It was kept dark till near the close of a long session, when it was hoped that many of the native members, having expended their $250 of pay, would be more ready to accept the heavy bribes which the promoteis of the scheme are prepared to pay. Our knowledge of Hawaii gives us confidence that it will re" reive the scornful rejection which it deserves. America with many convulsive struggles, has lately cast out this noxious thing from her borders. It now seeks a lodgement in Hawaii, whence it may continue its robbery of the people of the States. This outcast felon is anxious to pay us a large sum, $500,000 a year, to give it foothold. The proposal is felt by all thinking and honorable men tc be insulting and indecent. Hawaii is not going to swallow what America has just spewed out, not even if all our debts and all our taxes were to be paid thereby. Public expectation had grown listless in waiting for the long promised vote of Want of Confidence. It tame at last very suddenly. The Resolution was present'd by Hon. W. C. Wilder on the 30th uit. and passed the same evening by a vote of 31 to 10. The Cabinet resigned the next morning. Their successors have not yet been appointed We here express no opinion as to the justice of the charges which were embodied in the resolution, of general inefficiency and incompetency. The country certainly needs a strong and capable Cabinet to cope with our present financial difficulties. Of the other charge that "the administration of the Police Department has caused public scandal," there is no doubt of the hardest kind of scandal, whether or not the Marshal is actually in fault, which he strenuously denies. Most of the community have learned to believe, whether true or not, that his corrupt collusion with gamblers and opium smugglers has caused the late immense increase in these evil prac tices. It seems only fair to him to say that much of the animosity against him felt by certain parties is due to his activity in arresting suspects at the time of the late commitments for treason. The appointment of a new AttorneyGeneral believed to favor Marshal Wilson, was the immediate inciting cause of the overthrow of the Ministry so suddenly, as it secured the support of the Liberals or Wilcox faction to that measure. Much irritation was also caused by the introduction of the Lottery Bill which the Cabinet were suspected of favoring. Altogether the Legislature was stirred up to united action, and out the Ministers went. Who will constitute the new Cabinet, or what its political complexion, is hard to guess. Few capable men are willing to take such office with little assurance of support either from any strong party or from the Queen. The prospect is not the best for our getting an able Cabinet. We will hope that able and patriotic men may be induced to serve. The country needs Losses by Fire in Honolulu during the past biennial period were $182,729.57, fur about half of which insurance baa been paid.

The Gilbert Islands Under the British Flag. The Daily Bulletin states that on May 27th the British flag was hoisted at Butaritari by Capt. Davis of H. B. M. S, Royalist, and a formal protectorate declared in the name of Queen Victoria. It is said to be Capt. Davis' intention to remove all firearms from the natives throughout the group. We may here re. fer to Missionary Walkup's personal influence last year in Tarawa, inducing both the contending parties to surrender their rifles, which he sunk in deep water. If the British will establish good government in all the Gilbert Islands, it will be a great boon to the Christian civilization now struggling there for development. The Conversion of the Pundita Ramabai. This distinguished and learned Hindu widow had allied herself with American Unitarians, and was most benevolently commissioned by them to establish a school for Hindu widows, but was forbidden by her Unitarian patrons to speak to those widows upon the subject of Christ or Christianity. The Pundita attended Rev Dr. Pentecost's services in Poona not miss. ing a meeting for six weeks. One evening in a testimony meeting, she surprised every. body by standing up and bearing testimony to the goodness and grace of God. In a subsequent letter to Dr. Pentecost she stated that up to that time she had not had peace of soul, but at such and such a night at the meeting she was led to see that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that his death was for the expiation of human sin. She had cast herself on him as her Savior, and since then peace had ruled in her soul. Fighting at Ponape.—Word comes through the Sydney papers that four Span, ish gunboats attacked the insurgents at Ponape, and in the attempt to land their forces were repulsed with heavy loss, the natives shooting from behind trees with Winchester rifles. The only surviving Protestant missionary, Mr. Rand, has not been on Ponape for some years. This fact does not prevent the Spaniards from charging the missionaries with fomenting rebellion, as it would seem from the Sydney papers. �66 THE FRIEND Letter from Rev. Arthur H. Smith. Pang Cluiang, Shantung, China, • July 2nd. 1892 My Dear Mr. Bishop: It is not ipiiie a year since I smt you my last letter, to whit h you replied some time during the winter. I sent yon a postal mentioning that 1 had not for a long time had the pleasure of seeing The Friknh, and now, a mail or two ago, I received a 1 ill of 13 copies, together with a Bulletin, g'ving act urate information as to the prest 1 condition of the volcano, about which I have for a long time been able to learn nothing. Please accept my thanks for this remembrance of a chance visitor, who will ever cherish ihe recollection of a visit to Hawaii as ,i precious treasure. According to n, "The in vi who has a thousand friends Han not a friend to spare; and though I have never had the privilege of owning so many at once, I can readily believe the statement. On the long journey by (he Grand Canal from Tientsin here, I took pleasure in studying up all that I was able to learn through the back numbers which you have kindly f ■_■■ warded, now I feel comparatively well informed ! We have been much interested in hearing of the way in which you have dealt with the many difficult problems forced upon you by the development of the work for the Japanese, for the Portuguese, as well as that for the Chinese. The political relations of your Island King dom are likely to attract increasing attention in the future, and though prophecy is 'a lost art' it is certainly safe to forecast that whatever may come, the children of fathers who have done so much for the Hawaiians, and for all the best interests of the varied population, will not be wanting in anything which will enable them to promote tint righteousness by which alone the nation is exalted. Unless it might be among the Huguenots, or among some of the Pilgrim Fathers, I do not know of a company of Christians of equal numbers, whose work for two generations and for three, can be compared with that of jhe missionaries to the "Sandwich Islands." The past year has been one of unrest in China, and it is difficult to know exactly what is the present condition of affairs. The riots of last year have had no succes sors, for the outbreak in Manchuria last winter had not the smallest connection with foreigners, and was altogether sup pressed in a very short time. Recent at tacks upon missionaries in the Ftikien province, do not appear to be due to any impetus derived from without, but it is clear that there is a feeling of great disquiet in many parts of the empire. The trouble with the province of Honan, which s intensely anti-foreign, appears to be almost in the same condition as a year ago. While the imperial proclamations in regard to Christianity have been posted there, as September.1892. in other places, they have been wholly cities as suitable centers f. r new mission disregarded, and in some instances torn work. The mission adapted the reo in down.

There is little doubt that mission If they were known, the result should be ary work is better known to the Chinese to induce a much larger number to come than it was a year ago, and probably as f iward as volunteers, since the apparently little doubt that it is more hated by those inevitable perct ntage nf loss is so great.

Henry Barrows, D.D., of go, has notified the Editor-of 'The Friend, of his appointment as a member of the Advisory Council of the above Congress. Several other gentlemen here have received similar appointments, and are re ported in the public papers to have accepted them. We are holding the subject un der consideration, waiting for farther light We have as yet seen no definite statement of what objects are sought to be gained by the expected Congress, or what methods ol conference are proposed. Meantime, we would ask, why it would not be equally suitable to arrange a Congress of medical systems, in which not only Allopaths, Homoeopaths, Hydropaths, Keely Curists, Mind Curists, etc., should unite in a friendly interchange of opinions, but where should appear also representatives of Chinese, Hindoo, Arab ian, Turkestan, and other medical systems. We suspect that our esteemed friend Dr. McC.rew, for example, would think twice before consenting to participate in such a Congress. Some .of our Hawaiian kahunas might be willing to assist at such a gather- ing.

It was the result of a hasty canvass by a committee of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Mills wrote on the 19th that he would be unable to come. Rev. J. M Alexander writes that Mr. Mills is characterized by speaking I. ss of Faith on Christ, than Mr. Moody does, and more of surrender and submission to God in consecrated service. Mr. Mills calls the mission work for Chinese in San Francisco a wonderful success, and states that out of 2000 Japanese there, 500 have been converted. Rf.v. B. Fay Rev. Edward L. Gulick, son of the late Dr. L H. Gulick, is about to leave his parish in Groton, Mass., to reside for a year at Harvard, where he has received a Fellowship, and designs to make a specialty of Ethics and Sociology. He hopes to continue in the Ministry. Rev. Arthur H. Smith of Shantung, so pleasantly remembered here, writes one of his good letters. He highly esteems The Friend as a source of information about the Hawaiian Islands. We have many like testimonies from subscribers abroad.

[September. 1892. eAvaerlpyrc oystlic reed. In studying the regular S. S. lesson of August 21st, we were deeply impressed with the powerful way in which the leading truths of the Gospel were packed into a small compass by the apostle Peter, as with words given him by the Holy Ghi st according to his Lord's promise, he made answer to the Jewish Sanhedrim for himself and his colleagues. In the space of sixty words we find not less than eleven prominent doctrines of the Christian faith distinctly affirmed. "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree. Him did God exalt al his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins. And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." Acts v: 30-32. 1. God is the God of the fathers of Israel, the God of the Old Testament. 2. Jesus was crucified and slain by the Jews. 3. God raised up Jesus from the dead. 4. He exalted him to the highest place in the heaven "at his right hand." 5. He ordained him Prince over Israel, the King of the promised kingdom. 6. (iod made Jesus the Savior from sin. 7. He gives through this crucified and risen Savior, Repentance —the turning from sin and heartily renouncing and forsaking of sin. 8. Through this Savior God gives also the Remission of sins—the pardon and forgiveness of guilt; full reconciliation with and acceptance by the wronged and forsaken Father. 9. Peter and the other apostles were officially the witnesses of the foregoing facts, which they solemnly attested to be true. 10. The chief and Supreme Witness of the truths which the apostles attested was the Holy Ghast, who was daily confirming their testimony by signs and miracles, and by speaking through their lips. 11. Under the new dispensation, the Holy Ghost was given in manifest power to all yielding and obedient hearers of the Gospel. In the above analysis of Peter's brief creed declared to the Supreme Court of Israel, we have used explanatory words, to call attention only to what must have been the sense in which Peter used the terms whj.ch he did. We have added nothing by way of gloss, or of inference, although many additional d < trines might be found involved in the language used and the facts attested to. Being a declaration of facts made for a special occasion, this Creed of Peter's cannot be credited with symmetrical completeness. Yet it is a creed of great power. One who holds, heartily and obediently to all these truths is a Christian in the fullest sense. Every one of these eleven facts is of the greatest importance and value to every human soul. Blessed are those who believe a ll these things, and obey accordingly. �Volume 50, No. 9.] Christian Repentance. The New Sailor's Home.

The total receipts have been $686,0c0. The present value of the working plant is estimated at $907,000. Annual receipts for water supplied are about $43,000. A great increase of the supply is urgently needed, by means of artesian wells and steam pumps.
