The riend.
All of these involve immense expense.
They include a very serious possible
peril by rupture of dams. Engineers are
said to delight in great dams. It would
be well if they were always obliged to
reside immediately below those which
they built. We do not wish to say that
Storage reservoirs and a Gravity system
are absolutely not to be employed. But
we think that in viewof the high prices we
are paying for water, we all have the
right emphatically to demand of the government no longer to make such an unworthy failure of the business. We say
airworthy, because it is unbecoming that,
for example, the noble lawns of the
Palace and Government house should
be in their present condition when a copious supply of excellent water is most
accessible at a small expense.
Within from three to five hundred feet
of the surface is an exhaustless supply
of purest water pressing hard to reach
the arid ground. One ten-inch Artesian
well, costing $2,500, will copiously irrigate two hundred acres of town lota,
not over thirty feet above the sea. Steam
pumping, to lift the water from thirty to
seventy-five feet higher, would cost three
or four dollars for what the government
charges twenty live. These figures are
somewhat loosely drawn from cost of
wells and pumping at Ewa Plantation.
For fourteen dollars an acre per annum,
eight hundred acres of cane at that plantation have for ten months uninterruptedly received not less than ten inches of
water a month. This is fully twice the
average supply to Honolulu gardens,
averaging say half an acre to a $25 tap.
That is, we pay $100 for what would
cost $14 for steam pumping from Artesian wells. These figures may be a
little out, but show the general conditions
of the case.
If any one can show that the present
water-famine is not due to a clear neglect of the most obvious means of supply, we shall be glad to see his arguments. Our condemnation of the past
mismanagement of the business will
probably include some officials of good
judgment and ability, and personal
friends of ours. We cannot help that.
It is time that this city was supplied
with the water which is so copiously
stored under our feet; and any man who
hinders it is making a very bad record
months, a lack of water in the mountains
has caused a scarcity in the water sup
ply of the city. This scarcity has been
gradually increasing, until now the flow
of water in the pipes usually ceases at
8 a.m., and in most parts of the city seldom returns until late in the evening.
In some parts of the town thirty-six
hours have passed without water. As
the weeks go on, the mountain and valley springs whit h supply the various
reservoirs run low or dry up. There is
always some water, and will continue to
be, unless the drought increases, which
is unlikely ; but the supply is wholly inadequate to the demand, and large portions of the city are becoming unsightly
from the drying up of lawns and gardens.
The government have created an elaborate and expensive gravity-system, and
are deriving from it an immense revenue.
The supply is so far adequate to the fastincreasing wants of the city, during rainy
weather. When three or four inches a
month are falling, and only a little more
is needed on our lawns, or when the
valley rain-fall is copious, keeping the
pipes full, we do very well indeed. Hut
this state of plenty rarely obtains more
than one-half the time. During the
other half of the year, we are painfully for himself.
The Prince Consort passed away
expectedly and suddenly a few minutes
before 5 h.m. on the 27th of August.
He had been for several weeks suffering
severely from a complication of maladies.
This sad event has deeply afflicted the
Queen, and placed the Court in mourn-
ing, arresting the great preparations for
festivities on the Royal Birthday, September 2d.
Governor Dominis was in his sixtieth
year, born at Schenectady, N. V., March
10, 18.'i2. His mother was a cultivated
Bostonian, his father an Italian who had
risen to command in the American merchant service. Captain Dominis was,
for many years, in lucrative trade in the
Pacific, his family residing in Honolulu
since about 1837. He was lost at sea
in 1850, his widow residing until her
death in 1889 in the home mansion in
Washington Place.
The son received his early education
mainly in Honolulu. On the discovery
of gold in California, he followed the
rush from the Islands at the age of
seventeen, serving as a book-keeper to
merchants in San Francisco. Returning to Honolulu in 1850, he became
book-keeper with Charles Brewer. He
subsequently became private secretary
to Kamehameha IV. On the 16th of
September 1862, he was united in marriage to Miss Lydia K. Paki, now Queen
Liliuokalani. On the death of Governor
Kekuanaoa, he was appointed Governor
of Oahu, an office that he held for more
than twenty years. In 1874 he accompanied King Kalakaua, his brother-inlaw, to Washington, and in 1887, with
his wife and the Queen Kapiolani, attended the Jubilee celebration of Queen
Victoria, anil was received at Windsor
Palace.
Governor Dominis was a gentleman
of somewhat retiring disposition, and of
quiet bearing, but of good judgment
His counsels in public affairs were generally reliable and serviceable, and were
given with tact. The country undoubtedly owes much to his sound judgment
and conciliatory action in difficult cir-
-
cumstances.
Her Majesty, Queen Liliuokalani, will
receive the profound sympathy of the
nation, in being thus bereaved of both
husband and brother in a single year.
It is our prayer that her sorrow may be
mitigated by her enjoying the most
affectionate regard of all classes of her
people.

Mrs. Clarissa C. Armstrong.
in visitation of the people, much of the
time on foot, carriages being hardly
known, and saddle horses not easy to
provide for. Her influence was great
with the women of the church.
In 18 18, after the death of Mr. Richards, Mr. Armstrong left the Mission
for the King's service as Minister of
Public Instruction, Rev. F. W. Clark becoming pastor of Kawaiahao Church.
For many long years after this, howevt i.
Mis. Armstrong continued as a work ol
love, systematic labors among the
women, many of whom now advanced
in life, hold her in most grateful rememberance.
For many years she took
charge of the Friday prayer-meeting fur
the women. A work which stands as a
peculiar monument of her public spirit,
was the planting of the church grounds
and graveyard with the algeroba and
other trees now standing there. Our
older citizens, who knew that treeless,
I).ti it n region forty and even thirty years
ago, can understand what an immense
conversion that was of Kawaiahao from
Mrs. Ann
unsightliness to beauty.
strong stimulated the people, and especially the women to the work, personally superintending the whole of it, in
the broiling sun. A majority of the old
trees have been removed; but the growth
of the remainder suffices to fill the gaps.
Until in advanced age, Mrs. Armstrong revisited the States but once.
After Dr. Armstrong's death in 1860,
she continued to reside at the old home,
now Punahou Preparatory, Her children being all abroad, in about IWJ3 she
sold her home, and removed to San
Francisco, in which city and in San
Jose she spent several quiet and happy
years. A very delightful episode was a
trip to the Fast in May, ISS7, m the
private car of Mrs. Heminway, who
cared for her as a daughter.
Mrs.
Heminway had long been a munificent
friend of the Hampton School. After due
rest in Mrs. Heminway's home at the
seaside, the aged mother was taken to
the school of her eminent son at Hampton, and permitted to see the great work
in which she had felt a mother's pride.
She there addressed an audience of 700,
recounting experiences of missionary
In Mf.moriam..
Especial regard is due to the memory
of this venerable lady, as one for more
than forty years peculiarly identified
with Honolulu and its Christian work.
She was born in 1805 in Russell, Mass.,
and had matured into the noble and
vigorous woman, of strong judgment,
bright speech, and earnest spiritual con
secration, whom Richard Armstrong
found and won, to bear him company to
the then remote Pacific islands. They
sailed for Honolulu November With,
1831, arriving in the following May.
After one year spent here in learning
the language, Messrs. Alexander, Armstrong, and Parker with their wives,
were selected to form a new mission to
the Marquesas Islands, sailing July 3,
1833. Over six months were spent at
Nukuhiva among an exceedingly degraded and cannibal tribe of savages.
Their experiences were most trying and
fearful. Some of them have been graphically recorded by Mrs. Armstrong's pen.
In comparison with the Marquesas, the
Hawaiians on their return, though still
in much of their primitive condition,
seemed truly civilized. That mission
was surrendered to the claims of the
London Missionary Society, as being
south of the equator. The three families
reached Honolulu again May 12, 1834,
happy to be back in something like
civilization. One child had been born
at Nukuhiva to the Parkers, now the
veteran pastor of Kawaiahao Church.
An infant daughter of the Armstrongs
had accompanied her parents, now Mrs.
E. G. Beckwith. A son was born to
them at Nukuhiva, deceased a yeai
later.
The Armstrongs labored one year at
Haiku on Maui, and over live years at
Wailuku, associated there with the
Greens, and later with the IJaileys,
Mrs. Armstrong developing great power
to influence the women, and not least,
the children. In November, 18JO, the
Rev. Hiram Bingham left Honolulu for
New England, as it turned out, never to
return. For twenty years, Mr. Hing- life.

Mrs. Armstrong was meantime active
The funeral was held at the First
-
Congregational Church of which she
was a member. Rev. Janus M. Alexander conducted the services. Her aged
associate at Wailuku, Mr. Kdward Bailey
contributed some interesting and touching words. There were floral offerings
from her former Chinese Sunday
scholars. A beautiful one was contributed in the name of the Hawaiians, by
Mrs. Samuel Parker, wife of our Minister of Foreign Allans, a lady whose
mother, (Miss Kiltie Richardson), had
been a pupil of the deceased at Wailuku. The sacred form was conveyed
10 its rest in Mountain View Cemetery
in Oakland. The benediction was pronounced by Mr. Alexander in the Hawaiian tongue.
The Woman's Board of Missions for the
Pacific Islands.
The Twentieth Annual Report of this
important society has been issued from
the press. As elsewhere, the Woman's
Board has made for itself a most prominent place in promoting missionary enterprise, by its gifts hot only, but by the
interest and enthusiasm for the Work
which it cultivates. We cull and here
present leading points in the Report,
which closes with June, 1891.
We find the amount of $1 198 to have
been actually applied during the year to
home and foreign missionary work.
This is beside Society expenses and incidentals. The Board has paid $W0
each to two lady teachers of Ponape girls,
$260 to Chinese mission work, $2<>o to
Miss Green as city missionary, and $48
to Bible Readers, who are Hawaiian
women under Miss (men's direction.
One hundred dollars have also been applied to ''Micronesian Stores," or present to

A society affiliated to the Woman's
Board is the Missionary Gleaners, consisting chiefly of young ladies and
of the Sunday Schools. This society
actually applied to Mission work, the
sum of $356.15, including $22 for employing the devoted Bible-reader Kanalulu, lately deceased. $50 to Kawaiahao
Seminary, and $200 towards support of
Mrs. Rami. Of this amount $261.65
were proceeds of two garden-parties held
in October and in May.
Still another auxiliary is the "Lima
Kokti.t" or Helping Hand, which applied
$w5 to Mission work (S2O of this through
other Societies). The eight meetings of
the year were held in the fine hall of
Kawaiahao Seminary, whose pupils constitute a large part of the membership.
Many interesting addresses were given.
Miss lloppins' [oumal letters from Kusaie were of great help.
The Woman's Board held a public
meeting of especial interest on June 24th.
Mrs. Rand addressed them on the destruction of their work and their houses

their experiences in the hurricane at Rustic. Calling at Ponap,- in April, on
their return to Honolulu, "A dear Christian woman put hei arms about me and
said, 'My mother, have you come tt> stay
with us ?' They were sad in heart when
we told them 'No. We were not allowed to hold any meetings on the island.''
Miss Palmer also spoke, much worn as
she was by the labors of s-.ven ye..is, the
last ones so severely trying. The gifted
Mrs. Alice Gordon Gulick of San Sebastian, Spain, made a most excellent ad
dress, bringing the salutations of three
Woman's Boards, those of Boston, ol
the Interior, Chicago, and of the Pacific,
California. She told how during their
eighteen years id Spain, Evangelistic
work had grown ami prospered. A gieat
work now in hand is a Training School
for girls and te i hers.
A prominent feature in the work ot
the Woman's Board, is that of Miss
Mary Green, as a missionary chiefly to
Hawaiians in this city, with Queen
Rmma House as headquarters. Much
time is spent in accompanying the visits
of the six Bible Readers, at the homes
of the native people, in conducting
weekly meetings of the "Band of
Hope." in visiting the Queen's Hospital,
the Lunalilo Home and the Station
House. Many ships have also been
visited, and supplied with Bible and
reading matter.
The Woman's Board maintains a
close connection with the Chinese and
Portuguese Mission work, in which
ladies have such a prominent part, also
with the Girls' schools of Kawaiahao,
Makawao and Kohala. Special reports
are included in this pamphlet, from Mrs.
F. W. Damon, Mrs. C. M. Hyde, Mrs.
J. M. Whitney, also from Mrs. A. X.
Fisher, on the work among the Japanese.
We are very glad that this Report includes so many subjects. It gives wide

The Political Importance of Small Landholdings
for the Hawaiian Islands.
A careful and thoughtful article on
this topic has been published in the /'. C.
Advertiser. It was originally read before
the Social Science Association by Mr.
Justice S. B. Dole. He point* out that
Plantation employment being unpopular,
there is a constant accretion of the l.tboi
ing class to the metropolis, and that this
tendency is increased by the great difficulty of securing desirablefarm holdings
accessible to any market. This laboring
element so herded In the city he regards
as likely to be a dangerous one, while
-
working landholders are the most desirable element in any country.
Judge Dole therefore advocates "a
generous opening of public lands to set
tiers, giving particular attention to the
occupancy of small holdings." He es
timates the public domain, consisting of
Government and Crown Lands, as containing 7o,i()0 acres of cane land, and
30,000 of good coffee land, besides 50..
II n more of pasture land available for
agriculture, or 150,000 acres in all. Of
this, 7.0110 acres have been laid out as
holdings under the homestead law. Mr.
Dole advocates an active and energetic
policy of placing these lands in reach ol
small holders.
He also points out the large areas of
the best lands held by private owners as
glazing and forest land, or held merely
for speculative purposes. He advocates
such mollification of tax laws as would
compel such owners either to improve
then estates 01 sell them to small holders. He also suggests an early conversion of the Crown Lands into public
property, so that they can be treated as
other Government lands are.
Two hundred and thirteen home
steads have been created during a
previous biennial period. This is bill
a beginning of what is needed These
are about equally divided between Hawaiians and foreigners, mainly Portuguese. The system must be greatly enlarged, extended and varied. Judge Dole
points out great superiority of the landsystem of New Zealand, which encour
ages small settlers, to those ol New
South Wales and Victoria, which have
given enormous estates to graziers therein- hindering the growth of a ruial population and crowding thecities. Sydney
and Melbournealone contain iO per cent.
of the people of those two colonies, while
the four chief towns of New Zealand
contain only 20 per cent, of the whole
population.
The article closes as follows:
"If with ouravailable publicand private
lands we should, by the intelligent adoption and administration of a wise land
policy, create some three or four thousand holdings within the next ten or fifteen years, owned, inhabited and used
by their occupiers, each one becoming a
home and family inheritance, and equal
to the generous maintenance of a healthy
family .life, would we not be working more
effectively for the future peace and prosperity of our country than would bo
possible by any other disposition of our
resources ?"
I
We sought recuperation last week in
an afternoon run to Ewa Plantation, and
observation of the new mill and machinery. The great structure is mostly
closed in with its corrugated iron covering. We climbed twenty feet or more
to a flooring at the top of the diffusioh
cells, whence a fine outlook was had
over the lands. A large tract has just
69
been ploughed and planted, say 150
acres, next the coral below the mill.
The machinery is, much of it, already
in place. The twenty-eight long diffusion cells, with their pipes and appurtenances, occupy the east end. On the
south side, somewhat elevated, are four
strange iron boxes for evaporating the
juice, marked "Multiple Effect, Swensun's Patent, Fort Scott, Kansas."
They look like mammoth Saratoga
trunks. A long range of eighteen centrifugal separators occupy a central
position, with the iron stagings above
them for the great triple effect vacuum
pans. The engines, the rolling mill,
the slicers, were apparently not yet on
the ground. Some very solid masonry
of squared stones was being finished,
the stones having been delivered from
Honolulu by rail much more cheaply
than they could have been hauled by
cart from the neighboring hillsides.
Nine hundred acres of very handsome
cane have four months yet to grow before being shavtd into thin slices, and
their juice soaked out in the diffusion
cells. This is the new process, as unlike the old, as flour milling with rollers
to the old millstone process. A crop
of over 1,000 tons is hoped for.
On the return train, we were boarded
at Pearl City by Dr. and Mrs. J. M.
Whitney, looking brown and hearty,
from a few weeks' outing at Kahuku,
the extreme north point of Oahu, 48
miles from Honolulu. They had come
'My miles by stage, on the first through
trip of White's Stage Line. Dr. W. reports the Kahuku cane as having a magnificent growth, a statement confirmed by
Mr. Halstead, the successful Waialua
planter. Tiny were much interested in
the strange sandstone cliffs at Kahuku,
which need additional study, though
discussed by Dana an 1 others. They
had also feasted on the noble oranges of
the Kahuku valleys, the last of the old
crop. The Kahuku and Waialua oranges
far surpass in size and quality any others
that appear in the Honolulu market.
A Ponape Symposium.—On Saturday,
Aug. 15th, the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society held their monthly meeting at Mr. W. W. Hall's. The evening
was given mainly to receiving information about the island of Ponape. Queen
Liliuokalani was present by invitation,
listening with interest. Mr. Rand first
gave a topographical account, aided by
a map. Prof. Alexander briefly discussed the racial and language relations of
the inhabitants. Mrs. Rand read a spirited and compact account of the late
Spanish occupation, and the difficulties
with the people. All felt much indebted
for these illustrations of the subject.

THE FRIEND.
Homesteads.
We give elsewhere, an- abstract of
Judge Dole's valuable paper on the importance of small land-holdings. It must
be generally felt that the class of farmers
of moderate means is the one most
needed to be created in this country.
Our Portuguese fellow-citizens will naturally contribute largely to supplying
this valuable class of the community.
As resources for remunerative culture,
there will be coffee, cotton, dairy products,
hay, and especially fruits for exportation, such as oranges and pineapples.
For the profitable culture of fruits, the
farmer must have ready access to a leading seaport. Much will have to be done
by the government in building roads into the splendid coffee lands of Kona and
Puna on Hawaii, and through other
districts. The extension of the Oahu
Railway around this island will bring
large tracts of valuable uplands into
communication with Honolulu.
The conversion of Crown Lands to
the public use is becoming loudly called
for, the Sovereign to receive a proper
annuity in lieu of the present revenue
from those lands. These valuable lands
will then furnish large numbers of excellent homesteads to settlers, the taxes on
which will form an important addition
to the public revenue.
The present depression of sugar must
render many plantations unprofitable.
This will tend to make many considerable tracts of private land available to
homestead purchasers. Sugar has been
an immense resource for the development of this country. Yet one's ideal
for our future, must look to the multiplication of a myriad cheerful country
homes, rather than to the absorption of
the country by great plantations, to the
exclusion of homesteads, with their
wholesome social influence-.
Work upon the Volcano Road is reported to have been resumed. The
finished half has been such a comfort to
travelers that much impatience has been
felt at the long delay in building the upper half of the road. The new route
adopted is said to be a very interesting
one. The new Hotel at Kilauea is to
be finished in October. When the road
is finished, it will be within four hours
smooth driving from Hilo, through most
picturesque scenes, and must speedily
become a place of great resort.
The Royal Progress.—By a recen
visit to Waianae and Ewa on this island,
Her Majesty has completed her very
thorough and systematic touring of the
kingdom. She has thus shown herself
personally to nearly all her subjects.
She has expressed interest in theii
welfare, has given them much good
advice, and by her kindly and sympathetic demeanor, has done much
to create a personal attachment and
confidence. As The Friend has had
occasion to remark in past years, there
has been a pernicious atmosphere about
the Palace, inherited from past reigns.
This is so strong and abiding that only
great force of personal excellence in the
Sovereign can make the Court a source
of wholesome influence. We are glad
to record that, so far as we can learn,
the Queen has done much to carry with
her such healthy influence, as she has
visited her people. We earnestly pray
and hope that her reign may prove to
be a most beneficient one to the Hawaiian race.

Rev. A. N. Fisher.—We deeply regret that by the advice of his physician
in San Francisco, this able and devoted
brother, has felt compelled to resign his
charge of Superintending the Methodist
Episcopal Mission to the Japanese in
these islands, which he has so ably conducted. Mrs. Fisher after awaiting
advices, took passage last week in the
Australia to join her husband. The
congregation at Central Union Church
felt peculiarly favored on July 26th, by
two sermons of remaikable spiritual and
literary grace from our dear brother,
who preached in much bodily weakness,
but great spiritual strength.

Our Delegate at the International Council.
Ben Hogan.
On Sunday evening Aug. 2.3d, a well
packed house at Central Union Church,
listened to Ben Hogan the reformed
pugilist. Large numbers of the audience
were persons rarely seen in a church.
He told with a certain graphic simplicity
a story of his life just before his conversion, which was not edifying, except as
its dark shadow illustrated his change
to the light. He was then unable to
read, but making large sums of money,
and living stylishly at hotels, drinking
freely of wine, and gambling. While
cruising about town with his much
tried wife, in search of amusements, hedrifted into a Sunday night meeting in a
theater. There he signed a temperance
pledge. After three days of painful
keeping of it, he was on the point of
seeking something to brace up his
nerves. A sight of himself in a glass
disclosed a ghastly, shattered condition.
The strong athlete, proud of his physique
seemed becoming a wreck. He was
horrified. A mighty power seized upon
him. He fell upon his knees, and cried
to God to save him out of this ruin.
His heart was filled with a strange
triumph and joy. He went out among
all his boon companions, telling them
"I pray"! Just those words "I pray" !
They thought him insane. But from
that he went forward, learned to read
the Bible, and spent all his money in
efforts to convert souls. We were
deeply moved to think how the merciful
loving Spirit stooped to touch and vivify
that poor blind soul, and fill him with
divine joy. He had sought his Father.
He had found Him. Can each of us
truly say, "I pray" I
The Intel national Council of Congregational Chinches having invited the
Hawaiian Churches to participate, Justice Lawrence McCully was commissioned as our Delegate to the great
meeting of the Council held in London
in July. Mr. and Mrs. McCully report
themselves to have been most hospitably
entertained, and have greatly enjoyed
the meetings. Judge McCully was listened to with much interest on the 21st,
the closing day, in an address of some
ten minutes, in which he briefly reviewed the religious condition of the Islands,
and spoke favorably of the Queen, and
of the good order of the country. We
may congratulate ourselves .in having
secured so capable a representative in
this important Council.

A Fri'it CULTURE Movement. Several persons have recently started plans
for raising pineapples at Fwa, and two
fruit companies have been formed for
cultivating those and other fruit. The
location is considered a good one, chosen
mainly with reference to easy trans
portation by rail. The upland valleys
of that region are known to be especially
adapted to orange culture, and Manager
Dillingham is advertising for 50.11(10
orange seedlings to be delivered within
sixteen months, doubtless in order to
facilitate the evidently active movement.
We strongly welcome this fruit movement, because we believe it has every
element of success, and because it pro
mises to create a class of intelligent
agriculturists. This class is one of the
greatest social needs of this country.
Bare-footed Bill.- Like "Jack the
Ripper", this is the mythical name of
an individual who occasionally leaves
tracks of huge bare feet. He enters one
or more places of business burglariously
on each of two or three nights in a week.
Nearly all of these places are within a
pistol shot of the Police Station, on
streets filled with the glare of electric
lights. Several stores immediately adjacent to the Station have been entered.
The burglar does some damage in
breaking in and breaking open desks
and drawers. He takes little save coin,
gaining from $5 to $10, and occasionally
a larger haul. This has been going on
for several weeks. For some reason,
the police have failed to gain any clue
to this marauder. The public wait with
interest to hear that he has looted the
police station itself. Otherwise the city
seems to be dwelling in profound peace
and safety. Uncle Sam has for several
weeks not regarded us as needing the
protection of a war vessel, and we seem
not to be disquieted thereby.

John Wise is spending his suinmei
vacation doing carpenter work in Oher
lin. In speaking of bis trip to North
field to attend the Convention for BibleStudy held at the Moody school, he
writes, "We left Oberlm June 'Jt'.tli, and
saw Buffalo, Albany, Troy, Hoosac
Tunnel, and arrived at Northfield June
27th, at 1:30 p.m. After a half hour's
ride we reached the grounds. The hills
and the valleys reminded me of my
island home, and for a time I was quite
homesick. We had our liist meeting at
8 P.M., and I saw Mr. Moody for the
first time. I went up to him and had
quite a talk with him. At the farewell
meeting (which closed the convention)
I was called on ami made a ten-minute
speech. Over 500 students were present
from all around the world, and 1 am
sure we all received great blessings. I
feel that I have gained much by this
going east lam stronger for my work.
I would like to go once more to Northfield before returning home, because I
feel that my work will be of an evangelistic nature and Mr. Moody can help
me a great deal. We heard Dr. Smith
of Edinburgh, Prof. Thompson of Philadelphia, Prof. Harper of Chicago, Prof.
Munhall (of I forget where}, and many
others. The whole atmosphere of
Northfield is filled with the glory of
God, to see the place is to know that
Cod dwells there."
The Hon. Lawrence McCully, our
Delegate to the Pan-Congregational
Council held in London, writes (July
13th): "About ten days ago, I presented
my credentials to the Assistant Secretary
received. Being asked if we would accept private hospitality, I expressed
some doubt as to the propriety of it in
my case, as we were already living at a
hotel, and we might not employ all our
time in attending the meetings of the
council, having some sight-seeing yet to
do. On being told that my conscientious difficulty need not be a difficulty,
I assented. He told me we had been
selected for guests by a Mr. Albert
Spicer, about the nicest house they had.
By what 'suites' Mr. Spicer made this
selection in the dark I know not, but
going there on the 11th, the Saturday
evening proceeding the week of the
Council, we find that the lines of your
delegates have truly fallen in pleasant
places.
"Mr. Spiieis's family live at Woodford
on the edge of Kpping Forest, a halfhour's ride by train from the Liverpool
Station. Here is a commodious and
well-appointed house in ample grounds.
We have spent the Sunday and have
promise of a most pleasant week. There
will be other guests in the house, two of
which have arrived. Dr. Kaseby and
wife of Sydney agreeable people —he

done this morning- a'breakfast at the

and Colonial Delegates. I met Prof.
1-isKc, who at once spoke to me of Dr.
Hyde. Many others I met who are not
fixed by any circumstance. I was proud
ol our Americans in the speeches made
at the breakfast.
"You will see by the piogramme that
apparently all the work is cut and dried
for the men selected to give papers, and
nothing heft lor debate or committee
business. So your delegate may, probably must, represent you by attendance
merely at meetings, breakfasts and garden parties, and by social interviews, of
which I shall make many."
We learn that the Judge was afterward called on to make a speech, j

first p rt of my time here in arranging and

Logan had prepared, that no one before

that he may have it to use on his way down.

our needs are very great. Mr. Snelling is
doing all that he can, hut he can not be in

is away at the out stations ol course the
school must be neglected. It seems to
me very long t.me to wait for these children who are in our schools to grow up befere the melange can he sent out among
the people, and 1 hope that we should have
more help, that the "brighter day" may
not be so very long in coming. I have
found the wi rk very much as 1 expected,

not realized that the mission to these Is

in the future will be. I received the
warmest welcome wlun I reached here,
and have found mough to keep me busy
all of the time, though I have been very
anxious to conquer the language so that
I can talk free.y with the people. I commenced teaching in the Sunday School
when I had been here two months. At
first I wrote what I wished to say, and Mrs.
Logan corrected it and I read it as best
I could. Now Ido not often ask corrections, and sometimes talk without the paper.
I fouud it very much easier to read the
language than to understand it when I hear
it spoken. I have tried two small meetings one with some ol the women and one
with some of the girls who are in the
general School.
I have visited a few of the huts, homes
I cannot say, to see some sick people. At
first I felt as though I could not enter them,
as they are so low and foul, but for the
hope of helping a poor woman I have been

and time so that one of us can give her
time to work for the women. I have been
wishing since I have seen so much suffering, that I could have a hospital for the
children, and so take care of some who
are sadly neglected and who die in consequence. Just now within call, almost, of
our home, a little girl lies dying, that I
think might have been saved if I could
have given her medicine regularly, but I
could not go to her, and her people could
not care for her. lam not sure that this
would be a wise thing to do, but J know
of very much suffering that could be prevented. Mr. Logan had a thought for a
hospital for grown people, but I do not
think I could possibly take the responsibility of such an establishment. I find that
my work at home, among the colored
people of the South has helped me in verymany ways to be able to understand the
work here and also the people: whether it
is clothed or unclothed humanity, the
heart life is essentially the same, and the
same methods must be used to awaken
them to a new life. Our girls now number

Monthly Meeting.
The business meeting of the V.M
.(
.A.
for August was opened with some lilleen
members present, President G. P. Castle
presiding.
In the Treasure's absence the Secretary read his report, showing total receipts for the month $693.31; disbursements $559.fi11, leaving a balance on
hand $132.71. Besides the ordinary
expenses $2(> for Chess Tables and Slfor Bibles were expended.
The General Secretary, H. W. Leek,
reports continuance of the praise worthy
spirit lately manifested in our Sabbath
evening meetings. The Art and Science
classes are reported as increasing in
numbers. Several of the Y. M. C. A.
committees are to be strengthened by
the addition of new members.
The report of the Chairman of
Devotional Ce>mmittee printed elsewhere,
speaks of some changes in the Friday
night meetings. It is full of interest.
Chairman C. B. Ripley of the Temperance Committee says: "During the
past two months we have been engaged
in securing inforniatiem and statistics
which will be used in aggressive tun
perance work at the proper time.'' This
committee has had special meetings,
and in them, has prepared the preliminary work looking towards the formation
of a Temperance League.
Chairman J. E. Hid well of the Visitation Ce>mmittee reports special meeting and appointment of various mem
bers to the different departments of the
work. Twelve sick calls were made
this month. Fifteen vessels have been
visited, with very gratifying results. A
destitute family was supported and look
ed after for some time until taken in
charge by a society. An Australian
Y. M. C. A. man was found in one of
the vessels. He was overjoyed to Snd
a Y. M. C. A. in Honolulu.
Chairman E. Bennerof the Invitation
Committee tells us of their successful
efforts in detailing the members of the
Committee to individual work. They
will cooperate with the visitation committee in street work, and have decided
to remodel the Invitation Cards. They
are firmly determined te> do more e>utside work on the streets and among the
shipping.
The Chairman of the Reading Room
Committee, Dr. Hyde, reports the rooms
well patronized by an appreciative public. Among the newspapers, the S. I'\
Alta has been replaced by the S. F. Examiner. The Committee would gladly
send reading matter to any locality em
the Islands as well as among the shipping if communicated with. A request
is made that the place left vacant by
Mr. K. A. Jones he filled.
Chairman F. J. Lowrey of the Entertainment Committee reports two special
committee meetings this month. At the
first was considered an offer from California parties to give a series of illustrated lectures. The Cominitte were unable
to avail themselves of the offer. The
Rev. W. 11. Gulick was invited to give
a talk on Spain, which he did to an appreciative audience. At the second
meeting, it was decided to arrange for a
series of six practical talks. But in
view of Mr. Hogan's presence with us,
as well as the public lectures of the Art
and Science Club, it was decided to
leave the elates of tlie:se six talks open
for the- present. An entertainment from
which it is hoped to realise financially
is also in view for the near future.
Chairman G P. Castle of Employment Committee gave an oral report in
which he told of many applications for
work. The Committee have been able
to find employment for but few.
No report was received from the Fin-
ance Committee.
A collection of $6 was taken up.
Five new voting members, Messrs.
Ellis, Castino, Kayser, Rhodes and Dr.
Nichols, and two new associate members, Messrs. Putnam anil Silva, seven
in all, were- added to the Association.
The special report of the Temperance
Committee on the new league was submitteel.
It
was
decided that
a
special
meeting of the Y. M. C. A. be called to
consider this report.
The suggestion of putting wire mosquito netting in the windows anil door
ef the Reading Room was referred to the
Board of Directors.
A very interesting talk by Mr. Hogan
on his experiences in temperance work,
closed what was perhaps the most interesting meeting ol the year.

Winning Men.
How can we win men ?" has been a
ever present to Christians.
No one can give an unqualified answer.
Some general methods may be stated,
which when varied to suit any particular
Paul, in
case will generally succeed.
I Cor, 10:32, 33, gives us one secret of
his success.
" Give DO occasion of stumbling either
to Jews or to Greeks, or to the Church
of God ; even as I also please all men in
all things not seeking mine own profit,
but the profit of the many that they may
be saved."
Paul was a close student of human
nature. As far as possible he adapted
himself to the men with whom he came in
contact. To the Jew, proud of his descent from Abraham, he dwelt upon the
honors anel glories of such an ancestor,
but led up to the one theme- Christ.
The learnedly superstitious Athenian al-

ways ready to hear some new doctrine
was taught Christ from an inscription
on an altar "To the Unknown God."
Paul took advantage of any tendency in
the right direction.
Starting with something upon which
all agreed he leel up to the higher truth.
He avoided exciting opposition or arousing prejudice, yet no man could state, or
did state, the truth in plainer terms. The
secret of it was that he used his common
sense in religitius matters as well as in
worldly affairs. Now, perhaps, we can
give a better answer to the question,
"How will you win a man ?" By knowing him, studying him. Study him as carefully as ye>u possibly can. Find out the
trend of his thoughts. Find out his
prejudices and his preferences. How is
it possible to do this in every case? It
is not possible for everyone to know each
case even e>f those with whom we often

is possible for each Christian to thoroughly know the character of at least a
few. If each of us would use that knowledge for God, as we do use it in advancing our business, what a change would
appear in the religious life of our neighbors and ourselves !
The world is full of God. His hand
is easily seen in nature, in all that is
What of
neible, true and elevating.
that? Why, use it to win your brother.
Somewhere in each human heart you
will find nuggets of gold deposited by
the Spirit at God. Dig them out of
your brother's life and use them as
the nucleus for the deposit of more. Is
he a lover of home or is he loyal to a
friend ? Take that as your starting
point, encourage him in that, and yet by
your thought and life show the superiority of "The Friend, that sticketh closer
than a brother."
We often have need to win a brother
Christian. What an ignoble sight it is
to find men who profess to have taken
upon themselves the name of Christ and
yet are not men on speaking terms.
How painfully true it is that Christians
often run down each other's reputation.
Do we expect to win our brother in that
way? Men who pray for help to the
same God. Men who are fighting their
way upward to Ge>d by the aid of His
spirit, are femnel picking flaws in each
e>ther. Getd deicsn't do that; nor is it
Godlike to do it —the very reverse. How
can we win a brother ? By doing as
(iod does.
He who knows all things and can
fully appreciate the struggles, failures
and victories of these human hearts ever
uplifts, ever listens with infinite tenderness to the faintest prayer for help to
live the Christ-like life; He it is that we
shoulel imitate. What shall be said of
a Christian, who wraps himself up in exclusiveness, folds himself up in the robes
of "social distinction," and can find little or no heartfelt and action-producing
sympathy for those whose natural life is
on a lower plane—what shall be said ?

in our love for man. It can't be simulated. It isn't patronizing or condescending. It is natural, for when a man hecomes a Christian, he is born into a new

haps, we shrink from the cold, calculating, commercial view of the Atonement,
wherein the sufferings of Christ are represented as thrown into one arm of the
scales to balance the weight of human
desert cast into the other. * *
Criticizing, however, that "steel-yard"
method of interpreting atonement, is an
entirely different thing from saying that
the guilt of our sins, yours and mine,
does not need in some way to be compensated for. The theory that if a man
does wrong, all that is necessary in order
to have the case made good, is that he
should repent of the wreing, is demoralizing; it would be fatal to the administration of civil government; and is just
as certain to blur, in man's estimate, the
administration of the divine government.
It cheapens holiness, and keeps iniquity
in good spirits. It is a thought ingrained in the human mind, history through,
that sin is stamped with a cost-mark.
The doctrine of sacrifice for sin has always kept pace with the keenness of the
sense of sin. *
*
There is almost nothing that we need
more to feel than that sin is bad, and
the more feeling we do have of that, the
clearer it becomes to us that sin needs
to have some sort of notice taken of it,
and that pain is its natural seeiuencs.
NOW Atonement fits that fact ; I do not
know how ; I have ne> particular anxiety
to understand how. The matter is so
great a one. and the beginnings of it so
deep and so far away that thought at its
best has probably never done more than

benefits of that sacrifice. *
We are saved not by our theory of the
atonement, but by the atonement. Sometinn s I have one theory of it, and sometimes I have another theory of it, and
more commonly I haven't any theory of
it, but that does not interrupt its efficacy,
any more than having no theory in regard to light prevents the daylight from
coming in at the windows. "God so
