Thanksgiving Day.

Dr. Beckwith'* Thanksgiving Sermon
conveyed the lessons and inspirations of
the day in a most attractive and entertaining form in a jolly description of
his own boyhood's experiences of
Thanksgiving among the Berkshire
hills. It abounded in the humorous and
yet in the reverent—in the rollicking of
the boys, and in the grave earnestness
of the Puritan fathers and mothers.
We are with Brother Beckwith on
the Pie question—every time. None of
your anti-pie dietetics for us. So the
good mother's pies were bestowed where
the four boys could not find them ! It
looks as if there were some environments in which those boys could not be
relied upon. They all turned out well,

-

however.
We keep Thanksgiving in Hawaii
very heartily as good Americans. The
institution could hardly have been indigenous here.
Seed-time and harvest
do not belong to this mild clime. How
gently our nominal winter opens today upon us. A soft tempering from
the somewhat relaxing warmth of our
summer and some autumn days. Some
thickening of the pellucid skies into a
slight murkiness.

perhaps, when gales will

drive in from the westward, and the

the chill seas above us. Then we shall

OBITUARY.
Mrs. U. S. N. Emerson.
Another one has just been withdrawn
from the last few and fast closing lives
of the Missionary Parents. Mrs. Ursul i
Sophia Newell Emerson has, in her
turn, been taken to her blessed Rest, at
the advanced age of eighty-two years.
The announcement came by telephone
from Waialua, in the early hours of
Saturday, November 24th, that the dear
and venerated mother Emerson had
passed away at three o'clock. She had
sat at the supper table in her usual
health and cheerfulness. At the hour of
retiring, she was taken ill. The local
physician found her beyond anything
but a relief of present pain. Old age
had expended the vital forces, and she
soon lapsed into the last sleep.

NIJMItKR 12.

Hyde, S. B. Bishop and E. S. Timoteo,
with other friends proceeded to Waialua
in the evening, arriving at the old Kmcr
son home about midnight. The attenu-

ated and venerable form of the dear
Mother lay there, attended by her af
fectionate Hawaiian friends and former
pupils, who watched lovingly therewith,
until the last moment.
Funeral services were held on Sunday
noon, in the Hawaiian church. A con
gregation of eighty Hawaiians and
thirty whites was gathered. Key. K. S.
Timoteo, the pastor, and Rev. S. E.
Bishop offered prayers and addressed
the people in Hawaiian. Dr. Hyde
prayed and spoke tonchingly and appropriately in English. Three familiar and
favorite Hawaiian hymns were sung.
The grave was opened by the side of
tfiat of the husband, Rev. J. S. Emerson.
As the precious form was laid therein,
the strains of " Sweet Bye and Bye"
floated tenderly on the air, the voices
blending in English and Hawaiian.
Mrs. Emerson was born at Nelson,
N. H., Sept. 27, 1806; she made public
profession of religion in March, 1829;
was united in marriage Oct. 25, 1831 to
the Rev. John S. Emerson, then under
appointment as missionary of the A. B.
C. P. M., and sailed from New Bedford
Nov. 26, 1831, in the ship Averick. Mr.
and Mrs. Emerson were stationed at
Waialua, which was their life-home,
saving four years from 1812 to 1846,
spent at Lahainaluna Seminary. Mr
Emerson died of apoplexy March 28
1867, and fortwenty-one years in widowhood, the aged Mother Emerson has
continued to abound to the last in good
works and faithful labors for the people
to whose service her life was consecrated.
She was in her accustomed place on her
last Sabbath, instructing her Bible-class.
Mr. and Mrs. Emerson enjoyed but once
a furlough from their Missionary labors,
visiting the homeland in 1860.
Among the more obvious traits of
Mrs. Emerson's very lovely character,
were a patient fidelity to duty, and great
gentleness towards others. During a
life acquaintance, we do not remember
ever to have heard a severe or unkind
expression respecting others from her

�94
lips. A tone of sweet and patient kindness toward all seemed to pervade her
nature. Her house for fifty-six years so
familiar to all who passed through Waialua was always sweet with her gentle
pretence, full of kind words and kindly
attentions. With all this ruled a quiet
common sense and sound judgment,
eminently adapted to the manifold emergencies and strange contingencies of a
missionary's life.
Mrs. Emerson's was one ol the very
few .ild missionary homes which have
been kept up after the death of the husband and lather, especially where as
at Waialua, the once large native population has become reduced to a small
remnant. Of the large reinforcement
of 183J, her death leaves Mrs. Arm
strong now in San Jose, and Mrs. Hitchcock of Hilo, the sole survivors. Two
sons lie by their parents at Waialua,
and a daughter in the old mission graveyard at Kawaiahao in Honolulu. Five
sons survive, Mr. Samuel N, Emerson,
long resident at the old home; Dr. Nathaniel B. Emerson of Honolulu. President of the Board of Health; Dr. Justin
E. Emerson, of Detroit, Mich.; Mr.
Joseph S. Emerson ol the Government
Survey; and Key. Oliver P. Emerson, of
Peacedale, R. 1., now under appointment as Corresponding Secretary of the
Hawaiian Board.
It is a sight of rare sweetness to observe a bright and peaceful old age like
that of Mrs. Emerson, closing so gently
and easily. It was an old age not without its special cares and solicitudes
The busy
bravely and patiently borne.
and skilful hands wrought to the last.
The unresting feet, though weary, did
not forsake their wonted rounds, although filial care had supplied efficient
aid to relieve. Her church and Sabbath
school cares she never relinquished.
Though her strength had greatly failed,
it was her noble record to have "died in
harness," even in her great old age.
Yet with all her care and toil and solicitude, her presence did not impart care
and worry to others, but was ever a
ciieerfuland gladdening presence through
the lender and patient quietness that
ruled her spirit.
Mrs. Emerson's faith seems to have
been always full and trustful. Her soul
ever rested on the Lord. We have
laid away her aged form to its last sleep,
in the bright hope of a glorious Resurrection. We have the dear assurance
that this aged and toilworn servant of
tne Lord has passed easily and gently
to a higher life of joy, of growing gladness and glory, of endless youth and
vigor. Earthly opulence she had never
tasted. Now we cannot but count the
departed saint as truly and highly rich
in all the real wealth ofexistence. We
are sure that her life choice of missionary service was a noble and happy
choice. By faith we know that it is
now gloriously recompensed and con-

summated.

THE FRIEND.
Dr. Ellis on the Death of Capt. Cook.
Aii authentic narrative of a voyage performed by
Captain Cook and Captain Clerke. in His
Majesty's ships Resolution and Disco-eery during the years 1770, 1777, 1778, 177&lt;J and 17«0;
in search of a Northwest Passage between the
Continents of Asia and America. Including
a faithful account of their discoveries, and the
unfortunate death of Captain Cook. By W.
Ellis, Assistant Surgeon Co both vessels. London, Mdcclxxxii. *J vols.

The above work is believed to be c\
tremely rare. It appears to have been
unknown to Mr. Pomander (and therefore to all preceding historians of the
Hawaiian Islands), according to the
following passage from his History, referring to the death of Captain Cook.
"There are three independent sources
of information: King's continuation of
Cook's journal, Ledyard's life, and the
records of native reminiscences."
To
these Dr Ellis' account adds a fourth
source of testimony. The book came
for a short time into the hands of the
present Editor of the pRIENOa few years
ago, and portions were copied by him.
It was the property of Captain Doughty,
11. B. M. S. Constance. He declined
to sell it, but was afterwards prevailed
on to part with it to His Majesty Kalakaua, in whose possession we presume
it now remains.
Capt. Doughty stated
that he found it in a second hand book
stall.
Some little breeze of controversy having
lately been re-stirred* as to the circumstances of Cook's death, we present here
with the passages of Dr. Hllis' account
relating thereto. The statements concerning portions of the body restored to
the ship are of especial' interest. The
surgeon would naturally be a very competent witness thereto. We may hereafter print other extracts from this book.
This portion of the story commences
with the return of the ships to Kealakeakua, after their first visit there. The
year is 1779.
At two in the morning, (Peb. 9th), the
Resolution hailed the Discovery, and informed her that she had sprung her foremast, on which account Captain Cook
intended to make the best of his way to
the old harbor. Our weather proved
very disagreeable, with a strange unaccountable sea, attended with a very short
and heavy swell, one of which came
rolling in at the great cabin windows,
and almost carried away everything in it.
Our observed latitude was 20 degrees,
5 minutes N. We found a strong current running to the northward.
The next day was cloudy, with heavy
showers ofrain, and the whole of it spent
in endeavoring to regain our port, but

will

success, so were obliged to
stand oft'and on all night.
Thursday, (the 13th), was fine with
flying c!"uds, and at half-past six in the
morning, the Resolution anchored in the
bay; the Discovery not being far enough
to the eastward, was obliged to tack and
turn to windward, and at nine dropped
her .in, hor likewise. All hands were
immediately employed in preparing to
,he Resolution's foremast, which
gel
job v, is next day effected, when it was
conveyed on shore, and the carpenters
of both ships set to work upon it. The
natives cone off as before, and we purchased hogs, breadfruit, tarrow, and
other productions of the island, as usual;
but we could not avoid observing that
they were more bold and daring in their
attempts to thieve than before.
Saturday, (Peb. 13th), the weather
was clear and pleasant, and our carpenters weie at work upon the mast, while
our launches were employed in filling
water out of a kind of well in the rocks,
near the head of the bay. The natives
wen, on board as usual, trading for hogs,
&amp;c, and the women were also trading in
then way. It must be observed that
many of the Indians had been, both now
and before, very attentive to the armorer
while at work, and took particular notice
of the tongs and chisels which he made
use of, with his mode of using them;
and finding that they were so essentially necessary in the forming the different
iron work, they had long beheld them
with an eager eye, and were fully persuaded, if they were once possessed of
them, they also could work as well as

him, and being brought on board, he
received quite a severe thrashing. In
the afternoon another fellow, set on
likewise by Purniah, ran from the
opposite side of the deck, and in the face
01 several people, seized both tongs and
chisel, with which he made off. This
was so sudden and daring an attempt,
that for some time we were at a
loss how to act, and the man had got on
board a canoe that was waiting for him
at a distance, before a boat was sent in
pursuit of him. Several muskets were
fired, but without effect, and the canoe
had greatly the advantage of our boat,
Punaah, who was at this time on board,
said he would endeavor to recover them,
and immediately put off. After a long
chase, the canoe got in -shore, and the
man landed; the boat arrived soon after,
and Mr. Edgar, the master of the Disrovery, who had been sent in her, landed also. The natives upon this pelted
them with stones, and a skirmish ensued;
Purraah, who soon came after, seized
Mr. Edgar, and secured his arms behind
him. At this instant, the Resolution's

The body being demanded, some told
Mr. King that it should be brought off
on the morrow, others.said that it was
cut in pieces. Nothing farther could be
learned from them; the boats therefore
returned. The ships' companies, exasperated to the highest degree at the loss
of their commander, and still more enraged at this behavior of the Indians,
desired Captain Clerke's permission to
go on shore, declaring that they would
bring off the body in spite of everything,
and burn down the town; this rash request of theirs was, however, prudently
denied. During the night, a good lookout was ordered to be kept, lest the Indians should meditate an attack, and a
boat was directed to row continually
around the ships.
Monday, (Peb. 15th), Hying clouds
with showers of rain. Abo.ut ten in
the morning, three of the natives, (one
of whom was a priest) came off with a
flag of truce. He told us we should
have the Captain's body to-morrow, and
was very desirous that Captain Clerke
and Mr. King should go on shore with
him; but this was entirely out of the
question. In the afternoon, the effects of
Captain Cook were disposed of; and
about half-past seven in the evening, we
were alarmed by the firing of two musUpon
kets on board the Resolution.
euquiry, we found that the sentry had
discovered two Indians in a canoe under
the ship's bows; they begged us to desist
from all acts of violence, as they came
on terms of friendship; and having hauled their canoe into the pinnace, which
was alongside, they came on board, one
having a bundle under his arm. Mr.
King, who ran upon deck immediately
upon the discharge of the muskets, perfectly recollected one of them, who had
always shown a great attachment to
Captain Cook. When introduced into
the great cabin, they untied the bundle,
which upon examination, contained the
fleshy part of a man's thigh, the bone
being taken out; this they told us, belonged to Captain Cook, and was all
that remained of him, the rest being
burnt. As they had brought this off by
stealth, they were fearful of coming on
board till it was dark, lest they should
be observed by any of their own people.
Having staid till ten. they returned to
the shore.
About twelve, three girls from the
Morae side of the bay, swam -on board,
and soon after a canoe, in which were
two Indians, came alongside, but were
desired to return, which they did very
quietly. The girls remained on board.

Tuesday, (the 16th), pleasant weather,
with flying clouds. Several canoes passed and repassed from the shore to the
Resolution. About noon, three of the
natives came off in a canoe, and paddling
towards the Resolution, one of them got
up, and waved the hat which belonged
to Captain Cook, threw several stones,
and slapped hi«. posteriors. This being

observed from the ship, several muskets
and four great guns loaded with round
shot, were fired at them, but without
effect; they, however, did some mischief
on shore, for soon after two Indians
came off in a canoe, and told us they
had killed one of their chiefs.
The command of the Resolution, in
consequence of the death of Captain
Cook, devolved to Captain Clerke, and
Mr. Gore, first lieutenant of the Resolution, succeeded Captain Clerke; Mi.
King and Mr. Williamson were appointed first and second lieutenants, and Mi.
Harvey, masters' mate was made third,
February the 17th. In the morning,
the Discovery hauled nearer the watering place, in order to protect the boats
from the insults of the natives during
their taking in water. Upon our people's
landing, they were at first quiet, but soon
after collected themselves, and began to
fling stones. Several great guns wen.
fired from the Discovery, whicli checked
their progress a little; but they soon began again, and being sheltered by their
houses and walls, our muskets did very
little execution. In the afternoon, before
the boats went again, the Discovery fired
a number of guns, loaded with round
and grape-shot, into the midst of the
town; after which the boats were sent
on shore, and our people set fire to tht
houses, which cleared them effectually.
In this attack, six of the natives were
killed; and the sailors were so much enraged, that in spite of everything, they

pushed down large pieces of rocks, but
they fortunately did no damage except
killing one of their own people. This
was observed from the Discovery, and in
order to dislodge them, two or three
swivels were fired, which answered the
purpose very well.
One of the Indians was taken prisoner,
and carried on board the Resolution.
This poor fellow tully expected to be
killed, and even after he was released,
could at first scarcely believe otherwise;
hut finding we had no such intention,
he was at loss to express his gratitude
sufficiently; every day during theremainder of our stay, he brought us breadfruit,
tarrow, plaintains, and several hogs, and
was almost continually on board. To
wards the evening, a priest, named
Kari-kaah, who resided near the morae,
and had been our friend even to the
last, came on board with a pig, which
he presented to the Captain, who made
him several presents, after which he re
turned to the shore.
Thursday, the 18th. In the morning,
the boats were again dispatched for
water, but not an Indian was to be seen.

[December, 1888
About seven in the evening, one of
them came swimming off to the ship
upon a piece of wood, whereon was tied
a bundle of roasted breadfruit. It was
purchased of him, and he staid on board
near an hour, and then returned to the
shone. Whilst this man was with us.
a canoe with three Indians came along
side, laden with breadfruit and sugar
cane; we very gladly bought their com
modities, after which they departed.
Hogs now were a very scarce article, so
ih.it at length we were obliged to begin
upon our corned pork.
Friday morning, the boats were sent
for water as before, which was now filled
without the least molestation from tht
Indians. Many canoes were paddling
about, all of which carried flags of truce.
In tiie afternoon, a chief came on board
the Resolution, from Teniaboo, (Kalanioputi), to Captain Clerke, informing him
that lie would bring all the remaining
bones of Captain Cook, at the same
time begged that we would enter into a
league of friendship with him, and lay
all animosities aside; that Terriabo6 was
very sorry for the melancholy affair that
had happened, and if we should ever
come to this island again, he entreated
that we should not hurt or molest them.
i lie.-se terms being agreed to, he depart
id very well satisfied. This man was
dressed in one of those elegant long
cloaks, with a green wreath on his head.
I'he next morning at eleven, the chief
came on board, bringing with him two
bundles of cloth, which contained the
iiones of our unfortunate Captain; the
upper part of the skull, the scalp with
the hair and ears, the bones of the thighs,
legs and arms, and the hands on which
was the flesh were all that remained;
the ribs and vertebrae he told us were
burned. They had cut off the long hair
behind, which he said was in possession
of Komrnaah-maah, a chief nearly relat
ed to Teniaboo. The hands had several
incisions in a longitudinal direction,
both upon the back and inside, and a
quantity of salt had been rubbed in,
with a view to prevent putrefaction.
Things being thus amicably settled,
we the next day, (Sunday -Ist), purchased several fine hogs and plenty of
breadfruit of the natives, who now came
on board without the least signs of fear:
among them was Kari-caah, our friendly
priest. In the afternoon, the sad remains of Captain Cook were committed
to the deep, with all the honors due on
such an occasion.

News of the Churches.

Kaumakapili Church, whose new
building has cost $57,000, is troubled
with creditors' claims for some $7,000
still unpaid. The Trustees have sent
in an application to the Hawaiian
Hoard, asking that arrangements may
be made to mortgage the property, to
satisfy these pressing claims. Rev. E.
S. Timoteo, pastor at Waialua, has received a call to Wailuku, Maui. Rev.
S. Kapu has been ordained and installed
pastor at Hauula, Oahu.
The Maui Association met at Wailuku, Nov. 6, and had a harmonious
and profitable meeting. An effort was
made to increase the contributions of
the churches to the Hawaiian Hoard for
the ensuing half year. L. P. Kanealii
was licensed to preach.
J. P. Inaina
was ordained and installed pastor at
Huelo, and A. S. Kaholokai al Honuaula, Nov. 19. Steps were taken to
unite the churches of Kaupo and Kipahulu. J. Kaalouihi is acting pastor at
Halawa, Molokai, with prospect of ordination and installation next April. G.
W. Kolobabela has been preaching at
Pelekunu, and will soon be ordained
and installed. Rev. J. Hanaloa, pastor
at the Leper Settlement, is quite feeble,
and a younger man should be appointed
at once. There are over 900 lepers
now at the settlement, with two Catho
lie priests and an assistant. Are our
Evangelical Churches doing what they
might for these poor unfortunates ?
Rev. G. B. Kaonohimaka at Kekaha,
North Kona, is very feeble from the
weight of years. L. K. Kalawe, has
been chosen acting pastor at Puula,
Puna, and is doing vigorous work
among that sparse population. A Hawaiian by the name of Kekipi is emulating the Christian Science Healing of
some cranks around Boston, and has
started around Kohala a new sect, devoted to faith cure, and called "Ka Hoomana Hoonaauao" (Science Worshippers). The new pastors at Waimea,
Waipio, Paauhau and Laupahoehoe,
are doing good work in their respective
fields. The Young People's Christian
Associations are being modified more
and more after the fashion of the societies of Christian Endeavor.
A subscription has been started to repair the old Mission Church, and the
Agent of the A. B. C. E. M. has authorized Mr. Hofgaard to proceed with the
work with what funds he has on hand.
Rev. Isaac Goodell, who makes Koloa
his headquarters is doing evident good
on that side of the Island, organizing
Sunday Schools, supplying singing

books and Testaments, and awakening
new religious activity generally.
J.
Niau is preaching at Lihue, and will
probably receive a call. This is the
church of which Rev. J. H. Hanaike
was formerly the pastor. S. Oili, now
acting pastor at Anahola, failed of ordination, because of some informality in
the call given to him. There are but
very few Hawaiians now residing at Kapaa, and that place should be made ■
part of the field of the Anahola church.
Rev. J. W. Kaapu, pastor of the church
at Hanalei. is incapacitated by a para
lytic stroke. J. Kanoho is now preaching there. It is hoped a successful
effort will soon be made to pay oil all
the indebtedness of this church to its
H.
former pastors.

TheJapM

A Japanese steamer brought

1085

more Japanese laborers, Nov. 13th, Interesting religious services were held at
the Immigration Depot the Sunday
after their arrival. In a little more than
1 week the whole company had been
distributed among the different plantations that had made applications for
them. The Japanese Government has,
from the very first, endeavored to guard
the interests and to secure the welfare
of its people, taken from the teeming
millions of the home land to find new
homes and more remunerative labor in
these islands. Seven-tenths of those
who came first to the island! under a
three years' contract, will be permanently added to our heterogeneous population. Christian people ought to be alive
and diligently at work for the Christiani/ation of this additional heathen element, while these Japanese are likely to
be most easily and favorably impressed.
But Christian people at the islands are
few in numbers, and few of them are in
possession of great wealth. Their own
religious necessities demand their first
thought, and what money they have to
spare. They are many of them interested on work for Hawaiians, and especially pledged to that. They are ready
to assist personally and pecuniarily; but
the work to be done by a few score of
Christian people among thousands of
Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese is
overwhelmingly great. We cannot stem
the current of superstition, worldliness,
and infidelity. We cannot easily control,
much less, direct it.
Under these circumstances it has
been with devout thanksgiving for this
providential mercy, that we have welcomed the coming among us of other
Christian workers from San Erancisco,
specially competent to take up the work
for the Japanese. The corps of laborers
is too small for the five or six thousand
Japanese, only Rev. Mr. Miyama and
his wife, and Mr. Ukai, to whom is now
added one more, Mr. Takeshita, who
arrived by the last steamer. There

The work among the Japanese has
taken a Strong hold. There is opposition to it as might be expected, from
" fellows nf the baser sort.'' We cannot, however, be too thankful that the
,: representatives of the Japdipl
anew !i ivcrnment are favorable to
Christian y ork, and judiciously promote,
as far ;h their official position allows of
active participation', all schemes for the
tnoral and religious uplifting of their
people. The Japanese Temperance Society, of which Mr. Ando is President,
now numbers over 1,100 members, and
the Mutual Benefit Union, of which
Mrs. Ando is President, has more than
3,000 members enrolled. A convention
of delegates from the local societies was
held last week in Honolulu. Some forty
members were present. The sessions
were opened with prayer.
No smoking
was allowed, nor any coarse talk. The
convention closed ,with a collation at
Queen Emma Half Monday noon. On
the Sunday evening previous a subscription was started, and live hundred dollars
pledged for a hospital for sick Japanese.
The wonderful work of grace in connection with which every member of the
Japanese Consulate was last June brought
out into the privileges and activities of
Christian life, has had its counterpart
recently in a fresh outpouring of the
converting influences of the Holy Spirit.
All the employes of the Japanese store on
King street were simultaneously brought
to see the futility of opposition to the
claims and promise of Christ Jesus, and
avowed their trust in Him as their personal Saviour. The next day was observed as a season of special prayer,
and in the evening, when the handful of
Japanese Christians met for a special
service of thanksgiving, three others
came out on the Lord's side. Meetings
were held every evening, and during the
week thirteen in all made public profession of faith in Christ. Sunday morning, Nov. Ilth, a consecration service
was held in the Lyceum, which through
the kindness of Mr. J. T. Waterhouse,
has been placed at the disposal of the
Japanese for their religious meetings.
Rev. Mr. Miyama administered the rite
of baptism. Rev. S. E. Bishop and
Rev. C. M. Hyde, took part in the communion service which followed. The
participants knelt at a long bench in
front of the table. It was an impressive
sight to see so many of different nationalities, and different church connections,
uniting in thus celebrating together the
most sacred rite of our Christian faith,
which testifies not only to Christ's foregoing grace, but to the loving sway with
which He unites all believers in penitent
humility before the cross, on which His
self-sacrificing atonement was made for
the sins of men.

thoughtful and eloquent paper was read
by Rev. Judson Smith, D. 1)., one of
the Secretaries of the Board, on " Our
Missionary Opportunity in China."
Most vividly does the writer state the
present needs of this vast mission field
and pleads, with noble fervor, for men
and means to carry forward the glorious
work of the Evangelisation of this
might}' Empire. It would be stimulating to us all in Hawaii nei to read and
ponder this earnest appeal to the Christian church of our day. I wish it might
be possible to reproduce in full all that
this valuable article contains. As this
is not possible, I would most earnestly
ask all who are interested in the up
building of the Redeemer's Kingdom to
read for themselves Dr. Smith's paper,
published in the November number of
the Missionary Herald. At the risk of
occupying considerable space in the col
umns of the Fkiknd, I am tempted to
give one important extract
" China has been known to the western world for nearly three thousand
years; never has she quite sunk below
its horizon. She has been visited and
something of her vastness exposed, but
the effort at comprehension and permanent communion has been but fitful and
has often died away. It is not a little
significant to note how Providence is
compelling" the great Christian powers
of our day to face this problem; how
active and persistent the Chinese question is becoming in America, in Australia, in the South Sea, in the policies of
Great Britain and Russia. 'The Chinese be upon thee,' is the haunting dread
of many a land, and the trouble will not
cease until Christian love has had its
rights, until this people have been won
to an abiding-place in the Kingdom of
Christ. It is a question beyond the
composing of armies and ironclads,
which neither treaties nor embassies,
neither congress norparliament can solve.
It is the debt of Christian love which
we owe to the greatest empire and the
most populous nation of modern times,
a debt which nothing but the Gospel of
our Lord, freely given and exemplified
in thousands of lives, and held up to
their view till its wonted miracle is
wrought, can ever quite discharge.
Let the Chinese, sought out with
patience and won with Christian love,
become a new creation in Christ Jesus;
at once all jarring collisions, all violent antipathies, all divided interests,
will cease, and the Christian church
will be doubled in volume and power.
Wordsare powerless to convey, the imag
ination fails to comprehend, the meaning and grandeur of such a miracle; and
yet this is the very task which God
appoints to our times and by a thousand
voices is bidding us to attempt boldly
and at once. This is not the only great
enterprise to which the age is sum-

:

another august undertaking lies immediately before this generation and cannot be neglected. But, this also, is
upon us, in all its vast dimensions and
unfathomed meaning. God does not
permit us either to ignore or to evade it.
And it becomes us to face our whole
duty and measure the unspeakable privilege of our times by the unparalleled
opportunities God has set before us.
The sun has looked on nothing like it
since Saint Paul and his companions
were led forth of the Holy Ghost for the
Evangelization of the Roman Empire,
and we are the chosen of God for this
august service."
With singular and thrilling emphasis
does this come home to us, dwelling in
a land where the representatives of this
great empire are numbered by thousands. It is not a question of politics,
of national likes or dislikes, nor of ease
or difficulty, but a clear, undisguised
duty, as followers of the Lo.rd Jesus
Christ, to the immortal souls about us.
We should not allow other issues to
blind us to this matter, which is one of
supreme and imperative importance.
It is a sign full of hope and promise
that so many of our Christian people
are feeling an earnest interest in the
evangelization of the Chinese, and it is
most earnestly to be hoped that this
interest will gather force and power
until all of this nationality dwelling
among us, are brought under the beneficent influence of the Gospel.
As was stated in a recent issue of the
FriKND, new reinforcements and equipments are needed for adequately carrying forward this work. But a comparatively small section of this great field
can now be reached with the force now
here. To our land it is a question of
most vital importance whether the
Chinese are to be made acquainted with
the uplifting principles of Christianity.
It is a sneer, unworthy of notice that
they are beyond the reach of the Gospel,
and one which no true Christian can for
a moment entertain.
There are those of this nationality
living in our midst, gathered out of the
darkness of heathenism, whose daily
lives are an attestation to the power
and beauty of Christianity. No one
can thus limit the blessed power of the
Holy .Spirit. In view of the reflex influence of our work upon China, our
efforts here take on a peculiar significance. Yearly hundreds of Chinese
leave our shores for that land. The influences for good or evil which they
have received here, are to aid or retard
the spread of the Gospel in the portion
of the Chinese Empire to which they
go, which as we have seen is regarded
as a subject of such vast importance.
Let us then while the opportunity is
offered be faithful to the work, which is
given us to do.
It was my intention to mention some
of the points of interest in our work

ried forward, but I find that I have
already overrun my limits and must
leave this to another time. I would
like, however, in closing to simply call
attention to a special effort which is
now being made in Honolulu in behalf
of Sabbath School work among the
Chinese. Pour interesting schools are
now in operation, at Makiki, the Chinese Church, the Chinese Mission Room
in Hotel Street and at Palama. These
are enlisting the services of a numbei
of our earnest Christian ladies and gentlemen and young people, notably some
of the pupils at Punahou College and
Kamehameha School. It is to be hoped
that this good work will go forward and
influence a still larger number, and that
many more of our Christian friends will
join with us in this important mission
ary undertaking. Earnest efforts are
now being made to lift quite a heavy
debt which has rested for some time
upon our Chinese Y. M. C. A. Hall.
Most generously have friends come
forward to our aid, giving nobly to
remove this burden from a most important branch of Oar mission work. One
of them writes as follows: Christian
work among the Chinese, I feel to be
very important; a work that we should
all he ready to assist in. If any others
are desirous of following this good example, further donations for this same
object will be most gratefullyr eceived.
Fkank W. Damon.
The Spirit of God lies all about the
spirit of man like a mighty sea ready to
rush in at the smallest chink in the
walls that shut him out from his own.

We learn from Rev. T. L. Gulick,
that arrangements are making for the
dedication of the new church edifice at
Paia, E. Maui, on some day in January.
Rev, Oliver P. Emerson has received the appointment of the Corresponding Secretary of the Hawaiian
Board, in place of Rev. A. 0. Forbes,
deceased. We hope for his arrival some
time in January. In the wise Providence
of God, our dear brother is not to have
the satisfaction of again greeting the
aged mother, who has just left us.
Through the kindness of Mr. B. F.
Dillingham, the teachers of Punahou
Schools, of Kawaiahao Seminary, and
of Kamehameha Schools, have one of
those delightful trips to Pearl Lochs on
the stern-wheeler Eva,
Our better
half, who is a poor sailoress, returned
highly enthusiastic the other day from
such a trip. And it was a delightful
skim around those long reaches of
water, with their smiling shores, and
the beautiful long mountain ranges
stretching away so far. There is apt to
be a bit of a swell between Honolulu
and Puuloa. When the Railway gets
six miles out, we shall circumvent
Father Neptune on that route. ;
