This issue of The Fribmd appears upon the eve of the annual meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. At nearly the same time will be held the annual meetings of several other associations for mission and benevolent work. Somewhat out of the usual course, but allied to the preceding, will be the Punahou Jubilee, and the laying of the cornerstone of the new Church. The June meetings of this year seem to have more than usual importance from the fact that the Hawaiian Kingdom is manifestly on the verge of a period of great commercial and political change, calling for a reinforcement of all our moral and spiritual activitiesln order to carry our religious and social conditions safely through. Such a time of transition, however promising of possible good, is also portentous with possible evil, and it is plainly needful that all agencies, institutions and persons engaged in conserving and promoting the public welfare should be in the highest and healthiest activity. Each one should be on the alert, like a carriage driver approaching a crowded corner, or like a pilot steering into the strong currents of a narrow passage. All our social and religious forces should be in order, like the material of an army in war time. We hold that at all times, but especially at such times as the present, the safety of any nation depends upon the decree in which loyalty to God and Righteousness possesses the hearts of the people and influences their actions. The ship tif state will either ride the waves buoyantly, or be prostrated by their blows, just in the degree that she is lifted up by loyal faith within men's hearts, and steered by righteous principles in their souls. Hawaii nei will be able to meet the emergencies of the time, and to come forth into true political liberty and social prosperity, just in the degree that her people and their leaders accept the guidance of Righteousness. Is it not then a time for the churches and for Christian men to come together before God with great faith and courage, calling solemnly and resting confidently upon Him for inspiration and guidance? They need so to hold themselves in earnest faith and iove, as to rally under their leadership upon the side of justice, order, purity, temperance, godliness, the minds and hearts of all people of the land who have heard the word of the Lord, and have been taught in His ways. We believe that God has a noble destiny awaiting this central land of the North Pacific. The pait century of wonderful providences and unique forces has been preparing Hawaii for its approaching destiny, laying deep the foundations of the Church, of pure Society, of Education, of Liberal Government. It needs at this juncture, that all enlightened, God-fearing men and women, should be wide-awake, praying and trusting, with faces to the light, souls listening to God's call, and hands ready for all holy service. May this be the spirit of all our June meetings. A Period of Transition. Such may this be considered in an especial sense for Hawaii nei. The leading elements tending to great changes are in plain sight. One of these is the change in population, leaving the natives in a minority. Another is the immense development of business conducted by men of foreign race. Another is the growth of education and of democratic principles, which are rendering monarchy less and less available as a permanent means of government, so that on the first serious occasion, it is liable to lapse, and give place to republican forms. A very great cause of change looming into view, is the impending expansion of Pacific commerce to follow the opening of the Nicaragua Canal. This will bring a great accession of business, and immigration of commercial men. Closely connected with this, will be changes in ourinternational relations, especially with our imperial neighbor of America. It has become obvious to reflecting minds, that both in our internal affairs, and in our external relations, we shall soon pass rapidly out of our past, and turning a somewhat sharp corner, shall press forward on a new course, apparently of great material activity and prosThe Twentieth century will perity. doubtless open upon us with our ship of state heading in a quite new direction. The new-coming time will make a great call upon the wisdom and the patriotic energies of the good people of Hawaii. By the blessing of God, they may hope to meet all the emergencies of the times. The Royal Progress. During the past month, Her Majesty (jueen Liliuokalani has been visiting by steamer, the principal towns of Hawaii and Maui. The people have turned out to meet her, with ovations and festivities. From what we have learned, we believe that her influence has been exercised in favor of good morals And intelligence. It is our hope i nd trust that the (jueen will commend herself by a good judgment and sound policy to the substantial confidence of good people. It gives us the greatest pleasure to state that we are reliably informed, that Her Majesty's Progress on Hawaii was marked by a noticeable absence of hulas, and also of the use of liquors at the public entertainments. This is indeed a gratifying contrast to what has been customary in the past. Our esteemed Dalbeattie poet has contributed some graceful and tender verses in memory of a dear aged friend. These words may also minister comfort to some others. �THE FRIEND. 44 REV. LOWELL SMITH, D.D. In Memoriam. This beloved missionary passed away in the early morning of Friday, May Bth, in his 89th year. He was the very last survivor from the earlier band of missionaries. His thin and aged form, still active, has until now, been daily familiar to the streets of Honolulu, as he drove about in his unwearied ministrations to the sick among the natives. Indeed for fifty-five years, no man has been more constantly known in this city. Dr. Smith's death was probably somewhat hastened by overwork a week before, when he made his last rounds. The consequent labor somewhat .overcame him, and doubtless hastened the failure of vital powers. There was lio special illness or pain. He rose and dressed himself daily, with a little help on Thursday morning. That last day was spent mostly upon the couch. In the afternoon his mind wandered somewhat. He believed himself surrounded by native parents whose infants he was baptizing. As he administered the ordinance, he stumbled about the children's names. Like himself, always pushing ahead, he broke through the perplexity, emphatically protesting to the parents, " 1 cannot bring these children up for Christ. It is you their parents who must teach them the ways of the Lord, and lead them to follow Him. I can only baptize them into His name." He then wandered off into prayer, repeating many words of Scripture to himself, as was his wont. Thus was the mind of this faithful servant upon his Lord's work, for the lambs of the flock, to his latest breath. There was little conscious speech after this, until at five in the morning, the freed spirit glided gently and grandly away. Lowell Smith came from the old Puritan stock of New England. He was born in Heath, Mass., Nov. tlth, 1802, amid that deeply religious, yet capable and thrifty rural life which has supplied such a multitude of the leading workers of the fatherland in all departments of public and business life. His public profession of faith in Christ was made in 1823. New England churches were then ringing with the news of Hawaii's cordial reception of the pioneer missionaries, and of the just previous abandonment of the idols and tabus. Richards, Bishop and company had just embarked at New Haven to reinforce Bingham and Thurston. Six years after in 1829, we find him graduating from Williams ColIrom Auburn Theologlege, and in ical Seminary. There in Central New York, he caught the intense revival spirit spread by Charles G. Finney's wonderful preaching. Following; him at Auburn nineteen years later, we found him affectionately remembered by several persons as one of the most earnest and devoted of the Auburn students. As Father Smith said on his golden- wedding day in 1882, he had " a threefold conviction on the subject of his duty to go and preach the gospel to the heathen." It is certain that his sense of God's special call to him for this work was one of unusual strength. He accepted the call with all the simplicity and energy of his single-hearted soul; he never wavered from the happy assurance and eager fulfilment of that call to the latest day of his earthly life. Finding a helpmate of like purpose and joyful consecration with himself, one of most blessed memory in Honolnlu, he was married Oct. 2, 1832 to Miss Abba W. Tenney. Nov. 21st, they embarked at New Haven, on the Mentor, in company with Rev. B. W. and Mrs. Parker. This was the fifth reinforcement sent out to the Hawaiian Mission, thirteen years after the pioneers. There were also as fellow passengers, Rev. John Diell and wife, and Mr. Chas. Burnham who came to build the Seamen's Chapel or Bethel. Mr. Diell was the first chaplain, and predecessor of Father Damon. Two of that company still survive, Mrs. Barker, venerable and beloved, and Mrs. Diell, now absent for fifty years. They arrived at Honolulu May 1, 1883. It was a time of trial to the mission. Their noble patroness, the Regent Kaahumanu, had passed away a few months before. The party of heathen drunkenness and licentiousness had found a leader in Kaomi. The young King Kauikeaouli, or Kamehameha 111, had revoked most of the wholesome restrictions imposed by Kaahumanu. In consequence of the disorders at the capital, the mission held their annual meeting at Lahaina. They located the Smiths at Kaluaaha, Molokai, as associates to the Hitchcocks, who had begun pioneer work there the previous year, and who had already secured a commodious thatched church and schoolhouse. The Smiths were housed in a grass cottage, with lauhala mats for floor, door, and windows. This proved leak)', to the serious detriment of the wife's health. But the skill and energy of the young missionary with his Yankee farm training soon provided a more comfortable cottage of stone laid up with mud. Meantime he taught singing, learned the language, and began attempts at preaching in three months. Having come from a land of protracted "meetings and powerful revivals, they called the three Lahaina missionaries to aid them in such a three days meeting," a forerunner of the great revivals of 1837-8, when Molokai shared so blessedly in the great Divine outpouring. The General Meeting of 1834 removed the Smiths to open a new station at Waiawa, Ewa, the parish including Waianae, with a total population of over 6,000 souls. The difficulties of the field were peculiar. Liliha, or Madam Boki, the chiefess of Waianae, was very hostile to the missionaries, having allied herself to the Catholic priests. Waipio, I June, 1891. near the mission station, was the headquarters of the young king's debaucheries. The great body of the Ewa people followed in his wake. In fact, Ewa was then and afterwards the favorite country resort of chiefs and white men for indulgence in their vile orgies. It was several months before Mr. Smith could gather more than one hundred and fifty of the people for Sabbath worship. Mrs. Smith, being in feeble health, remained in Honolulu until a suitable house could be built, which was not for six months; Mr. S. meantime actively organizing work throughout the district. Several good praying men and women, members of the Honolulu church living at Waiawa, upheld his hands as he called on the Divine Spirit to aid. Sabbath congregations gradually increased. "There was," he says, "a great deal of sickness among the people, and I spent much time in visiting among them. My success as a physician induced many to forsake the native doctors, and to attend public worship on the Sabbath." In April 1835 a protracted meeting was held, Mr. Emerson of Waialua coming with forty of his people, and Mr. Tinker with thirty Christians from Honolulu. To Mr. Smith's surprise, not less than five hundred of the Ewa people turned out to the meetings. It was not until January 1836that the Ewa Church was organized with eighteen members: six by letter, twelve by pro fession. This church, in later years, reached the number of "2,800 members. Mr. Smith soon after began building the immense adobe edifice which so long crowned Waiawa hill, now superseded by a smaller and* more modern church. Meanwhile schools were progressing in the various districts of Kwa, under the missionary's vigorous care and effort. In May 183G they had risen to 522 from 175 of the previous year. Of spare and active frame, and great powers of endurance, Mr. Smith was almost übiquitous from end to end ol the Pearl Lochs, much of the time on foot, or in canoes, horseflesh being very scarce. But the time had come for his transfer to a larger and still harder field, the scene of his permanent labors. In IBS6 the necessity became obvious that one missionary should be devoted to the work of education for the host of neglected children in the capital. Mr. Smith was assigned to this work, Rev. Artemas Bishop removing from Kailua to Bwß, where he found the work nobly in hand, as left by Mr. Smith. We will pause here to testify that Mr. Smith took very frequent occasion to visit his old parish; no other missionary's face was more familiar to us, or more welcome as a cheering and hearty friend, full of happy zeal for the work. Mr. Smith labored in the Honolulu schools one year. He records about 1,300 scholars in attendance in the district on April 19, 1837, with 224 under �THE FRIEND. 45 Volume 49, No. f>."| his personal instruction, of whom he heard his low tones in the night talking sent four to Lahainaluna Seminary. with his God, and supplicating mercies The next day the Mary FrasUr arrived, for many people.

LUCY WHITE PALMER. In Memoriam. In recording the decease of aged friends, ripe for departure and for heaven, our sorrow is mingled with joy for their happy release from the burdens and weariness of earth. But now we have heard of one of the most active and serviceable of the daughters of our city, reft suddenly from her busy home, made bright by her labors, and from her infant children, and their father in the midst of his parish cares. Lucy White was one of Honolulu's favorites, and a hopeful happy lot seemed to lie before her when she joined her steps to those of the Rev. F. H. Palmer, the young pastor in North Weymouth, Mass. Four children blessed their union, the younger, twins, now in their second year. The young mother was unusually active in church work, and had added to the household income by journalistic work with her pen, which was in good demand. Special sickness in the family during the winter had greatly overtaxed her strength. Worn out, she succumbed to the first attack of malady. How great must be this grief to the bereft husband and to the motherless infant band. It is one of those sharp sorrows for which there seems no mitigation. Mrs. White leaves, in Honolulu, an only brother, Mr. E. Oscar White, besides an uncle, Mr. W. W. Hall, and an aunt, Mrs. P. C. Jones. A large circle of Punahou schoolmates participate in the affliction of this early death. Gen. Horatio P. Van Cleve. Intelligence was received by a late mail of the death of this aged gentleman, at his home in Minneapolis, after four days illness with pneumonia. He was in his eighty-second year. General Van Cleve is remembered with warm regard by many friends in Honolulu, where he and Mrs. Van Cleve spent the winter of '78-9, visiting their daughter, Mrs. W. VV. Hall. Mrs. Van Cleve has long been widely known to the Christian public through her successful and popular addresses and other labors in the service of the Woman's Board of Missions.

At General Van Cleve's funeral, a large number of his old regiment (always known as "Van Cleve's boys") were present. A profound sensation was made by a recital of the dashing way in which he and his boys, after a quickstep of five miles, turned the rout at Mill Springs into victory. " You must turn back,'' s.ud the Ohio men, worn out with fighting. " The Second Minnesotta never turns back! Forward!" shouted Van Cleve, and Mill Springs saved Kentucky for the Union. The "boys" did not quite suppress their applause at the preacher's story of their old Colonel who lay dead before them. When in Honolulu, General Van Cleve repeatedly spoke with great esteem of Rev. Artemas Bishop, whose school he attended for a year of his boyhood, near Princeton, N. J., where Mr. B. was a seminary student, shortly before embarking for Hawaii in 1822. ment. Kahunas Wrathful.

Lately, a preaching station has been taken up at the fish market on Saturday afternoons. This service is antihoomanamana, ami excites attention from the novelty of seeing Hawaiians attack the kahunas. Kahunas frequent the market on Saturday afternoons to buy awa; this station is a good one for encountering them. At one service, the kahunas threatened the evangelists with the vengeance of the gods.

Geodetic Survey, and Dr. Marcuse of Berlin, have arrived in Honolulu to make special latitude and jiendulum observations. They have located their observatory at Waikiki, mauka of Mr. Jacob Brown's residence. Their work will occupy a year. Honolulu being upon a meridian nearly opposite to Berlin, the results of the observations taken here will furnish an indispensable supplement to those taken during the same year at the latter point. The oscillation in latitude which has been detected there is an exceedingly delicate one. Opium has recently been smuggled into this Kingdom in large quantities despite the Prohibitory law. Occasion is taken as usual by lovers of license, to decry Prohibition, and demand that the opium traffic be licensed, and so "regulated." It should always be clearly borne in mind, that under Prohibition, the possession of opium is made a crime, and so the dealers and users are always kept under pressure of fear. Under li cense all this restraint is taken away. The sugar and rice planters understand this well and will continue to throw their influence against legalizing opium, and disorganizing their labor thereby. June, 1891.

We did not belong to the College—we belong to prehistoric times —but our children did, and we are g< ing to be there. Our dear friend, General Secretary S. D. Fuller, is about to leave Honolulu.

We pray that he may be restored and invigorated for many years more of such earnest, useful service as he has rendered here.

J. — Theirs "was a pleasant funeral," as one of the Hawaiians remarked — so lovely in their united lives—in their death not long separated—it was a signal mercy and providence to both. Beautiful rounded lives, full of years, full o# honors, they have gone to receive the reward of Him who said, "inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these, ye did it unto me." I believe they lived up to that injunction to the last, and were heartily, lovingly in the work of the Master till he called them up higher. Quite a large company of islanders, with some of the representatives of the Southern dark-skinned people, mingled their tears at our loss, while we rejoiced over their great eternal gain, as they had entered into the joy of the Lord. * * The twenty-first of this month makes the fiftieth anniversary of my stepping on Hawaiian soil. * * Yours truly, GORHAM D.

Honda the Samiirai.— [A story of Modem japan, by William Elliot Griffis, D.D. Boston and Chicago Congregational Sunday Schools and Publishing Society, pp. 390. j We have had the satisfaction of mak ing notices of some of Dr. Griffis' previ ous publications. The prestnt one is likely to find special favor. It is a story of a Japanese youth who lived Under the old feudal system and participated in its fall. Woven into the story, are varied and vivid pictures of Japanese life and manners, of old religions and priestcraft, and of missionary life and work. The author has already told in "The Mikado's Empire," of his residence in Japan for four years, from 71 74, for one year near a daimio's provincial court isolated from his own race. Ourbetter half, who knows what young folks want, says this is a first-class book for Sunday schools. That must be so, for no one is a better judge. But our own opinion is, that most of the older people will find reading this book an unusually easy and pleasant way of learn ing about Japan.

Hans Isenberg, pastor of the German Kvangelical Lutheran Parish of Lihue, Kauai, we have received the following facts of his work carried on during the year 1890. We are sure that it will be of interest to our readers as giving a glimpse at one important element of our complex life, and as opening up one branch of the good work being done on these Islands.

A. monthly meeting was held May 21st. There was a larger attendance than usual, inspiring to us all as a promise of awakening enthusiasm. The chairmen of the different committees made reports, mostly oral, showing the work in their departments well in hand. They promised reports at the next monthly meeting, showing something accomplished. A glance at the list of committees will show the chairmen of the active branches of work, all young men in the full vigor of their young christian manhood. They are ably supported by exceptionally strong committees. And we look forward to organized and sustained effort. The General Secretary reported a very busy month. He spoke of the new class es in Drawing and Mathematics meeting in our building. The Y. M. C. A well knows that the education of our young men is, broadly speaking, an essential part of the evangelization of the world. Such seed sown, will return to us an hundred-fold in worthier citizens and a more intelligent Christianity. God speed the evening classes! We wish we could fill every room in the building with earnest students. The report of a Temperance sub-committee by Bro. Atherton was especially interesting. He had been appointed to feel the Ministerial pulse in regard to the rumored granting of additional liquor licenses. The report was re-assuring and cheering. There is no likelihood of any immediate extension of the evil. Three new members were elected, Messrs. Law, Langley, and Clarke. A movement, led by Bro. Robinson, is afoot, to begin a series of social evenings in the hall. Our lady friends are to be asked to devote, in turn, an hour now and then in giving to young men who are strangers a home-like sociable evening. The resignation of Mr. Fuller, our General Secretary, took most of us by surprise, though we all well know how his health has been failing of late. His departure will be a loss to this institution not soon repaired. His letter was a touching tribute to the whole-hearted aloha of the Christian people of this city. It was modestly silent as to the inestimable work he has done here,—a work that lives in the hearts of all who know him, and whose record is kept in the Lamb's Book of Life. J. Barnkt, Rec. Secy.

It was decided to begin, at once, a meeting for prayer, praise and the study of biblical topics. Friday evening, 7:30, was chosen as the time for the meeting. The topics for the Sunday evening meetings, for each quarter, are to be printed on cards. Each member will receive a card. The methods of conducting our meetings were discussed ; some changes suggested, and the chairman of the committee was instructed to ask leaders not to take over 15 or 20 minutes in the opening exercises, thus giving most of the time to the members. Printed notices giving information about the meetings, reading-room, etc., are to be posted in as many public places as possible. Social evenings for young men," was discussed and a committee appointed to place the matter before the next monthly meeting of the association. The leaders are to be chosen as they have been for the past two years. " Sunday Evening Meetings. The meetings for the first month of the V.M.C.A. year have been unusually interesting and inspiring. The total attendance was 490. Average 98. At the first meeting, Mr. Davies, Liverpool, England, brought us words of counsel and cheer. On May 3rd, Major Russell, R. H. A., gave us an earnest, practical talk upon The Promises." The meetings for the rest of the month were led by our members. The meetings are growing in spirit and interest. Yet, it is not only a pity, but a misfortune that many of our members do not study the subjects selected more than they do. The consequence is, that much of that, which is said is often disconnected, lacking in aim, and foreign to the topic of the evening. It is not intended that the topic should exclude all else. If a brother has received some blessing, which he wishes to acknowledge, and for which he wishes to give thanks—let him do so. No place is more appropriate than in our meetings, where his words will be heard, both by those who have no experimental knowledge of God, and hence need such evidence ; and by those who know personally what it is to have the love of God dwelling in their souls. This and some other reasons admit of divergence. It is equally true, that were we entering the presence of an earthly king, we would not presume to address to him disconnected and irrelevant Devotional Committee. words—how much more careful should This committee held its organization we be when in the presence of, and speaking of the things pertaining to, " " the winning of souls. It is our duty—to say nothing of its being our joy—to do earnestly and well the work God has placed in our hands. We can't afford to be careless workers for God. Closing Sunday Evening's Meeting. Our meetings are usually closed with a hymn. During the singing of the hymn there is an almost universal reaching for hats, walking-sticks, umbrellas, etc., then, ere the echo of the last note has died away, a general rush to get down stairs. To strangers, and those to have not grown accustomed to the usual habit here, this looks like " irreverence." Taking the most lenient view possible, we must have to confess that it shows a lack of thoughtfulness. We ask God to grant us the felt presence of His Holy Spirit in our meetings. If we believe His promise, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them,"—if we believe this promise, then our Songs of Praise" are as much addressed to God, in His presence, as are our prayers. We should so treat them. Our meetings should be closed either with the benediction, or at least, by a short prayer; when the Master's blessing may be asked to rest upon what has been said in the meeting, and His presence and guidance asked for the hours and days of the week to follow. " Friday Evening's Prayer Meeting. The prayer meetings for young men were begun in the Y. M. C. A. parlors on May 15. The subject was Prayer." Twenty-three, mostly young men attended. The hour was well occupied, chiefly by the younger members, in prayer and testimony. The subject for May 22nd was "Praise and Thanksgiving." The 93 Psalm was read. We all received inspiration from the thoughtful praise of the great psalmist. Great good will result from these meetings where all meet and unite in prayer and praise to the Master of life. We want more of our young men present. Don't make engagements for Friday evening. There never was a greater need than now. Let us not fail to do our duty. An hour spent in drawing near to God will bring us strength for the hours of sore trial we so often meet. " A good old farmer one day standing in the hay-field, with a fake in his hand, was asked what he thought of a certain preacher. "Oh, he's very good," he re plied; "but he rakes with the teeth upside instead of down. He smooths it The King of kings and Lord of lords?" nicely over, but he gathers nothing in." �The Wesley Centennial. John Wesley died March 2d, 1791, in his eighty-eighth year. He was probably the most influential Englishman that ever lived, although his University, Oxford, has no adequate memorial of its most illustrious fellow. Price Hughes once expressed surprise at this to the eminent Mark Pattison, rectorof Lincoln College, to which Wesley belonged, mentioning the fact that Wesley had twenty millions of avowed disciples in all parts of the world, within a century of his death. "Twenty millions!" exclaimed Pattison, with a start; "twenty millions ! you mean twenty thousand ?" Hughes had to repeat it three times over. " 1 had not the faintest conception that there were so many Methodists," said the illustrious rector. Such is the fatuous ignorance to which State Churchism and " Apostolic Succession" condemn their votaries, like Buddhist monks in a Lamasery, or like the S. P. G. bishop of Calcutta, when an apostle of the Lord like Dr. Pentecost approaches him. Lecky declares the religious revolution wrought by Wesley to be the greatest event of English history in the eighteenth England, as we know her century. to-day," says Edmund Scherer, "is the work of Methodism." Says the historian Green, "John Wesley embodied in himself not this or that side of the vast movement, but the very movement itself." Small in stature, but of mighty soul, and tireless body, Wesley was a king among men, by the grace of God in him, evolving a living church and Christianity out of the palsied religious condition of the nation, and lifting the people up into spiritual and moral activity. It was not until the 24th of May, 1738, that John Wesley received the Heavenly Power and launched forth into his mighty career. The Spirit of the I ord came upon him, anointing him to preach the Gospel to the poor. FYom childhood of scholastic habit, no man ever so reached the hearts of the poor and illiterate. His sweet and penetrating voice would reach ten, twenty, thirty thousand auditors. He saturated the English poor with a living gospel. His journeyings were immense, never less than forty-five hundred miles in a year. Until his seventieth year all his journeys were done on horseback, and he rode sixty or seventy miles day after day, as well as preached several times. In the terrible winter of 1745, he rode two hundred and eighty miles in six days, amid wind, rain, ice, snow, driving sleet, and " he grew to have an iron frame, which he traced to the habit of rising at four, and preaching three or four times a day, with a journey of sixty or seventy miles in the intervals. During all this time his literary activity was immense, mainly in providing books for the benefit of his itinerant preachers —collections of Psalms and hymns, sermons, journals, and magazines. In this he unawares became rich, but expended every penny of the 30,000/. he made, in charity. Hissystematized social charities were most extensive. Wesley not only created Methodism; he revolutionized Calvinism, which has yielded its harsher tenets to his tenderer and holier doctrine, and now marches almost hand in hand with Methodism in setting forth how " God loved the world," and how "whosoever believeth in the Son, shall have everlasting life." In the great memorial services of the Centennial near Wesley's tomb in London, every variety of Christian theology, and every form of ecclesiastical polity, except Roman and Eastern Catholicism, combined to pay loving reverence to England's greatest prophet and apostle. We are indebted for the above facts to an article in the Nineteenth Century. A heavenly crown is shining on the brow Of her who will come back to you no more.
