In a morning walk up Punchbowl, looking off upon the city with its rapidly growing improvements, the thought strongly presented itself; All this is the It is their work of our Mechanics. trained hands and eyes that have fashioned #all these beautiful dwellings, stores, and churches. They Jiave all been planned and devised by the brains of the mechanics who have risen in theii calling by diligence and study. Our mechanics have directly created this beautiful city by their skill and their labor. Without their knowledge, their aptitude, their toil, it could not have been bettered above the thatched cottages that dotted these grounds fifty years ago. It is well then that our Mechanics should unite to promote their own and the public welfare. To every such organization that they form, we wish the best direction and the highest efficiency. Our public affairs need the ablest and best organized aid of this essential and prominent element in the-community. Every public interest needs their active cooperation. Every reform needs their assistance. Especially do the personal IN MEMORIAM. Mrs. Melicent K. Smith. This beloved and honored Missionary mother was taken to her rest last week, after some twenty months of severe illness. She died at her home in Koloa, Kauai, Sept. 24th, in the 75th year of her age. During nearly the whole of the period named she had been confined to her bed, requiring constant care by day and night. In immediate care of their mother, were the Misses Emma and Juliette Smith, and Dr. J. K. Smith. The deceased was born at Greenwich, Ct., Oct. 15th, 1818, Dr. and Mrs. Smith, with Rev. and Mrs. Rowell sailed from Boston in 1842, via Cape Horn, in the brig Abigail, of 210tons, arriving at Honolulu, Sept. 21st. She had resided in this Kingdom just forty-nine years, without once leaving the islands. Indeed she rarely left her home on Kauai. On that island she was a radiant center of influence. Rare mental and personal charms, a character of strength and force, a consecrated and elevated spirit, made her a power for good to the people for whom she and her noble husband labored. They also made her a person of the highest social importance on that island. One could hardly be said to have known Kauai, who had not sojourned in the gracious and hospitable home of Dr. and Mrs. Smith, which was the only stopping place for strangers passing through Koloa. During the arduous labors of Dr. Smith as a medical missionary, and his frequent and protracted absences on duty, often toother islands, Mrs. Smith's great intelligence enabled her to take his place in prescribing and supplying mcd- icines to the natives and often to foreigners. Her labors in that work were often heavy. She was peculiarly trusted and loved by the people. In Sabbath School work, and in the prayer meetings, her labors were great, notwithstanding the care of her large young family. One of the most prominent and effective departments of Mrs. Smith's missionary work was in conducting, for a long period, the Koloa Girls' Training School, of some 2-r pupils, in conjunction with her daughters, and for a time, her sister Miss Knapp. From this school have gone forth a large number of well trained and useful Christian Hawaiian women. Her mental faculties were active to the last. She calmly conversed of her approaching end, and arranged for it, in the full assurance of faith and hope. Of nine children, two died in infancy. The survivors are Miss Emma C. Smith, of Koloa; Mrs. Judge A. S. Hartwell, of Honolulu; Hon. William O. Smith, of Honolulu; Dr. Jared K. Smith, of Koloa; Mr. Alfred H. Smith, of Ewa Plantation; Mrs. Wm. Waterhouse, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Miss Juliette Smith, of Koloa. Twenty grand children also survive her. Thus has closed a noble life, rich in beauty and in fruit. It is such lives as these, which have planted deep in Hawaiian soil, the seeds of the highest life and progress, and which have generated all that is hopeful in our future. > Miracles. There is abundant evidence that the whole material universe undergoes all its movements and changes according to fixed, exact, and changeless laws. A stone inevitably falls to the ground by the law of gravity, unless something interposes. If you see stones go sailing through the air instead of falling to the ground, you impute that to the interfering agency of some person who is projecting the stones. There is no violation of the law of gravity; that is immutable. But a personal force is applied which changes the result. This, however, is not a miracle; because it is not wonderful. It is nothing but what human personal force is adequate to produce. If Elijah smites the river with his mantle, and the rushing water stops and heaps up, leaving dry ground for the prophet to cross upon, it is perfectly reasonable and philosophical to infer that a great personal force has been exerted by some being to produce that wonderful effect. The Law of Gravity has not been violated or neutralized, but its effect has been counteracted by an opposing �76 force not visible to the eye. As human by Higher Critics. A vast amount of force is manifestly inadequate, it is historical research has been expended. sound to infer that a higher than human Men have grown famous in these re—a superhuman power has done it. searches and explorations.

From the this miracle. 16th century to the present day, from Observe, we deny emphatically and Erasmus to Tischendorf and Tregelles, absolutely, that a miracle is a "violation Alford and Wescott, learned scholars of a law of Nature."

There is a general that being. It is just as philosophical believe that God has thus interposed His personal force and performed miracles, as to believe that men do great works. Whether any alleged particular miracle has been actually so wrought, is simply a matter of historical research and evidence, like any other historical to event. The fact that multitudes of pretended miracles have been performed, does not justify the discarding of all miracles. It only imposes the duty of great care and caution in weighing the evidence as to any alleged series of miracles. To deny altogether the reality of such miracles October, 1891. THE FRIEND. agreement among leading scholars as to what is the correct text of the Creek New Testament,and all versions in other languages are now made from such a Standard Greek Text. Much similar work has also been expended upon the Old Testament, but the results are less satisfactory, because the old Hebrew manuscripts have disappeared. While we can be sure that we now have the books of the New Testament, substantially as they were originally written, we are compelled to be equally certain that in the Old Testament there is a multitude of errors, most of them of no serious importance, but which there seems to us quite as unscientific and are no means of correcting. illogical as to believe in all miracles. The Higher Criticism also, has long been very busy upon the New TestaThe Higher Criticism. ment, especially during the present century. The names of Strauss, Baur and There are what are called the "Lower Renan successively became famous for Criticism" and the "Higher Criticism," their powerful, ingenious, and brilliant which are applicable to all ancient books. attacks upon nearly all the books of the Take for example, the Iliad and Odyssey New Testament, which they tried to prove, could not have, been written by of Homer. The business of the Lower the persons, nor at the time, to which Criticism is "to settle the text," that is, they are attributed. They argued that to compare all the ancient Greek manu- those books have grown up somehow scripts of Homer's works, and find out during the second and third centuries as accurately as possible, what were after Christ, and that their statements probably the actual words of the poems of fact were therefore unhistorical and as they originally existed. It is also, as imaginary. Meantime Baur effectually we understand, a part of the work of the confuted the particular hypotheses of Lower Criticism, to determine the actual Strauss, and Renan confuted them both, each having a different scheme of his meaning of the writer's language. The task of the Higher Criticism is a own, by which to account for the way very different one. That would inquire, in which the books grew up. On the who really wrote the Iliad and the other sid«, in support of the authenticity Odyssey, which tradition attributes to of the books, a great array of able critics Homer?

A multitude confidence as it is now. The battle has of volumes have been written upon them been fought and won for the complete and certain truth of the New Testament history. There has been no fault in Higher Criticism itself, in its true principles and proper working. The error has lain in a certain false and unphilosophical rule of judgment, which has coirupted the work of Strauss and Co. from beginning to end, and has vitiated all their results. That false canon or rule of Criticism has been made by them a fundamental one, and has plunged them into hopeless mazes of error. Their chief canon is this; wherever a miracle of any sort is reported, it is an error. It is "unhistorical;" it is a thing impossible to have happened. It must therefore be accounted for, either as a piece of wilful deception on the part of the wonderworker, or else as a misconception of fact on the part of the observers and narrators, if not a falsehood. If it is none of these, and few of the Bible miracles can be thus accounted for—the solution is very simple; of coutse the story must have been written long after the event, when mists and marvels had gathered about the history by natural accretion. Consequently, the Gospels and other books must have been written long after the events described. This false rule of criticism lies at the bottom of all the critical work of Strauss, Baur, Renan, and their many followers, and fully accounts for all their vagaries and untenable theories. The work of these errorists has, nevertheless, been of the utmost use, in an indirect way. It has led to such a profound and exhaustive searching of the New Testament and of all books and monuments contributing information about it, that the Book is now known as it never was before, and never would have been known but for the tremendous struggles of that war about its authen- ticity. HIGHER CRITICISM Of TUB OLD •> TESTAMENT. The field of conflict has latterly been transferred to the Old Testament, at which a new set of Anti-miracle Critics have set themselves with a zeal rivalling that of those before named. They have the advantage, such as it is, of working in a region of greater obscurity. The Hebrew language is less thoroughly understood than the Greek. Moses and the other writers lived when no other histories were written. There was no contemporary literature. It was all deep back in the long ago. Kuenen, Wellhausen & Co., who have led in this work can disport their fancies freely in constructing hypothesesof authorship, which cannot so easily be disproved as those of later periods. As miracles, they say, are impossible, and God could not have revealed himself to men as described, they conclude that the five books of Moses and that of Joshua, constituting the "Hexateuch," are the work of later writers, and of several different ones. �Volume 49, No. 10.] They also have a great variety of differ- teuch, and many other points for which ent hypotheses about the oftier books. they seem to find strong evidence, but In fact they have among them several who yet cling firmly to the principle of hundred different parts of schemes for a direct revelation to Israel from God, explaining how the books came to be written, all more or less contradictory of each other. They only agree in the belief that Moses and the earlier prophets could not possibly have written them. The points in which the Higher Critics are most generally agreed, are that the work of from four to six different writers (Kuenen makes seventeen; Wellhausen twenty-two) can be traced in the Hexateuch. These different men, living between 900 and 45(1 B. C, had part in composing ourpresent Pentateuch, which may be divided into four main documents, marked D, E, J, P, mixed together in great confusion, and now with great difficulty partly disentangled. E is an "Elohist" writer; J is a "Jehovist;" D is a "Deuteronomist;" P is a "Priestcodist." Many add R for "Redactor." These subtle critics are able to discern and distinguish infallibly the different styles of the several writers, and to disentangle their separate contributions from each other, as they are intermingled in the same chapters. They do this by their peculiar critical insight and acumen, as one distinguishes the handwritings of his acquaintances from each other. The reasons for their conclusions can be imparted only to minds like their own in gifts and attainments. The rest of the world must accept the work of these Critics in simple faith. As Dr. Howard Osgood sets forth at length in the Independent of July 30th, their methods and procedures are for the most part, in the highest degree unscientific. As an example, a recent writer of this school has proved to his own satisfaction that King David could not possibly have composed any of the Psalms, because he was too low and heathen in his ideas about Jehovah, to have written such advanced and elevated thoughts of God. It is the established conclusion of this school of critics, that the Jehovah of the Israelites was originally a tribal God, like Chemosh of the Moabites, but that the nation gradually and spontaneously evolved or developed the idea of a Holy Supreme Cod, not, however, until towards the time of the Exile. Evolution, which accounts for everything, is made to account for the wonderful and unique religion of the Jews, although all the neighboring nations, with the same environment, kept plunging deeper and more darkly into polytheism, and but for the Elijahs and the Isaiahs, dragging Israel with them. 'These critics, as a class, wholly discard the possibility of any direct Revelation or Inspiration from God. EVANGELICAL HIGHF.tt CRITICS. 77 THE FRIEND. and to the truth of miraculous interpositions. They are devout, earnest Christians, and men of profound learning, such as Delitzch, Francis Brown, and Charles A. Briggs. They may or may not have been more or less carried away by the specious arguments of the leading school of the HigherCritics. We have no Semitic learning qualifying us to form any judgment upon this question. It seems to us not improbable that Moses in Genesis and Exodus incorporated the work of earlier writers. Nor is the idea to be hastily rejected that lateradditions to Moses' work may have been incorporated with the Pentateuch. Such questions cannot be dogmatically settled, but must be left to the study and research of competent scholars and experts to see what can be learned about them. This school of Evangelical Critics, Dr. Briggs, as we understand him, included, firmly believe that God did directly and continuously reveal his will and ways to Noah, Abraham, Moses and Israel as recorded in the Old Testament. To them the questions of the precise authorship of the different books and parts of books are of minor importance. They feel that the whole Old Testament pulsates with the presence of the Living God, and throbs with the power of the Holy Ghost inspiring the Prophets of the Lord. They do indeed depart from the old ways of most of their churches, in denying Plenary Inspiration to the book, and admitting more or less Errancy to exist, especially in merely historical statements. But they appear to hold strongly to a very mighty Dynamic Inspiration filling the Book, in such degree and power, as to reveal God very clearly and unmistakably, so as to render the Book a sure guide in the knowledge of His will and ways. phasized by the action taken in his case last June by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. Union Seminary had just elected Dr. Briggs to the chair of Biblical Theology. By agreement of the Directors many years ago, the General Assembly had the privilege of vetoing such appointment. They exercised that power, and disapproved, by an overwhelming majority of about 400 This to 60, or over eighty per cent. vote undoubtedly expresses the deliberate judgment of the majority of the ministers and elders of the Presbyterian churches, that by reason of his errors, this distinguished scholar and accom- plished teacher is unfit to take part in training their young ministers. This vote does not pronounce him such a heretic as to be unfit to teach the common people as a minister. That is the business of his Presbytery. The Assembly only declares him unfit to train young ministers to teach the people. The Directors of Union Seminary have formally declined to be governed by this veto' of the Assembly. They stand by their appointment. In so doing, they undoubtedly set themselves in antagonism to the positive opinion of their Church. The contest is necessarily a very serious one. The action of the Assembly was severely attacked by the friends of Dr. Briggs in the N. Y. Evangelist. He had no trial. He was not present. He had no opportunity to answer his accusers. No charges were formulated against him. No friend of his was appointed on the Committee to consider his case. The Chairman and leading spirits of that Committee were chosen from Princeton, the great rival of Union Seminary. It must probably be admitted that the action of the Assembly would have had more appearance of fairness and justice, if that Committee had been differently constituted, and the friends of Dr. Briggs had been heard before it. It would also Dr. Briggs on His Trial as a Heretic. have had more moral weight with the general public, if the action had been The agitation centering about the case more deliberate.

Dr. Beckwith, on the evening of the 27th, preached a discourse of great fitness and power, to the youth of our schools, a large representation of whom were present. In the September number of The Review of Reviews appears an article on the Hawaiian Kingdom by Sereno E. Bishop. A special head-line, "The Cross-Roads of the Pacific," is given to it on the title-page of the magazine. 150 copies were promptly sold out by the news-rooms, and more are ordered. To the writer of the article, its chief interest lies in certain forecastings as to the effect upon our international relations, of the pending opening «f the Nicaragua Canal. This also appears to be the opinion of the American editor of the Review, Dr. Albert Shaw, who solicited the writing of the article. The reputation of the English editor, W. B. Stead, has given this monthly an immense circulation. We have received many favorable expressions about our article, as adapted to be of service to Hawaii abroad. Homesteads.—Apropos of Judge Dole's article, noticed in our last issue, notice is given of fifty ten-acre homesteads to.be disposed of from Crown Lands near Olaa, on the Volcano Road. The leases are nominally for thirty years, but will undoubtedly soon merge into fee simple titles from the government. The soil is of the richest, rain copious, and road to Hilo the very best. This will be a great boon to small farmers, like the Portuguese. The lands are suited to coffee, oranges, bananas, etc., and the higher tracts, to Irish potatoes. Larger tracts in the same region are to be had on long leases, which also will soon become convertible into full titles. About a month ago, there was serious difficulty at Kohala, between a large body of Chinese laborers who came by the Pactolus, and the Chinese agent who had negotiated their labor with the Planters. The trouble is charged to resident Chinese, who were opposed to a decline in wages, and who stirred up the new comers to dissatisfaction with their pay. It is credibly charged that the police used considerable unnecessary violence towards the complainants, who were probably more or less disorderly. No official report of the affair has yet been made public. It is both right and politic that full investigation should be made, and exact justice should be done, in the case of such new comers, as well as of all other contract laborers. , �Volume 49, No. 10.] 79 THE FRIEND. Lahaina has got a Sprinkling Cait. What Lahaina ought to have had thirty years ago, was good water works, for which there is every natural facility. They would have made a Paradise of that dusty neglected beach. Waikiki is nowhere in natural beauty, compared with Lahaina, which ought to become the finest seaside resort of the Pacific. The Water Famine has been allayed by a moderate quantity of mountain showers, filling the reservoirs. A curious evil attending empty water pipes, is the way in which persons open a tap, and no water coming, forget to close it. Considerable damage has been done this way by open taps over stores. Her Majesty the Queen has lately been taking active horseback exercise, by medical advice, to recuperate health, severely strained of late by the labors of the Royal Progress and by domestic affliction.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by th** Board is responsible forits contents. Rev. O. P. Emerson, 81 THE FRIEND. - Editor. The North Pacific Missionary Insti- tute is to open on the 12th of October. The Oahu Evangelical Association is Waialua with Pastor Timoteo. Exercises are to commence on Wednesday the 7th at 10 a.m. to hold its fall meeting at The contract for building the Portuguese Chapel at Hilo has been given to Mr. Anderson, who has been doing some fine work there of late in the line of school building. The Chapel will probably be ready for occupancy by the latter part of November. When it is done we shall expect to see a truly comely structure and one just adapted for the work. The building is to stand on a sightly lot with ample room beside it (or a parsonage. Mr. Baptist and his people are to be congratulated on the prospect of being so speedily and nicely housed in a church-home of their own. On the 10th of September, Rev. A. C. Walkup and two children sailed from this port on the //. W. Almy for Apaiang. Consul Rand was also a fellowvoyager with him. Mr. Rand hopes ultimately to get as far as Ponape. Mr. Walkup will probably stay at Apaiang till the Star arrives. His presence will be very welcome to the brethren of the mission just at this time of great awakening. It is a source of deep regret to us that he cannot at once begin touring through the group. In view of the latest news received it would seem especially helpful could he do so. For these are indeed critical days for that much-stirred people, and they are in great need of wise counsels and strong leadership. The meeting of the Hawaii Association at Hilo was a full one, only two pastors being absent, and only two parishes being without representation. There weie eleven nativePastors present and fifteen delegates. It is to the credit of the Hawaiian brethren that they are so generally faithful in their attendance on these semi-annual gatherings, for the doing of this is attended with much labor, weariness and expenditure of time and money. The meetings began on Thursday the 10th at 10 a.m., and closed*Saturday at 5 p.m. Most of the guests were accommodated at the Haili Parsonage with Pastor Desha, and meals were served there bountifully every day. The scattered Onomea church is being gathered together again and the parsonage there is to be repaired. A complaint against their pastor came from a small faction of the parish at Laupahoehoe, but was dismissed by the Association as unworthy of notice. The Waipio church is in arrears to its pastor. Query:—ls this the result of his five months' absence from his paiish last year ? The leaky parsonage at Waiiriea.has not yet been repaired nor has a new one being built by the committee charged to see to it. 'The Association voted to put Miss Elizabeth Lyons on the committee, and it is believed that by her influence thewoik will now be speedily done. Pastor Kalaiwaa is authorized to raise $500 for the final repair of the big KaiPastor Desha is lua meeting house. very much wanted at Kona. The Association recommended that he think twice before deciding to leave his present field. Alawa, the General Sabbath School Superintendent for the Konas, has been arrogating to'himself undue authority. His case was brought up before the Association for consideiation, and the pastor of the church where he attends was commissioned to return and labor with this mistaken brother, and a committee was appointed to consider the whole matter of the appointment and authority of General Sabbath School Superintend ents. It seems that they are apt to be dictatorial, and that there is a chance of their being mercenary in the performance of what they consider to be their official duties. The question is, Would pastors perform the duties of the office more faith- fully ? The large and important parish of Kau was not represented in the Association either by pastor or delegate. The repairs on the meeting house of Puula, Puna, are finished and there is a deht of $200 to be cleared off. The people at Kalapana, Puna, some time since tore down their meeting house. They have collected about $ 1,-000 for a new one, and are minded to get about $ 1,200 more. The pastor asked the Association to giant him the privilege of going among the churches and raising that sum, but permission was not granted, and he was advised to content himself with a smaller structure, say one costing about $1,500. Friday noon Mr. and Mrs. Terry very kindly lunched the members of the Association in the dining-room of the Boarding School. About sixty were present, and the lumii was most creditably prepared by the boys. After the repast Mr. Terry conducted his guests over the grounds, showed them five acres of fine kalo under cultivation and a field of four hundred thrifty banana plants, and also a field of young coffee trees. Mr. Eugene Lyman is to assist Mr. Terry in the charge of the field work. The work of the past year shows a marked change for the better in this in- stitution, and the prospects for advance during the coming year are most favorable. The next meeting of the Association is tn be held at Puako, Kohala. The last Australian Mail brought us cheering letters from Butaritari, the northernmost of the Gilbert Islands. They were postmarked Sydney, August 12th, and were taken thither by Capt. C. B. Holland. The one translated below is almost gleeful over the good news it gives. Much of the wit and sparkle of Rev. Kanoa's style is lost in the translation. Butaritari, July 0, 1891. To the HawaiianBoard and its Members: I send my fresh-springing love to hearts that have warmed with affection for the Lord Je»us Christ, for us and for this poor pagan people. And you will not be unmindful of the appeal of this love that so touches the conscience. Let us greatly rejoice and be glad, for the Word of God shall not return unto him void until all that were blind shall know him. As for the past, you will bear in mind that while I was in Ualana (Kusaie) and saw the work of the Lord greatly prospering there I wrote, "the work moves on," and the good news was published widely among you. lam sure you have not forgotten those days. Again: When I was at Apaiang with brothers Bingham and Noa, and we were given to teaching and to preaching the Word and to the making of urgent appeals, again I wrote, "the work goes on." And how true the Bible saying is, that "One soweth and another reapeth." Once more I took up the work here at _Butaritari with my brother Moku, and together we toiled, teaching and preaching and urging the people to the truth. Theearly process ofincubation and of brooding is mostly passed and there remains only the time of broad flight. It may be said that in these two fields of the Lord (Butaritari and Makin) there has been a great revival. The coming of the people to the truth has been like the flow of a strong stream. Every book has been sold, and there is an urgdemand for more. Let the new invoice be hastened on. We are eagerly waiting for the coming of the Star with more books. Let the books but get here, and they shall fly broadcast (lele liilii). The king of these islands has been touring among the people with a purpose to turn them to the truth; and lo there has been a mighty awakening. All have ent turned. During the last five months the meeting houses have been packed, and not one left out. We are greatly rejoiced at the work God has wrought, and that he did so move the king of this people to seek their good. And I have a feel(Coitcluded on Cover.) �82 October, 1891. THE FRIEND. THE Y.

The Monthly Y. M. C. A. Business Meeting was held Sept. 17, with some 20 members present, including 6 officers of the Association, and 2 Committee Chairmen. Vice-President C. L. Carter presided. The Treasurer's report for the month showed Receipts $293.21, Disbursements $59.46; Balance on hand $224.05. The General Secretary, in his reports, tells us that several young men converted under Mr. Hogan's evangelistic sermons, have decided to btgin a new life; and some of them have become members of the Y. M. C. A. Many improvements are suggested for the Reading-room. Chairman W. C. W'eedon, of Committee on Devotional Work, report! Sunday evening meetings well attended. Chairman J. E. Bidwell, of Visitation Committee, reports some 12 visits to the Hospital, and 10 visits to ships in the harbor. Bro. Ripley, who has been con fined to his house for some time, is recovering from his illness. Mr. T. R. Walker, Chairman pro tern of Entertainment Committee, reports 3 Stereopticon entertainments at the Y. M. C. A. Hall by Mr. Hogan. Hon. J. B. Atherton, Chairman Finance Committee, reports pledges secur ed so far amounting to $2,665. Out of this are to be paid salaries amounting to $2,100. Efforts should be made to secure $1,000 more. There were no reports from Employment, Invitation or Reading-room Com mittee. A collection of $1.60 was taken up. Thirteen new members were added to the Associatiop: Messrs. A. Reynolds, R. Day, L. Osmer, A. C. C. Atkinson, as voting members; Messrs. H. P. Roth, H. A. Street, E. Brumaghim, O. Jansen, H. Lucas, J. Mitchell, E. T. Zunwaldt, T. R. Franguado, O. L. Soreneon, as associate members. At a special meeting called on Sept. 7, to consider in detail the proposed con stitution of "The Hawaiian 'I emperance League," a few necessary amendments to some of the articles were made, and the Constitution and By-Laws soamended, were adopted. The calling of public meetings was placed in the hands of a Committee of three, to consist of Pres. G. P. Castle, Chairman C. B. Ripley of the Temperance Committee, Gen. Sec. H. W. Peck. J.

The Sunday Evening Meetings have been well attended, notwithstanding it has been a vacation season. The at tendance was as follows: Aug. .'SO, 112; Sept. 6, 86; and Sept. 13, 96, Total 291, the average being 'J*. For the same period of last year, we have the last Sunday in Aug. 55, first Sunday in Sept. 15, and the second Sunday of Sept. 43, making a total of 143, or an average of a little over 47. Thus we have an attendance more than double over the same period of last year. This certainly is very encouraging, but we call alten tion to the fact that while the attendance has so largely increased yet there is not the general participation in llie exercises of the meetings which there should be, and it is earnestly desired that more will study the Topics of the Meetings and take a more active part in them. Since our last monthly meeting Mr, Ben Hogan has been among us and hat held in all 12 meetings in our Hall, be sides giving his Stereopticon Exhibitions which were instructive and interesting. The attendance at the 12 meetings ranged from 07 to 203 with a total of 1,363,and an average of a little over 113 for each meeting. Mr. Hogan impress es one as being deeply in earnest, and we trust his work among us will be abundantly blessed and helpful to many of our residents. The Sunday morning services at the of Jail have been continued, a numberMr. visitors assisting in the singing. Hogan and Dr. Hammond kindly conducted the exercises on separate OCCa sions. We are indebted to Miss Ren wick for her assistance with Portable Organ and in playing the same. Some Bibles distributed among the inmates at this time we think would do good, as we have been asked for one by one of the men. We purpose calling a meeting of your Committee in the near future and hope to devise some plans for additional aggressive work. Fraternally, W'ai TBI C. Wn.ims, Respectfully submitted, Thomas Rain Walker, For the Chairman. Mr. Hogan's Meetings. For 12 nights Mr. Hogan held meetings in the Y. M. C. A. These meetings were attended for the most part by men, and a great many of these were strangers not only to the V.M.C.A. meetings, but to any religious meetings, whatsoever. The story of Mr. Hogan's former life proved very attaactive to them, while his plain, unvanished common sense way of putting Gospel truths was listened to with respect. Many a man was awakened to a sense of the terrible life he was leading; quits a few publicly showing a desire to leave the old way, Mr. Hogan's meetings have done a great good in aiding to break down the hairier that has so long existed here between church-going and nonchurch-going people. Friday Night Prayer Meetings. The Friday night prayer meetings in the Y. M. C. A. have been resumed. These meetings were discontinued during Mr. Hogan's meetings in the Hall. These meetings are the best meetings of the Association. There is greater freedom and a nearer approach to spiritual brotherhood in them than in our more public meetings. All our members should try to be present, not only in order to receive but also to give aid in the work. The Y. M. C. A. had the pleasure of greeting Mr. A. P. Stockwell who is on his way to Melbourne, Australia, to take charge of the Physical Department of the V.M.C.A. of that city. He brought words of cheer and comfort from Mr. McCoy of San Francisco Y. M. C. A. Topics for October. Report of Entertainment Committee. The Chairman of this Committee, Mr. Lowrey, being absent from Honolulu, I respectfully report in his place. During the month, three entertain ments have been conducted by Mr. Hogan, at which his Stereopticon views have been exhibited, and these havebeen largely attended. A fourth similai entertainment is proposed for next Saturday evening, for the special enjoyment of the Kawaiaheo, Kamehameha and other schools. Report of Devotional Committee.
