A Cover Ewa Plantation H.>n<tubnli Bluffs JJ ***J ***' *** What Amusements Does It Befit Christians to Abstain From? Mr. Sayford has brought this question into prominence. We never knew of a successful Revivalist who did not hold very pronounced opinions on this subject. Revivals do not go well along with dancing parties and theatrical shows. The whole atmosphere of the latter seems to be antagonistic to and subversive of religious enthusiasm, and high spiritual elevation. We think that the private experience of individual Christians will be found to agree in the fact that any free indulgence in exciting pleasures is very unfavorable to communion with God and to the efficient power of the Holy Spirit upon the soul. The two things can not be made to harmonize, any more than a school girl can hold her place in her classes, when she is attending balls and theaters. Indeed, the same is true of about all the serious and earnest work of life in every departmenft Those who apply themselves to such work, and who succeed in it, cannot indulge much in social gayeties. The pursuit of eternal life is the most serious and arduous business that a huIt is man being can engage in. * race—a wrestling—a warfare. Sin and Satan are to be conquered. For this, the most strenuous, steadfast effort, and watchfulness are essential. We cannot play with such a business. The whole power and virtue of the soul must come forth in following after Christ and bearing his cross. It is for this reason that dancing Christians, card-playing, horseracing, theatrical Christians are very unfavorably placed for getting or keeping a place in the heavenly race. The question, you see, is not whether JUNE, 1890. Number 6. such amusements are in their nature has attracted to himself a large share in wrong, or tending to immorality.

We are called to record the decease of this dear and honored mssionary father, with a very tender personal regard, as well as a profound sense of the irreparable loss suffered by the Fonape mission. Our beloved brother Doane went to his heavenly rest from the house of Rev. Dr. Hyde of this city, on Thursday May 15th, after an illness of nearly three months, the greater part of which time was spent in voyaging upon the Morning Star. Although reaching Honolulu in a very prostrated condition, he seemed to rally a good deal after reaching the comfort and rest of Dr. Hyde's home, and as we expressed the hope in our May issue, appeared likely to improve. The force of his complicated maladies, however, soon reasserted itself and he gradually sank away. He retained consciousness and calmness to the end, full of peace and serenity, with a very loving smile of welcome to each friend. Mr. Doane was within a few days of seventy years of age. He had been thirty-six years in missionary service under the American Board, most of it spent in the Caroline and Marshall Islands, and nearly twenty years of it in the island of Fonape. The last three years had been peculiarly severe and wearing. Especially laborious was the last year, owing to the absence or death of all his associates, until broken down by pressure of work and advancing age, he fell ill in February, while visiting outlying island parishes on the Morning Star. We find Mr. Doane's early record in the following dates: Born at Tompkins- ville, Staten Island, N. V., May 30, 1820. Removing in childhood to the West, he professed religion at Niles, Michigan, in 1839. Fitting for college at Quincy Mission Institute, he graduated at Illinois College, Jacksonville, in 1848, and at Union Theological Semin- ary, N. Y. in 1852; was ordained missionary February 26, 1854; was married May 13, 1854 to Miss Sarah Wells Wilbur. He embarked for the Pacific at Boston, June 4, 1854, arriving at Lahaina, October IV, 1854, and at Ponape, February 6, 1855, where he joined in the labors of the pioneer missionaries Sturges and Gulick. Mr. and Mrs. Doane were located with the Jokoits tribe, where they were when the first Morning Star reached Ponape in the fall of 1857, with the Binghams for the Gilbert Islands. At the General Meeting of the Micronesian Mission, it was decided that Mr. and Mrs. Doane should go with Dr. and Mrs. Pierson to begin work among the Marshall Islanders. They settled on the island of Ebon. In 1859 the Fiersons were obliged to leave. Dr. and Mrs. Gulick took their place for a year, after which the Doanes worked on at Ebon alone. He had a good knowledge ol the Marshall's language, taught, translated and preached in it with all his might. Quite a company of young people, some of them now araonj; the pastors and teachers of the Marshall Islands, were brought to the Savior during these years. The late Dr. Damon, who visited Micronesia in 1801, was full of admiration of the methods of this "model missionary" as he called him. At that time the health of the mother and infant daughter required a change from the very trying climate and diet of the atoll, and with the son, she came to Honolulu, leaving the brave father to toil on alone. The infant rallied after reaching Honolulu, under the loving Care of Miss Ogden, but the young mother failed so rapidly that urgent word was sent by a trading schooner to Mr. Doane. He took passage in the vessel. She touched at Ponape, leaving Mr. Doane to wait till her speedy return from some islands to the West. The vessel was never heard of again. Nor did the dying wife see her husband. She died in February, 1*62, soon followed by an infant a few weeks old. Nor did Mr. Doane learn tiie facts until the arrival of the Star at Ponape in the following summer. Mr. and Mrs. Snow removed from Kusaie to Ebon that year, to continue the Marshall Islands work. Mr. Doane accompanied them, and made his home with them, working for the people another year, until in 1*0:', he joined his two children in Honolulu, going on eventually to the States, In April, 1865, he was married to Miss Clara H. Strong, then of the Fox Lake Seminary in Wisconsin. On their way to California, th.y were wrecked on the Roneador reef, and the Morning Star sailed without them. But undaunted by the wreck and their losses, they pushed urgently forward and sailed from Honolulu in the "Pfiel", making such good time as to reach Ebon before the Star. Mr. and Mrs. Sturges were then alone on Ponape, and it was decided by the Mission that Mr. Doane should go to their help, he having already a knowledge of the language. Mrs. Doane's health compelled her to leave in 1868. She returned in 1871, but left again in 1872, joining her sister Mrs. Davis in Japan in 1873. Mr. Doane followed her thither. He engaged there in English instruction of Japanese Divinity students. Failing health again sent them to America, whence finally Mr. Doane returned alone to Ponape in 1879. He threw himself into the work there with unabated force, touring, helping the native pastors, training teachers and missionaries, translating the Scriptures, and making other books. He was full of zeal in extending the Gospel to the islands beyond, the Mortlocks and Rate, [June. 1890. Mr. Logan's great woik. It was a cherished plan of his, but unfulfilled, to establish a mission in Yap. Early in 18*7 untoward events began, and a period of severe trials to Mr. Doane and his associates, in the occupation of Ponape by a fanatical Spanish governor, with thirty soldiers, some convicts and six Capuchin monks. The succeeding events are fresh in the public recollection. The Protestant mission and churches were violently interfered with, and Mr. Doane, as their leader, first imprisoned on board ship, and then deported to Manila. Through the powerful interposition of the United States, he was promptly restored to his post of labor, where he immediately rendered the most vital service, aided" by Mr. Rand, in healing the breach between the natives and the Spaniards, after the massacre ol the latter by the former. Mr, Doane here earned the unique distinction of having induced the Spanish authorities, after landing 600 troops, to withdraw their forces, without having inflicted any punishment on the natives. No doubt they felt that much was due in reparation to him and to the United States. In all this affair, Mr. Doane's name became ol world-wide note, especially in Catholic Spain itself, where the public journals extolled in the highest terms the Protestant methods of evangelizing and educating the natives. Through the failure of Mr. Rand's health, Mr. Doane had sustained alone the care of the Ponape churches and schools for the last year. In addition to this was the burden of help and sympathy imposed by the absence of Miss Fletcher and Miss Dr. Ingersoll, which had left Miss Palmer alone in the girls' boarding school. The death of Rev. J. J. Forbes removed the only aid in pros pect. With his accustomed courage, Mr. Doane worked to the last of his strength, and fell in the harness. It was only at the last moment that he saw it his duty to leave the field, although Dr. Ingersoll had already declared him to be breaking down. It was too late; after three months of great weakness and suffering, the old hero has gone to his reward. # Mr. Doane possessed a noble and manly nature as his whole aspect and bearing showed. He was genial, of great tenderness and sympathy, of strong attractive force, of large breadth of thought, and of a profound and heroic consecration to the high service of his Lord and King. He genuinely belonged to the class of missionary heroes —men who pursue their toilsome work with a glad and holy courage, loving the souls of the people and the Lord who died to save them. He was faithfully attended through his illness to the last, by Mr. Oldham, who came from Ponape with him, and who has earned the warm regard of Mr. Doane's friends. The funeral was atended at Kawaiahao Church by a large �Volume 48, No. 6.] circle of Christian friends, Messrs. Parker, Emerson, Beckwith, Lowell Smith, Bingham and Bishop participating in the exercises. At the age of 87, Dr. Smith's strong voice filled the church in the accents of a powerful and touching prayer. The honored remains found their last resiing-place in the Mission burial lot by the side of those of the wife and two infant children laid there nearly thirty years ago—most strangely reunited. There remain to mourn for the father, a son in business on the Pacific coast, and a married daughter in Missouri. Extracts from Journal Latter of Mrs. Logan. Morning Star at Nonouti, Aug. 26, iSSp. * * Mr. Forbes went on shore with the boat, and reported the natives a. giving Mr. Walkup a warm reception. Two fine looking young men were all ready to go to Kusaie to the Training School, and were much disappointed to learn that there is to be no school for the Gilbert Islanders at Kusaie this year. It seems sad that no- young man has heard the call to this interesting work. I wonder if we have called loud enough! None of us who saw the bright young man who came with Mr. Walkup to Honolulu from the Training School last year could doubt the power of the Gospel to transform these people from abject and naked heathenism to Christian civilization. * * Sept. 18, between Kusaie and Ruk. 'Miss Palmer with her thirty three girls is much overtaxed, and even then cannot do justice to so great a work. There was an English service on board the Star on Sunday afternoon, and I persuaded Miss Palmer to leave the girls in my care and attend it. She remained on board to dinner, and told tne afterward that it was the first meal she had taken away from home in more than two years. I wonder how many young ladies at home can appreciate such a situation !. There are many things to sadden the heart in the situation at Ponape. There are now SOO foreigners in the Spanish colony, and I believe five Catholic priests. The new religion does not make much headway with the people, but that cannot be said of irreligion and demoralizing influences. * * Our voyage from Ponape to Ruk was speedy. September 20th was the date of our reaching Ruk. .They had heard that we were coming, as Capt. Narrhun was just down from Ponape. It was good to see Mr. S.ielling'looking so well. Of course they gave us a warm welcome. It was Friday afternoon when we arrived, and the Star left us the following Monday. It is not pleasant to have things landed in quite so much of a • 43 THE FRIEND. hurry, as mistakes are liable to be made, too as we are quite a little distance from tjuite a number of our boxes must have the other houses, but nothing has as yet been left on board, or at least we do not occurred to alarm us. The girls all get them. I found work in abundance ready for me. Mr. Snelling had been holding on with seven girls, in the hope of a girls' school. It had been a very difficult matter for him, but he had done wonderfully well. My expectation had been that I would probably live in our old home with Mr. and Mrs. Snelling. Indeed, I had not felt that I could face the thought of living alone until after we had reached Ruk; but it soon came to me that I must have the girls by themselves if I am to do real work for them. Without telling Mr. Snelling my own feeling about it at first, I learned that he felt as I did, that I must have them by themselves, and Miss Smith had come with us from Kusaieon a sort of vacation and health trip which was a great help and satisfaction to me. She felt strongly as Mr. Snelling and I did. So the matter was decided that I was to take the girls up into the Treiber house and commence work with them there. Ir took something more than a week to get things in shape to commence my housekeeping. One little girl was added to our number in the mean time as her step-father had just died, and she was in danger of being lost very speedily unless we could take her. The girls seemed to enter into the situation with much satisfaction,'and were very helpful in the cleaning, moving, etc. Four of them were with us two years ago—the others are newer. I have not yet co umenced regular school work with them, but hope to do so soon. In the mean time they have been learning plenty of lessons not found in books. It has taken much time and thought to get them into anything like regular ways, and of course we have only made a beginning yet, but they seem to take to my plans very kindly. What a help and comfort it would be, if I only had some young lady to he with me, and share the work and care! I do not mean to allow myself to be lonely, and God is helping me. It is a time of considerable stir and distuibance among the heathen just now. Wars and rumors of wars are abundant, and Christians are suffering persecution in having their food, trees, etc., destroyed by the heathen. When a party of them comes about we know that they will steal anything they can get hold of, and we try to act accordingly. Some of them came about while we were gone to the Wednesday prayermeeting the other day. They found nothing to carry away, however, except the dish towels which the girls had left hanging under the veranda, but they took those. Mr. Snelling has felt a little anxious about us nights, I think, as the mission houses were broken into at night last year. Perhaps I have felt a little anxious sleep up stairs, and on the floor of course. It does seem sometimes in the middle of the night as though they do a deal of tumbling about, and occasionally I have to get up and go about in the different rooms to convince myself that no one is trying to break in. Saturday Afternoon, Nov. 16. I do not mean to let so lung a time slip by without writing, but the days have been quite full and I have been trying to do other writing. I have now had five weeks of school with my girls. They seem to enjoy it very much. Wh< n I told them one Saturday that I thought we would commence school the following Monday, there were general exclamations of delight and one of them remarked that she was glad, for her head was aching with so much ignorance. They like to be busy, and one of the difficult parts of my work is to keep them busy and look constantly after their work. We have school four rfours each day, and that with the work to be done outside of school keeps them fairly busy except Saturdays. They like to do things civilized ways for once in a while, but for every day, it is too much care and takes too much thought. We get up at six in the morning, are ready for prayers a little before half-past six usually. Eight o'clock is breakfast time and quarter before ten school time. The girls are learning to wash and iron, sweep, dust, attend to lamps, wash dishes, etc. I sometimes need to be in several places at once. School session is four hours, with fifteen minutes rest at noon. The girls sew after school if there is time after other things are done. Pleasant evenings we work an hour or so in the yard, going out a while before sunset. The yard looks better than when we began. Evening worship is at seven o'clock and the girls generally study half or three-quarters of an hour after. I am learning to write with them buzzing and chattering all about me. I do not often get lonely when it is pleasant weather so that we can be out of doors at evening. I have prayer-meeting with the women Friday afternoons. This is my only outside work except my class in Sunday School. Last Friday after the meeting, I asked the women if they would like to help weed the walk between the mission houses and bring some of the fine coral to put upon it, as it was getting in bad shape. They took hold of the work cheerfully and with energy and an hour's work made it look quite different. When I told them they had done enough and thanked them, they got one of the girls to ask "Wouldn't I like to show them some of the pictures of my friends in America?" I said, surely I would like to, so we spent quite a long time in looking at photographs. Dinner hour was �44 rather late, but it was time well spent. They are always interested in seeing the faces of our friends,"particularly our near relatives. They are always free to criticize the style of dress or hair, or any ornaments. Our trouble with thieves has not grown less. There have been some attempts to break into the house at night, and one evening as we were quietly sitting about the lamp, a man entered the adjoining room, grabbed the spi< from the table and ran. The noise i I falling books from the table was our first warning, as it was raining very hard so that we did not hear him enter. We have had a guard about the house a number of nights, but it has now subsided into two, who sleep under the house every night. It is a dry, good place to sleep and they are probably as well or better off there than at home, so I don't mind, and feel safer and sleep more soundly than I otherwise would. We were warned the other day to keep a lookout daytimes also, as the thieves are s,aid to be planning to see what they can do with stealing during the day if we are to be guarded at night. It gives one a queer feeling to think of having to be on the watch all the time lest something be stolen. The thieves are from some little distance away and are of course purely heathen. We can earnestly hope that such a state of things may not last long, but at present we see no relief before us, as there is no power to which we can appeal. Saturday, Nov. jo. This has been Thanksgiving week at home. My thoughts have turned a good many times to the home friends and the gatherings among them. Such times and thoughts always give one a homesick feeling. We had a meeting with the natives in the morning,- and the Worths and I were invited to dinner at Mr. Snelling's where we ate roast duck and other good things. My girls made their preparations and carried their dinner with them down to Mr. Snelling's. The boys of the Training School and some of the Christians had made some preparations also and they all had dinner together on Mr. Snelling's porch. They all seemed to enjoy it. In the afternoon the natives had a meeting by themselves and we had our meeting, a prayer and conference meeting in Mr. Snelling's sitting room. It was pleasant to recount together our mercies and God's tender dealings with us, to thank Him with full hearts and to supplicate fresh spiritual blessings upon our work here and upon us. Nor did we forget our friends and native land in our prayers. One of the things which has been quite a great work and burden upon Mr. Snelling of late has been the building of a church here, and it is about finished now, a large and substantial building. THE FRIEND. take hold of any such large work steadily and regularly until it is accomplished, but we have always felt it to be much the wiser and better way to have them do such 'work for themselves as best they can and then make the best of it rather than to ask for help from the home land. It has required a good deal of effort and preserverance on Mr. Snelling's part, but he has his reward now. Mr. Sayford's Work. The churches and people of Honolulu have enjoyed a rare privilege in the meetings conducted during the past three weeks by Mr. S. M. Sayford, who came here by the invitation of the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. He has spoken on each Sabbath afternoon and evening, and on every week day evening except Monday. The meetings of the first week were held in Y. M. C. A. Hall. This proving too small, they were held in the church, which has been very crowded on Sunday evenings, and moderately full on week days. Mr. Sayford impresses us as A man of unusual mental and spiritual gifts. Intellectually, he must be ranked high among preachers, in his good sense, keen statement, pointed, effective application and apt use of Scripture, as well as familiar knowledge of it. While resembling Mr. Moody somewhat in these respects, he is unlike him in possessing scholarly culture, although for many years an active business man, before his conversion to Christ. He was a soldier in the late war. If we do not entirely mistake his make up, he would have naturally risen to high command, in good time. He seems like a well-balanced, sound, solid, forceful character. Added to all this, is a profound earnestness. His delivery is very impressive, generally deliberate, usually in those calm, steady, positive tones which for regular work, are so much more effective than a more passionate style. Yet as is fitting, he often pours himself out in tones of fervor. Up to the time of writing the tone of feeling in the audiences has not been adapted to call forth what are probably the Evangelist's deepest and highest moods; there has been a very great interest. The presence of the Power of the Divine Spirit has not been unmanifested. We are all deeply grateful to our Lord for these tokens of his mercy. Many of our young people and some a little older have given evidence of turn- [June, 1890. ing to Christ and finding him. There has not been any ofthat pervading religious engrossment which characterizes a marked revival. Yet we have seen one strong evidence that the community as a whole are somewhat reached—that is—some manifestations of anger and bitterness breaking out in unusual ways, showing that Satan is vexed and disturbed. We think Christians have been much awakened and instructed; —that the spirit of consecration has been quickened—that they are going to work much more heartily and devotedly by reason of what Mr. Sayford has spoken to us. INTE-REST IN KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOL. There has been a very precious work of grace going on of late in Mr. Oleson's school. It began, indeed, before Mr. Sayford's arrival, but has been greatly forwarded by his preaching. All but a few of these intelligent youths have expressed purpose to follow Christ. There seems reason to believe that a good proportion of them are likely to continue in the way of the Lord. If this shall prove true, it will be an incalculable blessing to their own race, and an inestimable help in lifting up the moral and spiritual tone of the school for the future. Brother Oleson and associates, earnest working Christians as they are, must be intensely rejoiced and cheered. It must make all their burdens light. No special meetings have been held. The work of the school in preparing for annual exercises, has gone on with fullest activity. We cannot forbear to repeat one or two of Mr. Sayford's good things. On Saturday evening, in a talk to men only, he told those who excused themselves from uniting with Christ's people, because they did not like to be in a company where there were so many hypocrites, that "it is with the hypocrites that your place will be, if you do not follow Christ!" Preaching about Bartimeus' coming to Jesus for sight, .and specifying several courses of hesitation and delay which the blind man might have adopted, had he been like many people in Honolulu, Mr. Sayford thought he might have felt that he had no time just then to attend to getting his sight from the Lord. It was the height of the beggars' business season ! There was a great crowd; he must attend to getting in all the money he could, first. But for being so sad, it would have been a delicious piece of satire upon the idiotic folly of postpon- �Volume 48, No. 6.] THE FRIEND. ing the blessedness of soul-vision in God to the procuring of pleasure and fortune. "The seeing eye, the fecline lensc, .• .r«L •. • ofr penitence; I he mystic j'>ys The ihal tell of sins forgiven, The sighs that waft the. soul to heaven." Yet even we who have tasted of such often, how sadly, do we let grace, how earthly good engross our hearts, and dim our heavenly vision! — Oahu Railway Extension. It is understood to be the intention of the Oahu Railway Co. to carry the rails a good part of the distance around the island, provided the Legislature will grant such a subsidy as will justify the undertaking. What has already been accomplished in Kwa by the railroad seems to justify the belief that such extension of the road will be speedily attended by an immense increase of property values along the line. The increase of taxation returns, it is believed, will speedily recoup the Government for such an investment. We are happy to welcome Mr. Arthur Alexander on a home visit after five years absence at Vale, and a vacation in Europe. Mr. Alexander has pursued post-graduate studies at the Sheffield Scientific School during the year past, during which time he has officiated as Assistant to Prof. Hastings in the Electrical Laboratory, also giving some lectures to the lower classes in the school. He expects to continue another year in this position. Hawaiian Mission Children's Society. It is only a few years ago that this society was felt to be making good progress, when its yearly appropriations leached about one thousand dollars. With the increasing prosperity of many of its members, its contributions have rapidly increased. For the year just completed, the appropriations of the Society were $1,010. At the Annual meeting held at the house of Mr. J. B. Atherton, on the evening of May 31st., the "Cousins" pulled handsomely together, and voted an appropriation for '90-'9l of $7,7:55. Three thousand dollars of this were for a new undertaking, for the expense of which the Society assume the responsibility—an Industrial Home for the benefit of educated Hawaiian young women. The general appropriations were increased $775. $1000 was appropriated as in the privious year to proposed new missionary work among the Hawaiian churches. $1,500 to support of Hawaiian youth in girls' boarding schools, being an increase of $300, and $800 to those in boys' boarding schools being also an increase of $300. There was also a considerable increase in the amount appropriated to mission work and Boarding Schools in Micronesia. Parties in the Legislature. The Legislature organized on the 21st, electing a President from the National Reform Party, which appears to have something of a majority. Several members claim to be Independent. It remains to be seen to which side a majority of them will most commonly lean. It thus far seems improbable that any extreme or reactionary measures can secure a majority vote. We suppose that no decided movement to oust the Ministry will be made until their Reports and the inquiries based upon them have been gone through with. We have gathered no reliable information as to what persons are likely to constitute a new Cabinet. It is said to be a question involving some serious perplexities. The elements constituting the majority opposed to the present administration are quite conflicting. Combinations are rumored as likely to include some of the Reform Party, so as to securea compromise Cabinet. We confess to a growing lack of interest in any result likely to occur. Our foreign subscribers are entitled to such information as we can give. Another month ought to supply more of interest to report, Is it fun you want, young man ? But there is no fun in shipwrecking your character; no fun in breaking your mother's heart. There is no fun in the bodily pangs of the dissolute; none in the profligate's death-bed. There is no fun in an undone eternity. The little London school girl was sure that the cow never jumped over the moon. "Not even race horses could do it, but only hangils." Monthly Record of Events.

First came the Sabbath school, Key. Lutera superintendent, Mrs. Lutera leader of the singing. Two hundred and nine scholars were present that day, and were divided into seven classes, under as many teachers. There was a class for elderly men, another for elderly women, a third foi young men, and a fourth for young women, and three mixed classes for the children. The adult classes were studying in the book of Hebrews, and the children read catechism. The exercises were conducted with interest, the entire school joining in the Lord's Prayer. During the church service, in which I officiated, assisted by the pastor, two men stood at the door to keep order. The audience sat very quietly. Mi. and Mrs. Lutera are to be commended for the ability they have shown in the conduct of their work. The afternoon service was at three o'clock. On the next Sabbath, the Ist of September, the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was oh served by a full house. There were three hundred and seventy-six at the Sabbath school.

As soon as it had made anchorage, a boat was sent ashore for the King. The avowed object of this visit of the ship of-war was the conduct of an investigation of certain grievances. May be it shall yet be seen that there was the underlying purpose of annexation. It was the next day in the early forenoon that King Kaiea and the gentlemen of the mission, together with some others went, according to the ■amnions, on board the shipof-war. On meeting the commander of the ship, the King was asked if there were any difficulties' to be settled. " No," the King said; "then are none; the country is at peace." '"Are there any COCOanutt for sale?" " Yes, there are." Then it was that the grievance was stated. It seems that a German trader had been lined $■> and one thousand cocoanuts for making cobra on the Sabbath day, and this fine had been imposed according to the law of the land. The responsibility of this act had been charged by the trader to the-missionary, Key. Mr. Lutera. When King Kaiea was asked if the responsibility of the act rested with Lutera, he said, "No, I bear it all myself." Judgment was passed on the offender according to the law of the land, he being an inhabitant thereof. The commander made reply, "It is not in your province to treat white men in this way; moreover, let the missionary keep to his own proper dut) of preaching the wmd of God. It is right to work on the Sabbath. The laws you make for your people touching this matter have no concern with foreigners. If they break the law of God, let them suffer for it at his hand." King Kaiea said: "If one of my people should go to other lands and work on the Satibath day would he not be guilty under the law of Christian lands?" "No," said the commander; "men work on the Sabbath in England and the United Stat, s, and in the Hawaiian Islands, and are not punished." The King replied, "This is passing strange." This was said through the.mouth of an interpreter, as was much more, though faultily interpreted. In the afternoon the commander paid the King a visit on shore. Key. Lutera and the teachers were present at this conference, which was continued touching the government of the island. " What then shall we do," said the King, "shall we go back to the old days of lawlessness?" And it was reported by the teachers that, in that conference, it was maintained that foreigners dwell(Concluded on cover.) �[June. 1890 THE FRIEND. 48 schools have had a most blessed influ- standard in this particular, and instead ence and will tell for time and eternity. of bringing the world up to the standHONOLULU, IL 1.

THJS T. M. O. A. - -- ife* P H. �THE FRIEND. The Evangelistic meetings conducted by Mr. Sayford of Massachusetts in this City, which have just closed, have been among the most interesting and remarkable religious services ever held in Honolulu. Mr. Sayford came among us an entire stranger but his first public utterance gave him the hearts of the people, and they were readily convinced that he was a man of God and led by the Spirit to labor in our midst. His sermons were among the most able it has ever been our privilege to hear and his clear cut, concise religious truth was greatly appreciated and most acceptable to all. Mr. Sayford is an evangelist of more than ordinary ability and ranks among the first in America. He has been laboring mi re especially for the lastfew years among college students, and we can congratulate ourselves that we were successful in securing his services even for a brief time to labor in this city. He is a thoroughly consecrated, cultured Christian gentleman and the memory of his visit and work in our midst will linger long with our people. As he goes from us he carries the best wishes and earnest prayers of his many friends who have learned to love him for his worth as a Christian gentleman and an able preacher of the Gospel of the Son of God. THE CIRCUIT OF TARAWA. On the afternoon of Friday, Oct. 11th. we took passage in Lutera's boat, called the "Everting Star," for the south side of Apaiang, and slept there that night. Early on the morning of the 13th we set sail for Tarawa, reaching the northern end of the island at 8 a.m. It being low tide, some of us staid by the boat awhile before landing, Lutera going on ahead to the house of the Gilbert Island teacher. There we staid after landing till the conch-shell blast announced the evening service in the meeting-house at Temamba. The lights were lit when we arrived, and eighty persons were present, who gave good attention to the preaching of the word. We slept that night in the teacher's house; a good house, with two rooms, one a school-room and the other a bedroom. The interior of the house was floored with pieces of boarding taken from a wreck. We had hoped to spend the Sabbath there, but in the morning the teacher said that we must attend services that day at Tearatai, for there the new King, Te Matintouru, was to be with the people, and there the laws were to be proclaimed. We made the start at 5 a.m., and were there at 8:30 a.m. The church service was held at 10 a.m., more than 300 being present. Here during the week Lutera and I, assisted by (Continued from page 47.) the teacher, Mr. Tibuere, held protracted ing in the land must keep its laws.

Thence we sailed on the afternoon of Oct. 24 for Aminarao, where the teacher John Terubo lives. Here we temained holding meetings till the 29th, hoping for favorable weather to sail for Maiana; but being disappointed in this, we returned home, sailing direct for Apaiang. Ewa Plantation. A visit to this plantation a few days since, was of much interest. The railway stopped short of there some five miles, which we traversed over rough wheeling. The first object of interest was a field of 75 acres of young cane, in superb order and condition, every hill of uniform size, not a weed in sight. It is irrigated for the present from the Waipahu pump and flume. This cane is for seed for the great planting next August. Descending into Honouliuli valley, and winding by its singular bluffs, for one and a half miles, we came to the new village of laborers' cottages, great mule stables, etc. Just beyond was McCandless' well tower. Two ten-inch wells are completed, with a most copious flow. A third is down 250 feet. Six in all are to be made in this group. A huge Blake pump is on the way to lift the water of the six wells to the level of the adjacent bluff, 65 feet above sea level, whence it will follow a ditch, below which lies the great stretch of rich level now being prepared for planting. On this flat several six mule-plows were at work, as well as a formidable looking traction engine trotting along with a four-gang-plow behind it. 650 acres are to be planted at the end of summer for a first crop. It is intended to go on to 2,000 or 3,000 acres. The arable tract is of immense extent, even below the level named. How much of this is below the natural flow of Artesian wells (31 feet) is not yet ascertained. Most of the many thousand acres of very low land is in coral The company lease all between the coral and a 200 foot level. The sugar works are in process of planning, but not yet ordered—probable capacity, 100 tons a day —diffusion battery—no rolls. We learned from Mr. Kopke, in charge of the machinery, the interesting fact that the cane chips themselves, filter the juice, so that it comes out clear, even though roily water has been employed.

It is an established fact that at a very low flat lands among and around Pearl Lochs were submerged, the sea being then in relation to the land, from thirty to fifty feet above its present level. It follows that at that time with greater depth and breadth of water, the waves would have had considerable height and force within the present area of comparatively still water. The necessary eroding effect of such a former sea way, is seen in a number of now inland bluffs, notably on the north sides of Aiea and Kalauao valleys, due to the southerly gales driving the waves against them. So also below the Waiawa church, and at Mr. C. A. Brown's place at Waipio, just west of which is a quite remarkable bluff, filled with oyster and clam shells. Waikele and Hoaeae display like features. But the fullest effects of this action are only seen at the extreme west angle of the Lochs, where the long swell of the prevailing trade winds wore perpetually against the great alluvial slope which descends from the Waianae ridge, and scooped out the Honouliuli valley, with its encircling bluffs. By subsequent elevation, the shallow bottom of the Loch became dry land, and constitutes the one or two hundred acres of rich alluvial bottom, now partly occupied by rice patches. On many of the bluffs, as at Waiawa and Waikele, it is interesting to notice the peculiar corroding power formerly exercised by the sea-spray, in hastening the decomposition of the basalt. Many portions of the easterly bluffs are composed entirely of ancient lava layers in situ, but now wholly decomposed into soil or hard pan. recent period, all the and that to be the Roman Catholic.
