Marshall spoke of his first arrival here, when he saw the Princess and Premier Kinau lying in state, and heard Air. Bingham preach her funeral sermon in the old thatched church. He last saw Mr. Bingham at the funeral of the honored James Hannewell. He spoke of his long association with Gen. S. C. Armstrong, son of Mr. Bingham's successor in the pastorate of Kawaiahao, whose grand work at Hampton for Indians and Negroes, the poet Whittier thought the greatest work now being done in the country. "To lo6k upon this gathering of Hawaiians, the largest 1 have seen since my arrival, makes me feel as if I were renewing my youth. I say again, 'Aloha oukou.' " Mr. Josiah Kua spoke first in Hawaiian, atid then read an address in English, during the progress of which the Tablet was unveiled by Hiram Bingham third, a lad of thirteen. The inscription was interpreted by Mr. Kua to the Hawaiians. It is as follows : A CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL OF HIRAM BINGHAM Born in Bennington, Vt., October 30th, 1789. Died in New Haven, Ct., November 11th, 1809, aged 80 years. This slab is placed here in grateful remembrance of a pioneer missionary by descendants of Hawaiians (aided by his children), among whom he preached Christ for more than twenty years. He preached the first sermon ever delivered in this city, April'2~>th, 1830, from 'Fear not; for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great joy." Here he taught confiding kings, queens, and chiefs, faced dangers, and bore calumny from abroad; aided in reducing the language to writing, translated much of the Bible, composed books, hymns and tunes; here he baptized a thousand converts, planted a church, planned this edifice, and with his loving people, on June Bth, 1839, laid this adjoining corner stone, beneath which was placed a Hawaiian Bible, first published May 10th, 1839. From here, amid loud wailings of hundreds of his flock, he sailed on August 3d, 1840, to revisit his native land; but never returning, was not with them, when, on July 12th, 1842, with joyful acclamation, they dedicated this church. To Jehovah our God forever and ever." " The slab is of marble, about five feet by four, attached to the front wall of the church, immediately makai of the old corner stone. At the close of the exercises, at which His Majesty and the Princess Liliuokalani were interested attendants, the audience were invited to partake of a very bounteous feast which was spread upon the adjacent lawn under the algerobas. About six hundred natives sat down at once at the low tables, and as many more after them. Four bullocks, six hogs, and numberless fish and fowl had been cooked in the huge ground ovens, poi and other comestibles making up rations for two thousand people. So ended a most happy and profitable celebration. Miss E. K. Bingham and Mrs. L. B. Coan had the satisfaction of assisting in this commemoration of their father's labors. Letter from Gilbert Islands. Rev. Z. S. K. Paaluhi, writes from Tapiteuea via Sydney " When the Morning Star reached here November 11, 1888, our stock of provisions had failed in August, and we were buying food of the traders. [The route of the : Star was changed that year, going to the Marshall Islands before going to the GilbertGroup. -Ed.] Ourlettershad been left at Jaluit to be forwarded, and they were not delivered to us until December 21. Then we had to pay $2.50 postage. On our outward passage here the previous year, we stopped at Kusaie, visited and admired her girls' school. We wondered greatly at her ability to converse in three different Micronesian languages, Kusaian, Marshall and Gilberts. We have not received the box from the Lima Kokua, nor the medicines from Dr. Smith. Besides the money spent for the purchase of land for the station, I have been at considerable expense more than was sent me, in building those houses as shown on the plan I have drawn and send to you. I had no compass, but took my bearings from the points of sunrise and sunset. Emma (Mrs. Paaluhi,) came near dying July, 1888, from some stomach trouble, and the pain continued until November. "We went to the south end of the island to visit Kaaia (his missionary associate). Emma and the baby grew better and returned to our station January, 1889. The mission work at this station is making more progress than formerly. Kaaia and I and the natives have passed certain laws to preserve peace and tranquility. They were proclaimed July 10, 1888. Here are some of the penalties for various crimes: For drunkenness, a fine of 2,000 cocoantits, or 5 cocoanut trees cut down: making or for intoxicating liquor, the furnishing liquor; stealing, a piece of land to the owner of the property stolen; for adultery, a piece of land to the wife; for murder, death or 3 pieces of land; for Sabbath breaking, 2,000 cocoanuts; for bloodshed, 2,000 cocoanuts; for lascivious dancing, 1,000; lying, 1,000 nuts, or 3 cocoanut trees; for truancy, 10 nuts. In consequence of these laws, there is peace and order, except for the drink. I have four districts to visit, spending one Sabbath in each district. In Sunday School, the scholars recite Bible lessons. I cannot report many conversions, only a few. "All do not wear clothes. On Sundays, they will have at least one garment. The people fish night and day. But the Holy Spirit giving me that divine power, on which only I can rely, my hope is strong in the final supremacy of the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am teaching in the schools the primer, the Scriptures, Mental and Written arithmetic, writing, geography. Mr. Walkup's school at Kusaie is a same: Novembr, 1889. great blessing for the Gilbert Islands. His pupils are taught English, singing by note, elocution, composition, Bible history and doctrines. I have established a BlueßibbonTemperance League here, which 1 hope God will prosper. Itaaka Niuta and his wife have returned here from Banaba, and Taremon and his wife are now stationed there. Banaba has suffered from famine. Many have died. There are no leaves or fruit on many cocoanut trees. Fish is the only food, and many people are leaving the island. Itaaka is helping Kaaia. In January, 1889, a certain Bekau Kaiboboki, came into the third district of my parish, caught me by the two arms'and said, " I will tie you with a rope, and keep you tied till the Star comes again, and then send you aboard." He was a drinking man, and because he had been fined for drunkenness, threatened me because I had accused him of it before the people of Tapiteuea. I did not make any opposition to this violent assault, only spoke pleasantly to him. But when the South-enders heard what he had done, they came up with Kaaia and made him pay them a fine of 1000 nuts, and cut down the tree on his land. Then he confessed his fault. March 18, 1889, a similar disturbance sprung up at the South-end, between the Bekau folks and Kaaia. He called on the people of trfe North-end for help. So I went with my people, not to fight, but to hold a Christian assembly. The Bekau folks were fined, and tranquility restored. limma'sUrouble is now in her chest, and she can no longer teach the women and little children. Sunday and Wednesday meetings are orderly and Emma continues the Friday meetings for the women. Sometimes we think we ought to go back to Hawaii to get proper medical treatment for Emma. I have planted 72 cocoanut trees, 0 bread-fruit, 6 pandanus on the mission land; built an eating and store-room, a cook house, a school house, and have bought for $4 four cocoanut trees outside of the mission premises. My house is very comfortable, with its windows, blinds, veranda and steps. I would like to have three nets for fishing. I used to pay $4.50 for one net, with meshes about one inch or less. The net ought to be 10 or 12 fathoms long. Kaaia is well, and doing well, not very well. The Holy Spirit is what we need. We have had rain, and the island looks very beautiful. My kind regards to all the members of the Hawaiian Board." The letter is dated March 19, 1889, and was received October 19. A letter from Rev. M. Lutera, Apaian, speaks of his wife as teaching the girls to sew and sing, while he teaches the boys. A new school house is nearly completed, and also an addition to the church. Attendance is good, and order almost universally prevails. The Christian people have passed a law, that if any one sleeps or laughs, or �Volume 47, No. 11.] makes a disturbance, he shall be fined 20 cocoanuts, and policemen are stationed every Sunday to enforce this rule. Lutera visited Tarawa June 8, and received 150 to the church, baptized 40 children, mairied 40 couples. A new church building has been put up, 80 feet long by 50 feet wide. Rain has fallen abundantly for two years, and food is plenty. But there is no King or Queen, no one person with supreme authority. The Annual meeting of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was held on the evening of Saturday, October 26th, at Y. M. C. A. Hall. The reports of the various officers were read, and an animated and instructive address was delivered by the President, Mrs. Dr. J. M. Whitney. The exercises were followed by a sociable hour, with refreshments served. The Blue Ribbon League participated in the occasion, their President, Rev. H. H. Gowen opening the exercises. We print in another column the report of the missionary of the W. C. T. U., Miss M. F2. Green, which was read on this occasion, and which is full of interest. Report of Missionary of W. C. T. U. By Miss Mary E. Green. On account of absence six months to California, we give this year a biennial report. Temperance effort and success are the main features during the year 1888. In June, I toured the island of Oahu. My companions were Jennie Bates, assistant teacher at the Kawaiahao Seminary, and Obed Kekuewa, both natives of the soil. Both consecrated to the Master's service. Descending the Pali, we were overtaken by an Hawaiian who wore two hats; his attitude evinced an inclination towards the jug that depended from his saddle's pommel. Miss Bates opened upon him a battery of wholesome advice. On parting she suggested the propriety of dashing the jug away, and returning to his wife and children. We reached the sugar plantation of Mr. John Cummins, where we were tendered right royal hospitality. The following day, the people met me in Mr. Cummins spacious reception room. We held services and took pledges. In due time we left for more "seed sowing." Now and then reaching Hawaiian homes, we would dismount, and call the inmates to prayer, Bible reading and instruction, into which my young companions entered willingly. It was a joy to converse with the aged Hawaiians; their simple trust in God, their cheerful expressions of gratitude for what has been done for them by the missionaries, bright anticipations of the "mansions" prepared for them, and their decided non-complicity with intemperance stamped them Christ's own ones. 89 THE FRIEND. At Kaneohe, we were guests of Mr. WaiIn company with the Deputy nee. Sheriff, we visited many homes. At this place I formed a Union, previous to which, our Constitution, By-Laws and pledge were read. There were speeches, songs, prayers and intelligent questions as to the best method of carrying on the work. Pledges were given, and a good spirit prevailed. We left for Waikane bedecked with garlands of fragrant flowers. As on the preceding days of travel, grand cliffs of Koolau were on our left, the breezy, bright blue Pacific at our right. At Waikane we were entertained by Mr. Aikue in foreign style. The family vied with each other in ministries of love. On Sunday we held service, Sabbath School, and formed a Union. The pastor was absent. His wife spread for us all a generous lunch, and showered upon us assurances of aloha. On Monday we set forth reinforced by our friend Aikue and his family. We visited the district school kept by our half-white hostess. The first beholding was a line of boys and girls, each holding a copy of Hunt's Child's Health Primer. I received prompt replies to questions put them from the book. We road over a beautiful country. To the left mountains, to the right the murmuring sea, sowing the seed as we entered the lowly homes of the dear Hawaiians, or met them on our way. At Kahana, one of Nature's valley gems, we made cold water calls, then to the home of Mr. Kapu, pastor of the churches on the west side of Oahu. For hours he and friends had been awaiting our arrival, and a gladsome reception we met. The women of his parish had braided Pandanus mats for the floors of the parsonage, skillfully fitting to each turn and corner. The appointments of the house were civilized and neat. The ensuing day with Mr. Kapu, we revisited Kahana to find the church filled with Hawaiians, some from miles away. We organized there a Society, whose officers were young women, more modest, sensible interesting I have hardly ever met. "True ring" was imparted to the occasion by the well trained choir, under leadership of the pastor. With Mr. Kapu we journeyed through Koolaupoko and Koolauloa, missionating on the way. We passed the Mormon settlement. At Kahuku homes, we met, conversed and united in prayer with men and women whom I shall never forget. We shall know each other in "The Better Land." While at Waialua, we were the recipients of many loving attentions from Mrs. Emerson. She could not have said or done more for us had she known it was her final visit with us. A loving mother welcome she gave us on arrival; a fond farewell at departure; as we turned for one more look at the dear face, fresh inspiration incited us to greater effort in behalf of "God, Home, and Native Land." At the old missionary church we held meetings, and organized a Temperance Union into which work the Judge en- tered heartily. We passed on to the north-east part of Oahu, stony and bleak. Here to my surprise was a former pupil, who with her family signed the pledge. After many miles of slow riding, we reached Makua. That evening was devoted to our special mission. At Waianae, 1 formed a Union of earnest hearts and willing hands. At Ewa, we hoped to have gathered the people together, but they are so scattered it could not be done on short notice. We reached Honolulu after seventeen consecutive days of service "in His Name." My companions gained knowledge as to methods of work among their countrymen. They took it up in a manner highly creditable to themselves. The past year your committee has spent in Honolulu. Have translated temperance articles for the two weekly newspapers "Kuokoa" and "Pat Ainu. Have held weekly " Band of Hope" meetings for Hawaiian children at "Queen Emma Hall." Although success is not commensurate with our hopes and plans, we endeavor to bear in mind what is written in the "Book of books." It reads thus : "If thou faint_ in the day of adversity, thy strength is small." So, adverse circumstances will only stimulate us to greater faith, and efforts in the blessed cause of aiding to rescue humanity from death and ruin. We have hoped to publish a second edition of our Hawaiian temperance song book with music; but cannot yet see our way clear. We have added "awa" and "opium" to Our temperance pledge. Although our meetings are not always fully attended, we know that such is the way among other nationalities. There ever was, and ever will be a high and low tide in the affairs of men. On our last monthly visit to the prison, we saw, as usual, whites and natives confined for alcoholism. We visit the public institutions of the city, and the homes of the people; and in our ears is poured the same sad story that brings tears to our eyes, and sorrow to our hearts. The Friday evening meetings at Queen Emma House, ably conducted by the Chief Justice of the nation, are still replete with interest. Many are the thrilling facts and experiences there given. Many of those who have signed the pledge of total abstinence are this night rejoicing in their freedom. It is gratifying to see the "bit of blue " by some worn costantly; an emblem of unshaken adherence to the pledge given. We believe that Prohibition is what Hawaii nei needs. License, high license, low license, weighed in the balance are found want- . �90 THE FRIEND. ing. "License is a sham, a fraud, a sin." Some say the people are not quite ready now for the adoption of any complete measure for the cure of this great evil. We must wait; we must bide our time; the saloons are too much for us now; we must stand aside and let them have their way, as people in a crowded street must do if a savage bull were running amuck through it. No possible good, even to an infintesimal extent comes to temperance from the policy of license to the liquor traffic, while immense harm comes by giving the saloous the protection and support of law, as if it were a good thing, and not an infinite mischief to the community, and a great sin, "shame and crime before God." There exists in Honolulu a necessity whose importance cannot be over-estimated. AHome, and in it aW.C.T. U. department, in connection with a coffee and refreshment room, furnished with a view to comfort and pleasure, cheerfully lighted, whose wallsshall beadorned with scenes and letterings suggestive of happy homes in other lands, of a Heavenly Father's love—of welcomes to all. There should be bright flowers, and literature entertaining and improving. It seems to us a deplorable fact, that aside from the Y. M. C. A. no such Home exists. Its motto might be "Home Protection versus Saloon Destruction." Mrs. Homer of Kukuihaele sent five dollars for the work, which were expended for temperance mottos, arranged on the walls of Queen Emma Hall. Mr. Southwick has placed in our hand ten dollars. The brothers Wilcox on Kauai have each donated $25, and Mrs. T. Waterhouse ten, towards the purJ. chase of a sterioptican "A. No. 1" which, when secured, after a due amount of the wherewith is raised, will be a material aid to temperance work. Early Trading in Hawaii. The monthly concert exercises on Wednesday, Oct. 2d, in Central Union Church, were most agreeably varied by a most spicy and stirring account of his labors in Singapore by Rev. Mr. Oldham, a returning Methodist missionary in transit by a P. M. S. steamer. Mr. and Mrs. Oldham had gone to India on Bishop Taylor's self-supporting plan, which does not seem to be altogether the best one. They found remunerative occupation in Singapore in teaching English to sons of Chinese merchants, and had created a large and prosperous educational institute, resulting in many conversions of the pupils. Mr. O. speaks and looks like a man who could make his way anywhere. A lady missionary from Corea, the first one ever visiting us, also made some interesting statements. We are pleased to learn that Prof. Edmund Sanford, lately of Oahu College, and since then at Johns Hopkins, has become one of the faculty of the new Clark University in Worcester, iFrom the MaiU Wreath.) By W. D. Alexander. It has been said that anatomists like Cuvier or Agassiz from a single bone, a tooth for instance, could reconstruct an entire skeleton. "Ex pede Hereiilem." So a literary fragment, an old newspaper or a diary will often throw unexpected light on the state of society in which it was produced. This is true of a little book accidentally found the other day in a store-room of the Government building called Hale Kapuaiwa. While examining a mass of forgotten rubbish, I came across a large box containing the account books of the old firm of French & Co., from 1828 to 1843, among which was a small ledger filled with accounts of the years 1818 to 1819. After some inquiry I learned that this set of books and papers had been filed with the Court of Chancery ofOahu in 1844, during the settlement of the complicated affairs of the Estate of French and Greenway. It seems that Mr. Wm. French came from Boston to these islands in 1819, on his way to China with a cargo of merchandise. From the ledger referred to above we gather -that he left Boston in September, 1818, in the Brig "Neo," arriving here in March, 1819, and that he remained here until November of the same year. It was a memorable year in Hawaiian history. Kamehameha I. died on the Bth of May, and was succeeded by his son Liholiho. The abolition of the Kapu system was proclaimed in the following October, and therevolt ofKekuaokalani in behalf of idolatry took place in November, to which events our account book makes no allusion. The first and most interesting account in the book is that of King Kamehameha I. or "Tamaahmah," commencing March 12th, 1819, on which day he bought two shirts, paying for them by a canoe load of vegetables. A week later, we are sorry to see that he purchased 16 kegs of Rum, valued at $400, and on the 27th a box of Tea, together with $8,000.00 worth of guns, powder and shot. He paid for the above with 850 piculs of sandal wood at $10 a picul, the picul being equal to 133c_ lbs. weight. During the following May, his son and successor, Liholiho, or " Reah Rehu," purchased 34 casks of gun-powder, 80 muskets at $15, with a large quantity of bullets, flints, etc., and the new sloop "Kiroua," valued at $4,160.00, for which he gave in payment 416 piculs of sandal wood, 4 hogs, and his note for the balance. This supply of muskets and ammunition was very timely in view or civil war which broke out five months later, and no doubt contributed to the decisive victory of Kuamoo over the pagan party. Next comes the account of Kalanimoku, or "Crymacoo," who bought a shirt [November, 1889 March Pith, paying for it with a hog, which seems to have been the regular price. He also purchased over $1,200 worth of cloth, paying for it with hogs and small wood; and lastly Aug. 6th, bought the brig "Neo" and appurtenances for the exorbitant price of $51,-750.00, paying down $44,470.00 in sandal wood, and giving his note for the balance, viz., $7,280.00. The craze for buying ships has always been a weakness of Hawaiian Chiefs, from the time of the brig "Neo" or "Niu" to that of the steamship "Kaimiloa." The next important account is that of Boki, here styled "Gov. Boka," who was Governor of Oahu, and appears to have made a final settlement for the debts of all the chiefs. Among his purchases were 6 packs of cards for $3.00. The final upshot of the business was that the King and chiefs parted with over $61,600.00 worth of sandal wood, besides many hogs, and gave three joint notes amounting to $24,310.00, payable in sandal wood. We have been told that Gov. Adams found the brig "Niu" rotten (popopo), and had her hauled up and repaired in Pearl River. Among other accounts we find those of Kaahumanu or "Caramano," Keeaumoku or "Tyamoko," Naihe or "Nyhee," Kaikioewa or "Kikeavah," and Hewahewa or "Haver Haver," the high priest. Nearly every one of these worthies purchased a shirt on the 12th of March, 1819, giving a hog in exchange for it. Among the names of foreigners we find that of John Young, who, like the rest, bought a new shirt March 12th, for a hog, and afterwards gave a small pig in exchange for 3 lbs. of tobacco. John Harbottle, who arrived here in 1794, was acting as pilot, and took his pay in goods. We also find the familiar names of Capt. Thomas Meek, of FVancesco Marin (spelt "Marinne"), of George Beckley, Wm. Bade, W. H. Davis, and other old settlers. Nearly all the trade was carried on by barter, and scarcely any payments in cash are recorded in our book. Hogs are credited at $2.00 a piece. On the other hand, the price of an axe was $3.00, of a "palimpore" or Chinese umbrella, $3.00, and blue cloth was sold at $3.00 a yard. It is worthy of notice that the seamen of the brig "Neo" were shipped in Boston at from $11 to $16 per month, receiving all the way from $22 to $80 in advance. Facts like these speak for themselves. W. D. Alexander. General James F. B. Marshall. After an absence of thirty-one years, we have again among us this gentleman, who has long been the sole survivor from among the active participants in the most stirring crisis of the political history of these Islands, that of the seizure of the kingdom by Lord George Paulet.

Mr. Marshall soon returned here and started the Lihue sugar plantation. In 1858 he returned to Boston, where as President of the Hawaiian Club, he helped to welcome Hawaiian visitors, arid to disseminate information about these Islands. Being debarred by a physical disability from military service during the war, he rendered most important service as Paymaster General of the Massachusetts troops, and was at one time, with Mrs. Marshall, for several months at the front in the work of the Sanitary Comission, Mrs. Marshall laboring as a nurse in the Military Hospitals. Later on, for fifteen years, our friend was associated with Gen. S. C. Armstrong at Hampton, Va., as financial manager of the great and successful school at that place. After a long life of so much beneficent service, he is again among scenes of his earlier labors, to find almost all his former associates passed away. The F"riend desires to extend to Gen. and Mrs. Marshall its most cordial welcome and wishes fortheir happy and prosperous visit among us. Monthly Record of Events. Oct.

Emerson, - Editor. We are glad to see that at the planters' meeting, which is now being held, such appreciative and kind resolutions were passed bearing upon their relations with the native Hawaiians. It is by the honest expression of just such sentiments as these, and by the carrying of them out into practice, that the bitterness which is being gendered by the demagogue is to be neutralized, and the workmen of our earlier days to be won back to wholesome labor. Let the planters pay handsome wages; let them be careful in the selection of their lunas (gang overseers); let them keep these positions, so far as they can in fairness to themselves, for the native Hawaiians; let them offer them as a reward for trustworthiness, and we believe that the policy will prove itself. Why should not the young men of the Kamehameha School be assured that the great industry of the islands offers them a fair and open field; why should not some of them be permitted to "plan to enter plantation life; what could be healthier for them, or often more remunerative. If rightly led, they might help to bring the dignity of plantation work up to a higher level. If the bright, informed native (or half-white) can readily collect a band of suffering indigents, and lead them in a raid against good government in search of precarious spoils, then it would seem that hd might be a good man to enlist men for plantation work. It may be fairly possible that this might be one solution of the problem, "where shall we get laborers?" There are workmen enough already on the islands if they can only be got at. The opening that might thus be offered the intelligent young Hawaiian, might also be afforded the young Chinaman or Portuguese, or Japanese of right quality. Are there not enough unemployed hands already in the country to man our plantations, without trying the doubtful experiment of bringing in more. It is one thing to get workmen and another thing to keep them at work; the latter matter is quite as important as the former. Plantation life may perhaps be made more attractive. Let us avoid the coolie system, or the alien driver. Let natives lead natives at their work, and Chinamen lead Chinamen, when it is a feasible thing, and so in and between the hands of workmen,.let there be honor aud emulation.

There was but one Blue Ribbon Entertainment last month owing to an unusual counter attraction on one Saturday evening, and the hall being engaged two other Saturday evenings. We hope to do better in the months to come. The business meeting last month was not so largely attended as it should have been. The usual committees reported and several mattes of interest were discursed. Mr. F. J. Lowrey, who has been spending several months in the United States, gave us an interesting talk on his impressions of Y. M. C.

Since vacation the Sunday evening Gospel Service has increased in interest and attendance, and yet there is still room for improvement.

I am moved to copy some of the things I found on the back of these various cards, the front being reserved for the advertisement: "This is the most complete and correct collection of all military and naval uniforms throughout the world." "We will pack in the celebrated Chewing Tobacco the portraits of all the leading base-ball players in the country in full uniform." "Flags of all the states and territories in the Union." "Portraits of our leading actors and actresses in the costumes of all nations from 600 B. C. to the present time." On some of these cards important statements are made: To-day. "Figures never lie.

"Ah, but, it is said the heavens are evolved, and the earth is evolved, and these bodies and souls are evolved." Then why not say the flints and hatchetheads are evolved. It would be easier to believe it. They look to be verymuch in a state of transition. But suppose these worlds, and these blossoms, and these people aie evolved—it does not yet appear—but suppose they are evolved. How does that hinder the argument ? How does that do away with God? Who evolved them? Evolved themselves? Suppose even that. There is no proof of it. But suppose it. Then out of what did they evolve ? Who made the marvellous fire-mist ? And who gave it such amazing forces, that out of this formless immensity there could come these myriad beings, all instinct with life, and all radiant with beauty ? More than before, if possible, there needs a wonder-working hand behind that primordial form of matter which is said to have in it "the promise and potency of every form oflife." Who made it? It does not solve the mystery of the material universe to put it all back into the protoplasmic nebulosity. Whence came that nebulosity ? Who got that marvellous tire-mist ready to roll up and around, and upon itself through eeom upon eeona of ages, and to flame up into ten millions times ten millions blazing suns; and then to settle away into these hills, and valleys, and waters: and then to begin to stir with mysterious vital forces, all out of its own protoplasmic mud evolving all the world's bloom and all the world's life, you and me, your soul and mine, all that we are or ever are to be. our very thoughts, and hopes, and loves, and longings after immortality ? That was an amazing skill that could give primordial matter all that promise and potency. Whose skill was it? Nobody's? "Nobody's skill," they say. "for matter is eternal.'' That is the only way of escape from the admission that there is a (iod iif infinite power and infinite skill. out of whose hand this wonderful universe came. Either matter has existed forever, m else there is a God of whom it may be said, "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God." The argument now is brief. The simple question that remains is this: since something musl have existed from all eternity, is that something an intelligent mind, a being with a will and with power to work? or is it matter? First, which is it most rational to believe, that mind is the product of unthinking matter, or that matter is the product of a thinking mind ? Mind is a higher thing than matter. Does the higher corns from the lower, or the lower from the higher? Which then is the Lehman being succeeded by Brother most rational, from eternity to eternity, Stolze for four years, and the Brethren the tire-mist; or from eternity to eternity, Wedeman and Kuester, each for eight years, while from 1861 to his being callGod?

How well informed he really is may be seen* by reading an excellent article in the latest issue of The Christian Advocate of this city. Its author is the Rev. S. L. Baldwin, whose knowledge of Chinese Mission work is not exceeded by any man's. Dr. Baldwin shows that there are to-day 35,000 communicants ol Protestant Churches in China; if these were four-dollars-a-month men. as Lieut. Wood asserts, their pay would be $1,-680,000 yearly, or more than twice the amount spent by all the Protestant missionary societies in China, including the salaries of all the missionaries, the building of churches and parsonages and schools, tlie printing of books, the supply of drugs and surgical instruments fur the hospitals, and all other matters of expense. The converts are from every class of society: mainly, however, from merchants, store-keepers, fanners, and artisans.
