There is certainly no cause for greater thankfulness to be found by any enlightened Christian soul, than to have been enabled to be of important service to the kingdom of his Lord. No outward enrichment, no social or domestic joy, no inward gifts and spiritual graces even, are so great a prize as it is to have efficiently advanced the work of bringing human souls to Christ, to be made sons of God in Him. Somewhat of such ground for gratulation belongs this year to our churches in these Islands. It may be said that there has never been a year where there was so much ofpres-j ent s iccess, and of future promise in our \ uious Home Missions among the Chinese, the Japanese, and the especially important Portuguese people, as there has never before been so varied an organization, and so heavy a burden of work laid upon our shoulders. Five years ago, it would have been a most sanguine hope to have expected that 1891 would have witnessed the erection of two fine church edifices for our Portuguese citizens, both with capable pastors, and large audiences and Sabbath schools. Or that our Hawaiian Board would be conducting active mission work on all the Islands among nearly 20,000 Japanese. Nor have we to mourn any retrogression in our well-organized Chinese work, notwithstanding the temporary disability of its able and honored superintendent, Mr. Damon, whom we hope soon to see again at his post. Our churches and their Board have a very great work thus laid upon them. It is a work to rejoice in. It is indeed a great and open door, or rather several open doors to great and fruitful service. If we at all understand the spirit of our Christians in Hawaii nei, it is a state of affairs that they will heartily rejoice in, and gladly thank and praise God for. They will not regret the great pecuniary tax it lays upon them, nor shrink from the labor and sacrifice it entails. VVe shall see how gloriously we are summoned to a noble work. It is given to us to make effective and penetrating upon the souls of these new come immigrants that radiant light of Christ which has so uplifted and strengthened our own souls, and to whose power we attribute all the peace, order, liberty and prosperity of our happy Island kingdom. So now with all this work laid upon us, we have to summon our energies and gird up our loins, and open our pockets for the campaigns of the coming year. If financial prospects are somewhat dark, yet we may not doubt the Lord, nor withold our gifts from the work so clearly laid upon us. Give in faith, and He will not let us lack any good thing. 91 Number 12. HON. HENRY A. P. CARTER. The death of this eminent citizen of Hawaii took place November ist, at 1:30 a.m., at the Everett House in New York, where he had been since his arrival from Europe, Sept. 24th. He wjs attended by his 'wife, three daughters, and one son, Geo. B. Carter, of Seattle. He had been for some months suffering from serious heart trouble which developed into dropsy. For some ten years Mr. Carter had occupied the position of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United Slates from Hawaii. At the time of the negotiation of the Treaty of Reciprocity in 1875-6, he spent much time in Washington, rendering indispensable service in that negotiation. Mr. Carter had before this been prominent in public affairs, having served for several years in the King's Cabinit, as Minister of Interior and as Minister of Finance. Mr. Carter was also prominent in the Fart St. Church, of which he was an active member, whose counsel in both temporal and spiritual things carried the greatest weight. Not only to Honolulu Society, but especially to the Church, does his death bring the sense of grievous personal loss. Mr. Carter was born in Honolulu about fifty-six years ago, son of the late Captain Carter, one of the leading Pacific traders of fifty years ago. The son was early engaged in mercantile pursuits, being at his death at the head of the old bouse of Brewer & Co. He possessed brilliant social gifts, in addition to a quick and sound judgment. The deceased leaves two surviving brothers, Joseph O. and Samuel Carter, both of Honolulu, and one sister, Mrs. Robert Lewers, as well as the venerable mother. Mrs. H. A. P. Carter is a daughter of the late Dr. G. P. Judd. One son, Chas. L. Carter is in legal practice in Honolulu.

Such filial loyalty as theirs, save in , [December, 1891. exceptional cases, I have never seen among children of rosy cheeks and fair complexion. Accidentally I found one day that this trait could be utilized in school discipline. I had one class of particularly troublesome little girls. They were bright, but brim full of mischief, disobedient and naughty in all those little ways which it is easy for children to think of. Could I have punished them soundly once or twice the trouble would have ended, but as the authorities of the school would not sustain me in that, I was at my wit's end to know what to do with them. I intimated one day that I did not think their mothers had brought them up very well, if they had not yet learned not to sit on their desks in school time, hang out of the windows, stand on chairs, talk aloud, change their seats whenever they felt like it, peep into my note-books and appropriate my knife or pencils whenever I chanced to lay one down for a moment. Instantly every little form stiffened. I felt I had made a mistake and said to myself, "Now see what you have done I Look out for your class tomorrow !" But I could not take back the words and so added with all the indignation I could assume "I should think that children who had any respect for their parents would try to honor them enough, not to make people think they had bad fathers and mothers." I entered the room very nervously next day, feeling that probably I should have the pleasure suggested by my co-workers of teaching empty seats. But to my great relief the children appeared, and such admirable deportment as we bad that day, I had never expected to secure from that little group of mischiefs. On the Fourth of July we went about thirty miles across the prairies to visit the Yankton Agency, for we had heard that the neighboring tribes were coming thither to celebrate the "Glorious Fourth" with a dance. The journey took us through the settlements of the civilized Indians thus giving us a chance to see their work at its best. Apparently their best was very good. There were acres upon acres of corn which they had planted and cultivated, and which although not quite as free from weeds as we would have expected a white man's corn to be, yet looked very well. Here and there were little Indian houses, the lumber for which had been furnished by the government, many of which appeared neat and comfortable. They were all deserted now, however, for every man, woman and child had gone to the Agency to celebrate, with a patriotism, worthy of the small boys in "The States." I think we met not more than two or three persons in all the thirty miles. Unfortunately none of us knew the way to Yankton Agency, but knowing the general direction depended upon the sun to guide us. We rode on until too dark to follow the grassy road, brought up against a barbed wire fence and decided that we must stop for the night. Had the prairie furnished a tree or stick or even a twig to which we �THE FRIEND. 93 Volume 49, No. 12.] could have picketed our horses instead of tying them to the wagon, we might have slept comfortably inand under our twoseated wagon. As it was we were quite ready for an early start in the morning, and a very short dstance farther on' the agency ap peared in full view. Here most of the houses were built of I gs, both houses and grounds having a much less civilized and comfortable aspect than those which we had pissed. We found to our disappointment that the dance had taken place while we were reposing on the prairie, but the unique gathering which we did see was enough to repay us for our journey. A little out of the settlement the Indians had gathered fifteen hundred in number. On the highest hills they could find, which were not very high by the way, they had pitched their wigwams or tepes in an immense circle. How they ever constructed the circle I do not know, but as far as the line of tents was un broken it seemed to the eye to be mathe- matically perfect. O, the strange people who were gathered within that circle! Perhaps I should say people and animals for the horses were coralled within the circle, and many of the Indians had brought along a family of puppies which were destined to furnish a dainty repast for them and their friends before the celebration should be ended. Every member of the different families, however old or sick or feeble had been brought along. One poor girl who seemed hardly able to lift her head from her pillow, held up a withered hand to us as if asking for our pity. The tepes (tee-pees) owing to the fact that they had just been pitched were tolerably clean and within them the women generally sat, when not engaged in preparing meals for their liege lords. Most of them seemed modest, and many were working their pretty moccasins or making their dainty patchwork. Very few of the women had painted faces. Not so with the men! Every brave warrior was bedecked in the mast astonishing manner. I had thought that the railroad advertisements with flaming pictures of Indians adorned with eagles' feathers, and carrying bows and arrows, were simply advertisements —that civilized robes, or at least a compromise between a civilized dress and the heathen blanket had superseded the old barbaric costume, but here were the very Indians in the advertisements standing before me. And such a display ! No effort was spared to make this indeed a "Glorious Fourth." Limbs, bodies and faces were painted in the most gorgeous colors they could command. Frequently their bodies were nearly nude in order that their artistic glories might be the better displayed. Some had trousers made of dressed sheepskin trimmed with a fringe made of strings of the same. A few were the envied owners of the famous war cloaks now becoming scarce, which are made of scarlet flannel reaching to the ground behind, and trimmed with eagle's tail feathers from top to bottom, the feathers being arranged in such a way as them speak in public. With one exception, however, I was always disappointthe back. Feathers, strips of fur, beads, ed in so doing.

As a matter of fact, the'/govto stand erect upon the head and down ,• �94 ernment has cheated the Indians often and its present method of issuing rations once in two weeks tn exchange for lands received from them, while it is difficult to suggest a better one, nevertheless is very objectionable. It perpetuates the old nomadic life, especially among those who live long distances from the Agency, as they are thus compelled to spend the greater part of their time in traveling back and forth for supplies. They do, occasionally, get a little fun out of it however, as I chanced to see one day at an "issue of cattle." It seemed that some oxen which the government had agreed to furnish had arrived, and with them the stock inspector. The contract specified that they should weigh not less than 2,260 lbs. per yoke—should be gentle and well broken. When we arrived the contractors were weighing them, driving a large and small ox on to the scales together in order to make them weigh the required amount. Occasionally, they would add their own weight to the scales if they thought the inspector was off his guard. If the pair proved under weight the smaller ox was driven out and one a size larger substituted. When the required weight was reached the oxen, already yoked, were tied together by the tails lest they should break their necks when let loose and driven out with ropes around their noses. Invariably the "gentle and well broken" oxen, which evidently had never seen a yoke before, started on a dead run dragging after them the man who was vainly holding on to therope. In a few seconds they would break away leaving their driver sprawling on the ground, after which exploit a shout of laughter invariably went up from the Indians who were waiting their turn to receive their "gentle and well broken" oxen. In this particular instance, out of about one hundred oxen two yoke were accepted by the inspector. The Morning Star. It is with peculiar gratitude that our Christian people have seen the missionary ship again speed westward on hir Gospel errands. An interval of seventeen months has elapsed since her last departure on her work. Meantime she has been thoroughly repaired and refitted at San Francisco under the able supervision of Captain Bray. New and more powerful bi ilers have been supplied. The crippled mainmast has been restored to symmetrical length. A serious fault in the structure of the cabin has been corrected, and more space given to the state-rooms. A discreditable defect in the ship's equipment has been made good by the addition of a steam capstan for hoisting in boats and anchors. It is confidently believed that the Star will now be able to do better work than formerly in stemming adverse winds and currents among the Islands. The American Board are showing an earnest purpose to carry on the Micronesia Missions with efficiency. Though so deplorably short-handed, the Gospel work in the various groups was never so full of promise. Ponape, it is true, still lies dark and storm-beaten under the stress ( f the Spanish aggression. The American Board are vigorously pushing their demands for redrtss for the wanton destruction of their very prosperous Mission in that island. It is cause of great thankfulness that ihe health of our veteran brother Rand has unexpectedly been so well restored, and that he and Mrs. Rand are likely to be able to do whatever work can be done for the Christians in Ponape and its dependencies of Mokil, Pingalap and Considerable agitation has been caused by the arrest of Messrs.

Most earnest prayers will follow the ship and her missionaries, and her return early in April, will be awaited with anxious expectation. At the same time, the affectionate supplications of our Churches should be constantly made in behalf of our suffering native brethren in Ponape whose faith and steadfastness are being so severely tried.

Samuel Parker, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He was a son of John ParkftT, one of Kamehameha's most trusted lieutenants, and a man of noble character. Mr. Parker was possessed of large estates on Hawaii. He was for a long period a member of the old House of Nobles, and of the Privy Council. He was a man of great integrity, honor and patriotism. John Wise, a pure Hawaiian, from Kamehameha School, who was sent byMr. P. C. Jones, under the care of the Hawaiian Board, to study for the ministry at Oberlin College, appears to be making a good record not only in character and scholarship, but particularly in athletics. May he grow to be a strong soldier of the Cross. Such are greatly needed among his people. Mr. L. A.

HAWAIIAN BOAKB. HONOLULU H. I. This page is devoted to theinterests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Board is responsible for its contents. Rev. O. P. Emerson, - Editor. On the morning of the Lord's Day, the 22nd of November, the Morning Star arrived at this port, twenty days from San Francisco with two'passengers and three stowaways. The stowaways appeared on board the second day out and were put to work, and the Captain said that tbey fairly paid for their passage. One of the passengers, Mr. Arthur Alexander, continues on the Star throughout her entire voyage. The other, Prince Henry Nanpei, goes as far as Ponape, back to his people of the Kiti tribe. On the afternoon of Friday the 27th, after a short stay of six days in port spent in refitting and in taking aboard mission supplies, the Star proceeded onward on the voyage to Micronesia. Rev. and Mrs. F. E. Rand and Rev. and Mrs. Paaluhi were added to the number of passengers. Mr. and Mrs. Paaluhi return to their former field on Tapiteuea of the Gilbert Islands, where they have already labored several years. It is not yet plain just what Mr. and Mrs Rand are to do. Mr. Rand goes as a Delegate of the Hawaiian Board. He also goes as the missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. Not able to get back to his former station in Ponape, he hopes to have the opportunity of visiting certain outlying islands belonging to his field, and it is very possible that he may join the workers at Kusaie where he hopes for the present to locate his training school. A large company of friends were present at the farewell meeting, and the brethren were sent on their voyage and followed with the warm sympathy of all who look for the evangelization of Micronesia. The Star may be expected back between the first and the tenth of April. News has been received from Rev. Maka, missionary at Butaritari, of the continued progress of the good work there. The king of the Islands (Butaritari and Makin) has been with the missionary on a tour through his dominions holding religious meetings. Four new chapels have been built. Two Romish priests joined the company, and although they have had no mission on the islands and have secured no following, they took occasion to speak in the meetings and to try to draw the people away from the lead of the resident missionary. Rev. Maka reports that all the books sent him were immediately sold as fast as they were opened. The Hawaiian Board has been prepar- ing a new supply for the phenomenal demand for books. The following books have gone on the Star to the Gilbert Isl ands, 750 Arithmetics, 250 Geographies, takes this step, as one to which they are 750 Readers, 750 Hymn Books, 465 New unmistakably called in the providence of Testaments and 205 Bible Stories. Gad; and in doing this, we rely humbly The following was taken from a communication published in the Advertiser and is here reprinted for the sake of friends abroad: At its last annual meeting the California M. E. Confertnce came to the conclusion that they had better withdraw from the islands, leaving the work as at first begun, entirely in the charge of the Hawaiian Board and proposals to that effect were laid before the Board two months ag'. Negotiations were at once begun with the various Japanese M. E. preachers. The Kauai preacher had decided previously on account of his health to return to Japan, the young men at Spreckelsville and Ewa wish to teturn to S.»n Francisco to continue the theological studies. The preacher at Paia, will continue on, receiving his support, as heretofore, from friends con nected with the Hawaiian Bonrd on Maui. The preacher in charge in Honolulu will continue on till other arrangement can be perfected. At the meeting of the Hawaiian Board, Tuesday evening, the Home Committee, to whom the matter had been referred, advised the Board to accept the proposed transfer of the Japanese M. E. Mission, and reassume the sole charge of the work among the Japanese. This was voted, and the following statement adopted, now made public through the daily press by the courtesy of the editor of the P. C. Advertiser. The additional annual expenditure involved is at least one thousand dollars, and the Board appeals to its constituency for their approval of its action, and a generous increase of their contribu tions, that this work of Japanese evangelization may not suffer from the withdrawal of the M. E. Mission. "Resolved., In view of the facts brought before us by the Home Committee, this Board desires to put on record its grateful acknowledgment of the valuable services rendered by the Japanese Mission during the last four years in assisting this Board in carrying the Gospel and its institutions to the Japanese at the various stations occupied by the M. E. Mission. Now that through Providential necessities that mission feels constrained to withdraw from this field, leaving this Board to carry on this department of its work without their personal aid and fraternal union, we wish to assure them of our regret at the necessity which thus brings to an end the close relations of friendly co-operation under which their work has been carried on in these Islands. "We rejoice that the preachers lately connected with the M. E. Mission are so ready and willing to continue in the work under the supervision of this Board, and we assure them of our hearty sympathy and support. "In now resuming full charge of this work of Japanese evangelization, the Board on God's continued presence and blessing, in hope that the Christian community at the islands will sustain the Board in assuming this increased burden of responsibility, by increased contributions and growing personal interest in the christianization of the various nationalities now resident at the Islands." The Maui Trip. A succession of surprises awaited us at Vfaui during our last visit in attendance at the Association of Nov. 4-7, held at Wailuku. The day sessions of the Association were marked by nothing unusual. The new feature was the evening meeting. For the first time since commencing our work we found it possible to hold a successful evening meeting at Wailuku. The meeting house had been prepared for this by the introduction of chandeliers. As we looked up and saw the pleasant lights we thought of the tallww candles I.f last year stuck around the wall to their hurt. And there too was a very sizeable audience. Always we had been able to get an audience of an evening at Waihee, but not before at Wailuku. We had stigmatized it in our thoughts as a hard place where a hearing could not be secured. But at last we had a very respectable audience before us. And then we had supposed that nothing was being done by our people toward Sunday services for the English speaking portion of the inhabitants, but we found ourselves happily mistaken. We found that a Sabbath School had been formed and maintained for some little time. The credit of this work is due to two lady teachers resident at Wailuku who are assisted by the principal of the public school there. It is hoped that before long the English and the native Sabbath Schools may be merged into one. Indeed, steps toward this result have already been taken. If all people would be as interested in Christian work as are these Wailuku teachers, we might expect to see a different state of things in many parts of these islands. Our surprises were not ended when we left Wailuku. For at Paia we found that some good ladies had started a Chinese Sabbath School, and also a week-day class for the teaching of sewing to Japanese women. It is by the help of such as these that the good work must be kept up, and we fain would believe that there are many on the islands to whom the energy and devotion of these Wailuku and Paia ladies, who, though hard pressed with their work all the week are willing to add the Lord's day as one of labor in teaching, in attendance on meetings and in visitation of families, that the gospel may be brought yet more closely to the heart* of the people. �THE FRIEND. 98 THE T.

General Secretary's Report. Three newspapers (two Canadian and one English) were added to our list during the month. The attendance at the leading room is increasing, averaging about 70. During the month-all our exchanges have been communicated with, and upon receipt of replies our list will be revised. Judge A. S. Hart well gave us an able and much appreciated talk on "Constitutional Government in Hawaii." Elder Starr has occupied the hall for several nights during the past three weeks. He gave an earnest, able talk on Bible Topics. A loving, Christian spirit was visible in all Elder Stan's words and ways. Our list of new members still continues to grow. It brings with it additional responsibility. Mere additions to our ranks is not what we want. We are glad to have young men join us, but must not forget that that is but the start. Much remains to be done before, as a united band of consecrated workers, we can accomplish the duties of the hour. When we can meet soul to soul, and stand shoulder to shoulder, then, with God's blessing, we will be Decmbr, 1891. Y. M. C. A.

A., some twenty visits have been made to vessels in the harbor, with gratifying results. The Employment Committee report a great many men seeking employment. Dr. Hyde, Chairman of Reading Room Committee, reports correspondence concerning reading matter for our rooms, and speaks cheerfully of increased attendance during the month. The collection amounted to $5.20. The following persons were elected members of the Association: Voting members —Alex. Young, Sr., H. C. Lyle, B. H. Paris. Associate members Lee Gilbert, G.

We have nearly reached the limit of our supply. The demand is as great as ever. We have a few friends who regularly contribute magazines, papers, &c, which greatly help. It is with the object of increasing the number of these that we state the need of assistance. Men on long voyages eagerly read almost anything. The Y. M. C.

A thorough and careful article on this subject was read at the monthly concert in Central Union Church November 4th, and subsequently printed in the Advertiser. From this article we make the following notes: Most of the 13,000 Portuguese in Hawaii nei and not born here, are from the Azores. That group lies about 700 miles west of Portugal, to whose crown it is subject. They are eight in number, lying in an irregular line about 400 miles long. Their total area is only about 700 square miles, or about that of Oahu, but have a population of 260,000. There was a large influx of Flemish blood added to the Portuguese at the time of their colonization in the fifteenth century. The traces of this element are very conspicuous among the Portuguese here. Most of the soil is owned by a comparatively few families. Large quantities of superior oranges and pine-apples are exported. The climate is usually humid. Mean temperature of the winter months is 61 degrees, and of the summer months is li'J.s degrees. Average rainfall on the lowlands is 40 inches. Frosts are unknown except upon the mountain-tops. The judicial}' of the Azores are said to be singularly able and upright, and are greatly esteemed by the people. The higher classes are very refined, and treat the lower classes with habitual kindness and courtesy. The people are lawabiding and submissive to authority. There are no monastical orders in the Azores. The priests there come mostly from among the common people, and occupy the positions of friends and advisers. The women are very religious. Hospital provisions are ample and excellent, and every person of whatever nationality, who needs treatment, is admitted without charge. The Portuguese born here are rapidly acquiring an excellent use of Flnglish, and speaking their mother tongue imperfectly. These people are the best class ever brought here for laborers. They are rapidly improving their homes. It is said that in the services of the English Church the Prince of Wales has. been prayed for 80,000,000 times. The this special prayer suggests to the r York "Observer" a story about a girl who asked why the Prince was icularly excluded in it. Her mistake was due to the clergyman's pronunciation of "Awlbert Edward," which she took to mean "all but Edward, Prince of Wales." Kof : Dr. Briggs Acquitted of Heresy. As we had been led to expect, Dr. Briggs has been able to satisfy the Presbytery of New York, that his famous inaugural address does not contain the heresies which its language seemed to most Presbyterians to express. The in. dictment against him had already been presented. At an early day in November, Dr. Briggs read his reply. It was a very able paper, and produced an immense effect upon the members of the Presbytery, He declared with strong emphasis his belief in the Scripture of the Old and New Testaments as the only infallible rule of fiith and practice. He denied that he intended, as charged, to ascribe to the Church and to the Reason, an equal and co-ordinate authority with that of the Bible. His Presbytery were well satisfied with these declarations, and with his explanations of his former language as consistent with them. Strong gratification was expressed by some who "ad been the most displeased with his former language. After some discussion, Presbytery resolved by a two-thirds majority to proceed no farther with the prosecution of the case, which was dismissed. The supreme authority of the Bible in matters of religious faith and practice is a very sacred tenet with the leading bodies of Evangelical Christians, nor are they willing to permit any of their ministers to dtny this tenet, and continue to teach with the authority of their churches. Dr. Briggs in his defense explicitly stated that he did not believe that Moses was the writer of the Pentateuch, or that the latter half of Isaiah was written by that prophet. Presbytery regarded these as merely critical questions of human authorship, and were satisfied with the positive declaration of Dr. Briggs, that he regarded the books of the 0:d Testament whatever their human authorship, as partaking a divine inspiration, and possessing divine authority. An appeal to Synod was noted by the prosecution, but it is not probable that any change will be made in the result. It is matter of great joy and thankfu'ness among the Presbyterians of New York, and among all who esteem them, that a result has thus been attained so favorable to the peace and prosperity of those churches. 9 THE FRIEND. That Ohia Forest.—A Honolulu correspondent of the Chicago Tribune tells of a forest of fruiting ohias, twenty miles long and eight or ten wide, in the "Wilderness of Koolau." We used to be very familiar with that section. As with many correspondents' yarns, a large discount is due. For some ten miles along that coast, and for one mile in breadth, groves of these fruit trees are of frequent occurrence; and in one locality in Hana, there is something like a considerable forest of ohia and lauhala intermingled. This delicious fruit is too watery for preserves. We have often thought that the gardener's skill might evolve from it a more fleshy and even richer fruit. Many others of the Eugenia family, like the Rose-apple, have a very firm-fleshed fruit. Since weekly steamers touched along that coast, few white men ever traverse those lovely but rugged paths.

Tis a mercy to have that taken from us that takes us from God. The boast of some men seems to be "I can't give much money, but I can find fault equal to the best of them." One heart aflame with divine love will set all others aglow. If a man stands by God, God will stand by him. Every man is making it easier for every other man about him to be just what he himself is. No man can be provident of his time who is not prudent in the choice ofhis company. If a man is faithful to truth, truth will be faithful to him. His success is only a question of time.
