Know the truth, and be able to tell it forcibly, charitably. �THE FRIEND. 2 The Discovery of the Sandwich Islands. We give here that portion of the account of Assistant Surgeon Hllis, describing Cook's first visit to this group. As stated in our December issue, the existence of Dr. Ellis' account has hitherto been unknown to our historians. January 18, 1778, being in lat. 9V 13' N., and lon. '200 I'C X., we saw land to the eastward, and soon after descried more to the north-west, for which we shaped our course; but night coming on, we tacked and stood off till morning (Jan. l'Jth), when we proceeded to trace the coast in a south-westerly and westerly' direction. The land at lirst presented rather a barren appearance, but upon s closer view it improved upon us, particularly on the western side, which consisted of a large tract of fine level plains, and beyond them a double range of hills. which were covered with trees. Upon the shore we saw a few clusters of coconut {sic) trees, but by no means so abundant as at the Society Isles. As we drew nearer in-shore. some of the inhabitants put off in their canoes, and very readily came alongside. Their color was more of the copper cast than that of the natives of Taheitee, and they wore their hair long, and of different hues, like the people of the Friendly Isles. Their dress was nothing more than a narrow slip of cloth round their middle, and they were marked or tattowed in different parts of their body. Their cloth was stamped or printed in various patterns, not much unlike our printed linens; their language nearly resembled that of Taheitee. They were easily persuaded to come on hoard, and like all other Indians soon began to thieve, but nothing of any consequence was lost.' We saw no weapons among them, nor did they behave abruptly or disagreeably, but in their disposition seemed friendly and good-natured. We purchased a few pigs and sweet potatoes of them, for which we gave them a hatchet or two, and a few small nails, with which they appeared very well satisfied. In the evening we stood off, intending to examine the place more closely the next day. In the morning (Jan. 2<lth), at six. Captain Cook made the signal for the Discovery's six-oared cutter, which accompanied with the Resolution's pinnace and large cutter, was sent to look for a safe place for the ships to anchor, and to try what soundings-were to be found nearer in-shore. During their absence we stood off and on, being fearful of venturing too near. The natives came off as yesterday, and we bought a few hogs, tarrow, sweet potatoes, and sugar cane, of all which they appeared to Ttave plenty, and excellent of their kind. At three in the afternoon the boats returned, having found a tolerable birth, and at four both vessels came to. Soon after Captain Cook went on shore in the pinnace, at- tended by the Discovery's cutter, both the inhabitants came on board as before well-armed. He was received on shore Farly the next morning (Jan. 24), the very cordially by the natives, who treat- Discovery weighed and made sail; but ed him during his stay with great re- the wind proved so light, that she fell to spect and attention, and brought many leeward, and was obliged soon after to small hogs, potatoes, tarrow or eddoes, come to.

The boats were sent on shore to trade as usual, but they found the landing far more difficult than at the last place, on account of a very heavy surf, which, when the wind varies in the least to the westward, rolls in at so terrible a rate as totally to cut off all communication with the shore.

The next day (31st), we again tried to land with our boats, but were obliged to desist; and in the evening had fresh gales with rain.

The Pacific contains a series of three letters addressed to the members ot the A. H. C. F. M. Mission in Japan, and the pastors and leaders of the Kumiar (Congregational) Churches. They are signed by Sidney L. Gulick and Orramel H. Gulick. They are in the nature of-a very serious questioning of the propriety of certain arrangements which have been for sometime in progress for uniting the Presbyterian and Congregational Churches in Japan into one ecclesiastical organization. Indeed these letters appear to amount to an earnest protest against the proposed union, as really a merging of the Congregational Churches into Presbyterian. We are not prepared to express an opinion upon the merits of the question, without more c,ireful study than we have been able to give to it. The author of the letters is evidently Key. Sidney L. Gulick, son of 'Rev. Dr. L. Halsey Gulick, and born in Ppnape. He is valedictorian of Dart mouth, and graduate of Xew .York The above Theological Seminary. has been hailed named union movement as a great Step towards Christian Union. although serious misgivings have been expressed about it. The Messrs. Gulick have apparently taken a very serious step in opposing it. As we look back at the historic career of Christ, we see that Life was in Him. not as it was in other men. not as wateris in a pitcher, but as water in a spring; not as light is in a candle, but as light is in the sun—flowing forth, exuberant, under!ved, original. Life ensphered Him like an atmosphere, and went forth from Him as a "virtue." He poured forth life, not by freaks and spasms of.goodness, but with uniformity, persistence, efficacy, always and everywhere, as gravity works in nature, as light billows forth from the sun. There is something better than a revival, and that is a Christian life that doesn't need to be revived.— Moody. �4 THE FRIEND. The Real Extent of the Task of Foreign Xovember Missions. When enlightened and trained Churchof a great Christian nation like England or America undertake, in love ot Christ and of humanity, to impart then Christianity to an uncivilized pagan nation like Madagascar, or a civilized one like Japan, they are not unlikely to un derrate the magnitude and extent of their task. Hence they may suppose the Conquest of such nations foj Christ to be nearly completed, when in fact it has only been successfully begun good foundations prosperously laid. In the inception of Foreign Missions a centun ago. it was probably not so important ,to see how protracted and extensive were the labors required as it is now. A clear perception of their magnitude might have daunted the courage of the Churches. As the work goes on. and experience accumulates, an education is being gained in the wink of Foreign Missions by means of the varying experiences of failure and success. Especially does it become clear, that to secure permanent results of evangelization must require patient and protracted labors continued far beyond the period of gospel proclamation and the establishment of Christian churches. This process may be a rapid and successful one. A "nation may be born in a day." as was the case in the evangelization of Hawaii, and as very gloriously promises to be the case in Japan. It is. however, needful to observe that a new-born child requires tending and nourishing. Its birth does not ensure its subsequent survival, much less its healthy and vigorous survival. To secure a wide acceptance of the salvation of the Lord Jesus among the people of a heathen country, and to save man}- souls of the present generation is indeed a blessed and grand result. But if the churches so planted fail to become self-propagating, through weakness, ignorance, and the overwhelming corruption of internal heathenism and foreign vice; if in following generations the immature Christianity decays and relapses intocorruption and semi-pagan ism, the result is certainly far from being the success that was supposed to exist. It has the characteristics of an ill-conducted work. It reflects discredit on those who did not hold out to care for and bring to maturity what they so well began. An article in the N. Y. Evangelist of es 8, by Secretary Ellinwood of tianity. This tendency is sufficiently the Presbyterian Board, begins by ask- manifest in the Hawaiian churches, noting.

Ki-.v. A. O. Forums. Dear Sir: We hail a fine passage of nineteen and a half days from Honolulu to Kusaie. At Kusaie we found all in usual health. Mr. Walkup is evidently. dissappoiated that no one came to his relief. They will come home with us. however. At Ponape all is quiet. The Govern or continues his kindness to the missionaries; at the same time it is hard to get him to hack up their efforts to keep the people in line morally. Mr. Ooane took a trip with me to Ruk and back. He is well. Mr. Rand's health is very poor. I think he will come up this trip to go home, and Miss Fletcher, too. It is my opinion that Miss Palmer should follow suit. That will leave only Dr. Ingersoll and Mr. Ooane to hold the fort at Ponape. At Ruk,'where we arrived August 14, we found Mr. Treiber down with a fever similar to Mr. Logan's. We could only talk with him a little while at a time. Mrs. Treiber and the baby boy are well. He is now convalescent, and will no doubt soon be out again. Mr. Worth is well, but no doubt a trip to a colder climate would give him new life. They were glad of the boat, but somewhat disappointed not to see the schooner which they confidently expected. We left Mr. Snelling in the Logan house, in the midst- of furniture, boxes and bundles. I prophesy a lonesome time for him this year. I hope to be able to write again from Jaluit. August 2;i. —We leave here to-day lor Kusaie and the eastern islands. Yours truly, Gko. F. Garland.

We have as many boarding pupils in Training school as we can take care of—forty. Seven of the forty are in the preparatory department. There are twelve couples and sixteen boys and single men. There are two classes of preachers. Ten ane in the first class, six Ponapeans, two from Pingelap, and two from Mortlock and Ruk. The last four will go west at the end of the year. The rest will be located on Ponape, some of them to return to school after teaching and preaching a year or more. One from Pingelap will spend about half the coming year teaching the rest in school. All but three in this class have preached some. FourofthemgoouteverySabbath; others occasionally. Two of the four • 7 THE FRIEND. are preaching at places where the church has been established for years. The other two laid their own foundations, going to places where there had never beet) an}' preaching or school, and no Christians at either place. At the first place, Mant Perti the work was begun three years ago. The Lord has blessed the work here. This is only a small village, but they have built a good church and teacher's house. Twelve were baptized in June. They have had three terms of school, eight weeks each. One couple from there a.re in the training school. At Mant PerUk, a larger village close by, there has been a grand work accomplished by one of the pupils. Mr. Logan, Mr. Donne and myself have tried time and again to put a teacher there, hut were prevented by the head man of the 'place, who is third in rank in his tribe. For years many of the young men have been urging him to lei them have a teacher; hut he persistently refused iintil he found out that his people were have waked up. One of them has been to Uana the residence of the Kiti King to look out a location, expecting to build a house and commence work in that tribe sqon. Mr. Doane seems apprehensive of a general effort to station priests throughout the Caroline group, also that the German Government will break up the Marshall Is. work. I incline- to more hopeful views. I admit that the priests may be able to draw some of our church members into their fold for a time, but such as will he small loss to the church. You will hear from others of Mrs. Walkup's decease. He will take the children home. You may see me on the Star this year. Fraternally yours, F. B. Kand. I'onlon. Ponape, Sept. 2.0, IHNB. the teaching at Mant Perti. Fearing they would soon get beyond his control, he yielded, and permitted them to have a teacher. William went there in April, preaching in an old feast house. After preaching there three or four Sabbaths, the old chief ordered that no more work be done on the Sabbath. The next week some of them came over saying they had the timbers ready for a church, and wanted me to go and select the location for it. In less than two weeks after the site was selected, they were worshipping in a neat, substantial church about eighteen by twenty-five. They have also built a long stone pier or wharf, also a house for their teacher, stone roads, etc. On July sth, one of the pupils from the Training School began school there and taught eight weeks. The agreement was that they were to board him and his wife and give them a dollar a week. At theend of the seventh week they had given him nine dollars in cash and cocoanuts. This is the first school that has come up to what we. required of them in regard to self support without a great deal of urging. A few weeks ago some of them came to me to find out how much a bell for their church would cost. I told them that thirty dollars would get one as large as they would need. Last Saturday they brought the first instalment of eleven dollars. The fourth week of school they concluded that their church was too small and made it twelve feet longer. Thus far this year seven'or eight of the pupils have taright in the station schools eighty-five or a hundred weeks, teaching two months and attending school two months. Since the settlement of the difficulty between the natives and Spanish all has been quiet. The priest have seemed to confine their teaching to the inside of the stockade, till this week they seem to almost every communion some join the church. We thank the Lord for these favors. The Spanish are quiet so far as we are concerned —we teach, preach, move about "at our own sweet wills." But recently the priests, who have been sort of incubating for a whole year, now bestir themselves—are starting out to occupy some places, our places we may say, for all the main points of the island are occupied by us. * * * This will of course divide our people. The priests here are free wine bibbers, and- smoke. Ah, say some of our ava drinkers, that is.the religion for me. As the Star goes up this year, Miss Fletcher feels quite sure now of going. She should by all means. Mr. Rand also expected to go. The Star will take up the news of the death of Sister Walkup, at Kusaie, in July, I think.

The temperance meetings for men have been continued in Brewer's lilock, but the attend.vice at the last two was not very inspiring. Certainly the cause of temperance has not so far triumphed in this city that its friends-can afford to retire from the field. We need scores of men who, like Paul of old, are able and read}- to "reason of temperance" as well as "righteousness," and who will remind the drunkard and the drunkardmaker that there is a "judgment to come. Mr. P. C. Jones Jias organized two new classes in Book-keeping. They meet at 6:30 and 7:la every Monday evening. We are pleased to see that the Sunday evening gospel meeting has been more largely attended during the last mouth. There are many more young men who ought to find it a glad privilege to be present and honor their Say lour by some willing service. The Committee who have the Blue Ribbon Entertainments in charge eon tinue to meet with a willing response from the kind friends who have so frequently assisted on the programme. We hope to continue these gatherings as a public protest against intoxicating drink and as an educating medium in favor of total abstinence.

He was un in half a minute,and I saw he had no over-coat, no mittens, a cap without a visor, and tattered clothes; hut I soon found he had a noble heart beating beneath his ragged jacket.

John 15:1ft, — �THE FRIEND Our New Year's Day is signalized by total eclipse of the sun, best visible a little north of San Francisco. Many observing parties were to gather in that vicinity. The progress of photography, especially in instantaneous work, immensely facilitates improved observations. A leading object of study is the sun's Corona, the problem of whose nature is yet unsolved. A probable hypothesis is that it is composed of the blended tails of innumerable cometic or meteoric bodies in close attend.ok c upon the sun. A successful method "f photo graphing tin. Corona at all tunes which was invented by Dr. Huggins, was speedily foiled by the .introduction ot Krakatoa dust into the atmosphere producing the powerful atmospheric corona known as Bishop's Ring. It is doubtful whether this has yd entirely disappeared. Dr. Huggins' method does not appear to to.have been resumed, and the study of the solar corona still depends on the rare occurrence of total eclipses. Another and very important matter of observation •in all Solar eclipses are the moments ol contact, which furnish very precise data for the correction of tables of lunar a motion. Great Volcanic Activity at Kilauea. A powerful outpour of lava over the main floor of the Caldera, took place during the middle of December,continuing for several days. Hon. H. M.Whit ney was fortunately on the ground at the time, and has furnished the Gazettt .mil Ail, tilis, > an extended account °i the flow. Mr. Whitney is both enter prising and fortunate in usually hitting our volcanoes when doing their fines! work. Readers of the Friend m ly i in mber our account'of the state of the lava last yeai when visited h\ Professor Dm i. The most prominent point ol activity at that time was Dana Lake, a ;. uid of liquid lava situated in the west side of the area of Haleani.iumau, between the debris cone and the wall of the pit, then one hundred and lilt}- feet deep. During the sixteen months since then the sunken area of 11 .ileumairman half S mile in diameter has been gradu ally Idling up, partly no doubt by uplifting from oelow, ;ts during the previous year, but very largely by the overflow of lava from the many openings around the cell tral cone of debris. Dana Lake has been a chief contributor to filling up Hale amaumau. All the western part of the pit is now built up even with the main floor of Kilauea. and Dana Lake itself is above that level, having a raised edge sloping outwards, crater fashion. This little crater has now overflowed, pouring forth a great stream upwards of a mile Most of this stream was aa or clinker lava, very rare in Kilauea. The srght was of course a very grand one. Kilauea may be considered now tOhave leg.lined its full average standard of vigorous display and copious outpour. This was materially diminished for two years sub tequent to the collapse ol 1886. The present activity will probably continue for several years before another outbreak occurs below, drawing off the upper lires. The hotel at the volcano is well kept and affords great comfort to touiists. it is itself an attractive place, aside Irom the absorbing interest of the gigantic lire fountains. The latest word reports Haleamaumau entirely full and overflowing in all directions. The former great "New Lake" is filled and obliterated, The wholi is in a state of activity seldom exceeded. Selections. to the northward. John Sunday, the converted Indian chief of Upper Canada, addressing a missionary meeting, in his appeal to the benevolence of the people previous to the collection, said: "There is a gentleman. I suppose, now in this house; he is a very line gentleman, but he is very modest.' He does not like to show himself. I do not know how long it is since I saw him, he comes out so little. I am very much afraid he sleeps a great deal of his time, when he ought to be going about doing good. His name is Mr. Ciold. Mr. (iold, are you here to-night? 01 are you sleeping in your iron chest? Come out, Mr. Gold, come out, and help us to do this great work, to send the Gospel to every creature. Ah, Mr. Ciold, you ought to he ashamed of yourself, to sleep so much in your iron chest! Look at your white brother. Mr. Silver; he does a great deal ol g rod m the world, while you are steeping. Come out Mr. (iold! Look, too. at your brown brother, Mr. Copper; he is everywhere! Sec, him running about doing all the good lie can. Wiiy don't you come out. Mr. Gold? Well, if you won't come out and give up yourself, send us your shirt (that is, a hank note), and we will excuse you this time." I met only the other day a man whom I once knew as a common drunkard. The face then was brutal in the extreme. Hut to-day it is a tender lace. The eyes look fearlessly and kindly on the world. I'iic voice is softened, and there are lines of sweetness all through the face. He has lived in the closest communion Willi the Lord that redeemed him. and he is actually transfigured. The soul that one smouldered there was a beastly soul. The life that is manifest now has been kindled by the Spirit of God. It is the Christ life; and every man can see it. 1., lamp/nan. Right in the middle of the path of duty no power of earth or hell can really harm you ; but beware how you take to the bushes along that path! When growth ceases, decay begins. He is worth no weal that can bide no woe. Braun without brain never won a victory. Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle. As well to create good precedents, as to follow them. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Turn from the irreparable past to the available future. Religion is not a dogma, nor an emotion, but a service. The hiding places of man are dis- covered by affliction, Satan We always rocks the Cradle when sleep at our devotions. The sublimity of the mountain is not in the mountain, but in us. A note pitched too high is equally silent with one pitched too low. Behavior is continually revealing us; what a man does tells what he is. The best place to prepare for the duties of life is that of Mary—at Jesus' feet. Any fool can ask questions; but it takes a wise man not to try to answer them. God creates, governs, judges, punishes, pities, redeems, and saves; but love is the root of all. Life is not victory, but battle. Kvery battle declined, as well as every battle drawn, is a battle lost. God is a shower to the heart burned up with anguish. God is a sun to the face deluged with tears. No man has a prosperity so lfigh or so linn hut that two or three words can dishearten it. Emerson, Ten thousand great faults in my neighbors are ol less consequence to me than one small fault in myself. He that leans upon bis comforts will find them a re. il; he that leans upon (iod will find Him to be a Rock. (iod loves righteousness and hates sin; the devil loves sin ,m.\ hates righteousness. That is the difference. The devil is well satisfied with a Christian who will do things in New York that he would not do at home. A child of God should be a visible beatitude for joy and happiness, and a living doxology for gratitude and adoration. Think of the day, the humbling, affecting, overwhelming day, when the cup of cold water will reappear as an ingredient in the everlasting glory. The man who would shudder at the idea of a rough word of the description commonly called swearing will not even have a twinge of conscience after a whole morning of ill-tempered sullenness, capricious scolding, villainously unfair animadversion, or surly, crossgrained treatment generally of wife and children. �THE FRIEND.
