Ti-.e Sunday-school lesson for the first clay of November tells us that to be fruitful, the disciples must "abide in Christ." It was our Lord's dearest wish for His followers, that they should "bring forth much fruit." To be unfruitful, is to be unworthy, worthless. There must be fruit of good works; of holy, pure, self-denying lives; of the sick and the suffering relieved; of the sorrowing comforted; of the poor made rich; of clouded, discouraged souls cheered with hope; of dark hearts filled with Heaven's light; of straying steps turned towards the Father; of the ignorant taught, the vile cleansed, the leprous healed, the fallen lifted up; of children nurtured in piety, and youth trained to brave and skillful service; of Society reformed and built up into order, peace, well-being, liberty, justice, and wisdom; of suffering, demon-chained nations enfranchised "into the glorious liberty of the sons of God." If the Lord's people are thus fruitful, all men profit by it, and society grows better, happier, richer. Wherever Christ has such fruitful disciples, is a good place to live in, because their charactei and influence radiate purity, justice, and peace. In these islands, the number of active, intelligent Christians, both among natives and foreigners, has continually multiplied. Coincident with this fact, and as we think, most manifestly the effect of it, is the other fact that, on the whole, there are few places on the globe more desirable to live in than Hawaii nei—few with better social order, or more security, peace, and financial prosperity. Just now, we find ourselves very sensibly entered upon a series of public changes, the end of which it is not easy to foresee. There is very serious change in the condition of our leading industry. There is great change in prospect in ou. outside political relations, and, quite possibly, in our internal political order. The facts tabulated in the Census, indicate great changes growing in the elements composing our heterogeneous population, very hard to forecast, but of vital importance. A pessimist might easily prognosticate unhappy times before us. On the contrary, we anticipate still better things and times than we have yet enjoyed, because we have the strongest confidence in the living, healing, and vitalizing power of the Christianity which has been so efficient here in the lives of Christian disciples of many denominations. But this means that these Christians and their successors shall exercise that power still more efficiently than has yet been done. It means that they shall fruitful, more full of good grow yet works, and more radiant in the nobleness and holy charm of pure and loveable lives. That there will be such a growth here in Christian character and efficiency is to be expected. It is what our Lord expects of us; it is what He is prepared to help us to, day by day and year by year. It is what the exigencies of the many needy branches of His work in this land pressingly require of us. It is what the many and active elements opposed to truth and purity make necessary. It is not more work by Christians that is so much needed, as better, and Number 11. therefore, less wearing work. It is work proceeding from purer, brighter, more loving, more confidently believing hearts. It is the fruitful, powerful work inspired by hearts that abide in Christ, and in whom Christ abides. It is such fruitfulness in Christians that we believe is to make these Islands more and more a true "Paradise of the Pacific." The Hawaiian Census Report for 1890. The Full Report of the Census taken December 28th, 1890 has come to hand. It is a pamphlet of 71 pages, besides ten separate tables inserted, besides which, the pages bristle with long and short tables of figures, furnishing ample materials for study and thought, and data to guide in providing for our social future. Many most important deductions from the facts contained in these tables are supplied by the superintendent, Dr. C. T. Rodgers. Our own study of this valuable Report is too brief and imperfect to justifyany extended comment thereon. We are struck with what seems to us a quite serious omission, the absence of any classification by nationality of parentage, of "Hawaiian-born, both parents being foreigners". It is of very great importance to know how many of these are Chinese or Japanese, how many Portuguese, how many of Teutonic or Anglo-Saxon birth. Probably no point so nearly concerns our social future. We are glad to find on page 16, an effort to throw some light on the matter, from which it would appear that the Portuguese furnish the largest quota of the 7495 Hawaiian-born foreigners. A singular fact appears as to the relative proportion of males and females among native Hawaiians. The* females are only 86 per cent, as compared to the males, or 46 percent, of the whole number. And yet the number of young female native children is considerably in excess of the males of the same class. This proves a terrible mortality among the native females —a mortality easily accounted for by those who observe the conditions of social life existing in the presence of the enormous excess of male foreigners. The rapid increase of a mixed race, as compared with the continued diminution of pure Hawaiians, seems to point to an early day, when the pure Polynesian race will have given place to a mixed race compounded from several diverse stocks, but all speaking the English tongue. �[Novembr, 1891. THE FRIEND. 84 The Song of Kualii. It may be regarded as settled that after the ancestors of the Hawaiian people had lived secluded -from the rest of the world for many generations, intercourse between them and the islands of the South Pacific was reopened, and that many voyages were made which were celebrated in songs and legends. The native historian, S. M. Kamakau, published a series of these legends in the "Kuokoa" newspaper of 1869. Judge Fornander afterwards showed from the genealogies that this second period of migrations must be placed in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries of the Christian era. In the second volume of his work may be found a summary of the traditions relating to these voyages, and an able discussion of the whole subject. As he has stated, the name, date and other circumstances connected with Laa-mai-kahiki, the ancestor of the Oahu and Kauai chiefs, remarkably coincide with those of Raa, the founder of the line of chiefs reigning in Raiatea. Let me add that in Lawson's manuscript collection of Marquesan songs are two which evidently refer to these islands. For example, the song of Tupaa relates his return from "Hawaii", wherestood Mauna 'Oa(Loa), burning on top, which served him as a landmark to set his course by, when he sailed for Nukuhiva. After this intercourse with the Southern groups had continued for about 150 years, it seems to have entirely ceased, for there is no evidence of it in any of theancient legends, songs or genealogies for more than four hundred years. As communication ceased, the ideas of the ancient Hawaiians about foreign countries became vague and confused. The word "Kahiki" is identical with the New Zealand "Tawhiti", which means "far away", "distant". It was used in Hawaiian to designate any foreign country. As time went on, it became to their minds a land of mystery and magic, full of marvels, and inhabited by supernatural beings. Such are the ideas conveyed by a famous passage in the song of Kualii, quoted in Dibble's History, and by Judge Fornander, which has been wrongly interpreted as implying that Kualii himself had visited some foreign country. Kualii was a celebrated chief of Oahu, who reigned in comparatively recent times, viz., about 1700 A.D., fourteen generations later than Kahai, the last voyager to Kahiki. After his accession he had more than one war with the independent chiefs of Waialua, Ewa and Waianae. It was during one of these wars that this famous "mele" or chant was composed by the two brothers, Kapa-ahu-lani and Kama aulani, in glorification of Kualii, and for the express purpose of gaining his favor. It is said that the former served in Kualii's army, while the latter played the treacherous part of Hushai in the counsels of his enemy, the chief of Waialua. Acting in concert, they contrived to bring about an engagement at Keahutnoa in Honouliuli. Just before the battle, Kapaahulani obtained permission from Kualii to chant his "pule" between the two armies. After Kualii's victory, the bard was liberally rewarded with honors and lands, as he had expected. This long poem, containing about COO lines was handed down orally for more than 150 years, so faithfully that several independent versions of it, collected by Judge Fornander on Hawaii and Oahu, all substantially agree. It is so antique in language, construction and imagery, that very few of the natives at the present day can understand much of it. Polynesian scholars are under great obligations to Mr. C. J. Lyons for the translation of it. which he made with the assistance of the learned pundit, S. M. Kamakau. The poem recites Kualii's genealogy and his exploits in war; asserts that everything belongs to him, the land, the sea, and even the distant island of Kahiki; and after contrasting him with a variety of objects, finally declares him to be a god, the peer of Lono, Kane and Kanaloa. It is valuable for the light it throws on the conceptions of the outside world entertained by the Hawaiians before the arrivals of Capt. Cook. From the indistinct, fragmentary and mythical character of the passage about Kahiki, it is evident that it does not refer to an actual voyage performed by the author or any of his contemporaries, to that terra incognita. It is simply an echo, or perhaps a quotation from the ancient legends that had come down from the times of Moikeha and Laa-mai-Kahiki. Kahiki is described as a mysterious island, inhabited by supernatural beings, "haoles", speaking with unearthly voices, "leo pahaohao", who ascend up into the sky. The term, "haole", was afterwards applied to Capt. Cook's men, as they were supposed to be supernatural beings, who had come with Lono from "Kahiki". So in the leg.nd of Laieikawai, the heroine is borne by a gigantic Moo or to find the crocodile to Kahiki, means of ascending to the Moon. It is thererepresented as peopled by "kupuas", magicians; and monsters, such as the Moo, and the huge, man-eating dog, Kalahumoku. I regret that the historian, Fornander, should have seriously put forward the theory that the chief, Kualii, had actually made a voyage in a Spanish galleon to Acapulco and back. On the contrary, the poem speaks of Kahiki as "the land where Olopana once dwelt." Nordoes it assert that Kualii had been there, but that the bard himself had seen it, "ua ike hoi au ia Kahiki", which of course is not to be taken literally. Besides, the profound ignorance and astonishment shown by the people when Capt. Cook arrived, only two generations later, cannot be reconciled with any such Kualii's son, Peleioholani, died as late as 1770, according to Fornander. theory. Such an important event as the visit of a Spanish galleon would have left behind more traces of itself than a few obscure lines in a "mele".

VV!•: consider thflabove the most valuable contribution to Polynesian ethnology made since the publication of Fornander ■ "Polynesian Races" and of Codrington's "Melanesian Language". The title gives an inadequate idea of its scope, fur it is in fact not only a Comparative Dictionary, but also a Cyclopedia of Polynesian Mythology. We have here a whole library carefully sifted and condensed into one hook. So gigantic is the task, sn enormous the mass of material to he dealt with, that it is no wonder that former compiler! have shrunk hack appalled from the undertaking. The basil of the whole work is the "Mann" or New Zealand dialect and folk lore, which is on the whole the most primitive and complete, and the nearest to the original Polynesian type, as well as the one with which Mr. Trcgear is Ed with any of the other families of languages on the continent of Asia or elsewhere. In the introduction the various letter changes between the different dialect*, are treated of at length. The Dictionary is followed by a Key to the Maori words, of 3f> pages, which serves the purpose of an Anglo-Maori vocabulary. The appendix contains Genealogical tablesfiom eight groups of islands. The coincidences between the Maori and Hawaiian genealogies are remarkable. At one place in the scries we find five consecutive generations in the Hawaiian genealogy, which are identical with as man)' consecutive generations of Maori heroes, who are said to have lived in "llawaiki" before their emigration to New Zealand. Three other names art common to both genealogies, but occur in a different order. A table of the narnen of the days in the lunar month in six different groups, shows that most of the names are common to all, although there are some variations in the arrangement. To conclude, an examination of this work shows the remarkably closerelationship between the Hawaiian and New Zealand branches of the Polynesian race, while the Samoans seem to have been a later wave of migration from the west, more nearly related to the Malay, and the Tongans to have been deeply influenced by their Fijian neighbors.

Di.AK Mr. Bishop: For some weeks past the telegrams from China to foreign countries have teemed with accounts of riots, especially in the valley of the Yang tzu river. In these disturbances, missionary chapels mil even Consulates have been wrecked mil looted, attacks have been made upon protectant missionaries. Catholic priests, and native church-members, and in one instance, at the market town of Wu hsueh 'ti Hu-pei, a missionary and a Customs officer were brutually murdered by a wild mob which appears to have been collected upon the spur of the moment, with no previous airangtment or instigation. The exciting cause in this case .is at Wu-hu, was the carrying about of children alleged to have been kidnapped by the Roman Catholics. The case at VVu-hsuch has been investigated by the Governor General of the two Hu provinces (Hu-pei and Hu-nan), and the heads Of two men have been struck off, and sent around to different cities for the edification of those who may be ill disposed. The British Consul at Hankow, however, who is a man of much energy, pressed the case hard, and demanded the reopening of the trial, which was granted, but no intelligence of the result I has thus far reached us. To those living — distance and who may be interested in China, the occurence of such a number of evidently connected outbreaks at a dozen different points, must seem someat a Why should the people at Wu-hu, Nanking, Soochow, Nganking, Hangchow, Chinkiang, Kiu kiang, and ofmany other places, suddenly break out into such acts ofviolence, many of which appear to have been directed less against foreigners, than against the Chinese officials themselves? Since the riots, many letters from persons evidently well informed as to what is going on beneath the surface of Chinese society, hnve appeared in the Shanghai papers, and by combining the facts and surmises thus brought to light, it is possible to get a probably correct account of the general causes which have led to these various acts. One cause is the existance of a Society or League called the Ko-Lao Hui, which is a military organization, the object of which is toprotect its members against the oppression of those above them. The present emperor is hard pressed for money and has endeavored to economize by reducing the numbers of those pensioned since the T'ai Ping rebellion. Those thus deprived of their income, have originated these attacks upon foreigners with a view whst difficult of explanation. to embroiling the Chinese government with foreign powers, which would fall out to the advantage of the unemployed soldiers. Even if the matter is settled without a war, the cost to the government will be heavy, and it is hoped to show the emperor that the soldiers are a power not to be trifled with. Thus it appears that China too has its 'dynamiters', «and its Nihilists. Within the past thirty years the introduction of steam navigation and some foreign improvements, has thrown a multitude of persons out of employment. In the end these persons will perhaps find other work, but at present they are very 'bitter' (poor), and also bitter in spirit. Such persons fan every evil flame. The simultaneity of these disturbances is due to the fact that they have been organized by emissaries of the Ko-Lao Hui, deliberately. In other cases the excited state of the public mind has made it easy to start a row without special prevision. A bittei rivalry exists between the two provinces of Hunan and Anhui. The latter is the biith-place of Li Hung-chang, the former of the Marquis Tseng, and many other famous men, mainly military. The Hunan men have long made it their boast that no "foreign devils" are allowed within their territory, and the Catholici within that region are said to have lived for three hundred years at 'a poor dying rate. Protestant colporteurs venture in occasionally, and sell books till mobbed and told to "move on", but no place has been purchased anywhere in Hunan. Many of the officials of this province are actively engaged in the circulation of libellous pamphlets against Christianity, �86 THE FRIEND. and these are sent all over China. Their charges are like those ofthe "Death-blow to corrupt Doctrines" of twenty years ago, and are of the vilest descriptions. No wonder the people are excited by them. There is good reason to think that Christianity, both Roman Catholic and Protestant has made itself distinctly felt throughout a large part of China, and that the literary classes, always hostile, have begun to feel that it is necessary to take some more positive steps to save China. We can comprehend their feelings if we imagine an irruption of swarms of Buddhists into the U. S. within a few months, and "more and more to follow". Within 12 months ofthe close of the Conference last year which called for "One thousand Men in Five Years", one-fifthof that number had already reached China. Every province has felt this inrush, and every newly visited province is roused to hostility, and filled with secret terror. Meantime the foreign ministers at Peking, have not been idle, and they have secured the issue of an Imperial Proclamation to be posted all over the empire, and already published in the Peking Gazette, which denounces the men who attack the chapels, etc.,and expressly affirms that Christianity in both its forms is good, and its followers not to be molested. This seems likely to be the most important edict ever issued in regard to Christianity. Meantime it is well to remember, (1) That China is a vast empire, and is not to be converted in a year nor a generation, nor in a century, whatever enthusiastic millenarians may predict to the contrary. (2) That all attacks of the sort described only serve to make missionaries more careful and more earnest in their work. The attacks never permanently set the work back. (3) The attacks by Chinese (and in some cases by foreigners) upon missions and missionaries, with which the papers are filled, serve to bring the whole question of Christianity before the people, in a way which in times of tranquillity would be impossible. The result must be for good. (4) The missionaries of China were never so much a unit as now. There was never more practical harmony upon all important questions. (5) Christians in all parts of the world should constantly remember to pray for China, as the greatest and the most difficult mission field in the world, the "Ehrenbreitstein of heathenism". (6) The promises of the Lord are as sure as ever they were. Let us see to it that our faith fail not. Pray and work. The world will at last be won for Christ. Sincerely Yours, Arthur H. Smith.

Mr. A. Lowell Smith, whose death Pp. 133. This little book has the merit of took place October 10th, had been for being animated, entertaining, and subtwelve years, the faithful and efficient Superintendent of the Sabbath School of the Kaumakapili Church, founded by his venerated father, the late Rev. Lowell Smith, D. D. He was greatly beloved and honored in the church, both on his own account, and that of his father, to whom he bore a striking resemblance in feature. The funeral on the following day, the Sabbath, was attended by a great congregation, overcrowding the large church The Cjueen was present, and a large number of our public men. The pastor Rev. T. Waiamau was assisted in the Hawaiian services by Rev. S. E. Bishop, while the English portion of the service was conducted by Rev. Dr. Beckwith. Owing to delicate health, especially asthmatic trouble, Mr. Smith had been unable to take a prominent part in society or public life, although enabled to prosper in business. It was only last March that his aged father had the privilege of joining his only son in marriage to a fair grandaughter of the pioneer missionary Thurston. Those few happy months have unexpectedly been closed by death. Our brother's last hours, though in much bodily pain, were filled with prayer and peaceful hope. Conceit of Japanese Christians.— When Bishop Newman was lately visiting the Methodist missions in Japan, he was engaged in distributing the native pastors among the churches, and met with an unreasonable amount of interference from the native brethren. Finally he said, "If any of you think yoi. can do this better than I, let them stand up." Four of the pastors promptly arose I—Baptist Missionary Magazine. Query: In this case, was the conceit all on one side? Pearl City Lots Sold.—There was spirited bidding at the sale on the 21st of lots on the Peninsula of Pearl City. 62 lots were sold for $26,576, or an average of $429. per lot, of dimensions, 50 feet wide, and from 150 to 250 feet in length. From $500 to 670 were paid stantially correct in its statements about matters and things in these Islands. While sketchy and disconnected, considerable information is embodied. It is rather a taking book, and on the whole a useful one. It will "helpattract tourists", which so many think of as a prime desideratum in books about us. The writer is an enthusiast about Hawaii nei, and not least, about her good Anglican Bishop. We congratulate the authoress on the prosperous sale of her little production at the Coast. At the risk of pedantry, we admonish all writers not to use the term "Hawaii nei", unless they are actually upon Hawaiian soil at the time of writing. Perhaps a full free translation of the term would be, "This Hawaii of ours right here". Dr. Mott Smith Sent to Washington. —ln consequence of the serious illness ofour Ministers! Washington, Hon. H. A. P. Carter, the Ministei of Finance, Dr. J. Mott Smith has been sent thither, to attend to the pressing negotiation concerning our Treaty with the United States. Dr. Smith's great experience in public affairs not only here, but at Washington, renders him our best man available forthisduty.

The Morning Star may be expected by the middle of the month or thereabouts. The Festival organized in Hilo in interest of the Portuguese Church realized the handsome sum of $ 200. clear of-expenses. The Hilo Boys Boarding School has just put in another acre of leak), making the sixth now under cultivation by the boys. A ton of kalo from the first planting has been put into the market and sold, as there is on hand more than enough for the needs of the school. The poi on the premises is now made in a machine invented by Mr. Terry, and it is said by the boys to be very good. By this means much time and strength are saved for other and finer achievements. Along with the last invoice of Chinese came more than a hundred childrenTheir presence has tried our school accommodations. Over a hundred and thirty names are on the roll, and doubtless the newly appointed Chinese school constable will in due time bring in more. Messrs. Ha Pui and Kong Syuk Syong, teachers of the Chinese department, have their hands full. Miss Green, who is in charge of the English department, has three assistants and may in time need a fourth. Miss Ostrom of Kohala has forty-five children in her school. She reports the formation of a very interesting Sabbath School at Kaiopihi, Kohala. because of failure either on the part of the pastor or of the people, or both, to meet engagements, and sometimes the pastor's wife comes in for her share of fault. There have been of late among our native churches two such glaring instances—two ruined homes—two wrecked pastorates--two disqualified ministers, because of unfaithful wives. While Koloa and Hanapepe have gained pastors, the Lihue people have lost theirs. It is pleasant to know that, after three years of faithful service and patient waiting pastor Kopa of Waimea has so won the respect and confidence of his people, that they have been willing to follow him in the reorganization of the old church of that district. It is thought by some that there are very few saints among the natives of Waimea, and some say among the whites too. Yet we are glad to bear witness that we know of a few whose lives shine all the brighter for the surrounding darkness. It is to be hoped that this new organization is not entirely without ground for being. One of the papers read by a pastor was on the question of a pre-Adamite race. He negatived it by the bible. A lay brother persumed to give a scientific reason for a different view. It was the fact that he had heard of a race of men being discovered in Central Africa with tails, "and they", said he, "surely are not sons of Eve". well in meeting their responsibility in this case. It has been said that in trials of this kind the native ministry can not be depended on. But here is an instance in which they have shown themselves worthy offull confidence. The following is the report of the Pastor's Aid Society on eastern Hawaii. It makes a most creditable showing and is a source of strength to the much tried native pastor, who but for it would in many instances be an underfed man. Besides this account of the work in Hilo district $100 should be put to the account ofPaauhau Plantation, Mr. Andrew Moore, Superintendent, which was received by R. A. Lyman, late of Hamakua, and by him handed to the Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, and by the Secretary handed to Mr. J. D. Paris, Jr. for the needy Kona pastors. Also some $M) are now in the hands of Dr. B. D. Bond, $20 contributed by Dr. Wight and $30 by Mr. Renton. There is a sore need of yet more funds and it is hoped that they may be forth coming. Hon. P.

H. W. Peck, - - - Editor. Regular Monthly Meeting. Minutes of Monthly Meeting Y. M. C. A. held Oct. 15-1891. Upwards of thirty members were present in all, Pres. G. P. Castle in the chair. The Treasurer's report was read, showing receipts for the month $398.15: Disbursements $227.74: leaving a balance on hand of $170.41. The General Secretary reports the Y. M. C. A. work progressing favorably. A number of the Y. M. C. A. Boys are admitted to full membership, this month. A large number of Magazines, Newspapers, Tracts, and New Testaments, nearly a thousand in all have been put aboard deep-sea vessels. Bro. Bidwell for the visitation Committee reports eighteen calls on the sick. Our late Bro. A. L. Smith was, during his fatal illness, an object of our tenderest solicitude. A certain poor family mentioned in last month's report, is still beingr ministered to by a member of this committee. Mr. T. R. Walker reports for the Entertainment Committee on Mr. Hogan's successful exhibitions in the Hall, and on the inauguration ofthe "Practical Talks" looked forward to with so much interest. The committee has under consideration a public entertainment to be held early in December, in aid of the finances of the Y. M. C. A. The Collection amounted to $7.70. On motion of Dr. Hyde, seconded by H. Waterhouse, it was unanimously voted that the congratulations of this Association be tendered to our General Secretary, Mr. Peck, on the occasion of his marriage. On motion of Mr. T. R. Walker, it was decided to draw up a testimonial of the high regard and affectionate remembrance in which the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. held our late brother Mr. A. L. Smith, and of our loving sympathy for his bereaved wife. There were twenty new members added to the association; as Voting Mem- bers, Messrs. F. A. Hosmer, P. H. Dodge, C. H. Fairer, A. R. Hatfield, C. W. Rose, W. W. Harris, C. H. Cooke, Harry Waterhouse, W. L. Whitney, A. F. Judd Jr., H. Bingham Jr., A. M. Atherton, C. K. Hyde, C. M. Cooke Jr.; as associate members, Messrs. Geo. Babb, C. E. Frasher, W. D. Armstrong, Wm. Rice, Geo. Kluegel, C. H. Tracy. Other reports are published elsewhere. J. Barnet, Recording Secretary. The Sunday evening meetings do not show quite as large an attendance as for the preceding month, although there is quite an increase over the same period of last year. The attendance has been as follows: September 20th, 87; 27th, 98; October 4th, 77; 11th, 91. An average attendance of 88. The meetings are not without considerable interest, yet the number who take part compared with the actual attendance is small. To obtain a larger number ofparticipants, we suggest that those who do take the active part endeavor to be as brief as possible in their addresses and talks that the larger number may have an opportunity. The number attending the Friday evening meetings have been as follows: September 18th, 22; 25th, 22; October 2nd, 22; 9th, 24. The general average being 22. Emma Hall meetings, for the three weeks of which we have record, show attendance as follows: September 26th, 25; October 3rd, 35; 10th, 33; the average being 31. The Sunday morning work at the Jail has been carried on very successfully, our worthy President lending valuable aid to the work. We always have an attentive audience. Our services are conducted in the English, Hawaiian, and Chinese languages, and we hope soon to add Japanese and Portuguese to our helpers and thus reach the larger number of the unfortunate occupants of that corrective institution. Your Chairman called a meeting of the Committee for the evening of the 13th, at which meeting we had an attendance of eight, including our President and Secretary. After due consideration our Committee was sub-divided for the work as follows: Oahu Jail, Sunday morning, Messrs. Castle, Waterhouse and Weedon; Sunday evening prayer meeting, Messrs. Barnet, Bowen a-nd Dr. J. M. Whitney; Friday evening prayer meeting, Messrs. Robinson, Ellis and Ferguson; and for the Emma Hall Meetings, Messrs. Peck, Richards and Ripley. These to be responsible fer the separate work as assigned but to report to the chairman of the whole committee. A communication received from the Central International Committee, from Geneva, N.Y., calls for a special week of prayer beginning Nov. 8, 1891, and requests us as a member of the Alliance to observe the same at that date here in Honolulu. This has been referred to a sub-committee, and will be reported on by them at the proper time. W. C. Weedon, Chairman. Y. M. C. A. Meetings. Monthly, 3rd Thursday ofeach month.

The V.M.C.A. in Honolulu has often been called "an old Young Men's Christian Association," because that most of our workers and staunch supporters were men in the prime of life. This fact really accounts for the firm foundation upon which the V.M.C.A. stands to-day. These men, over twenty years ago, were charter members, and take as much pride in its success now as then. At our last monthly meeting (October), nine or ten young men, sons of the founders of the Association, joined us. Trained up in V.M.C.A. work in the Boys' V.M.C.A., they at length have reached the age when they can become members of the larger association. We welcome them, and shall expect that they will prove themselves, by their life and work, to be loyal sons of worthy sires. There is still quite a number who have not as yet joined. We hope they will decide t» do so. The Y. M. C. A. hopes that the Christian fathers and mothers of Honolulu will aid us in forming a strong band of earnest, Christian young men. Your advice is more powerful than that of a stranger. Don't fail to use your influence. While we welcome the young men of Honolulu homes, the V.M.C.A. has an equally hearty greeting for young men from over the seas. Lately we have had many additions from that source. There is room for hundreds more. Young men, members, get to work and let no young man in Honolulu be able to say that no earnest, kindly effort was made to help him to be a man in the best sense of the word. �91 THE FRIEND. contradiction to the requirements of the agreeable.
