Sometimes he overdoes the business, and has to By before the wrath of the outraged people whom he has held in terror. This is very rare; their fear of his demon masters their anger. NuMItKK 7. The diabolical malignity shown by Pulolo has an irrational look; but it was merely an unusual form of exercising the fiendish malice habitual to the regular kahuna auaaiui. The difference is that as a rule the)- are secretive in thnir murderous proceedings, while her murdering took a violent and brutal form. The system of terrorism upon those around is alike in both cases. The community, by fear of the deadly demon at the sorcerer's seivice, are driven to become abettors and participants in the murders committed. There is good reason to believe that such murders constitute no small percentage of the causes of death that are swilling the immense mortality among Hawaiians. A Significant Fact is that Pulolo learned her trade of sorceress during a residence of some years in this city. Under the fostering patronage of Royalty for a little more than thirty yens, Honolulu has grown to be a headquarters of superstition, and chief seminary of sorcery. This began when Prince Lot's agent K.tpu issued printed licenses to about SOO kahunas or native doctors, with schedules of fees ranging up to fifty dollars. These kahunas rarely knew much of real remedies. Their chief stock in trade was the superstitious fears of the people, who would hire their incantations to propitiate or exorcise the evil demons that made them ill. In order to educate and develop those fears, they immediately formed private classes in idolatry and sorcery throughout the kingdom. Since than this culture of diabolism has gone steadily on. Fresh accessions of force were largely made to it during the late reign. It has become true that now there are comparatively few Hawaiians, however well educated, who do not believe in the supernatural powers ol the med'cine men and of the sorcerers, as well as in the real existence and powers of the Aumakitas and of the multitude of lesser gods or demons. Upto 1860, the ascendancy of Christianity had kept the smouldering ancient superstition repressed and inactive. It has again become rampant. The Lanai Horror is only an open outbreak of the malignant diabolism that is terrorizing and poisoning Hawaiian homes on every street in this city. There are now very few native households, whose heads in any case of sick- �50 ness would dare refuse to call in the kahuna or to obey all his orders. It is most painful to say that some of our native pastors do this.. We rejoice to testify that most of these good men are brave and loyal in their resistance to the satanic practice, even while in some believing in the existence and cas All of our native po\ -s of the demons. pas,, s find themselves hard pressed be ween their sense of duty and the tci.ors of their deacons and church members, as well as the fears of their wives, if not their own, lest the evil gods destroy them and their children. This ahuna domination paralyzes the efforts of our skilled physicians to heal the people. The government employs [physicians at gieat expense, but most of the people are prevented from obeying their prescriptions by the orders of the exorcisers, to whose violent and destructive treatment they timidly submit. Hence the great monthly death reports of Hawaiians, with causes of death very commonly unreported. Hence also the numerous petitions to the Legislature to create a Hawaiian Board of Health, that is, to employ a body of kahunas to minister to the sick at public expense. Kalakauadid actually cieate such a Board of Kahunas, through his Legislature ol 1886. This was one ol several facts, like the Aki opium bribe, which made necessary the Constitution of IMB7, depriving theKing of his control of the legislature. Another and most poisonous effect is in antagonizing the Hawaiians to civilized ideas and enlightened guidance. The Kahuna is the deadly enemy ol Christian civilization, lie and enlightenment are sworn foes, and he does his utmost to create aversion and jealousy towards the haole and particularly the "missionary." He organizes and consolidates the heathen party. Still more, all the ethics and logic of Kahunaiim are stupefying and paral) /nig to enlight ened action of the mind. The niinils of those poor Awalua wretches were stifling in the horrible fog and stench of Pulolo's teaching, So is every mind that inhales the noisome atmosphere of Kahuna superstition. They cannot think reasonably nor entertain sound opinions. A Sad evidence of the extent to which the Hawaiian intellect has become befogged and befouled by kahuna domin ation, is seen in the heathenish character of the majority of the petitions from natives daily presented at this session of the Legislature. Probably one half of these petitions call for partially or wholly doing away with the segregation of the Lepers. Half of the rest of the ("July. 1892. THE FRIEND. petitions are to stop vaccination, to (lis miss the Board of Health, and to create a Kahuna Board of Health. This perversion of the native mind creates a gloomy outlook for the usefulness of Hawaiian! as participants in the government of the country. We cannot be governed by Pulolos, nor by people of any of that turn of mind. We are strongly hopeful that this kahuna domination is soon to wane. The Pulolo outbreak may open the eyes of the people. Earnest and successful effort is being made by some nativepastors, and by Mr. Bicknell especially, to win the people from superstition. Higher education will help much. But our only reliable dependance is in the spiritual power of the living Savior brought in contact with these suffering and terrorized souls, and uplifting them into the higher life of the spirit. As the piety and spiritual power of Christian Hawaiian! is invigorated, each one will become a kindling light, before which all Puloloism will be dispelled. Mr. John E.

At the same time he released Y. Y. Ashford and several others. He so disi riniinated because Ashford and the others vy-re not present at the met ling of May 18th, when treasonable language was uttered. Since then Ashford has left the country, being liable to further arrest for conspiracy. It is not probable that any native jury will convict Wilcox, and he will likely not be brought to trial. In any case he is not very likely to make further attempts to disturb the peace. Since writing the above Wilcox has been released and taken his seat in the Legislature.

The large arched windows are undoubtedly of the most approved and acceptable styles of stained glazing. The great audience room is as yet chaotic.

An uncomfortable state of things has now terminated. For some nine months past rumors have constantly prevailed of plots by Wilcox and associates to Although overturn the government. that party was known to be weak, and there could be little doubt of the failure of such an attempt, the public was kept in a state of uneasiness. This is now at an end, and there is no further apprehension from that source. The actual weakness of the movement was so clearly exposed on the examination of the conspirators that some have called the whole business a farce, and have blamed the government for taking the matter seriously and making a commotion byarresting the conspirators. There is no doubt, however, but that this action has been wholesome in removing from the public mind an incubus which had grown painful by long pressure. It is also certainly true that the schemes yf Ashford and Wilcox contained possibilities which, under the weakness of the government, might have developed into serious mischief had they not been timely arrested. We are now once more living in peace and quiet, and have only to consider how we are going to get a comfortable living, with our sugar business more than half killed by the Mc- On Monday evening, June 13th, at Kawaiahao Church were ordained by the Oahu Association three students of the North Pacific Mssi- nary Institute, Messrs.

It was less than two months that these men had to offer their services, receive thtir appointments, pay last visits to their friends, and prepare their outfits for the foreign field. Letters received by the Star April 10th so stirred the students of the Institute that everyone volunteered to go, and every one of their wives also. These three were selected for the work. The prayer meetings at the Institute in the evening and morning before their departure were of thri'ling interest. One of these missionary couples takes a young child.

The present business stringency from the cause named is unquestionably of a transient nature. We have been enjoying an artificial prosperity. Meantime there has been a great development of the country, and its great natural resourres have been demonstrated. There undoubtedly awaits us, in the very near future, an immense development of commerce iri the North Pacific, consequent upon the opening of the Nicaragua Canal, which cannot be long delayed. Not very far distant also, in the natural course of events, must be Political Union in some form with the United States. The good effects of this event upon our well being do not appear to ourselves so clear as they do to many. The methods of such a union should be most cautiously guarded. The ultimate consummation, however, is a foregone conclusion, but one that we should not be in undue haste to realize. 53 THE FRIEND. Dr. Parkhurst treats with a fine scorn those people who deprecated his personal visits to the haunts of vice. "Christ not only put Heaven away behind him, but he came into the very closest touch that was possible to him with Ihe grossest depravity that was on earth. I can imagine some of the angels, not in the redemption bus ness, loafing along the celestial courts as the son of Cod laid aside his glory and moved down to Bethelhem in Advent, arching their celestial brows and expostulating with him and rebuking him for venturing into the contacts of a world over which the Serpent rjad so long drngged his scaly coils, and suggesting to him to dispatch a second or third class angel down to this disgusting and sin-reeking world with instructions to send b*ck an affidavit of what he f, mnd down here. All that I mean by that, young men, is this: If you want to be a means of saving the world, jnst understand that you cannot do it at arm's length." The Legislature at this session has been characterized by an unusually close attention to important business, and a minimum of needless jangling and bunkum speechifying. This serious financial condition of the country seems to have had its due effect in uniting men of all parties in seeking measures of relief, laying aside The Democratic and Republican nominations for the Presidency have been received, Ex President Cleveland against President Harrison.

Kamehameha School Exercises. < Public exhibition of the work f the six 1 f this school was given May 27th in the different school rooms. Excellent work was shown in the usual English studies. Specialties shown were a large variety of samples of free hand and mechanical drawing by the pupils, ol fine quality. Many beautiful specimens of Cabinet and inlaid work were exhibited by the pupils of Mr. A. Thompson. To our eyes, many i I these were equal in finish to the handiwork (if the best mechanic!. A large line of samples of blacksmiths and machinists wi rk was also shown. It is evident that a large number of Kamehameha pupils are being qualified to earn at once large wages as skilled workers, together with all the physical and mental superiority which are Required therewith. The Preparatory Department was exhibited on the morning of the 28th. In the evening, an invited company of the patrons and friends gathered in the noble Bishop Hall, to listen to a Rhetorical and Musical exhibition of the scholars. This was of a high ( rder.

The Morning Star sailed for Micronesia June 18th with a large number of people on board—two American mis sionaries, three Hawaiian Missionaries and their wives and eight passengers. seven of whom are returning Gilbert Island laborers. The Star is to touch first at Butaritari and leave the Hawaiians and Gilbert Islanders, and then go onto Kusaie and leave Miss Palmer to be associated with Miss Hoppin in the Girl's School there, and then go on to Ruk, by way of Ngatic and Ponape, and leave Miss Abell with Miss Kinney of the Ruk Girl's School. The Hawaiian Brethen of the Gilbert mission are to have a general meeting this year. The location of the new missionaries is left to them to be settled by the missionaries on the ground in consultation. It is not known when Mr. VValkup is to return. Indeed the fact of his return is supposed to depend on his getting a boat for touring through the Gilbert field. The Star will be due in Honolulu May 23, 1893. The Rev. Jiro Okabe is with us again after an absence of five months in his father-land. During his stay abroad he had the good fortune to meet many of the Christian workers both Japanese and foreign. He preached in many different pulpits and attended the general meeting of the congregational churches" which was held in Osaka. He was introduced as the preacher from Hawaii, and took occas on to make the country of his birth acquainted with that of his adoption. He met the Gulick brothers and was informed that Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Gulick intend to visit the Islands in the fall. Mr. Okabe was happy in finding all the members of his family well and prospering. They are all Christians. One of the brothers is a graduate of the L)o-shisha Theological Seminary, and isabout to take an influential pastorate. By the kindness of his Excellency Hon. R. W. Irwin of the Hawaiian Legation at Tokio, who is our Minister Resident in Japan, Mr. Okabe was enabled to bring with him an associate worker, a Mr. K. Oku, who was favorably heard last Sabbath by the Japanese congregation in this city. Mr. Oku has been 18 years a pastor in Japan. We have now six men connected with our Japanese mission, not enough for the holding of every point, but a band numerous and strong enough we believe for theconductof a very general work ofevangelization among our 21,000 Japanese. 55 The lati; meeting of the Hawaiian conscience towards the evils of the day, Evangelical Assocation. which was held and particularly toward that colossal evil June 7- IS, was r.-maikable in nothing of a superstitious feeling that dallies so much as in the Way it received and with fetishism and spirit-worship.

These facts gve us courage and hope. We regard our brethren in the Hawaiian pastorate as the ones we are to look to for the final overthrow of these evils, and we think the time has come for us to advise that the Island associations see to it that fitting men are chosen to undertake betimes such general evangelistic and reform work as may seem best. Revivals and Rev. B. Fay Mills. RByev.DW r. olfenden. There is a class of lukewarm religionists to whom the very name of a revival is distasteful because they like a comfol table easy going kind of religion, Very manifestly however the Bible does not la vor that kind of religion which is neither cold nor hot, but on the other hand countenances all such religious movements as are likely to give an impetus to the cause of God, and intensify religious feeling. There can indeed be no true Bible religion without revival. It begins with revival and is maintained by the continual vivifying operation of the Spirit of (rod who first begets the new life in the soul. There may be reformation without revival and with those who object to revivals we generally find that the form which the matter takes in their minds is "Reformation versus Revival." But reformation is not bible religion, only revival can claim tube such. Revivals are no new things. They are as old as religion. There was a time in the world's infancy when it had already grown old in sin, in which it is recorded that there was a turning oil men to God —"men began to call on the name of the Lord." This was an ancient revival of religion. That too was a revival which took place under the ministry of Elijah when the great part of Israel had fallen into idolatry. He/ekiah too was ■ revivalist who fanned the smouldering embers of religion into a flame during the latter days of Judah, and all the prophets nearly were just revivalists. Isaiah was a man of the Wesley, Whitfield, Spurgeonic, Moody and Fay Mills Stamp. \\*hnt was it again but a revival that brought people in crowds to hear the Baptist and even Christ himself, and then Peter at pentecost began a series of revivals which continue to this day. Such seasons of special revival seem to bear the same relation to the ordinary work of God that comets bear to the steady shining of the stars—only that as regards the religious comets—the revivals, we can see the good of them much more. A season of revival too bears oftentimes that relation to the ordinary work, which reaping time bears to the rest of the year, during which the process of tilling and sowing is carefully carried on. Of course we shall be un- derstood in these remarks as indicating a real spiritual quickening and not a passing sensationalism or fitful excitement, dependant upon questionable methods of activity. The Rev. B. Pay Mills whom many here are anxious to secure for this special work uses no revivalistic galvanism but adopts and uses simply methods of work consecrated by the use and wont of centuries. He is a young man who does not glory in eccentricities or intellectual attainments but who nevertheless speaks from a full heart and well stocked mind with a simplicity, directness and tend erness the pure gospe.l so as to arrest and hold the closest attention of both the cultured and ignorant. Every one is impressed with his transparent sincerity, thorough going realism and deep love for souls. In every place he has visited, the neighborhood has been speedily charged with influences which flowed from the Holy Spirit's presence. Immediately there has come a marvellous unanimity for prayer and service to the people. Christ of course is the substance of his message, the motive of his service and the charm of his utterances. There is also in Mr. Greenwood's sing ing (his fellow laborer) a modest simplicity, expressiveness, pathos and power that sends the truth home to many hearts.

Commencement Exercises. The Class of '92 were greeted on the evening of Thursday, June 23d, by an audience which crowded the aisles and overflowed the vestibule of Central Union Church, which was packed to its utmost capacity before the hour of 7:30 arrived. The Queen and Court were present. The floral decorations were of rare delicacy and beauty. On the choir rail was a long bank of roses, shaded from dark red to white, and from white to yellow, ending in rich orange plumarias. On the front of the organ rested a lovely shield of flowers, over it the class motto, " Xon pro nobis"— Not for ourselves. Delicate lace-like drapings of cape jessamine were trained above and around. Over one end of the stage was a plume-like mass of "golden shower"; at the other a large and delicate spray of lilies and foliage. Mrs. S. M. Damon had direction of the decorations, aided by Mesdames H. Waterhouse, S. C. Allen, and C. A. Brown ; also by Mr. Bowick and the members of the Junior Class. The Trustees sat at the left front of the platform and teachers at the right, the graduating class in the center, and the numerous pupils of the College on rear of the stage and in the'choir.

Dr. Hyde betokened a father's tender and solicitous regard for the young lives now blossoming out. The first essay was pronounced with clear and manly delivery by Ivrnest E. Lyman, whose musical culture lent fine tones to his voice. The contrast in conduct and results of a purposeful and a purposeless life was impressively illustrated, as by one whose own purpose was established and strong, and who spoke from hearty experience. Young Chamberlain's address on "Capital the Friend of Labor,'' was thoughtful, and the relations of the two were set forth in an interesting manner. The mutual dependence of each was shown, with especial reference to their conditions in Hawaii nc-i. "The Lord is My Shepherd" was sung by the Girls' Glee Club with feeling and taste. John Waterhouse followed with a very lively discussion of the advantages of Cremation, which was perhaps the first advocacy of that practice ever heard publicly in Honolulu. He presented its sanitary advantages over interment in a very" telling manner. John ought to make a good talker and writer. The next address was by a bright young Hawaiian whose features betoken Chinese blood, James N. K. Keola, on "Education in Hawaii." His delivery had much of the facile Hawaiian ease and animation, though still slightlylacking a perfect English enunciation, which he will gain in due time. His sketch of the growth and progress of the good work done here was correct and impressive. His statement of the obstacles and struggles which beset the Hawaiians' road to education were evidently from his own observation and experience. The audience greatly enjoyed the fine selection from Haydn's Creation, "The Heavens are Telling," which was well rendered by a selected chorus of the scholars, aided by Miss Dale's inspiring leading, and by Mrs. Judd on the organ and Miss Wing on the piano, each in harmony and sympathy all through. S. Edward Damon followed with an address on " The English Speaking Peoples," passing in rapid review the glory and mighty sway of the mother isle —the imperial growth, and developed English freedom of America, and the independence of Australia, vigorous while a high destiny was anticipated for Canada. England's unequalled and benificent empire over India's two hundred millions was noticed. The highest interests and hopes of mankind arc bound up with this foremost race, whose states will in the future be confederated. In this great English family Hawaii is to bear an honorable part. A grand theme and forcibly treated. " The Place for Amusement " was the next topic, treated by Charles K. Hyde, who earnestly advocated out door sports for the benefit of miid and body, and gave us a good and sensible talk on the subject. We heartily second his plea for an organized gymnasium at Punahou with a trained instructor. The following song was then sung with enthusiasm by the College Glee Club, Mr. Woods leading: MEMORIES OF PUNAHOU. Glad College hours of richesf meed. Replete with joy, how swift ye speed! Bright College days of zest and cheer, That make the rounded, golden year, Though quickly flown, your blessings stay To gladden us through all our way. Our lives the ripened fruit will grow Which budded lirst at Punahou. Though change occur on every hand, Though sundered far by sea and land. Nought can our early blessings mar. The chain of friendship reaches far, United by a common tie Of mem'ries dear that will not die. Lor time will only serve to show The wealth we gained at Punahou. Oh, days of promise, rich and rare ! The bull and blue we proudly bear. The world before us grandly lies, As forth from summer scenes and skies Our pathways lead through many a land Where we may prove life's meaning grand. And ever onward as we go Reflect the light of Punahou. There was a hearty ring on the name Punahou. The words of the song are by Mr. P. S. Dodge, and the music by Miss Dale. The last regular address was a semipolitical one by Albert F. Judd, Jr., although the name he bore doubtless limited him as to fully stating some well known facts in the history of recent constitutional changes. With this exception the progress of Constitutional Development in Hawaii" was clearly and forcibly stated, with a manifest appreciation of the marvellous progress made, and a patriotic love of free and enlightened government. A graceful young lady next advanced and read pleasant tones a eulogistic essay on the noble '• Dom Pedro of Brazil," to whose race Miss Julia Perry belongs, her father having formerly been Consul for Portugal. Leaving her essay, the fair speaker then addressed most suitable and touching farewell words successively to trustees, teachers, fellow-students, and classmates. The presentation of diplomas followed, President Hosmer addressing his departing students with manifest sympathy and affegtion, as he wished them the best blessings apon their now widening and opening live>. An unusually strong affection has grown up between Mr. Hosmer and the members of this class, and was manifest in the words both of the President and of the valedictorian, The farewell words were tenderly echoed by sweet low tones singing "God be with you till we meet again,"' dying faintly away as if waning in a far distance, and deeply touching many sympathizing hearts then present. After the benediction the many patrons and friends thronged the stage with hearty congratulations, feeling that the occasion had been one of rare success and of delight to all concerned with the College. The exercises were un- " �THE FRIEND. usually well arranged and well executed. The speeches were short and spirited. They were varied in matter, neatly illustrated, and well " boiled down," so as to have no tediousness. The directing hand was evidently a skilled one. Thechoice of topics evidenced thoughtful habits in the speakers, and thought directed to solid and practical subjects, indicating serious work in the classes, and a love of noble and worthy studies. These are evidently young men beginning with a clear, practical, and generous outlook on life, its duties, and its call to high and noble work for mankind. As we began our story of this Commencement with the floral decorations we must not fail at the end to mention the masses of bouquets that were passed in over the heads of the audience in the crowded aisles, and laid before each of the speakers, one of whom had twentysix and another twenty-eight. Many of these flowers were rich and costly, such as carnations and violets. Berger's Royal Band in the gallerylent their inspiring strains at the opening and at the close. An honorable tribute is due to the able corps of teachers at Punahou, but especially to Mr. Hosmer, whose capable incumbency at the head of Oahu College has given unalloyed satisfaction to all patrons and friends of that institution, and who has won the hearts of the students. Prof. James D. dana of yale University writes to us "I should greatly enjoy another trip with you to the Crater.
