What has been the actual fact? It is one which seems almost incredible. We are informed by the authorities concerned, that after deducting from the still unpaid subscriptions all those that are seriously doubtful, about ninety-nine per cent of the whole will have been realized. The shrinkage will be only one per cent. We believe that no church building in the United States can show so noble a record This estimate concerns only the earlier subscriptions. The amount to be realized upon the debt subscription is in the future. We are confident that the shrinkage in that will rather be lessened than increased. Rich and Poor Seated Alike. To a leading member of Central Union Church the remark was lately made by a prominent gentleman, who belongs to the Palace party, and is anything but a "missionary," "I like your church for one thing; that is that the poorest person has just the same chance to hold a good pew as a rich one." We are told by the treasurer that there are persons unable to pay over one dollar a month who are occupying pews which would have brought $250 a year if sold in the usual manner. There are also persons who will undoubtedly pay $*20 a month, who are holding pews worth not $40 a year. This is just as we would have it. And we believe that our six months trial of the system is going to prove a great success. Many people are now attracted to the church who never paid anything before, but now will become helpers. Every one pays what they feel able to. None of our able members are going to give any less because they have second or third rate seats. It is too soon to speak confidently of the result. About $550 a month is necessary for church expenses. Twice that amount came in during the first month, but much of it was for months in advance, while manypew holders have as yet paid nothing, but will do so when called on by the treasurer. Church Benevolences. About $400 a month is hoped to be raised for those objects by the regular collections in the boxes at morning and evening worship. In the old Fort Street church the receipts had somewhat declined since hard times began. With the increased congregations in the new church they have materially advanced. These monies go to support not church expenses, but the extended mission, Sunday School, and Relief work carried on directly by this church. It is thus apparent that over $11,000 are thus raised annually for regular THE FRIEND. church expenses and benevolences. But in addition to these there is a very large system of benevolent contributions by the members ofthe Central Union Church to Mission, Educational and other work, and through other organization*) amount ing at a very moderate estimate to not less than $-24,000 annually, or added to the above $1 1,000, not less than 55,000 in all, or $70.00 per member the church. This is exclusive of large special acts oi munificence by wealthy members. Is there another church in the world that exceeds this average? If there is, it must be some wealthy church in a great metropolis. [March, 1893. Death of Miss Stevens. Our community experienced a most painful shock on the night of January 31st, by the arrival of the steamer Kman from Hawaii with the body of the beloved Miss Grace Stevens, the eldest daughter of the American Minister. Her death occurred at Kukaiau Landing on the precipitous coast of Hamakua, Hawaii. She had been safely lowered into the boat of the Kinait, which had also pushed out towards the ship, but owing to a misunderstanding turned back. A heavy roller capsized the boat, which was shattered upon the rocks. The native mate, a powerful man, seized Miss Stevens, hut a second roller tore her from his grasp and Hung her against the rocks. A second boat came in and rescued the live natives, who were good swimmers, and recovered the body of the unfortunate lady. This sudden bereavement has been a terrible blow to the honored parents and the sister of the departed. Miss Stevens had during January visited the Volcano with her father, and had turned aside to visit fi lends in the beautiful district of Hamakua. Hearing of the revolution in Honolulu, and of her father's need of her wonted aid as his private secretary, she hastened to his help, heroically encountering the somewhat perilous, yet rarely disastrous transit from the precipice to the ship, in order to expedite her coming. On the night when the terrible blow fell upon his household, the Minister was deeply engrossed in preparing for the morning's mail his final despatches to his government respectingthe revolution, and the raising of the American flag to take place the next morning By heroic effort of will, grief was postponed for duty, and the dispatches were completed. Thus are tragic private sorrows, and momentous public events closely intermingled. The great sorrow and sympathy of the people of Honolulu was shown by the crowded attendance at the funeral services held at the house on February •2nd. A violent storm of rain held off until the mounters had returned from the hasty service at the Cemetery. Thus have startling events continued to tread upon each others steps. Central Union Church as a Witness. Just at this time, the enemies ol the late revolution and of annexation are sending statements abroad to the effect that the revolution was made by the "missionary part}'' for selfish ends with total lac. of principle, and without scruple as to the means. Central Union Church is generally and very correctly regarded as the great "missionary church among the whites of Honolulu. Nearly all persons in the city allied to the old mission families by birth or marriage are members of the congregation. Probably nine tenths of the congregation actively favored the revolution, as did the great majority of the other white people of Honolulu, who are not in any special sympathy with this church. The movement was one supported by the bulk of the white population, but especial!)' so by the missionary " church people. Believing the abrogation of the monarchy to have been indispensable to the continued progress of Christian civilization in these Islands, we feel justified in so far "mingling religion and politics," as to employ in testimony the showing as to character which is made tor our noble Central Union Church by the facts above set forth. Do these things look as though the missionary" people helonged to the selfish and unscrupulous class? Do they not prove that Honolulu contains a body of Christian people of exceptionally high character for benevolence, for munificence, for active cooperation in good works ? Here is their splendid church edifice, hardly surpassed in beauty by an)' on the Pacific coast. It is paid for, in a time of depression, by heroic and loyal effort. It stands in beauty, a monument to the lofty and generous character of the Christianity which takes the lead in all that is good in this superb Anglo American Colony of Hawaii nei. Before this impressive visible testimony let the voice of calumny be dumb. We know our Honolulu Christians too well to doubt that they will, by God's grace, continue to make this testimony good, and to strengthen it more and If more care were given to character, more by their manifold good works in the coming days of strenuous labor for less trouble need be taken about reputation. the right.

Ot such Kauhane and losepa happen to have been conspicuous representatives of late.

" Dr. Hyde is very happy to express his gratitude to the kind friend in the States who has sent him $. )l>() for the North Pacific Mission Institute. It has been a difficult matter for the students this year to support themselves. So many laborers have been out of employment, and so many Japanese are read) to do odd jobs for a mere pittance, that remunerative work has not been easily obtained. In this connection, it is proper to recognise the kind assistance received from a friend on Kauai, who has Several times sent to the Institute bags of sweet potatoes und sugar, a very timely help for those whose table in the best of seasons, is but scantily supplied with the bare necessaries of life. Changing social conditions necessitate a change of the basis of support for the students. Will not some one give the Hawaiian Hoard a fund of $10,000 for this worthy object ? r The P. C.

On the afternoon of Feb. 13th, a trim looking boat entered the harbor and landed at Mrewer'S wharf. It contained the survivors of the well known Hawaii an bark Lndv LamptOH, including C'apt J. Petersen and wife, the second mate, cook, cabin boy and two seamen. The bark, with coal for Honolulu from Sydney, was wrecked on the Kith of January, upon a reef 40 miles from Palmyra I. After several days in open boats vainly trying to reach that island, the wreck was regained, and the boats and people recruited. The)- then sailed for Honolulu. Provisions and water were abundant, but they suffered much from cold, wet, and cramped positions. Two days out, the mate's boat with five men became separated. They were 17 days in the boat. Mrs. Petersen was much reduced, but with ten days at the Ragle House, regained hei strength. The steamer C. R. Bishop was despatched by the Government on the evening of the 15th to cruise in search of the missing boat, going as far as Palmyra 1., 900 miles distant. The Bishop called at l.ahaina and Kailua, then at Waimea, Kauai, on the 18th, leaving that day for the southward. lectured upon her visit to Madagascar, for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. The lectuie was a most entertaining one. A Great Rainfall.—A remarkable rainstorm commenced within an boor and ■ half after the hoisting of the American Hag. During nine days Ovei thirteen inches fell in Honolulu. On the 2nd, the fall was about five inches, a thing of most unusual occurrence. A nearly equally rainy February occurred in INNS. A fall of six or seven inches in a single month is not uncommon in this cit) in the winter. This storm seems to have t Xtended to America anil ban ope.

I feel as if I could do something towards clearing away the old superstitious beliefs of the people. Of course I have not seen much of such things, and their removal may not be as easy as I think. William Higgins, the evangelist, who is conducting the mission of the Hawaiian Hoard at Emma Hall, reports a good work being done there through a society of young men which he has been instrumental in forming. They have meetings during the week, as well as on the Sabbath day. These meetings are essentially for the study of the bible and for prayer, but they are conducted as a sort of debating society, each speaker basing his argument on some scripture. The association began with a membership of eight. Tbt: number is now forty-nine. Numbers of people who formerly were irreligious have been inter ested. Several have borne testimony to a change in their lives. The effect of this work on the Kan makapili meetings is very marked, We never attended in that church a more interesting prayer hieetiiif-; than that of last Wednesday evening. Some forty men were present, and at least a score of them took part. It is possible that Emma Hall may serve as tbe Y. M. C. A. or Y. Y. S. C. E. center that John Wise is wishing for. One feature of the work being done among these young men is the encourthem to save their agement being money. At the beginning of the year a bank book was furnished each one and they were helped to make a deposit. By the death of Mrs. Puahi, widow of Rev. S. Kaaua, tbe Hawaiian Board will come into the receipt of nearly three hundred dollars annually. It is the income from some valuable cane lands, bequeathed by the deceased Hawaiian pastor, in trust to Dr. Hyde, for the work of the Hoard among Hawaiian*. It is gratifying to find this spirit of grateful acknowledgement for aid received, prompting some of the Hawaii. ans, of their own accord, in their own way to make such disposition of their property after their death. �25 THE FRIEND, Gen.

A Visit to Kahuku. To relieve a chronic headache, we some time ago treated ourselves to an outing of four days, by visiting Kahuku Plantation, situated upon the north point of Oahu, and about 40 miles journey from this city, whether one goes by the east or west side of the island. We chose the western route, going by rail 12 miles to Pearl City. There we found waiting the four hurse stage of the veteran White. There were three other passengers. We traversed the elevated plain to Waialua, 18 miles in three and a half hours, crossing the three gulches of Kipapa, Waikakalaua and Kaukonahua, mostly on easy grades, and seldom off a fair trot. Since five years ago, the entire road has been fenced in by the cattle owners. No planting was seen, and rarely a house. Yet there are at least 30,000 acres of beautiful level upland, mostly of from 800 to 1000 feet altitude, with a delightful climate. The soil, however, is generally not of the best, and there is too little moisture for cane. It is beyond question that grain and hay crops will do well there in the winter and spring, with proper management. Citrus and other fruits and grapes flourish, This 1 will be a prosperous farming region in j the future. The air is delightfully bracing. After an hour's rest and lunch at Waialua, we made the 14 miles along the shore to Kahuku in about three hours. The road is mainly as nature and travel have left it. A good bridge at Waimea enables you to avoid the formidable sands. The cane at Kahuku began four miles west of the mill, forming a belt of from 20 to 40 rods wide along the coast, and ; a little up the' lower slopes below the bluffs. It was all irrigated. A large pumping station lifts the water some t>o feet from great natural springs in the marsh near sea level. A 200 acre field | was being cut. Four trains a day were being hauled to the mill, each of twenty cars with five tons of cane stalks, or '40* tons of cane a day, from which the mill working night and day produced forty tons of sugar. Eighty Japanese gathered and loaded the cane, which was cut by another gang. Everything moved quietly as by clock work. Other gangs were dressing newly cut fields, or stripping next year cane. The noble mill was working with great precision. Lit by electric lamps at night, it presented a brilliant spectacle.
