The other day, a statement was read to us from an official letter to the Board of Health, from their excellent physician ;tt the leper settlement, to the effect that several of the kokuas or private helpers there had applied to him to inoculate them with the virus, in order to become lepers, and so entitled to free government rations. He was certain that he could any day get twenty men to be made lepers, in older to live in comfort without labor on the beautiful lands of Kalaupapa. It seems likely that these people, who had been so willing to live with the lepers who hire them, represent only thai class of natives who aie most careless about the disease. We would not impute such feelings to the great body of the native people. But it is distressing to think of any persons so insensible to the loathsomeness of the malady and of its ultimate fatality as actually to desire to contract it for the sake ot a tew years of idle comfort., Quite parallel to this debased disposition, however, is one found among our enlightened and cultivated .people, such as read about those kvkuas with wondering disgust. Among white men of cultivation, there prevails an evil disease called Dipsomania. The victim of it is afflicted with an oft-recurring craving for alcoholic drink which is practically irresistible. These persons, in spite of the best resolutions and the kindest in- In its external effects this malady is often even more disgusting than leprosy, and generally renders its victim a much more disagreeable member of society, and far more dangerous. Dipsomania is contracted by the process of frequent indulgence in the use of beer, wine, brandy, whiskey, and other common alcoholic beverages. A large proportion of Dipsomaniacs become such gradually in the course of what they consider a moderate and temperate use of those drinks. The appetite insidiously grew with the habit of drinking: larger quantities became necessary to slake thirst and brace up the nerves. Before they were aware, the nervous system itself became diseased in a hopeless manner, and Dipsomania became established in the system. Xow, the parallel to those poor kokuas which we find among enlightened people in society is this: that large numbers of them expose themselves and their children to this shameful disease of Dipsomania in the most reckless manner. One meets daily on the street young men of fine social pretensions whose complexion and breath show that they are habitual drinkers. They are cheerfully- getting inoculated with Dipsomania for the sake of the comfort of "bracing up." It is certain that some —probably many—of them will be destroyed by it, in a most shameful and pitiable manner. There are quite a number of disgusting wrecks about town in advanced stages of the disease, who, a few years ago, carried their heads as high as any of our cheerful young imbibers. Strangest of all, cultured parents are found actually teaching their children to use wine and ale in a "temperate" manner, yet so as to endanger a fixed appetite for alcohol. They would shudder at the thought of a leper washing NUMIIER 5. 3 HONOLULU. Volume 49. those children's clothes, yet calmly expose them to a worse disease. A friend said to us lately, "I would far rather have my son a leper, than to have him a drunkard," and we heartily agree with him. One destroys only the body; the other, both body and soul. The truth is, that most white people have got enlightened enough to abhor leprosy, and to wonder at people who are willing to contract that disease. But they are still in a state of dense obtuseness about the more shameful and disA tressing disease of Dipsomania. hundred years ago, it was considered quite the thing for gentlemen to be drunk every night. A century hence, we believe that a leper will be sooner tolerated in decent society than any man who habitually uses, or who deals in alcoholic stimulants. Let us not look down too disdainfully on those poor kokuas at Kalaupapa, so long as we show little more sense. Heathen Braises oe Royalty.—Mr. Walkup's graphic allusions to the heathen choir of King Tembinoka of Apemama, sent to seduce the Tarawa king back to paganism, are very suggestive. We have seen a good deal of such deviltries in Hawaii. Heathen princes enjoy being treated as gods or Lanis. All this is incompatible with civilized government. We are glad to say that we hear of nothing of this sort in the court of Liliuokalani, who, we trust, will ever deserve the esteem and confidence of her foreign and native subjects. The Bishop Museum.—A stolen glance into the building, the other day, revealed an interior of most rich and elaborate cabinet work, glass cases and tiled floors. Many important objects were in place, such as kahilis and carved work. Great quantities of curiosities were awaiting arrangement. Of such there is a wonderful wealth and variety. The main school building makai of the Museum is fast approaching completion. It will be a leading specimen of Honolulu architecture. �34 HAWAXIAX BOABB. HONOLULU H. I. Thin page is devoted to the .literals uf the H.tw:ui.ui Board of Mission*, and the Kditor, appointed by the Hoard is rer-pon-tible for its content*. Rev. O. P. Emerson, - Editor. The Portuguese mission in Hilo, Hawaii, under the charge of Robert K. Baptist, has been steadily growing in importance. Quite a congregation and Sabbath School have been gathered. It has been decided that this mission must have a habitation and a name. A lot must be purchased and a chapel erected. Some $1,750 have been raised for the purpose, and about $1,250 more are needed. This is a cause which should appeal to all who love the truth and who are friendly to our Portuguese neighbors. There is urgent reason for prompt action in this matter. Who of our friends will forthwith respond to the appeal which we now make for help? We have word from the Rooms of the A.B.C.F.M. (March 28th) that "definite information" has been received "of a further conflict between the Spaniards and the Ponapeans, in which, as usual, the loss of life was very great on the part of the Spaniards and very slight on the part of the Islanders. Mr. Rand estimates the number of Spaniards who have lost their lives thus far in the war between four and five hundred, and the natives scarcely more than one or o score." t For our April issue we wrote, " It may be said of these men (Revs. Kaliale, Paikuli and Leleo), that they were representative Hawaiians; one of the progressive and another of the conservative element, and a third was a patient, selfsacrificing missionary." By a mistake it was printed otherwise, so the point we had in view was lost. On the Sabbath of the 20th of April, M. Kzera, a student of four years standing in the Institute, was ordained and installed pastor of the church at Ewa of this island. All the native pastors on the island, with one exception, were present, and there was also a congregation of over a hundred. The examination, which began at 10 a. M., was well sustained. Immediately after came the services. Rev. Dr. Hyde preaching the sermon for his pupil. From first to last the services held the close attention of the audience and were full of profit and ol interest. The Kwa church has a good house of worship and parsonage, and we believe, now, after waiting two years, a good pastor, and if, in the growth ol Pearl City or of Honouliuli Plantation Hawaiians become more plentiful in thai region, this church which was ministered to for so long a time by our departed father Bishop has still a hopeful fu- J. ture. IMay. 1891 THE FRIEND. We print below the report which Mr. Walkup sends of his late tour through the Gilbert Islands. It gives both an interesting and a hopeful view of the work. Mr. Walkup's present address is Munda, Ills. Gilbert Island Tour, 1890. In going out without a launch it seemed best to be left at Apaiang and visit Tarawa from there in a sailing boat, before return of Morning Star for the first tour. Mr. Channon took Catechist Taing and seven of his schoolboys to Kusaie. This Taing, assisted by Mr. Boari, had had a day school of eighty in the Mission yard, ami some twenty of the young men and women living in the Mission yard. This school showed goml work mentally, but play and lewd wrestling had hindered the moral and spiritual development. After the Morning Star had gone I heard that Taing had been suspected. and investigation brought out the fact that he had sinned; also, at least one boy—like himself unworthy to go to Kusaie (when the rumor got out at Kusaie he denied it, until my arrival, when he owned it and told me more than I knew). Catechist Teraoi had another school five miles away of (15, which showed the best drill and most of the Spirit's influence of any school I have visited. Beside these schools were six others, but they were not supplied with books— thus the progress was slow. All the books had been sold $135 worth. Then I had $70 worth more of books which I sold, yet the 310 scholars are not supplied. On the tour of the Island we visited twelve villages, and neatly all the younger people wish to become Christians. Surely the whole of Apaiang is "white already to harvest." In the mission village we held meetings twice a day, with several hundred enquirers. Nearly all the backslidden church members asked to be helped. Then forty-seven others not enrolled, reported themselves as baptized, and wished to be enrolled. (Some had been baptized on Apaiang and some elsewhere, while one had been baptized twice or thrice.) There are now on the roll 550 names: of these 355 are living on Apaiang (twenty-nine on Tarawa), but only I9H are in regular standing, and 110 communed. Our first Gilbert Island Minister, Rev. M. Kaure (ordained at Honolulu), takes charge of this fold. This brother takes hold of tbe work with a zeal that I trust is the work of the Holy Spirit, and the people showed their appreciation by subscribing $300 as his support. Twelve candidates were baptized while fifty one renewed their covenant. Several couples wish to be trained at Kusaie for Christian workers. A "Woman's Board" of — over 1011 members are to send two Bible-readers to each villagr and house. The King will support the -ix schools, and has proclaimed a compulsory school law. Much cobra had been collected for the Watchman (the name of the pro- posed launch). Tarawa I was anxious about, as the measles quarantine hindered the visit last year. Catechist Tibwere had held a school of forty, standing linn; while loane, Turubo (Catechist) had got under a cloud and his school suit -red, while Betero, not intellectual enough to keep up a school, had two church buildings under way. The king and his goven •tent slack. His secretary having lost the written laws, be wished them written in his book. He and his chiefs dictated twentyfour, and they were written in red ink. On our first tour we visited ten villages, and had large congregations. Most of the church members reported themselves and their condition, backslidden or firm. Then hundreds of enquirer- wished to be taught. Surely another field white. Returning to Apaiang to meet the Morning Star we heard of an enemy sowing tares. Thus we returned when the Morning Star was overdue. The enemy was a company sent by King Binoka of Apemama—Satan's tool. The business of this party of twenty was first, to rehearse and dance a poem, extolling the King of Tarawa and a mistress (concubine) King Binoka sent him; second, to advise him to keep above the teachers, and not listen to them, or "do as I do." They arrived just after the new code of laws had been ratified and celebrated with great pomp. The laws had been read and approved by uplifted hands of the people, then a march up and down the newly graded street as many times as each had a change of clothes (three long processions.) The poem was talked about, and the laws mentioned, but the King's vanity overcame him, and he decided as they advised, that they, the foreigners, were strangers, and the law did not apply to them. Thus they were feasted and listened to, and the King took them all along the island for his people to hear of his renown and to feast them. On their arrival at the village where Tibwere has his school, and were about to enter the "big house" they saw a table with books, and got frightened and left. (These dancers were church members once, but King Binoka frightened them into dancing.) Tibwere, who had already rebuked the King, was blamed, and the King, spurred on by his guests, caught up a rumor, and said Tibweie must leave and the School disband. I arrived just in time, and had the King investigate the charges against him (Tibwere), and when he found no truth in the rumors, I had a good opportunity to instruct him and ask which he would serve, Binoka or Jehovah, when he answered Jehovah, I read 2 John 10, 11. - �Volume 49, No. 5.] 35 THE FRIEND. Catechist Teroai also made him a speech evening class, for choir rehearsal and toured the length of the island (thirty and said as he was coming to teach school, to report as encouraging. I held miles) inducing many to give up their him and his people the Bible, that il they transgressed he would rebuke them. We visited five villages that we did not on the first tour, then held a com munioi since. Out of the .". <l names on the roll we only found 247; but I I" others reported themselves as baptized by Rev. Lutera and wished to be registered. (+B7 are now on the roll of which 42 I are on the island.) As near as we could learn, about 10i of these unshepherded sheep have not dishonored their Master. Revs. Kanoho, Kaure and myself, examined and ordained Catechist Teraoi, after I I years work, to the Gospel ministry, (The second Gilbert Island mm ister.) He takes this fold, and their subscription is f'JOfl toward his support. On Marakei there had been much heathenism. Traders bad been selling the natives liquor, but hail been rebuked and reported by U. S. Cum. Agent. A. Rick, to Secretary of Navy, asking for a U. S. Man-of-war to visit the group. Then word of my touring on Apaiang and Tarawa had reached them, and also that I would make a tour of Marakei. Thus the traders stopped selling liquor and Rev. Kanoho and the few faithful members were encouraged and started six schools. Hearing the news on Tarawa, and having a fair wind, we made Maraki i in the open boat. The leading trader visited me and said they would nut sell liquor, and would abidt by any laws that the chiefs would make. I first had a service with the church, then one with the chiefs-from Isaiah's prophesy, then the next morning as the chiefs came to ask me to help them is tablish a government, the Morning Star was seen passing by towards Apaiang; so we had to chase the Star to Apaiang, and postpone until our arrival in the Star, when we advised the duels, thai had been recognized by 11. B. M. Manof-war, to take the government, and collect all firearms, ;\m] proclaim laws. and license only such traders as would promise to keep the laws. Passing this Island a week later we called, and the two services and tried to awaken them, heathenism. We only stopped one day not expecting to visit them again on landing supplies, intending to return and this tour, but in arriving on February 15th we found a congregation assembled of fully -101l and a l.rge group of children in Sabbath school. A blind man (not spiritually) speaking, said they were new, since my visit November 'Jth (he naming the date), like a tree planted by the rivers of water (l.t Ps. 3rd v.)

I was ashore four nights and over Sabbath (when the Morning Star had ti put to sea), holding meetings and visit ing schools. Four uf Miss Smith's guls were with us, singing gospel hymns.

The German Governor bothers the teachers with a "Ad tape" law about building, but their dwelling houses are finally fit ished, and a fine of 500 marks remitted by the "Commissioner" from Jaluij. Now the Governor taboos church building until he is asked by the people (independently of the teachers), which the chiefs take as an insult and restraint. Most all understand the Gilbert language now, while the scholars are real parrots in reciting verses and catechisms. Many wished baptism, but I had to delay it until another visit, as there was a schism among the teachers. I ought to have a stay of at least three weeks on this Island with 1,500 people, separate from any other Island, and divided into twelve tribes, among themselves. REMARKS IN GENERAL. The '•Morning Star" was a month or 4 weeks late to* commence what was to be the first tour, leaving Kusaie Oct. 10, touching at Jaluij for coal and using it up, in reaching Apaiang lit day s out. Then November is the time for our westerly winds and winter, when we have a winter. So while we were at Maiana, with no passage into Lagoon deep enough for the "Morning Star," she had to put to sea, and then on coming back to supply the teachers, had to go to Tarawa for shelter, six days more blowing a gale. This storm changed the current from running westto running east r ( >0 or GO miles a day. Between Maiana and Apemama one boiler burst. The '•Morning Star" was light and commenced taking ballast at Tarawa; then 5 loads at Marakei; thus on between Tapiteuea and Banaba only 306 miles, but current against us, and light winds favorable. Coal could not be spared for steaming (but the two engineers' wages vver. tbe same.) Using ten days when most years one and onehalf days would take us there. At Banaba tile '•Morning Star" took several tons rock ballast and started steaming for Pleasant Island. 105 miles, but too late. Another strong west wind came Ist. �36 up and detained us, tossing about two weeks. If we could have steamed on leaving Tapiteuea we should have been three weeks ahead and away from Pleasant Island before the* west wind, which would have helped us either back to Tapiteuea or on to Kusaie (N.N.W.course). On leaving Pleasant Island, returning to Tapiteuea as planned, was out of the question for two reasons: one, Miss Smith had suffered so much already she could not stand more voyaging—then no time. We have used thirteen weeks, instead of nine planned, out of nineteen weeks for Gilbert Island; then the four weeks detention must come out somewhere. About two weeks left and Captain Garland thinks he can stretch out his supplies a week or two, say four weeks more at most. Only two to go to Apaiang for manuscript. What have I ac complished ? I have had out of the thirteen weeks only twenty-four days at the islands (including four sabbaths) while the "Morning Star" was sixty-nine days making a distance of less than 2,000 M., less than thirty miles a day instead of 100 that the "Star" ought to average, if she had auxiliary power worth mentioning. Just one more example of the "Morning Star's" speed, Feb. 16. She left Butaritari for the Marshalls, head wind. Feb. 17th I left on "Equator" just twenty-four hours later, for San Francisco. Feb. 18th. After sailing twenty-four hours making twenty miles to Fast, we sighted the "Morning Star" ten miles to the leeward, and left them. You can imagine how Captain Garland, Dr. Pease and party felt about it. 2nd. Encouragements. To see what I saw in those twelve weeks on the white fields of Apaiang and Tarawa. The former was our home in 1880-1882, and the little children that were so cunning, and used to run and roll in the sand, are now young people working either for or against, with so many enlisted now for Christ. Then on Nonouti, the work that I became so acquainted with, in those seventeen weeks last year is moving on nicely. Also other Islands are waiting for the .same help, as Marakei,Makin, Butaritari, Banaba, Pleasant Island; then Maiana, with Tapiteuea would soon be white with plenty of faithful work, while Apemama, Kuria and Aranuka people would all welcome us, if the King Binoka was turned, or out of the way. Then the Hawaiian Missionaries now on the field, seem to be awakened to a need of work. The two Gilbert Island ministers apprexiate their sacred calling, and go to work with a holy zeal, with so many of the other teachers faithful. Paul not only mentions "De*mas hath forsaken me, but all men forsook me." A good wide awake spiritual family in the training school at Kusaie, with two of the old boys and new ones preparing for work. Then an energetic young THE FRIEND. woman has begun in the "Girls' School," so much needed. Then the reinforcement we had from the school to our work this year. Four of the boys got helpmates, which they ought to have had two years ago. Yet there is anothei side, or what we will call 3rd. Discouragements in the work and prospects. 1 regret greatly that I missed that twelve weeks' visit planned for Tapiteuea. Now I hear the Roman Catholic priests have gone over from Nonouti to catch and hold in ignorance all they can. Two of the Hawaiian missionaries on the field are quite old, and have been long on the islands and need rest. Then I was disappointed that only two of the catechist! seemed to have a call for ordination where I bad hoped that four or five might be. One of the married teachers left—Demas fashion while two of the schoolboys went into sin, and will have a term of probation before teaching. Then this Tiang that Mr. Channon took as his assistant, proving a rascal and thus crippling the school work. Then Mr. Channon failing of a visit in the group to see with his own eyes the need of and the kind of teachers. I trust the Morning Star will take him three couples that I recommended from Apaiang, as she touches there to get the revised manuscript for O. T. That training school ought to have two families and from seventy to 100 scholars in training for the 25,000 people we must guide. Then the "Girls' School," to lose Miss Smith as she is ready to do the best work. Then what is the taking of only sixteen girls in comparison with our future need for women helpers, not to say now. There are five boys that would do better if they had helpmates at once. Yes, fifty girls from the Gilbert Islands would be few enough. One item in connection with the measles last year. The Morning Star only left them at Apaiang, but a labor vessel brought them also, and they have been to every island except Banaba. Over 1,000 are reported mostly by count to have died either of the measles or after effects, 500 in Tapiteuea, 250 on Nonouti (seventy in one village), 110 on Tarawa, 101 on Apaiang, thirty on Marakie, and so on, but only two or three on Pleasant Island and very few on Butaritari. The quarantine was useless, as I said then, as they would be carried to Tarawa on canoes and on to Marakie, and then on and on. This going from island to island in open boats is dangerous voyaging. The King of Apaiang kindly offered us his large $400 boat (30 ft. boat), wide beam. Then the princess visited with us, her relatives, the former royal family of Tarawa. In returning, while crossing the channel of only seven miles and leading wind, we were carried by current nearly past Apaiang, so it took us beating and rowing nineteen hours, when we ought to have been not over six. After that [May, 18D1. we took warning to go only with the fairest wind. A. C. Wai KIT. Bishop Walkup.—The devoted and very fruitful labors of Rev. A. C. Walkup in the Gilbert Islands, during the past two years, illustrate the value of a genuine Episcopal supervision and stimulus upon native pastors and catechists. Brother Walkup possesses much experience, active force and a warm heart. He seems also to be sensibly endowed with the Holy Spirit's power, by no figment of "Apostolic Succession," but as every servant of God may be, like Coan, Lyons or Lowell Smith. He seems to have conveyed a revival work through the group, and to have left schools and churches in a lively condition, with heathen chantings and abominations quailing before the power of the Gospel. It will evidently make an immense difference with the Gilbert work during the next ten years, whether the catechists and preachers trained in the school at Kusaie shall enjoy frequent and competent Episcopal visitation or not during that time. Left to themselves, or with only an annual hasty call, they will accomplish little in comparison with what they will do under efficient leadership. We do not feel able to judge whether Mr. Walkup's plan for a steam launch is the best one for promoting such visitations, but it is to he hoped that some such facility may be provided to enable the needed visitations to be made. Crippled Morning Star.—Our missionary ship, thanks to Boston poor bungling, was never half a sailer, and never had but a few sheep-power of steam, which two engineers had all they could do to keep in order. Now that one boiler has given out, she is nearly unable to work against wind and current at all. In these days of triple compound engines and deck bolsters, such as our swift Hawaii coasters are fitted with, it is simply a disgrace to have our Sttir creeping about with her blunt lines and botchy engine: Not even a donkeyengine to hoist in her boats, or lift her anchors. We hope the next Star will be built in California, where they know how to make ships. The Prof. Huxley's animadversions upon the great scheme of General Booth are published in a volume entitled "Social Diseases and Worse Remedies." The book bears the motto, "Six-penny-worth of good, and a shilling's worth of harm," beneath which (significantly, the Pall Mall Gazette thinks) is the intimation, "Price, one shilling net." �Volume 49, No. 5.] Rev. Luther Halsey Gulick. M. D. We hear, with great sorrow, of the death of this dear and honored brother, April Bth, at the house of his son, Dr. Luther Gulick, at Springfield, Mass. He had been, for more than a year, in broken health, the effect of a life of arduous missionary toil in many lands, He was the oldest child of Rev. Peter J. and Mrs. Fanny H. T. Gulick, born in Honolulu, June 10, 1828. Graduating from the N. Y. University Medical College in 1850, and having also taken a theological course and received ordination in 18'il, he sailed, November iMh, from Boston with Rev. Messrs. Snow and Sturges for the Caroline Islands, via Honolulu. He had been married, October 29th, to Miss Louisa Lewis of New York City. After a visit in this his native land, during which he was the chief organizer of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, he left, July 15, 18452, for Ponape, where he began pioneer work with Mr. Sturges, Mr. Snow being stationed at Kusaie. Mr. and Mrs. Gulick there experienced many privations, and were active in labors, gaining most important experience in missionary work and the native character. About 1860, Dr. Gulick joined Rev. Dr. Pierson at Ebon to initiate the Mission to the Marshall Islands. Recuperation being needed, he came with his family to Honolulu in 1681, going on to the States that year. He at once (lis tinguished himself by his eloquent and tactful appeals to the churches, and was actively employed by the American Board iif such work. In the meantime. Dr. Anderson had visited these Islands. and caused the organisation of the Mission on new lines, with the Hawaiian Board. By his recommendation. Dr. Gulick was sent for to become Corns ponding Secretary, and entered upon the arduous labors of that office about the end of 1863. His labors were of the highest value, and earned the most affectionate regard ofthe native churches and pastors, as well as of his brother missionaries. At this time Mr. am! Mrs. Gulick began the Kawaiahao Female Seminary, as a small family school on the same premises, now extended and grown into the present large institution. 'In 1870 he went to the States, and served for a time as one of the district Secretaries of the American Board.

The plan of work for the year has been much the same as last year, via. To have the leaders chosen from, and the devotional work done by, the younger members as much as possible. The result has been that we hear not a few voices in our meetings, and some of those whom we only heard occasionally before, now take an active part in the work.

Mr. Sayford come by invitation oi the As sociation, hut the Churches united in the meetings which were held from May llth to June Ist. The weather was most unfavorable, as it proved to he a period of intense heat, but a good interest was awakened at the beginning of the meetings which continued to deepen and widen until the close. Hesides those started heavenward for the first time, many already on the way received a spiritual uplift that has made them happier Christians and more useful during tbe year. Our old friend H. J. McCoy, General Secretary of the San Francisco Association, came with Mr. Sayford for the change and rest that a month in our tropical city would give. His genial presence and earnest words were an inspiration to all, and an element of power in the meetings. The expenses of the mission were defrayed by special subscription generously made by our Christian citizens interested m the work. So there was no tax upon the regular funds of the Y. M. C. A. Treasury, Your Secretary organized a promising class for special Bible Study the middle of October. Later Rev. A. N. Fisher was invited to become teacher and kindly' consented; but through the illness of both teachers the class was discontinued in January, no competent teacher being found available to continue it longer. The "Week ol Prayer" was observed as usual by holding special meetings on five days of the week, and on Sunday the work of the International Committee was presented. The collection taken grew, with a little outside encouragement, to $10, which was sent to the Treasurer of the Committee, The progress of the Tempi ranee Cause lor the last year or two can be summed up about as General Jackson's negro "Tom" described a defeat his master was meeting during the American Rebel- lion: returning from the scene oi conflict, I 26 he was asked, "'Tom, what of the battle ?" 50 .Not wanting to admit the defeat, he re 40 (HI plied: "Massa adJohnson's ittroops are So seems about 13,006 54 vancing- backward. .500 temperance reform.

Sayford, a prominent had signed the pledge, only rt> be enticed ■: i • into an attractive licensed saloon and fed on fire-water, as has bei n the case more than once in Honolulu. Last spring, the committee on Temperance work was augmented by the appointment of a special committee to secure, if possible, some needed temperance legislation by the introduction of certain bills into the Legislature then in session; also to prepare a statement of facts concerning the liquor traffic and its fruits in this kingdom, a copy to be printed in two languages, placed in the hand of each legislator, and circulated in the community to stimulate temperance The committee labored sentiment. most faithfully to accomplish their purpose, but only partially succeeded. The most needed measure was defeated, for gin is prominent in law-making as well as supreme in drunkard-making. The Committee for Visitation of the Sick have called upon young men when known to be sick whether members of the Association or not, always ready to render any service possible to those in need. The Hospital has been visited regularly, and such interest expressed and words of cheer spoken as circumstances seemed to warrant. At the Prison occasional visits have been made and a few Sunday services held, but the need for work there has been very fully met by workers not connected with the Y. M.'C. A. Our harbor affords a large field for work among the Sailors, but little has been done by an)- body proportionate to the needs of the field. The Church and tin- \V. C. T. U. have done something, and the Association has given a helping hand in the Way of visitation on shipboard, distribution of reading matter papers, tracts, testaments, etc., and extending invitations to visit the Y. M. C. A. rooms. A considerable number among the patrons of our rooms have been men from the vessels in port. Hesides the local distribution of literature, 1,342 newspapers and 58.r magazines have been placed upon long voyage vessels. The increase of information abroad concerning this country, and the numerous and comfortable means of voyaging hither, have attracted to our city a larger number of nun in search of employment during the past year than during any previous year of our work. The efficient and patient Chairman of the Kmploymcnt Committee has kept a pretty full list of applicants, which shows them to have represented the following numerous callings: One each boiler maker, mill wright, plumber, harness maker, teacher, gardener, surveyor, type writer and wheel wright; two each ranchers, cooks and storekeepers; three each printers, painters, -quarry men, sugar boilers, well borers and steam plow workers; four each sailors, farmers and salesmen; five each railroad constructors and hostlers; seven each machinists, engineers and — > �Volume 49, No. 5.] masons; ten blacksmiths; fifteen clerks; sixteen hook-keepers; twenty-two. no teamsters; occupation; twenty four twenty-six carpenters; forty lunas. Through the efforts of the Committee thirty-four of the above 22!) applicants have found employment, seventeen (and presumably more) have themselves found employment, some of the balance are still around town, while the majority have probably scattered over the islands, or passed on to more promising fields of fortune. There have been many applications from strangers who came down to this country to "try their luck;" it has been much more difficult to help them than it has skilled mechanics or those who were accustomed to some kind of plantation work, the calls being principally for the latter class. Not so many entertainments have been given by the Association during the past year as formerly, for the reasons that our small community has seemed to he surfeited with entertainments of one kind and another; then many of the young men for whose pleasure and profit our entertainments are provided, without charge to them, and often including refreshments, seem to prefer some kind of diversion that costs them more but is worthless; and again, we have not been so highly favored with available talent among the travelers and visitors last year as in previous years. The two lectures by Prof. W. T. Hrigham on "Physical Culture" were of a high order of merit, largely attended, and much appreciated. His Lxcellency John L. Stevens, U. S. Minister, delivered an excellent lecture to a hall full of interested listeners on the "Countries of the Rio dc la Plata" of South America. A most able and instructive lecture was delivered a few weeks ago by Mr. F. M. English, P. A., who took tor his subject " Rome— Past and Present," and had the deserved compliment of a good audience on a bad evening. One of the pleasantest socials held was on the evening of October 22d, which took the form of a Reception to a party of Y. M. C. A. workers from California. The Welcome Committee have done good service as ushers, and been otherwise useful about the rooms, at the meetings and other gatherings, especially in the earlier part of the year. The Finance Committee have attended to their substantial duties in their usual efficient manner, as indicated by the nest-egg balance in the Treasurer's report. Upon the tables in the Reading Room are to be found two daily newspapers, thirty-seven weeklies (seven illustrated), four monthlies and eight monthly magazines, making a total of fifty-one periodicals in four different languages. Five of the above are contributed by friends, the others paid for by the Association. The work of the Hawaiian Branch, although still important, has drifted THE FRIEND. away from the original lines on which it was established. And for lack of nativespeaking leadership, according to the report just read, it remains tor the Asso ciation to decide at their next meeting whether or no the Branch shall be longer continued by this organization. The Y. M.C.A. Boys have prospered under the wise leadership of their President, Mrs. B. F. Dillingham. Some capital "Talks" have been made by interested friends at their monthly meetings. The Boys have given one pay entertainment, which was a grand success, and nicely refreshed their treasury, from which they support a boy in Kamehameha School, and expect to enlarge their missionary usefulness the coming year. There have been eleven business meetings of the Association and twelve meetings of the Board of Directors during the year. Nineteen new members have been received, but those lost by change of residence and from other causes are sufficient to keep our membership from rising above the number of last year, which was 13(1. There is rarely a time, during day or evening, when our rooms are without visitors. The attempt at a daily count throughout the year is a failure, here or elsewhere, so far as accuracy is concerned, but an actual count for single, but not exceptional, days recently made shows the number of daily visits at the rooms to be about eighty-five. That seems a very good record for this city, and especially when we remember there is a Library Building with pleasant rooms only just across the street. For myself, and on behalf of the Association, I desire to thank all the friends who have so cordially and generously assisted in the work of the Association during the past year. S. I). Puller, General Secretary. 41 President of a year since: "What have we accomplished in all these twelve months ? Nothing, compared to what we wish we had." Nothing, compared to what we wish we had. Now, in such a recurring thought as this, there is ground for deep regret that more has not been done, and ground for new resolve that we will endeavour to be more faithful and energetic in the service of our Lord and Saviour than we have been, but also ground for earnestly hoping that, whatever our efforts (weak and poor servants that we are) whatever our efforts may have been, our wishes and ambitions in God's service may ever keep in advance of what we seem to be able to perform, and that we shall never rest satisfied that we have done enough. Let us be satisfied with nothing less than the verdict, not our own, that we have done what we could. Last year we reviewed briefly our history, with especial reference to the objects for work which had from time to time occupied the attention of the Association. In some respects we can see, with happiness and thankfulness, that the good which we hoped to assist in doing has been done and is still being done; the preaching of Mr. Gulick in 1869, and the meeting of 1873, when Mr. Frank Damon so eloquently spoke, and the Rev. Frank Thompson so warmly offered us the help of our Hilo friends, on behalf of work amongst the Chinese immigrants to this country, are events of which the recollection is full of gladness: now, with the immigration of the various races which since 1873 have found a home here, has increased the effort that they shall come not only to obtain physical livelihood but to hear the words of eternal life. But, whilst there is encouragement in these things, our retrospect also brings-us the thought that much more has been hoped for than we have done,—the warning that we must make more endeavour yet, and not rest. In 1870, at the close of our first President's Address. year, our then President, now Mr. Justice We come together this evening to ob- Dole, called especial aitention to the serve the completion of the twenty-sec- need for Christian labour amongst our ond year of our existence as an Asso- brethren of the Hawaiian race.

M. C. A. of Honolulu their own. What is the Association ? Its object, already quoted, is that of an assembly of persons of various denominational branches of the Church of Christ upon the basis of their common fath, for work together. May I remind you of our reference at an Annual meeting last year to the brief statement of our articles of organization made at a very large assembly in which the Bishop of the diocese, clergymen of the Cathedral, the late President of the Wesleyan Methodist body in England, and many other clergymen and ministers of different Christian denominations, took part, that one of the great benefits of the Association was the bringing together of men of varying religious opinions with Christian fellowship ? And for what is our fellowship? It is not only for the thankful consideration of the blessings which we enjoy in common, but for the loyal carrying forward of the Banner of our Lord throughout the world, and to all people. In this sense the Associations,-now numbering over 3,700 throughout the world, are often spoken of as recruiting grounds for the army which is organized in the Christian Church. In the great spread of the Young Men's Associations with this purpose there is cause for rejoicing; for the Church always needs recruits; it must be always the Church militant: and its field of operation is world-wide. A beautiful hymn says, describing this extent: ■As o'er each continent and island "The dawn leads on another day, "The voice of prayer is never silent, "Nor dies the strain of praise away." But the campaign, endless in this world, for which we must furnish recruits is as various in its phases as it is wide in extent. Our duty in some respects is clearly before us, and there can be no mistake in our opposition to all that is manifestly hostile to an observance of Christianity. An indication, however, of possible changes which we have to encounter is afforded by the tendency, evinced in the present age, towards a personal construction of duty. When theosophy is straining analogies and testing chronologies to show us that much in which we believe is Buddhism, when even in Christian countries the supposed moribund religion of the Cresent is assuming activity, and Mohammedan sanctuaries are being erected, we feel that some special work is before our Association as Christian associations, and that the true liberty which we enjoy under the banner of our Lord should not be misunderstood or misused. In Honolulu it may be that we have not to deal with these particnlar strange parasites upon the freedom which our religion gives us; but, if we are to be — — 1891. of pure moral- hope, also, that the monthly businessity and the assertion of the right of hu- meetings may be made interesting and man conscience, we rest where the noble serviceable by a larger attendance of old Athenian Socrates and the great members, who will bring their individual philosopher Plato had to leave their thought and judgment to the aid of our world, with the glimmer of the dawn of common objects.

The Commonwealth of Australia. — The measures in progress for the union of the Australasian Colonies into one Federation appear to be approaching a successful conclusion. The Convention has adopted the name given above for the new nation. It will be a Republic resembling the United States more than any other, and of fullest Democratic forms. The Queen will appoint a Governor-General, who will have very limited powers, the Cabinet being dependent on the Lower House. The English virtues of the Australians guaranty the success and prosperity of the new nation. They have been making rapid progress in social and civil reforms. As our great and not remote neighbor westward, their welfare is of the deepest interest to us in Hawaii, and must intimately concern our own future. Between the mightiest of the nations of (ireater England, and the second of the same stock, Hawaii's future is permanently English in speech and customs. Condition of Kilauea.—Professor Brigham has reported to the SurveyorGeneral upon the state of the volcano before and since the recent collapse. This report will appear in the American Journal of Science. We have been kindly permitted to cull from it the following facts: Prof. B. was at Kilauea just before covering about six acres. The most active portion within the area of Halemaumau was at that time west of the peaks, which, as we understand it, would have been in the vicinity of Dana Lake. On March Bth a slight earthquake was felt at the Volcano House, while at the half-way house in Kau the shakes were quite severe and frequent. 'The whole area of I lalemaumau then fell in, making a pit of an estimated depth oi add feet, with perpendicular walls forbidding descent. Prof. B. revisited the All fire sji ton the second of April. Rising .mil smoke had disappeared. hot air prevented his photographs from showing effectively the interior of the pit. whose stratified walls gave an interesting object of Study. 'The dimensions of the cavity were 2.50U by 5,000 feet, with major axis lying K. and W., which would imply that the area of the "New Lake" of I*B3 86 was included in the main pit. In the collapse of'B6, "New Lake" formed a separate depression. The bottom was filled with debris as before. No word has been received of any lava flow appearing between Kilauea and the sea. The lava which escaped underground March 6th would seem to have been distributed underneath eastern Kau, producing, by its uplifting pressure, the earthquakes felt there. Later.—The news brought by the IT. G. Hall was that up to the '26th inst., the bottom of the pit had filled up about 10(1 feet, and a lake of liquid lava formed some 250 to 300 feet in diameter. This is the result of only ten days action. The bottom of the pit was steadily rising and the size of the lake increasing, and activity showing itself at new points every day. The illumination was very bright, being visible at night at Punaluu, thirty miles away.—P. C. Advertiser. The strength available for you this day, and in every moment of your need, the words, life, heart and soul of his divine Master, and as it had flowed from his lips, till age-worn and no longer able to proclaim it orally, he made thia written record of it ;:s his legacy to the Christian ages till the end of time. The Fourth Gospel, then, may be space, we could give John's. Had we at great length, reasons why we feel sine thai it ia his, and why we should know it to ne his had it come down to us anonymously; lor we do not believe that any other man could have written it. If there were ever written words so divine that we can imagine them as uttered for the human soul in a voice from the parted heavens and the throne of Clod, those words are in this Gospel. If ever one prayed on earth as if, when he prayed, he was consciously in the bosom of the Et.rnal Father, that prayer is recorded in this Gospel. Human history gives no token of any being who ever trod this world, except Jesus Christ, who could have thus spoken and thus prayed. His words, as they come to us, could not have been filtered through a century of oral tradition. They could have been reported by no ordinary, though sympathizing hearer. No one could have written them as we read them except the disciple whose heart-home was in the bosom of his Lord.— Christian Union. "The Church of the living God." Fealty to that is high churehmanship. The High Church whose essence is in the form of its ministry, whose existence is conditioned on ranks of sacerdotal orders, whose insistence is on vestments and missals, on breviaries and times and seasons, on processions and genuflexions, on sensuous ceremonies and dim symbolisms from this we turn away. In this Gospel day of love and life and power, it is an anachronism. To revive all this is like bringing back the miracle plays, or decking modern business men on our streets with the titles and armor of medieval knights. Prom this we turn away. But that high churehmanship which confesses Jesus the Christ, the Son of the living God; which teaches the reality of the Church of the living God, and the perpetual real presence in it of the life of God; which asserts the necessity of the new birth by the Holy Spirit of God; the priesthood of all believers and the kingship of every saint as children of God; and which, while holding fast its living unity with apostles and martyrs and all the saints of past time, claims for itself this democratic age, and advances to the conquest of all races and the subordination of all forces for Christ Jesus as King—to that we cleave, under its Henry banner we array ourselves. — is changeless, eternal, gentle, and inexhaustible. Your life has been a'record of change, and the strength of past days has waned to infirmity; but the Master is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever. As long as we refuse a warm fullsouled sympathy with Christ's missionary purpose, and hold aloof from earnest co-operation with him in missionary enterprise, we shall have a poor, dwarfed spiritual life, and be faithless to the greatest work that God has put into human hands. To be always intending to live a new life, but never to take time to set about it, is as if a man should put off eating and drinking from one day to another, Hopkins. til! he is starved or destroyed. Faith in to-morrow, instead of Christ, The Sunday which does not bring is Satan's ruse for man's perdition. rjst is a day lost. — �THE FRIEND. Selections. Persevering unbelief is the only sin that will prove the ruin of a soul. Daniel had a kind of religion that would bear transportation; it stood the journey from Jerusalem, and the climate of Babylon, and became even better abroad than at home. The buckets of this world's pleasure are not large enough to bring up water to slake the thirst of the soul. Hear the Deacon in his store recommending his goods, and how cheerful and fascinating he makes bis tones. Then hear him in the prayer meeting, and he is doleful enough to make an undertaker cry. The best sermon ever preached is a holy life; the best music ever chanted is a happy, loving, helpful, patient spirit. If you want others to serve God, serve him yourself; if you want others to shoulder their duty, shoulder your own. We bring Christ near to men just as we live near to him ourselves. Is life's voyage rough ? Keep unbelief below, faith on deck, and Christ at the helm. Prayers that are loaded down with requests for everything in general and nothing in particular are apt to carrylittle heart with them, and so do not rise high. Uo you see why in heaven gold is fit only for paving stones? 'The feet that tread up to blessedness must use it, but they walk over it. Every church of the living God, however humble, should be in communication with the spiritual tides that beat on all the shores of the world, and be conscious of the lift of the cosmic forces that rule in heavenly places. All the victorious forces of the uni verse are in league with the child of God and with the Church of God. If men had temptations only to great sins, few would begin to indulge in sin. It is the daily fight with little sins that accustoms them to defeat. Those are the best Christians who are more careful to reform themselves than to censure others. The daily round of humblest duties is full of probation and discipline. HAWAIIAN HARDWARE CO.. LIMITED, - - SmaCKlLs' II.VNK. Oil-. HARDWARE, CROCKERY, GLASSWARE, . ..
