The manifest mercies of the year are such as to awaken devout and admiring thankfulness to God, who has supplied, defended, prospered and blessed this favored land. The year opened with a deep sense of political disquiet. It closes with restored confidence. In financial affairs, it has been a period of exceptional prosperity. In no year has the sugar crop been so large, or the profits so great. While a shadow rests upon our future, owing to loss of our advantage as to duties formerly enjoyed, we are still sanguine of success in producing our chief staple. The chief development in public improvements has been the completion of the Ewa Railway around the Lochs for 17 miles, and its very prosperous traffic; also the successful sales of building lots at Pearl City,pointing to the early creation of a fine country resort at that point. In our various lines of Christian work, there has been much progress. It is ground for thankfulness, that the Chinese work does not appear to have retrograded during the suspension through ill-health of our able and devoted Superintendent. For this much is due to the experienced care of Mrs. F. W. Damon, and also to the devoted and winning zeal of Miss May Green. Our Japanese work has greatly prosThe Methodist division has pered. enjoyed the able exertions as Superin- tendent, of Rev. A. N. Fisher. Our department, in its strongest branch at Hilo, has been peculiarly favored in the labors of Kev.Jiro Okabe in that district, and has made unwonted progress. It has been the deepest gratification of all that our churches have at last found their way opened to minister efficiently to the spiritual destitution of our Portuguese population. We have obtained helpers from the colony of Madeira exiles at Springfield, Illinois. Mr. Soares is actively at work in Honolulu, and Mr. Baptista in Hilo. Rev. Mr. Pires, pastor of the Springfield Portuguese Church, has lent his personal aid to inaugurate this mission. Already a Mission House and lot are purchased and occupied in this city, and a tasteful chapel has been erected and dedicated. A good congregation are in weekly attendance. In Foreign Mission work, we have to record the completion of the translation of the Bible by Mr. Bingham into the Gilbert Island tongue. Our mission churches and schools in that group are making steady progress towards Christian civilization. In the Western Carolines, the work at Ruk and its spiritual dependencies is most prosperous. The little missionary yacht Robert W. Logan, has gone to their aid, and is doubtless now in busy service, carrying gospel workers to and fro. For Ponape, we are in great trouble of spirit. In the absence of the missionary peace-makers, the people under much provocation, have risen against their Spanish oppressors, and merciless war is raging. The churches and mission houses are destroyed, and schools broken up. The Spaniards are said to have expelled our mission. We can only pray for our afflicted brethren. A great work is committed to our hands. The Lord has greatly enlarged our gospel agencies. Both money gifts and personal toil are in increased demand from us. Shall we rise to the height of our privilege, in abundantly contributing both? May the year on which we now enter witness increasing fidelity and consecration on our part as God's people, and bear record of growing conquests for Christ's kingdom. 1 The Friend. Hawaiian Almanac and Annual For 1891 — commonly known as Is received Thrum's Annual. An old and welcome friend—always full of the latest facts, brought accurately down to date. The first thing that strikes one on opening it is a very pretty map of the city, showing fire wards, election districts, principal buildings, harbor and soundings, new railway stations and wharves, Punchbowl road, etc., with an index to fifty-one points of interest. There are 67 pages of statistical tables, inclusive of the last Appropriation Bill, from which almost any information can be gained about national finances, property values, immigration, exports and imports, rainfall and meteorology, schools and education, sea and overland distances, postal facilities, taxes, corporations, plantations, land areas and rentals, and many other matters. Then follow eighty pages of miscellaneous articles on native ferns, native woods, fossils, land titles, ancient Hawaiian astronomy, information for tourists, retrospect for 1890, and many other topics. There are six pages on Hawaiian tariff and duties, closing with nine pages of Hawaiian Register and Directory. Mr. Thrum's long experience of what the public need in this line, and practice in accurately furnishing it, enable him to fill a place with hfs Annual not easily equalled. Rev. E. N. Pires. It was our privilege on Sunday last, to attend the Dedication services at the new Portuguese Chapel, and to listen to the sermon preached by the Springfield Pdstor. He warmed up into what seemed to be eloquence of a most impressive kind. It seemed impossible to doubt that the Portuguese language was an adequate vehicle for the highest order of expression. Mr. Pires gave us in English the heads of his discourse, thoughts fitly chosen. Rev. Mr. Pires (pee-rez) is a stalwart, benevolent, practical looking man of fifty, born in Madeira, coming as a child with his exiled parents, and in America obtaining a full and regular education for the ministry. We have also among us, Mr. and Mrs. Pereira, relatives of Mrs. Soares, who were among the adult exiles from Madeira. Though in advanced years, they are still hale and active, and can hear witness to having suffered the loss of all things for Christ's sake. Mr. Pereira finds abundant employment as a firstclass machinist. �2 THE FRIEND. Januar y, 1891. Dedication of the New Church at Waialua. ent and took part in the services.

The Central Union Sunday School led off in the line of Christmas festivities this year. As frequently before the children were asked to make gifts this year, not to expect any themselves. $100 of the contributions were applied to buy gifts for the children at the Leper Settlement, and $15 for those at the Kalihi Station. The rest was given to the children attending the various Mission School in the city. The total receipts were amounted to $250. This with contributions received for the lepers on and since the day of public prayer appointed by the King; made nearly $100 contributed for the comfort of the afflicted sufferers from that dread malady. The Japanese Mission this year were obliged to anticipate the Christmas Season somewhat on account of the departure of Mr. S. Ban, late Secretary of the Legation, with his wife, returning to Japan on the S. S. China. Since Mr. Ando's departure,Mr. Ban has been the leader in Christian work, and bis genial sympathy and business tact will be greatly missed in mission work among the Japanese. Mr. Masuda also leaves Honolulu, and his help as an interpreter for Mr. Fisher, and in other ways will be a loss not easily to be repaired. The generosity of the little band of Japanese Christians was shown in this as in previous Christmas gatherings, in the gifts so freely distributed among the audience that filled the Lyceum. The young men sang with genuine enthusiasm, and the addresses, were as pointed and effective as they were brief. Cakes and ice-cream were served in the adjoining room. These engaged in the various departwere specialments of the ly remembered wiflr appropriate gifts, Miss Carrie Castle receiving a Benjamin's portion of the good things provided. The Chinese Mission School, under Miss May Green's superintendence held their Christmas Festival in the upper audience room of the Church. The tree was a very elaborate affair, gay with glittering baubles, and bright with countless candles. Two stuffed sheep, and the lay figure of a shepherd, were an additional attraction to the children, and something entirely unique. The exercises in which the children had been drilled were well rendered. Those in the audience who could remember the first attempts, were delighted at the marked improvement shown, especially in the pronunciation of the English words, and the orderliness of all the proceedings. One of the little girls played the baby organ while the class sung a pretty Christmas Carol. The boys recited their Chinese manual with phenomenal accuracy. The teachers deserved the praises they received from friends and spectators for the successful management of the festival; and Mrs. F. W. Damon took the general THE FRIEND. 3 Volume 49, No. I.] direction of the affair, carrying it on to its successful completion, as though determined that no occasion should be given for any sad thoughts, even if Mr. Damon's contagious enthusiasm was missed by those, who grieved that illhealth still kept himaway from Honolulu, and the work to which he had consecrated his life. The Portuguese Sunday School of wnich Mr. B. F. Dillingham has been Superintendent for more than two years, held their Christmas Festival in the new chapel, used for the first time for this happy occasion. Mr. Dillingham's efficient helpers Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, Mrs. Gilman, and Miss Dower had provided a bountiful array of toys and other gifts. After several songs from the school, and brief addresses from friends present, the eighty odd children of the school with their parents and friends, had a good time over the gifts, liberally provided. The Mission School in Fowler's Yard, under Miss Johnson,had their entertainment Friday evening in the vestry of the Central Union Church, and had a glorious good time. Christmas Day, the inmates of the Receiving Hospital for Lepers at Kalihi had a tree provided, for the delight of the dozen children, with suitable gifts also for every one old or young. Mrs. McCully, who has a Bible Class every Sunday morning at the Prison, for the benefit of the foreigners undergoing sentence there, made provision for a generous and well appointed Christmas dinner for them, which they enjoyed and The Diocesan is a quarterly issued by Bishop Willis of the Anglican Church, and marked by the personal ability of the editor, who sees many things from a distressed people. ment? view-point somewhat differing from ours. The December issue contains an excellent sermon upon "The Nation's Duty to its Lepers." In reference to the Friend's criticism of an omission in the Prayers for Lepers, the Diocesan claims that the missing petition is contained in the Prayer for Patience, to give them "such graces as they need to bear the burden which God has been pleased to lay upon them." Our contention was for a petition for a mind in the Hawaiian people to faithfully employ the Remedy of isolation. This is not a petition for patience, or compliance, but for active effort—not for mere passive submission to the efforts of the Board of Health, but for active co-operation with it. It is quite possible, however, that a distinct petition of that sort would not have been well received by a large portion of the natives, which may perhaps have been a good reason for omitting it.

The only thing that could possibly endanger it, would be an unmistakable display of incapacity to govern ourselves. A government so bad that the business in white hands could not endure it, would compel some change, and might compel a protectorate, or annexation. But most of our people feel that we can manage our own affairs better than others could manage them for us. We are entirely hopeful that the good elements in our very mixed population will so far continue to maintain ascendency over the opposite, as to ensure a fairly good administration of our public affairs. Lovers of Hawaiian Independence should diligently bear in mind that whatever makes for honest and efficient government, makes for our continued independence, and that its subversion is threatened by all that makes against good government. Janury, 1891. THE FRIEND. high long Mrs. Mrs. Covington, attaining to advanced years. Of these, the youngest, Mrs. Covington, has been the first to cross the river to the brighter land. Death came suddenly, sparing her the more painful infirmities of age. Mrs. Covington had long enjoyed the intimate friendship of Mrs. Gen. Grant, begun in Oregon, and continued at Washington City. The father and five children of a Portuguese family were drowned, on the 18th ult., at Honokaa, Hamakua, by the upsetting of the boat in which they were landing from the Iwalani. A blind roller broke upon the boat when broadside in the act of turning. The mother of the family alone was rescued. A son of fourteen had landed from another boat. There is no beach, only ragged rocks under a precipice. It is only a wonder that loss of life is not frequent in landing on this iron-bound coast, as it would be but for the skill and swimming power of Hawaiian sailors. It will be a happy day for the splendid district of Hamakua when it is connected by rail with the port of Hilo, as we trust it will be within the next a sovereign Kalakaua's fault as King five years. lies not so much in a despotic temper as in dislike of constitutional restraint Hamakua makes strong call for Chrishealth has His caprices. his official upon tian work among the laborers of various been seriously suffering, and he is taking nationalities employed in that great disa jaunt abroad to recuperate.

East Maui has had a gorgeous Christmas. The Makawao Church has done its share toward making the day remembered. The first event was on Monday before Christmas when a tree, furnished by the church with fruit, and managed by Mrs. M. L. Hall, the superintendent, was given to the Mission Sunday School at Hamakuapoko. Tuesday eve a fine tree showered its fruits among the native children of Haiku Sunday School. This was given by the children of the Makawao Foreign Sunday School, who gave an entertainment some weeks ago to raise the funds. The entertainment and the expenditure of the proceeds were under the management of Miss Mary Beckwith, who deserves great credit for both. Wednesday evening was everybody's Christmas Tree. Among others a large tree was erected at Mr. Baldwin's house, the pleasures of which were participated in by the whole neighborhood. The same evening twelve bullocks were slaughtered, and many bags of sugar were distributed among the employees of Paia and Haiku Sugar Plantations. Every officer of the company from the lunas up had also a golden testimonial of the good feeling existing between employers and employees. Thursday night was celebrated everywhere by eating of geese, turkeys, ducks, etc., and the transfer of presents. All the young officers of the two plantations were gathered to a grand banquet at Mr. Baldwin's house, which was a great guccess. Friday night the festivities were brought to a close by a supper at the church, folldUted by business meetings and a social. I think this will last us till next Christmas.

But it is only on the makai side. One looks to see the attempts at sidewalks on the upper side corrugate themselves in selfcontempt and shrivel up in the presence of such a decent neighbor. But they are too dislocated—disjointed—disconnected, —too generally and specifically disreputable to feel any shrinking from the public disgust at their unseemly, unbecoming, uncivilized, unsightliness. Why does not a committee of citizens organize to tear up and abolish such a leg-breaking nuisance, which drives everybody into the roadway? Oh, if we only knew how adequately to scold about the abominable sidewalks of Honolulu, especially on King street!

Advertiser, Dec. 13, 1890. 5 Volume 49, No. I.] The complete change that has passed over England within this past fifty years in the matter of Church work and service, no one can describe. It has made its presence felt everywhere. The old question of vestures, which used to be so made a matter of mockery against Puritans, because they had great and conscientious objection* to vestures, has a curious counterpart or counterfeit in the extraordinary enthusiasm that makes the modern Anglican suffer penalty and imprisonment for the sake of a vesture he wants to wear. In the architecture of the churches there is a return to the Catholic idea in the way in which they have been restored. Then there is the vast elaboration of services, processions, candles, chantings, so marking the religious system of to day. But, above all, there is the new life of the clergy. The old squirrel-hunting parson has gone. The old man who cared to be a gentleman first, and was in the Church that he might be, has vanished, and there has come the vigilant vicar, the active curate, men possessed of the very noblest spirit of self-sacrifice and service.

The tidings come from Ponape that the natives, provoked by the aggravated misrule of the Spanish officials, have risen in rebellion against them. Last July a working party of the Spanish was attacked in t+ie early morning, and, as their guns had been left in camp many of them wen- killed. Some half dozen, including two priests, were saved by the kindly intervention of a Christian native. He brought them at the risk of his life to the Mission premises, and during the night succeeded in escorting them under cover of the darkness to a place of safety. The Governor sent at once for additional troops. Three ships of war and two transports came from Manila, reaching Ponape early in September. Then the fighting began, and the accounts given below show that thirty of the Spaniards were killed, but no Ponapeans. The U. S. S. Alliance had been sent from Japan on the receipt of the first tidings of the fight in July. Newspaper accounts say that the American missionaries, who were the instigators of the revolt, had been deported to Kusaie. This cannot possibly be a correct version of the affair, for no American missionary, except Miss Palmer in charge of the girls' school, has been on Ponape since the Star took away Mr. Doane last February. Miss Palmer cannot possibly have incited this revolt. It is entirely the doing of the Ponapeans themselves. "Prom a letter written by Miss Rose M. Kinney to Mrs. H. Bingham, and dated Anapauo, Ruk, Caroline Islands, September 19, 1890: "I reached here on the 17th. We waited three weeks in Ponape to give Mr. Rand time to decide what had best be done, for they expect the gunboats every day, and then the fighting will between the Spanish and the natives. At first they thought it might be safe on the other side of the island, but the Governor said that there was no safety anywhere, and it was decided to take Miss Fletcher and Miss Palmer with the girls who still stayed with them to Mokil or Kusaie for safety, until it was decided what was best to to do, Ifrs. ''and and Miss Foss going back and forth on the Star, and Mr. Rand stopping in Ponape until the Star returned. To save time and relieve the minds of the friends here (Anapauo,) I came on in a little schooner. "'I left Ponape September 11, and the gunboats were that day leaving the harbor, one to go to Kiti and the other to go to Ova, and there had 500 or 600 soldiers already gone across the island by a path over the mountains, and it was reported that the fighting was to begin that day. So probably before this the war has begun. The Ponapeans have made all the preparation they could, and will sell their lives and (Concluded 6.) page on �8 Janury, 1891. THE FRIEND. (THK Y. 31. C. A.

If you want to marry a rich man's daughter, or borrow $500 from him, ask him for it; it amounts to the same thing in the end. It is always better to astonish a man than to bore him. Remember that in the morning of life come the hard working days. Hard work never killed a man. It's fun, recreation, relaxation, holidays, that kill. The fun that results in a head the next morning, so big that a tub could hardly cover it. is what kills. Hard work never does. Those who come after us have to work just as hard ar we do. When I shovel snow off my sidewalk, if perchance I take a three-quarter piece off my neighbor's walk, I put it back, because if I didn't I should be doing him an injustice. You can't afford to do anything but what is good. You are on dress parade all the time. Don't be afraid of pounding persistently at one thing. Don't be afraid of being called a one-idea man, or a crank. If you have one idea, you have one more than most men have. It takes a smart man to be a crank.— Burdette.

Ropes of bark were prepared, over by petty kings or high chiefs. Anecdotes of three of these aliis who successively ruled over the large district of Kau, are still current among the natives. They are not mythical, but actual events. Koihala the alii of Kau was about making a voyage from Kona to Kau in his fleet of canoes. He sent word to his people of Kau to meet him with supplies of food on a certain day .it Kapua. The people cooked hogs, dogs and potatoes and prepared poi, water in calabashes and other supplies in sufficient quantities for the chief and his retainers, and sta.ted afoot with their burdens to meet him. On arriving at Kapua the fleet came along but did not stop. The alii called to the people ashore to go back to the next landing towards South Point. They resumed their burdens and retraced their steps to this place, the king proceeding by sea. At this place they were told to go on still further to another landing. This was repeated several times and they were finally told to climb the steep pali and meet the king at Kaalualu around and east of South Point. The people were tired, footsore and hungry from their wearisome travel over the lava and determined upon a different reception to their alii from what he expected. They said "we will teach these chiefs a lesson not to wear us out with their capricious whims. We are hungry and we will eat the food and give him another article of diet instead." So they sat down and ate up the food and filled the ti-leaf containers with stones and proceeded to near the coast and sat on a slight hill to await the coming of the chief and his party. He landed and proceeded up the ascent to receive his hookupu (tribute of food). When near, the people stood up and, taking the stones from the containers, threw them at the King and his retainers saying, "Here is your pig," "Here is your dog," "Here are your potatoes," etc., and Koihala was killed. The stone, a short way on the road from Kaalualu to Waiohinu is still pointed out as the exact spot where Koihala—the exacting tyrant —met his death. Another chief, Kahaikalani, was told by the priests that he must build a heiau, or temple, on the summit of one of those abrupt hills or craters which lie in the rear of the present Hilea Plantation. The people, men, women and children were all called out to perform this task. Stones in large quantities had to be carried up the steep hill to the summit. When the temple was completed, a certain large tree growing on the land below had to be felled and dragged up to the summit, there to be made into an idol for the temple. On the top of the hill was a dense forest, but none of these gel of the mind; the magic wand of memory; the splendid enginery of will; the witchery of love; the pure, bright flame of God's spirit gleaming at the center of all other powers, and lighting up the mighty galleries of mind—all these are royal gifts that all were meant to share.. But out yonder on Chicago streets well nigh five thousand shops are licensed to sell the poisons that darken every window of this temple built by God and lighted by the Holy Ghost. And the Woman's Temple, whose corner-stone we are so soon to lay, is reared because the noblest temple in God's universe is marred and blackened, shaken and shattered by the saloon poison that sickens every sense along the streets of all the world." "The man who drinks dese* crates the holiest temple in the universe. The man who sells intoxicating drinks is a temple desecrator by profession, and the Woman's Temperance Temple carries these supreme lessons to every thoughtful eye by its presence, by its name, by its uses, by its corner-stone bearing the sacred words, "To God and Home and Native Land." We append the last two stanzas of the noble hymn for the occasion "What means this stone?" by Mrs. Mary J. and the people in long lines were made to tug at it, and, after severe labor, they got the log to the steepest part, but could go no further with it. They then said to the chief, "You and the priests go to the lower end of the log and push, and at a signal we will make another effort to get it up to its place." The king and priests took their stations, and with a great shout the people made a superhuman effort, and the log started again on its upward course. When nearly at the top, upon a signal which was preconcerted, the people let go of the ropes and the log went trashing down the hill, destroying king and priests in its course. Thus the reign of another tyrant and his advisers was ended. Halaea, another ruler of Kau, was very fond of fish. His custom was when the people were out in the deep water off the South Point with their long nets, after they had made a good haul, to proceed out in his royal canoe and select from each the best fish that were taken. On one occasion the people determined to put an end to his rapacity. The peoLathrop. ple were fishing off Kalae (South Point) From fair foundations wide as love, well out to sea and were very successful.

It is to be thirteen stories high, with extreme height of spire two hundred and sixty feet. It is two hundred feet in length by one hundred in depth. It will cost $1,100,-000, and besides halls and office§ for the W. C. T. D. work, will contain stores and offices renting for $250,000 per annum. We add the following short extracts from Mrs. Frances E. Willard's address on the occasion. * * "And doubtless as God sees, to whom there is no little and no great, the rare and radiant sphere of each man's brain is a million times more marvellous than any globe that glitters in the midnight sky. The limitless outreach of thought that leaves the lightning far behind; the sweet reasonableness of reason; the brilliant play of wit; the white wing of imagination, that an- Prophetic, grand; Abide in strength, O jewelled stone!

We give thee to thy mission sweet, With lavish wealth of love complete, Nor count the sum. Who knows but on this altar-place May shine the glory of His face, When Jesus comes. There is an eternal beauty on the faces of some women whom a rough world may call homely; though their features may contradict all the laws of physiognomy, yet they have graces of soul that will keep them attractive for time and glorious through eternity. In the buried city of Pompeii was found the form of a woman, who instead of instant flight had stopped to gather up her jewels. She saved neither jewels nor life. Just so, how many try to get both earth and heaven, and lose both. �10 THE FRIEND. Faith Inspirers.—The greatest service which any man can render to his fellows is to inspire them with faith in themselves, to make them believe that they are capable of the. highest things, to fill them continually with that deep confidence which springs, not from overestimate of self, but from a tremendous hold on fundamental principles, an unconquerable faith in noble and worthy causes. livery man who has not utterly wrecked himself may know that he was born for the best things. To hear this inner voice and follow it, to make aspiration, not a dream which lies like a sunset light on the horizon, but a quenchless star which burns forever before one's confident feet, is to put one's self in the line of the noblest success. There are men and women whose whole atmosphere is critical, skeptical, and depressing; there are others out of whom confidence is breathed, and from whom strength goes forth unconsciously to themselves. They always appeal to that which is noblest in their fellows ; they always inspire their fellows with new hope and fresh courage. There is no joy in life so great as to be one of these faith-inspirers, to have this sub lime health of spirit which makes the very hem of one's garment healing, and diffuses courage, hope, and faith like an atmosphere through the world.—Christian Union. The Christianity of Christ—if only we could recover it—"pauses in life's pleasures to count its many tears," and "hides not itself," however disguised in rags and misery, "from its own flesh ," The bigger the work, the greater the The whole-hearted striving and wrestling with Difficulty; the laying hold, with firm grip and level head and calm resolution, of the monster, and tugging and toiling and wrestling at it to-day, to-morrow and the next until it is done; it is the soldier's creed of forward, ever forward; it is the man's faith that for this task he was born.
