The present is necessarily a tune < I somewhat piinful solicitude foi the spirit ual welfare of our Hawaiian churches Their Christian life is just now (offering very seriously by reason of the prevailing political animosity. The people are great ly divided upon the subject of annexation, and the most rancorous language is habitually used by the royalists in denouncing their o ponents. Among the earnest advocates of annex ition are a niaj irity of the best and ablest native pastors, who have long mourned the poisonous in fluent-e of the heathenizing Court upon the life of their churches. Against these noble men there is bitter railing, and in their churches great il vision. These faith ful pastors are habitually stigmatised in the two royalist papers, as the worst ol traitors to their country and their people. A corresponding antagonism is shown toward the white brethren whose labors are among the natives, although some of them vtry properly avoid obtruding their politi cal opinions, according to the nature ol their work. In personal intercouse, ht.w ever, with Christian natives of opposing sentiments, we find apparent cordiality, and we are sure that most of the hard language used in print is merely buncombe, after Hawaiian fashion. In this state of thirgs our large and gen erous body of White Christian workers, as well as iif the right thinking natives, have greater need if unfailing patience and love, with courage to go forward in all gootl work f i the Hawaiian people, undeterred by d> nunciation. let us not fail to realize of what prime imp' nance to Christ's King_ dom h< re is the maintenance of a high anil genuine piety among our native Christ ians, ami how disastrous to all our mission work would l>c its failure to shine out A genuine Hawaiian Christianity is an tsstntial part of our basis ol iciive opera lions for propagating the knowledge ol Christ among cur numerous Asiatic visit urs whom the Divine providence has sen I here to receive Christian light. The present adverse condition! may be deemed as Imt transient. To our dim human vision, annexation si ems to be our manifest destiny, to be consummated soon, ai the farthest. When a< coraplished, its benefits will become so manifest thai all parties will cheerfully acquiesce, anil the present animosity will (ease. Until then we must labor on in patience The Treasurer of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, will close his accounts fur the year < n the 15th of this month, as in former years. He makes an appeal to the readers ol Tiik Friend for the necessary funds to enable him to close the year out of debt. Ibis will require about $3,000,-- as the salaries of all the Hawaiian Missionaries in the Gilbert Islands have yet to be paid for this year, and there are other objects calling loudly for funds. The Hawaiian Hoard is doing excellent work among the Hawaiians, the l'ortuguese, the Chinese and the Japanese all over these Islands, besides work for schools. The Treasurer would grattfully acknowledge the receipt f various amounts from many friends of Missions, and especially the aid given by one of the best friends of this people of funds for various objects amounting to $15,000. As this is a permanent fund and the interest only can be used, it does not avail for the present needs of the work mentioned above. Any and all contributions that the friends of this work may be pleased to give can be sent to W.m. \V. Hall, Treas. Hawaiian board. . 33 Number f>. A Royalist Convention. An association of natives, called the HaPatriotic League, is meeting in con- waiian vention, May Ist, at Arion Hall in Honolulu, to advocate the restoration of the Monarchy. There are about forty deleThe government gives them entire gales. freed >m of utterance, and of personal conference with the depos'-d Queen. Such delegates us are known to us, are not of the lies! and most reliable class of natives. Several who were members of the late legislature, were always found on the side of the lottery and corruption generally. Two delegates have been named to us as kahuna sorcerers of well known reputation. The convention probably aims to piss resolutions in the hope of influencing the mind of Commissioner Mlount. Siiung delegations have been coming in hum the Annexationist Clubs front the olhtr islands, for the purpose of represent lug their views to Mr. Illount. Among the delegation from Maui are the foremost of our native laywers, J. W. Kalua, and Rev. A. I'ali, the old and excellent pastor of l.ahaina. As a general rule, the i I.iss of natives whom we have learned to esteem and trust are on the side of annex ation. A veiy tew such still i ling to the Monarchy, which is not strange, as that represents the political ascendency of the natives. Most of the intelligent and wisely pitriotic natives see that the continuant c of such an ascendency is impossible and only injurious to all classes, and that the time has come to abandon it. Hence they heartily unite with us in seeking to come under the United States, which will guarantee equal rights to all classes alike. Worth Annexation. The Pacific copies some figures from Tiik PaiBND showing the amount annually contributed by members of the Central Union Church and Congregation for church purposes, benevolences, mission and education work, etc., to aggregate $35,000, or an average of $70 a member. It adds, "Is there another church in all the world that does as well? We think that such a church is worth annexing." �[May, 1893. THE FRIEND. 34 LanPdreoptyfMissionaries. It has always been a current statement in Honolulu "that the old missionaries acquired large estates here in lands. Such an assertion appears made by a writer, no doubt honestly, in the April number of The Californinn Magazine. It is, in the main, quite incorrect. Most of the missionaries availed themselves of the offers of the King about 1.550, to buy tracts of government land at hall price, investing therein from perhaps five hundred to two thousand each. It was the desire of the King to retain so desirable a class as permanent residents with their growing families. We believe I bat very few of them invested as much as one thousand dollars, and some like father Lyons, never bought land at all. Mosi, however, secured a few hundred acres or more for their dairy herds to run upon. Most of these lands appreciated very moderately in value. In a few cases, they may during the lifetime of the missionary, have reached a value of from two io live thousand dollars. We know of only one case where the missionary became wealthy in consequence of his investment, his two thousand acres of past tire near his home in a remote rural disliict, having become the nucleus of one of our best sugar plantations—all without effort or calculation upon his part. It should be statetl, that this missionary always donated the larger half of his income to missionary and educational uses. The "rich missionary" is a myth. There were a lew cases in which, by investments of property inherited from their own or a wife's parents, a missionary may in old age have realized an income of one thousand dollars, or less. There were also five or six instances in Honolulu of lay members of the mission, whose special functions as assistants had lapsed, who engaged in secular business about forty years ago, and accpiired considerable property. These, however, could hardly be considered as typical missionary instances. As a body, the missionaries lived simply and frugally, and left but small estates behind them, notwithstanding exceptional opportunities of accumulating wealth. This was as it should be. Their numerous children have generally been fairly prosperous, and several have become verywealthy. We do not know any of these who are not munificiently liberal and public spirit- Ed in the use of their property. This property is the creation of their own skill and enterprise in developing the resources of the country, an enterprise which has spread plenty throughout the land, where Calumny only poverty had reigned. sometimes rails at the missionaries' s >ns as having gathered wealth by robbery of the native people. This is as irrational to s as y that the wealth of Calif mia is the fruit of robbery of the lettered aborigines of that country. In the case of the Hawaiian*, their avtrage property valuation has multiplied manifold dining the past forty years From comparative nakedness they have become writ clothed; and from grass huts, tiny have come to IiVC in good wooden dwellings, well furnished. The natives have shared largely in the general prosperity of the country. Board of Health at the Leper Settlement. Last Friday evening, the 28th, the Eehua steamed up to Kalaupapa with Hon. W. O. Smith, the President of the Hoard of Health, and Drs. Andrews and Day, with J. T. Watcrhouse, Jr. and Minister King of the Interior, As invited guests were Dr. Simons of the Mohican, Dr. Cordeira of the Adams, with Dr. Delamater and Miss Carroll of the Queen's Hospital. Landing at 8 a.m., the day was spent in inspecting the settlement. 'The Leper band was in attendance at the landing, and a cordial welcome was given by the people. The party were at once taken to the house of the permanent superintendent. After eating luncheon and taking a short rest, President Smith made the assembled multitude a brief address ol greeting, promising to meet them again in the afternoon. 'The party then visited the Bishop home for leper girls, under the care of Mother Superior Marianne and several other Franciscan Sisters, and consisting of the school and industrial rooms, and ten or more separate rJormitory buildings, accommodating HO or ill) inmates. The rooms are as nicely furnished and kept as in first-class hospitals, and hung with pictures and small decorations. The girls are from three to eighteen years of age. The party proceeded on horseback to Kalawao, where they examined the Boy's home, under the guidance of Dr. Oliver the resident physician. This is also in charge of Franciscan sisters and Joseph Dutton. About seventy leper boys aie here provided for. 'They greeted the visitors with a song of welcome. Many of these children are sadly disfigured and enfeebled with their malady. Three of the party went three miles farther to the valley of Waikolu to inspect the waterworks. The main is a four-inch water pipe hung to the face of the perpendicular precipice for several thousand feet, and just above the heating of the surf. The new bath bouse was inspected, now being erected for the treatment oi Dr. (ioto's patients. 'The warm baths are medicated with certain Japanese herbs. The store maintained by the Board of Health was also examined. Returning to Kalaupapa, they called at the houses of various lepers, many of them well known Hawaiian*. 'The slaughter house was looked at, also the proposed reservoir site, and the kuleanas which the government wish to purchase. The llamien monument was viewed, which was donated by friends in England, and placed in position at the expense of the government. The Catholic Mission was visited, in charge of Rev. Father Wendolin. 'The officials then proceeded to I.utz Hall, which was established by Mrs. Rose Gertrude I.utz. The hall was crowded by the lepers, who were addressed by President Smith and asked to state their desires. 'The tone of their replies was of a thoughtful nature and indicated a good feeling existing among the inmates of the settle ment. 'The President answered each point in detail. At the Superintendent's bouse the physicians examined a number ol the patients, and a consultation was held with the excellent and experienced agent, R. W. Meyer. There are now 1084 lepers at the settlement, besides about •_'ii(i "kokuas," or relatives permitted to go their to their aid. The mortality is Many of the cases are Far great. advanced, and present an aspect ol wretched disfigurement Although the disease is characteristically anaesthetic, and not attended with acute pain, yet , the settlement is a land of sorrow and hopelessness, despite the natural caieless cheerfulness of Hawaiians. The New Organ. Central Union Church edifice has become complete in its furnishings by the inauguration of its new organ. On the evening of April :t Ist there was a full house assembled to hear the fine instrument put through its pacts. The four choirs of St Andrews, Kawaiahao, Kaumakapili and Central Union Churches all assisted in accompanying its tones with their voices. Mrs. Jucld, Miss L. F, Dale, Mr. Berger and Mr. W'ray 'Taylor took turns at the organ, Mr. 'Taylor closing the exercises with a grand display of the various stops. A collection of over $'J"0 was taken up towards payment for the organ, a few hundred dollars of which still remain to be secured. Our musical artists are greatly delight ed at this fine addition to the instrumental furnishing of our churches. May its rich tones long continue to draw many to the house of God, and help to kindle their hearts into earnest worship. �Vol. 51, No. 5.J THE FRIEND. 35 AN INDEPENDENT HAWAIIAN REPUBLIC. and controlled by the great and salutary- were the chiefcontributors to the expense Such is the chief alternative proposed instead of 'Territorial Government under the United States. It may be taken for granted that America would not annex Hawaii as a State. Our population is too small. Moreover, America would wish to test our capacities for self government before granting us the dignity and autonomy of a State. 'The restoration of the Monarchy is quite generally admitted to be out of the question. It has ceased to be considered hen: as a practical alternative. During the past month there has come to the front a more or less definite proposition to make Hawaii an independent Republic, supposed, we presume, to be guaranteed by the United States against foreign interference. To this scheme have been rallying mainly the elements in opposition to the Provisional G ivernment. General suffrage appears to he a part of the plan. If any limitations of suffrage are con te in plated, they have not appeared. 'The support of this scheme would seem to How not from a desire for good and stable government, but from the hopes of recovering rule by the class who have hitherto been leaders in political corruption under the monarchy. They would expect so to manipulate the native vote as to control legislation. By the arrival of Mi. Clans Spreckels the hopes of this ni:w combination are much raised. He looks very unfavorably upon annexation because it will put an end to contract labor for the plantations. He appears disposed to lend his immense financial influence in support of the new scheme. Mr. Spreckels is commonly spoken of in Honolulu as the most dangerous enemy which the cause ol annexation has encountered since the days of January. It is possible that his opposition has been exaggerated. He in.iv not yet have definitely adopted his policy of action. His movements mayhe merely tentative. 'That the outlook in that direction for good and stable government is an utterly lopeless one, we think to be the general sentiment of the intelligent body of our citizens who overthrew the monarchy. Their painful experience of the defects in the character of our voting constituencies las been so severe and continued as to destroy their confidence in the success of republican government not supported influence of the United States. Such a government would need to derive its authority from some very permanent and impregnable source of strength in order to hold in subjection the Asiatic elements constituting onehalf of the adult male population. They might clamor for a voting franchise for which they would be absolutely unfit. Japan has already initiated demands o* that sort in behalf of their subjects in Hawaii.. Some kind of Oligarchical Republic has been suggested a thing foreign to the genius of our citizens, and repulsive to their thought, save as a brief and temporary necessity. A peculiar form of oligarchy or perhaps autocracy seems to have been suggested in a replymade to objections as to the incompetency of the people for the conduct of an independent republic, "Oh, you knownothing of politics here!" A shrewd handler of "practical politics," such as might be imported from California, could possibly "boss" the whole concern, and run a Hawaiian Legislature to the satis faction of the Autocrat ami bis lieutenants. Is this the sort of Republic kindly proposed for Hawaii ? How much better would such rule be, and how much more would our civilization prosper under it, than what we have just overthrown ? Such are the issues agitating us in these days. Anglican Church Troubles. Our greatly esteemed brethren of the Anglican Church are having more than the ordinary share of internal troubles, which we trust they will be enabled worthily to endure and to deal with. For many years the great majority of the Honolulu membership of that church have seriously differed from their Bishop in respect to the conduct of public worship as well as other matters. In consequence they formed what has been known as the Second Congregation, which worshipped formerly under the ministry of Mr. Wallace, and latterly under that of Mr. Mackintosh. The First Congregation who continue under the personal ministrations of the Bishop and bis assistants, are few in numbers. They have nevertheless enjoySd precedence in the choice of their hours of worship in the Cathedral. The Second Congregation have been compelled by the Bishop to use somewhat inconvenient hours for their services at the same place, notwithstanding the fact that they of erecting the costly edifice. They have nevertheless prospered and increased, while it has been cpnte othei wise with the Bishop's congregation. Displeased with this state of things, his Lordship now pronounces this divis ion of the two Congregations occupying the same House to be schismatic and scandalous, and orders the Second Con gregation to unite with the First under the Bishop's presidency, or else to retire from the Cathedral, anil find othei quarters. 'The Second Congregation have met and vigorously protested, with energetic condemnation of the Bishop's course. 'The situation exhibits severe tension. There is a good display of English determination on both sides. We do not know what appeal or means of redress there is from the supreme Episcopal authority. We believe that memorials of some kind have been sent to the Arch bishop of Canterbury and to the Society lor the Propagation of the Gospel, who sent the Anglican Mission to Hawaii m 1803, and who still have some directing power. Meantime we of the older churches in Hawaii are on-lookers with the fiicndli We hardly believe that est regard. this collision is a fair sample of the ordinary working of the "Historic Episcopate." as directed by the usual sturdy Yet as it English common sense. was under the yoke of that Episcopate that the Lambeth) Bishops implored all dissenting Christians to bow their necks as the indispensable condition of that Christian Union for which the Bishops so ardently longed, we cannot but feel somewhat personally interested in the present working of the system. Foi ourselves we feel inclined to wait and see how our good brethren conn: out before we think about getting under then yoke. Meantime we heartily pray that they may receive abunda, t grace from on high to guide and fortify them in wisdom and patience. The March Rainfall was light in Honolulu, varying from oneto two inches in different sections of the lowei town, but reaching ten inches and upwards in Xuuanu Valley. In Hilo and Hamakua, it varied from seven to twenty inches. Thirty inches recoided at Olaa. Kona received from 2 to 3 inches. Believers should not have a slavish dread of death ; where is the infant that fears to go to sleep in his nurse's arms ? �THE 36 Thy Kingdom Come. All who beai the Christian name, are taught this petition from infancy. All who are loyal to Heaven, pray from the heart that God may come to rule on earth without any opposition, and with perfect sway. All enlightened Chris tians believe that this happy condition of the world will come to pass through the complete and loving submission of mankind to the Lord Jesus Christ, (iod's Son anil Delegate to Faith. Every thoughtful Christian must therefore love to watch and observe the signs of the progress ol Christ's supi em acy over the hearts and lives of men. Whatever seems to forward that pro gress is a joy to him. Whatever bin tiers or subverts righteousness and enlightenment in any part of the world, is a grief to him, because it undoes the work of Christ. It is in this interest ol the advancing reign of Christ that the progress of liberty anil just government is intensely interesting to earnest and loyal Christians. Free and righteous Civil Government is the harbinger of the Reign of the Lord. It prepares the way for Him. It trains and teaches men to live along the lines ol benevolence and public spirit and active helpfulness, and personal support of right laws and right living, which must be characteristic of the reign of Christ. For that reign and Dominion of the Lord will be complete when all men have learned spontaneously and with order to work together for the common welfare, and for the suppression of everything injurious. For this reason every enlightened loyal disciple of Christ naturally gravitate* to an ardent support of all progress in Civil Liberty and Just Government. They prepare the way for the coming triumph of the Lord. We hate corruption in public affairs because it stands right across His way. We rejoice to see decayed and antiquated systems of bail government give place to higher and better forms, because those prepare men for nobler living, and so for following Christ. We watch with gladness the progress and growth of great enlightened nations, because with them run the hopes of the world for light and freedom and Christ. In this Higher Politics it is natural for Christian men to be deeply interested. They cannot be indifferent, nor inert. Their piety, their loyalty, tbeii benevolence, their hope, all move them to take an active part. Of course they may greatly err as to the road to liberty and righteous government. 'They may greatly differ as to the means to heemployed. And yet there are times when Right is so clearly arrayed against Wrong, and Light against Darkness that there seems no room to doubt. 11 [May, FRIEND. Mr. F. M. Hatch of Honolulu, in a porter's interview in San Francisco, — slated our case well, as follows: "This movement represents the verybest element in the population of the islands. It is not a missionaries' move inent or a planters' movement, nor one beaded by malcontents. [| is a move ment of the conservative, practical, commercial element ofthe entire country. Annexation is an absolute necessity to the further advancement of the country, and the Provisional Government will never recede from its present position unless compelled to do so by force of arms something which we do not an- ticipate. BlCHow unJta.eml s as born Sept. I I S:l7, and is of about the same age as (ien. Armstrong, S.T. Alexander, Marshal Hitchcock, Chief justice Judd, and Judge F. Lyman, among our will known Hawaiian*. He fought bravely on the Confederate side in the Civil War. He has served in ten successive terms, from Georgia, in the U S. Congress. Col. Blount is stoutly built, with blueeyes, gray hair, and the strong solid chin expressive of determination. He is clean shaven, keen but kindly in look, and deliberate in speech, with a highly developed gift of saying no more than he chooses to say, and saying that very clearly. Among the many likenesses published of him the only one we have seen conveying his habitual expression is a small one in the Illustrated American of April Ist. Mr. Blount has carefully questioned a large number of our citizens, some of them for hours together, their replies being carefully recorded. His questions are searching, but discriminating, evincing an honest pursuit of the truth, and Conveying a sense of the absence of prejudice. His manner is such as to inspire confidence, and to beget a very strong and cordial regard for himself, with an assurance that truth and j- stice will be vindicated by his laborious and diligent investigations. I', Col. Claus Spreckels is weighing the pros and Cona for annexation. He seems to incline strongly towards a Republic, under a Protectorate. 'This he would prefer as permitting farther im portation of Asiatic contract laborers to work on the Sugar Plantations. Vet he is not prepared to say that annexation may not be necessary in Older to secure stability of Government. The Dredger has deepened the bottom adjacent to the P. If. S.

Annual Reports. Tee Y. M. C. Review (quarterly) con the annual reports of the As. soc iation is received. It begins with the following list of officers: C. II Riplye, President; W. C. Weedon, Vice President-, (i. 11. I'.ibb, Recording Stcreiary; F. A. Jones, Treasurer; 11. \V. Pick, General taining Secretary. 'Then follows an excellent address from the reining President J. 11. Atherlon. Next is the report ol the General Secretary. We nte as items, that the ex| enditure has been diminished by $,?bo from the previous year, although newwork has been taken up The attendance on religious services had increased. There air 130 active and 65 associate members. The Treasurer reports $,$,0.17.15 ol income and $3,061.88 of expenditure. In the Devotional Work is reported a long list of meetings in thirteen classes, »fs3 m all during the year, with an aggregate attendance of 13,33a. The various other committees show a large amount of active and useful labor, proving the Y. M. (.'. A. to be one of the most effective of our agencies of Christian work. The ex-Queen's messengers to Wash Mr. Paul Neumann, and Prince David Kawananakoa, together with Mr. !•'.. C. Macfailane, returned to Honolulu April 7th. The Royalist natives turned out in great force to give them an oV.ition for having succeeded in creating sentiment in America adverse to annexation. 'Their arrival was attended with the prevalence of positive statements among the natives that Mr. Blount had orders to replace the Queen upon the throne, and that be was about to do so immediately. This excited condition of the Hawaiian mind continued for nearly two weeks. These absurd reports seem to have been employed by the royalists in order to deter the natives from enrolling themselves on the Annexation lists, as 'hey hud hegun largely to do. This effect of intimidation was secured in Honolulu for a while. Meantime the friends of the government, irritated by the violent language of the enemy, began to denounce the royalist plotting in terms that created much alarm to the ex Queen and her partisans. A quite efficient damper was adminis tired to these false hopes by Commissioner Blount's reply on the 18th, to the "Women's Patriotic League," to the effect that be was not empowered to restore the Cjueen, as they were peti tioning him to do. ington, �Vol. 51, No. 5.] Wholesale Poisoning of Governthe ks. evening of S oinii On ment April llth, about two hours after their supper, about thirty of the company of enlisted men at the 1 iai racks were taken more or less violently ill with vomiting and purging, exhibiting the symptoms ol having eaten some irritant poison. An ecpial number of Company A, ol the Volunteers were similarly attacked. These men were stationed at the Govern mint House. 'They bad eaten supper at the Barracks. An examination of such remains ol food as were obtainable, by the Government Chemist, disclosed no poison. It may have been a poison naturally generated in the food ; or it may have been some Vegetable poison not answering to known tests. No facts have transpired to justify a belief that the poisoning was intentional or malicious. We regard the following from an editorial in the P. C. Advertiser as cor rcctly expressing the expectation and purpose of the white annexationists, respecting the voting franchises of Hawaiians: "The fact,however, that the I tawaiians are imperfectly qualified for the arduous work of government, does not mean that they are to be excluded from political privileges, and are to have no further voice in the affairs of their native country. Annexation is not intended as a means of depriving them of then political rights. It will simply put beyond their power to threaten or destroy two things—the stability of the government and the civil liberty of the citizen. Annexation is, in ire than anything else, an attempt to secure these two things. Thi attempt to maintain them under the monarchy has been a long failure, and it will never be tried in this country again. "The precise form of Hawaii's government under annexation is a matter for the future to decide. The principles which have shaped American polity for a hundred years will not be abandoned. 'There will be no class legislation, and no color line. There will be a franchise, and the Hawaiians will be admitted to it. — E The x-Queen, Liliuokalani, has never been member of any church, although more or less habitual attendant at the Kawaiahao Church, and as we believe a stated contributor to its support of public worship there. Her persistent fidelity to her early church associations is to her credit, notwithstanding any obstacles which may have existed to her seeking or obtaining mem bership in the church. 'The missionaries were always exacting on that subject. a a THE FRIEND. Tin-: Anti-Annkxation Movement appears to be chiefly active among th e natives in Honolulu. It has been largely Stimulated by the falsehoods industriously propagated that the natives were to be deprived of all civil rights as well as ol political privileges. This absurd imprcs sion has now been mostly dispelled, and the natives appear to be very extensively enrolling themselves as in favor ol annexation. The Japanese convict murderer who took refuge March 10th on the Japanese cruiser Naniwa, was by order of the Mikado's government, returned to the shore, April 20th, where the police took him in charge-. 'This will doubtless beget in the minels of our Japanese population a needed respect for the Provisional Government. The other convicts will now he relieved from the special restrictions made necessary by the Noniwa's course.

Causes of Decrease of the Maories 'The New Zealand census of 1891 shows the Maori population of nearly 13,000, to have continued stationary since IMSO. The pure blood Maories however, are decreasing. The tendency to decrease, which is shown especially by the comparative paucity of children, is attributed by the Very able Government Report to the following causes: "An excessive infant mortality caused by improper food, exposure, want of ordinary care and cleanliness ; the constitutions of the parents debilitated by past debauchery the practice of placing their sick in the hands eif the native doctor or Tohunga, instead of applying to the medical officer; etc., etc. 'These causes of mortality are among those enumerated in S. R. Bishop's Kssav, 'Why the Hawaiians are dying out." Under the deplorable growth of superstition in Hawaii during the late years ol royal fostering, probably the work of the Kahunas has become the most destructive of all the agencies Cooperating to decimate the Hawaiian people. : The Lord will not be unkind to those who ask, since be offers bmisell voluntarily to those who ask not.

I This psSJS is deeoleil to the interests of the Hawaiian Hoard of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Hoard is resp msilile for its i onuiils. Rev. O. I Emerson, - Editor. Now is an extra good time to give to the Hawaiian Hoard, for several reasons: Ist, the books for the year close with the IfcHh inst.; 2nd, they will have to close with a deficit (see Treasurer's report elsewhere) unless Sufficient funds come in ; Sft), our anxiety is not so niueh for the closing of the hooks as for the opening of ■ debit account for the meeting of the neetls of our Workmen in the held ; Ith, anxiety for the peace of milld of the Treasurer also prompts US to speak. Tlie financial problem he is now at work on is too hard a one for him to solve without aid. If the subjoined extracts from the late Mission Reports are true, the course ol the (lospel in Micronesia as was that ol tin: Morning Star during its last trip would seem to be beset with serious obstacles. As if the struggle with the heathen powers were not enough, there is added this opposition to Gospel truth which works from tho centers of civilization, ami is wrought by the hands of those whose craft is made safe and remunerative by the very presence of the missionaries whom they oppose. The missionary may tame the savage a little so that the trailer can use him profitably and without danger to himself. But after that kind of rough work is done he has no further use for the missionary. Verily between the devil anil the deep sea it does seem as if our good captain, missionaries anil all have a hard time of it. From Rev. J. M. Channon's Report. Nam, or Pleasant Island.- The work this island is in a critical condition owing to the attitude of the German The Governor taboos authorities. church building until he is asked by the people independently of the teachers, which the chiefs take as an insult. This year the Governor informed me that we had no title to our churches and buildings and mission grounds, and that our teachers were holding their stations only by courtesy of the German government, and that on their leaving the island at any time they would not he allowed to return, nor would I be permitted to land a new teacher in their place or at any new station. It is already time that one at least of the men teachers had a vacation or was transferred to another island. The Governor has also forbidden the Ofl [May, 1893. THE FRIEND. 40 teachers' wives helping in the schools' also the teachers from preaching in other villages than their own. If, therefore, no concession can he gained from the commissioner at Jaluij, it is only a question of a year or two at most before we shall have to abandon the work in the island entirely. At Butaritari, the next island visited. we found the work in good condition, but in great need of teachers. Maka, the faithful Hawaiian veteran was at his post, hut his wife was in a bad condition being paralysed in all the muscles of he r body. in so helpless a condition that she was unable to undertake the long voyage to Honolulu. The king of this island is a Christian and has just returned from America. He was very anxious that his people should he taught and asked for several teachers. There is only one teacher for SOOO people. Strict temperance laws are enforced over the natives, but the white foreigners keep an open saloon in defiance. The king has asked the English who have assumed a pro tectorate, to help close the saloon. The Captain of the English man of-war said he might tax it; perhaps the saloon can not afford to pay taxes and so will be closed. At Miikin we found the work in a prosperous condition. At Marakei we found Rev. Kanoho (a Hawaiian missionary) holding the fort against the heathen element. Satan is very strung a iffI there is much darkness on the island. Kanoho has been busy and faithful during the year, but he needs help anil rest. His wife is paralyzed also, but only on one sitle. Tarawa. For more than a year this island has been suffering from war. Last year Mr. VValkupdestroyed '.Ml guns, and the chiefs promised to keep the peace, hut after Mr. Walkup left, they again went to killing one another. The British man-of-war came later and destroyed more guns, anil since then there has been no fighting, but on landing I hear rumors ol war. All the cocoanuts have been tabooed and are brought to the trailer to paydebts, and during the war a great manytrees were cut down so that Rev. Terooi has had a hard time during the year past, even to get enough to eat. Maiana. As we go southward through the group, the heathenism increases and we appreciate more fully the results of missionary work which was begun in the northern portion, and has always been prosecuted more vigorously there. Lotto has a good school this year and has sent out two from it as teachers to other parts of the islands. Nonouti. —All the teachers at Nonouti have stood linn and kept their schools well. A good evangelist preacher is very much needed in this island. I hope that a Hawaiian missionary can he sent here. Tapiteuea.—Schools are small here. Rev. Z. Paaluhi is gradually gaining a second start. Rev. Kaaia's church is in good condition, but he has no steady school. The natives here are busy dancing as of old. From Capt. Garland's Report. August Ist, I 5.1.!, at 6 p.m., while steaming in a calm, a large steel pin holding the high pressure rocker to the frame of the engine broke. Having no steel for re-paiis we steered For l'oliapc 80 miles-distant. I tried to enter the harbor at the Spanish colony, hut head winds prevented, so anchored in Kiti harbor August 4th. The same day I sent tin engineer with a letter to the governor slating that my ship was in distreßS and asking il lie could let me have materials for repairs. He was very angry because I did not bring the ship into harbor at the colony, ami while he allowed the engineer to. look for steel on the ships in port, he detained him over and called his officers togetlli I one night for consultation. At first lie intended to send a transport after me and tow IhcStar to the colony, but finally sent me the letter which I enclose. Of couise 1 had to make to the colony 15 miles in my boat. I expected hot times. This man l-'lanih / is simply acting govt nun in place ol one who resigned several months ago. He proved to be it ''lamb" a-ftel all. 11l a very few minutes 1 convinced him and the justice that I was neither a pirate nor ii smuggle r, and not even in league with the natives, lit was gentlemanly from the lirst, and I,'although exaapel alid by his letter, tried to be the saint-. There was much red tape to be measured off. 1 had to go before the naval com ill,mile r and answel questions liom a book offorms for two hours. My .ins we is were wi itten down and I signed them. We were delayed by them three days and we could get nothing for repairs. Aniveil itt Kusaic the second time Aug. 19th, and sailed the 24th for the: Marshall Islands with Dr. Pease and family, and Miss Little, and Marshall giils, as passengers, IB in all. At times we- had 80 passengers on board which is unusual in this group. We now dug up the shaft of the old Morning Star's capstan, which was under the coal for ballast. The lathe was put in order and was put to uselul employ ment for the lirst time since leaving Boston in I*B4. A pin was turned out of the capstan shaft and finished Aug. ■>'.). The lathe is run by foot power and we are much indebted to the Marshall School bins, for their help ;ind also later on to the Gilbert School boys. Sept. 15: the new pin made by the engineers broke after running 6}<j days. In two days they had a new one finished and ready for use. Oct. $1, the circulating pump broke down, leaving us again without Steam. Repairs were finished Nov. meantime r (, ) days) we made M miles in a direction ., �THE FRIEND. about a right angle to our desired course. Six times after this that pump gave out once while the ship was in Apaiang channel. At one time daring the Gilbert Island trip, things looked quite serious for us, not only because we could not steam, but because we could not, withoutthe pump, use the condenser for making fresh water. There had been no rain in the group for nine months and there is no good water on the islands. I'he traders could not sell us any he cause their tanks were dry and we had We but 400 gallons for 7<» people. have never before been so short of witter. It is plain enough that the Germans are trying 10 drive the American mis sionariea from the Marshall Islands. at They do not want anybody or thing there which will in any way hinder their money making. They have no use for us. It is the same on Pleasant Island which is under their protection. No new teacher can be landed there. The two who are there can only preach, each in his own church. They cannot exchange or go to any other part of the island to preach or to teach. Their wives are not allowed to teach or help in the work. If they leave the island they forfeit the right to come back, so says the governor. The traders do not want the natives enlightened, at least by Americans. They get too many independent ideas. It is said, and I believe it, that the leading linn on Jaluit pay the expense of the government in the islands, excepting The expense of the ships of war. They in turn squeeze it out of the natives in tiixes. It takes the natives now about nine months of the year to pay their t;txes. It is it shame the Germans cannot make it right to come in and force the natives to support them. Protection! the word has lost its meaning in this case. And now the new commissioner hits shown bis hand by arresting two of our newly placed teachers and taking them to Jaluit, because, its he says, the government was not notified. I cannot say that Dr. Pease made a format declaration of hii intention to occupy new islands, but the commissioner knew it, for 1 heard Dr. Pease tell bun so in his office. These arretted teachers were charged so much a day for their fare on German vessels after being taken from their islands. They cannot pay the bill, and I have no doubt but that it will be presented either to Dr. Pease or myself when we next go there. There is nothing right or just about it, and I shall not pay them a cent on such a bill unless I receive instructions beforehand from the Board to do so. So what will you have me do in such a case ? The Germans are after us in a more dogged manner than are the Spanish. It is not improbable that by our next trip they will prohibit our taking scholars away from the protectorate to a foreign land, i.e., to Kusaie (where the school is). That would seem to settle the Marshall Island question for missionary work. Bishop Willis on Missionaries' Sons. II ,1.111 tl.e I'arifu: I ..inmereial Advertiser.] Mk. Hon ok:—In his rejoinder to my article in Till PtIKND, Bishop Willis disclaims reference to the lather missionaries, in his charge of having for fifty years past plotted the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. I will indulge in no question of the worthy Bishop's veracity. Unless more light conies, Tin-: I ; kii-:ni> will credit him with the disclaimer. His language, however, would seem to have been ill-adapted to convey the sense winch he now puts upon it. There is not space to quote all that bears upon the point. The curious can read it for themselves. One thing, no missionaries' sons were in Hawaii nei "fifty years" ago, save a very few growing bids, not very likely to be plotting against the King. Again, he compares us to Simeon and Levi, who conquered Shechem under the cloak of religion. Our fathers might conceivably have done so base an act, but we sons do not seem to have got our footing here by means of any such conspiracy. For myself, I arrived here without any plan of my own, to the extent of my recollec tion. If 1 wits guilty of any conspiracy in getting into the country at the early age when I ai rived, I assure my friend the Bishop, that I have forgotten it. As natives of the country, we recognize our obligations as citizens to cooperate in securing good government, and resisting lawless tynanny, like the bite attempt of the Queen. The Bishop seems to be devoid of any sense ol the unspeakable pollutions of the late dynasty, for all which he employs the line phrase, "a failure to attain a certain ideal of perfection.'' There lies before me its a sample of that dynasty, a certain notorious coronation hula programme which successfully attained an ideally perfect mistiness. The Bishop ends by saying that "according to the Rev. S. I-,. Bishop the course to be pursued in such a case (of missionaries unsuccessful in their labors) is to send for foreign troops with guns and bayonets, overthrow the government, and place the land under their own national flag." I notice this only because it re-asserts a persistent falsehood of the royalist party, i.e., that the United State forces lent aid to those who displaced the Queen's government. Those forces were strictly neutral throughout the whole affair. They were landed, 150 men in all, by the order of the American Minister, solely for the protection of life and property against public disorder. It was done at the request of the Committee of Public Safety, but strictly in accordance with the standing instructions of President Cleveland's Secretary of State, Thomas Y. Bayard, now Minister to Kngland, to the then American Minister Merrill. Those instructions are dated July 12, 1887, and read as follows : ••While we abstain f,utii interference with the domestic affairs of Hawaii, in accordance with the policy and practice of this government, yet obstructions to the channels of legitimate commerce, under existing treaty must not be allowed, and American citizens in Honolulu must be protected in their persons and property by the representatives of their country s law and power, and no internal discord must be suffered to impair them. Your own aid and counsel, as well as the assistance of our Government vessels, if found necessary, will therefore be promptly afforded to protect the reign of law and respect for the orderly government of Hawaii." In accordance with those standing instructions the American forces were landed. They remained absolutely neutral throughout the whole proceedings. So far from their supposing that those forces were to assist the Provisioal Government to get possession of power, the Queen's ministers asked Mi. Stevens, as late as 9 p.m. on the 17th, to use those forces in aid of the Queen, which he refused to do. It is wholly untrue that the I'. S. forces took any part in gaming the result. or that any ground was given for expecting that they would do so. The Queen's forces were simply paralysed by their own lack of organization, and by the panic produced by the determined mass meeting of citizens the day before. When the head of the Anglican Church —no doubt ignorant!}' re-issues this hard-worked royalist falsehood, it is quite time for somebody to nail it down to the plank. One of the useful services which the visit of U. S. Commissioner Blount may be expected to render, will be to set such untruths finally at rest. S. I-;. Bishop, Honolulu, April Bth, 1803. - We have to add to the above, that several fiiends who read the Bishop's language in the Diocesan Magazine, assure us that they understood it as we did, to charge the alleged plotting upon the father missionaries as well as then sons. In construing, his language bowever, it is necessary to bear in mind that his ideas of both ecclessiastica! and civil polity belong to the age of Laud and Strafford, when Kings and Bishops reigned by Divine and Absolute right, and all opposition to them was treason against God. Dr. Willis is doubtless sinceie, although he gets confused in his efforts to adjust obsolete notions to modern fact. The watchful Christian is one who would not be over-surprised if he found Christ coming at once; he would not have something to do first, something to get ready. �THP; FRIEND. Kii.al'ea, by latest advices, is approach ing a condition of unusual display, and of accessibility for visitors. The lake has risen to within perhaps 120 feet of the rim of Halemaumau pit. Visitors habitually descend to the running lava, pouring from the frequent overflows of the great lire-lake of ten acres of area, with its tremendous fountains. A new and very satisfactory feature is the excellent horse trail lately made over the lava, so that for two dollars, visitors are enable to ride most confortahly the entire three miles from the hotel to the brink of Halemaumau and hack, thus saving a severe outlay of strength.
