The Friend is taken by a large number of subscribers in the United States, natives and former residents of Hawaii nei, who depend upon it for information as to the state of affairs here. We are in the midst of the excitement of the approaching election, from the asperities of which The Friend might well stand aloof. In view, however, of the wants of our foreign readers, we will endeavor to describe briefly the situation of to-day. The Reform Party, siding with the existing Government, have named their candidates for the Legislature on all the islands. An Opposition, apparently strong, has also presented its tickets. It is composed of two very diverse elements. One consists of a large body of foreigners, organized primarily as the "Mechanics' Union," who are, from various causes not very clear, discontented with the Government, but who do not appear to be Reactionary in their intentions. They do not desire to return to the old Constitution, or to restore to the King the controlling power of which the new Constitution deprived him. The other body, consisting chiefly of native Hawaiians, is led by the halfwhites Robert W. Wilcox, who headed the late insurrection for the purpose of restoring to the King his lost power, and John E. Bush, who was a chief instigator of the same. These men are vio- , , 9 ;-i Number*! property of foreigners, the men-of-war in port would land their forces for bur protection. This, however, would be a thing most undesirable, as it would impair our autonomy and endanger the independence of Hawaii, which we earnestly desire to maintain. There are some foreigners here, however, who encourage the Wilcox party for this very purpose— to promote annexation to the United States. Any forecast on the part of The Friend as to the probable issue of the balloting next Wednesday is impracticable. We are strongly hoping for a large Reform majority, but are prepared Tor partial defeat in some districts. We are glad to be able to say that the Reform administration of the past two and a half years has been so capable and so clean that no definite charges to the contrary on any material point have yet been sustained against it by the opposition. It is quite evident that a large proportion of the natives wholly distrust Wilcox and Bush, whose record is conspicuously bad. The Portuguese voters are especially apathetic, and do not register. Indeed, the slackness of voters in registering betrays apathy among all classes. The general prosperity of the community is unfavorable to ardent ment, as against the arbitrary and lawless rule of the King. This rule Wilcox and Bush are raving to restore. They are the only men in the new party who have a decided and earnest aim. This paity takes the name of "National Reform" party. It has adopted a platform which, on its surface, looks identical in principle with that of the Reform Party. Careful scrutiny, however, discloses serious concessions to Wilcox and Bush. The name " Reform" and the apparently Reform platform must be regarded as a gratifying testimony to the resistless control which Reform principles have gained here, like the "tribute of hypocrisy which vice pays to virtue." The word "National," however, belongs to the Wilcox side, and means, as at former elections, the race-cry "Hawaii for the Hawaiians," the native race to hold exclusive control of public affairs. This is what the natives understand by it, although the "Mechanics' Union" prob- political excitement. In brief, while a displacement of the ably do not.

The Yearly Reports of this Church were presented on Wednesday evening, January 15th. The whole will, as usual, THE FRIEND. of health. Mrs. Cole had been sent to the aid of Miss Palmer. There had been an average attendance of thirty-five at the meetings, the largest sixty-six. The total receipts had been $1,462. We hope to give in The Friend a fuller report of this important organization. The Fowler's Yard Mission reported an average attendance of twenty persons at the Monday evening meetings, many others standing outside. Thirty-four were present at the last meeting. Valuable personal efforts had been contributed by Rev. Mr. Griffin and Mr. Edward Clifford. Mrs. Judge McCully had been in charge of the meetings. For the day school in Fowler's Yard our devoted teacher, Miss A. F. Johnson, reported forty day scholars, with about the same number at the Sabbath school. The families in this courtyard are chiefly Norwegians and Portuguese of the laboring classes. The Missionary Gleaners reported receipts to the amount of $340. Miss Chamberlain reported her important labors and visits as City Missionary. The Colporteur to Seamen, Mr. Sherman, reported several hundred calls upon ships in port and the distribution of many tracts in Hawaiian and English to sailors, which were generally taken with eagerness. Many seamen had been led to church, and many had visited Mr. Sherman at his house. The good prospect of the erection of a Sailors' Home was spoken of as of a thing much needed. The Portuguese Sabbath School was reported with an average attendance of thirty-five, chiefly of boys. There was much hindrance from the interference of the priests. The evening school was well attended. The Japanese Sabbath School was reported by Mr. Bidwell as having about twenty-five in attendance. There were eight teachers in English, and more help was needed. The Japanese are often leaving for other islands, or returning to Japan. Mesdames Hyde and Coleman have given much aid, also Miss Castle. In the Japanese Church the word has been powerful to salvation, and most of the converts have been faithful to their vows. There are now thirtyfour church members, and thirty in the Y. M. C. A. In these islands are about 10,000 Japanese, 1,200 of whom belong to the Temperance Society and 3,000 to the Mutual Aid Association. Eighteen have just been baptized at Hilo. The Makiki Mission was reported by Mrs. Merritt, who had taken Mrs. Dillingham's place during her absence. This is chiefly Sabbath School work for the Chinese and half-Chinese, the teachers being largely from the students of Oahu College. The work has been growing. The average attendance has been seventy-one. be printed for the use of the members. We will anticipate such publication by noting items of leading interest. The membership of the Church had grown during the year from 363 to 424. Forty-seven had been received on profession, and eighteen by letter. Pen were dismissed to other churches. Four had died. The finances of the Church had been remarkaldy prosperous, under the system of pledges, from which $5,471.30 had been received, which was $270 in excess of all |h I Ti.e Sabbath morning and evening collections for benevolent purposes had amounted to $3,005.35, to which was lidded $1,029.20 from special contributions, making a total of $4,034.55. The largest item of benevolent expenditure was the sum of $1,200 to the Hawaiian Board. The Chinese and Japanese missions were largely subsidized. The Fowler's Yard Mission forms a large item. Various mission Sabbath schools receive aid. The poor of the church are helped. A city missionary is employed, also a colporteur among seamen. It is well known that large private donations which do not appear in these reports are made by members of this church to the above and other objects. The Sabbath School had been prosperous, with an average attendance of 255, exclusive of the primary department. The treasurer reported $1,007.52 received from collections and various sources, of which $739.95 had been given to various mission schools and to education of youth, inclusive of $24.25 to the lepers. The Building Fund was stated to amount to about $76,000, including all subscriptions, and assets available towards the proposed new edifice, besides the lot for the building. The modified plans have been adopted for a stone edifice, and it is expected that by another year it will be far advanced towards completion. The Sabbath School Librarian reported 525 volumes in the library, of which 114 were new books. We should have been glad to hear some statement of the manner in which books were selected, also some classification of the library, as Biography, History, Fiction, etc. The Ladies' Society reported various meetings and public social gatherings, including three noon lunches. They had raised $472.40 for the new edifice. The Women's Board of Missions reported three special and twelve regular meetings during the year. Their Missionaries, Miss Green and Miss Palmer, The Society of Christian Endeavor were in active service. Miss Fletcher reported an average attendance of sevhad finally left Ponape through failure enty-five, a majority taking part, and the [February, 1890. hour too brief. We believe this Society is a chief training school for the church. The Pastor's Report summed up many things already given above, also twelve marriages, twenty-five infant baptisms, and twenty-two funerals. .We have thus given hasty notes and imperfect hints of the great work and manifold interests reported upon in this annual recounting of the years' experiences. The whole of the reports are to be printed, five hundred copies. We are sure that Mr. W. W. Hall will gladly* supply copies to friends desiring them on other islands. [Communicated.] Sunday Amusements. The recent opening of the Oahu Railroad for Sunday travel has given great pain to many of our sober-minded Christian people. That it should be advocated and undertaken by professedly Christian men is another painful fact that does not grow any easier to acknowledge and endure, the longer one reflects upon its probable significance or sees the actual working of this disregard of the sanctity of the Sabbath. The only plea is the necessity of recreation. But recreation is something of higher meaning and wider scope than amusements. There is a needful and proper unbending of the strain of mind and body. For fullest developement of human energies, we need periods of rest for refreshment and recuperation. But self-indulgence is not the recreation that man needs. The relaxing of the claims of religion and of righteousness is an element of peril and disaster, not of joy and hope, whether to the individual or to society. It is a great mistake to decry the Puritan Sabbath of New England society, as it was in the days before manufactures and commerce broke up its simplicity of life and manners, as a day of gloom and cant. The real fact is that in the devotion of the Sabbath to special religious privileges there is higher enjoyment than any mere amusement of self-indulgence can comprehend or measure. TShose are to be pitied who think that in doing their own pleasure on the Lord's Day there is any real gain to mind or body. California society does not furnish a desirable model for those who would build their homes and mould society in these happy isles. To introduce Sabbath-breaking habits is to throw away a providential opportunity for securing a high-toned and blissful state of quiet security for a reckless, lawless, turbulent mobocracy. See the liquor carried and distributed freely on the Sunday trains; listen to the vile language and quarrelsome talk: and say, if you can, that Sunday travel is a boon and a benefit. �Volume 48, No. 2.] Sabbath Observance Taught by Hindoos, Mohammedans and Parsees. Gains and Losses. There are only three surviving tf the sent by the American Board to tin se islands. The older generati n t.f Hawaii, n pasti rs is also fast passing away. Three, Rev. G. B. Ka onnhimaka, R-v. S. Kamaike, Rev. J. Han;.l a, have died within the last three months. The Hawaiian people are diminishing in numbers. Within the last fifteen years the decrease of the native population has been about 10,000. But 37,000 have been brought in, 17,000 Chinese, 8,000 Japanese, 12 000 1' rtnguese. This period of fifteen years, the time in which this Kingdom has had the benefits of the Reciprocity Treaty with the United States, has been a period of gn at material prosperity. While the total population has increased only a little m ire than o:.ehalf, the imports have almost trebled, rising from $1,881,770 in 1876 to $4,540,887 n 18S8. The exports have increased in a much larger ratio, being now nearly six times the value, $2,241,041 in 1876 and $11,903,398 in 1888 This is largely the increase in sugar, which, even ;<t the low prices that prevailed in 1888, was nearly nine times the quantity of the crop of 1876, or, as the figures are given in the Custom House Statistics, being 26,072,429 pounds in 1876, and 235,888,346 pounds in 1888. Further analysis of thtse st tistics shows that while the population has increased only five eighths, twenty times the amount • f grain and feed fir animals was imported in 1888 as compared with 1876, and 57,animals -526 was the annual valuation ofwith $261 imported in 1888 as compared in 1876. Three times the value of fl mr is imported now that was reported then, and six times as much of fresh fruit. Twice as much lumber, five times .s much leather, five times as much m.ich'nery, and twee as much stationery and books are called f r now. And a disagreeable item to recognize is three times the value of ale and beer, two and a third tines the value of spirits, six times the value of wines, showing how much faster alcoholism increases than does population or property. The number cf gallons of spirits consumed increased from 49,707 gallons in 1876 to 100,703 in 1886. Well for the community that the revolution in 1887 reduced this amount one-fourth, but it is running liup again. A meeting recently held in Bombay • rdained missionaries to protest against the despatch of the European mails from that port on Sunday, was remarkable not so much for the purpose which convoked it, as for the diversity of religious beliefs entertained by those who united in a common object. It was a large and enthusiastic meeting, whose object was to protest against the loss of one day in seven as a day of rest, a protest in which not only Christian Englishmen tookpart, but were joined by Hindoos, Mohammedans and Parsees. We can imagine what Englishmen would say upon such a subject, but it is not easy to anticipate the positions of the representatives of the three classes last mentioned, who spoke for the people of Bombay. They were certainly more conservative than many public and business men in this country. The Mussulman, Mr. Sayani, after seconding the emphatic protest presented by the Bishop of Bombay, urged that the abrogation of Sunday as a day of rest, would be an egregious blunder. He drew a vivid picture of Christian officials and of other representative persons, rushing to a steamer on Sunday, while church bells were ringing, to bid farewell to a British prince, or the Christian Envoy of a Christian people ! The young people of India, he continued, would conclude from the example of their Christian rulers, that religion is a matter to be disregarded when convenience or financial interests require. He thought Mohammedans had been unfairly treated. They had relinquished their own holy day (Friday) and adopted the Sabbath of their rulers, and now an attempt was made to deprive them of that. Mr. Mehta, a representative of the 70,000 Parsees, or Fire-Worshipers, in Bombay, declared that his people felt the common grievance that had brought together so large an assembly, and that people of all classes and creeds would be affected by the loss of an institution which, after becoming a part of the common life of the city, had greatly contributed to its moral and financial welfare. He earnestly supported the protest. The representative of the Hindoo population earnestly seconded the resolutions, and announced his hearty concurrence in the necessity of preserving the present Sabbath. In view of this extraordinary demonstration, would it not be well for the Sabbath Observance Committee to engage a few Bombay Mohammedans, Parsees, and Hindoos to lecture in this country on the necessity of preserving one day in seven —and that the Christian Sabbath—as a dayofrest? —N. Y. Evangelist. 11 THE FRIEND. Why Did They Succeed? We often hear in familiar conversation the story of one and another who have been engaged in the sugar industry, some only to end in failure, some to achieve notable success. The thought has arisen, why this difference of result? A, 13, C, with the same apparent ability, with the same educational advantages, with similar family training, enter upon the business. A pushes and drives, but makes no headway. B pegs away, early and late, making steady advancement year by year till he comes out at the top of the list. C has evea better opportunities for a but gradually flattens out and sinks down out of sight. We have thought how great a boon it might be to others just entering on their life-work if those who are familiar with such histories of achievement and of failurewould give to the world the particulars in regard to each instance. The facts could be easily gathered up in our small community. The period of time covered by the developenient of this industry in this country is very brief. How full ofinterest these personal narratives would be! Yet, would the conditions of success be any better known? Is there not a subtle personal element that cannot be classified or tabulated ? We may calculate with mathematical precision the cohesive force of timber, the resistance of masonry. But as the elements that enter into our calculations grow more subtle they elude our investigation, however scientific our processes may be. Who can tell why a watch-spring breaks at a certain moment, or why a violin string will snap? So there seems to be in the human will a certain element of tension that cannot be calculated tnat sometimes will stand a strain, 01 me H. time will break and fail.

Brother Fuller thinks it does. (See Y. M. C. A. page.) We think not so, necessarily, by any means. On the contrary, we think that a severe contest in a great popular election is very apt to be most wholesome, morally. We think the present election strife is becoming so. People speak out. Men get their moral sense set at work. They discern between the evil and the good. Hypocrisies are unmasked: shams are blown away: villainies are unveiled. The foul, stagnant, pestiferous atmosphere of every day political life is whirled away in the storm. At such a time men's minds are roused to keen activity. The great vital issues which underlie all politics are uncovered, and men feel their reality and supreme importance. They are set to thinking. It educates them mentally and morally to take part in a stirring conflict upon the old battle grounds of Liberty and Right eousness. There is a great satisfaction in seeing men rally for good government; we like to see them get warm about it.

Van Slyke remits two years' subscription for The Friend. He writes from Baltimore: "We were made glad by the arrival of the numbers of The Friend. 1 took the Gazette one year, but found I had to read too much in which I was not interested in order to get the little that was of special interest; and here we feel that six dollars for a weekly paper is too much. The Friend contains exactly what we most want to know, and I am almost vexed at myself that I did not subscribe for it before I left Honolulu." Judge David J. Brewer of Kansas has been appointed Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court. It will interest some here to know that he is a brother of Prof. Fisk P. Brewer of Grinnell University, whose wife is Julia Richards of Honolulu, and whose daughter, Miss Grace Brewer, is now a teacher in Kawaiahao Female Seminary. Both these gentlemen were born in Turkey, sons of the eminent missionary Brewer, their four distinmother being sister guished brothers David, Stephen, Cyrus, and Henry Field, who, by the way, all seem to have Bible names, except the clergyman. Dom Pedro on the Brazilian Republic. The First Hawaiian Leper. Sir Morell Mackenzie, in the Nineteenth Century, quotes Dr. W. Hillebrand as having seen the first case in 1853 "in a thinly-populated district of Oahu, about twenty miles from Honolulu, in a small village near the sea." The truth is that the malady came here long before Dr. Hillebrand did. Rev. Dwight Baldwin, M. D., of Lahaina, knew more of its origin and early history in Hawaii than any other person. Many years ago we obtained from him the following facts, which we give from recollection. The first appearance of the disease was about 1840 upon a chief in the suite of the Premier Kekauonohi; he had contracted it abroad. He removed to Lahaina, living there with his aikanc, a wellknown chief, to whom he imparted the disease through the peculiar intimacies of that relationship. Dr. Baldwin treated the latter case about 1845 while ignorant of its nature. FYom this chiel leprosy gradually spread in Lahaina and in Honuaula, where he resorted. We first observed it in Lahaina about 1856,from which time the cases rapidly multiplied. It is quite certain that leprosy was not introduced here by Chinese immigrants, but by a Hawaiian from some foreign port. The above was substantially Dr. Baldwin's statement. The connection of the Lahaina chief with certain high personages kept these facts in the background. The natives still call leprosy "mai alii," or royal malady. - "I much fear that there are exaggerated political ambitions dominant in Brazil which will surely bring misfortunes on the country.

Please take especial note of the perfect success of the Pledge System in amply meeting the expenses of the Central Union Church of Honolulu. Cards are sent out to the members of the congregation at New Year's, and returned to the Treasurer, with each one's subscription. The result is, all the money wanted, and no selling of pews. The Wilcox people rail about the "Missionaries" having captured the government. Hon. A. Young thinks they mean by a missionary a man who pays his quarterly account. Very much so! There is unquestionably much ground for the ex-emperor's forebodings. We will hope for a better result. But Liberty thus far has found no stable foothold in Papal countries. We feel personally a deep interest in Brazil, beginning with a visit of seventeen days at Rio dc Janeiro in 1852, where Protestantism was just beginning to gain a foothold. We also spent a half hour in the society of the Emperor in 1876 in Philadelphia. He left the impression of a very conscientious and learned gentleman, rather than of a great man. He bore a strong likeness to the Hapsburgs, and to Charles Y.

The dormitories are not yet quite ready for occupancy. Money is needed for furnishing the rooms and for grading the grounds. The expenses so far have been as follows: Contractor, $8,365; Plans, contract, and fees, $130; Filling in and preparing foundation, $125; Superintending, $100; Moving old buildings, $80; Stones and grading, $250, making a total of $9,050. There is a balance of about $200, but the estimated cost of all the improvements, $10,000, has not yet been secured. It is hoped that the $MOO still needed will be secured and the whole undertaking reported complete at the coming annual meeting in June.

A mass meeting of the citizens of Glasgow was called for December 19th at the City Hall to hear appeals for contributions to relieve the necessities of the lepers on Molokai, in which Father Pamphile, the brother of Father Damien, would take part. It was announced that the Provost of the city would preside, assisted by his Grace the Archbishop. Upon this theHawaiian Consul, James Dunn, Esq., addressed to the Lord Provost a letter, which was published in the city papers, in which he set forth that the lepers on Molokai were not in need of contributions from abroad for their material comfort, "as under the present excellent administration of affairs in Hawaii, all necessitous cases are amply provided for, the establishment at Molokai and its proper and complete equipment forming, and having indeed long formed the subject of a special item of "Of course, if the movesupply." ment is intended to cover the promotion of some special form of religious work, that is a matter with which I have no "I feel certain that, concern." looking to the past prosperity of the country, any such offer of aid would be incompatible with the fitness of things." He adds that, without disparaging Father Damien's worth, it is proper to say that his services have been much * * • * exaggerated. The canny Scots seem to have understood the situation. Only "about two dozen" persons attended the meeting. The Lord Provost was detained at home by a cold. We feel bound to add that, notwithstanding the liberal and efficient government support of the lepers, there is a call for much private help towards their spiritual needs and temporal comforts alike. Our people have been active in giving such help. We do not need to appeal to those abroad to contribute. Any presentation of actual needs of the lepers is certain to meet with a generous response from our own citizens. Great Britain, especially, has abundant call for aid to lepers in her Indian Empire. How Dishonor Gets Abroad. (From a Discourse Jan. 12, by Rev. E. 0, Heckwith, D.D.) It is astonishing how quickly the ill odor of unfair dealing gets abroad, conceal it as men will—and they always try to conceal it. Nobody is willing to be thought dishonest. Bribes are given and taken in secret. Frauds are plotted with Mephistophelian caution. Cheating is done covertly. The salesmen do not mix their teas on the counter in plain sight of you. Dairymen do not bring the milk in one can and the water in another, and consult your preference about the proportions. It is all done secretly, and meant to be kept concealed. But fraud is a very difficult thing to conceal; as hard to disguise as the odor of THE FRIEND. a man's midnight wassail. And you know how almost impossible it is to conceal that. You know how young men sometimes go from their reveling into the drawing room, thinking they have disguised their breath with spices and sweet perfumes, forgetting, it would seem, how the odor of those vile things exhales from every pore of ihe body. So with the ill odor of fraud. It does not need to come from the man's own lips. He may guard his speech as he will, or sweeten it with whatever honeyed words he will, but the bad repute exhales from all his life. It comes out, and he does not know how. Men shun him, and he cannot tell why. They leave his goods unbought, and he cannot imagine why. Or they deal with him, when they must, with extreme caution, and insist on extraordinary securities, and he wonders why. Or they quietly leave him out of the intimacies of friendship, and he wonders why. But everybody else knows why. He has forfeited men's respect. He has lost men's confidence. He has tried to "get riches and not by right" and the people know it, in spite of his shrewdest concealment. And the penalty is the people's contempt. It is the loss of men's confidence and "good will.' And with such a loss over against it, there is no profit in all his gain. 13 finally ortlained and settled at Laupahoe- hoe for abut ten years. From Laupahoehoe he was railed to Kaar.apali where he staid two years, and from Kaanapali he accompanied his leper wife, who we think was his stcond, to the leper settlement at Kal.iwao, and became pastor of the lepers in 1877. Hanaloa was once asked to go with Rev. S. Kamakahiki as a missionary to the Gilbert Islands, but he staid while Kamakahiki went. Hanaloa, though not a brilliant man, was in his way bright and inieresting. He was a thoroughly good man, and was possessed of a most equab!e and sweet temper, which fjet was a great gain to him in his relations with the brusque father Damien. Hanaloa was retired from the pastorate Od. 28, 1889, and succeeded by Rev. S. Waiwaiole. He died Jan. 21st, 1890. He was not a leper. His death was finally caused by a throat trouble. The theory that there can be no church without bishops was never maintained by Episc ipalisns in Kngland until the days when a school of theologians, who were at the same ti ie supporters of the tyrranny of the Stuarts, brought it forward and used it in the controversy wrth Puritanism. * * That no specific form of church government can boast of being an Apostolic ordinance for all time is a verdict which historical scholars are r.qiidly approaching unanimity in tendering.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Mission-., and the Editor, appointed by the Board is responsible for its contents. Rev. 0. P. Emerson, - Editor. The Supply Problem. There are at present twelve parishes in the group in pressing need of pastors. Six of them arc on the island of Hawaii (four in the Konas); three are on Maui, two on Oahu and one on Kauai. For the supplying of these fields we have but seven pos sible candidates; one is hut a licentiate, and he is in polities; another holds a government office; two more have been on the invalid list; one is hardly an available candidate; another k an old man. Thus but one is left who has already been asked to enter a vacant parish, but has declined doing so. It is barely possible that three men could be secured for as many pastorless fields leaving at least nine unprovided for. It is but fair to say that these pastorless fields are under the super vision of neighboring pastors, who occasionally visit them, and that two of them are now being visited on the Sabbath by theological students. Thus at least seven parishes must be left to suffer for the need of regular pas toral care. Now what is the prospect of a future supply. There are twelve'students at present in the Seminary, none of whom ought to graduate this year, and most all of whom ought to remain from two to four years more. Thus the outlook is serious for the immediate supply of these pastorless churches. It appears yet more serious when we consider the quality of the men in course of preparation. Only a portion of them speak English, or have had any academic training. In these respects they are mostly quite behind the average candidates ot to day for the bar. In measuring candidates for the minis try we would heed the warning which was given the prophet, who, when choosing from the sons of Jesse a leader for Israel was bidden "Look not on his countenance, or on the hight of his stature." And yet we think we have the spirit of the Lord when we say that the men of the future should mostly have a ready acquaintance with English; they should be academically trained, and should be so bred as to be capable guides as to the right conduct of life. In short the young men of the theological course should level up to our representative schools. There are excellent schools in the land that are giving a better form to Hawaiian life. Our public school system is markedly helping on toward this end. The native pastor of the future must be a more trained man than he has been in the past, and we think we see a prospect of his being such. We are hopeful : 15 THE FRIEND. that the new conditions under which we are now working will invite him. What are these new conditions ? First we have a new set of buildings on our Seminary grounds whose appointments and hygienic advantages are far in advance of those they have superseded. At last the seminary has a large and airy social hall where friends can be comfortably entertained. We give our congratulations to the principal of the North Pacific Insti tute for the present completeness of the seminary buildings. We trust that they may be only supplied with all necessary furniture and with a picked class of students Again, the prospect of at least a sure support, frugal as it is, which is now given the pastors of the churches relieves the gloomy outlook which only lately, and lor long years in the past, has been faced by the native ministry. There is also that prospect, very attractive to the intelligent native, of a post graduate course of study abroad which is being matured. With these advantages lately come to us we can contemplate the promise of the coming days with a measure of hopefulness. Those Reports. At the last meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, the committee to whom was referred the topic. "The Corrupt Practices which vitiate our Christian life and their Cure," reported seven grave evils: i. intoxicating drinks; 2. opium; 3. awa; 4. gambling; 5. violation of the family relation; 6. the employment of native kahunas; 7. idolatry. The whole matter was referred to a second commit- Hawaiian ministry and we hope the giving of them is to mark an era of spiritual reform in ihe churches. Again, these reports show the extreme difficulty of the work which our native brethren are called on to do in their parishes. The enemies to be contended with are legion. Corruption has ei.ttred the churches and is deeply centered among them. There is among them a great lack of spirituality. There are churches where the forces of corruption are rampant, and where there is little vital piety. The action of this sinfulness is often seen in the lives of deacons and of elders. The most prevalent evil force the native pastor has to contend with to-day is the awa habit. It is yielded to by old and young. It is in the church and out of it. It is but one of the several forms of intemperance which is bringing death to the nation. It is said that in some parts of China every fourth man is a slave to the opium habit. Doubtless there are regions on the islands of which the same might be said of the natives as regards the awa habit. It is the traditional form of their intemperance which has been revived in late years to the exceeding detriment of the race. There was a time once when the farthers-temporal and spiritual, chiefs and missionaries working together had greatly restricted the iranc in this p.rincions herb, and made the use of it at least among the church people, discreditable. Now the times have changed. Awa is drunk openly and its traffic is licensed. It is no longer, as once was the case, bought and sold under severe restrictions and as a drug. It is easily procurable in most every district, and to those who deal in it it has come to be a profitable business. The use of it is countenanced in high places, and the poor natives have returned to it as if forgetful of the better purposes of the past. As one poor, blear-eyed, skinney old woman put it the other day to one of tfie theological students who had visited her, "we are but creatures of time, earthen any way, and we might as well wallow the while in the mud." We do not believe that our cultivated and thoughtful natives are tempted to any great extent But as to the rest there to use the drug. is in the reports a fearful showing. Along with the awa and next to it, or equal with it in ruinous effect, come the other intoxicants. Among the Chinese opium is used quite extensively, and here and there natives are falling victims to it. Rut a far greater number of them are addict d to the use of some form of alcohol. When awa is not convenient to be taken, alcohol is. In country districts plantation hands are very commonly addicted to this vice. And with all these forms of intemperance there necessarily comes gambling and poverty, the defilement of the homelife and the destruction of the family rela- "for further investigation and study" in view of a future report. That committee prepared a circular soliciting information on jhe seven above mentioned points. Information has come from the pastors and from leading men in the different parishes. The reports sent in arc in many cases quite voluminous. Although the time has not yet come for the committee to make a statement, its chairman has kindly consented that some things now be said with regard to their reports. In speaking of them we would note first the fidelity of those who have made them. The native pastors have spoken out with much thoughtfulness and candor. The right opportunity being afforded, they have given in their testimony, and generally done it thoroughly and bravely. There is in their papers little or no evidence of concealment. What has been recorded came evidently in many cases with soreness of heart These papers show that the native pastors and many leading laymen with them are mainly loyal to the truth. Their sympathies, however, wrought upon by traditional and family ties, are with the forces which make for tion. righteousness. They are working in their And once again, those who thus give way, and some very bravely, against these the reins to the appetites are apt to become evils.

The period of holiday festivities is one of peculiar strain upon virtue and selfcontrol and in many communities, but especially so in this country where so many nationalities with a low standard of morals, and dissipated habits are brought closely together in all the relations of life. Any unusual excitement, like the political strife over the coining election, carries wide spread demoralization. In fact, any thing that causes a relaxation of active moral forces or takes men away from their reach, must work great harm to this peculiar people among whom we labor. One of our worst enemies and the most potent for evil is strong drink, and until its use in this fair land can be better controlled we have little to hope for, in the permanent uplift of this people. The ignorant, the depraved, and the heathen portions of this community must be raised to a higher level or they will sink still lower and drag many from the higher classes with them. It is a matter that deeply concerns all, and in which all respectable citizens, especially the professed followers of the Saviour of men should show a lively inteiest, and unite with a firm heaven born purpose to drive the monster-curse from our shores.

Some are detained at home by reason of sickness, others have gone abroad to obtain renewed health and enjoy a well earned rest. The return of these absent ones will give us cheer and gladness.

"The fact is, in my judgment, you canuntil you have been filled with the very spirit of eternity; you cannot love your neighbor as yoursi If until you love God with all your heart. All your fire must come from the sun." "I feel that to be true, Mr. Bell." "It is true, my boy, and yet the 'Elsmere' party cannot or will not see it. They do not know that whenever they attempted to do good they were actually indebted for their impulses to the Christ whom they ignored. If I may say so, they had only a church Christ; that is, an ecclesiastical figure; a sort of ideal in porcelain; —the true Christ, the child of eternity, the ineffable sufferer, the Soul that carried the cross that the world might be saved, they not work for time never loved." "No," said Curfew, "and even their earnestness is tepid." "Not even tepid," Mr. Bell quickly add ed; in fact, it was hardly earnestness at all. Largely it was self consciousness, a sort of intellectual vanity, a very sensitive selfappreciation. The principal religious char acters in 'Elsmere' balance themselves on tiptoe, weigh things in Oxford scales, and are wonderfully enamored of all things German and unintelligible." "I did not notice the German," said Curfew. "Not German words," said Mr. Bell, "but German thoughts, German skepticisms, German indigestions." The German has a curious way of making the simplest things look grand and deep and mystical. His walking-stick is the stem of creation. His pipe is the center of the solar system. His consciousness is the birth-sphere of God Fven sincerity itself may get lost in the mazes of the German language. The irritating part of the whole business, if one cared to get irritated about it, is that when England is taking up some new German the. ry, Germany itself has thrown it away as a mistake, and set up another theory as an idol. England seems to like the cast-off clothes of intellectual Germany. All the 'Elsmere' squad are dressed in German rags."— Curfewfessell.
