He intimate!, that by the mere omission to direct the pupil to the Church of Rome as God's sole channel on earth for human salvation, any religioui instruction necessarily becomes I'rotestant and soul-deluding instruction. Bishop Hermann is a very estimable priest, and we honor his candid and straight-forward presentation of his opinion, and of the fixed position of his church. It is not a bad thing to havethus distinctly brought before us those extreme demands of Rome for absolute submission to the behests of an Italian prelate and his ecclesiastics, who thus usurp the authority of our Divine Lord and King, and presume to interpose their arrogant claims between the soul and its Redeeming Shepherd and Master. Religious people often apply this term As to the schools, however, we are to public schools in which there are no not going to distress ourselves about religious exercises or religious instruction. Rev. Dr. Hyde recently lamented the exclusion of the Bible as a reading book from the Hawaiian schools, which (correctly, we think) he imputed to the late Judge Pomander, when holding the office of Inspector-General of schools, some twenty-five years ago. It was done in compliance with unquestionably the demands of the Catholic priesthood, Mr. Fomander being himself a Catholic, so far as he was not a free-thinker. This drew out Bishop Hermann, "of Olba." A rejoinder followed from"A Protestant Layman." Others took part, and there has been a general interchange of opposing views, conducted in a very courteous tone. Nothing new has been elicited. The Roman Bishop has asserted the well-known claims and position of his church as to religious instruction. The Protestant Layman has pointed out that there might be instruction and exercises in those Christian doctrines and precepts, so numerous and weighty, in which Protestants and Catholics alike agree. The Bishop utterly refuses to hear of any religious instruction for the children of his flock which does not emphatically teach that Christ's salvation can be received only through the priesthood of Rome. These are not his precise words, but they embody his The public school system of Hawaii is the child of the American Protestant Mission. As far as the schools are concerned, the Roman Catholic priesthood are mere interlopers. They never teach the common people in Catholic countries, even to read. The very idea of schooling is foreign to the minds of these Catholic Portuguese. The Romish priest dreads to have his flock know how to read, and above all to read the Bible for themselves. They will never learn anything in that book about the authority of the Pope, or the worship of Mary, or confession to the priest, or purgatory, or holj water, or indulgences, or any of the heathenistic accretions with which the Greek and Latin churches corrupted themselves during the miserable centuries of the dying Roman Empire. They will learn something entirely different in that blessed Book, even the pure doctrine of Christ and his Apostles. That Book must be diligently kept from the eyes and the understandings of the Catholic laity, lest they fall away from the authority of Rome, and so perish everlastingly. The general education of the laity, the Common School system, is something that Rome detests. Since, however, in Hawaii, as in the United States, Protestant Christianity got the lead, and the laws require all children to receive a good common school education, the priests make great and often creditable exertions to maintain schools of their own, where their youth shall be thoroughly indoctrinated into the Catholic corruptions of Christianity. We learn that the very worthy and zealous priests are now diligently forbidding the Portuguese parents to send their children to the new government school on School street, where tuition is free. They must send them to St. Louis College, and pay the fees. We hope that flourishing institution will turn out as really well educated pupils as any other school in the kingdom. If it does, we feel safe that they will become too intelligent largely to remain zealous Roman Catholics. - what would doubtless be an unavailing effort to have the public schools opened as formerly with Scripture reading and prayer. We should always send our own children in preference, to a school in which Bible religion was made prominent in the teachings of the istru:tors, anU also in their lives. We should hope, however, that the home teaching and example would render the lack of this a matter of minor importance. Why need a day school for teaching letters and mathematics and elementary science be denounced as "Godless" any more than a music school, or sewing school, or a cooking school, or a book-keeping class in the Y. M. C. A? We don't suppose that Mr. P. C. Jones opens his blackboard exercises with prayer; but no doubt the young fellows are the better for the evening's contact with a hearty, manly Christian. In a boarding school, the religious element becomes of essential importance in the Christian view, because it involves the daily home life of the pupils. But the Government public schools are only day schools. If by reason of relentless Romish resistance, we cannot have the Bible taught in them, we think the next best thing is to accept the secular mental training without it, and strive to supplement the The right to live involves the purpose to live aright. spiritual pabulum otherwise. �THE FRIEND. 86 Outings from the City. We drove out the other day to the Halawa divide, overlooking Kwa, five miles out. The road is now in superb order, barring a few spots in Palama. Those evil hills in Moanalua have been nicely graded down, as the) ought to have been thirty years ago. At least three of the five miles are newly graded and metaled. The present Department shows such a turn for road work, thai we even expect to see those absurd and horrible hills in Kalauao and Waimalu abolished before long, by throwing the ascent seawards, where even the clumsiest engineer would put it. It is a shame to leave such grades on the main thoroughfare seven and eight miles only from town. Forty yeara long have we endured this grievance—will one Thurston prove the deliverer from it ? Our companion on the drive was friend Kluegel who comes to lay out the railroad to Ewa. Some fourteen years ago he married Miss Mary Taylor, who was born here, the daughter of the first pastor of Fort Street Church, and granddaughter of the Thurstons. We trust Mr. K. may find it best to send for his He has had man)' years exfamily. perience on the Northern Pacific, Mexican Central, and other railroads. The line to Kwa is an unusually easy one, and running through rich districts, ought to be a very paying one. To glide on the rails along the beautiful Kwa Lochs, will give us charming and easy outings from Honolulu. From the broad Puuloa flats is a most noble view of our main mountain Siena with its deep furrowing canyons. We hope ere long to see that rich but arid plain vitalized by artesian fountains, and alive with green farms and populous homesteads. The district of Kwa is surcharged with copious fountains of water, but too little above the sea level to be available for the rich slopes above. Hon. Mark Robinson has for some years been lifting the water of one spring eight) feet by a turbine pump, copiously irrigating sixty or more acres of bananas on the upland. There are several thousand acres of rich soil a few miles beyond, irrigable by a lift of from twenty to sixty feet. Much of this tract can probably be supplied by Artesian wells without lifting. The watershed of Kwa is enormous, and the rainfall heavy on the upper rfflges as the rank verdure testifies. Of the lighter and more frequent showers inland, all soaks through the porous rocks, to emerge near the shores of the Lochs, or to be stored in the artesian water-bed. The storm waters rush in What tnormous floods to the lagoon. will ultimately be done wili be to construct systems of storage reservoirs by frequent dams across the ravines, whose slope is very gentle. From these the water will be led out over all the lower and richer uplands. We have no doubt that ultimately some ten thousand acres of exceptionally rich land in the Kwa district will be reclaimed by irrigation. Probably much of this will be so reclaimed in a short time, after the railroad opens the district more thoroughly than the present water communication can do. Mud shoals obstruct communtca tion with the shore along many miles of the finest lands around the lagoons. 'The United States Congress have just appropriated $260,000 at Major Powell's suggestion for preliminary surveys of the Rocky Mountain canyons with* the view of constructing storage reservoirs in order to stop the Missouri floods and to irrigate ten million acres of arid lands. Kwa presents a far more promising although a smaller field for like improvement, having a much heavier rainfall. 'The uplands slope more gently than any others in these islands except on the windward side of Kauai, where irrigation is abundant already. The railroad uniting the district closely to the city and port, will render the district, when irrigation is supplied, peculiarly adapted for a varied farming production. French Occupation of Raiatea and Huahine. We are permitted to print part of a letter from Raiatea, dated June 7, IKNK, the writer of which, we are assured is a reliable witness. The French have possessed 'Tahiti some forty years. It appears that by some recent convention with Great Britain, the consent of the latter was given the 'fahitian government to annex the adjacent islands of Raiatea and Huahine. 'This appears to have been in consideration of the surrender by France of the New Hebrides to Great Britain. Raiatea in common with the other Society islands, has been evangelized for some seventy or eighty years. The people have, however, made no such progress in civilization or intelligence as have Hawaiians. It seems very doubtful whether French governors are likely to improve them socially or financially. Polynesians prosper best when they ally to themselves philanthropic whites, and submit to their direction in politics and finance. The brave Raiateans merit our sympathy; but it is unlikely that they are capable of conducting any government which can cope with the conditions created by the growing trade of the Pacific Ocean. I think I told you of the first bombardment of the Tevaitoa, and the retreat of the natives to the mountains; so to proceed, on the seventeenth of March France formally annexed the whole of the group, and hoisted their flag in the presence of the French party only numbering about thirty spectators, and couldn't raise a cheer among the whole lot. * * [November, 1888 On the '21st, the Governor of Tahiti with the frigate Dceres went to Huahine and found that the people had revolted and put down the (,)ueen and all the governors, for allowing the French to take the islands, and had installed a new (,)ueen. The Decres commenced to shell the beach, and landed a force of marines and sailors in three lots. They were met by a handful of natives and their officer and three men killed and 21 men wounded, all in about ten minutes. The French had been firing from small arms, gatling and shell guns, and managed to slightly wound one native. After the loss of their men, they beat a retreat to their ship, taking their flag with them, and sued for peace, which was granted on the conditions that no Frenchmen should land, and the removal of the soldiers. As soon as the news reached here, the natives were all of a ferment, and Tanaau, who had removed his headquarters to Avera valley, called all his men together and declared war, and sent written notices to all the white men to clear out of the way. The French commenced to fortify the King's house, and intrenched themselves there. The two men-of-war got their broadsides to bear on ihe beach, and everybody cleared out with the exception of two Americans, and Mason and myself. The missionary, who was very sick, got into his boat and went to Avera and had a personal interview with Tanaau, and after five hours hard talking, prevailed upon him to stop for two weeks to give him time to write to the English Consul to know for certain if these islands were ceded to PranceThe French were as mad as hornets with Mr. Richards for the action he had taken in the matter, and threatened to place him under arrest; but if he hadn't stopped it, 1 believe there wouldn't have been a Frenchman left on the beach. At the end of the two weeks came a letter from the Consul, but the natives wouldn't credit it and resolved to light, but said they wouldn't fight in the settlement, but would await the French at Avera. After an interval of two weeks more, which was spent by the French in binning and destroying houses in the settlement, they proceeded to Avera with the Decres and to the 'Tevaitoa with the Scorpion, and kept up a most furious bombardment the whole of the day, throwing shell and round shot as fast as they could. Gatlings in all their tops and in all their boats. 'They returned to their anchorage at five o'clock, and very quietly buried two sailors at midnight. Of course we knew nothing of what had happened at Avera, and 1 for one was very much surprised to hear that the native loss was one man slightly wounded and one dog and one horse killed at Avera, and at Tevaitoa nil. When theFrench heard of the success of their efforts, their rage knew no bounds. Since that time they have attempted nothing, but have occupied �Volume 46, No. 11.] their time in strengthening their fort and in destroying houses and pigs belonging to the rebel party, who make an occasional demonstration with a few men just to keep the French awake. The greater part of the people, non-combatants, are living on some small islands in the lagoon, and all business stopped. We are now expecting the Admiral, and I will let you know what eventuates on his arrival. Can write no more now, as the steamer leaves for Tahiti at once. A. G. B. Commodore Perry Observes the Sabbath. The third day dawned, again to usher in fresh anomaly. The Americans would transact no business on this clay. Why ? It was the Sabbath, for rest and worship, honored by the "Admiral" from childhood in public as well as private life. "Dontaku" (Sunday,) the interpreter told the bunio. With the aid of glasses from the bluffs on shore, the) saw the Mississippi's capstan wreathed with a flag, a big book laid thereon, and smaller books handed around. One in a gown, lowered his head, and all listening did likewise. Then all sang, the band lending its instrumental aid to swell the volume of sound. The strains floated shoreward and were heard. The music was "Old Hundred." In the afternoon a visiting party of minor dignataries was denied admittance to the decks of the vessels. Nor was this a mere freak of Perry's, but according to a habit and principle. This was the American Rest-day. The Commodore was but carrying out a habit formed at his mother's knee, and never slighted at home or abroad. "This was the only notable demonstration which he made before landing." A strange summons to the Japanese was this Sabbath morning salutation. The waters of Yedo Bay have since become a baptismal flood.— Griffis' Life of Perry.

The author has left the fitting encomiums of his father's life and work to be given in a chapter of memorial discourses and testimonials. But all through the book, one feels brought in contact with a devout and consecrated, as well with a heroic and generous spirit—one who loved his Lord, and loved his fellow men. We wish the portrait of Father Alexander were less sombre; and yet one sees there the eyes and lips prone to the cordial smile and genial jest, as well as the lineaments of the brave and resolute soldier. 'The volume is enriched by a brief memorial ol Mrs. Alexander who departed this life after the book had gone to press. Separated in their graves, their memories are hapjiily embalmed in the same volume. Flora oi ihe Hawaiian Islands. A description of their Phanerogams and Vascular Cryptogams. By William Hillebrand, M. D. Annotated and published after the author's death, by W. F. Hillebrand. London: Williams St Norgate. New York: B. Westermann & Co. Heidelbeig, Carl Winter, University bookseller. 1888. Bvo pp. 673. Four maps. Dr. Hillebrand was the most eminent naturalist who has resided for a length of time in these islands. Their most secret recesses were diligently explored by him for many years. The fruit of his greatest life-work is fitly embodied in this noble volume, one of the most exhaustive monographs ever produced on such a subject, and generously dedicated to the Hawaiian People, by whom he was greatly beloved and honored. All intelligent citizens of this country mu?.t feel it to be a great boon to be now possessed of a complete and minute account of our Island Flora. There would seem to be about 1500 species described, chiefly indigenous. A Compend of Botany is appended to the work, which will make it available for new learners. The indices appear to be thoroughly executed. Constituting a most valuable part of this book are the eighteen pages of Introduction, fragmentary and unfinished as much of it was left by the lamented death of the author. The testimony of the Island flora to the unbroken isolation of the Group from the Continents on either side, is of the profoundest interest. Dr. Hillebrand was fortunate in leaving a son who could so ably and thoroughly edit his father's work. this memoir of the younger Commodore Perry, lies in the fact that he was the distinguished agent of the United States in opening to the ingress of the world our important neighbor, the Empire of Japan, by the Treaty executed March SI, IKM. It is well known with what tact and straightforwardness Commodore Perry won that great victory over Japan's isolation, without shedding a drop of blood, and without threats or discourtesy. The story is ably narrated by his biographer. Mr. Griffis is the son and grandson of merchant shipmasters, and now Pastor of Shawnut Church, Boston. He writes with enthusiasm, clearness and power. The book is a lively one. He makes it evident that Perry was one of the ablest and noblest on the long list of America's naval heroes. He ascribes to Com. Perry the chief part in the reduction of the cattle of S. Juan dc Ulloa in the Mexican war. He makes him the leading promoter of the use of steamships in the navy, and of the improved guns of his day. Above all he gives the impression of a grand personality, brave, wise, generous and true, if perhaps a little bluff and stern. Our naval friends doubtless know and value this book already. We commend it to landsmen. If one should visit your great city of New York, or other great cities, he would be struck with the noble institutions charity has built up, asylums, almshouses and the like. He would find also such institutions as your Girard College and your Pennsylvania University, instructing the people in everything that can advance and ennoble society. When all this had been seen and applauded, your visitor would pass down your streets and find the dramshops at every corner and crowding the centers of every block. He would ask: "Where do the inmates of the almshouse and the madhouse and of the hospitals come from? How could all this flood of misery creep in?" And the grog-shops make answer: "It is from us." I cannot understand how, year after year, you tolerate the presence of these feeding-grounds of want, misery, debasement and crime in your midst. W.M.Evarts. Mission Life in Hawaii; Memoirs of Rev.

Probably the editor knows and cares as little about Hawaii as he does about Borabora or Butaritari. It is a conundrum to us in Honolulu from what correspondent or informant a Christian paper could have derived such absurd statements as that the Hawaiian Government was on the eve of bankruptcy; and was laying hold of any money it could find for current expenses! The latter imputation does seem to describe the Gibsonian finances. Is it possible that the Christian at Work has fished up some old paragraph about Hawaii to do present duty? The Cjuarterly Report of the Finance Department makes a very satisfactory showing. The Treasury holds a large sum in hand. Customs receipts have increased. The excellent credit of the Government is attested by the large and steady increase of deposits in the Postal Savings Bank, on which the Government pays five per cent, interest. There have been persistent efforts of a malicious nature, to damage our credit abroad for more than a year past, and the Christian at Work has repeatedly, though we must believe inadvertently, countenanced these wretched slanders. This kingdom is, however, substantially independent of foreign credit, although there are projected public improvements which would be facilitated thereby. The Presidential Campaign. In a few days the election of a President of the United States will have taken place. Senator Evarts has called attention to the fact that it is exactly one hundred years since Gen. Washington was first elected to the Presidency, under the then new Constitution. No purer, and but one greater man has succeeded him in that office. It should be matter of thankfulness that in this Centennial campaign no charges of personal unworthiness are being hurled against either Cleveland or Harrison, and that the great issue between the two parties, is only how best to regulate the imperial and overwhelming prosperity of the nation. ac Iits ommon fashion to deprecate itements of the quadrennial Prescampaign as a great evil. Many [November, 1888 persons wish a President need be elected only once in six or eight years, so as to diminish what they think to be the corrupting effects of such excitements. Of course, it is not to be denied that such great agitations are attended by some evil. We think, however, that the benefits are vastly in excess of the harm done. One of the worst conditions in public affairs that can exist in any republic is a general indifference and neglect on the part of the people, and a torpid ignorance upon the great political issues of the times. in each kind of revival, the relative proportions of evil and good will vary according to the spirit and wisdom of the men who promote them. The present campaign seems rather a typical one, a contest upon interesting political issues rather than upon personal merits. It is noted as an interesting coincidence, that the first Act, not of a merely formal nature, passed by the F"irst Congress a century ago, was one enacting a Protective Tariff. months of dull grinding over lessons. Now this is just what the enthusiasm of a Presidential campaign do for multitudes of the people, especially the young. It educates them upon the great questions of national importance. For instance, in the present campaign, it is impossible but that millions of young men will gain an immensely enlarged knowledge and activity of mind upon the great and very important topics of Protection and Free Trade, with all their related topics of Foreign commerce, Domestic manufactures, Tariffs and Taxation. It is urged per contra, that there is a greatly intensified activity of evil in the lower strata of political action, drawing in many who would otherwise have escaped the taint. It seems to us that that sort of foul work is at its worst in the off years. When the great excitement is on, the people are less disposed to stand the foul tricks of the ward caucuses and the bosses. In Presidential yean, corrupt nominations have far less chance than at other times, because the public are more keenly awake. We regard a great political revival, not very differently from what we do a great religious revival, a time of grand enthusiasm and agitation on noble questions—a time not wholly unfruitful of special evils, but vastly more productive of great good. We need not add that with him. It seems to us that the American Board have failed to take in the fact that there are 20,000 Chinese in the Hawaiian Islands in circumstances peculiarly favoring their evangelization, that they live here in the presence of and in contact with a very enlightened and comparatively active Christian community. The same labor expended among them seems far more likely to become fruitful than in China, where few white Christians are to be seen, and the merits of Christian domestic life can seldom be observed. Whatever course is taken as to farther Chinese immigration, it is of the deepest moment to the future of these Islands that the Chinese now here, and to remain here as a large proportion will, should become imbued with Christian sentiments, that they may become good citizens. To the Christian believer, the affectionate regard to them as possible fellow heirs to the heavenly glory, is sufficient motive, Mission Workers Among the Chinese.

The next quarter will show a still greater improvement in Hawaii's financial condition to which the attention of the N. Y. Tribune and Christian at Work, and a few other similar prophets of evil are respectfully invited that they may witness the "bankrupt" condition of this government which they assert "nothing can prevent in the near future." In added proof of the stable condition of the finances of the country, and the confidence reposed in the present government by our own people, it may further disconcert the above referred to prognosticators when we state that the steadily growing receipts from the Postal Savings Bank has necessitated the withdrawal, by the Minister of Finance, of the balance of bonds under the last loan act from the market, in order to have the new legal guarantee to protect Savings Bank depositors, a precaution the late administration cared little for. Figures are not at hand at this writing to show our financial state when the late mal-administration ceased, so as to present the comparison in tabular form, but if there was a more striking contrast required between the late Gibson and present Reform Ministry, than in the Lowrey, chairman of the Entertainment Committee, who afterexpressing pleasure for the occasion that brought them together, and extending brief words of welcome, called upon Messers T. K. Walker and T. May, who responded with a well rendered duet. Mrs. Walker playing the accompaniment. Mr. P. C. Jones followed with brief remarks, saying the Association owed Mr. Cooke a debt of gratitude for the service he had rendered at his own expense. That he had undoubtedly been helped and inspired by what he had seen and heard, and that the members of the Association would be inspired to better service for young men as a result of listening to Mr. Cooke's report which he had conto give in an informal conversational manner. Mr. Cooke, who was received with much eclat, said he thought perhaps the debt was on his side for the honor conferred upon him in appointing him a delegate. He had also received a similar appointnicntfromtb Chinese Branch in this city ai.J fcom the Japanese Branch, in • place of being the delegate of one association, as he had anticipated, he was entrusted with credentials from three, of three different nationalities. It was just four months that night, since he left Honolulu and his brother who had accompanied him followed four days later. They were pained on arriving in San Francisco to hear of the death of Rev. A. O. Forbes, whose funeral they attended on the following Sabbath in Colorado. The following Saturday, July 21st, they left New York in the steamship City of Berlin. There were on board about forty persons on their way to attend the conference, including delegates from Brooklyn and other important places; also Mr. K. C. Morse, General Secretary of the International Committee. Many entertainments were got up during the voyage by the various secre- taires, who were naturally very efficient in that respect. One lady who was not religiously inclined said she had no idea the members were such jolly good fellows. That was an instance of the way 89 in which their influence was exerted among people not connected with them. Several prayer meetings were also held on board and many attended them, because they had met the members at the entertainments. On arrival of the boat at Liverpool they heard of a reception provided for their comfort, also the delegates who had already arrived in London, by Mr. Geo. Williams, founder of the Y. M. C. A. at Exeter Hall. They themselves did not have the pleasure of attending, because the)' had left the boat at Cjueenstown; also because it had been planned by the English brethren to make an excursion to the fjords, in the north of Norway. The part of the company who went there from Ireland met the others at Edinburgh, where a reception was provided for the delegates. From thence they embarked in a small steamer. There were about eighty delegates, and the trip was made in twelve days. It was described as most charming and the scenery simply wonderful. On arriving at Thronsjem they found waiting for them a special car ordered by King Oscar to carry them to Stockholm. They arrived Sunday morning, but as they could not conscienciously travel on that day the train was held over till Monday. The speaker and his brother, however, went by another route, leaving London, about five days after the other company by way of York and Newcastle. They left the latter place on Friday in a small steamer called theProspero The party numbered sixteen. They arrived at Christisniaon the Monday morning, following, spent a day and a half there and then left by train for Stockholm, arriving Wednesday morning. The Convention was formally opened at 10 a.m. on August 15th. It met at the Blasie-holm's Church in Stockholm —a building resembling Mr. Spurgeon's tabernacle in London. It held about two thousand. The number of those provided with credentials was 303, but many others attended, so that there were in all from 37ft to 100; the total number of delegates and friends was between 700 and HOO. The exercises were opened by an introductory sermon from the Key. Prof. Kudinof Upsala University. Itwasveryeloquentalthough not very well understood by the English speaking portion of the audience, however they afterwards received copies of a translation, The address of welcome was given by the late Great Governor of Stockholm.

Very truly yours, >>f il.c Hawaiian the Editor, appointad liy the lieve our OOOiaata, '/as. Bicknell, - - Editor. The New Secretary. The Hawaiian Hoard, about six weeks since, forwarded through the A. H. C. F. M. (who have a voice in the appointment) a call to the Key. Oliver P. Emerson of I'eacedale, K. 1., to take the office of Corresponding Secretary. Owing to the absence of the Boston officers at the annual meeting of the Hoard at Cleveland, some delay has occurred in their action upon the matter. Sufficient intelligence, however, has arrived to make it highly probable that Mr. Emerson will receive and will accept the appointment. To do so, he will have to resign a desirable pastorate, where lie has been for mail}' years, and is much beloved. Among not the least of hts qualifications for the work, is a not perfect, but quite idiomatic knowledge of Hawaiian, which will enable him to engage at once in active visitation among the churches. The following part of a letter to Dr. Hyde will aid in favorably introducing our expected helper: " 1 think I appreciate something of the importance of the work, and perhaps a portion of its difficulties, knowing what I do of the islands. And yet, for one who has a feeling of strong affection for the Hawaiian people, for one who would gladly serve them, I am sure its opportunity could hardly be matched. I will say that the work has for me a certain attractiveness, and that if I were to enter it, 1 should want to pay the price of its success. At this distance, and in my present inexperience, I could not exactly block out ni)- plan. In doing this I should wish to be assisted by your kind counsels and by the necessities of the case. Such visitation as you suggest I apprehend to be an all important part of the work. The Secretary would have to know his field, bring his personality into it, and be felt in it from end to end. ••As to in}' theological views, I am aware of none tiiat should present me from being in hearty sympathy with all evangelical Christians, and with the great missionary work of to-day. I have not adopted the so-called Andover hypothesis. I have a great fear that life in the body gives final fixedness to spiritual tendencies, and decides destiny {i Cor. 5:10). Life makes its solemn appeal to me as a final opportunity (John 9:4). My sympathy is with a theology that is Christo-centric —that takes him as the key of the Hible, and as the great fact of life. Through the Biblical and historical Christ, we get at the essential Christ, and the Holy Spirit is his forerunner even to the heathen. T believe that we 91 THE FRIEND. Oliver P. Emerson, Micronesia.

And the credit accounts would foot $.'1,1H1.05. Deduct from the credit accounts the amount of cash on hand $770.20 and the balance $2,710.85 corresponds to the amount of the accounts in debt. If, therefore, collections and donations to the amount of $2710.86 were added to our treasury the debit accounts would be all wiped out and there would be just enough to settle all the credit accounts, should it be necessary; but nothing of a surplus would remain in the General Fund of the Hoard. What we need is the amount above stated to make good all the credit balances, and besides an amount gradually accumulating in the General and Foreign Mission Funds for the uses of the Association and to defray the expenses of the Foreign Missions. The sum of $5,000 is needed to carry on efficiently the work of the Board throughout the Islands. It is hoped that the Association will soon be able to secure the services of a new Secretary to supply the place so ably filled by the late Re*. A. O. Forbes, and that his efi'orts among the churches throughout the Islands may stimulate the members and friends to give according to their means to the cause, which includes a great variety of Christian work done on the Islands. Wm. W. Hall, Treasurer Hawaiian Hoard, The American Board at its annual meeting reports the following gains over last year's reports: 70 additional centers of evangelical effort, 1 ordained missionary, 90 young women connected with Woman's Board, !l native pastors, 55 preachers, 11 churches, 4,'.iSrt church members, 1,000 young men and women in high schools and colleges (now 7,000 in all), 34,000 in common schools lvi all), $121,274 native contributions (in all). In the above figures, no reference is had to the Hawaiian Islands. The total expenditures of the year were $666,399.96. Means for an increase of expenditure of 150,000 are urgently called for.

(Contenued from page By.) Among the delegates fourteen different languages were spoken. The speeches lost their force somewhat in translation. The discussion was so rapid it made a kind of modern Babel. Translations were made into English, French, German and Swedish. The next thing after opening was the report of the World's Central Committee, whose headquarters are at Geneva. It was a very favorable report. It stated that there were throughout the world 3,801 Associations, 1,468 in the United States, 72 in Canada, 021 in Great Britain, G73 in Germany, 505 in Holland, .'lO3 in Switzerland, 93 m France, 00 in Norway and Sweden, 17 in Denmark, 47 in Asia, 12 in Africa, 25 in Oceanica, and the rest are scattered throughout Kussia, Italy, Spain and other parts of the world. The work had made the greatest progress in the United States. The Associations there numbered 950 in 188 I, and in INSM the number, including Canada, is 1240; the number in Canada being 72. The property of the Associations in the United States had increased in the four years from $4,0(JO,000 to $7,000,000. The work in Germany, although increased since ISS4, and numbering 673 Associations, only supports nine secretaries, who give their full time to the work. The Associations on the Continent are very different from those of England and the United States. They are very like Societies of Christian Endeavor, generally composed of the members of one church, whose pastor heads the Association. After listening to the Report of the Central Committee the meeting adjourned and the members received tickets for lunch provided by the ladies of Stockholm and for dinner each day at one of the best hotels in Stockholm. The association's work is so limited in Stockholm that great credit must he given to those who tendered this hospitality, because it fell upon so many not connected with them. King Oscar 11. contributed liberally towards the expenses of the Conference. During the meeting a telegram was received from him at Berlin regretting his inability to attend and invoking the blessing of the Holy Spirit upon the Conference. At the Association's rooms in Stockholm each delegate was presented with a badge bearing his national color—i. e. the principal nationalities, the Hawaiian delegatesreceived thecolors of the United States. A room was also set apart for each nationality, equipped with newspapers, writing materials, etc. The meetings were called to order on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 9 o'clock. They were opened by one of the Ministers of Stockholm, followed by singing, and about twelve or fifteen prayers occupying as many minutes. The delegates of each nation sat together as the roll was called, they would rise in their places. The week was spent mostly in listening to papers ably prepared upon different phases of the work for young men, followed by discussion. Those who are trying to can"}' on the work on the Continent encounter a gootl deal of difficulty, as the state churches feel that they aie in opposition. There is no union between the two, but the work has increased and is increasing. and wherever conferences have met, it has done a good deal towards dispeling this feeling. The work has increased'in Paris four-fold since 1884. The Stockholm Delegates had great hopes of the good accomplished through holding the conference in that city. Agencies for the physical development of young men were considered for the first time and awakened great interest. The importance of this department was well brought out by a paper prepared by Mr. Luther Gulick, Gymnasium Instructor at the '-Training School for Christian Workers" in Springfield, Mass., and the discussion it provoked. Mr. Wishard's work among the Colleges in United States excited intense interest. He was authorized to visit the non-christian lands to organize Y. M. C. A. work in their colleges and universities. He purposed going through China and India and around the world. On Friday afternoon the members were invited by the citizens of Stockholm to an excursion. Three good sized steamers were provided and some 700 guests attended. He (Mr. Cooke) and party took passage in the Victoria, and the cruise around the beautiful waters of Stockholm was much enjoyed, especially as they were accompanied by the glee club of the Upsala University. On the return of the steamer they called at Skuri and were there entertained at tea by Capt. and Mrs. Ahlberg. At this place Mr. Geo. Williams gave an earnest talk, and was met personally by the speaker who had left at this gentleman's office in London a scroll, of which he was the bearer, from the Chinese Y. M. C. A. in this city, acknowledging his kind assistance (a donation of $100) toward the erection of- their building. On their return to Stockholm the excursion party were greeted with fireworks and illuminations. On Sunday the conference had no regular meeting in the morning, but in the afternoon there was a Bible class, attended by about three hundred. Mr. Kennedy, the London Secretary, delivered an address. During their stay the delegates received an invitation from the Crown Prince of Norway & Sweden to an entertainment at the Queen's Palace. It was not the speaker's privilege to attend, as he had to leave before the close of the conference. The conference was a decided success. One point of note was the temperance cause. German}' begged to be excused bringing that in, as it would break up the work in Germany; where beer was a thing so common. One gentleman spoke of this very earnestly to this end, although a member of a temperance society himself—the only one in Germany of which he knew. The feeling among the English and Americans was that this was an important branch of their work, and that all the associations should take their stand upon it. He was more than ever impressed with the magnitude of the Association's Mission. The next Conference is to be held in Amsterdam, four years hence. Mr. A. F. Cooke followed with a brief report of the California State Convention, which they attended in Fresno, and some personal impressions gathered during the trip. The remainder of the evening was spent in social intercourse, enlivened with plenty of ice cream and cake. Sunday Evening Topics. The Gospel Praise Service, which is held in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, every Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock, will have the following topics for the month: Nov. 4—Credible Witnesses. 2 Pet. 1:10-18, 1 John, 1:1-3. Nov. 12—Joyous Dedication. Ezra 0:15-22, Acts 8:36-39. Nov. If—Fighting and Winning the Prize- 1 Tim. 6:12-10, 2 Tim. 4:7, 8. Nov. 25—Add to your Spiritual Possessions. 2 Pet. 1:5-8. — The fundamental principle in all good teaching is that the specific precedes the generic. General principles and truths are deduced from specific illustrations. But in our common methods of education we reverse this process, stuff our children's memories with laws that they cannot understand, and then expect them to proceed to the illustration and events from which those laws have been deduced. We ought to reverse the pn cess. We are beginning to put lai guige first and grammar afterward, as the vernacular is always taught in the home. This is the natural method; so we ought to teach, in arithmetic, problems first, rules afterward; in science experiments first, generalizations afterward; in geography, physical facts first, political divisions afterward; in history, biography first, history afterward. To speak as we think, to do as we pretend and profess, and to make good what we promise. As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.— Thorcau. �THE FRIEND. How Was Sodom Destroyed ? It is useless to attempt to reconcile the Old Testament narrative with that phase of modern thought which denies Clod the power to use the forces of nature which are in so many ways obedient to man's will, or which denies that in fact he ever exercises that power. The two philosophies of history are simply irreconcilable. It does not help the matter to say that the "Id Testament miracles can be explained by reference to known natural laws. It may he lli.u an earthquake demolished the walls of Jericho, as a much more terrible earthquake demolished the greater part of Lisbon. It is certain thai a great wind drove back the Red Sea and made it passable for Israel, and that a volcanic eruption destroyed the cities of the plain. But in these and kindred cases the miracle consists in the tact that the event occurred at a specific time, .it a specific command, and accomplished the predicted and purposed en#, demonstrating the presence 'J iU-\ power of the I.aw-giver. —LvMAM Auboi i. Dr. Abbott is profound and discrimi- nating as an expositor of the Bible, and has a searching insight into its spiritual meanings. He is, perhaps, hardly as great in his physical explanations. In the above extract, he seems justified as to what he says about the Red Sea, by Exodus, 14:21. But it does not seem to us '-certain that a volcanic eruption destroyed the cities of the plain," adhering as we do to a belief in the substantial accuracy of the description of the attendant phenomena in Genesis, 19:24 28. There are several objections to this common hypothesis which Dr. Abbott has adopted. One is that the account makes the destruction instantaneously complete. Absolutely no time was allowed for the escape of any individual, after the first appearance of the destructive element, which is described as "fire and brimstone rained from the Lord out of heaven." The most sudden explosive eruption is attended by violent premonitory throes, always giving time for some persons to escape. The column of ashes, stones and other ejecta projected into the air takes time in falling, and those living in the outskirts of the devastated district have more or less time to escape before the falling matter overwhelms them. The destruction of the cities of the plain was sudden as if by lightning. Again the destruction is not described as an explosion upwards as in a volcano, but as raining down. It is true that after a volcanic explosion, there is a tremendous down pour, but it is not a fiery one. The ashes and cinders fall cooled by their immense expansion in the upper air. So far from fire being seen, the darkness under the ash-fall is intense. In Batavia in 1883, one hundred miles from Krakatao, it was impenetrably dark for many hours, and the ashes fell so cold as to chill the air. Near Krakatao the falling matter was mingled with water. It seems a fatal objection to the volcanic hypothesis, that there is no existing trace of such an eruption in that region. An explosive fiery shower that would utterly destroy five cities at once must have built up quite a cinder-cone like Punch-Bowl or Diamond Head, and it ought to be standing there now, and much fresher than our little craters, because probably more recent. Then to what natural agent was the event due ? We aie inclined to think that the Lord may have employed some natural agent in his miraculous work. Lightning is sufficiently sudden. It can hardly be imagined as powerful enough. One of the largest flashes would keep an Edison lamp going but a very short time. It might indeed serve to kindle the combustible bitumen below the cities; but it does not answer to the description of a " rain of fire" from heaven —a copious pouring down of fire over a considerable space. And then where is the •• brimstone" in lightning ? What seems to be indicated is some fiery element coming instantaneously and without warning from the skies, and in a copious shower. Now there is such an agent well known, which is quite capable of producing such a destruction as that described in Genesis, with all its attendant phenomena. It is the fiery shower of a large and finely-shattered meteorite. Large flaming meteorites have many times been seen traversing the earth's atmosphere, the diameter of whose flame was not less than one or two thousand feet. Such meteors have often been seen to burst like a bomb into thousands of flaming fragments. Now suppose such a meteorite, say one hundred feet in diameter, to have plunged into the earth's atmosphere near Sodom at a velocity of forty miles in a second, and by the friction of the air to have burst into a great conflagration, and then when immediately over the city, to have exploded into innumerable blazing pieces; we then have substantially the phenomenon described. Or we may suppose it to have been a small compact cloud of minute meteorites, in other words, a comet, which struck the earth at that point. An objection to this comet hypothesis would be that no comet has ever been seen of such small dimensions. Comets are getting to be somewhat understood, and such a comet as those we know of, colliding with our atmosphere, would probably produce a very dense shower of small shooting stars all over the globe at once. Still, there may be very small comets or congeries of meteorites only a few miles in diameter, related to the known comets as asteroids are to planets. Such a small dense comet, or such a large meteor exploding in striking a great city, might completely destroy it without a second's warning. In the case of the cities of the plain, the ground in the vicinity was honeycombed with slimepits (Gen. 14:10). In other words, it was a petroleum and asphalt country. The "rain of fire" whatever it was, ignited this combustible material, which consumed whatever was left, and probably produced a depression in the ground, which may have been filled by the waters ofthe Dead Sea. The prevailing belief of Bible scholars now is that the site of the cities was at the north end of the Dead Sea. In that case the mud deposits of the Jordan would long since have covered the last traces of the event. Sulphur is a constituent element in many meteorites. The stench of sulphuretted hydrogen is very commonly noticed in newly fallen meteorites which have penetrated the ground. The combustion of the petroleum seems to have been what Abraham witnessed (v. 28). "He beheld, and 10, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace." It will be said thai the destruction of cities by volcanic showers has repeatedly occurred, as Herculaneum and Pompeii; whereas, any considerable disaster from the fall of meteorites is unknown. Still, we think that the possibility of such disaster is evident, and that a volcanic eruption wholly fails to meet the conditions of the narrative. One thinks, as Lot was lingering and the angels laid hold of his hand and hurried him off, how they plainly saw that meteor or comet, then perhaps half as far away as the moon, but shooting with unerring aim to its doomed mark. Nay, even then God may have sent an angel's hand to hinder it a little, or to give Lot a little more time to escape. Or the same hand may have directed very slightly its course, so as to spare the little outlying Zoar, in compliance with Lot's anxious plea. In considering God's miracles as using the forces of nature, why are we not to think of the employment of physically mighty and highly-endowed angels as operating upon and guiding great physical agents at God's direction ? This idea seems to be quite in accord with the story of Lot's escape from Sodom. Rev. L. H. Gulick writes to Dr. Hyde: "The thought frequently comes to me that I could find no more desirable home for coming years than on my native islands. My work here is all that one could ask for, and is constantly growing upon me, but my heart often travels Hawaii-ward. Stranger things have happened than that I should some day appear among you! "Work in China has nothing very startling to report. Railroads and telegraphs are growing in length, and are silently doing a great work. In a week or two I shall set out on travels north and south," which will give me increased knowledge of affairs. I am soon to be relieved of pastoral responsibilities for our Union Church which I have carried now for nearly two * years." Lazarus came out with his grave clothes on, because he was to use them again. Christ left his behind him in the sepulchre, because he rose to die no more. Matthew Henry. — �THE FRIEND. T ITIHEO. H.
