We had one hundred extra copies printed, which were all bought up early. The aiticle was reprinted in the August number of the Paradise of the Pacific, which we believe can still be obtained of the publishers. A great number of warm commendatory expressions have reached us, and not i whisper of any adverse feeling. In fact, our whole community seems to have been in a state of very hearty disgust at the absurd craze into which many people in England and America have been led about certain fictitious merits imputed to Father Damien, and of indignation at the slanderous charges of neglect of the lepers by this Government. The only approach to censure we have encountered, was for having been too moderate, and having suppressed so much that might have been said. All, however, have recognized the necessity of reserve in speaking of one who is gone, and who with all his faults may be regarded as a very benevolent and devoted man. The N. Y. Independent has kindly adopted our statements, and sent them forth under its own editorial authority, having doubtless been fully advised of their correctness. The Christian Union carps at the strong official evidence we adduced, and makes no concessions, as it might easily have done, having evidently had no information from reliable sources. If people in England and America cannot recognize the numerous exam- ples of exalted heroism so often displayed at home and abroad, and need to fashion an idol for worship out of the distorted imaginations of fanciful and 71 The Friend. unscrupulous correspondents, they will We repeat that this work of caring fur doubtless do so, regardless of anything the physical needs of the lepers has beer. that can be said by people here, who well done —and that Father Damien's know just what the facts are.

" �THE FRIEND. 72 Narrative of a Visit to Brazil, Chile, Peru and the Sandwich Islands, during the Years 1821 and 1882, by Gilbert Farquhar Mathison, Esq. London, 1825. CHAPTER XIII. VOYAGE TO THE SANDWICH ISLANDS, AND RESIDENCE AT WOAHOO. June 25. * * At two o'clock p.m. we could plainly distinguish the huts, canoes, and persons of the natives on the seashore—some employed in fishing, others in mending their nets. The shipping and smoke of Hannah-rourah, the capital of the Sandwich Islands, soon after came into view, and the approach of some boats and canoes kept us all in a state of agreeable excitement. At three o'clock we anchored in the roadstead, and received visits from several American residents. They assured us that no danger was to be apprehended from the natives, with whom they had been accustomed to live upon the most amicable footing, and that some missionaries and their families were likewise established here. Mr. Jones, the American Consul, kindly offered me accommodation for the night, which I accepted, and immediately accompanied him upon shore, leaving my fellowpassengers, who were less eager and impatient, to follow the next day. Upon landing we were immediately surrounded by a mob of men, women, and children, who pressed forward to shake me by the hand, and eyed me with great apparent curiosity. They were all dressed an naturel, or nearly so, with nothing but the maro, a cincture of cloth made from the paper-mulberry tree, round their waists; their cries were most discordant, and the clatter of women's tongues not the least audible. I afterwards found out that they were settling a nickname for me, in allusion to some peculiarity in my dress or person. * Having � ' * * thus encountered their jokes on first landing, I went with the Consul to the palace of the King, if such a term can be applied to a grass hut, floored with mats, and only distinguished from the rest by a few cannon placed about it, in terrorem. Imagination had pictured the monarch sitting in the midst of his chiefs with dignified composure, his interpreter on one side and secretary on the other (for he really has two such officers); and as the subject of a brother king, I anticipated a most gracious reception. What then was my astonishment on entering the royal hut! "Oh, majesty! Oh, high ambition, lowly laid!" The royal beast lay sprawling on the ground in a state of total drunkenness and insensibility. On one side of his head was extended an enormous sow, which every now and then gave a grunt, as if in sympathy with its master; and upon the other side sat his Queen, an immense woman, like,him, almost in a state of primitive nudity, who seemed [Septmbr, 1889. endeavoring, though in vain, by her but it was evident that she had gone too caresses, to assuage his beastly trans- far already. She did not hesitate to own ports: a few chiefs and domestics, in all her frailty, indeed, and said that as her about twenty, completed the group— some asleep, others fanning away the flies, and singing the wildest and harshest lullaby that ever saluted mortal ears. We then passed into another room belonging to the head Queen; who, though equally large in her person, had a benevolent and pleasing cast of countenance. She was dressed in a loose robe of FLnglish chintz, and to my delight, was engaged in learning to write, which she had only attempted within a few days. She showed me her performance on the slate with great eagerness; and well she might, for the letters were by no means badly formed. I then underwent, as on my first landing, a thorough examination, during which her Majesty often laughed immoderately, and ended her remarks by saying that I was a mere child, and had no beard. The ground part of the apartment was matted, and the walls hung round with mats, and a large and handsome mirror on one side, and upon the whole had a comfortable appearance; though the furniture, comprising several Chinese chests, a mahogany table, and three matted bedsteads—in addition to the living furniture, comprising her Majesty the Queen and her numerous attendants, who lay extended on the floor in different attitudes, and kept up an incessant singing sort of noise—gave to the whole scene a truly fantastic character. Mr. Jones accommodated me at night with a bed in his hut, and introduced me the next morning to the other American residents, who were all sea-faring men, and had come to this place to carry on a trade for sandal wood. We then paid a second visit to the King, who had by this time recovered a little from the debauch of the preceding night. He shook me heartily by the hand, and was pleased at hearing that I was an saying that his Islands belonged to the King of Great Britain, to whom they had been formerly surrendered in Vancouver's time, by his father, old Tama-hama-hah, and desiring me to apply to him for anything I might want during my stay. He afterward said that he was too much intoxicated to talk with me any longer at the moment, but hoped to be sober in the course of a few days, and in the meantime would have the Queen to do the honors of the house. We were ushered accordingly into the inner apartment, where a third lady, whom 1 had not yet seen, presided at a table which groaned under the weight of bottles of wine, and almost every spirituous liquor. I immediately drank her health in a glass of wine; but she, to my great surprise, pledged me in a good tumblerful of gin, and quaffed it off at one draught as if it had been husband had been enjoying a drinking- bout, she had a right to take the same license herself. She then began to tumble about the room, and sing, or rather utter, discordant cries after the fashion of the country, until I could bear the sight no longer, and turned away in disgust, lamenting the beastly excesses to which the human creature is carried in a natural and unenlightened state. The mere arts of civilization and intercourse with liuropeans are evidently insufficient to elevate the character, or correct the immoral habits, of men in such a state of society. This is reserved for an infinitely more powerful and influential cause, namely, the Christian dispensation; and who then, that had witnessed such a scene in life as I have here cursorily described, but would feel most anxious to impart the blessings of Christianity to these rude islanders? So thinking, I directed my steps to the dwelling of some American Missionaries, who had arrived a few months ago, and my visit was altogether most gratifying. Their house, a little distant from the village, is built of wood, brought with them ready prepared from America, and is sufficiently large for the accommodation of four missionaries, with their wives and families; of whom the principal, Mr. Bingham, seemed very active and zealous in the discharge of his missionary duties. Three English gentlemen were on a visit to them; namely Mr. lvllis, a missionary from Otaheite, and Messrs. Bennet and Tyerman, sent out by the London missionary society to inspect all their different stations. They had taken advantage of an opportunity which offered from Otaheite to visit the Sandwich Islands, and were agreeably surprised to find that a beginning had been already made in the work of propagating the Christian religion among them. Mr. Ellis found the language analogous to that of the Society Islands, with which he was perfectly acquainted; and having brought some converted natives from thence with him, their united exertions proved of great use to Mr. Bingham and his associates. Mr. Ellia gave me much interesting information respecting the past and present state of Otaheite and its dependencies. The efforts of the Missionaries have at length been attended by success; as a proof of which he said the King, with the greater part of his subjects, are now not only good moral Christians, but sufficiently well instructed to be able to read the Gospel and other religious books which have been translated into the language of the country, and they cooperate zealously in the propagation of Christian knowledge among the adjacent islands. With regard to the Sandwich Islands, water." The fourth and last Queen was next it ci nnot be expected that any beneficial introduced, and made a similar libation; result should be perceived in the short �Volume 47, No. 9.] space of a few months after the arrival of the missionaries. It is enough that a beginning is made, and facilitated by several favorable circumstances, of which the following is the most important; namely, the previous abolition of idolatry. Upon the King, * meanwhile, depends in a great measure the nominal conversion of his subjects, for many of them have repeatedly told the missionaries, that before they can attend earnestly to the new religion, they must have the King's express declaration in its favor. The chief obstacle to its progress is perhaps the enmity and unchristian conduct ef the F-uropean and American residents, who are most of them directly or indirectly opposed to the cause of religion, as well from their habits of life, as because they perceive that when the natives become instructed in useful knowledge, their own mental superiority will cease, and with it the attendant influence they now possess. But these evils cure themselves; already has the bad conduct of the whites prepossessed the Sandwich Islanders against them, and their influence will no doubt dailydecrease, in proportion as the march of religious civilization advances. June 27.—This day I again visited the King, who lay as usual on the ground, in the costume of a common sailor. He was surrounded by sixteen Chiefs, sitting on chairs, and newly dressed in blue nankeen clothes which had just been brought from China in an American brig. Some displayed watchchains, and all seemed very proud of their new dresses, particularly as they were a present from his Majesty. They shook me by the hand very cordially, and with an air of most consequential satisfaction. The principal Queen was engaged within the hut with Mr. F2llis in learning to read and write. The favorite Queen lay on the ground by the King, like him in the fashionable dishabille of the island. The swine too, which I had before noticed, were still in the apartment, and quietly reposed not far from their Royal master and mistress: so much for the beauty of a state of nature! * * * The prospect which presented itself from the verge of this hill (Diamond Head) was not less beautiful than extensive: a small but fertile plain ten or twelve miles in length, tarrowplantations, cocoa-nut and other trees, and uncultivated moss-ground, interspersed with villages and cottages. Among these, Whyteete and Hannahrourah, the latter distinguished by its port and shipping, were particularly observable. causes of * * * Among other beach-comber complaint, he (an in Koolau) inveighed bitterly and with truth against the tyranny of the chiefs, who claim a right to possess all private property which is acquired upon their 73 THE FRIEND. sity delivered up, sooner or later, to the Chief whom they serve. In the afternoon Coxe, at our request, gave what is called a Hourah-hoiirah, or festival, similar to those described by Cook and Vancouver, but comparatively insignificant both as to the number and skill of the performers.

This takes place independent of the customary presents and tributes; even every dollar obtained by traffic with strangers must he given up, on pain of the chief's displeasure. liuropeans are subject to the same op- * �THE FRIEND. 74 sident, who acted" as the King's inter" preter, and by his industry—a rare virtue among Europeans here—had become a rich and useful member of the community. He was a Spaniard by birth, and spoke English remarkably well. He gave me some wine made by himself from a grape grown in the country, which he had been the first to introduce. He showed me his farm-yard, and grounds adjoining, stocked with a herd of fine cattle, the only cattle in the island, and with goats, pigs, poultry, and pigeons, and some horses of an inferior South American breed, of his own importation. He had several plantations of tarrow and sweet potatoes in the interior; and besides the vine, was endeavouring to cultivate other vegetable productions, such as the cotton-tree, maize, pease, beans, etc. Of all he showed me samples; some I had seen successfully cultivated elsewhere. He spoke much of the fertility of the soil, and assured me that if the natives could by any means be forced into habits of regular industry, they might turn the whole country into a garden, and export cotton to China. He entertained no hopes, however, of such a change. I remarked that it might gradually be brought about by the influence of religion on their minds and moral conduct, which he did not appear to understand; nor was he disposed to depart from the prejudices of his associates against the Missionaries, to whose exertions in the work of civilizing these people he was evidently opposed. As a trader and farmer his industry, sobriety, and good management, were highly meritorious, and it would be well for the country if there were more such settleis in it; but in other respects, his mind soared very little, if at all, above his Indian neighbors. I attended Divine Sunday 28th. service, and heard a very good discourse delivered"!))- Mr. Bingham. Not many of the white residents were present, and but few natives. Kaahumanu, one of the chieftainesses, and a sister of Coxe, who had distinguished herself sometime before in burning the few remaining idols and destroying every vestige of idolatry at Owhyhee, was specially invited, and had promised to attend. A sudden whim, however, seized her to go to Whyteete; and there she spent the day bathing, and playing in the surf with a host of equally frolicsome companions. — >;: * * * Monday, 29th. —Upon visiting the King to-day the house really presented a novel and interesting sight. At least thirty natives of both sexes were present, most of them, the King and his Queens among the rest, engaged in learning to read and write. * * Mrs. Bingham's school, containing upwards of fifty pupils, is already far enough advanced to give a satisfactory assurance of ultimate success. The young Prince, Kau-ke-oule, heir and nephew to the King, about 12 years old, is one of the most promising scholars; and the importance of giving him such an educationas may render his government beneficial to the whole community hereafter, is very sensibly felt by his instructors. * * * August 10.—On the afternoon of this day, having taken in all our freight of sandal-wood and made every preliminary arrangement, we finally left Woahoo and the Sandwich Islands. It was jpolicy, perhaps after all, which led Tama hama-hah to encourage the priests and their religion. Their assistance helped to strengthen his power, and the abject fear thereby created in the minds of the people was constantly turned by him to their mutual advantage. Arbitrary measures, on the ground of religion on the one hand, and slavish, reverential obedience on the other, were thus rendered habitual to both parties, and no one dared to resist the united authority of church and state, enforced by a King of acknowledged courage and abilities. The last dying words of Tama-hamahah to his son, enjoined upon him the protection of foreigners, and the cultivation of a friendly intercourse with all nations. He pointed out their great superiority in the arts both of war and peace, the riches and consequent advantages which an extended commerce with them would" confer, and the opposite evils which were likely to follow disagreements with such powerful ad- versaries. This arbitrary system is a sad hindrance to the prosperity of the tenant; for if he be disposed to be industrious, and bring his land into good cultivation, or raise a good breed of live stock, and becomes rich in possessions, the Chief is soon informed of it, and the property is seized for his use, while the farmer loses the fruit of all his labors. * * Murders and robberies accompanied by violence are absolutely unknown. The word of a chief in the Sand*wich* Islands may be relied on, and their minds have, from some cause, acquired an elevation or conscious sense of superiority. This is discoverable at first sight in their gait and manner; and in stature they are, with few exceptions, much taller than the common people, and consequently much respected by them. * * 1 have been informed that during the last eighteen months from 35,000 to 40,000 peculs of sandal-wood have been sent to Canton, which at the rate of ten dollars per pecul, the usual price, brings into the hands of the King and trading chiefs a clear receipt of 350,000 or 400,000 dollars, paid in goods bearing that nominal value. * How far the use of ava, which formerly prevailed but is now in a great measure discontinued, might have been attended with still worse consequences (than the use of gin) is an inquiry that cannot easily be answered. • ISeptmbr, 1889. Hon. H. P. Baldwin is about to purchase an organ for the Makawao church. The Tramcars are becoming a great convenience, and will soon seem an indispensable necessity, like the Telephone. The Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Dwinell returned home per Zealandia on the 34th. They had greatly endeared themselves to our church people. We have been mentally and spiritually enriched in a high degree by Dr. Dwinell's ministrations, both in the pulpit, and in the prayer-meeting. The Inter-island Telegraph Cable is in progress. The section across Molo- kai channel is in working order. A slight hindrance has occurred in laying the Oahu channel section, of fort}' miles. We may expect to "be speedily in free communication with our friends all over the windward islands. Oahu Railroad is preparing to give us all rides very soon. Sleepers and rails are piling up at the terminus; a strong force of graders are closing the gaps between this and Kalihi, where a fine bridge is in place. Moanalua bridge is building. Thence to Aiea, nine miles, the track is mostly graded. The tremendous growth and expansion of the Pacific States and British Columbia points to an early date for the laying of Pacific cables via Honolulu, and to the establishment of at least weekly steamship lines. I-A-erything is booming over there. Honolulu must soon be "in the swim." In fact, we are already feeling the electric impulses. Our venerable friend Mr. E. Bailey favors us with a letter from Tacoma, W. T., en route for Alaska. "This new, crisp, and lively town which has set itself down on the steep bank of the straits which commence here and extend along up the coast for a thousand miles or more." What a future dimly reveals itself for that long sea-channel that reaches to where the northern ice first touches the Pacific. We took our folks, babies and all, to the top of Punch Bowl on the 23rdThe road was rather heavy, not being rolled, but otherwise mostly in good order. We drove down in less than fifteen minutes, and with no less sense of security than on Nuuanu Avenue. We congratulate the residents of this city, and all visitors, on so delightful an addition to our enjoyments and sources of attraction, as this facile means of access to one of the noblest of panoramas. The ever-changing and enlarging views on the ascent are very fascinating. One of the sweetest things is the sudden vision over the splendid Pauoa greenery as you come up on the inland outlook. -Who has got a fine fancy name for that delicious natural balcony? �Volume 47, No. 9.1 In view of the active progress and growth of all material and mental civilization around us and among us, nothing could be more fatuous and idiotic than for a set of discontented natives and half-whites to attempt to overturn our improved Government, and to ievert to old heathen, despotic ways of administration, No winder that the King could not see his way to join in such a movement. With all its iniquity, it partook of childishness. To our minds, no great severity in called for in dealing with the actors in this foolish emeute. Some penalty is called for, but w; are in favor of great leniency, especially to the subordinates. Indeed, the leader:; themselves were like a set of foolish cattle dashing against the locomotive of modern progress. They got badly smashed up. For the rest of their punishment let them oft mercifully, as the United States did the rebels in 1865. It should be borne in mind, and un doubtedly is borne in mind by our authorities, that this blind emeute was largely stimulated by a certain sentiment which, if wisely directed, is most honorable and praiseworthy- the sentiment of Nationality. The Hawaiian loves his country and his race, and has a reasonable pride in it. He cannot be blamed if it deeply pains him to see the power, once in the hands of native chiefs. largely passed over into the abler hands of white men. Although this is inevitable, and for the best interests of all parties, it is nevertheless somewhat grievous to the Hawaiian. Many of them, especially o( the half-whites, necessarily do take this deeply and genuinely to heart. For this reason, it has been the policy of the government always to favor men of the native race, where at all competent, in the distribution of official positions. We think that these feelings should be especially considered, in estimating the guilt of the insurrectionists, and in dealing with them. We do not regard them as having acted from a mere desire for pt wcr and pelf, but also from a strong though not a just sense that the natives had the right to hold the controlling power. It does not seem wise, therefore, to ignore this "national" feeling as an element in determining their guilt. The sympathisers and actors in this unhappy affair need to be educated rather than punished, and their crushing defeat is an education. 75 THE FRIEND. We ask especial attention to the closparagraph of Mr. Beckwith's dis- ing use on the insurrection, as given on ninth page. Now is the time that all good men should be incited to do iheii utmost in behalf of the Hawaii,ti. people—to uplift them, to enlighten them, to st. y the progress of their decimation, to make them sharers to the full in all our prosperity. If any have felt a momentary resentment because the sympathizers in the late insurrection are chiefly Hawaiians, let all such feeling be put away. Let a spirit of cordial regard prevail, and hearty sympathy with these kind and true-hearted people. How much our civilization and prosperity owe to Hawaiians for their free and cordial co-operation with all true and friendly foreigners. And we need their help now. We need all the aid and accordant action that can be had, from the native people. Let us bestir ourselves, in all active and friendly exertion in their behalf. We never cm Gorget or be insensible to the long and affectionate attachment of the Hawaiian people. May nothing be allowed to alienate it. ci OUI Our venerated father in the Church, Rev. Dr.* James R. Boyd, has been called to a brief separation from the.beloved paitner of his life. Dr. and Mrs. Boyd are affectionately remembered by their many friends in Honolulu. Our sympathetic regard is extended to Mrs. A. F. Judd, to whom comes this added bereavement after the death ofher sister, Mrs. Stuart Dodge. Mrs. W. W. Hall hastily embarked on the Zealandia on the 21th, in order to reach her son Horace, who had been dangerously ill at Minneapolis with pneumonia. At last accounts, he was better, and will probably return with Mrs. Hal! to Honolulu. In experiments by Drs. Mairet and Cumbermale, a clog was coupled with a drunken partner. Of six pups born three only were living, and of these all wen. dull and stupid. One of them, when grow n up, was in turn coupled with a healthy partner. Of the three grandchildren then born, one had congenital disease of the spinal cord, one a deficiency of the heart and the circulatory apparatus, and the third was an instance of generally arrested development. The results among people are found to be similar. Beware of marrying a habitual drinker, orthe son of a drunkard. High—Churchism Disparages God. Catholicism is but colossal individual- ism. God's grace is too rich to be con- fined to any one channel, too boundless to be bound to councils or coteries or oiders of men, infirm and fallible like all their kind. It is a position capable of the clearest historical proof to"affirm that the higher the theory of the Church the meaner the conception of God, or that the grow ih of High Church doctrine is always coincident with the decay of the highest theistic belief. An absolute or infallible church means a limited God, a God whose working men condition, whose grace they regulate and distribute. The more worthily churches think of Ciod, the more will the}' feel the fallibility of all their popes and pastors. The more infinitely good and gracious He seems, the less will they feel able to claim to be his sole and adequate representatives. The vessel magnified is the M. Fairbatrn. treasure Apart from all disputed points of no one practically doubts that our I ord lived, and that he died on the criticism, Cross, in the most intense sense of filial relation to his Father in heaven, and that he bore testimony to that Fathers providence, love, and grace towards mankind. The Lord's Prayer affords sufficient evidence upon- these points. If the Sermon upon the Mount alone be added, the whole unseen world, of which the Agnostic refuses to know anything, stands unveiled before us. There you see revealed the Divine Father and Creator of all things, in personal relation to his creatures, hearing their prayers, witnessing their actions, earing for them and rewarding them. There you hear of a future judgment administered by Christ himself, and of a heaven to be hereafter revealed, in which those who live as the children of that Father, and who sutler in the cause and for the sake of Christ himself, will be abundantly rewarded. If Jesus Christ preached that sermon, made those promises, and taught that prayer, then anyone who says that we know nothing of God, or of a future life, or of an unseen world, says that he does not believe Jesus Christ.

I This page is devoted to the ir.t--rests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Hoard is responsible for its contents. Rev. O. P. Emerson, 77 THE FRIEND. - Editor, From the Chinese Recorder of July, we learn that Dr. Gulick had been very low indeed at Kumamoto. At last accounts he and Mrs. Gulick were staying in Oakland, Cal., with Mrs. Sturges, their old associate in pioneer work at Ponape. It is understood to be not wholly unlikely that they will revisit the Islands. A warm welcome would meet our former Secretary after twenty-three years absence from his native land, spent in arduous labors in Italy, Japan and China. students to get food. Class work, if not at first altogether prevented, was much broken into, and at last inevitably relinquished. The appeal made by Mr. Kobinson, based on statements culled from private letters, although a great surprise to all the 1.. M.'s missionaries, was none the less most opportune, and, in enabling us to carry on our higher education work, most useful. The results of that appeal, consisting of 15 tons cwt. rice, 3 tons sugar, 1 cwt. potatoes, 20 tins (50 pounds eactl) biscuits, 20 tins, (50 pounds each) flour, and a case of provisions have been already received. We are further advised that 40 tins biscuits, and 5 cwt. rice are now on their way here in the Society's ship Harrier. Hon. C. R. Bishop, previous to his return, remitted a donation of $1,(10(1 to Dr. Hyde to be applied towards the proposed new buildings of the North Pacific Mission Institute. This brings the sum in hand nearly up to the amount ab- solutely necessary for the purpose. But very much more is needed to put the Institute in comfortable shape.

There ore no difiiculties or obstacles compared to those within the Church itself; and these are a want of spirituality, of consecration, of a sense ofresponsibility and of devotion to the great work of soul-saving. The great need now, as it was when our Lord went up from Olivet, is a Pentecostal baptism. The sails are set, but the breeze which now flaps them so idly needs to freshen into a gale. The machinery is all ready, but it waits for the fire which shall make every band and wheel throb with life. Only the picket line of the Lord's countless hosts are on duty.

O Breath, that we may have life, and that we may have it more abundantly! H.N. Hamum, D.D. By a number of straws twisted together, elephants can be bound. The Bible is a cheerful book. Those who wrote it, were for the most part, cheerful men. God endures us when we offened him; let us endure him when he tries us; endurance is one of the names of love. There is no liberty to men whose passions are stronger than their religious feelings; there is no liberty to men in whom ignorance predominates over knowledge; there is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves. God has special care of the aged. When the grasshopper is a burden, and the windows are darkened, he opens their way to other worlds. If they have grown old in religion, he sends his angels to await their translation. It is good to join with the angels in ministries of kindness. Now the sowing and the weeping, Working hard and waiting long; Afterward the golden reaping. Harvest-home and grateful song. Now the pruning, sharp, unsparing— .Scattered blossom, bleeding short; Afterward the plenteous bearing Of the Master's pleasant fruit. Now the long and toilsome duty, Stone by stone to carve and bring; Afterward the perfect beauty Of the palace of the King. Do not be discouraged at the duties that seem so great before you. They may seem great a little way off, but, somehow, they always diminish or vanish altogether as we come near them. Some one has said duties and difficulties are like the nightmare—as soon as you stir they vanish.

We all understand the kind of thing which is meant by people who talk of Muscular Christianity. It is certainly a noble and excellent thing to make people discern that .1 good Christian need not be a muff (pardon the sbmg term: there is no other that would bear out my meaning). It is a fine thing to make it plain that manliness and dash may co exist with pure moralit] and sincere piety. It is a fine thing to make young fellows comprehend that there is nothing line and manly in being bad, and nothing unmanly in being good. It is a splendid combination, pluck and daring in their highest degree with an unaffected regard. In religion and religious duties; in ahorl muscularity with Christianity. But there are folks whose admiration of the musculrr is very great; but whose regard for the Christianity is very small. They are captivated by the dash and glitter of physical pluck: they are quite content to accept it without any Christianity, and even without the most ordinary morality and decency. They appear, indeed, to think that the grandeur of the character is increased by the combination of thorough blackguardism with high physical qualifications; their gospel, in short, may be said to be that of unchristian muscuI confess that larity. I cannot find words strong enough to express my contempt and abhorrence for the theory of life and character which is assumed by the writers who describe such blackguards, and by the fools who admire them. And though very far from saying or thinking that the kind of human being who has been described, is no worse than disagreeable, I assert with entire confidence that to ail right thinking men, he is more disagreeable than almost any other kind of human being. And Ido not know any .single lesson you could instill into a youthful mind which would be so mischievous, as the lesson that the muscular blackguard-should be regarded with any other feeling than that of pure loathing and disgust. A man consists of bod) and soul, and both would be in ideal perfection if the soul were decidedly Christian and the body decidedly muscular.—Every Day serving on committees.

The Insurrection. British Progress. "I Will Wash." From a discourse preached by Rev. E. G. Beckwith, 1). I)., in Central Union Church. August 23d In Mr. Gladstone's icview of Knland's recent progress, it is asserted that for one child born to conditions of crime to-day there were ten, and perhaps twenty, lift) years back; slavery has been abolished: poor law abuses swept away: a disgraceful criminal code reformed: mine and factory scandals greatly reduced; good schools have been placed within reach of the entire people; savings banks brought to the doors ol'tin poor; information has been diffused; grievous inequalities in taxation removed; the condition of the working population improved fifty per cent.: vast and various injustice tv nonconl'oi ousts swept from the statute-book; shameful disabilities in regard to women obliterated; many unrighteous privileges of few made the right of all; the interests of 250,000,000 of Hindus more fullyregarded; frightful injustice to Ireland diminished, though not yet removed: crime, brutal amusements greatly reduced, and the efficiency of christian and other benevolent work greatly augmented; so that the Englishman most competent to judge is of the opinion that men who have lived sixty years and are living now "have lived into a gentler time: that the public conscience has grown more tender, as indeed was very needful: and that in matters of practice, at sight of evils formerly regarded with indifference or even connivance, it now not only winces but rebels, that upon the whole the race has been reaping, not scattering; earning and not wasting. In the last fifty years the Knglish mind has been greatly liberalized and humanized. Macaulay has led the Knglish people to re-read their history, and revise the old Tory verdicts on great men and great epochs. Darwin and Huxley have given the theology ot the nation and of the age some facts and theories which have led to new and better statements of truth. Thomas Arnold and his pupils have given a higher tone to Knglish education. '1 hackeray has exposed the follies of high life and punctured many a wicked pretension. George Elliot has shown the seriousness of human existence, and portrayed, with unrivalled artistic power, the working of the all pervading moral law. Charles Dickens, by his broad and genial humanity, and his hatred of all cruelties and shams, largely contributed to the amelioration of humau sorrows and the hi caking down of the walls of unchristian feeling. Cobden and Bright raised the artisan class to a position both of personal comfort and political power never before reached. Gladstone has led the progressive elements of England to a score of victories, and made class rule a future impossibility. It is significant that the time of this moral advancement has been the time when the churches have added to their numbers as never before in the history of Christianity.— J. H. Barrows, D. D. The editors continue to poke fun at the performances of the modern quar tette choirs. This piece, which has been floating around among our exchanges for some time, is a sample: 'Off started the nimble soprano with the very laudable though startling announcement, ■! will wash.' Straightway the alto, not to be undone, declared she would wash. And the tenor, finding it to be the thing, warbled forth he would wash. Then the deep-chested basso, as though calling up all his fortitude for the plunge, bellowed forth the stern resolve that he would wash. Next a short interlude on the organ strongly suggestive of escaping Steam, or splash of the waves, after which the choir individually and collectively asserted the firm, unshaken resolve that they would wash. At last they solved the problem, stating that they proposed to 'wash their hands in innocency, so will the altar of the Lord be compassed.'" Michigan Advocate. : Our happy city has had a day of terror. Our peaceful streets have heard just a little of the sound of battle. Our quiet citizen's have had an hour's dread of mutiny and massacre. Our defenceless homes have had a wear. night of watching in fear of the torch and of pillage. And all from the wrath of a handfull of plotting and perjured men, rising up in their rage against the right for the overthrow of law and order. For that was what they wanted, the oh! regime of spoils and corruption back again. They had lost their clutch upon the nation's revenues by the new order of things, just as Sennacherib lost his extorted tribute when Judah came back to decency and duty. And it angered them. They wanted no reform. It was The) not in the line ol their plans. had no sympathy with the new order of things.

None of these things. The)- just wanted spoils, and place, and power. And because the) had lost them, the) plotted insurrection. -i- * * Then finally, and this 1 believe to be the chief providential significance ol it this outbreak is God's voice to us, summoning us to our duty to this neglected people. We have lifted them up a little way into the light of Christian civilization, and then have left them to grope their way alone. And the onlymarvel is that they have not groped more blindly, as they will, if. the) are not taken more closely into our Christian sympathy, and taught more persistently the things that make for peace and prosperity. Its our only safety, the regeneration of Hawaii nei. And so the echo ol that day ot terror seems to me God's summons to us to put ourselves into the closest possible sympathy with this dear people; to pour out our prayers for them; to consecrate our activities to them; to devote our wealth to their enlightenment, to spare no love, no time, no money, no men, that may be needed, for the speediest, and completest evengelixatiori of all this Hawaiian people. Let us listen to it so, and in a little, by the new love that will bind them and us together, and by the better manhood into which they will have come, and the perpetual peace we shall have in all our borders, we shall understand right well how God makes the wrath of man to praise him.

Human companions are better than divine companions carved out of the fog. To worship such gods is as impossible as to warm one's self by the Aurora Horealis. of to day. Where the open Bible has not gone, there to-day is darkness illimitable. Where that Bible has gone, partly open and partly closed, there is a dawning of the day. And where it is an open Bible and a free page and a well read one, there is the illumination of civilization. We hear much praise of the illumination of the nineteenth century. Is there no nineteenth century in China? Is there no nineteenth century in Turkey? In India? In Siberia? In Russia? Hang the map of the world there before you, and look at it. All China dark; all India dark; all Africa black with darkness; gray lines �on Russia, where there is a half open Bible; gray lines on Italy and Spain, where there is a half open Bible; and the tints growing lighter and lighter as the pages of the Bible become more open, until at last you reach England arid America, where the hands hold aloft the open Bible; and there, and there only, is there the light of our boasted nineteenth century —the light that streams, not from the book, not from the lid or cover or printed page or any such thing, but the light that streams from the living Christ.—Lyman Abbott. The Civil War could never have been fought to its successful issue but for the deep and divine emotions which found expression in such a hymn as the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." The nation that had no religion could never have sung that hymn; and the nation that could not sing that hymn could never have endured Vicksburg and Antietam and Gettysburg and the Wilderness. Kxpediency would never have had force enough to set the enslaved free. It will not furnish force enough to close the liquor shops, or to promote the equalization of wealth;-or to harmonize the strained relations between employer and employed; or to thwart the scheming politician, break the power of the machine, purify our elections and banish bribery and corruption from the polls, or to establish a just and merciful prison system—or in a word, to do any one of the things which this nation must do, not only to fulfil its true function in the world's history, but even to preserve its National life. Secularism never carried a nation through any great crisis or crowned any nation with the crown of a great achievement; and it is safe to prophesy that it never will.— Christian Union. We have previously referred to some of the replies to Canon Taylor, but the following, taken from the London Record, is decidedly the most pungent of any we remember, to have seen: Sir: Canon Tavlor, in the Fortnightly Revieie, judges, by comparison of expenditure with results, mission eliort to have failed. He counts non-Christian people at i1'20,000,000, and estimates the annual outlay for their conversion at £•..',000,000; that is £1 for each 400, or rather more than an annual half-penny a head. Yet he says, "Clearly there is no lack of men or means." friends abroad may justly take umbrage that their souls are estimated by him in value at I-457 of the value of the folk of Settrington! I omit, to preserve to simplicity of the compailson. such other factors of the equations as the enormous difficulty of the task of christianizing people out of heathenism contrasted with keeping Christian a parish christianized so many centuries ago. It is, indeed, humiliating to enter into such statistical contention with the clergyman in question. But he has appealed to figures and statistics; to figures and statistics he must go—Sun sihi hnne glaiio fu/rulo. GSOMI F.nsor. 80 THE FRIEND. WOODLAWN DAIRY fe STOCK COMPANY, MILK, CREAM, BUTTER.
