THE FRIEND'S HALF CENTURY
COMPLETED.
Tins issue closes the fiftieth year of
For more than forty
Tin-: Friend,
years, it was conducted by its founder
the Rev. Samuel C. Damon, of revered
memory. Rev. Messrs. Cruzan and
Oggel published it until June, 1887,
sinci: when for five and a half years, the
present Editor has supplied its columns.
It is the oldest surviving newspaper in
the Pacific. Few now living here were
familiar with its early issues. For nearly two generations it has brought spiritual cheer to Christian people. It has
been distributed in great numbers on
ships, and carried to all parts of the
world. Originally published in the past
with especial view to the seafaring public,
it has been of late years the organ of the
evangelical churches of these Islands.
It is the intention suitably to notice
in the January number the Fiftieth
Anniversary of Tin-. Frif.nd. Plans
are making to issue somewhat later an
illustrated jubilee supplement.
THE CABINET DEADLOCK
Came to an end November Sth, by
the appointment of a Cabinet satisfactory to the Legislature, Mr. G. N. Wilcox who headed them, being one of the
three persons previously nominated by
the majority as possessing their confidence for the purpose of forming a Cab-
DECEMBER, IH<>2.
Her Majesty, the Legislature and
the country are to be congratulated on
the happy termination of a serious controversy.
The personnel of the new Cabinet is of
a high order, and will command the
general confidence of the public. Mr.
George N. Wilcox the Minister of the
Interior, born here, has created a large
fortune by his own successful efforts as
a sugar planter. Mr. Mark P. Robinson, Minister of Foreign Affairs, is
a gentleman of one-fourth Hawaiian
blood, and of tlic highest moral and
social standing, managing successfully
his large inherited wealth. Mr. I'. Cusliman Jones, Minister of Finance, for over
thirty years prominent in Honolulu business circles, was for many years at the
head of the old house of Brewer & Co.,
and one of the best known and esteemed
men of this city. His Well-proved financial abilities will be of the highest service at this time. Mi. Cecil Brown the
Attorney General, is a successful business lawyer, for many years in charge
of the great estates of Mr. James Campbell. The four are among our must
trusted citizens for ability and integrity.
It may be said that we have never had
a better Cabinet in this Kingdom.
It should be observed that tins favors
ble result was not secured at once.
After the removal by the House on Oct.
17th, of the Macfarlane Cabinet of five
weeks standing, four gentlemen of the
Queen's choice were found to face the
House as a Cabinet on Nov. Ist. They
were promptly turned out after two
hours discussion. This determined action settled the question at issue between the Throne and the Legislature,
after ten weeks of contention, during
which Legislative business had been
hindeied, and three Cabinets voted out.
The House proceeded promptly to give
the necessary power to pay the salaries
and other dues of the Government,
which had been awaiting the solution of
the deadlock.
During this whole period of suspense,
there was a marked absence of public
agitation, indicating the orderly and
peaceable temper of our community.

We believe that Her Majesty was conscientious in resolutely seeking to prevent any derogation from the rightful
prerogatives of the Throne as she understood them.
Mrs. Leavitt's Arrival.
As anticipated, this eminent Christian
worker arrived November 20th, and has
made many hearts glad by her presence.
Although in much impaired health, she
did not hesitate to enter at once actively
into the contest against the saloons, and
lectured on the evening of the 21st, with
her wonted grace and power, in the Y.
M. C. A Hall, again delighting us with
that fine and telling utterance which we
had well remembered. We trust that
she nut)' regain such strength during
her sojourn, as to cheer us again and
again with her words. She conies here
much worn in aspect, and with health
greatly impaired by the arduous labors
and frequent perils of the past eight
years, during which she has eight times
crossed the Equator. She has chosen
these Islands as the most restful and
the most cheering of the lands she has
visited, and the one where she has met
the greatest warmth of Christian affection. Mrs. a»Leavitt is at present the
guest of Mrs. J. M. Whitney, president
of the W. C. T. U. in this city.
Vandalia Memorial.
A memorial window hits been placed
in the nave of St. Andrew's Cathedral
to the memory of Captain Schoonmaker,
Paymaster Arms, and the others lost
on the U. S. S. Vandalis in the harbor
of Apia. The funds were mainly secured
by subscriptions frorr* the U. S. squadron.
The»subjett of the window is,
"Christ stilling the storm." Messrs.
Clayton and Bell of London were the
artists.
The New Church Edifice of Central
Union Church is announced to be completed. The scaffolding of the spire dis
appeared ten days ago, and the slender
pinnacle points upward in graceful
beauty. The stained glass is all in the
windows. The great electrolier has risen
to its place. The walks are finished
around the building.
The new grass
dots the levelled surfaces. The carpets are going down. The old Fort
Street bell has been moved over. And

A Romish Version of Ponape Affairs.
An English illustrated monthly organ
of the Society for the Propagation of the
Faith, entitled Catholic Mission, for
May 1892, reprints from the Front isttin
Annals the following amazing statements
about Ponape and the American Missionaries there. We make notes in
brackets.
"On March 1 Ith, 1887, the six missionaries, with the future Governor and

commerce with religion has brought
with it many evils; and the boasted
civilization of Protestantism has introduced a wide-spread corruption ofmorals.
[Ponape was one great brothel of the
whalers before the missionaries partially
reformed it. The Spaniards debauched
it over again.] The population of Ascension Island, which formerly numbered
about 15,000, has now dwindled away
through criminal excess to 3,000. Better
indeed would it have been for the unfortunate people i r Ponape if they had
never seen such Christians. To deceive
the nations of Europe, the missionaries
drew up and published the most lying
statistics concerning the material progress made among the inhabitants of
Ponape. They made it appear that both
in the lower and in the higher branches
of knowledge these poor people were as
far advanced as many Europeans, They
gave it out that the primary schools and
scholars were numerous [which was true];
and that there existed a goodly number
of colleges well supplied with suitable
professors. [!] They stilted that several
cloth factories had been established,
[Franciscan inventiveness grows by exercise ] and that the natives had been
brought to dress like Europeans, and
the)' were loud in the praise of the Protestant missionaries and of the beneficial
and civilizing influence of their labors.
'Now wasted and destroyed by Spanish
barbarity.] "Hence," says FatherLlevaneras, "1 candidly confess, that until
the falsehood of these reports was demonstrated before my eyes, I thought Ponape
must resemble some of the provinces in
Spain. But when I and those who were
with me saw the miserable and shameful
state of the natives, we could scarcely
repress our ffulignation. A school worthy
the name could hardly be found; and the
few schools that did exist, were simply
made of branches of trees interwoven
with roots and grass [materials capable
of being combined into neat and commodious houses, some of the best of cord
being made of pandanus and icie roots.]
The scholars were equally scarce, and
so ignorant that, on the confession of the
Protestant ministers themselves, only
six of the natives could write, and very
few could read. [The form in which
these statement! are made, seems to
absolutely convict Llevaneras of deliberate slander.] As to clothing, they are,
with few exceptions, much like the people
of Yap, almost naked.
*
They are particularly careful to seize
the most fertile lands, and they make it
a point to lord it over the miserable
natives, and reduce them by flogging
and other ill-treatment, to the condition
of mere slaves. [There is some more.
How much of the above is the writer,s
own venom, and how much the rehashed
lies of the beachcombers, is needless to

his subordinates, landed at Ponape or
Ascension 1., commonly called by the
natives "Not," which, by a decree of the
Spanish Government, is to be the capital
of the Kasl Carolines. When the natives
Saw the vessel appioaching, a number of
them came out in small boats to meet it.
The natives were accompanied by several
Englishmen, Germans, and Americans,
residents on the island for the sake of
commerce. Two of the Americans were
Protest,mt ministers, and excepting these
all were delighted at the arrival of the
Spanish Governor and the missionaries.
No wonder theministers were not pleased;
for under the specious pretext of religion,
they had assumed the civil administration of the island, [not a shadow of truth
in tiiisj and were more solicitous to acquire wealth and increase their worldly
comfort than to watch over the souls of
the people. They knew that their power
as rulers had come to an end.
As the missioners on landing could
not at once begin the workof evangelizing
the natives, some of them set about exploring the island, and looking out for a
suitable position to build a mission house
and a chapel. They experienced great
difficulty in acquiring the language,
owing to the great number of its dialects.
Our missionaries have never reported
but one dialect for the whole island].
The American ministers, who would
better be named merchants, have deceived the people in many ways, and not
merely led them by false representations
into the Protestant communion, but have
driven them into it by threats and- the
use of the lash. [We do not need to
defend the saintly Doane and the devoted
Rand from these spiteful charges.] The
petty kings and chiefs were often the
unwilling tools of this despotism; and
their own power was so paralyzed that
they could* not dispose of their own

MRS. NANCY ANNETTE PIERSON.
We have begn favored with a memorial account of this noble pioneer missionary to the Marshall Islands, written
by her husband, from which we condense the following statement:
Mrs. Pierson, nee Shaw, was born at
Delhi, N. V., June 10th, 1828. Shewas educated by her own exertions,
graduating at the Delaware Literary Institute, in 1854, She married the Rev.
George Pierson, M. D., Sept. 10th, 1854,
and sailed from Boston, Nov. 28th, 1854,
arriving at Honolulu, in March. At
Honolulu, they embarked on the bark
liellc, for Kusaie, but cruised on the way
for several months among the Gilbert
and the Marshall Islands, then unoccupied by missionaries, with their people
in native savagery.
This weary cruise opened the way for
the missions to those peoples. Mrs.
Pierson was earnest, active and wise in
her intercourse with the natives. An
other good was a revival on board the
ship, in which many were converted,
sailors and officers. No white person
had hitherto been allowed to live on the
Marshall Is. All wrecked seamen landing there were immediately killed.
Dr. and Mrs. Pierson labored on Kusaie for two years with Mr. and Mrs.
Snow, but with hearts turned towards
the Marshall Is. On the first cruise of
the Morning Star, they went there with
Rev. E. T. Doane and wife, of Ponape,
landing at Ebon, Dec. 5, 1857. Mrs.
Pierson had already learned something
of the language from Ebon natives at
Kusaie. She was the first to teach this
people their alphabet. She wrote the
first primer in their language.
Like all white ladies on Ebon, Mrs.
Pierson's health gave way; they left
there early in 1860, removing to Brooklyn, or East Oakland, in California,
where Dr. Pierson founded the first
church of any denomination, and spent
ten years at work. Mrs. P. was a zealous and successful laborer in gathering
and building up the new church. She
there organized an efficient Foreign Missionary Society, vyhich still continues
under the President who succeeded her,
Mrs. W. H. Hamilton.
From Brooklyn Dr. and Mrs. Pierson
removed in 1860 to Adel, lowa, and in
1876 to Solomon City, Kansas. In
1884, they went to Henrietta, Texas.
There, after many wise and earnest labors, she passed away, after a lingering
illness, to her heavenly rest.
Mrs. Pierson's life was one of humble, devoted consecration to the Master's
service. She passed through many privations and dangers; but with never a
fear or anxious care as to the result.
She put her life in God's hands, to be
used by him and for him. She feared
death as little as sleep. She was ever
a cheerful, joyous Christian.
THE FRIEND.
The ladies of Henrietta have sent for
a memorial window to be placed in the

The Wine and Beer Bill.
This measure passed its second reading Nov. 17th, after very earnest discussion, the SSnd being set for third
reading. But little attention had been
drawn to this measure. It proposed
the licensing under stringent regulations,
of places throughout the country, for
the sale of beer and wines under 21 per
cent, alcoholic strength. It was advocated by its suporters as a temperance
measure, likely to put an end to the present wide spread illicit sale of spirits,
especially by the Chinese stores.
During the intervening days, the opposition of temperance men to the bill
became active. Many printed articles
were written in the papers denouncing
the measure. A powerful ally was found
in the eminent lecturer of the W. C.T.
U., Mrs. M. C. Leavitt, who spoke on
the evening of the '21st, in Y. M. C. A.
Hall, powerfully setting forth the destructive effect of the lighter drinks, especially of beer, in England; also their
utter failure either to lessen appetite for
spirits, or to check illicit selling. Coming up the next day, the Bill was indefinitely postponed by a strong majority.
Now, be sure and send Opium License
the same way.
In the sudden death of Henry W.
Mackintosh, late Superintendent of Public Works, the Government has lost a
most capable and faithful officer.
Thanksgiving Sermons were preached Nov. 21, at St. Andrew's Cathedral,
by Rev. Mr. Mackintosh, and at Central
Union Church, by Rev. S. E. Bishop.
The latter discourse was printed in full
in the P. C. Advertiser of the 25th.
A serious effort appears to be making
by citizens of Tacoma, Wash., to start
