One is greatly impressed with the Providential leading shown in the establishment of this paper as a leading organ of Christian progress in the PacificThe devout, warmhearted, pushing,practical young Chaplain Damon sees the need of, and the way to, publishing a paper in advocacy of temperance. One thing leads to another, and he promptly appends a department for moral and spiritual help to seamen. The success of his little monthly, and his growing aptitude for the work begin to make it a powerful organ of influence; material flows in upon him, and in two years his paper has grown into a journal richly furnished in many departments. It becomes a leading part of his life work, and remains the most prominent memorial of the beloved and revered Father Damon who not very long ago "fell asleep" among us. Fifty Years Ago. When the vigorous young Chaplain Damon, then newly come, courageously made his modest but hopeful commence- ment of a temperance and religious paper in Honolulu, society here was but beginning to put on aspects of civilization, although there was a small foreign colony, maintained by trade, partly that of supplying whaleships. Let us briefly recall the conditions of that clay one-half century past, when what proved to be so important a factor as The Friend, was added to the formative social forces of Hawaii. A few aged persons still linger among us, who were active participants in those somewhat troublous times. Quite a number of elderly individuals well remember them, who were then children in Punahou, or in the Charity School. Hon. G. D. Gilman of Boston, then in early manhood, has contributed to Thrum's Annual for 1893, some vivid personal reminiscences of those days. He was named in the Friend for May, 1843, as an agent to receive subscriptions. The Island population was then much larger than now,nearly all natives, most. �2 THE FRIEND.

China men were something of a curiosity. The most conspicuous persons were still the stately and ponderous royal chiefs, be fore whom the masses abjectly grovelled, and who impressed even the whites with some awe. Externally, that Honolulu resembled the lovely city of the present, only in the unchanging hills behind it. A town ot grass and adobe cottac.cs, with a few stone structures, dry and treeless, save for a few COCOBUt and hatl trees, it hail no extension, either towards the V.dlev or on the Plain. About the only buildings still existing, were the present McKibbin residence, three old mission houses, with the Stone Church, and the school house behind it. It was a squalid. dusty, and dreary town. There was a comfortable house M worship for the foreigners, the well remembered old Bethel, where Mr. Damon generally had a well-rilled house, at least when whalers were in port. In public affairs, the beginning of a written Constitution had been made in October. 1840, and Dr. Judd had been Prime Minister for six months. The troubles with the brutal Consul Charlton had culminated, ami the Paulet seizure of the government was close at hand. Volume I. of The Friend records the seizure and the restoration. Communication with Europe and the United States was still almost entirely via Cape Horn. Occasional news had begun to arrive by way of the Mazatlan and Vera Cruz route through Mexico. There was no premonition of the grand tide of travel which six years later began its rush across the Isthmus of Panama, and brought with it regular mails for Honolulu only two months on the way. California was then an almost unknown factor in Pacific affairs. There was a little trade with Monterey, whence came cargoes of horses. We never heard of Yerba Buena, or of the Golden Gate. Oregon was far better known by means of the Hudson Hay Co.'s trade in sal mon, lumber, etc., and by early mission aries in transit. We used to hear much of Tahiti and Borabora, where Christianity had long been triumphant. Elsewhere in the South Pacific, savagery still prevailed for the most part, although the noble career of John Williams was in pro- unmitigated horrors. Micronesia was a name unheard of, although we knew of ships cut off by savages at tbe Kingsmill and Marshall Is. New Zealand w.is heard of solely as a land of hideously tattooed savages. Australia was known only by the great Convict depot o{ Sydney, whence debased and wretched estravs occasionally drifted to Hawaii, so that liaole Kikane or "Sydney foreigner," designated whites of the lowest grade. But a great light was even then arising in all those c'en ters now oi joyful Christian civilization. Witii Canton and Macao only in China had foreigners any trade, and for fifteen years longer the seals of Japan remained unbroken. We had a regular trade with Canton, dating back another half century. The third number of Till. FaiEMD, records that most important Treaty of August, is 12, with Great Britain, by which Hongkong was ceded, and the ports of Amov, Fu-chau, Shanghae and Canton were thrown open, and China became free to the commerce of the world. Thus did 'I'm-: Friend unfurl its pages at an era of upspringing and stirring life in this Pacific Ocean, then so reunite from the civilization and commerce and movement of the world. It had a noble mission, to voice the Christian sentiment of these islands, and thus to powerfully aid in creating and establishing that Christian civilization now so dominant in Hawaii, and so influential upon the Pacific world. This high mission of 'I'm. Friend still continues, and was never more important than in these closing years of the century, when the Pacific is all astir; when two mighty English protestant empires are growing into power upon its coasts, and a vast commerce is pushing into action, which shall rival that of the Atlantic. May our littlemonthly so long such a moral and spiritual force in this central station of the Pacific, be maintained in vigor, enlarged, increased in power and usefulness, and continue to bear witness for Christ and His Kingdom, long after we have all passed from earth, like the Fathers who have gone before us. The church fronts upon Bcretania Street; its lofty tower and spire 160 feet high are upon tbe corner of Kichard street The facade is a line one; a suitable porch with twenty granite steps and polished syenite columns leads to tbe vestibule ten feet wide, with Stairways to tbe gallery in the tower on either hand. Above the porch is a noblearched window. 'l'he auditorium is 68 x 70, with wings of additional six feet on each side. The ceiling ascends in an octagon to the ventilator, 24 feet in diameter, and 5S feet above the floor. Opposite the three entrances with their rich koa doors, are tbe pulpit and spacious organ loft and choir gallery. To the pulpit the floor slopes down from three sides. 'l'he seats of stained birch curve in theater form, intersected by live aisles, and with those in the gallery will seat 800 people, or you by crowding. Tbe pews were from Cleveland, 115 in number. The ceiling is wainscotted in fir; the other woodwork is redwood, with abundance of paneling. Splendid arched windows fill the upper portions of the east and west sides. Below these are ranges of smaller square windows supplying the copious ventilation needful in this summer climate. All the windows in tbe edifice are filled with richly stained glass, in gorgeous combinations of colors. Immediately in tbe rear of the main building are two large annexes. The first is about Ml x 30, anil contains a large vestibule of its full length, tbe organ loft, the ladies' room IS x 26, and kitchen for church soci.il supplies, also the Sunday school library. Upstairs are also an infant school room 2li x 32 feet, and the pastor's Is feet square. The second and larger annex contains the main Sunday school room which is 75 by 40 with lofty wainscotted ceiling. A gallery 3(1x10 divides the east end of this room into two stories. The portion under the gallery can be separated from the main portion by sliding doors, 'l'he largest window in the structure displays its noble arch in the gable of this room. Entrance doors at each end of* the long vestibule give entrance from Kichard street and from the tear. Two doors iilso lead from the vestibule into the auditorium, giving immediate access thither from the Sunday school From every point of observation the edifice shows architectural symmetry. It has an aspect of great solidity, with its massive stone work, anil noble arched windows. It is by far the handsomest architectural form in Honolulu. It is commodious,conveniently arranged, substantial, and beautiful within and without. The acoustics have proved satisfactory, and the ventilation is excellent.

During the past month a bill to license the sale of opium in this Kingdom has been passing through successive stages in the Legislature, with a strong pros peet of becoming a law. As their principal reason the supporters of the bill urge that the present prohibitory law has resulted in such a strongly organ ized smuggling of the drug that 17,nu1l lbs. per year are certainly known to be imported; that by this smuggling the police and custom-house forces have become greatly demoralized, the Marshal himself being in public intimacy with the leading smugglers; that the smuggling receives sanction and active support from many of the officers of the law; and that the deadly vice of opium smoking is greatly increasing among Hawaiians as well as Chinese; wherefore the vice should be licensed in order to bring it under control and regulation, and the importation of opium be legal ized in order to prevent the demoralizing crime of smuggling. To remedy these evils, they propose that four opium premises shall be licensed in Honolulu at not less than $15,000 each per annum, and as many more as are called for in Country districts at not less than $10,00.1 each. These joints or dens are to be provided each witii twelve hunks. Only Chinese adults are to be permitted to smoke opium in these places. All other persons are forbidden to use the drug; and the use or posses sion of it elsewhere by Chinese or others is to be criminal. This maintains the stringent features of the present law, by which detection and conviction are facil- itated. Opium is to be imported for the licensees under a duty of $3,00 a pound, light enough to mike smuggling unprofitable, From the duties and the licenses it is estimated that the revenue will be benefitted by not less than $125,000a year, a most important benefit which is lost under the present inefficient attempt at prohibition. The opponents of the bill, on the other hand, maintain that tile present prohibitory law has been substantially efficient in confining the practice of the vice mainly to Chinese habitual smokers, and that the police statistics show that the vice is not increasing among Hawaiians, only 3;') of whom were convicted of the offense during the past two years, to 1015 Chinese; that the support of smuggling by the officers of the law is the result of loose and corrupt administration, and calls for changes m the officials and not in the law; that the new opium dens will be great schools for educating the people in the vice, anil centers for its dissemination, as well as a great moral and physical stench in the midst of the community. That these licensed shops will afford enormously increased facilities for the introduction of the drug, and for its THE FRIEND. illcit distribution among all classes throughout the country; that while such illcit sales will continue to be as now with danger to the distributing agents, there will be no danger to the importers and licensees, for whose interest it will be thus to increase the sales. Most of the seizures of opium now are made on vessels, or in transmission from vessels, or at some chief depot of opium on shore. The new law will protect all these from interference from the law, leaving only the secret and ramified distribution of the drug to be attacked at the greatest disadvantage. They also oppose the bill upon the higher moral grounds which is framers characterize as sentimental. They urge that it is as wrong to destroy Chinese by this poison, as it is to destroy Ha waiians, and that the proposed government sanction of the vice will farther debase the moral sense of the people, while its public exhibition will incite Hawaiians to participate, and so dig deeper the grave of this people. Mrs. M. C. Leavitt contributes from her personal observations of the destructive effects of opium in India and China, where every missionary is thoroughly hostile to tlie traffic. We do not question the sincerely good intentions of the committee who gave the bill its present form, nor of many of those who support it. They have cer tainly taken great pains to guard against the extension of the vice to Hawaiians. Hut we believe that the effect of the system would inevitably be largely to victimize Hawaiians,as well as Chinese. The Chinese contribute a very large and influentialelement in the population of Hawaii nei. The future social condition of Hawaii is to be deeply and radically affected by the intelligence and the moral condition of our Chinese fellowcitizens. Shall they be demoralized by opium, or shall they he uplifted and purified by Christianity ? It will be impossible for us deliberately to relegate our Chinese brethren to the dominion of this Opium devil, and not have our own children defiled and scorched by the fiend. To forget or deny that every Chinaman is a man and a brother, is to invite the penalty of God's established laws. We have the undoubted right to protect ourselves against an injurious or pernicious immigration; but we must not discriminate against Asiatics as the Devil's rightful prey, or we may find ourselves participants in their doom. We might as well expect to escape cholera or small-pox, if we left the Chinese quarter of the city to become infected./ The brotherhood of men inevitable asserts itself for evil, if it he not maintained for good. It is no', a practical error for legislators to cultivate high moral sentiments. It clarifies, not dulls their judgments, and vivifies their perception of the danXo ger of tampering with vices. class of men more need to think and to 3 Vol. live upon a high moral plane, than those who are set to make laws for protecting the moral and physical health of the people.Death of Jonathan Austin. This honored citizen of Honolulu has been taken from us after a long and severe illness. Mr. Austin had resided in the Islands fifteen years, having joined his brothers here in 1877. Born in Saratoga, he enlisted as a private in the 78th N. Y. regiment, at the opening of the war, gradually rising to its colonelcy. Col. Austin was Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1888 to 181)0, in the Thurston Cabinet. Although not practicing much in the courts, his legal advice was much valued. He leaves two children, Mrs. Oscar White and Miss M. Austin, by whom he was greatly beloved as a tender and faithful parent. The funeral was largely attended at the family residence at Waikiki. Horner's Banking Bill was finally defeated by a two thiids majority. This relieves much serious anxiety, as the native members showed a strong disposition to support the measure. We have the highest esteem for the author of the bill, as a zealous promoter of Reform. He believed that he was promoting a great and valuable financial reform, which would relieve the people of heavy burdens of interest, and would make money abundant. We deeply regret that he should have so earnestly adopted what we believe to be a pernicious financial delusion. We trust that Mr. Homer's valuable services may long be enjoyed by the Hawaiian public in more useful work than advocating fiat money. Bill passed, we regret on December 31st, by a majority, who believe that its provisions The Opium to say, will protect all but Chinese from the spread ofthe vice. Messrs. Kauhane, losepa, \V. (). Smith and F.C.Jones, who are prominent "missionary" men, all were against it. The duty on Spirits has been raised from $:$ to $3.58 a gallon. Truth is not cherished where sin is nourished.

Two native Protestant churches united in a praise service at Kaumakapili, which was especially impressive. Rev. H. H. Parker made an eloquent and persuasive address. This volume of 150 pages is before us in improved form. There are four fine photogravures, including a new and good one of the Cjueen. 50 pages are occupied by very full statistical tables, well indexed for reference It being the jubilee year of the restoration of Hawaiian Independence by Admiral Thomas, 3.3 pages are devoted to that event and the provisional cession preceding it, seven pages of very lively reminiscences of the event being supplied by Senator G. D. Oilman of Boston. Forty-eight pages more are occupied by valuable articles, several of which are very enter taining reading to all persons interested in these islands. Of material value are those on Harbor Improvements, the Bishop Museum, the Historical Society, Water Works, and Possible Industries in Hawaii. The volume also contains much information of special value for Tourists. Tbe price is 75 cenls. The Chinese Church on Christmas presented a most interesting spectacle, made especially so. that it was their first occupancy of the large new addition to their building. This was not qilite completed, being still unpaint cd. It was filled, however, by the scholars of the Chinese mission schools, who exhibited in various songs and recitations in English and Chinese. Brilli antly adorned and illuminated, in front of the organ, stood an immense Christmas tree, a young lir. A crowded audience of both Christian and other Chinese men and women, mostly parents of the pupils, listened with deep interest. A least of ice cream and other goodies followed in the basement, where all the 350 scholars were fed. eve The Japanese Church under the lead of the new pastor, the Rev. Mr. O-ku, held their festival on Tuesday evening in the Lyceum. A tree similar to, but a little smaller than at the Chinese festival, was displayed. There were several songs and addresses in Japanese, which were much applauded. A sword dance followed, with a farcical performance succeeding. Then came a distribution oi an immense variety of knicknacks, curios, fans, umbrellas, etc. Two hundred numbered lamp-spills were handed round, and each number brought a present. The church and the people earned great credit in making their Christmas such a success. Perhaps twenty whites were present, many of them teachers in this Sabbath school. The Portuguese Sunday School were not behind the others in their display. Mr. Fmmeluth had donated to them also one of his beautiful fir trees. The little church was a bower of palms and ferns. A fine programme ofsongsand exercises was carried out in English and Portuguese, chiefly by the young folks. A native dramatic talent was very noticeable, and sonorous Portuguese seemed to lend itselfbetter to song and oratory than the strange Asiatic tongues. There was a generous distribution of candies, fruits and nuts to the children. The greatest credit is due to Pastor and Mrs. Snares, and to their assistants in the mission school, as well as to the friends who aided ill the festival. A New Brick Chimney, 125 feet high has just been completed at Kohala Co.'s Mill. It forms a fine landmark. WilHeliveuptoit?-Mr J.W. Kalua is probably the ablest and brightest Hawaiian living of pure blood. Everybody likes him. He has lately been ill at his home in Wailuku, and the other day was reported to be dead. The Legis lature, of which he had formerly been one of the most prominent members, adjourned for half a day out ol respect for his memory. Various bodies passed resolutions of eulogy and condolence. His character was highly extolled. Now, to the general joy, he proves likely to live and serve his country for man)' years. Mr. Kalua was a favorite pupil of ours at Lahainaluna. He was then, and is now, an earnest Christian. Unhappily, many years ago he fell under the then deadly influence of the Palace, and acquired a drink appetite, which caused several periods of lapse from the high and worthy living that upon the whole has characterized his career. It is profoundly to be hoped that the eulogies he has now received will contribute to strengthen his purpose to lay hold of God's grace, and continue to live a wholly worthy life, and do honor to his country and his people. We believe that Mr. Kalua will live up to what has so affectionately been said of him. MakwMem li ade a most successful trial Dec. 15th. Grinding is expected to begin January 15th. This is, we believe, the best appointed, if not the largest establishment in the Islands. By means of a splendid hydraulic system, it utilizes the noble Hanapepe river on Kauai, to irrigate one of the finest tracts of land on these Islands. Henry P. Baldwin is chief of the concern. Wh i. Duty on Sugar he restored? Our people are nourishing strong hopes that the Free Trade Democrats will restore at least a part of the duty which tbe Protectionist Republicans retnovjd. It is quite possible, however absurd it may sound. I r it happens, Hawaiian sugar receipts will gain about $2,800,000 per annum for every cent per pound of duty restored, which will bean immense relief to our financial straitness. Mr. Cleveland is reported as favoring it. Per contra, will be the impossibility of replacing the sugar duty without abrogating America's valuable Reciprocity treaties with Cuba, Brazil and other countries. It will also require of the Democratic statesmen immense audacity to restore dear sugar to the masses of the common people, on whom the Republicans conferred the blessing of cheap sugar. They will hardly dare face the storm of hatred and ridicule that would ensue. Nothing could more quickly teach the masses which party were their real friends. Let us not be sanguine as to a change.

Dedicatory Hymn 111. Benediction. •A. Postlude. We give an abstract of the addresses. Rev. W. IL Oeeson said that the avowed purpose in building this housewas to make a spiritual honie for the people of Honolulu. Christ came to preach the gospel to the poor. Our churches must wear the same aspect o< hospitality that gathered the multitudes about the feet of Jesus. It is this spirit that opens this house wide to-day. No man will willingly stand outside Heaven because it is too beautiful within for his poverty of aspect. The beauty and comfort and peace of the house of (rod is yours, whether you have tasted of the hope immortal, or are only in the border land of religious belief. It welcomes even the disbelieving soul. The religion of Jesus is vitalizing power, bringing strength, comfort, help into all hearts. Every class of men needs the helpful gifts of the spirit of Jesus. Let this house be the home of the people in the spirit of Jesus' example, and Honolulu may well bless the day that its stones were laid and its doors opened wide. Rev. O. P. EmBRSON said that the Child life was what lent distinction to the Home. So was it also in the church home. The house needs the children. Let them flock in and there will be no chill in this great stone house. Their sweet presence will soften and warm our hearts. They are to he the congregation of the future, as the leading element of to-day's congregation were the children of thirty years ago. Still more do the children need the house, here to find spiritual life, here to be born anew, here to confess Christ, here to he brought for baptism. The doors of this house are open for the children with warmest welcome. Rev. Dr. C. M. llvde said that all the appurtenances of this building mark it as a house of worship. It is not a temple for stated performance of sacred rites. While embodying the churchly ideal, it is not mainly an ecclesiastical structure, but "the Lord's house,'' where his Church convene to praise and commune with the adorable One. The arrangements of this house also contemThe plate instruction and fellowship. name "Central Union" embodies the idea of convenience and fellowship. It is sometimes derisively called "the missionary church." And this building does stand as a memorial of those holy missionary fathers and mothers to whose work we succeed. In this building we have lovingly given for our Lord's use our richest and best. Yet they are worthless gifts if only substitutes for personal love and helpfulness. Whoever enters this house should feel at once that it is the spiritual home of a live church. It must be a house of prayer for al! sorts and conditions of men. All our hearts and hands must be engaged in the salvation and sanetification of sinful humanity. We can have in this work Apostolic success, more important than Apostolic succession, only as we received the promised powerfor service by the gift of the Holy Ohost. May that Pentecostal gift make our motto "Christ in us, tbe hope of glory, and we in Christ, for the uplift ing of the world into the light and love The Evening Services.

We have fittingly made our gift outwardly more choice than they could do. As a bride brings to her husband some scarf of rich adorning with her sweetest love, so let us bring this beautiful edifice to our Lord with our dearest affection. His answering bless ing will come in inspiration, in power. He will keep this house from becoming a place of cold, stately worship. He will make it the home of melting Christian experiences, of mighty awakenings, ol varied and outre.idling planning lor the work of his Kingdom, and of munificent distribution of our resources. And he will make every lowly and sinful one feel through us a full welcome into this house of the pardoning, comforting, loving Shepherd of their souls. The transfer of the church to the Trustees was made by the Hon. Alex ander Young in behalf of tbe Building Committee,, in words expressive ol satis faction in, after long waiting, being snugly housed in the new church, and of profound gratitude lo God, in making us the possessors of such a noble edifice. "With this thought in mind I now. on behalf of the Building Committee, to whom was entrusted the erection anil completion of this new home of ours, deliver over tbe premises and keys to the Trustees of the Central Union Church of Honolulu." Hon J. (). Carter, for the trustees, responded in a few suitable words, accepting the keys, and delivering them to the Pastor. The church and congregation then rose and joined with the.Pastor in a most impressive dedicatory service, both responsive])' and unitedly.

He added praise of the many workmen lor the workmanlike handicraft exhibited and the faithful work not exposed to view. Unlike Alexander the Great, the building committee would not sit down and cry because there is not another church lor them to build right off. The next thing is for the church to go into committee ol the whole, and work and pray for the upbuilding of the church and congregation. 'These stones now hewn and fitted into arches and jambs and ashlar and lintels and corbels, were lately lying in unshapely lumps and ledges; and there are many men and women in Honolulu true at heart, who can with proper labor he brought in to build up this church.

'The choice of the lot was adopted Jan. 9, 1889. The architect Mi. Pot-dwell visited Honolulu in November following. On June 2, 1890, the bid for tbe foundation was accepted and the contract satisfactorily carried out by Mr. F. Harrison.

Mutch in charge of the wood work, and Mr. Geo. 'Turner of the painting. The work has been most conscientiously executed, and the church has a building which in point of construction could hardly be excelled. 145 1 cubic yards i>{' stone,were used There are 225 in the superstructure electric lights in the building. $60,0<HJ have been expended for labor. One or more of the committee have been almost daily on the premises. Hon. P. C. JONES said if tbe church was indebted to the contributors for this building, tbe latter are indebted to the faithful Building Committee. Among the contributors are those of other denominations, without whose aid our work would have been greatly curtailed. The largest amount is from members of this congregation, whose only regret is that they have not been able to give more. The church was planned in a time ol great prosperity, whose failure leaves us in debt. 'This elegant structure will be a monument to brother Lishman. Mr. G. D. Oilman has given a pulpit bible. He was a member of the Bethel church fifty years ago. My uppermost thought is the very great responsibility that God has placed upon us. First, for tile debt. A large sum is already pledged for it. Second, to assuie a large amount for church expenses. 'Third, to till these seats with families and withyoung people who have no other church home. "CJuit you like men, and be strong.'' Prof. A. B.

Without wishing to bring this congregation under the malediction, "Wo to them that are at ease in Zion," we would make the worshippers comfortable. We extend heart) thanks to all who have helped us, especially to the restaurateurs, who have bestowed on us substantial gifts, while we were "poaching on their preserves." "Woman's finest power is always social. It is as religious to bring a lonely spirit to the touch of human sympathy, as to send a boy to the missionaries.'' We hope to make this church a larger social power. Let us look upein our beautiful church as a home, and try to make it a home for the homeless and lonely in our midst. Tim Hawaiian Churches Rev. H, 11. Parker. The Founder of Christianity, on the eve of his passion, expressed the desire that the representatives of Christianity throughout the world might be one. If ever there was a land where the transforming power of Christianity has made its mark it is in these fair islands of the sea. But we seem now to have arrived at that stage of our growth where we need to diligently cherish the spirit of unity which Christ so earnestly speaks of. The forces that surround us are full of discoid, and the tendency of our times, in these little islands at This least, is toward disintegration. condition of things is easily accounted for. We are coming nearer to the influences of the great sweeping tide of religious and social progression that has been one of tbe distinctive features of the nineteenth century. The old landmarks are passing away. New issues are com- Toward that horizon, whose distance in the past lent enchantment to the view, he is now rapidly advancing and it is portentous of changes. He knows not what the issues will be. And it is very natural that he should feel disturbed. Then we have a large heterogeneous foreign population with its distracting elements. It has come to us from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south With each nationality has come its own peculiar social and religious habits and customs. And so it has come to pass that in this beautiful land the progressive Christian civilization of modern times and the heathen civilization of the Orient with the cist off remnants of a defunct paganism have found a field of conflict. Not a day too soon did the pioneersof the work in these islands begin to build. 'They have laid the foundations well. It is for us who now stand in their places, and for those who may come after us in their time, to add our tribute of service to the one and the same cause. The world may lose sight of those early workers and their humble disciples, as it will lose sight of us, but the inspiration which they breathed into the life of this land and the institutions they planted here will never die. Be it ours in this day to perfect as well as we are able to do it the work of those wht> have gone befoie us. Let the life and the life's work forever witness to the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of the race. Trie faith of tbe Hawaiian Christian is very simple and very beautiful. He simply looks up to God as a little child looks up to the face of its father. He reciprocates love with fidelity. He loves those who hold to a common faith with himself. And if he is not betrayed or deceived he will continue constant to the end. He rejoices with you to-day. I respectfully tender to you the happy greetings of all Hawaiian Christians in this city. They rejoice with you in the completion of your new and beautiful house. I bespeak for them a reverent and respectful demeanor when they shall unite with you in the worship of God. Breaking of Sunday School Jugs. 'This took place in the new School Dec. 15th. Supt. J. T. Waterhouse, Jr., knocked the heads off from 57 jugs, which had been swallowing the coins of their respective class owners for several months. Each class has a motto which was nicely lettered on a black board, and the contents of c ich jug recorded opposite. $491.72 was the total, $144.25 of which came from the infant school room. The choir jug yielded $52.35 for the benefit of the organ fund. The balance is for furnishing the school room.

She comes to do work among ie women, and has already been introuced to her field. We believe that nere is not a more hopeful line of work nan this which has been placed in her ands, for it concerns the family life of very important class of our population, fa people who are building houses and saring children, who rank among the lightest of those attending our schools. Word has come from the rooms of the A. B. C. E. M., that the request of the Hawaiian Board for the retention of the Rev. O. H. Gulick among us as a missionary worker, cannot be granted. He cannot be spared from Japan It is though that Mr. Gulick's leave f absence be extended six months, and lat he use the added time for work mong us. The Hawaiian Board has ccepted thislimited oft'erof Mr. Guiick's service, and after his visit to the States, whither he goes in February, he will probably return and be with us the alloted time.

" But,' she, "you are a stranger to me." c replied, " 1 saw your spirit beckong me to come in, and so I have "nic" At this, the woman was frightled, because it is a popular belief among the natives, that the spirit does sometimes leave the body and wander off, and that when this occurs it is a premonition of death, and that death will surely come unless relief is found by the hand of some kahuna, and the PKing (.id spirit can be made to cease its wander- were anticipating eagerly the general ings.
