No doubt many Christian people have supposed that the Hawaiians having been Christianized, had entirely put away the worship of idols and heathen gods. Any serious reflection would show them that this could not possibly be the case. In the nature of things it would be impossible that the ancient religious belief and practices of any people could be extirpated at once. A belief in the powers of the aumakuas, unihipilis, and the various gods and demi gods of heathenism is inwrought into the mental constitution of the Hawaiian. He inherits an aptitude for such a belief, a deadly proclivity to it, from uncounted generations of heathen ancestors. Besides this hereditary proclivity, he absorbs the firm belief in these things from the people around him, from his earliest infancy. Superstition is propagated through the ordinary conversation of the household, whose thoughts run on such things, and the child imbibes it into a disposition naturally welcoming it. In view of these conditions, it is not strange that most Hawaiians continue to be more or less under the dominion of superstitious fears. It is not strange that the great majority of them, as alleged by Mr. Bicknell and others who know them intimately, turn to these evil powers in time of sickness, and in the hour 01 death, when the mind is feeble and the soul faint, instead of seeking unto the living God and Savior. It is indeed a wonderful triumph of of idolatrous fears, as we relieve and build him up. It looks as if personally know to be the fact in very now we were at least getting at an inmany instances.

He was still more specific when he said, "How hard it is for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God"! It is not necessarily an evil to become rich, as many of our old friends have done and are doing. It entails hea-vy burdens and responsibilities, and great anxieties; but it may be so handled as to be a source of great and elevated satisfactions. Riches become a deadly evil, when one trusts in them, as we fear most rich men do. How few wealthy men are there among us who would not count it one of the greatest of disasters to become poor in this world's goods. What a minority of them, who do not look down upon those not rich in worldly estate, however richly endowed otherwise. Such men manifestly trust in their riches. Another token of trusting in riches is in clinging to them, and making it a first object to save and amass, instead of using them for the public benefit, and especially for the kingdom of Christ. It is a sad and pitiable spectacle to see a man to whom God has given a blessed opportunity and ability to set forward by his money good work of all kinds for the help and elevation of his fellow-men, thinking of little else than how to keep his money and increase it and enrich his heirs, who are more likely to be ruined by wealth than benefited. We think no man can feel so horribly poor as a millionaire when he wakes up in eternity with no treasure invested in heaven. His treasure was all here, and he has lost every cent. He serit nothing on ahead. We are comforted to know that some of our rich men, dear aged Father Bond among them, are above worshipping their money, and are putting it "where it will do the most good." Letter from Rev. A. H. Smith. Piang, Chia Chuang, Shantung, 1 China, July 1, 1889. J Dear Mr. Bishop: We are glad to hear that the project so long talked about, to have a new missionary force put into the Hawaiian Islands, has really come at last to some practical head, in spite of all the talk about it! We pray that much wisdom may be given to you all to know what things not to do, as well as what need to be done. The regular visits of the Friend have given us a good deal of welcome information about the island matters, in which I think we are not likely to lose our interest as long as we live.

We found about fifteen pawhat fearful extend unbelief had grown, tients at the Mission house here in a ■undermining church and state and the large airy ward, kept with great neatfoundations of society. This resulted ness. Mr. Ando has done a noble work in united efforts centering in Berlin, in organizing this and other hospitals where numerous societies sprang up in connection, to meet the want of positive religion in a city with very few churches for a population of one and a half millions, so that 70,000 to 135,000 souls belong to one parish. This movement has been much intensified in the last five years. Inconsequence of the new life, Missionary spirit has come to many circles formerly reluctant to appreciate the importance of foreign missions. The old societies of Basel, Barmen, Leipzig, Hermansberg, Bremen being all built on a thoroughly international basis—as of course the Gospel is always international—did not include the obligation, that wherever the German flag was unfurled, evangelical Christianity should be preached and taught by word and example to the natives, or all who chose to reside within the boundaries of the new evangelical empire. A colonial mission —though not in name, but in fact— was inaugurated by the German East African Missionary Society. There are at Berlin already two well known Missionary Societies, viz., the Berlin Society for Preaching the Gospel to the Heathen, which works in South Africa and China, and the Gossner Missionary Society, which works among the Kolks in India. It seemeed questionable whether the religious life of the German capital could bear a third or even a fourth society, when Kaiser Wilhelm'l Land, Bismark Archipelago, and Marshall Islands, after German East Africa, came into consideration. But as the German Oriental Seminary increases facilities for educating young theologians in the missionary service by teaching them the heathen languages of their fields at home, as the deaconesses of St. Lazarus were before, sending their sisters, some of the highest nobility, to their hospitals at Zanzibar and Dares Salam, there would be hardly any question about the Lord's will, and no hesitation in doing "it. As the evangelization of heathen countries largely depends on the Christian character of the white population, proper care shall be taken to preach to German settlers and organize them into congregations, so that in all parts of the globe foreign and domestic missions as twin sisters may be closely allied and work together.

[Septmbr, 1889. that it is essential to the future of our dared not encounter the displeasure of Chinese Immigration. Hawaiian civilization that any consider- the great body of their supporters. It is 'It is very difficult if not impossible high time that these pastors were effect- matter, to discuss the Chinese question, without giving serious displeasure to some of the different parties whose interests are concerned, whether selfish or benevolent. ■ On one side are the work- classes, especially the skilled workers, whose livelihood is severely encroached upon by a people who unite a great aptitude for skilled labor with an unequalled capacity for parsimonious living, and subsistence at a minimum ol expense. On an opposite side is the interest of the planter and capitalist, who find a large profit in the abundant importation of Chinese labor. There are again the earnest Christian sympathies of those who are laboring to enlighten the Chinese with the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and who have learned to recognize and love the noble Christian manhood of many of His Chinese ing disciples. In tho presence of an active renewal of agitation upon the subject of restrictions upon the Chinese, we do not feel justified in remaining altogether silent, no matter whom we are likely to displease. It is a subject presenting many grave difficulties even to those who best understand it. People may well be pardoned for making serious errors respecting it. We earnestly deprecate acrimonious controversy, and bitter denunciation of opposing views. Yet we know that it is very hard for the working man not to be angry who sees his livelihood taken away by resistless Chinese competition, and his family straitened and distressed, because they cannot possibly live in comfort and decency upon earnings upon which Chinamen thrive and prosper. It is also very trying to those who long and labor for the social progress of the community in these islands to see civilized men of Christian training and ideas driven out of the country by the overcrowding competition of a pagan race who cannot assist in maintaining good government or civilized progress. We desire not to be behind .my one here in insisting upon a sacred regard to the personal and property rights of the Chinese already in the country. We would have all possible aid given by the government and by private benefactions for the moral and spiritual elevation of these interesting and very capable people. But we cannot help seeing able addition of pagan and unmarried Chinese males by farther immigration should be effectually prevented. This is urgently demanded in behalf of the social life of the natives. It is essential to the material prosperity of our white population, and of the natives also. It is for the material benefit of the Chinese now here, that they suffer from no further competition from China. And it is for the interest of Christian work among the Chinese, that we be not flooded by pagan immigration. Pastor's Aid Societies. The Secretary of the Hawaiian Board gives some interesting information as to the progress of these organizations. It is very cheering- it contains an element of great hope for the active progress of good Christian work in our feeble native We have been laboring, parishes. with as yet ill success and unfulfilled hopes, for the obtaining of a few able recruits for the emptied ranks of our old missionary army. As yet only one has come to help. It would appear, however, that we have not hitherto used all the means ready to our hands. It seems that a very moderate amount of money, judiciously employed to invigorate and stimulate the native churches in the support of their pastors, will be likely to impart a spirit of confidence and energy to these pastors, and make them far more efficient leaders of the people in their spiritual needs. The raising and proper application of even these moderate sums for pastor's aid, is necessitating a great deal of hard and self-denying work on the part of individual Christians who have undertaken it. We rejoice to know how earnestly some of them are doing it, and how much their own souls have been blessed by this diligent missionary effort, and close contact with the native Christians and their pastors. The two worst moral plagues infesting the native churches are social immorality and idolatrous practices. It is our belief that in most of the churches, the pastor is quite impotent to openly and actively make war upon these evils, however he may hate them. Why so ? Because he is entirely dependent for support upon the people who practice them. If he can feel that there is other resource for his support, and that a Pastor's Aid Society will not permit him to suffer for fidelity to the Lord's work, he will be greatly emboldened. It occurred lately on Maui that the Island Association voted down a strong resolution condemning supestitious practices. This was not because the pastors were not heartily opposed to those practices; it was because they ually placed in a position where they can wage vigorous war upon idolatry, and can work to enforce church discipline in the frequent cases of open concubinage in their churches. We hope to hear very soon that the Maui Organization is actively at work. Rev. H. E. Schneider, Ph. D., is now in Honolulu, on his way to Jaluit, in the Marshall Is. Dr. Schneider is pastor of the Eriedenshalle Chapel in Berlin, and has been devotedly and efficiently engaged in mission work in that city. He has also travelled in evangelistic work among Germans in the United States. It is his present object to inquire into the spiritual needs and opportunities of the German trading stations in the Marshall Is. He purposes also tt»-visit the German stations in New Guinea upon a similar errand. While detained here, Dr. S. is improving the opportunity by holding religious services in German in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, in the call to attend which, the German Consul, Mr. Glade has actWe congratulate ively co-operated. our German fellow-citizens on this happy addition to their spiritual advantages. We especially hope that Dr. Schneider's visit to Jaluit may be of great service in securing a removal of official antagonism to missionary work in the Marshall and Gilbert archipelagoes.

This dear and sweet-natured youth was greatly beloved in his church as one of her most pious and promising children. His teacher, Pres. Merritt, testifies warmly to his promise as a student, and how, "as a Christian boy, he was respected and loved by schoolmates and teachers alike." He had graduated at Punahou in 1888, had taken another year .of preparatory study and of music at Oberlin, and had been admitted to the Freshman class in Oberlin College. A very peculiar interest attaches to his case in the fact that, having gone to Oberlin with business life in view, and having chosen a course in civil engineering, Horace announced to his father in October, 1888, that "I have felt that God was calling me to go and work in his vineyard, in the uncultivated parts, and have prayed that he would show me his will in the matter; at length, after much prayer and wrestling with tiod, I feel that I have a personal call from him to be a missionary, to carry the precious Truth to perishing souls." This plan met with cordial approval at home, and he pursued classical studies with the sacred ministry in view. God, whose thoughts are higher than ours, has removed him from earth, and left broken-hearted parents, whom He will comfort and heal. Those whose children have died far away and with imperfect attendance can feel the mitigation of grief it is to these honored friends that their dear son was in the home of his grandparents, Gen. and Mrs. Van Cleve, of Minneapolis, where, in his severe attack of pneumonia, he received the most skillful and tender treatment, and most motherly and saintlyministering to the spirit as well as the body. He was apparently well advanced in recovery when death came sudden and unexpected from a clot in the heart. Our deepest sympathies attend the mother who had gone in hope to bring home her boy, only to meet the news of his death in San Francisco. Horace was a manly youth, as shown by his joining the Honolulu Rifles at the age of sixteen. He was but eighteen at the time of his death. We had all hoped much from his future course. May the Lord of the vineyard move many young heroic hearts to fill the vacant place in the ranks of his soldiers. Capt. Thos. H. Hobron. We are moved to especial notice of this decease not only as of an esteemed and honored friend, but as of a fellowcitizen of great worth and ability. Our acquaintance with Capt. Hobron began in 1853, when he was master of the clipper schooner Maria, which ran to Lahaina, and was about the first of the swift and comfortable packets of our roa«tincr iicci. fl#»*>t H» nc cn,.n soon hur'inii. uecame fVie me 83 THE FRIEND. proprietor of other vessels, engaged sucThe prosp .tive early development to cessfully in sugar-planting, and ulti- tin \.im i l.imiuliuli tract of choice land mately built the steamer Kiln uea Hon and would alone seem to confirm a brilliant the Kahului Railroad. Capt. Hobron was, like many sailors, somewhat versatile, but invariably successful in his enterprises. This was through sound foresight and thorough good work in all his business. He was of high honor and integrity, public-spirited, liberal in giving, and kind in personal ministrations. Kindly, hearty, sensible, shrewd, intelligent, Capt, Hobron was esteemed and honored by all, and his presence was a welcome one everywhere, although failing health of late years enforced great retirement. Honolulu can boast of a large circle of enterprising, honorable and generous men, yet can ill afford to part with one like Capt. Hobron. The Ewa Water Supply. We have received a copy of the admirable Report made by Messrs J. I). Schuyler and G. 1". Allardt upon the Water Supply for Irrigation on the Honoufiuli and Kahuku Ranchos, on Oahu. Mr. 15. F, Dillingham the projector of the Oahu Railroad, employed these eminent civil engineers to examine and report upon the aforesaid water supply. They found a measured flow of unused water running to waste into the Ewa lochs in large streams amounting to 170.11 cubic feet per second. An immense amount besides in small springs and streams could not be measured. This water nearly all emerges at or near the sea level, and would have to be pumped up in order to be used. This measured flow is sufficient to irrigate 7,000 acres of sugar-cane, and "we have no doubt that the supply can be increased to provide for 10,000 to 12,00a acres if necessary." Most persons will be amazed at the existence of such large bodies of water running to waste in Ewa. Besides this source of supply, these engineers find flowing artesian wells in the district which indicate the possibility of an equal additional supply from that source. They also find good sites for storage reservoirs which might be expected to irrigate from three to four thousand acres of upland without pumping. They report from 4,000 to 5,000 acres of sugar and rice lands on the Kahuku Rancho, which can be irrigated from artesian wells, with little or no pumping. This report contributes valuable and exact information obtained on Maui, as to the amount of water required by sugar-cane, which is a duty of 00 acres average for each cubic foot per second, or an equivalent of 144 inches of rainfall per annum, yielding an average of 3yj tons of sugar per acre. There is also most valuable informatoin as to cost of pumping and of storage reservoirs. A handsome colored map of the Ewa district accompanies the Report. prospect for the future of the Oahu Railroad. The contract for the new building of the North Pacific Mission Institute was awarded to J. Ouderkirk, whose bid was !?8,:527. Mr. H. W. Mcintosh has been engaged as Supervising Architect. The grading for the foundation is now completed and flaming will begin at once. It is expected to have the building completed in four months. About one thousand dollars more are needed to furnish the sixteen suites of rooms in the new building, to grade the whole lot, and to build a new fence on Punchbowl street. The new term of study begins October 7th. While the building is going up recitations will be held in the Session Room of Kawaiahao Church. Dr. Abel Stevens, writing from Yokohama, Japan says:"I have been inspecting the great Asiatic battle-fields, and I report the general conviction of both foreigners and intelligent natives here that the epoch of a grand social and religious revolution has set in in India, Burmah, China, and Japan—that this old Asiatic heathendom is generally giving way before the continually increasing power of Western thought and Christian civilization."

PORT OF HONOLULU.—SEPTEMBER. 6£ — John , �Volume 47, No. 10.] THE FRIEND. HAWAIIAN BOARB. HONOLULU H. I. This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Board is responsible for its contents. Rev. 0. P. Emerson, - Editor. It is pleasant to note with how little talk the Pastor's Aid Society was formed on Kauai. We simply heard of it as in process of organization, and went and found it an actually achieved fact, and doing its beneficent work as smoothly and easily as if it had been an institution of long standing. The fact is the reasons for its existence were so urgent, and the conditions so favorable, that it could not help coming into being. On the one hand were the suffering, patient native pastors —their manhood in arrears for lack of being duly fortified with adequate material resources; and on the other hand were those who had the wit to perceive their need and appreciate its meaning as affecting the whole people. We think it was a far sighted wisdom, as well as a generous sensitiveness to fair dealing, that took this matter in hand. Not only are our brethren of the native ministry co-workers with us in the interests of Hawaii, and therefore entitled to be sharers with us in the unprecedented material gains of these days; it is even true, if we will but perceive it, that they stand between us and the ills we dread. They are the rank and file of Hawaii's forlorn hope. Let this consecrated band fail us, and we stand flanked by the enemy. In our fight with paganism we do well to enlist the native Christian and his pastor. If we would make headway against the ever uprising power of idolatry we must work through the native ministry. And we must have a strong native ministry. We must see that they go into the fight well equipped, and while there give them good support. There are those who do not look hope- fully on the work which the native ministers are doing, who even fear their power as often harmful. We are told that they are put into positions of trust which they cannot fill; that they have not the stamina for their work; that they soon lose heart, grow inefficent, and break down under the pressure of evil. Let us look at the facts. The young native pastor goes out from his seminary (as does every young minister) unformed in the sturdier qualities of the Christian leader. This scholarship is in need of being rounded out, and he must develop as a man among men with an approved position. He goes forth to his place conscious of his shortcomings, but hoping to work himself up on to the level of a larger manhood. What does he soon find out, and what is likely to be his first grievous surprise ? It is of the poverty of his surroundings and of the insufticency of his support. He gets hungry and his good clothes wear out. He finds that he must turn aside from the kind of life he had fondly, and in his ardor marked out for himself and work for the mere necessaries of life. There is no help for it; he must live the life of a common native. Like Peter, he goes back to his nets, or you will find him with a malo in a taro patch. The man feels his misfortunes. He may very naturally come to think that he is in a false position, and that he is being wronged. It looks as if his rich white brethren had forgotten him, as if they acknowledged no responsibility toward him; and so there comes to be harbored in the native pastor's soul a bitterness which might never have been there, but for the lack of a little timely help.

There was a union of services held on the Sabbath day, both morning and evening, between the two congregations (the English and the native), at Haili church. The installation of Key. Stephen L. Desha occurred in the morning, and was a very impressive service, each minister, natives and white men having some part. This made thirteen parts in the entire morning service. Kach participant was seated on the platform. A very stimulating gospel temperance service was held in the evening. Mr. Desha takes his pastorate amid favoring circumstances. He has gathered again the long dispersed and thinned congregation, and has a full bouse. He has the sympathy and substantial support of his white biethren. One of the novelties of the Sabbath School gathering which occurred the fourth day of the session of the Association was the Puna Sabbath School which numbered some sixty, children and adults, and which had come (some of them forty miles) over a fearful rough road to take jjart in Saturday's exhibition.

This page is devoted to the interests ol the Honolulu Young Men's Christian Association, and the Board uf Directors are responsible for its contents. S. D. Fuller, -- - Editor. A Magnificent Gift. Mrs. Corliss, the widow of the late George H. Corliss, of Providence, K. 1., the eminent inventor and manufacturer, together with the son and daughter of Mr. Corliss, have jnst announced their desire and purpose to erect for the Young Men's Christian Association of Newburyport, Mass., a magnificent build ing, to cost thirty-six thousand dollars. Mrs. Corliss is a native of, and still has her summer home in Newburyport. It was the cherished purpose of Mr. Corliss to erect some handsome memorial in her native city as an expression of his deep love and appreciation of his wife. His final decision was in favor of an Association building, as being the most practical and far-reaching in its benefits to the community. The untimely death of the great inventor prevented the carrying out of the plan, but his family have nobly taken it up, and will make it a memorial to him. No doubt the Association will see to it that it expresses also his original purpose. The Association owns a beautiful lot, finely located, and the building will no doubt be the most attractive in New- • buryport." The above city was the scene of our initial work as a General .Secretary, and our not over hopeful mission was to revive an Association that had been twice dead and burned; through the sympathy and co-operation of friends and the blessing of God the work was a sue cess. During these last ten years the Association has stood unshaken as a beacon light and a refuge to young men in that old and honored city. Although at present in the far-away and fairer clime, we remember with pleasure and gratitude the numerous friends we then found; and sincerely rejoice in the prosperity and good fortune of the Association which is soon to have a suitable home of its own.

Young Men's Christian Association laid the cornerstone of their new building on the afternoon of August 31st. A large number of the members and interested friends were present to participate in the joyful ceremony. The New York Association, at the 23d St. branch, was damaged by fire to the extent of $40,000 on Sunday, July 2Hth. Through the coolness of those who saw the danger one hundred and twenty young men, present at a meeting, were enabled to escape without panic or loss of life. This disaster follows very close upon the fire which made the Association at Seattle, W. T.. homeless and the fiood which devasled Ji Imstown. We don't expect babes to lie strong, but when it comes to ten Of fifteen years of Christian culture, we do expect more tii m a reed shaken with the wind. Leaving out all others, a young man tli.it has been a member of the church five year, and never taken active part, ought to be ashamed of himself. So had those who walk ten squares to an entertainment, and then plead being so tired on pi aver meeting night they can't go to service. Yatntaii. Mr. T. K. Cree, Secretary of the Inter national Committee, has gone to Paris to assist in raising $200,000 for a building for the French Association in that city. He takes with him 460,000 given by B member of the New York Association. The President of the French Republic was recently shown the fine display of Association buildings and literature on exhibition at the Exposition, and being informed in regard to our work expressed much interest in it. We talk about the sacred ministry, the sacred desk, and the sacred calling; but we want sacred offices, sacred banks, sacred stores and sacred shops, and every man in them who names the name of Christ to be an ordained minister of God—to do His work, bear His testimony, lift high the light of the devine life, and scatter the salt which saves the world from corruption, to be witnesses for godliness, righteousness and brotherly kindness. Rev. Dr. George F. Pentcost. Topics. Mar. 26:63-66. Exchange Items. — Confirmations of Scripture come in from many sources just when unbelief is most vehement in its assaults on Scripture. The following, from an exAt Babylon, change, is remarkable Col. Kawlinson found the very hunting diary of Nebuchadnezza ! In it here and there are portraits of the old king's dogs, sketched by himself, and underneath is written the king's name. It is wonderful. But the most wonderful of all is, that in the diary he records thaj he had been very ill, and in the delirium of his sickness he thought he had been 'out to graze like the beasts of the field : ! Now read God's Book (Dan. iv. 32, and so on.) It says he did thus go out senseless and beastlike, to eat grass seven times (years). And to think that twenty-five hundred years afterward, as if to sternly rebuke unbelief of the Holy Word, the clay plates excavated from the ruins of the king's ancient capital should confirm this old book of the prophet Daniel. It is the Book of God ! Some Facts Worth Knowing. 1. There is Young Men's Christian Association work in thirty-nine countries,—among others, in Japan, India, China, Ceylon, Turkey in Asia and Turkey in Europe, Syria, Inland Africa, Germany, Switzerland, France, Great Britain, Holland, Belgium, Australia. Canada, the United States, and in the different countries of Scandanavia. 2. At present there are 3,600 persons who have voluntarily signified their desire and intention, if God wills, to go to foreign fields as missionaries. Some of them will do Association work. One hundred and ten of these volnnteers have already sailed for their fields of labor. This volunteer student movement can be traced directly to the influence of the college Young Men's Christian Associations. 3. Within the last two years, ten men, selected by the Young Men's Christian Associations, have gone from this country to teach in the government schools of Japan. When their day's duties in their respective schools are done, they go out to do Christian work, by explaining the Gospel, answering inquiries, etc. The greater part of their work is a.mongyoung men. The necessities of Japan alone may be imagined when it is stated that the people of an entire nation,' having abandoned their idolatry, are saying: "We are not Buddhists; we are not Shintoists; we are nothing." We need 20,000 laborers, home and foreign, before the year 1900. The city of Tokio, Japan, has 80,000 students. The largest University in the world is said to be in that city. A Young Men's Christian Association has been formed there, and a New York man has contributed $25,000 towards the erection of a building for it; $25,000 more are required. It is one result of the Northfield Summer School of 1887. 4. India affords a magnificent field for Young Men's Christian Association work. There are 3,000,000 young men there who speak Engiish. It is, truly, "the opportunity of the ages." No wonder that such a consecrated worker as David McConaughy, Jr., general secretary of the Philadelphia Young Men's Christian Association, is about to go there for Young Men's Christian Association work. In Madras there are 3,000 students, but not a single Christian in the faculty. �THE FRIEND. An Appalling Statement. The presiding Judge of one of the Chicago courts has recently said to an Inter-Ocean interviewer: "You may ransack the pigeon holes all over the city and country, and look over such annual reports as are made up, but they will not tell half the truth. Not only arc the saloons of Chicago responsible for the cost of the police fon c, the fifteen justice courts, the Bridewell, but also for th ! criminal courts, the county jail, a great portion of Joliet, the long murder trials, the coroner's office, the morgue, the poor bouse, the reform school, the madhouse. Go anywhere you please, and you will find almost invariably that whisky is at the I">ot of the evil. The gambling houses of the city, and the bad houses of the cily, are the direct outgrowth of the boon companions of drink. Of all the thousands of prostitutes of Chicago, tin: downfall of almost every one can he traced to drunkenness on the part of their parents or husbands, or drunkenness on their own part, Of all tin: boys in the reform school at Pontiac, and in the various reformatories about the city, ninety-live per cent, are the children of parents who died through drink, or became criminals through the same cause. Generally speaking, these families go to destruction. The boys turn out thieves, and the girls ami their mothers generally resort to the slums. The sand-baggers, murderers and thugs generally of to-day, who arc prosecuted in the police courts and criminal courts, are the sons of men who fell victims to drink. The percentage in this case is fully ninety-five per cent. I have studied this question for years, and have passed upon criminal cases for years, and know whereof I speak. "This saloon," that "saloon," the other saloons, saloons, saloons, "saloon" figure constantly and universally in the anarchist trial. Conspirators met in saloons; dynamite was discussed in saloons; bombs were distributed over saloons; armed revolutionists were drilled above, under, or in the rear of saloons; treason made assignation in saloons, and time and time again witnesses say, "we went to" such and such "a saloon for wine or beer." There is not a country under the sun in which.lurks so much treason, revolution, and murderous treaty, as in the "saloon" of the United States, and notably in all large cities. These saloon pests harbor thieves, thugs, house-breakers, anarchists, robbers and murderers. Nine-tenths of the lawbreakers in America are hatched in saloons, and the admitted fact is palliated by the axiom that saloons are the headquarters for town, city and even national election gerrymandering. The liquor counter is the scaffold on which a halfhundred beautiful, vital American things are assassinated, and on which scores ol imitation, but in undisputed completehorrid public plagues are glorified. ness.

Death came by sin. and sin goeth out No evil action can be well done; hut a good one may be ill clone. The Roman Church is said to have six bushels of St. Peter's teeth. The vial of God's wrath dropa, but the fountain of his mercy runs. In the sorest trials God often makes the sweetest discoveries ot himself. The only way to Bee away from God is to flee into Him.—Phillips Brooks. He who waits to do a great good at once, will seldom do any good at ail. God stops his ears against their prayers who stop their ears against his laws. In creation God shows us his hand, but in redemption God gives us his heart. If you would have God hear you when you pray, vnu must hear him when he speaks. Every man has his chain and clog. Let him not drag it, hut bravely lift and carry it. Habits are to the soul what the veins anil arteries are to the blood, the courses in which it moves. The earnestness and accuracy of our blows is all important; it matters not how far fly the echoes. The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world, next to the might of God. Man)- an ob|cct in life must be attained by flank movements.
