The one was of a humble but devout Gilbert Islander, Mr. Moses Kaure, ignorant of the great world, but not unlearned in the Scriptures. The other was the ordination as an Evangelist of Mr. Jiro Okabe, a bright and educated Japanese, whose labors as an evangelist to his countrymen in Hilo have already been marvellously blessed. It is noteworthy that each of these is the firsCcase of an ordination in these islands from one of either nationality. They betoken the growing relations of the Christian Churches in Hawaii not only to the already successful evangelization of the humble dwellers on the midPacific atolls, but also to the wonderful spread of Gospel light in imperial Japan. Our American citizens met this year in the Opera House on the Glorious Fourth, and heard an address from the Hon. John L. Stevens, American Minister Resident, which received general applause. Two marked features of this address were, a very forcible insisting on Religious culture and Sabbath observance as indispensable to the prosperity of the State; and, secondly, an impressive setting forth of the certainty that F.uropean influence in the Pacific must speedily give place to the exclusive control of America and Australia, the great and rapidly growing civilized nations bordering on this Ocean, also pointing out how the attitude of the U. S. had been one of absolute friendliness, and non-interference with island autonomy. The presentation of these points was felt to be most timely and judicious. At the election on the 9th to fill the Noble Cummings, C. O. Berger was elected by 971 votes to 535, over Alexander Young. This was to be expected, the National party being in the flush of their triumph in ousting the Reform Cabinet. The total vote was 214 less than at the general election in Hawaiian Mormons in distress at Salt February.

THE FRIEND. 58 earnest men and women devoted to what is pure and worthy, lovely and good. Such an army of workers ought to go far to make up for the departure from among the Hawaiian people of the forty missionary fathers and their wives who once radiated light upon all the darkness of the land. The system of Common Schools planted by these fathers has grown into a great and spreading tree. We felicitate the Board of Education upon the success of their active fostering care. The Oahu Railway, which is becoming essential in festivities, was employed by the beneficent President of the Board to carry the teachers on Saturday to Honouliuli, and a bountiful picnic at Remon Grove. boat, he caused himself to be untaboocd, that he might be at liberty to shade himself from the sun under a tent or umbrella. His costume was not very brilliant; it consisted of a short bluejacket, with a narrow edging of gold lace, a pair of green pantaloons, and a black straw hat. He was very careful of his grand costume. The King was the last who embarked ; and we remarked that on entering the canoe, he rubbed his nose very hard against that of the Queen Dowager, and that they both shed tears. His vessel headed the procession; our boat followed next; and behind us were two double canoes, and four or five single ones, on board of which were several persons of distinction.

During the ceremony embarked ; but before he entered the the King called for his pipe and began . to smoke. The queens were astonished at the brilliant costume of the priest, and at the beauty of the image of the Virgin on the altar, requesting that they might be permitted to kiss it; they also frequently asked for something to drink, which we could not refuse them ; this put them in good humor, for the length of the ceremony appeared to have tired them. They examined the ship with great curiosity, and even went down to our cabins, giving us to understand how happy they thought us in having such elegant and convenient little beds. Refreshments were served in profusion to all the company; our commander invited the principal officers to a collation, while we were very well satisfied to remain with theladies; amongthem was the charming Kaoo-Onori (Kekauonohi), who together with the other princesses, was excluded from the King's table. After having exchanged some presents with M. Freycinet, ihe minister Pitt took his leave, and furnished with his passport to paradise, went home to his seven wives, and to sacrifice to his idols." Capt. F'reycinet's account of the same transaction is as follows: "In a visit which Karaimoku had made the evening before on board of the "Uranie", the costume of our chaplain attracted his attention; on being informed of the functions of this ecclesiastic, he told him that for a long time he had desired to be a Christian, and that he prayed him therefore to be pleased to baptize him; that his mother on her death-bed had received this sacrament, and had recommended him to submit himself to this ceremony as soon as he should find opportunity. [Note. —It should be remembered that Jean Rives, a notorious liar, acted as interpreter on this occasion.] M. the AbW dc Quelen received his request with joy, and it was decided between us that they should proceed with the ceremony immediately after my return from the council of the King. As I was preparing to return on board Rihoriho told me that he desired to be present with his court at the ceremony, which we were going to celebrate. I sent him for that purpose my barge, and we soon saw him appear, accompanied by five queens, his wives, by Kauikeaouli, his brother, from six to seven years of age, and by the princess Kaahumanu; a large fleet of single and double canoes, filled with men and women, composing his court, followed near. The King was dressed in a blue hussar's vest, laced with gold, with large colonel's epaulets; one of his officers carried his sabre; another his fan, two others carried huge "tromblons" or blunderbusses, a fifth finally his pipe, which he was to keep lighted for him. On his arrival, I saluted the monarch with a salute of eleven guns.

Of this we find about $700 applied to work in Micronesia. For the coming year, a liberal expansion of the work has been planned, and the increased sum of $1,658 appropriated, $700 of it for Micronesian work, $4-50 for Chinese work here, and $100 for work among the Portuguese. Adding $500 disbursed by the Gleaners and Lima Kokua, makes about $2,150 as the cash results for Missionary purposes of the Woman's Board and its adjuncts. In reality, this is only a fraction of what this noble band of Christian women are really accomplishing, The stimulus which their consecrated spirit imparts to our churches is deeply felt, and bean fruit in many munificent gifts made by nun of means to the work of education and evangelization, as well as by some of the ladies, like the venerable Mrs. Rice, who give unstintedly of the income they receive, outside of the treasury of the W. B. M. This Society is a great power for earnest living, working, and giving, in these Islands. Its monthly meetings are rich and precious- seasons of enthusiastic conference. Now and then missionary ladies in transit from Micronesia, Burmah, China, Japan or Core* electrify them with wonderful missionary experiences. Probably no other organization here more effectively focuses the Christian love and zeal of the Pacific world. Indecision is never good for a man, nor manly; least of all, is indecision about religion manly. Are our consciences against us ? let us lly from those tilings of which our consciences are afraid to the mercy of God. Is the past against us? let us fly from it now to the yet innocent present which he still allows us; to the happy and holy future which he may yet enable us to attain; to the glorious eternity whereof the golden gates are as yet unbarred and are flung as widely open to the penitents as to the saints.— Canon Fairar. Just at this time when the sanctity of our day for rest and worship is being threatened we all will do well to take counsel of God's word, —"If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable, and shall honor Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words, then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord, and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee wijh the heritage of Jacob thy father, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.' 1 Is. 58:13, 14. �60 Mrs. Julia Sherman Mills Damon.

Last Saturday, in the old home parlor where her friendly greeting had so often added cheer to Dr. Damon's hearty welcome, we found what is left of her here -the earthly part in its sad casket, arrived from its long journey homewards. This we helped on the Sabbath to commit to its earthly resting place, assured that the freed Spirit had joyfully winged her way to the home with Christ. A great concourse filled the church. Julia Sherman Mills was born October 1818, in Torringford, Conn., the home for 64 years of her eminent grandfather, the Rev. Samuel Mills, until his death in 1833, at the age of 95 years. The remarkable character and gifts of "Father Mills" are immortalized in "Sprague's American Pulpit." Miss Mills' father, Jeremiah, was the fourth son of Father Mills. It is noteworthy that he was for some time the teacher of Henry Obookiah, whose remarkable Christian experience and death led so directly to the establishment of the Mission to the Sandwich Islands. Also that the distinguished Rev. Samuel J. Mills, the seventh son, appears to have originated the first proposition to establish this Mission. It was also his efforts more than those of any other person which led to the creation of the American Board. Thus through both her Uncle and her Father was Julia Mills connected with the inception of this Mission. The residence of her youth was mainly at Natick, Ct. She was orphaned of both parents, at the age of fourteen. United in marriage to Rev. Samuel Chenery Damon, Oct. 6, 1841, she ar- rived the following spring in Honolulu, thenceforward her home. Of the social and religious life of this city, Mrs. Damon became a most important component part. The Chaplaincy on Chaplain Street, became under her ministration, a place of constant, simple, cordial hospitality, which multitudes of guests will ever remember, both travellers from abroad, visitors from our Pacific merchant and whaling fleets, and missionaries in transit, and from other islands. That open parlor was always [August, 1890 THE friend. a place of warm and homelike welcome, while the table in the next room was almost never without one or more guests, often those sojourning in the house. Mrs. Damon was always a great so cial power in this community. This was due in part to a somewhat impressive and influential personality, in part to her high New England breeding, and especially to her elevation uf moral and religious nature. She was one in whose character and judgment both, every one greatly trusted. To these was added a rare efficiency for practical work of every kind. These qualities easily determined her place as a leader socially in Honolulu. Her Christian character was always high and strong. As compared with that of her eminent husband, it partook less of deep emotional experience, its force lying in the direction of conscience, earnest practical consecration, and a ruling sense of duty to the Lord and to fellow-men. She was especially a woman full of good works; one given up in heart, thought and act to nobly efficient service in behalf of all. Mrs. Damon found an especial sphere of activity in aid and direction to the needy and suffering. She lias from the beginning been the chief moving and directing spirit of that most helpful institution, the Stranger's Friends' Society, through whom such numbers of perplexed and suffering strangers have found relief and guidance, and of which she continued to be the President and chief almoner up to the time of her death. And yet we must render especial tribute to her excellence in woman's most Starting in her active way, to say, as is supposed, good bye to some friends leaving the train at a very early hour in the depot at Cheyenne, the car moved as she was leaving it; she fell with one arm under the wheel. Amputation was necessary. After a very few hours of suffering, with no rational consciousness, her spirit took flight from all the clouds of earth into the light of heaven. We take the liberty to end this tribute to her memory with a few eloquent passages from a tribute written by another hand. "How fair" (as a bride) "the younger generation have been able to conjecture, from the placid brow and unfurrowed cheeks upon which the relentless hand of time left so light an impress. Into the pleasant inner room, how many of the young has she gathered from time to time; those who were about to take upon themselves the vows of the church, gathered for a little quiet talk and prayer, 'to see if they really understood the step they were about to take.'" " Who will ever know the number ol steps she has taken to the homes of the sick and sorrowing the number ol tempting dishes her own hands haveprepared and served to suffering ones, the long nights she has spent with the friendless and bereaved,—the rest her strong hands and gentle arms have given to the weary and worn, the cheer she has carried to the hearts sore and discourged,—and the simple cups of cold water she has offered in the Master's name. In many a home has shedressed some little form for its last sleep, and sustained the breaking mother's heart with words of consolation and love, and Honolulu sincerely mourns the loss of so tender a friend and true. "With one hand in heaven, with the other she has continued her earthly ministries; her face looking toward the morning land, has reflected its sweetness, and a spirit of gentle, patient waiting has pervaded her presence." When her sunset sky was overcast for a little time—ere the silver lining had burst upon her earthly view -as she the Father's stumbled in her way, the dark and hand reached through misstep her as she fell.'

Dr. Damon was surely blessed in the sweet home his wife made for him, in her strong support and judicious counsel, and in her practical aid in his multifarious Church qnd Chaplaincy work, in the latter of which especially, her gift of free and graceful hospitality fell in accord with his own cordiality, and gave influence to them both. In the sacred relation of Mother, her children indeed rise up and call her blessed, and in their own lives and happy homes are testimonies to the excellence of their maternal training.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Hoard of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Hoard is responsible for its contents. Rev. O. P. Emerson, 63 THE FRIEND. - Editor. At 3:30 P.M. on Saturday the 12th of July the Morning Star squared her sails for Micronesia, carrying with her such a cargo as ships are rarely permitted to take into those latitudes. Eleven Missionaries make a large invoice. We have been estimating its value in dollars and cents and we are sure that each man and woman sent will count many times more than his or her weight in gold. We are not taking only spiritual interests into account when we say this; we are thinking of the history of Micronesia for the coming years. Law, religion, morals, education, literature, government—these are weighty commodities, the costliest that can be brought to any shore. But those missionaries represent these in Micronenesia. A nation might well be grateful for any one of the staples represented. What if they should never go to those islanders; or if they should only go after long years of waiting, years spent in the experience of the more earthen things. What if the Christian teacher—or missionary if you please —had failed to reach Kusaie and Ponape, or the Gilbert or the Marshall Islands, or the Kuk and the Mortlocks—what if all their influence were done away with. It might not make the great markets of the world fluctuate, but it would change the character of Polynesian history. It would be a set back which this island race would never recover from. It would give a fearful certainty to the doom which we too composedly contemplate as impending over it. Kvery new missionary makes more sure the hope of a history in the future for Polynesia. The merchant goes there as a money maker, the marine as a policeman. The rest is left to the missionary to do, and it is an understood thing that he is to do it. There is nobody else there who can, and so the missionary goes quietly to work and does it. For this let us bless and not curse him. But that farewell service on the deck of the Missionary packet which was held just before sailing, had its significance for us as well as for the Micronesians. What an object lesson it was, reviving again the old sense of obligations, making live again the christian chivalry of the past, showing that the power of Jesus is with us to-day, and that there is such a thing as honest devotion to him and abiding faith in his kingdom. There were those on that deck full of friends gathered to worship together once more and to say their Another ordination service of great adieus, who felt that the atmosphere was interest was held Sabbath evening, July clearer for that experience.

C. Walkup and M. Kaure. The next stopping place will be Kusaie, where the Channons and Miss Hoppin will be left, Mr. and Mrs. Channon to take up the work in the Gilbert Is. training school situated there, and Miss Hoppin to join Miss Smith and Miss Little in the Girls' School. F'rom Kusaie the Star will proceed to Ponape and there leave the Rands and Miss F'oss.

Mr. Okabe will now be able, when the time comes, to form a Japanese church and receive members into it. He has already trained one man as a helper, and hopes to train others. Mr. Okabe estimates the Japanese population of Hawaii as over 6,700, or about one-half of that of the entire group. More than half of these are in his immediate parish of Hilo. More than 2,000 are in the neighboring field of Hamakua. For tilling the great field he naturally wants more help. Mr. Okabe magnifies the value of the work in the fact that this Japanese Colony comes mostly from strong Buddhist centers in Japan-centers that foreign missionaries have hardly reached, livery man of them converted to Christ here in Hawaii, will go back as a missionary to a virtually unevangelized field. The council that ordained Mr. Okabe met on Thursday, the 17th, to examine him. The vote for ordination was unanimous. The parts of the ordaining service were as follows: Ordaining prayer, Rev. E. G. Beckwith, U. D.; Right hand of fellowship, Rev. O. P. Emerson; Charge to the pastor, Rev. S. E. Bishop. The council was called, at the request of the candidate, by the Central Uniou Church, and was composed of representatives from four churches and of five other individuals. Dr. Beckwith was Moderator and 0. P. Emerson Scribe. Miss Kinney has long been a worker among the colored people of the home field. Mr. and Mrs. Channon come newly into the work.

Quite a large number of young men came to the Association for assistance to secure employment. Many of them would do good service in the right place.

Mr. Oggel was formerly Pastor of the Bethel Union Church in this city. He seems to be prospering well in his new field of labor and has recently been honored with the degree of D.D. Topics. A Gospel Praise Meeting is held in, the Y. M. C. A. Hall every Sunday afternoon at half past six o'clock. Good singing and brief remarks make it an interesting and helpful service.

Solomon's Temple as a Precedent for Costly stead of lavishing such immense cost most of this region is more isolated from upon the Temple, the king would not outside communication than any other Church Erection. have shown more wisdom, pleased God fertile section in the kingdom. The coast When a very costly church edifice is planned, objectors commonly arise who demur to the great cost, on the ground that it will bring the chinch into debt; that it will overtax its resources, and that it will cripple its be in. licence. They also aver that the excessive cost partakes of ostentation, and that it tends to foster a spirit of vain-glory in the congregation, which deadens godliness and dt Votion, also tli.it such expi naive and showy — churches tend to repel rather tract the common people, who do not care to frequent places evidently di eil us club-houses foi th< i .c li ..anil not for the worship of God's poor. It is quite the usual thing to Bit down upon Such troublssome objectors and silence them effectually by adducing ihe precedent ol Solomon's temple. This was incomparably costly and magnificent- The resources of an empire were than to at- strained to complete it. And did not God set the seal oi his approbation upon the work ? What is then so fitting, and what so pleasing to God, as that his people should lavish their wealth upon the houses where they assemble for His worship? And was not Solomon the wisest of men, and acting under Divine guidance and direction in all his great work i Now we think that the actum of Sol onion need not necessarily be any guide to Christians as to the style of churches they should build. In the first place, the Jewish Temple did not stand for one of our churches, which are more exactly represented by the synagogue buildings numerous in Jerusalem ami throughout Palestine. The Temple was the gnat National Palace of their King Jehovah, where he condescended to manifest himself. It was also in B certain way, llic great National State House, and place of National Assembly. I'or these reasons, it was entitled to exceptional stateliness and grandeur, but is also no precedent at all for the style of churches called for in Christian worship. Further more, we contend that God's manifested acceptanceof Solomon's work does not necessarily seal with full approval all his lavishness of expenditure. God accepts and helps on a vast amount of good work among his people which is nevertheless sadly marred by human ignorance and infirmities. We can see how the spirit ot Solomon's labors was acceptable, insomuch as he caused the grandeur of the house of Jehovah, Israel's supreme king, to exceed anything of Solomon's own house, as deputy-king. There was a great Political as well as Religious principle involved in Solomon's temple, which is absent from our church edifices. Nevertheless, we think it is competent for us to question sharply, whether Solomon's temple was not needlessly costly. We may well consider whether, if in- better, and established his throne more firmly, if be had spent at least half the money on useful, beneficent, and merciful works for the good of the nation. Suppose that instead of putting all the money into a g>; nd, showy building in God's honor, he had expended a part of it in creating a great system of Free Schools and Colleges for the education of the people, especially in the law of God. Would they not have risen above tin worship of the Calves and of Baal ? Suppose that he had spent another part .ii erecting and endowing Hospitals, Lunatic Asylums, Orphan Asylums, etc. Would not the Lord have been better pleased with such works ot mercy ? And would not the people have been bound by ties of love to so beneficent a monarch ? Suppose that he bad spent another portion in filling the country with thoroughly good roads for traffic, and with storage reservoirs for irrigation. But with all his vaunted wisdom, it is not probable that Solomon, or any of his engineers knew how to make a really good road, or ever saw one. On the whole, we think the less we go to Solomon for precedents in either Ecclesiastical or Political Economy, the less likely we shall be to fall into serious mistakes. Solomon's kingdom fell to pieces, almost before he was cold in his grave. Let us aim to honor Christ, by building up for him in this nation strong anil living churches of enlightened and holy people of all the races dwelling here. Such are the buildings that God delights in. We think that -this false precedent from the Jewish Temple has done only less harm in the matter of Church buildings than the precedent of the Jewish Hierarchy has done in the matter of Church organization and ordfer. The one calls for Cathedrals, the other for Popes and Bishops. The Hilo and Hamakua Railway. ■Mr. Dillingham's established success in creating the Ewa Railway, has led to the revival of the Hilo Railway project, originally planned by the late Hon S. G. Wilder. An application is now before the Legislature for a moderate subsidy, and guarantee of interest on the bonds. There can be little doubt that the creation of this railway at the present time will depend entirely upon such government aid being granted. We think we have never known of an enterprise of this kind more eminently entitled to such aid. The tract of country to be opened by this railway is the largest and noblest fertile region in these islands. It is the windward flank of Maunakea, with a nearly straight coast line of fifty miles, and averaging a breadth of ten miles of fertile soil. Yet line is a continuous lofty precipice with- out a single protected cost. Freight only be shipped in the smoothest weather, and then generally by ire.ins of slides and derricks, Numbers of deep ravin s render any distant land transport impossible. North Hilo and Hamskua are thus practically isolated. Planters and settles occupy tins region under great difficulties, although in climate, fertility, ami beauty of scenery, unsurpassed In any other district. The railroad crossing these ravines, anil connecting all its dissevered sections with each other anil with the (then to be) City of Hilo. will change all the unfavorable conditions, and under tins the wealthiest s< etion in the kingdom. The question placed before the Legislature is. cleßrly, whether or not, by moderate and reasonable aid, at once, to create ibis immense increase ol population and of property. It is obvious that the subsidies granted must be in a short period returned intt the Treasury by the in crease of taxable property. When the llamakua railway becomes an actual fact. Hilo will enjoy the peculiar distinction as a city in these islands, of having an extensive back country to BUBply and be supplied by. Should, however, the Oahu Railway be extended around through Koolau, a considerable breadth of fertile territory will be put in easy reach of Honolulu. Our city will then emulate Hilo in the possession of a good endowment of backcan countiy. Oahu Railway.—Regular trains commenced running two weeks since to Ho nouliuli, live miles beyond Pearl City. Half a mile this side of the wells, the main track branches southward and then westward ; it is mostly graded for two miles towards the site of the Mill works. The rails will soon be laid, and freight delivered on the upper lands. The Railway is actively pushing forward large quantities of freight to meet the wants of the new Plantation. It costs more to revenge to bear them. injuries than The blacksmith is a man of metal; but the carpenter is a plane man. Do not persecute the unfortunate, as it is throwing stones on one fallen into a well. The most scandalous divorce cases have often started from little infelicities. The smashed and telescoped train began by getting one inch off the track. There are churches in Messina so dirty that if you go into them, you will repent in dust and ashes.

The ideal life is a concentrated life. He that glories in his sin, glories in his shame. Nothing is so reasonable and cheap as good manners. He who gives pleasure meets with it; he who sows not, reaps not. Nature is no Quaker. Every spring she dons the gayest attire. Every married man should keep his wife's husband out of the saloons. Flatter not thyself in thy faith to God, if thou wantest charity for thy neighbor. Trust not great weights to slender threads; commit all your secrets to no man. Hope is itself a species of happiness, and one of the most common the world affords. People who always say just what they think, somehow seem almost always to be thinking disagreeable things. Flowers are the angels of the grass. Their voices are soft. When they speak, they whisper. Religion is not a hearse to carry out the dead; but a chariot in which the living are to ride triumphant. Religion presents few difficulties to the humble, many to the proud, insuperable ones to the vain. \ good inclination is but the first rude draught of virtue; but the finishing strokes are from the will, which if well disposed, will by degrees perfect. Though the rain keeps thousands away from church on Sundays, it does not deter a single man from attending to his business on week-days. Sin is never at a stop; if we do not retreat from it, we shall advance in it, and the further we go the more we have to come back. When the man has not the slightest intention that the answer should influence his conduct, why should he inquire whether there be a God or not ? All Christians must work; what would happen in the battle if only the officers fought ? Stronger than steel Is the sword of the spirit; Swifter than arrows The life of the truth is; Greater than anger Is love, and abideth ! It is a comfort to us that we serve a Master who is willing to make the best of us. Do you want to help your fellowmen? Be so good a man that they cannot help catching goodness from you. Politeness is for a man what beauty is for a woman. It creates an instantaneous impression in his behalf, while opposite qualities work as a prejudice against him. Creed Revision. — The Presbyterian T B. CASTLE, Church is now agitated about its creed. Some good men in it are for keeping it COMMISSION MERCHANT, because it was framed from the belief of t'artwrighl RuildiiiL,, Men haul Street, Off John Calvin. Other good men in it lam with neither party. Instead of revision I want substitution. I was sorry to have the question disturbed at all. The creed did not hinder us from offering the pardon and the cmfort of the Gospel to all men, and the Westminster Confession has not interfered with me one minute. But now that the electric lights have been turned on the imperfections of that creed—and everything that man fashions is imperfect—let us put the old creed respectfully aside and get a brand new one. It is impossible that people who lived hundreds of years ago should fashion an appropriate creed for our times. John Calvin was a great and good man, but he died 3'2G years ago. The best centuries of Bible, study have come since then, and explorers have done their work: and you might as well have the world go back and stick to what Robert Fulton knew about steamboats, and reject the subsequent improvements in navigation; and go back to John Guttenberg, the inventor of the ait of printing, and reject all modern newspaper presses; and go back to the time when telegraphy was the elevating of signals, or the burning of bonfires on the hilltops, and reject the magnetic wire, which is the tongue of nations; as to ignore all tri :'txcgttea and the philologists and the theologians of the last three hundred and twenty-six years, and put your bead undei the sleeve of the gown of a sixteenth untury doctor. I could call the nanus of twenty living Presbyterian minivers of religion who could make a better creed than John Calvin. The nineteenth century ought not to be called to sit at the feet of the sixteenth. T. L. Cuyltr, D.D. want revision. — ilk— Honolulu, H. I. fewy n B.
