He was expressly forbidden to take any part in governmental affairs.When Constitutional Government began to be organized, Dr. G. P. Judd. Rev. Lorrin Andrews and Rev. William Richards withdrew from the mission in order to aid in that important work. At the death of the latter, Rev. R. Armstrong left the mission and took his place. For some twelve years, through these persons, missionary influence predominated in the government. Before that time, no missionary is known to have been in the habit of advising fluking and chiefs as to public affairs. It is impossible, however, that with their immense spiritual influence, and the great force of character of some among them, like Mr. Bingham, the political action of the government should not have felt their influence from time to time from an early date. For reasons which it is not necessary here to discuss, this political influence of the missionaries was always, very obnoxious to most of the foreigners then living here. It is generally admitted, however, that this period of missionary domination was one of efficient and honest administration of affairs. We think also that no one can honestly doubt that but for this missionary intervention no such thing as Constitutional Government could ever have existed in these islands under Hawaiian rulers. It was under God, the creation of the Missionaries. But for the tremendous spiritual and moral uplifting that followed their teachings, the Hawaiian chiefs and people would never have surrendered their old ways and fallen into line with civilized judicial, legislative and administrative institutions as they did with ready consent and zealous co-operation. This is a thing to be expected. It has always existed here in a very pronounced form. It is an old, chronic condition of society. It is a part of the established order of affairs in Honolulu and its surroundings. Everybody has been used to it for the last fifty years. In fact, society always arranges itself into two sides, pulling against each other. Xo doubt, although both sides cannot be equally in the right, this arrangement is to some extent useful, in preventing extreme and hasty action. That ••Missionaries" should be spoken against with so much frequency and energy as they are, may be taken as an evidence, that whatever their faults, they must be at least a very considerable force in the land. They must be a set of people of a good deal of influence, or there would not be so much effervescence as there often is in the animosity expressed towards them. Being such an influential force, it seems inevitable that their influence should be exercised, and appear in the various directions in which men generally act. They will be likely to be found exerting some force in political affairs, as well as in religious, educational, social, and commercial As said above, none of the old misalfairs. This seems natural and inevisionaries are now in active service. table.

Several foreign churches, notably the Central Union Church of Honolulu, are practically the offspring of the old missionary social and religious influence. At any rate all these people and churches have inherited the name, in vulgar parlance, of "missionaries." They are a class of reputable and generally religious people, whose views on morals and politics are substantially in accord with those of the old missionaries, and with those of socalled Evangelical Christians in America and England. They have shared more or less in the financial prosperity of the country. The members of these churches are, to a large extent, leaders in the foreign community, socially and financially, as well as in education and religion. This "Missionary" element is thus be a very large one in the community. Its character, its ability, its share in general affairs, its experience, must be felt necessarily to endow it with a very powerful influence in this country. This influence will, of course, be felt in politics as much as in anything else. In fact it tends to be stronger there than elsewhere from the fact that a large number of these people are identified with this country by birth and early education. They possess a peculiar patriotism in respect to their native land, which amounts to an instinct and an enthusiasm in all public affairs. Hawaii is very dear to them. They have ideals of what can he made of such a country and its people, which they would like to see realized. seen to Wise men will calmly recognize these facts and their causes, and will adapt their conduct to them. They will understand that the so-called missionaries necessarily have and will continue to hold considerable influence in public alfairs. Kvcn if they seriously differ with the "missionaries" upon moral and political questions, they will, like good politicians, try to ally themselves with them as much as they can, just as they always do in business affairs. When men froth out against missionaries it is not the wise men, not at least in their . wiser moments. �Home Missionary Sermon. Preached at CentralUnints< hurc h by Rev. I'. L. (lulick, June 10. 1886. Is. 00:2,, 21. I hy people shall be alt righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the hranch or my planting, the work of my hands, that I may beglorined. A little one shall hecome a thonsaii I and a small one a strong narton. I.the Lord, will hasten it in his lime. There has no doubt, been disappoint- ment arising from an unreasonable ex- pectation in some minds, that the gospel would do for the Hawaiian! in one generation what it has taken it over a thousand years to do for the Anglo-Saxons. Such expectations are not in accord, either with the teaching of history, or of common sense. "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness." "Thy people shall be all righteous, tht> Lord will hasten it in his time." Individuals and multitudes of them may be converted at the first preaching of the gospel, and started on tJie road towards Christian perfection. So a nation, however degraded, may be started on the road that leads to the highest Christian civilization, but the process must be expected to be slow. So all history, even of the most highly endowed races, in the most favorable circumstances, teaches. Thinking men.are coming to recognize more than before that the very constitution, capacities and traits of races, even more than of individuals, are developed, moulded and stamped by the environ- ment in which they live. Given, a race without the light of revelation, living on small tropical islands, without foreign intercourse, without any metals, and consequently without the possibility of good tools or advanced arts, and yet, with the means of subsistence obtainable, almost without labor, from theabundant natural products of land and sea, and with so mild a climate as to feel but little need of clothing or houses—let these have been the uniform conditions of existence for many hundreds and, perhaps, thousands of years—what will be the traits, constitution and capacities developed by such surroundings? Would not an intelligent student of our species predict with certainty, before he had even seen them, that a people so circumstanced would have little capacity, and less inclination, for hard and continuous labor; that they would find it difficult to acquire proficiency in the trades and arts, and especially difficult to compete in these, employments with races that had been trained in them for many centuries; that they would have little or no capacity for commerce or the management of huge and complicated affairs, that they would be, as a race. improvident, pleasure-loving and pas sionate? [September, THE FRIEND. 70 Are the Hawaiians, then, to be blamed because they do not easily become firstclass carpenters and blacksmiths, because they find it difficult to continue steadily at hard labor, and because they do not become successful merchants? Not- withstanding, we are glad to see that, according to the last census, a large percentage of the carpenters and a full half of the printers of the islands, are Hawaiians. What if you think that the Hawaiian acts too constantly on the command: "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn thou not away?" Is he to be severely blamed because he is impulsive, warm-hearted and over-generous; because he is so child-like that he is unable to keep his land or even his house out of the hand of the more shrewd, grasping, land-hungry foreigner? Would not those of the stronger races who are so, not by their own individual virtue, but by heredity, through the discipline of favorable circumstances on unnumbered generations of their ancestors would not these do well, instead of censuring so continually Hawaiian weakness, to remember rather what our common Maker says in reference to greed, self-seeking and avarice, which is idolatry? Would we not all do well to consider less the mote in our brother's eye and more the duties of the strong to the weak' "We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves." What shall we think of those who deliberately lead the natives into extravagance, drinking and debauchery, while at the same time sneering at their ignorance and weakness? Nothing could be more unreasonable than to expect a Pacific islander to leap at a bound to the position which the European has only attained through slow and hard climbing for sixteen centuries. A nation may be born in a day, and a nation may die in a day; but a savage people cannot grow up into the perfection of Christian civilization except through generations of Christian culture. Let us beware of having any part in the heartless and faithless conduct of those who make a parade of the imperfections of Hawaiian Christians, as though the}' would have the world believe that the apostolic labors of the devoted men and women who lifted them out of tlfe most degraded heathenism, had been labor spent in vain. Someone has said that the weaknesses of acknowledged saints are a positive in tpiration when we are tempted to be disheartened by our own failures. So when we remember the grave di lects ol character and the startling sins; the — cowardice, lying, polygamy, adultery and even minder of such old time saints as David, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; when we consider the terrible abuses which existed in the Corinthian and other apostolic churches; when we call to mind the outrageous slavery and the debasing intemperance which existed in the churches of our fathers, and above all, when we consider our own multiform weaknesses and sins, in spite of all our unprecedented advantages, we have no 1888 right to be discouraged on account of the weakness and immaturity of Hawaiian Christians. I have dwelt at some length on this thought because I am convinced that many who wish well to the natives, and who ought to be laboring heartily for their spiritual welfare, are deterred from doing so by unreasonable expectations about them and, consequently, unreasonable disappointment and discouragement at their present attainments. When the American churches ceased sending missionaries to this field, it was hoped that the children of the missionaries together with the other foreign Christians would, by degrees, and so far as it was possible, take the place of the fathers in leading and pressing forward the work. We think that the directors of the American Board, from lack of intimate personal acquaintance, misjudged the advancement, self-directing apd self developing power of the Hawaiian churches in 1863, and that the work was too immature to have been thrown upon those who remained here under the changed relations. We probably agree that it was a mistake for the Board to have so suddenly laid down their half-finished work among a people who were still groping in the twilight and beset by such an incoming flood of temptation. In 1863 Dr. Anderson said to the assembled fathers "It cost our churches more than a million dollars to evangelize this nation, and those churches will have no idea of seeing these evangelical institutions subverted, whatever be the cost of preventing such a disaster." He also said, "The race has been Christianized, but needs a large amount of foreign labor before its Christian institutions can stand without foreign as- sistance." It was twenty-five years ago this month that these statements were made at the formation of the Hawaiian I-Cvangelical Association. Since then most of the fathers have died at their posts, but in that time only one man, I believe, has been sent out to fill the gap! We are glad to be informed that four or fivenew men are now promised. They can not come too soon and will find abundant work on every band. In the mean time we do well to ask ourselves whether we have been, and are, fully meeting all reasonable expectations of us id this matter, Have we shown, and ,ue we showing, the samespirit of devotion and Whole-hearted consecration to the Lord's work that the fathers did? Do We feel and show as much aloha for Hawaiians, and anxiety for the progress of the churches? 1 do not mean to intimate that all, or ;i majority, should become ministers or missionaries. Christian men and women are needed in every department of life, and we must listen to God's call individually; but why should we not all have the self-denying devotion to the Lord's ' �Volume 46, No. 9.] work of the truest missionary? Because the Lord has catled me to be a mereliant Of a planter, docs he, therefore, expect me to be less self-sacrificing for the advancement of his kingdom than if hehad called me to be a missionary in China? Such self-excusing is the curse of the church and the greatest cause of the delay of the salvation of the world. What if God has sent China and Japan and the islands of the sea to our door? What if we have been instrumental in bringing these darkened souls here to toil for the advancement of our worldly prosperity; can we wash our hands of their blood if we fail to do all in our power to give them the bread of spiritual life for the lack of which they are perishing in our very midst? The Hawaiians are struggling in a death grapple with terrible bodily diseases which have been brought to them from foreign lands, and with which their previous training (and habits have not fitted them to contend. The result to the race is still uncertain. But in the meantime an ever increasing population is coming in upon us from America, Europe, the Portuguese islands, Japan and China. In the years that I have been away from my native land, that is since 1860, the foreign population, the industries, and the wealth of the islands have increased enormously. In 1860 the, total foreign population was less than 3,000. In 1884 it was more than 36,000/ The increase of wealth in the hands o? Christ an men and women, with its accompanying power for good, has been correspondingly great. Probably the wealth of the Christian communities is thirty times what it then was. I suppose there are single Christian men who to-day have greater wealth than all the foreign Christians in these islands had forty years ago. What portion of this wealth is being used for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ? Let every one, says the apostle, -'give according to that he hath." Before long a telegraphic cable will probably be laid connecting our islands with each other, and all with America and Australia; and undoubtedly, in the near future, a ship canal or ship railroad will be in use either at Panama, Nicaragua or Tehuantepec. When that timecomes, the commerce of Europe and the Atlantic sea-board of America, with China and Japan, will pass by our very doors. Most of the ships will probably touch at om: of our ports. With our unrivaled climate and productive soil, our population and wealth may be expected to increase more rapidly than at any previous time. Note is our opportunity to get our Christian institutions firmly rooted. God is to-day calling on all Christians in Hawaii nei to consecrate their silver and their gold, their bank stock and plantation stock, their cattle and horses, their merchandise, houses and lands, 71 THE FRIEND. their children and themselves to the work of the Master. To do this is the great est privilege of our lives. When we do it heartily, we will discover for the first time what a blessing property, power and opportunity can become. Are there not several Christian men in our Hawaiian communities, who could individually support three or four missionaries: one in Hawaii, one in Japan, one in China and one in Micronesia, and still have enough and to spare for himself and family? Why not do it? Do you know of any better investment? Is there any which would be more pleasing to the Master, more profitable to the donor, or a greater blessing to the world? A student, about to be admitted to the New York bar. has pledged himself to support ;i friend, as soon as he enters the foreign field. Will not some of my hearers undertake the support of at least one missionary each' Eighty-live persons, contributing only live- cents a day, can pay the salary of a missionary and his wife. The fields are already white to the harvest: the Lord is seeking for laborers. "Is this a timeto receive money and to receive garments, and olive yards, and sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and maid-servants?" Let us rather become servants, for our Master came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Letter From China. Df.ak Mr. Bishop: -It scarcely seems if it were already much more than a year since we bade farewell to the many friends who had been so kind to us in Honolulu, and who loaded us down even to the very hour of sailing with gifts for our new chapel. Thanks largely to their generosity, the chapel is done and paid for. and its legitimate effect has been to show that the Chinese can do some things for themselves, which they once thought impossible. We have outgrown the stage in which it seems to our Christians that certain things absolutely cannot be accomplished, and have come to a time when they gently hint that if the Shepherds will be patient witli them—say to the extent of a few hundred years, which in China do not count for much, they think perhaps a beginning can be made. Already since this chapel was completed at no expense to the Board, two others have been provided, and a third is planned for this year, but all of these later ones are comparatively inexpensive. We have been delighted to hear that the long projected union of churches in Honolulu has been happily accomplished. We are delighted to know, not only that the Lord has led you to the very man who ofall the numerous inhabitants of this planet seems best able to be your pilot, but haa» also led that man to you. At times, it almost seems like a 'providence!' As for the work here in China, when we came up the long coast of China a year as ago, whatever else we failed to learn, we a new and fadeless impression of the magnitude of this expansive Empire, which stretches from the tropics to the Amoor river. The missionary work, in this vast area, is in all stages of advancement, and in great territories equal in magnitude to ordinary kingdoms, it is not as yet begun. It is a misleading comparison which is often made between the missionary work in China and the same work in Japan. In the latter country, there has been a singular preparation for the gospel, the pressure for the means of existence is by no means so sharp as in China, with its far denser population, and the class reached thus far in Japan has not been the lowest, but the middle stratum of society. All this is quite ditlerent in China, where the progress has been made one step at a time. How great that progress really is, we can only appreciate by recollecting the time but a few years ago, when the number of missionaries was but half of those now in the field. Each year witnesses a great increase, the recruits for the China Inland Mission alone, being annually about 100 persons. The work of that great society is so diffused, that it is difficult to get an idea of it as a whole, but it cannot fail to have a farreaching influence for good, almost all over China. In our little corner of the wide field, we have had on the whole a good year, though with much less progress than we ought to have seen. We have many things to encourage us, such as the occasional opening of new places, and the resurrection from the dead, of some old centers which seemed past hope. I visited one such last week, in which we once had a little company, but they scattered by a case of persecution for which nothing could be done. A former helper became alienated and was transformed into a hinderer. Eor years we never even visited the place, as they did not wish to see us. One woman, who was married into the village from this region (the place is sixty miles away in Chihli province) was the means of reviving the expiring faith of the few that were left. She had learned to read before she was married, and had a little service each Sunday at which (in defiance of the proprieties) she took the lead. She had no help, but rather opposition from her brother in-law, the former helper, but she quietly held on, and sixteen months ago Mr. Porter visited them, and found that fourteen persons- wished to be baptized. One of these was a woman, whose husband refused his consent to this proceeding, sententiously observing that if any moie •'religion" was needed in the family, he would see to it, and she might have leisure to attend to her proper business. Whenever she came to meeting, it was a "stolen" opportunity, and she was generally beaten to pay for it, often with extreme severity. Although she has been a virago hitherto, she bore this gained �72 treatment in such a way as to excite the curiosity of her husband as to therationale of the matter, and at last he frankly asked her what it meant. She embraced the opportunity to explain her position, and the result was that he begged her to pray for him, and he went to paoTing-fu to study last winter, and was there baptized. This sounds like a stuty "out of a book," which only shows that God's grace is the same in all places. I had the pleasure of baptizing the youngest child of this couple. There are now about twenty members there. and they meet regularly twice a week. and have a little fund made up of odd cash contributed by the old women as they are able, toward the building ot a little chapel, to be their vers own, and which will cap their ambition. At our Mission Meeting just past, we- have asked for a new family for this little interim station, and in fact for reinforcements for every one of the older stations, the renewal of the old station of Yu Chou, where there hits been no resident missionary for fifteen years, and the opening oftwo new stations in the regions of southern Chihli, or northern Honan, where as yet there are no missionaries, and where they have no idea that foreigners have penetrated to the Celestial Empire! If all should come for whom we have asked, there would be next year an accession of twenty-nine people, though we hardly expect so many at one time. There is to be, we suppose, another general Missionary Conference in Shanghai, in 1890, to which we are all looking forward with great interest. In the eleven years since the last conference, the changes have been very great, and not the less significant because they have all been peaceful ones. With the exception of the desultory scuffle with the French, which can hardly be termed a war, there has been no breach of peace with foreign nations since Peking was taken in 1860. From a position of insecurity, merely tolerated on sufferance, missionaries have gradually advanced to a position of security, with all the protection that they can expect. In great cities, and in new regions like Ssu Ch'uan the people still offer occasional violence, but the officials in the end always try to adjust the matter in a satisfactory way, and in general this class, if not more friendly, are far less hostile to us than we have any right to expect. The wide influence of the score or more of hospitals and dispensaries, must be everywhere felt. Here, in the center of a community strictly rural, with no great city anywhere near, Dr. Peck has treated within the last year more than 9,306 patients, and his name has gone abroad into all the earth. This form of work is far more valuable than any famine relief could be, because it is regular, uniformly distributed over wide districts, and never stops. We have reported to our people, the unexampled generosity of the people THE FRIEND. of the "Sandalwood Islands," and they hold you all in admiration and in awe. So, perhaps omitting the awe, do we, and shall cherish it as a bright memory that we were once permitted to visit for a few months, the Isles of the Sea, which have been so prominent a witness to the perennial power of Christianity to spread. Meantime, I remain with the best wishes for you and your work, most sincerely and gratefully, Arthur H. Smith. [September, 1888 beautiful Punahou.

Why do you delay to give yourself wholly to Christ? We personally know the writer of these words. He is an eminent pastor of more than thirty years in one city church, and a Christian of tender and lovely spirit. These words too are tender and persuasive. We cannot say that every word is not in a sense true. Yet there is one expression, which we would like to modify, because we think it fails to set forth the truth as to God's sorrow, —his regret—his sense of loss and grief in the self-destruction of sinners. It is this: "God will be infinitely happy though you fail to honor him." It seems very clear both from the old and the new Testaments, that theFather of all is |)iofoundly grieved at the death of even sinner; that He would save them if it were possible, and that their ruin is a cause of the greatest pain and sorrow to God. Although it is true that an infinite Blessedness rolls evermore like an ocean through his being, it seems equally true that he experiences profound sorrow for his dying creatures. We would strictly avoid every expression seeming to imply that he is indifferent. God's compassion, his love, his sorrow for sinners—his pitying fatherhood is one of the tenderest and strongest incentives to men to turn and live. "How can I give thee up, Ephraim?"

One is needed for the vacant Secretary ship, another to reinforce Dr. Hyde in the N. P. Institute, his strength having long been over-taxed by manifold duties. And then, the men for evangelistic and pastoral work, as above. The A. B. C. F. M. have agreed to send men on, as soon as they can be secured. We shall be glad to get them, if only one at a time. Meantime the subscription at these Islands toward the support of such missionaries now exceeds $7,000 per annum. Of this $:?,000 are from Rev. I-:. Bond, and $1.0011 each from G. N. Wilcox, H. P. Baldwin, and the H. M. C. Society. A newspaper correspondent lately attributed to missionaries the virtue or crime which ever it was of getting rich, (iood Father Bond is the only one we ever knew of, who could be called rich, that is. who ever acquired more property than would yield a very moderate, living. He did it by a fortunate location of waste land near his dwelling, which became converted twenty-live years ago into shares in a small plantation, one thai grew ultimately into a larj;e and profitable one. As Mi. Bond never turned aside from his missionary work, and never applied himseli to secular business, he may well say that his moderate wealth is from the Lord. He has truly employed it liberally, as held for the Lord. 75 THE FRIEND. Kawaiahao Girls' Seminary. This institution has greatly prospered during the past few years under Miss Alexander as principal, aided hy her able associate. Miss Malone. Prospered, we mean not only in numbers, in finances, and in additional facilities, but also in gooil and thorough work upon the minds and characters of Hawaiian girls. These ladies seem to have possessed an especial gift in enlisting munificent aid from the friends of the school. Between ten and twelve thousand dollarshave been secured within a year and a half. Must of this has been applied to the addition of a large wing at the east end, taking the place of the old stone wing, the former mission bindery. In this wing is the large school and assembly room, thirty-five by forty-two feet. Adjoining aie two school rooms, capable of being thrown into one with the larger room hy sliding doors, and so doubling its area. The whole makes a no mean lecture room. All are furnished with school desks of the latest pattern. Upstairs are two large dormitories intended for seventy girls, but capable of accommodating ninety. The dormitories in the other parts of the building will accommodate fifty or sixty. The pressure of applicants is so great that it will be hard to keep the school below its outside capacity of one hundred and fifty hoarders. The late corps of teachers have as nearly worn themselves out in the service as they could be justified in doing, and all now retire with the exception of Miss Hopper. They are to be succeeded by six new teachers. The new principal is Miss Helen A. Pepoon, for seven years past the principal of Fox Lake Seminary, Wisconsin. Among the others are Miss Frear, formerly of Honolulu, and Miss Grace L. Brewer, daughter of Prof, l-'isk P. Brewer, of Grinned College, lowa, and granddaughter of Key. William Richards, the first Minister of Public Instruction in this kingdom. This corps of teachers are expected to arrive about September fust. It should be said that besides the recent improvements above named, nearly twenty thousand dollars had been previously expended in building. Now, .ill tin old mission buildings have been removed, and the new seminary stands a handsome and somewhat imposing structure, fronted by a beautiful lawn. The school has just been so happy as to acquire the much needed lot adjoining. si, long occupied by the late William Guliek. Kawaiahao Seminary is for English education of Hawaiian girls. Sewing and household economy are leading branches of instruction. Board and tuition, fifty dollars per annum; piano, extra. A noble career seems to lie before the school. Christian schools of this class are, in our opinion, the most effective coadjutors of the church in steadily lifting up the Hawaiian race. This must be done through the home and through the future wives and mothers who make the home. A Little Old Saint. Mis. Arthur Smith writes of a village near Pang Chuang as follows: "Most interesting of all this group, is the little grandmother, aged til!, mother of the five men who all entered the church together. She has a face seamed and wrinkled, two bright little beady eyes close together, and the cheeriest smile in Shantung. She has never yet recovered from her delighted surprise that the 'Ming Shepheid' baptized her. She tells the story with a naive humility that loses itself each time in the great joy that crowns her life. "There I was." she says, "and all my five sons to be baptized, but I wasn't expecting anything, because I was old and stupid.' But who would have thought it! The shepherd called me, and he said, 'what do you knowabout it, venerable lady?' I said, Tarn old and stupid, and can't talk, but I know that God loves me. and gives me everything, and I thank him every day, and I lean on Jesus, and ask him to save me from my sins.' And (with a smile that fairly transfigured the plain old face), the shepherd said,'come along and be baptized with your five sons.' So I did." The family is a poor one, and has to work hard for a living- such, busy, busy women; but not too busy to think about heaven as we followed them around from spinning-wheel to loom, and from loom to needle work, trying to give a fair share to those who are glad to learn, but who must not stop work." Go through a Canadian village in the province of Cjuebec, and find out, if you can, where the son has advanced upon the intelligence of the father. The Roman church holds him in statu qua. The education is just enough to keep him from absolute ignorance. Go into the French quarter of Montreal, or into the same three-quarters of (Quebec, and you shall feel the change in the atmosphere without entering a single dwelling. The intellectual hie is stunted. The influence of the Roman church in Canada is that of repression and hostility to civilization of the highest type. It is the truth, that the Roman Catholic religion is the principal obstacle to the proper development of Lower Canada. It works not for the building up ol society, not for the enlargement of men's lives, hut for the aggrandizement of the Papacy, as expressed in the acquisition flf property, and the increased control of the people in the interests of the Church.

Christian at Work. — Never a Drop. One can readily imagine the amazement of our English cousins, to hear from Howe's own lips that he never tasted a drop of alcoholic liquor, nor used tobacco in any form; that he never yet had an ache or pain alter any race, and never found any one to push him hard when in condition. His diet is oatmeal, beef, chops, plenty of eggs, one cup of hot tea at each meal, and no drinks at all between meals. Rowe says: I have consulted the finest doctors and physicians in the United States, and they tell me the greater part of my success lies in my abstinence. I feel myself that it is so. lam just as good one day as another. I never have an off-day, whereas people who take stimulants are good to-day and nothing the next day. It sometimes takes them a fortnight to get back again into good order. Professionals have admitted as much to me. When I rode my greatest distance in the hour, I had not done any work on my bicycle for a week, on account of bad weather; and though 1 thought I should not be in condition, yet when I came to ride I found I accomplished the greatest performance ever yet done in the world.—Leisure Hours, Boston. It is right of your young men to enrich themselves with the spotla of all pure literature; but he who would make a favorite of a bad book, simply because it contains a few beautiful passages, might as well caress the hand of an assassin because of the jewelry which sparkles on his fingers.— Joseph Parker. No grace is more necessary to the Christian worker than fidelity; the humble grace that marches on in sunshine and storm, when no banners are waving, and there is no music to cheer the tired feet. �THE FRIEND. High License. In the debate on the Crosby High License Bill in the New York Assembly, one member saial that "a tax on the saloons no more lessened the amount of drinking than a tax on coffins lessened the death-rate." We do not regard High License as by any means an effective temperance measure, but nevertheless think it is far better than low license, or than unlimited liberty to saloons. Honolulu has had forty or fifty years experience of a Higjr License system, by which a limited number of saloons, say ten or twelve, pay Slonu each for license to retail. As we understand the Crosby and other high license systems at the East, as many saloons are licensed as choose to pay the established fee. Our system is therefore still more restrictive. As to its restraining effect, we think it is generally agreed that there is less liquor sold than if grog-shops were opened on every street corner throughout the city. There is some illicit traffic probably, but not approaching the amount of traffic which unrestricted license would produce. As it is, every person with an appetite for beer, wine or spirits, is able to gratify it with facility. Drunkards and the evil fruits of drunkenness abound. Great numbers of persons also are being enticed to drink, and are in process of creating a fixed appetite. It is not for the interest of the regular saloons to interfere very much with the illicit traffic, because the more temptation and the more frequent opportunity there is to drink, the more rapidly and numerously are fresh appetites created, and so new customers for the saloons are supplied. If we admit what is perhaps true, that with our large British and German elements, public sentiment in favor of entire prohibition is not sufficiently advanced to render prohibition practicable or expedient, until our foreigners are educated up to the measure, yet it does seem as if very much advance could be made in restricting the activity of the saloon traffic—in diminishing the convenience and the attractiveness of such places. Admit that many men demand as a right, under the full approval of their conscience, that they shall be permitted to supply themselves with beer, wine, or spirits, does that support any claim of right on the part of vendors to create places of seductive attraction and allurement to increase the consumption and their profits thereon ? As a measure of amendment, we would require the saloons to be divested of all elements of attraction as places of agreeable resort and recreation. We would have them made as bare as a butcher's stall or a blacksmith's shop, of everything but the so-called necessary stimulants. There should be nothing to invite the pleasure-seeker or to accommodate the lounger. If there must be places where men shall purchase liquors, let all screens be removed from the doors —all privacy be forbidden—all seats betaken away. Let the purchasers supply themselves and go away. It will be an important step forward when the liquor shop ceases to be a "saloon" —is divested of conveniences and attractions—and when those who indulge, must do so in the view of the public. If it is right for A. to buy his glass of liquor, why should he be ashamed to do it openly, any more than B. is, to liuv openly his glass of soda-water? The parents whose children are debauched by the saloon, the wives whose homes it desolates, the children whom it beggars and starves, the community which is scourged and taxed by the crimes it generates, have the right to demand at least this much of restriction and repres sion upon its pestiferous work. End! Is it any wonder that those unevangelized minions of a coward Pilate eighteen hundred years ago stripped this man Jesus of his raiment and put on him the purple of mock royalty—in his hand a reed for sceptre, and on his head a wreath of prickles? Is it so wonderous strange a thing that they should have smitten his face with switches and spat upon him, and bowed down before him with jeers and guffaws before they took off the purple (the time being spent) and replaced his own clothing for the execution, and then, drawing down their faces, marched to Calvary with exhibition step and decorum ? Are these things so wonderful in them, and is it an occasion of no remark that upon a brutal "slogger" is conferred the corporate recognition of a Christian community of four hundred thousand souls? Such things, however, did our Master bear. The record does not give us light upon ii. demeanor in face of these brutal bufferings. We can only be sure that his heavenly dignity did not fail him even then. They crucify him. He hears the jests renewed. That most stinging of them all: "He saved others, himself he cannot save."
