionate Christian zeal. Another and even deeper satisfaction is in the marked manifestation of the Divine Spirit's power in connection with the labors of Rev. Mr. Miyama. the leader of the new mission. This evidencing appeared in a marked manner in the experiences in the household of The the Japanese Consul-General. were heard echoes of these experiences by many in the testimonies given by the Consul and his household when examined preparatory to baptism.

He had welcomed Mr. Miyama to his house, and under the influence of his sweet and earnest Christian intelligence the seeds of faith began to grow in the Consul's mind and in that of his cultivated and interesting lady. They became in a few months devout and prayerful Christians. Within a few weeks the Divine Power seemed to descend upon the whole household; and every secretary and attache- became deeply moved and converted to Christ. Every domestic servant was also converted. The testimonies of these dearfriendshasbeen profoundly affecting.

But we do think- part of his letter; we were governed in one on which we all cheerfully and that in doing so, they are bound to our belief of Mormon error by other conSEVENTH-DAY-ISM. fraternally agree to differ. The duty of baptism by immersion is one for which a large body of beloved and honored Evangelical churches are strenuous; and immersion itself has, without doubt, been extensively practised in the churches from the beginning. Their other peculiarities of teaching do not, as far as we know, impair the clearness and cogency with which they hold and teach the great doctrines of the blessed Gospel of Jesus Christ. Why should they come here to make war upon us? Why do they not gladly and fraternally work with us? We have religious adversaries enough, full of zeal and of confidence in their own standards. Only the Lord of the harvest knows why still others are permitted to come and in his name to attack the churches first planted here, and so blessed and honored by Divine gifts and fruits of salvation, poor as their service has been. "The Sabbath is, by God's command, the seventh day, and not the first." This is the dogma with which these Christian brothers assail us, declaring us to be apostate churches, because in observing the first day as Sabbath, we thereby violate a.sacred ordinance of God, and are rebellious and disobedient. Our well-known apology for the observance of the first day is, that it is the "Lord's Day" of the New Testament —that it commemorates the Lord's Resurrection—that it is the day which he himself chose and consecrated byrepeated meetings with his disciples that by apostolic testimony, it was of special observance in the church. Add to this that the Didachc, or Teaching of the Twelve Apostles (a church manual in general use near the end of the first century, as all leading scholars agree) expressly designates the Lord's Day, ho kuriakos kurioii, as the day of Christian assembling and worship. low all this may go for nothing as lority with our zealous brethren inst the old Mosaic specification, 'the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." All the above records — I exercise some modesty. If they are siderations. So we have no doubt that really in the right, it is certainly a most some of these Seventh-day friends might extraordinary thing.

We think that the great majority of our working people—and there are few others of us—want a weekly day of rest from labor, and are agreed that it can only be secured by legal enactment. There is no doubt that the great majority, irrespective of religion, are perfectly agreed on Sunday as the most available day, for many preponderating reasons. We think that the majority can hardly be charged with injustice if they refuse to admit claims to exemption from this wholesome law, which, if granted, would go far to break up the useful working of that law. A man might conceive it his religious duty to be dressed in bed and go undressed in the day time. But any inconvenience resulting in his relations to society would have to be charged to his own singularity, and not to the injustice of his neighbors. We are sorry for the inconvenience to which our Seventh-day friends find themselves subject. We cordially wish for them a better understanding of God's will, and more moderation in asserting their own opinions and rights to the detriment of so beneficent an institution as the Christian Sabbath. SERMON BY REV. T. L. GULICK AT THE FUNERAL OF MRS. M. A. ALEXANDER. Haiku, Mali, July 1, 1888. At evening time it shall be light. —Zee. 14:7. This was very true ol our dear Mother Alexander. After a long and bright day, filled with love and usefulness, there was a serene and beautiful evening time, in which a mild radiance shone about her, filling those who knew her with thoughts of heaven, and bright anticipations of the greater glory which she was soon to behold. When she so suddenly left us, it almost seemed as though we could see the pearly gates and the golden streets, where she had entered to join her companion in the toils of earth, the innumerable company of angels and the spirits of the just made perfect. She had but little of this earth's goods but what a rich legacy she has left, no, only to her children, but to us all. Its worth is above all rubies and precious stones. She was so retiring that only those who were intimate with her were conscious of the full strength of her character; but, who that knew her has not felt the warm pulse of her loving heart? God is love; and that divine love had so entered into her that it seemed to have taken possession of her whole being, and to irradiate with light and warmth all who came within the circle of her influence. It was this flame of fathers of New England, to sail from By a providential ordering, our theme New Bedford November l'i>, 1831, to at the last prayer-meeting she attended, spend their lives, far from home and and which she afterwards said she enkindred, in lifting degraded savages out joyed very much, was " Heaven, our of heathen darkness.

O. FORBES. By the Australia, July 21th, was received the very surprising and afflicting intelligence that our beloved and efficient Corresponding Secretary, the Reverend Anderson Oliver Forbes, very suddenly departed this life at Colorado Springs, early on Sunday, July Bth. Mr. Forbes had been enjoying his sojourn exceedingly at this famous health resort, and had apparently made line progress towards the recovery of his long-impaired health. His appetite and digestion had been better than for nearly two years past. He was eagerly planning for Mrs. Forbes to join him in Colorado, as she was much in need of rest and change, and was already embarking for California. This was not to be. After an active day on Friday, visiting at Col. Ue la Vergne's, he found his head somewhat affected on Saturday, apparently tending to sick-headache. It did not seem sufficiently serious to ask medical aid which was at hand. At nine that evening, he retired as usual. Not long after, a lady inmate of the house heard him moaning, and entering his room, found him unconscious upon his bed. Medical aid was at once obtained, but he passed away in the early morning, without a return of consciousness. Congestion of the brain was the immediate cause of death. Col. Dc la Vergne and family showed the utmost kindness. Mr. S. T. Alexander of Oakland telegraphed to have the remains embalmed to await the wishes of Mrs. Forbes who landed in San Francisco on the 10th. By her decision the funeral was proceeded with at the place of decease, she lacking the strength to go on thither, although furnished every possible aid thereto by the kindness of Mr. C. M. Cooke. Mr. Forbes was the eldest son of Rev. Cochran Forbes, missionary at Kaawaloa, Hawaii, where he was born April 14,1833. His earlier schooling was at Punahou under Rev. D. Dole. He went to the United States with his parents on their return thither in 1848, and in the following year united with the church. He graduated at Washington College, Pa., in 1853,and at Princeton Theological Seminarj-in 1858, receiving Presbyterian ordination as an Evangelist at Philadelphia May 5, 1858, and returned to the islands as a missionary of the A. B. C. F. M., via Panama, in September of that year. He was at once stationed at Kaluaaha, Molokai, as successor to the deceased Father Hitchcock, into whose wonderfully successful labors Mr. Forbes man into the Hawaiian work since Mr. entered with remarkable efficiency and iForbes in 1858, and Dr. Hyde in 1877. zeal, having already an idiomatic famil- [Hence the present deficiency.

When the last one in - hoved �Volume 46, No. B.J the Consulate to yield his heart to Christ, made the surrender, there was such rejoicing as stirred every heart to its depths; and the next day the rejoicings were renewed as those associated with Rev. Mr. Miyama gathered at his house to hear the story. Rev. Mr. Harris, Superintendent of the Japanese Mission in San Francisco, had come to Honolulu on the steamer arriving July *th. The new converts were eager to make some public acknowledgement of their faith. They wished to be baptized by Rev. Mr. Miyama. Arrangements were accordingly made for a Union Consecration Service in the Central Union Church, Sunday afternoon, July 15th. After brief addresses by Rev. Mr. Harris, Rev. Dr. Hyde and M. Taro Ando, the ordinance of Baptism was administered in Japanese by Rev. Mr. Miyama, and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper by Rev. Dr. Beckwith and Mr. Harris. The persons baptized were M. Taro Ando, the Japanese Consul, Mrs. Ando, four attaches of the Consul, two domestic servants, also a woman and her child from Mr. Miyama's household. There were present and participants in the Communion, Chinese, Japanese, Gilbert Islanders, Hawaiians, English, uniting with members of the Central Union Church in this unique, impromptu, impressive service. The coming of Rev. Mr. Miyama was at the desire of the Japanese Christians in San Francisco, who deputed him to come and look after the religious welfare of the 4,500 Japanese laborers, that have been brought to these islands. It is hoped that his work may take on some permanent form, and it was with a view to arrange for this that Rev. Mr. Harris came to Honolulu. The correspondence which follows shows how satisfactorily this has been arranged: Hon. A. F. Judd, Pres. Hawaiian Board. Dear Brother:—-The attention of the Japanese Christians of San Francisco, belonging to the Japanese Mission, was first directed to the Japanese laborers on the Hawaiian Islands about two An earnest desire was years ago. awakened at that time to do something for their countrymen, but owing to business reasons no steps were taken. The interest however continued to grow, and finally took shape in the visit of Rev. K. Miyama in September, 1887, the object of which was to ascertain their condition, and if anything could be done for them. Upon his return he reported that Rev. Dr. Hyde, Mr. F. Damon, and many other friends of the Japanese, had already taken steps to Christianize the people, but that they were embarrased for want of trained Japanese workers, and recommended that we send one or two young men to the Islands to work under the Hawaiian Board. While the matter was under consideration, letters were received from Messrs. Irwin, Ando, and Damon, urging the immediate return of Mr. Miyama 67 THE FRIEND. to continue the work so auspiciously grace that has been going on during the begun, Mr. Irwin offering to meet all past few months, culminating in the financal outlay necessary. As Mr. Mi- Union Consecration Services in the yama had been appointed to the Mission Central Union Church on Sunday afterin San Francisco, he was not at liberty noon, July 15th. We have been devoutly to respond to the proposition made to thankful that there was such a man as him, and in order to return to the Isl- Rev. K. Miyama here to urge forward ands and prosecute the work, he must and direct the work. We have been either resign from the ministry in the glad to welcome Mr. Shimidzu, Mr. M. E. Church or be appointed by one of Ukai and Mr. Sunamoto, your helpers our superintendents and go out as an authorized representativeoi'the Methodist Mission. We hesitated at taking the latter step, and it was decided that I should come and confer with the Hawaiian Board before taking any action; but this was found to be impracticable, as I could not leave at the time, owing to illness of my wife, and other reasons. Accordingly after much prayful consideration, it was decided to send Mr. and Mrs. Miyama, and Mr. Ukai to begin the work at once in connection with the Japan Mission of San Francisco. These workers are now on the field and ready to go forward and give the Gospel to their countrymen, in cooperation with the Christian people of these Islands. While for many reasons, we should like to unite in forming a purely independent organization among the Japanese here, yet we are not at liberty to do so while sustaining our present relationship to our Conference and Missionary Society. We recognize the devoted and successful labors of Rev. Dr. Hyde, Mr. Damon, and many others in behalf of the Japanese; and we desire that they continue to cooperate with these Japanese toilers in the common work of the Master. We do not seek to. magnify denominational distinctions, but to strive together with you in the Gospel in saving men. I desire to express my profound appreciation of the cordial and catholic spirit that you and all the brethren have manifested in the conferences held upon this subject; and I earnestly pray that we may all be so led by the Holy Spirit, that the cause of the Lord, so precious to us all, may not only suffer no injury, but be greatly promoted. Yours fraternally, M. C. Harris, Supt. Japan Mission, San Francisco. Board of Hawaiian Evangelical Association. Rev. M. C. Harris, Sup't of the Japanese Mission, San Francisco. The undersigned, Dear Brother: members of the special committee of the Hawaiian Board on Chinese and Japanese Evangelization, have been instructed to reply to your communication of the 24th instant, read at the meeting of the Board last evening. It has given us great pleasure to meet you, and to unite with you as occasion offered, in religious meetings and exercises with the Japanese resident in Honolulu. We have rejoiced with you also in the incidents and the developments of the wonderful work of divine — in the San Francisco Mission, who have felt moved to come to the islands and undertake Christian work among their countrymen resident here. We most heartily reciprocate your desire for some possible organic union outside of any lines of denominational nomenclature. But we fully appreciate your loyalty to the Church in which you hold recognized official positions, and your reluctance to compromise yourselves or others by any action inconsis tent therewith. In view of acknowledg ed difficulties in uniting differing ecclesiastical polities, we yet believe with you that cooperation in some form is both desirable and practicable. Taking this view of the circumstances in which we find ourselves, we most heartily respond to your expressed deWe welsire for such cooperation. come yourselves, Mr. Miyama, and any who may be hereafter associated in your mission to the Japanese in Hawaii nei. We have enjoyed working together in various forms of Christian activity and usefulness. We assume no right or form of direction or control in the conduct of the work, which is distinctly re cognized as originating from the Japanese Mission in San Francisco, and con ducted under its auspices. In whatever way our Christian people, outside of your ecclesiastical organization, haying been accustomed to work undenominationally, may render aid or comfort, we are ready to unite with you in active efforts for the one great object of the working Church, the glory of God in the salvation of souls, and particularly the lifting up of these Japanese to the privileges and responsibilities of the Christian life of faith and hope and love. We understand that you leave Rev. Mr. Miyama at the head of this work, and with him we shall be pleased to confer, as occasion may arise, in regard to the time, place, or method of such Christian work as may seem to him desirable and feasible for any of our people to do. We assure you that any and all will most gladly and heartily do whatever they can to help on the good work so auspiciously begun. May the Lord of the Harvest send forth more laborers and give abundant increase to all work for the common Master. Yours in Christian fellowship and C. M. Hyde, work. S. E. Bishop, E. G. Beckwith.

Mr. George Williams, the founder of the Young Men's Christian Association, is expected to be present at the World's Convention which convenes in Stockholm the fifteenth of the present month. Few men have lived to see a work of their own planting so abundantly honored of God and fruitful. From one single company of consecrated young men there have grown nearly four thousand Associations, with a membership of more than two millions, whose fraternal grasp encircles the entire globe. While the history of the movement extends over a period of forty-four years yet the marked growth, numerically and otherwise, has been principally within the last twenty-five years. The last five years have been years of unprecedented financial prosperity, as evinced by the "building boom" that has extended over the entire field of Association effort. The numerous handsome and substantial Y. M. C. A. buildings that have been erected in small as well as large cities have given the work a prominence and permanency that promise well for the future, if the spiritual forces keep pace with the material progress. During these last few years not so much attention has been given to multiplying the numbers of Associations as to perfecting the organization of those already established, and this cannot be fully accomplished until the Association owns a home, specially planned and fully equipped for its own peculiar work. The number of buildings owned by the Associations in America has nearly doubled during the last five years, the present number being 132. During the same period the total net property owned by American Associations has increased from $3,330,786 to $7,201,658; and the number of persons employed in the work has increased from 255 to 752, with 43 positions temporarily vacant at the present time. JAPANESE Y. M. C. A. The work connected with the Japanese Y. M. C. A. has been greatly stimulated by a visit from Rev. M. C. Harris, Superintendent of the Japanese Mission in San Francisco. A very pleasant welcome reception was given Mr. Harris at Queen Emma Hall on July 9th, and at the same place Thursday evening, July 26th,an interestingfarewell reception was given to Mr. Harris and Mr. Shirhidzu, whoreturned to San Francisco on the following Saturday. A large number of friends were present to show their interest and join in the exercises, which consisted of speeches and singing [Augst, 1888 HINTS FOR LEADING A MEETING.

GEMS FROM SCHOPENHAUER. . There is in the world only one false being, that is man. He stands as a blemish in nature. However closely friendship, love and marriage bind men, each man ultimately only means well by himself, or at most, by his child. Wherein should one refresh oneself from the endless deception, falsity and malice of mankind, if dogs were not there in whose honest faces one could look without mistrust? Women remain children their lives long, only see what is immediately before them, cling to the present, take the appearance for the reality, and prefer trifles to things of the greatest importance. Before a tribunal, two male witnesses should outweigh any two, or even four female witnesses. For I believe that the female sex, in the mass, emits daily three times as man)' lies as the male. A woman always needs a guardian, and should never, therefore, act as one. Between men exists by nature indifference, but between women exists by nature hostility. Only the beclouded intellect of man could apply the term 'fair' to the lowgrown, narrow-shouldered, wide-hipped and short-legged sex. The European lady is a being that should not exist; there should be only housewives and girls who hope to become housewives, and they should be brought up therefore, not to arrogance, but to domesticity and subjection. The republican system is as unnatural to man as it is unfavorable to the higher intellectual life, and so to the arts and sciences. How beneficial would be the sixteen hours of the wearisome and thereby dangerous Sunday, if twelve of them were distributed over all the days of the week! The true national character of the Germans is clumsiness; this is what is conspicuous in their walk, their actions, their speech, their conversation, their understanding and thinking, but quite especially in their style of writing. The English are by nature better provided with understanding, intelligence, power of judgment and firmness of character, than any other nation, but sunk far below any other and made positively contemptible by their stupid church superstition. Educated Englishmen, travelling on the continent, and manifesting their Sabbatarian superstition, should be shamed into common sense by being treated with unconcealed contempt. Journalists are like small dogs, who whenever anything moves, forthwith set up a loud barking.—Gentlemen's Magazine. Some "advanced thinkers" are just now making Schopenhauer their Bible.

The second of last April a Protestant pastor of Malaga, Senor Vila, was summoned before the court of that city to answer for having trampled on the laws of Spain. A priest of Malaga had distributed a printed circular in the part of the city where the protestant chapel was, in which he says: "The beautiful image of the 'Virgen dc los Dolores,' so loved and venerated in these regions, will return in a few days to dwell in your midst, and will rejoice with its presence your fields, will protect your dwellings, and shelter under its mantle of mercy your dear families. I also firmly believe that the mere presence of this holy image of sorrow will be all sufficient to deliver you from the wretches who seek your souls, not to save them and direct them to heaven, but to destroy them, carrying them away to eternal condemnation. "Yes, my beloved children, the old and already rickety protestantism, discredited and moribund in its own country, Germany and England, has wished to try its fortune in Spain, ever virgin in the faith," &c, &c. Senor Vila replied in a circular: "We will not stop to comment at large on the assertion as an article of faith 'that the image of the Virgin of Sorrows will rejoice with its presence your fields, will protect your homes and shelter under its mantle of mercy your families.' This is pure paganism. Everybody knows that from the same wood of which the artificer made this image, he could make a manger for the horse of the priest. And why should not the manger have the same virtue as the image of the Virgin of Sorrows? But we have a few words to say on what follows. The priest firmly believes that the mere presence of the image of the Sorrows will be sufficient to frighten away the Protestants from the ' Gate of the Tower.' He is mistaken. Our presence there will be more constant to combat idolatry, and we will continue to show to all, from the Sacred Scriptures, that there is a commandment of God which the church of the priest hides from the people, that forbids the making of images to be venerated, which forbids their worship or giving to them any religious homage: teaching us to love, venerate and worship God only through Jesus Christ. We preach these truths, and we teach the people to go to God through the mediatorship of Jesus Christ alone, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." There is considerable more in similar strain in both circulars, but the above is the most serious and significant portion of each as was shown by the way in which they were singled out by the court. Senor Vila's offense would doubtless have been more grave if he had simply quoted Isaiah 44:9-19, Psalm 115:4-8 and Exodus 20:1, 5. For this sacrilege of "comparing," as the court says,"the sacred image of la Virgen dc los Dolores with the manger of the horse of the priest and attributing the same virtue to this miserable object as to that, by which the greatest scorn is thrown upon the worship of the holy images," etc., Pastor Vila is condemned to "two years, four months and one day «£ imprisonment; to pay a fine of two hundred and fifty pesetas ($5O) and the costs of court." The case has been appealed to the Supreme Court. We and many others will await with much interest the result of the second trail. Spanish Romanists are learning by a novel experience in>Micronesia and elsewhere that they cannot do what they please with closed doors, as in the palmy days of the Spanish Inquisition. Since the failure at Sioux City, lowa, to convict the man who murdered Rev. Mr. Haddock at the instigation of the saloonkeeper, the reaction and uprising of feeling in Sioux City have totally exterminated the saloons there, and nearly all the men engaged in the business have either fled or are in prison. The gambling houses and brothers are being closed as fast as the Law and Order League can bring it about. The laws are now better enforced there than in any other large city in Iowa; it is growing more rapidly; the churches are adding scores to their membership. It was a pitiful thing that Haddock's death should have gone unvisited by the law; but it is a great joy to learn that the law was all the more vividly written on the hearts of the citizens of Sioux City. Why should it be thought incredible that God should raise the dead ? is Paul's triumphant question to King Agnppa. Why, thou creature listening to the blowing of the winds, thou creature gladdened with the waves of light that reach thee from the distant sun, why, thou creature of quivering nerve, dependent for thy sentient life upon the interweaving of subtlest agencies, whose secrets laugh thy knowledge all to scorn, why should it be incredible to thee that God, the living God, should, if thou dost ask of Him, find other gate ways than those of sense and space, and fill thee with the beginning* of a second and more wonderful existence? If conscience smite thee once, it is admonition; if twice, it is condemnation. �THE FRIEND. T rPHEO. H. DAVIES k CO., Kaahumanu Street, Honululll. Generalcy Commission . igen is 1).
