The Chinese Problem.
It is a difficult and delicate one. We
have felt this so strongly, that we have
shrunk from discussing it. It has indeed seemed very doubtful whether in
the present attitude of the parties to
this question, any discussion on our part
could be serviceable. On the one side
are arrayed the Chinamen themselves,
deeply sensitive to whatever tends to
disparage them, or to treat them unequally. Many of them are highly intelligent, some of high character, and good
business standing, and many of long
residence in the country. They have
true and warm friends among the whites,
especially those devoted individuals who
are laboring to impart to them the
knowledge of the Lord our Saviour, and
who naturally and worthily sympathize
with them in their claims and aspirations.
On the other side are the great body
of white people of all classes, who partake strongly of the Anti-Chinese feeling
which is so intense and imperative on
both sides of the Pacific, wherever Chinese immigration has brought Chinese
into competition with white labor, especially in California and in Australia. In
the view of earnest Christian and philanthropic men, looking from a distance at
the question, the Anti-Chinese feeling
in California has been regarded as unhumane and has been summarily denounced as wholly unchristian, causeless
and inhuman.
It is undoubtedly true that bad elements have taken an active part in this

as in all other controversies, and that
much that is unchristian and inhuman
has been done and said therein. Hut to
the best of our knowledge, it is far from
being the opinion of the great body of
wise and good men in California that
there are not good and weighty reasons
for taking strong measures against the
farther immigration of Chinese laborers
into that country. Their chief reason
is the impossibility of white laborers
Competing with the frugal and patient
Chinese coolies, and the inevitable impoverishment and degradation of the
former. Another reason of great force
is the improbability trf the Chinese becoming assimilated and amalgamated
with the Americans, as do other immigrants.

The question has different aspects,
and more complicated ones, in Hawaii
nei. Here the Chinese already constitute nearly two-fifths of the male population of the Kingdom. The others,
men and women, are divided among not
only different nationalities, but diverse
races, more than one-half being native
Hawaiians. Future assimilation into
a homogeneous people seems very difficult. Some would argue that the difficulty should not be increased by so large
an element of the intractable Mongolian.
There is no doubt, also, that both the native people and the white immigrants do
severely feel the competition of Chinese
labor in this country. From untold ages
of severe and crowded competition, the
Chinaman inherits an ability to make
the most of everything, and to live on
the least, so that he thrives where better
men starve. Chinamen have already
absorbed many of the common occupations of the natives, such as fishing,
taro-planting, the poi trade, &amp;c. They
absorb a large part of the retail trade.
They carry on a great proportion of
those mechanical industries by which a
most valuable and important class of
whites and the more intelligent natives
are maintained. Let the present number of Chinese be doubled, or trebled,
which may easily happen in a few years,
and where would be room for any white
men in these islands, except employers

and directors oflabor? And what would
be left for the natives?
We do not question that the 20,000
Chinese are contributing materially to
the financial prosperity of the country.
They have brought into cultivation great
tracts of swamp land, for which they
pay heavy rental. They supply an indispensable portion of the labor on the
sugar plantations. While they remit
much money home, a considerable part
of the fruits of their toil goes into general circulation. They are a people of so
much character, ability, and productiveness, that they must needs be treated
with consideration, even did not ordinary
justice, humanity and Christian fraternity require it of us.
There seems to be a general agreement that the farther immigration of
Chinamen should cease, and that their
numbers should not be permitted to increase. Probably those already here do
not consider this a special hardship to
themselves. They and their friends do,
however, make a strenuous opposition
to measures in any way discriminating
between those now living hereand other
residents. There seems to be a very
strong determination to make some such
discriminations. The new Constitution
so discriminates in denying to all Asiatics the right of suffrage here. At the
late session of the Legislature, an effort
was made to secure the preliminary action for a change of the Constitution two
years hence, so as to permit of laws
limiting Chinese to certain occupations,
and securing special registeration of
Chinese laborers. This was defeated
by means of bribes to native members,
although a few of the best white members voted against it. The perplexities
of the subject must lessen any regret
that action was deferred.
The chief ground upon which the
advocates of such Constitutional discrimination justify it, is that by reason
of their utter strangeness of tongue and
literature, added to their great and tenaciously fixed peculiarities of custom and
habit, the Chinese constitute a separate
community in the kingdom, whom it is
impracticable,to reach and govern effi-

about to put on the market good grazing Hawaiian industry. Where are the huts
ters insist that the Chinese contract
laborers must be admitted to supply
indispensable labor to the plantations.
Hut how shall these laborers be returned
to their own country and not be absorbed
into the population ? And how shall
the great army of Chinese tramps be
controlled ? Not without special registration, it is answered.^
We cannot profess to have arrived at
any fixed conclusion upon these questions of policy. We have here only
touched upon some salient points. We
would deprecate hasty action.
We
would urge the closest regard to justice
and to humane fraternity, and meantime, we would pray for wise, just and
courageous men to make and to administer our laws, not forgetting to thank
God that we have tome such.

Notes of a Tour Around Hawaii.
Leaving Honolulu on the ll'. G. Hall
at the seasonable hour of 10 a. m., the

traveler finds himself early the next
morning oft the coast oi Hawaii, and
anchored oft' Kailua, the favorite place
of residence for Kamehameha when the
American Missionaries first landed.
Why should the Inter-Island S. S. Company give such a common-place individual name to their new steamer, when
the Hawaiians with quicker a;sthetic
instinct will insist upon calling it the
Maintain? In size and convenience it
is a model vessel for our inter-island
voyaging; but as new wants call for
new comforts, the next new vessel will
doubtless make us wonder why we could
ever have been so well satisfied with such
defective arrangements as the stern-lights
of future experiences will show our present methods and achievements to be, as
we leave them behind in the wake of the
world's progress. Hut what is to be
done with such places as Lahaina, that
in the brief period covered by the history
of these islands succeeded to Kailua in
metropolitan rank, to be speedily distanced by Honolulu as the great commercial center? Is Honolulu destined
to be left outside of the changing currents of competing traffic, when British
America and the great Colonial Britain
shall be connected by a fleet of ocean
steamers, stopping at its convenient
quays for coal and water? Kailua is
again the favorite residence of Hawaiian
royalty; but if stories told, yet not
printed, are to be credited, the new
buildings give shelter and opportunity
for such dissipation and debauchery, as
would have shocked into recoil and remonstrance even
savage ideas of
decency and dignity.
/The Kona district is not adapted to

and tillable lands. If preference should
be given to Hawaiian! as intending settlers, who of them will take up such
lands and build up homes for themselves ? The lands originally allotted
to the Hawaiian occupants have generally passed into the control of the
more industrious and enterprising Anglo-Saxon race. Would it be worth
while for any one now to try and persuade the Hawaiian young men, loafing
and lounging in all manner of disreputable places and pursuits, to avail themselves of this fresh opportunity to secure
a home? It is such homes, abodes of
peace and comfort for the middle class,
neither poor nor rich, that constitute
the sinews of a nation. Too much high
breeding makes the race-horse, thinskinned, and too nervous for the wear
and tear of life. Too great accessions
of ignorant field-hands are no more
desirable additions to the population of
a country than would be flabbiness and
obesity to the average man.
Just now, the talk is about a possible
revival ofthe coffee industry. The coffee
berry, like the grape, gets an indefinable
flavor from the soil on which it grows;
and good Kona coffee has as peculiar
and as grateful a flavor as Mocha, or
Java. Hut how to manage the blight?
We learned nothing about that from the
expert employed by the Government.
That good coffee commands twenty five
cents a pound is the stimulus that is
waking up even somnolent Hawaiians
to set out trees and start a coffee plantation. That this can be done in a small
way is one of the facts that make this a
promising undertaking. The cheap
labor necessary to pick the berries might
he easily provided if the .Secretary of the
Hoard of Education would not persist
in running the schools by the calendar
year, but arrange the vacations in the
coffee districts so that the children could
have the opportunity to earn a little
money, and learn the value of a dollar.
In Kau the cattle look fat and sleek.
In fact, the evenly-distributed rains of
this season have made fat cattle so
plenty that the question with ranchmen
is where to find a market for their stock.
From Kau they are now driven to Hilo,
where a new meat market has just been
opened specially to dispose of them.
But our island markets, for any article
of production, are so limited, that an old
settler found to his cost when he undertook to raise beans; one bushel beyond
a limited amount would flood the Honolulu market. From Kawaihae seventyfive head of cattle were shipped to Tahiti on a venture, for even low prices
could not force a sale.
But what a transformation a few years
have brought on the windward side of
Hawaii! From the water's edge up to
the edge of the forest one belt of green

that once lined these shores, the homes
of a people, that never puzzled their
brains over questions of tariff or reciprocity, but kept pounding their kapa mallets from day break till set of sun, where
now we hear only at distant intervals
the shrill whistle of the sugar mill?
There is a marvelous contrast in the aspect of the country. There is a sad
contrast in the condition of the people. &gt;
Hut even in the same country in studying the different nations of the world we
see as marked contrasts. Compare, for
instance, the Highland and Lowland
Scotch, and while the Southron has
delved and spun, the Highland crofters
are now being turned out of their huts
that wealth and leisure may have the
pleasure of hunting deer in the Highland glens. It is the old story of Capital and Labor, of Chronos devouring its
own children, Labor producing Wealth,
and Wealth devouring Labor.
drift of the times is towards more
complete organization of industry. Sugar
plantations have now been concentrated
and consolidated, so that it would seem
the minimum of expenditure per pound
of product has been reached. Processes,
too, have been simplified and unified,
till it would seem the maximum of result
for the given cost has also been reached.
Wonderful boldness and skill have been
shown in the use of the means employed, as one looks at the flumes carried
along the sides of the precipitous ravines;
over and above and around acres and
acres of cane fields. Hut what opportunity has the plantation "hand to develope his manhood, or who cares for
the souls of these contract laborers, who
are rated at so many dollars a month?/
The Hawaiian Evangelical Churches.

In the experiment that has been tried
in this country of giving the Polynesian
race, while only one generation removed
from Barbarism, a representative con
stitutional government, and a democratic church policy, we ought not to be
disappointed if there are apparent lamentable failures and defects. Hut we do
not throw away our ideals because of
some practical difficulties. Would a
despotism have done any better for Hawaii, than the old constitution did?
Would such a peaceful and accepted
overturn of affairs have been possible in
a community that had not been trained
to regard principles of right and justice
as of higher account than the caprices
and whims of any man? Would a
prelatical form of church government
have maintained even the forms of religious life under the measureless strain
of trial to which the Hawaiian Evangelical Churches have been subjected for
the last twenty years? It is manhood

�Volume 46, No. 10.]
that Gospel truths were given us to call
out and elevate, not adherents or devotees
to be enumerated and emasculated.
The Hawaiian Evangelical Churches
have been allowed to go on for years
without any efficient supervision; not,
because such holding people up to their
responsibilities was considered unnecessary; but rather from a vague idea that'
all that was needed was to be had in the
system of government and education
that had been established. The system
may be all well enough; but how about
the changed circumstances that the revolving wheels of time bring about?
When the Hawaiian Islands were six
months' distant from the United States,
and the whole commerce of the country
was supplying the limited wants of a
few whaling vessels, who could anticipate how quickly the time wouid come
when they would be only one week's
traveling away, and an army of 40,00(1
laborers in equal numbers with the
whole native population would be occupying every point of vantage? It is
the rich soil, not the treasures of the
seas, that the foreigner now wants, who
comes to the Hawaiian Islands.
Under the old government policy
there was no holding official! up to their
responsibilities. But under a proper representative constitutional government,
this can be done and is done. So what
our Hawaiian Churches need is not a
new form of church polity, but such
thorough application of Gospel truth to

itself. We cannot cut ourselves off from
our past, if we would. These Hawaiian
Churches must be taken just where they
are, and as they are; and a true, heavenly spiritual life developed from the elements of character possessed by the
race and possible by it. A Hawaiian
cannot be a Yankee, any more than he
can be a Japanese or a Chinaman. Hut
he can be a Christian, sincere, humble,
loving, faithful, if not energetic, enterprising, shrewd at a bargain. There are
hundreds of such devout, consecrated
Christians in our churches whose influence ought to be greater than it is.

Christian Unity in Missions.
The London Missionary Conference,
composed of 1,50'J delegates from missionary societies and other organizations
all over the world, was in session for
ten days, from June 9-19. It was the
greatest missionary gathering that Protestant Christendom has convened.
Everybody was struck with the Christian unity—one may almost say theological unit}'—revealed as characterizing
all Protestant miss ons and missionaries.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be entered upon our Records and The Conference was no. a mass meetcommunicated by the Secretary to Mrs. ing, but a Missionary Parliament, composed entirely of persons bearing creForbes.

the Resolutions and Reports.

This pamphlet contains the published
results of what was known as the PanAnglican Council,'' which occurred at
nearly the same time with the PanPresbyterian Council," representing, we
believe, a somewhat larger body •■&gt;(.
clergy and communicants, and also
nearly simultaneous with the grand Missionary Conference, which was certainly
the largest, most genuine, and most
spiritually alive representation of all
except the Ritualistic Section of the
Lord's Gospel Churches, that was ever
gathered in one place, and which was
never surpassed in wise and living
Gospel zeal, or in the glorious realization of true Christian Unity between
many denominations. The former bod)',
however, at Lambeth Palace was a
noble and stately gathering of I 1 I Prelates from all parts of the world, most
of them men eminent foi wisdom and
godliness.
The Reports of the various Committees on the subjects assigned them
are generally characterized by a lively
Christian spirit, albeit on some points
very conservative, as might be expected.
Their dealings with the subjects of
Temperance, of Social Purity, of the
Sanctity of Marriage, of Observance of
the Lord's Day, of Socialism, are on the
whole quite fairly abreast of sound
Christian sentiment generally expressed
In respect to "Definite
elsewhere.
Teaching of the Truth," nothing could
be much better than this, "We most
earnestly press upon the Clergy the importance of taking, as the central thought
oftheir teaching, our Lord Jesus Christ
as the sacrifice of our sins, as the healer
of our sinfulness, as the source of all
our spiritual life, and the revelation to
our consciences of the law and motive
of all spiritual virtue. To Him and to
His work all the teachings of the Old
Testament converge, and from Him all
teachings of the New Testament flow,
m spirit, in force, and in form." We
are thorough believers in "Christocentric"
doctrine and preaching.
It is especially gratifying to find in
this Council evidences of a like genuine
yearning after Christian Union to their
brethren of non-Episcopal Churches,
with that which appeared lately in a
convention of Anglo-American Bishops.

"
"

This expression of fraternal desire is and
will be Cordially recognized and welcomed by other Christians generally.
All true Christians musfpray that these
yearning advances of Anglican Churches
towards fellowship with their brethren,
may grow and be fruitful of light and
love, until all real and fancied barriers
are overcome. It does not lessen our
regard or sympathy with these good
brethren that in their hereditary conservatism they are not yet able to reach
over the barrier of the "Historic Episcopate.' to which in such manifestly conscientious fidelity, they still cling as the
indispensable condition of church recognition. These things are matters of
time and patience. We must all be content to work on for Christ, warring alike
against "the world, the flesh, and the
evil one," until every division of- the
sacred arm)- has come into the clear
light, and each owns the other's fellowship in Christ, caring naught for diversities of order or ritual. God speed the
day!

Letter from Prof. A. B. Lyons.
In answer to our request for a stateof first impressions on return to
Honolulu, Prof. Lyons has kindly furnished the following letter, addressed to
an American friend :
My Dear G Here I am at last at
home again. Very unhome-like perhaps
you would think it. for our house is as
yet almost bare of furniture, and is in a
chaotic and odoriferous condition, which
tell of the recent presence of carpenter
and painter. The prospect as 1 look
out over the Punahou grounds is unfamiliar. There is scarcely one feature
in it that I can recognize as belonging
to the Punahou of old.
Everything
about the grounds is changed so Completely changed that I Can scarcely make
myself believe that it was here that I
spent six years of my student life. I
look in vain for the distant view of the
cocoanut palms of Waikiki, with the
white surf line, and the deep indigo of the
boundless Pacific beyond. A forest of
trees—exotics, all of them—has completely shut off this view, without which
it would have seemed to me that the
place could not be Punahou. Hut in
the stillness of these calm nights there
peals out the magnificent sub-bass that
I remember so well as the accompaniment of so much of the music of that
old life, and I realize that the changes
that seemed at first so radical are after
all only superficial and trivial. The
quaint old "courts," of which I have so
often told you, are a thing of the past.
Nothing remains of the old trees that
once grew in them except one tamarind,

which continues to shade the roof of the
old corner building, in which it pleases
me now to remember, that 1 was domiciled one year out of the six I spent
here. Another tamarind tree, now of
respectable size, standing about half-way
down the old winding road, I left twentyfive years ago a mere sapling, where I
had watched it grow from the sprouting
of the seed planted by my own hand
it is older now than I was then, and
much more robustly and symmetrically
developed. I wonder if there is any but
myself who remembers the strange
heraldic device that was displayed in
connection with that little garden patch,
or would to-day appreciate its significance. Yes, changed as is the place in
so many of its external details, it is still
haunted by a thousand memories that
are as green as they were a quarter of a

ago.

When I go into the school-room, 1
find everything familiar. Not is the
room practically unchanged, but in the
seats I see identically the same faces
that were so well known to me as those
of my schoolmates. They answer now,
it is true, to other names, but I feel sure
that I know them as surely and as fully
as of old. They belong indeed to another
generation, but not one of them is fresher
in heart to-day than I am. I had had
some fears that I should find Punahou
boys and girls changed degenerated, I
was about to write, but that is too strong
a word; but the type still exists, I am
happy to say, in full vigor. None but
animated faces and clear, honest purposeful eyes meet yours when you glance
over the room.
Here certainly lam at
home, and cannot believe, indeed, that
I am in presence, in one sense, of a
generation of strangers.
When We reached Honolulu, we were
detained half a day in the offing, awaiting the decision of the Hoard of Health
with regard to the advisability of putting
the passengers in quarantine. To main'
this was an irksome delay. To me, it
seemed an extraordinary piece ofgood fortune, in that it gave me opportunity to feast
my eyes on the scenery whose beauty
had lingered all these years in memory.
Some things possibly 1 may have seen
that had formerly escaped observation
owing to lack of scientific training, but
what my eyes dwelt upon was that
which an artist would have tried to
place if possible on canvass, so that
others might share the 'enjoyment he
had found in it.
It is useless to try to describe it to a
stranger. It included a sky as full of
tender light, and of as deep a sapphire
tint as was ever seen in Italy, a distant
view through a transparent atmosphere
of the picturesque Waianae mountains,
full of calm and latent strength, the blue
Pacific, also, in repose, save where its
otherwise imperceptible swell met the
basses of the reef, breaking into snowy
lines of foam, the extinct volcanic craters

by certain Chinese to defeat the constitutional amendment.relating to Chinese,
with which to reward certain members
of the Legislature who should vote
against it; 2, That after the vote thereon
said money was paid. 3, That Reps.
A. Kauhi and G. P. Kamauoha and
others conspired to corruptly influence
members in order to defeat the proposed
amendment. 4, In pursuance thereof
G. P. Kamauoha sought to persuade A.

the purpose of exposing the conspiracy.
One portion of the committee recommended the expulsion of Kauhi, Kamauoha, Luhiau and Nawahine, as all alike
guilty, while a part thought that through
the free confessions of the two latter,
the censure of the House be their punishment. The report was lengthy and
fully discussed before coming to a vote
at a late hour, resulting in the expulsion
of Kauhi, Kamauoha and Luhiau, and
censure of the House, by the President,
to Nawahine. The further recommendation of the committee that the Attorney-General institute such proceedings,

Our Christian friends will be interested in the report from Kekela and Hapuku, of their work in the southern islands of the Marquesas group. After
thirty-three years of p.'tient continuance
among savage cannibals, Kekela is enabled to witness a brighter day of light,
order, and education. We have already
known how much the French authorities
in their efforts to establish order, have
valued the influence of our Hawaiian
missionaries among the Marquesans.
It is very gratifying to learn that the
children of these missionaries are aiding
the work of their parents.
To Wm. W. Hall, Honolulu:-Best
love to you and all your family. Your
draft came safely to hand on the &lt;&gt;th

good health, except the wife of S. Kauwealoha, who was very feeble a while
ago, but is now somewhat convalescent.
On the sth of May, John Kekela who
was our fifth child, was united in marriage to Emily, the daughter of Key. Z.
Hapuku. Their ages are twenty-three
and fourteen. My daughter and Hapuku's are the teachers in French of the
Protestant girls, 80 and upward. A.
Sarran, a Frenchman, is the teacher in
French of the boys, 90 and more.
Our youngest child, we have sent to
Tahiti, where she lives in the school of
Vienot, a l'rotestart, learning French
and English. At the examination before the French governor of Tahiti, she
received the highest prize from the governor as the best scholar. We hope to
have her become the instructor of our
Protestant girls.
The Catholics also maintain schools;
one in Fatuiva, taught by a priest; two
in Hivaoa, under four nuns and one
male teacher; two in Nuuhiwa, three
nuns and one man, being the teachers.
The French governor and the French
iniitoi (?) incline towards the hulas and
things of the dark times, and influence
the people in that direction.
The work of the Lord is not a failure.
There are here some who love the Lord
Jesus as their Savior.
Please to give the .love of myself and
wife to your family, and to all the
Christian friends in Honolulu.
I am your fellow-servant in the
Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

THE FRIEND.
I and my family are very grateful for
the prompt forwarding of our yearly
stipend.
The great work of our Lord Jesus
Christ is growing; it has leaves; it is
fruiting; it blossoms with beautiful
flowers. [ state as follows : There are
seventy pupils in the (iirl's Hoarding
School in the French language. My
daughter and the daughter of Rev. J.
Kekela, are the teachers in French.
They are both skilled (maalea) in that
tongue. Two buildings are filled with
the girls. The parents supply their food,
clothing and fish.
The Lord's work in this field continues. The members are steadfast. So
it is with Hanaiapa, Hanamenu, Caaoa,
and Cahautu.
Myself and family are all well. We
unite in much love to you and your
/amily. From your truly loving friend,

News of the Churches.
The Island Association of Hawaii
met at Waimea, September .*)-!». There
was a full attendance of pastors and
delegates. The Waimea people had
made generous provisions for their expected guests. The special attraction
at this time was the dedication of the
monument to Key. Lorenzo Lyons,
erected by the Sunday School Association in loving remembrance of one
whose labors for them in the service of
song had been so unwearied and so
blessed. The reports from the Churches
were unusually hopeful. The general
testimony .was that while superstitious
practices might occasionally come into
notice, there had been no drifting away
from the central truths of the Christian
faith. The tricks and impostures of the
kahuna, or "medicine man," were less
influential, year by year in deluding the
people.
The general observance of the last
Thursday in each month as a day of
special prayer for lepers, and for deliverance from this invader of the home,
shows that when one in thirty of the
Hawaiian people are segregated, and
another sixtieth may expect to be, the
physical condition of the people is alarming, as evidently so as the danger of
spiritual death.
A large part of the time of the Association was given to the examination
and ordination of two students of the
North Pacific Mission Institute, called
to the pastorate of the Churches in
Waimea and Paauhau. The Union
Church of Laupahoehoe and Hakalau
failed to preient a satisfactory call and
the candidate is to serve as stated supply
till the next meeting of the association.
A new pastor was installed at Waipio,

build a parsonage, for which an eligible
lot has already been secured.
It was voted to ask of the Hawaiian
Board a gratuity for the the relief of the
aged pastor at Kekaha, who has been
suffering from sickness for several
months.
The Church building at Opihikao had
come to be almost a ruin. The shingles
had dropped off; the ceiling was falling
down. Hut a deacon of the Church had
mortgaged his property and came to
Honolulu with the proceeds, to purchase
the male; ial to repair it thoroughly.
That is a Hawaiian way of doing things.
Constant attention to needful repairs is
foreign to their ideas and habits. They
will let a building go to ruin; then with
a spurt, rebuild and renew it. The
Church at Kalapana is quite dilapidated,
but the people out of their poverty have
raised seventy-five dollars, which they
hope soon to increase to one hundred
dollars. Then they will put it in order.
The Church at Waimea has been thoroughly renovated, painted and cushioned.
A comfortable parsonage has been purchased. Though the personal solicitations of Miss E. VV. Lyons, this has
been neatly and completely furnished,
making a most comfortable and attractive home.
The pastor at Kalapana has a sunrise
prayer meeting at six o'clock, with an
attendance of about thirty. There is a
Sunday School, embracing nearly the
whole congregation, numbering about
one hundred and fifty. But the people
are poor and for nearly five months he
had nothing paid on his salary. He
was supplied with fish and potatoes, and
had a cow to milk and fifty chickens to
supply him with eggs or meat. At last
the sweet potato crop failed. So he
went to his old home for a month,
returning when the breadfruit began to
ripen. He has preached so strongly 0:1
the evils of beer drinking, that sweet
potato beer is no longer made in that
district. He has been active, too, in
suppressing the gambling, by which the
Chinese storekeepers were getting into
their clutches the little money or other
possessions of the improvident Hawaiians. He holds on* to his work, living
in the parsonage with only a bedstead,
a washstand, a table, and two chairs for
the furniture, cooking his meals in a
saucepan over a fire of fagots between
two stones.

The Oahu Association meets in Kaumakapili Church, October 3. The Kauai
Association meets at Koloa, October 10.
Rev. IsaacGoodell isdoingagood work
on Kauai. His musical talents are put
to varied service for the special benefit
of Hawaiians. He has occasional religious services also for the foreign community.
The Hawaiian Board has appointed
W. S. Lokai, a Colporteur for the sale
of Bibles and other books, and he has
begun his work at Waimea, Kauai,
talking with the Hawaiians about their
spiritual welfare as well as selling books.

twenty-two years. Among the causes
that led him to backslide, and to go
farther from Christ and duty, he gave
prominence to what he called "No
Harm,'' and he uttered a solemn warning to all persons to beware of these
"No Harms." He was once a total
abstainer, but he was induced to take a
little domestic wine, being assured that
it was some which his friends themselves
had made out of their own grapes.
There was no harm in taking a glass of
that. The result was he soon became a
confirmed drinker. He was invited to
join in a game of cards. There was no
money staked; it was simply an amusement. No harm in that. The result
was, he became a skillful and constant
gambler. He was invited to join ii a
simple parlor dance to the music of a
piano. There was no harm in that.
But he soon became an attendant and
danced at balls. Invited to the theater,
he declined; but being assured the play
was a perfect moral and proper one, and
there was no harm in it, he yielded. It
was not long before he became a frequenter of the theater, and preferred it
to the prayer-meeting. Thus was he
led down, down, lower, and yet lower,

Don't Swear.

I know some good men, some of the
best in the world, who will "confound"
it, and even "dog-gone" it; and in New
England even a deacon has been known,

But, as a rule, my boy, don't do it.
Dod't swear. It is not an evidence of
smartness or worldly wisdom. Any fool
can swear, and a good many fools do it.
Ah! if you could gather up all the useless, uncalled for, ineffective oaths, that
have dropped along the pathway of my
life, I know it would remove stumbling
blocks from many inexperienced feet, and
my heart would be lighter by a ton than
it is to-day. But if you are going to be
