The death of this venerable Christian man removes one of the best known old landmarks in our churches. For a long period until resignation on account of the infirmities of age, Mr. Thrum was one ofthe Deacons ofthe Bethel Church, greatly beloved and esteemed. After the establishment of the Sailor's Home, Mr. and -Mrs. Thrum were for many years its managers, and made it a success. Father and Mother Thrum thus became widely and kindly known to the wandering mariners of all the oceans, and by their simple, warm-hearted piety helped to win many of them to Christ. "Thomas Augustine Thrum born in London, England, November 17, 1811, and died May 5, 1889, in his seventy-eighth year. By trade a boatbuilder and shipwright, as was his father, he emigrated with his parents to New South Wales in 1838 or 1839, and soon after married Elizabeth Wharton McPhail, whose noble life ended only two years since. He arrived in Honolulu in 1851. His life among us has been one of laborious and.patient industry, and of devout and faithful Christian piety. He has rendered most useful and excellent service in Christian work. He will be especially remembered for his warm and earnest prayers and exhortations, which always had the savor of the genuine love and ardor of a true Christian heart. Those who heard Deacon Thrum pray always felt that here was one of the Lord's true disciples, loving and beloved of his Savior. Mr. Thrum is mourned by a large family of children and grandchildren. Among the best known of his children residing among us are Mrs. Judge Dayton and Mr. Thomas G. Thrum, Registrar of Conveyances. Aged as was the deceased, he could have said with old Israel, that he had not attained "to the days of the years of the life" of his fathers, since at last accounts his father was still alive in Australia at the age now of one hundred and two years. Father Thrum has gone from us, fully ripe in years, in piety, in faith. His departure was easy and peaceful. On his last Sabbath he worshipped in his usual place in church; the next Sabbath he rested from his labors with the redeemed ofthe Lord. �44 A Sunday Afternoon with our Chinese THE FRIEND.

Some ofthe Chinese are gathered about the long table which runs the length of the room, conning diligently their books, while a motley company gather about the doors, who are full of curiosity to see what this whole affair means. If they carry away with them nothing more than the memory of these kind friends' faithful attention to the good of their countrymen, they will not have lingered in vain. It is through these openings that the sunlight ofChristian love and benevolence reaches to and warms the hearts of men. Out once more in the open air and this time in the direction of the Kamehameha Schools, under whose protecting shadow we find a neat, pleasant school-house, where we find Mr, Terry and some of the young men from the institution, giving instruction to a group of Chinese who came from the neighborhood. As we watch the young Hawaiians, for whom so much is being done by faithful teachers, through the week, we rejoice to feel that they are also learning to share with others the light which they have received. We have but time for our most recently opened school, up Nuuanu Valley, in the native church on Wylie street, which the Hawaiians generously opened to us for this hour of the day and where the faithful old sexton is vigorously ringing the bell, as we arrive. It is a bright, pleasant building within, hung round with Bible pictures which are a lesson in themselves. Mrs. Jordan and several other kind friends, are begining the work here with good heart and will. 'The grateful faces ol the Chinese witness to their appreciation of this undertaking. May it prosper and grow! We would gladly linger longer at all these schools, but we have tinje for only a' hasty glance at this time. Some who have never visited these schools may ask. what is the good of all this effort ? We are sure those who are engaged in the work and know more about it are not troubled with such questionings, but rejoice in the privilege which is afforded them of sharing with others the blessed truths which have brought "ligh.t and life" to their own hearts. This effort we are convinced is productive of much good; it brings a large reward to both teacher and taught. It is a work which the Master owns and blesses. Most fervently do we hope that all Christian friends will earnestly pray that this work may go forward and increase in power and beneficent influence. At another time it may be interesting to note the progress of similar work at different points on the Islands. Most gladly will be welcome further additions to our teaching force here in Honolulu and in the country. F. W.

It contained forty-six hymns, prepared by Rev. Hiram Bingham, one of the pioneer missionaries of the A. B. C. F. M. In preparing the hymns he had the co-operation of Rev. William Ellis, one of the L. M. S. missionaries to Tahiti. It will be remembered that Mr. Ellis providentially visited the Sandwich Islands on his way to the Marquesas, was persuaded to remain a while, and greatly assisted the American missionaries in many ways during his stay in these islands from April 1823 to September 1824. The original of many of these early Hawaiian hymns will be found in the Tahitian hymn book. The second edition, of sixty-three hymns, was published in 1827; the third in 1830, wit* 100 hymns; the fourth, 194 hymns, in 1837. Rev. Mr. Bingham edited all these, and wrote the prefaces with directions for reading and singing. On his departure from the islands in 1840, Rev. Lorenzo Lyons took up the work of translating and composing hymns, and supervised the next four editions of the hymn book. 'The fifth, published in 1*46, contained 274 hymns; the sixth, 1855, had 311 hymns; the seventh, 404, in 1864; the eighth and last, published in 1870 and printed in several successive editions of 1,000 each, comprises 612 hymns. Of these 363 were translations of English hymns, such old favorites as "A Charge to Keep I have,'' "Alas land did my Saviour bleed," &c, &C, and recent popular hymns also, "A light in the window,'" Beautiful City," "Depth of mere}' can there be," "He leadeth me," &c, &c. Of these 61 2 hymns Rev. A. O. Forbes wrote one; Rev. R. Armstrong two; Rev. A. Bishop seven; Rev. W. Ellis eight; Rev. H. Bingham ninetytwo; Rev. L. Lyons 472. Continuing his missionary labors for over fifty years " 1832-1886, at Waimea, Hawaii, Father Lyons took great delight, atone station, during all the feebleness of his later years, in writing as regularly as the week came round at least one hymn. He sent these hymns to Honolulu for publication in the Kuokoa, the weekly Hawaiian newspaper. He also prepared two Sunday School Hymn Books, the Lei Alii (Royal Crown) in 1878, pp. 160, 157 hymns; and in 1881 the Hoku Ao Xani (Beautiful Morning Star), 288 hymns, 306 pp. This last was published at his own cost and charges with the money given him ($1,200) as a jubilee testimonial from the Hawaiian Sunday Schools. A similar but smaller S. S. Hymn and Tune Book had been published in 1870 (republished 1872) the Hae Hoonani (Banner of Praise), containing thirty-six hymns, originally pub- 45 THE FRIEND. child's paper, published by the Hawaiian Board. The Leo Hooninna is a similar smiiil collection. Earlier children's hymn books were the Hintent Kamalii, published in 1832, a second edition in 1838, ten hymns, pp. 12, with a condensed.rhythmical compend of the Ten Commandments; and the Lira Kamalii, the hymns edited by Rev. E. Bond, and the tunes by Rev. G. B. Rowell, published in 1862, republished in 1867, pp. 192, 148 hymns. A Temperance Song Book, Mclc Pnali Inuwai, forthe Bands of Hope, was published in 1849. Another, Kiilu Wat Liili'i (Little Drops of Water), was printed in 18*7. A separate treatise on the rudiments of music, Kiiiiiu Leomele, printed in 1832. was also bound up with the third edition of the hymn book. Instead of the usual do, re, mi, Mr. Bingham chose for the Hawaiian gamut the syllables pa, ko, li, hd, no, la, mi, and singing the scale in Hawaiian is called pa-ko-li. just as spelling the syllable pa. pa, Sec, in the first Hawaiian primer, has led to giving the name pi-a-pa to the Hawaiian alphabet as well as to the spelling book. The Lira Hawaii, a tune book printed in several ed'lions, 1814, 1816, 1848, 1855, contains the collection of the standard church tunes, 226 in all, and 95 chants in common use in the Hawaiian churches. In 1872 a selection of sixty of the Moody and Sankey Gospel Hymns, Na Himcni Euauelio, translated by Rev. L. Lyons, was published by the Hawaiian Board, and met with a speedy sale. A second selection of sixty hymns was published in 1884, and a third in 1886. These three are now bound together and sold as one book, and a new edition of 1,000 has just been published. These books proved of great service in making successful the evangelistic meetings held during that time. The Catholics published a hymn book and tune book in 1564, and the English Episcopalians a hymn book in Hawaiian for their school and church use in 1863. c. M. H. News has been received from Dr. Secretary of the A. B. C. F. M., that a new missionary has been found for the Micronesian field, a Rev. John J. Forbes, who is to be stationed with the Rev. Mr. Doane, the veteran of Ponape. Judson Smith, It is also hoped that Mrs. Logan maysee her way clear to return to her old field at Ruk. If she comes she may be expected in time for the return of the Morning Shir. Mrs. Snelling is to come on at the same time, and possibly another lady teacher to go to the assistance of the depleted and burdened Kusaiean workers. Another thousand dollars for the Theological Institute! Good; but it is not good enough yet; seven thousand is not sufficient; we want ten thousand, and a lot more for other things besides. (Continued from page 40.) So far as it goes its influence is in- valuable. It is in the hands of an able and a good man who speaks truth in wisdom and fearlessness. Once a month things get said in it which need to be said. For years it has been voicing our best convictions, and yet it is permitted to do this only at the lengthy interval of the month. That is not frequent enough for these days. It is crippled in its beneficent work foi want of means. It needs enlargement; capital should be put into it; capital could not make a better investment for itself than this. We are in need of an influence to be put forth in the fear of God and his truth, just such as this paper represents, and only asks to be pecuniarily backed that it may wield it. The Friend should be granted a semi-monthly issue. This would greatly magnify its power. It would freshen its pages and make it doubly attractive both at home and abroad. A semi-monthly issue would meet better the times of our mails— would send our voice abroad, that in sonorous tones it might repel the false reports that now in their outbound course so frequently get the start of us. This semi-monthly issue would put us at a vastly greater advantage in the struggle with evil than we are now in. But to achieve such a result as this would require capital and a properly salaried editor. The man is at hand if only the money were forthcoming. Diversity of Churches a Blessing. The English people is too rich in religious character and political achievment to have been the creation of any one church. No one of them all can survey our mighty millions at home and beyond the seas and say, " Lo! all these are the work of my hands." 'Towards the result every, even the obscurest, sect has contributed, and churches not ofthe English state are yet of the English people, means and agents by which the spirit and truth of Christ have been translated into English conduct, custom, law. Presbytery helped to preserve and develop our representative institutions ; Independency to evoke and discipline our love of freedom; Quakerism to deepen and strengthen the need of inwardness, simplicity and ethical reality in religion; Methodism to accentuate the value of personal conviction, sincerity, zeal. God has had some message to send through each special community, or it would not have been. It is a shallow and futile philosophy of history that finds God for Esurope only in the Catholic, or for England only in the Anglican Church —that sees in the Protestant or Free Churches only the spirit of schism or wilfulness or perverse individualism. God's ways are despised that honor may be done to a potent and venerable ecclesiastical order.—A. M. Fatrbairn, �46 THE FRIEND. The Messrs. Gulick on Church Consolidation. An Eminent Citizen.

There still remains to be contreasures of certain persons who are ■idered the history of union movements. To we now invite your attention. The organic being scorned on earth for their poverty. this union of the Church of Christ has been the dream Fear not, ye sacred souls. of every age, but the realization of none. This [June, 1889. dream has been fostered by the persistent misun derstanding of Christ's prayer that all his own might be one. even as he himself and the Father were one. That Christ did not here refer to the organic unity of the Church is'what commentators insist on. The machinery of the Church was nothing to him (he seldom even spoke of it), compared to the unity of spirit and brotherly love, which alone could give the Church true life and power in spreading the Gospel. It is high time, therefore, that Christians should understand this, and to give up the day-dream that organic unity of the Church will of itself give real power to the Church in saving men or redound to the glory ol God. The shame and weakness of the Church is not that there are many organizations, but rather that there are and have been dissensions and conflicts, so long and so bitter, all of which are due to the lack of that very unity of spirit for which Christ did pray. , However, every church has dreamed of and longed for organic union, and all have been ready and anxious to have the rest join with them. This is also the condition of union urged by the Roman and Episcopal churches, for the reason that they are, as they claim, the only true churches. This is also the condition of union offered by the Presbyterian churches to those of other politic*. Congregationalists alone have been the ones will ing to abandon their own polity, and to make an attempt at union, for the sake of the advantages which it seemed to offer. Their experience in these attempts for over a hundred years has been a bitter one, and they are beginning to see that success is impossible from the very nature of the case; they are beginning to hear the voice of hi*tory, which says, not in words, but in deeds, that those who xxould retain the practical advantages of freedom must hold fast to the fact of such free dom. That polities so opposite as the prelatical, the Presbyterian, and the Congregationalism which have been truly characterized as the autocratic, the aristocratic, and the democratic, should not be able to form genuine unions is a necessary consequence ot the nature of their polities. But why unions should not take place between bodies having the same polity is difficult to see. Such, indeed, have been the successful unions in the past, chiefly in the Presbyterian denominations, and of which the present Union Presbyterian body in Japan (Ichi Kyokwai) is an example. But it is a' strange fact that there, are in the United States thirteen distinct Presbyterian bodies, which have not yet been able to unite; many efforts have been made within the last four years to effect such unions between the larger bodies, but all the efforts have signally failed, and, according to their own leading historian, there is now no pros pect left that such union will take place in this century. Though among the Presbyterian bodies there have been many successful unions, there have been more disruptions. So long, therefore, as Presbyterian bodies cannot secure organic union among themselves, who have nothing to surrender as to polity, it is idle for them to make charges against Congregationalism, because, forsooth, it will not entirely give up its polity and become Presbyterian. Were it a question of Presbyterians becoming Congregationalists. of course the latter would have no objection. Were the Ichi Kyokwai churches ready, perchance, to modify the constitution by leaving out, among other things, the system of courts, and so make the proposed Nippon Kirisuto Kyokwai a genuine Congregational body, it would be the first conspicuous instance in history of Presbyterians, by union, becoming Congregational, and would be a happy omen for the future of Japan. Like all churches, however, Presbyterians are, ready for union, when it is the other polity that i* to surrender. If you are in the spirit of prayer,' do not be long, because other people will not be able to keep pace with you in 6uch unusual spirituality; and if you are not in the spirit of prayer, do not be long, because you will be sure to weary the listeners. — John Macdonald. �Volume 47, No. 6.J Rev.

Mr. W. comes with a noble record of able and successful work for souls in Colorado, and with a fund of ministerial experience which must be largely applicable even in the new and peculiar social conditions to be met among Hawaiians. We are glad to learn that he has made a most favorable impression already among the Hawaiian churches and their pastors, among whom he comes to labor as a Ii :end and counsellor, especially to the young pastors, who find themselves, deprived of the stimulating spiritual and intellectual influences of the Seminary where they were trained.

It is their defect that they are too material. Hut this charge was never, to our knowledge, brought up against any missionary organization. They are generally regarded as unduly spiritual, and as rather lacking in the things of this world. The latter charge is a true one. Missionary organizations, unworldly as they may he in their aim, have yet great need of the substantial things of this world; and this need, imperative as it is, has been only partially recognized. So meager is this recognition that it is a public scandal, and provokes ungodly mirth. A missionary carriage is understood to he a sort of ramshackle of a a missionary horse is an old, used up plow-horse,' without spirit or gait ; a missionary bouse well, it is a house that is rarely painted or repaired, and when work is clone on it, it is of the cheapest kind and has no regard for taste. The missionary must not growl if things are so, nor utter a word of complaint for himself. But the world sees it. and understands why it is so. Missionary operations must be carried on at the lowest possible expense; they must go as far possible and cost a:- little- as possible. There must be no extravagance nothing may go for show; there must beno sentiment about it. So far as the missionary is concerned he says that retrenchment is the word of the day. He tuts his cloth according to the pattern of an iron necessity. Hut it is not good for the rest of us that this should he so. We should feel that nothing is too good for our nr ;s nnaries. We cannot neglect them and fail of neglecting ourselves. Ourrememb ances ought to be rentii red them i:i the name of our own good. We plead in behalf of the reflex influence of such em nb.ances.

Fuller, - - - - Editor. The Outlook. The last number of The Friend contained the full report of the twentieth anniversary of this Association, held April 25th. That event closed the old year and ushered in the new. More radical changes have been made in the various committees, and more time put into the arrangement of the work this year than ever before, and the good results are already apparent. Nearly every committee has its work well in hand. The committees upon devotional work and invitations have taken hold with a will. The other committees are falling into line, and everything indicates that this will be one of the most prosperous years in the history of this Association. The growing interest in our work on the part of our younger members is very encouraging; this and the recent accessions to our force give a new impulse to the entire institution. This year it was decided to carry a good theory, regarding our finances, into actual practice, and during the first month try to secure pledges enough to cover the expenses for the entire year. As the Finance Committee were unusually occupied last month, the General Secretary came to their assistance in receiving a renewal of expired pledges and getting a large number of new ones. It was a new experience in this city, and one that for real pleasure and encouragement in the work, we think cannot be duplicated by any Secretary in any Association field in Christendom. The cordial welcome, hearty sympathy and large liberality with which we were greeted was refreshing and inspiring when compared with some fields in a larger country than this, that could be mentioned. There is still room and need for more pledges to meet the requirements of the year. Those desiring to help either the foreign or Hawaiian department can leave their names with Mr. C. M. Cooke, Chairman of the Finance Committee, or with Secretary Fuller, at the Rooms. There has been considerable just criticism about the arrangement of cur Hall for purposes of public entertainment. During the past few weeks this difficulty has been largely overcome by the permanent enlargement of the platform, and an arrangement of the curtains when they are needed, that will give a good view of the platform from all parts ofthe hall. This will improve the conditions for the work of the Entertainment Committee, and also make our hall more de- sirable for renting on proper occasions. The Association have voted to continue the occupancy of the Queen limma Branch another year. The various uses to which it is put for the benefit of three important nationalities seems to abundantly warrant the necessary outlay for the continuance of the work. Any contemplated aid of purse or presence can be reported to Judge Judd, chairman of the committee. Sunday Evening Service. erything he could lay his hands on.

Study the Bible. During the last two months the attendance at the Sunday Evening Praise Service has very much increased, and a new spirit seems to pervade the meetings. This is largely the result of new plans and increased personal effort on the part of the new Devotional Committee. We want the good work to go right on, and it will, if all the members will take a personal interest and help the Committee by coming to the meetings themselves and inviting others, and then doing their.duty when there. Some neat invitation cards havebeen prepared for the use of members in inviting young men to this service, and can be obtained ofthe General Secretary. The meeting is held in the Hall every Sunday evening at 6:30. Young men and strangers are cordially invited. Ths topics for the month are as follows: June 2—Drifting. Acts 24:24-27. Heb. 2:1-4. June 9 —What Doest Thou Here? Kings 19:9-18. Ps. 56:3. June 16—Objection to Truth does not make it less true. Jer. 19:14-15. 20:1-6. 39:1-2. June 23—They let slip their Opportunity.

Do not skim it or read, but study it, every word ; study the whole Bible, Old Testament and New; not your favorite chapters merely, but the complete Word of God from beginning to end. Don't trouble yourself with commentators; they may be of use if kept in their place, but they are not your guide. Your guide is "the Interpreter," the one among a thousand (Job xxxiii, 23) who will lead you into all truth (John xxi, 13), and keep you from all error. Not that you are to read no book but the Bible. All that is true and good is worth reading, if j'ou have time for it; and all, if properly used, will help you in the study of the Scriptures. * * * Let us read and re-read the Scriptures, meditating on them day and night; they never grow old, they never lose their sap, they never run dry. Don't let man's book thrust God's book into a corner; don't let commentaries smother the text; don't let the true and the good smother the truer and the better. Beware of light reading. Shun novels; they are the literary curse of the age ; they are to the soul what ardent spirits are to the body.

One subject which specially interested the students was the place which Christianity holds in the colleges and among the highly educated of the West. Many of them had been led to think that Christianity was losing its hold upon our in- tellectual classes. This outrageous false- hood has been circulated in Japan byskeptical professors from lingland, Germany and America. The same men also tell their countrymen that Christianity is a failure in Japan. One of these American misrepresentatives has the effrontery to challenge me to find a single Christian in Japan. I shall consider my mission to the young men of the liast a success if it simply enables me to say to the students of the Christian and government schools that while only one in twenty of all classes of our American young men combined is a member of an evangelical church, betM'een one-half and one-third of the young men in the colleges and universities are professing Christians. Any one wishing to strengthen his faith in Christianity by verifying these figures will find them in the table of College Associations in the last Year Book published by the International Committee. The only audience to which these figures appeared unpalatable was a large meeting held in a theatre in Kyoto. The students of Doshisha conducted the it, but it was not necessary. I had com- T D.
