As per programme, these opened on Thursday, June '2.uh, with athletic exhibitions on the campus, by the students. There was a cavalry drill, followed by tourneying at tings with line success. There were various foot races and jumpings, closing wiLh football. The tine doings of their sons so stirred up some of the old Punahou boys that they organized an impromptu race of their own, in which grey-haired dignitaries gloriously vied for precedence. Three of the tallest rolled in the dust, but manfully sprang up and finished the race. We are happy to record that the solid men were, by no means, in the rear. One of the fallen heroes was seen not long after running horses with the young lads for all he was worth. He evidently had not forgotten in Spain the feats of his youth on Mokuleia plains. On the same evening the great stone church was crowded above and below to hear General Armstrong. Mrs. B. F. Dillingham first read a Poem of some length with admirable force and grace. This, like all whom we have heard speak of it, we reckon as of a high order of literary ability, while it glowed with the enthusiasm of a lover of the Alma Mater. We only wish that our columns could be expanded to contain this poem, together with the addresses of the week. General Armstrong's oration was full of the same filial enthusiasm towards r Punahou, and the memories of school days. It also took the strong reach and broad outlook of the man ol affairs, of the heroic educator and race-uplifter. His crisp, nervous sentences crowded fast, teeming with thought fresh and suggestive, and with counsels stimulating and hopeful. These counsels related to the College and its future as a central educating power. They also reached out to the duties lying before its graduates for Hawaii in all its social and national needs. It was full of the gospel of Work and its rewards. Friday the 26th was the day for giving full scope to the social elements of the occasion. After a reception by President and Mrs. Hosmer in the parlors, all the guests sat down to a sort of Alumni dinner, which took the form of a combined lunch and luau, of which something like a thousand persons must have partaken. The beautiful lawn in front of the main building had been covered in for the purpose, and laid with long tables, spread with the most copious bounty ofourlavish Honolulu hospitality. For from two to three hours after this were occupied with addresses. A letter was first read from Hon. C. R. Bishop, which accompanied his gift of $50,000. Professor W. D. Alexander then delivered a most entertaining historical address, a marvel of research and exact information respecting Punahou and the College. For happy allusion, apt comparison, chastened humor, quiet ardor, we find this address throughout as good reading as we have recently met with. This paper, as well -s the Oration and Poem, have already been printed in the P. C. Advertiser, and will no doubt appear in pamphlet form. This was followed by a large numbei of lively speeches from old graduates, trustees and others, Chief-Justice Judd presiding, as Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements. These have been very imperfectly reported by the press, and we were not in a position to hear anything -but all seemed to be having a jolly good time. We learn that Rev. Hiram Bingham, by request, made some statements relative to his 51 TheFriend. Number 7. father's gift in 1840 of the Punahou lands to the school. It was made a general holiday in town, stores and Government offices being generally closed after ten o'clock, out of regard to Punahou hospitality. Her Majesty the (jueen was prominent among the guests. Kamehameha School, after four years of arduous and excellent work, has graduated its first class of fourteen, four of whom expect to study there another year. The exercises were held on Tuesday, June 23rd, when Kawaiahao Church was packed to overflowing. The young men gave us the impression of genuine high promise. The wise and affectionate address of Principal Oleson to his boys was most impressive. Public examinations of the six divisions of the school had been held on Monday and Tuesday mornings. On Wednesday the Trustees and General Armstrong were entertained at lunch, Her Majesty the Queen also honoring the company with her presence. General Armstrong gave special counsel to the young men. The work of this school involves much of the element of Industrial Training upon which he places so much stress. A variety of work executed by the scholars showed a wonderful proficiency in Cabinet and Machinist as well as other work. The Bishop Museum was opened to the public on Monday and Tuesday, although the arrangement of the cases is still incomplete. Hilo Boarding School held its annual exhibition on June —th. It has recovered lost ground and proved remarkably successful under Mrs. W. S. Terry as Principal, aided by Miss Ellen G. Lyman and Mr. Terry, with Mr. P. S. Lord as instructor in music. The new manual department has been very successful. A small steam engine has been constructed by the pupils under Mr. Terry's supervision, and is doing useful work. Five acres of kalo are growing for the food of the scholars, besides bananas, sweet potatoes and sugar cane. Four hundred coffee trees also. The Lyman Memorial Fund now amounts to thirty thousand dollars. The school has grown from thirty to fifty pupils, with a prospect of increase. With its long and useful past behind it, this important school promises to render invaluable service to the Hawaiian people. �52 THE FRIEND. rju, y , i B5 , sionary Sermon of the Scribe delivered training school did the work of supply Kawaiahao Church was a poem of ing teachers for them.

The natives. seeing the Spanish take and use the property of Americans without their being able to prevent it, were led to think it would go much worse with them in the future. This, 1 think, was one inducement to the fighting. The outbreak occurred at Ova June 2. >, 1890, at the boat landing on the mission premises. The Spanish first came to Ova in Maj', but before that, when it was fust reported that they were coming there to build, Miss Palmer delegated Mr. Charles Bowker and Mrs. Cole on separate occasions to visit the Governor and pro test against their building on the mission premises, and the Governor promised that he would not. The officer in charge of the force at Ova was very bitter against anything not Spanish, and from all accounts the Governor could not wholly control him. He made many threats and talked much to the natives on his own authority, while they sup posed it was from the Governor. This officer was very angry with Miss Palmer because she went to the Governor with her complaints instead of to him, ami he went right to work on the mission grounds cutting trees and building houses. A church and a dwelling house were begun about sixty feet from our church, and foundations for a fort and barracks were laid on a hill near oui houses and on our land. For an excuse the Governor said that it was the most healthy place he could find. He afterwards said that the fort was a military necessity, and that the church was for the religious welfare of the soldiers. I don't believe anything of the kind. 1 think it a fact that the)' want to crowd out our mission, and they did this as a first grand step toward it. If the natives were fairly treated, there would be no necessity for soldiers. They are peaceably disposed, but, like other people, they cannot bear oppression. The three weeks spent at anchor in Ponape were three weeks of misery nearly every day brought its new exasperation. One of the first things done by the Governor, after our at rival, was to prohibit all religious meetings among the natives. This was a sjrious drawback to Mr. Rand's endeavors in the interest of peace, and it made the natives all the more bitter because they like to begin their public meetings with prayer. On the twenty-sixth of August I again visited the Governor and, after a long talk, got a written permit to land goods at the mission in our boats, "at the owner' srisk." Mr. Rand still believing in the possibility of bringing about a quiet settlement of the troubles, wished to have his goods put ashore. Before granting the permit the Governor said that he had proof from both foreigners and natives that the Star sold them r powder. Though I assured him that I -never deal in powder, he 1repeated the assertion, till I told him squarely and plainly that his informers had lied. He accused me .of trading in tobacco and cobra. I explained to him the extent of my trading, referring to my instructions from the Board (only for the getting of ship's supplies,) He declared that the Rnk Mission makes a business of selling tobacco, and that it is given out in church by one of the ladies that they have better tobacco than that sold by the traders, and I must say, if I had to use the weed, I should hope the}' did. 1 h m: stories probably came from those who dislike missionaries. \\ in n we first reached Ponape, Mr. Rand wished to go ashore and have his goods landed, but, after a few days, he found it would not be wise to do so, and requested me to remain indefinite!}. Miss Fletcher went to Ova and remained till September 3rd, the other passengers remaining on board ship. On the 3rd (September), the troops having arrived from Manila and a fight being imminent, the girls' school was removed to the S/nr, via.; three ladies and twentyone girls. The houses were locked and a white flag left flying over them, and the Governor's own written pledge of protection nailed to one of the doors. On September 4th our boat visited Ova for the last time. The natives then had nearly the entire water front fortified. There was first a breastwork of stone five feet high. A few feet back of this was a trench, a kind of rifle-pits. I had to i;et a permit from the Governor for the removal of the girls. Later on, no girls were allowed to remain with their teachers without the written consent of their parents. We went in all directions and obtained the required permits. The authorities then demurred at the correctness of the permits, and so all the girls had to he put on shore, Miss Palmer and Mrs. Cole going with them to Kiti. The American schooner C. O■ Wilson was in [tort and was engaged to take Miss Kinney and the Ruk goods to Ruk for $300, and I sailed the same day (September 11th) for Kusaie with Mr. Rami, the Misses Fletcher and Foss and eleven girls (those given permits.) Mr. Rand (who staid at Kiti) did all he could to prevent further bloodshed. The Gove/HiOr asked him to do as he had in I**7, and he worked until he made himself sick. I arrived at Kusaie Miss Fletcher told September Kith. me that she had decided not to stop at Kusaie. So, on the 20th, I sailed again for Ponape, and on the night of the 25th hove to off Kiti harbor. Here we learned from Rand and Nanpei of the burning of the mission houses. I went into Kiti and lay at anchor four days while the dividing and landing supplies went on. Misses Palmer and Fletcher and Mrs. Cole decided to remain at Kiti and keep the girls together. October 2nd, I cleared for Kusaie. Mrs. Rand and Miss Foss being aboard. (Later, the American sh'\p-o(-wav Alliance took the Misses Palmer and Fletcher and Mrs. Cole and the girls to Kusaie.) Ii ims. The Spanish began active operations against the natives September 13th, a few miles south of Ova. On the 20th they first shelled Ova, then landed a force and burned all the mission houses, besides a few native houses. They are said to have fired MOO rounds from their large guns during the week, and succeeded in killing only three natives. The Spanish commander was killed while landing near the mission wharf. After burning the houses they all went on board their ships and steamed around to the colony, where they remained doing nothing up to the second of October, the time of my departure. Both Bowker and .Nanpei received some kind of decoration for their services (in secreting and saving the lives of the priests and six soldiers), two priests were hid two days in the girls' school. Nanpei was offered $. >o a month to teach in the Catholic school. Several days before the fight of June 25th, the native Christians and teachers held their customary monthly meeting for religious talk and instruction. There happened to be more people present than usual. The officer in charge became alarmed, thinking they came for other purposes, and threatened to take them all to the Governor and have them killed if they held any more meetings. This officer had received warning of trouble the day before the outbreak, and had badgered the natives about their fighting. He made no preparations for defense. The natives were told that they had received too many American ideas, and that they would now have some of them taken out. While Manassa, one of our teachers, was d\ing in bis house at Ova, the Spanish began felling trees and making a noise near the house. His friends were obliged to take him away and he died while being removed. The natives are afraid that the Catholic religion will be forced upon them. I think that was one cause of the outbreak. So far only only one of the five tribes is in the fight. They muster less than 400 men. The Spanish had 1,200 against them, and will need several times that number before they are through. At Ponape (April 20, 1K91) we found all quiet and most of the soldiers returned to Manila, and but one man-ofwar in port. The new Governor gave us no trouble, and seemed very anxious to make things agreeable. In regard to the Ponapeans, however, he proposes to follow the old tactics. They must come in and surrender their chiefs and guns or be wiped out, and he said that there would be no more bungling about it on the part of the military. — r �THE FRIEND. 54 The old Governor, before leaving, issued a proclamation declaring the Metalanim tribe extinct, and their lands were divided among .the other tribes. The facts are that, up to the time of our leaving Ponape, April 25, 1891, only five Ponapeans had been killed, while the Spanish loss in the last fight alone was not less than three hundred men, and some put it still higher. The natives were strongly intrenched and captured a great quantities of rifles and ammunition. Ponape is a dear acquisition for the Spanish. An Animated Scene took place upon the Australia at her arrival on the morning of the 23rd ult., when old Punahou and other friends boarded the ship to greet Gen. S. C. Armstrong and Rev. William H. Gulick. The alohas were eager and joyful to the two veterans. Their old teacher, Dr. Beckwith, was there to welcome them, together with several of their old school and classmates of more than thirty years gone by. Gen. Armstrong has repeatedly visited us, but has grown very gray since his last visit. Mr. Gulick has not seen his native land before since he left it for college. He has seen long and arduous service since then, and shows the wear. The Corner Stone exercises on June 3rd were a most happy success, enthusiastic, and inspiring. An account is given in another column. An earnest purpose for consecrated Christian work pervaded the thoughts expressed. The massive layers and arches of hewn lava blocks were suggestive of strength and endurance, as well as of a noble beauty growing up. One speaker emphasized the superiority of stone over wood, as unlikely "to go off some day in a puff of smoke," pointing to the black column rising from the burning Kerosene Warehouse. Another spoke of the material as "stone that has been tried by fire." Another spoke of the lava rock, as firm and imperishable as the granite of that New England, from whose shores the imperishable Gospel first came to these islands." They were also termed " fitting and shapely stones, hewn from coarse and shapeless clinker heaps." Altogether, the stone itself came in for much praise. It is the same material which has been used in the fine edifices at the Kamehameha School —the tough, fire-proof lava, of the "clinker" or "aa" variety, full of irregular vesicles. We notice that the upper arch of one of the smaller windows is already turned. Many were glad to hear our brother Bingham's impaired voice ring out so grandly in the well chosen words of the benediction. " July,1891. Ordination of Portuguese Evangelists. North Pacific Missionary, Institute. Pursuant to a call made by the Central Union Church, a Council of neighboring churches and ministers assembled on Saturday, June 13th, and, after due examination, approved Messrs. A. Y. Soares and Robert K. Baptist for ordination to the Ministry of the Gospel as Evangelists. On the evening of Sunday, the 14th, the same Council proceed to ordain them. Rev. S. F. Bishop offered the ordaining prayer; Rev. C. M. Hyde, I). D., gave the Charge to the Candidates; Rev. W. B. Oleson gave the Right hand of Fellowship; and Rev. O. P. Emerson addressed the Congregation, urging especially their affectionate support of the work of these laborers. Mr. Soares has been diligently and successfully laboring for several months, aided by his noble wife, among his countrymen in Honolulu. He is himself a native of the Azores, but converted in early manhood among his Protestant countrymen in Illinois, and there acquiring education and experience as a Christian worker. Mr. Baptist, born in the same Portuguese community in Illinois, and having enjoyed a part of a course of training for the Ministry, has been laboring most successfully in Hilo. It had become clear that, for their best usefulness, ordination had become important for these esteemed and devoted brethren. A great and fruitful work seems to lie before them. A public examination of the scholars of this institution was held at Kawaiahao Church on Friday a.m., June sth, conducted by the instructors, Rev. C. M. Hyde, D.D., and Rev. H. 11. Parker. As in each succeeding year of the past, a marked advance was apparent both in the intellectual training and in the moral and spiritual tone of the young men, giving the right to expect a continuance of that improvement of ministerial character which has marked the accession of the graduates of the Institute to the pastorates of the native churches. The number of students, seventeen, has been larger than in former years, in increase stimulated in part by the greatly improved accommodations. The next great step forward is felt to be the effective introduction of our theological students to the treasures of English books. When nearly all young Hawaiians are tending towauis this, the rising generation of pastors must not be lacking in this accomplish!' ent. But this means additional teaching force in the school. The graduating exercises of five of the students took place at Kawaiahao, on June 7th, before a crowded congregation. The C. U. Sunday School Picnic on June llth, Kamehameha Day, was a delightful affair. Mr. J. T. Wateihouse, Jr., threw open his fine grounds on Wyllie street, in Nuuanu Valley. There was a large lanai covered in, abundant shade of trees, spacious lawns for games, and. just over the brook, broad pastures for base ball. The light breeze of the valley was cool. Some seven hundred persons, large and .small, were present. There was a profusion of choice supplies for luncheon. All seemed to enjoy themselves hugely, and to have no hankering after the rates, six miles away at the Park. The Queen favored the company with her presence at two o'clock, looking well after her busy touring. The Drought continues to be severe on the leeward sides of the Islands. Our gauge shows only 0.20 inch a week for the past month, or about one-third of the average rainfall of past years, while April and May were little better. The lawns of Honolulu are looking very dry, owing to lack of rain in Nuuanu Valley. It is becoming evident that steam pumping from artesian wells How to pay off Farm Mortgages.— must become the chief dependence for We commend the following to the the future water supply of Honolulu. Farmer's Alliance. "Nine years ago, Ackley, lowa, had seventeen saloons, Rev. Wm. H.

Henry Hopkins scoring Ritualistic extremes. We wil] say explicitly that in neither passage had we any intention to antagonize our esteemed brother, or to elicit controversy. We have never supposed him to belong to the extreme party satirized by Mr. Hopkins. We have been accustomed to regard him as one of fairly broad and tolerant views. Our brother of the Chronicle.x* one whom we hold in affectionate honor, for his long and activeChristian work and labors of love in Honolulu—and especially as one loyal to our Lord, and to all the important doctrines of the Christian faith. Differences on questions of ecclesiastical order do not disturb our recognition of him as a validly ordained Presbyter in the Church of Christ, not even though his theories bar him —no doubt with regret from extending the same recognition to ourselves. Our feelings toward the dogma of Apostolic Succession are entirely apart from our feelings toward the many noble servants of Christ who hold it. THE FRIEND. Co-education for Hawaiians. How many of our readers are acquainted with the effort making in this direction by the Kauai Industrial School at Malumalu in Lihue, Kauai ? How many, indeed, are sensible of the strong reasons believed to exist for making such efforts ? These reasons grow out of the absence among Hawaiians of home training in the proper behavior of the sexes towards each other. By means of the proper intercourse of pupils in the same school in the presence of their teachers, kindly regulating them, proper behavior is to be taught. They are to be educated in the proprieties and common decencies of social life, as well as in books and manual aptitudes. This subject, in this light, is rather new to us—we are deeply impressed by it. There seems a most important work to be done. Hampton has proved how practicable and successful it may be made. We wish every success to the devoted teachers and trustees who have entered upon this important undertaking. We hope to take up this topic again, with added information. Gen. S.C. Armstrong occupied C. U. Prop. H. Rexpord Hitchcock passed Church pulpit in the evening of June away at Hilo June 6th, after protracted 28th with a talk about "our brothers in suffering from cancer in the face. Mr. Hitchcock had occupied many and high positions in educational work, notably as Inspector-General of Schools for several years. He was also the Commissioner in charge of the Hawaiian Exhibit at the Centennial Exposition in IB7f>. Four years ago the Board of Education published his excellent Hawaiian-English Dictionary, a boon to natives learning English. It is only a few months since he completed a Pictorial Bible-Story book in Hawaiian. During his last years, our brother's spiritual life was greatly developed, and towards the end rose to a high elevation, attended by a sustained experience of remarkable joy and peace during his severe sufferings. Mr. Hitchcock was a member of a large class of unusually strong young men who left Oahu College about 1859, from under the remarkand ably able instruction of George Beckwith. black and red"—the needs, the progress and the prospects of the Negroes and the Indians of the United States. We hardly need to say that he was forceful and entertaining. What is far better, his words were actively stimulating to hopeful and consecrated labor for the lowly, to uplift and build them up. God has indeed raised up a powerful helper for those two races in this man. Ostrich Farming at Waikiki seems to be really prospering, after a year's trial. Nineteen young birds are now to be seen, like a cross between half-grown geese and turkeys, all from three females. Dr. Trousseau may reasonably hope for early returns of feathers.

These exercises took place as promised at 3 to 5 p.m., on June 3rd. They were held in the front yard of the Pun hou Preparatory School, immediatel; opposite the corner stone, chairs for several hundred persons being placed under the trees, with a stand for the speakers, only fifty feet from the corner stone. A light shower fell before the exercises, cooling the air. An earnest invocation of blessing was offered by Rev. Thos. L. Gulick, followed by a Scripture lesson and an anthem. Psalm 33 was read as a responsive lesson. Mr. R. F. Dillingham then addressed the congregation in behalf of the trustees, expressing their hope for the furtherance of Christian work and Christian union. Mr. Alexander Young next spoke in behalf of the Building Committee, giving tho history of their work and its results so far. The building is being erected by Mr. Lishman, under salary, his experienced and faithful services ensuring a better result than any contract. He hoped to see the church ready for occupation by August, IH9 2. Mr. J. B. Atherton, the Treasurer, then gave a statement of the financial position of the enterprise, and of the amounts subscribed, and of those paid in. These showed a very favorable aspect. Mr. P. C. Jones, in behalf of the subscribers, acknowledged a debt of gratitude to the Building Committee. "This church is not being built in a spirit of rivalry, but solely for the glory of God, and to provide a proper place where we and our descendants may worship God» for generations to come." Chief Justice A. F. Judd spoke in behalf of the Deacons of the church, whose office he magnified, expressing joy in the solidity of the stone structure, deprecating excess of adornment, and voicing praise and thanksgiving to God for these rising walls and stately towers. Rev. S. E. Bishop spoke in behalf of the membership of the late Bethel Church, expressing their satisfaction at the more than ample fulfilment of the pledge given that a new edifice should be built for the united worship of the two churches. Speaking also in behalf of the Standing Committee, he exhorted the Church not to let the strength and stateliness of the new temple separate them from love and labor for the struggling and sinning world outside. Rev. W. B. Oleson, speaking for the congregation, exhorted to maintaining this building as free to all as sunshine and air; not to abridge its hospitality, but keep the amplest spirit of cordiality and winsomeness to all who seek the house of God, however astray in belief or life. It must be no club house, nor under the sway of any distinctions of social rank or intelligence. It must follow Jesus, in drawing all men unto Him. �56 Mr. J. T. Waterhouse, Jr., the Superintendent, spoke for and to the Sunday School. Referring to king Joash's moneybox for the repair of the temple, he stated that the school were making a special monthly collection towards furnishing their future school-room. Givers are needed, the children can give, and God will bless. The children then sang " Onward Christian Soldiers." Salutations followed from various churches. Rev. H. H. Parker, in behalf of Kawaiahao Church, thought it appropriate to select this granite-like native stone, and redeem it for such honor and service. He brought the greetings of the oldest church in the land, the old historic church of Bingham and Kaahumanu. That old church had a warm heart for her younger sister, from whom she had received such continuous and generous aid. The remarkable progress of Christianity here has had its periods of retrogression. But in every cloud there is a promise. May we discern God's presence with unobstructed vision. "Peace be within thy walls and prosperity with- in thy palaces." Rev. Alexander Mackintosh presented the cordial salutations of the people to whom, as a priest of the Anglican Church he ministered, "sympathizing in your efforts to spread and deepen the Gospel of Christ our common Savior." Also their "hope that a building meet for His worship, a refuge for souls yearning for salvation through Christ, will be the result of your labors." Rev. A. N. Fisher represented the Christian Japanese of Oahu, Maui, and Kauai, who owed so much to the liberality of this church, and who are cordial in their salutation, as they find themselves unspeakably advantaged by the new life upon which they have entered. Relieved of the burdens and fears of idolatrous belief, advanced, elevated, exalted in their earthly and their spiritual relations, they are most grateful, and rejoice in your enlargement which is their endowment. .Following a prayer by the Pastor, an original hymn by Mrs. B. P. Dillingham was sung by the choirGreat God, in tender love look down, And bless the work our hands perform; Our labors let thy goodness crown With holy zeal and purpose warm. Behold, a "Corner Stone" we lay In Zion's temple for the Lord; Our consecrating vows we pay With hearts and tongues in glad accord. The Master's hand these builders guide; The Master's grace these walls adorn; The Master's presence here abide, Till breaks the bright, unending morn. Mr. W. W. Hall then read a list of various articles enclosed in the metallic case, and deposited the same in an excavation under the stone. The oldest male member of the Church, Mr. Samuel N.

The regular monthly business meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was held June 18th, in the Hall, President Geo. P, Castle in the chair. There were twentyone members present. Treasurer A. C. Lovekin read his report showing total receipts for the month $423.98; disbursements $238.45, leaving a balance on hand of $184.53. General Secretary S. D. Fuller, in his report said he was very busy getting things ready for his successor. Certain needed repairs have been completed. On account of the partial failure of the electric light system there has been considerable extra labor in lighting the Association rooms. Both parlors have been given up to the evening classes, and are used to their full capacity. Chairman H. W. Feck for the Devotional Committee reported an average Sunday evening attendance of 76, being an increase of 31 over the snme month of last yea.. The Friday evening prayer meeting is increasing in interest. The average attendance is 21. At the last meeting over twenty young men took part. Chairman J. E. Bid well for visitation committee reported twentyfive calls made on the sick during the month. These visits were not confined to members of the Y. M. C. A., but were made to many others as well, to whom such visits are welcome. Chairman E. A. Benner reported the vitation Committee at work. Sunday •.id Friday evenings members are on nand to welcome strangers. Invitations extended to young men on the streets are showing promising results. Many strange faces are being constantly added to our evening meetings. Chairman F.J. Lowrey for the Entertainment Committee reported on Dr. Hammond's very interesting lecture on South Africa. He also said that negotiations were in progress for a lecture on Japan ere long. The Secretary read a communication from Dr. Hyde, who was absent on Maui, shewing an unflagging interest in the work on the Reading Room Committee. The report of Hon. J. B. Atherton, Chairmau of the Finance Committee was read by the Secretary. It stated that the pledges for this year foot up $2,328, and that this amount will not be sufficient to cover the yearly expenses of the Association. For the Hawaiian Branch Committee the General Secretary stated that he still holds the refusal of the lease of Cjueen Emma Hall. It is understood that the Hawaiian Board intend to use Cjueen Emma Hall as a mission. DEVOTIONAL COMMITTEE.

Through the efforts of the Entertainment Committee, a very interesting lectnre on the above topic was given in the Association Hall by Dr. Hammond. The Doctor began his lecture by showing the audience a specimen of the ornithorhynchus, orduck-billed platypus, from Australia. He then took us in imagination to the entrance of the harbor of Cape Town. After describing briefly the city and its surroundings, be drew a graphic picture of the many peoples found in the city. The audi ertce enjoyed the description of a Malay marriage, where—much to the surprise of the Doctor—the groom was enjoying a monopoly of all the vows, promises, &c, while the bride-elect, dressed in her best, presided over a banquet spread in another part of the city. According to the Doctor's description, the bushmen are built on the 4'x6' pattern—the 6' being breadth. It would take too much space to tell of the many interesting things said and curios shown. After the lecturer had finished his description of the country, its people, animals and products, he gave us an earnest address upon the things pertaining to the Spiritual Kingdom. As we understand this dogma, it means that by the laying of the hands of a Bishop or Apostle, himself in like manner ordained through an unbroken succession of bishops or apostles from the time of our Lord, is imparted a peculiar Divine grace, which alone can endow a man with official or priestly authority in the Church of Christ, and that without such Episcopal manipulation, no minister has valid ordination, and no church a valid existence or authority. This doctrine logically compels those who accept it, to treat all the most active and efficient Churches of enlightened Christendom, such as the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Congregational, as having no valid status as churches, and their ministers as being only devout laymen. They may excel other churches in the fruits of Grace, but they have no real grace, because they have never received it through the appointed channel of Episcopal hands. This attitude towards us may be compared to one still more offensive, but quite as reasonable, adopted by some Romish priests, who maintain that no marriage rite is valid unless solemnized by a priest of their church, and that therefore all our parents not so united have lived in unlawful concubinage, and that we their children are bastards. We cannot be expected to hold either view in respectful regard. To call them "figments" is a mild form of expression. We regret to find the Chronicle appealing for support to the belief of "an overwhelming majority of Christians," evidently meaning thereby the vast degraded masses of nominal Christians in the Oriental and Latin churches. It is also an article of faith with most of those people that the earth is flat, and the sun revolves around it. Nor do the lives of those priests and peoples suggest the presence ofmuch Heavenly Grace among them, notwithstanding the diligent transmission by their bishops, of what is supposed to be such. It is our carefully considered opinion that the debasement of those Oriental churches is intimately associated both as effect and as cause with gross forms of the belief that spiritual grace can be imparted by the manipulation of a priest. Such doctrine tends to obscure the idea or concept of real, spiritual Grace. It substitutes for it a sort of magical, semiphysical force. It causes Religion to degenerate into Fetichism, and to become divorced from Morality. Witness the low condition of the Church of F.ngland in the eighteenth century, before the Lord anointed his apostle John Wesley with genuine, heavenly Grace to pour light upon the hearts of the English people.

Give your an the benefit of your sympathy vice. All knowledge whatever is a classi- fication of experiences.—Fiske. Conscience is harder than our enemies; knows more, accuses with more nicety. To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved. The only thing that walks back from the tomb with the mourners and refuses to be buried is character. Friendships are best formed at home. We cannot do everything ourselves; the most successful person is the one who knows best how to use the labor of other people. Giving to the poor lessens no man's store. If the power to do hard work is not talent, it is the best possible substitute for it. There is no remorse so deep as that which is unavailing. Remember this in time. He who chooses the right and shuns the base, has eternity for his friend, brother and father.

Since those days that church has shared very largely in the great Revival of true religion which has especially pervaded English-speaking countries. Even the Roman Church has become greatly enlightened and revived, wherever it is brought into contact with Evangelical religion. Our churches hold to sacramental observances as being the outward tokens of Christ's gifts of inward spiritual grace; but not as in themselves efficacious in imparting that grace, except as they diAs visible rect and stimulate faith. tokens of the Lord's presence and power—as signs and pledges of his promised Grace, these sacramental ordinances are solemnly precious to us. But we would pray to be kept from trusting in them as the bodily vehicles of spiritual grace. Hurricane at Kusaie or Strong's Island. Intelligence of this comes per Morn- ing Star. On March 2d, a heavy gale set in from the northwest, attended by unusual darkness. About 2 p.m. on the 3rd, as reported by Mrs. Rand, the wind shifted to the northeast, and blew a hurricane. Most of the large trees on the island were torn up. The rain was deluging. Most of the natives' houses were destroyed, and all the churches. The mission dwellings were badly strained. Mr. Channon's house was unroofed, and he and his family compelled to seek refuge at Mr. Rand's in the height of the storm, Mrs. C. barely evading a fatal blow from a flying sheet of corrugated roofing. Most of the Rand's house was flooded by the rain driving through the roof. They were constantly strengthening the house with braces and ropes. A lull occurred on the morning of the 4th, after which it blew harder than ever until the wind ceased about 7 a.m. on the sth, after two nights of fear and suffering. Dr. Pease's family had somewhat similar experience. Miss Palmer, Miss Fletcher, and Mrs. Cole had their school of seventeen Ponape girls at Mwot station, on Dove Islet, ten miles distant. Their houses were demolished, themselves having taken refuge first in King Tokusa's house, and then in Mr. Skilling's. "The roof of the king's house was built of very massive timbers," Miss Palmer writes, "as was the whole house; but they shook like reeds in the wind, and it was only because so many men were working with ropes and timbers to prop it up that it stood at all. * * We remained there until about four in the afternoon; by that time it seemed as if every gust of wind must lift off the roof. * * Our third move took us to Mr. Harry Skilling's, a very small house. It was propped in every direction inside and out, and the rafters were tied across with heavy ropes. Mr. S. gave to Miss Fletcher and me the driest place in the �60 THE FRIEND.

There was not much to be ruined, * * some had been left at Ova and was burned with the house. * * It seems such a wonderful thing that, with all the falling houses and trees, no one was killed or injured. * * We are back at Dove Islet (the fallen house re-roofed) again. and with fewer conveniences than before, even, but we can teach the girls, and we have our daily bread (rice mostly just now) a shelter and clothing. It is strange how much we can do without and yet be comfortable. I have not worried as much about this, or even the leaving Ponape, hard as that was, as I have often done over much smaller things." Miss Palmer, who came up on the Star, it will be remembered, had her school close to the massacre last June at Ponape, and concealed several fugitives in her house. She says she would rather experience many hurricanes than the terrors of those days. Not far from Dove Islet, the force of the waves tore up the outer edge of the fringing reef, and piled up a new islet of coral stones, over half a mile long, and five feet high, nearly half a mile from the shore. The natives have record of a similar hurricane about one hundred years ago. Mrs. Rand experienced one like it in Ponape in 1874. The Kusaie natives were almost entirely destitute of food, but were enabled to buy a good supply of rice from a China trader. The Morning Star was at the Marshall Islands at the time. No other island is known to have shared in this tempest. This hurricane at Kusaie naturally connects itself with a remarkable drop in the barometer in Honolulu on March 2d (3rd at Kusaie), also with our cold wave of March 4th (sth at Kusaie), when the mercury touched 48° F. in Honolulu. Also with the cold blizzard in England on March 10th, when so many lives were lost. There is also to be noted the collapse of Kilauea on March sth. It seems not unlikely that the jar of the earth's crust which let out the contents of the lavashaft was owing to the same astronomical conjunctions which caused the simultaneous atmospheric agitations. These are facts for use in the future progress of Meteorology. PM.-- m TJOPP k 1 I'J.IKH. CO.. No 74 King Street, IMPORTERS & MANUFACTURERS OK FURNITURE and UPHOLSTERY. Chairs to Rknt.
