Elsewhere in this issue is an appeal about the need of preaching upon the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. We be lieve that the lack of this blessed Divine (lift is the great lack of the most enlight ened and favored Gospel denominations, as truly, though in less degree of deficiency as in the old tinreformed churches. Our churches have some experience of this Gift from time to time. Individ ual Christians among them here and there are found, who live in the habitual experience of "Joy in the Holy Ghost," and in His inward divine communion. Hut it is the unworthy and unhappy experience of the vast majority of Christians that they conduct their daily lives so badly that they manage to hinder the communing of the Holy Spirit with their souls. They do not earnestly obey His gentle promptings. They do not gladly, lovingly seek to hear His sweet voice in their hearts. They do not keep listening affectionately to His wise and tender whisperings. So they "grieve" the Holy Spirit, as one grieves and silences a loving friend and comrade by not lending to him an attentive ear and a complying disposition. Mr. Bristol asks, "why do not Ministers preach about it ?" Every word we have written above carries deep pain with it to the writer, in the consciousness of having daily done the same thing that is condemned. It is not easy or natural for one to preach to others a high practice of holy living and divine communing which is not in a good degree a part of his own habitual experience. Hut no less is it a clear and undoubting conviction, begotten of occasional personal experience, that there is a high plane of glorious lite and joy in (iod, in which it is permitted to every Christian believer to live, who has the resolution and self renouncing to follow the Lord closely. Another thing, it is a difficult and delicate task to call on Christians to come up on that high plane of spiritual living, when they are with few excep turns, living together upon a lower and Comparatively unhappy plane, and taking it as a matter of course to do so. It seems about tliconly effective thing a pas tor can do in this regard, to learn himself to be a very joyful and very single hearted practiser of this thing, privately also leading some select spirits in the same good way, and by this personal example drawing as many as possible into the I ligher Life of the Spirit. It would seem to be impossible for any one to have this joy of communion with the Holy Spirit whose heart is in any way set upon lucre, or social distinction, or sense-pleasure, or any earthly aim, so as not to hold every desire of the kind ready to be instantly set aside at God's call. The Spirit's sweet ministrations ate most apt to come in power, after one has obeyed some call of the Blessed Friend, and put away some thing much desired, for His sake. Christ's people here in Hawaii, as distinctly as at any advanced post of His kingdom in this world, are called on to equip themselves fully for the great work we have to do, the contest to wage, the light to uphold, the dark souls to illumine. Shall we not then gird ourselves up to our glorious task by inviting and cherishing the Divine Presence within our souls ? Of what worth are all these lower objects the 73 The Friend. NuMHKR 10. multitude are straining after, in comparison with the deep and living inward joy of being in full fellowship with the Divine in all our work and all our thinkHut few can get large ing and feeling ? possession of the good things of this life. Everyone who wills it heartily, can get his soul filled with God's presence, and so with heavenly gladness, such as makes other joys poor and trivial. HAWAII STILL WAITING. We are still without a declaration of President Cleveland's policy on the Hawaiian question. Of the views entertained by Secretary Gresham and Mr. Blount, we suppose that we have a somewhat definite idea in the main though not in detail. The scheme arrived at by these high officials in probably as follows: To establish a Protectorate over Hawaii, strong against external interference. Hut little interference with internal conduct of the government. The Provisional Government to be guaranteed againstt internal disorder? until such time as a Republican form of government can be organized with such restrictions upon suffrage as will ensure capable administration of the government; and such new government also to be guaranteed as before. This is the general outline, as we think is reliably ascertained. It hardly need be said that no revival of the native monarchy is for a moment thought of by the Washington statesmen, nor any such extension of suffrage as would admit the incapable classes to participation in government. Of course such a scheme as the above has to be approved by the President and Senate on one side and by the existing Hawaiian Government on the other. The latter would probably accede to any reasonable plan like the above, although believing Annexation as a Territory to be far more in the interest of both countries. We have no reason to suppose that the President would oppose. We trust that the Hawaiian Problem is nearing a solution which will afford a tolerable modum vivendi, and good and stable government. We believe that in His own good time, the Lord will bring Hawaii out into a large place. �Some Reply. to Mr. Davies. We regret to feel it necessary to make The Friknd so largely a medium of political controversy, but find it unavoidable. It now seems necessary to take up an "open letter" of Mr. Theophilus H. Davies, of date in England, August 26th, in which he applies much castiga tion to our friends and ourselves. We do not propose to follow him into all his positions, leaving the refutation of much of those to the secular journals. Some thing seems necessary to be said, however, in defense of the political attitude of ourselves and our Christian brethren which Mr. Oavies so severely impugns, with a high tone of superiority and much misapplication of Scripture. We would thank our friend, however, for so emphatically advertising as he has done, the very weighty and significant fact, that the whole body of Evangelical Protestant Christians in these Islands are practically a unit against the native monarchy and for annexation. It seems to us that the weight of character of our body, and our unanimity of opinion should have rendered him more modest in sitting in judgment upon us, notwithstanding his eminent success in commercial pursuits. We are glad to acknowledge that Mr. Davies abstains from imputing to us wrong motives. In the same spirit we credit him with honest intentions, and with no doubt a sense of chivalry as well as of duty in doing battle for the supposed right of his ward the Princess Kaiulani. His responsibilities to her seem to us to have clouded his judgment as to the merits of the cause of Royalty in Hawaii —a cause which his moral instincts would otherwise have shown him to be a most pernicious one, and his business judgment a most impracticable one. His language in the following paragraph does honor to his right feeling: I hope no one will think that I under-rate the problems of corruption and perplexity with which the leaders at Honolulu had and have to deal. I am aware that they have on the side of annexation a large portion of the intelligence, energy and integrity of foreigners, and that many of the men whose action I feel bound to criticize so severely have been impelled as they thought by high principles and self-sacrificing motives. But good intentions cannot make up for erratic actions or for mistaken judg- " ment." To go right to the heart of the charge which Mr. Davies makes against us, the onus of his accusation is that we are conniving at offering to the United States "a stolen kingdom." This term he quotes from the New York Times. It means that the sovereignty of Hawaii which is tendered to the United States is not offered with the consent of a majority of the people of Hawaii, and that it is robbery of that people to convey what belongs to them without their [October, THE FRIEND. 74 The language of the Times article, which Mr. Davies seems to adopt, is an application of Democratic principles belonging to the mature and self governing American people, to the very different people of Hawaii. "From the people only are all just powers of "Title government to be derived." must be shown in the consent of the consent. governed." Mr. Davies certainly does not recognize the application of this extreme democratic principle to the subjects of British dominion. He knows that a vote of the people of Ireland would promptly throw off British sovereignty. England's 250 millions of subjects in India were never asked their consent, never would have given it, and would now unanimously reject England's beneficent rule. The consent was asked of none of the peoples inhabiting the Territories successively annexed to the United States, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona. In every case, the mass of the people were intensely opposed to the measure, except in Texas where Americans had swarmed in and perhaps constituted a majority. Yet no one questions the righteousness of such annexation, and its immense beneficence is conspicuous. The sadly wasting Hawaiian people have proved incapable of even main taining their own existence. No people were ever in greater need of friendly care and guardianship. Gentle, pliable, warm-hearted, they are fast dying out through sensual vice, superstition, and persistent ignorance in spite of schooling, preaching and training. They are not in a condition to be consulted as to their political destiny. Politically they are only children. They are to be dealt with in statu pupillari. That is the position which they have really never emerged from even in political form. The native Hawaiians have never held Under missionary legislative control. influence, a representation was granted to the people in the Legislature by the King. He took good care to reserve to himself the appointment of half the Legislature, the Nobles. The Legislature was always kept under the control of the King, and the people never allowed to exercise a control for which they were totally unfit. The then King having proved fatally incapable of governing, in 1887 the foreigners wrested from him the appointment of the Nobles, and placed it in the hands of a special Electorate with a high property qualification. The common people were not entrusted with rule, any more than before, because in their childishness and general incapacity, they were totally unfit for such rule. The people of Hawaii, if by that term is meant the natives, never were consulted about great affairs, and never could be. The proposition to ask tht.ir opinion now is a preposterous one, and is 1893. not dictated by any desire for the public good. We hold that the affairs of any people can be usefully and safely directed only by that portion of them who have sufficient intelligence and character to decide and act. The itk.ss of the native people ate destitute of such qualifications. They are babes in character and intellect. The best of their intelligent and capable men, the Kauhanes, Deshas, losepas, Kaluas, are eager for annex ation, as the safe harbor and refuge from the troubled sea of internal and external political turmoil, and from the unspeakable corruption of the monarchy which they know by intimate and pain ful experience. It seems to us that the people of Hawaii are truly represented by those who hold in their hands all the commercial and material interests of the country, and who now control the government by virtue of character and capacity. Those people have the right to speak in the name of the people of Hawaii, as much as a captain of a ship speaks for his ship's company, or the general for his army, or the teacher for his school, or the father for his family. When such true and competent representatives of the Nation of Hawaii as this Provisional Government tender its sovereignty to the United States, to call that "stealing" and "robbery" is mere railing. Their action was dictated by the highest consideration and most benevolent wishes towards all concerned. To point out the beneficence and the necessity of the annexation of Hawaii to the United States would carry this article beyond due limits, and may safely be left to discussion by others. Dedication of the Damien Monument. [l-'ron. the Honolulu Diocesan Magazink.] Our readers are aware that severa month ago a beautiful monument to the memory of Father Damien was sent out from England, being the gift of the National Leprosy Fund Association, of which the Prince of Wales is honorary president. This monument has been erscted at Kalaupapa, a few minutes walk only from the landing, within the grounds of the Bishop Home, facing the public road leading through Kalaupapa to Kalawao. It is of Aberdeen granite, an ornamented shaft surmounted with a Maltese Cross, pierced at the intersection of the arms like the old Celtic crosses, springs from a solid pedestal of the same material highly polished, which stands on three steps, on the face of which is deeply cut and gilded the following inscription in English and Hawaiian : Joseph llamikn I)k Veuster Horn Sti Janlarv, 1840. Died 15 April, 1880. hath no man than this that a man ikiwn his like for his friends. monument is raised to his memokv by thb t'EOPI E OF ENGLAND. greater love lay Tana The presentation of this monument to �Vol. 51, No. 10.] the care of the Roman Catholic Church and its solemn dedication took place on September 11th, in the presence of a large assemblage of lepers, and a few who arrived that morning from Honolulu by the S. S. Hawaii. Among them were the Pis Ex Capt. J. A. King, Minister of the Interior, His Ex. W. O. Smith, Attorney-General and President of the Board of Health; Councilor |. Emmeluth, Dr. C. T. Rodgers, Secretary of the Councils, the Bishop of Honolulu and Mrs. Willis. At 4:30 p.m., the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Panopolis and Vicar Apostolic of the Hawaiian Islands in his Episcopal habit took his station in front of the monument, attended by the Rev. Father Wendelin, and two acolytes (leper boys) from Father Wendelin's Church, in scarlet cassocks and cottas, bearing incense and holy water, the Rev. Father Conrady of Kalawao being among the spectators. The ceremony commenced with the leper band playing "Nearer my God to thee." Mr. Edmund Stiles, under secretary of the Foreign office, as delegate of the President of the Provisional Government, then came forward and read an eloquent and touch ing address in English, which our readers have doubtless already perused in the daily papers, and then delivered to the natives the substance of the address in their own tongue. The Monument was then unveiled, and the Bishop of Panopolis replied in a few appropriate words, accepting the memorial in the name of the Catholic Mission, and begging Mr. .Stiles to convey his heartfelt thanks to H. R. H. the Prince of Wales and to the Hawaiian Government for their appreciation of the good deeds of the good Father Damien, with whom he was associated for the first five years of his missionary life, being present when on his knees he asked Bishop Maigret to grant him leave to spend his life to the consolation of the lepers on Molokai. He spoke in the same strain in Hawaiian. The Bishop then proceeded with the service, and wilh prayer, incense, and holy water duly solemnized the dedication of the monument erected to the memory of one, of whom, to quote the words of the Bishop, "as also of the Fathers and Sisters now living at the Settlement we can truly repeat the words engraved on the monument,—Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Nordhoff Flings a Boomerang. The following effort of Charles Nord- hoff in inventing accusations against "missionary children," is too ludicrous not to be noted in The Friend. There are several prominent and successful planters and agents among the sons ol former missionaries, perhaps one in twenty of the whole number connected THE FRIEND. with the sugar business. Mr. Nordhoff, however, identifies missionaries' sons as being the planters and charges upon them all the sins, real or alleged, of that enterprising and sometimes too grasping class of our citizens, of whom Claus Spreckels aims to be chief. In a letter of August 21st to the Herald he foolishly writes "Again, the census report for 1890, discussing the causes of loss of population in certain districts, remarks : 'The heaviest loss, both relatively and absolutely, is in Ka-u (Kah-oo). This is due partly to a consolidation of plantations, but chiefly to the policy of the planters in substituting Japanese with small or no families at all for Portuguese with wives and many children. "Now the 'planters' who are thus reported of, are largely the people who call themselves 'missionary children,' stockholders in sugar corporations." The "misleading" element in the above statement of Mr. Nordhoff, is that no missionary sons happen to have been interested in the Hilea and Hutchinson plantations in Kau, which are referred to. The funny part is that the owner of those plantations who consolidated them and fired out the Portuguese, was, so far from being a "missionary son,'' none other than the redoubtable Claus Spreckels himself who cooperated with Mr. Nordholf's labors against Annexation. This is about as awkwardly Rung a boomerang as ever a man shot himself with. The N. Y. Herald should employ some one to concoct lies about Hawaii who is less worn out in mind and body than poor Nordhoff. :— The Future Honolulu. Col. McArthur of the Troy Budget who visit us recently, sketches ourfuture, correctly we think, as follows : After that the Nicaragua canal shall be completed, the Pacific coast of the United States will have grown into a vast empire, there will be a wonderful development in the other islands and shores of the vast Pacific ocean, and speedily thereafter Honolulu will become the great stopping place for lines of steamers stretching out in converging rays like the spokes of a wheel in all directions marked by the compass, and then the City of the Isles will become a second Hongkong with a population in ten years after annexation to the United States of 10(1,000 inhabitants and many more after that. Honolulu is fated to a great future. There is no mistaking this tramp and trend of destiny. It is certainly coming. Honolulu will yet become a great winter resort, not only for the millions of people who will in- 75 habit the vast regions west of the Missisippi rivei on the American continent, but for other parts of the world. It will have advantages in climate, health and comfort with which other parts of the world are incomparable. Holy Cholera Well at Mecca. All Mohammedan pilgrim to Mecca ) the Jerusalem of Islam, their Holy City, are eager to drink and lave in the Holy well of Zem Z'\x\, which is in the heart of the city. They perform both operations simultaneously. Standing upon a flat stone over the well, each pilgrim has a bucket of the sacred fluid poured over him. He eagerly swallows all that he can catch of it, and the rest flows back into the well. E. Frankland writes to the London Times that he was received samples of the Zem Zin water through the India office and finds on analysing it, that it contains six times the amount of excrementitious matter that is contained in average London sewage. Col. Barchowsky Bey, consulting chemist to the Turkish government places the impurities of this water at a yet higher figure. He states that all filth in Mecca is buried in the earth and all the water that reaches this well has percolated through those masses of impurity. One tenth of all the pilgrims to Mecca die of cholera, and their companies spread it from that cholera center to all the surrounding countries. There is abundance of pure water in Mecca, but all pilgrims must partake of the Holy Well. A large part ofthe pilgrims are British subjects from India. British steamers are loaded with them. Yet England dares not place restrictions on this deadly pilgrimmage. Murderous Japanese Laborers. On the night of September Ist, the Japanese policeman at Ewa Plantation, named Okimoto Rinjiro, was called out of his room, when a mob of Japanese killed him by stabs and beating his head in with rocks. They had threatened his life for several days. His offense consisted in his activity in suppressing their gambling at night. Sixteen of the Japanese were arrested, eight of whom have since been released. 120 more declared themselves participants in the murder, and demanded also The same day they to be arrested. came up to town and repeated their demand at the Police Station, but were ordered to go back to their work. The repeated demands of Japan for her people here to share in the suffrage of the country, has naturally stirred up a disorderly and defiant disposition among some of them, which we are sure meets with no countenance from their officials. �76 The Board of Health at Kalawao. On the 11th inst., the members of the Board of Health spent the entire day at Kalawao. Other officials and visitors Their business accompanied them. and was general special inspection of Settlement, provision for the the Leper water supply and other needs, and es pecially settling about the conveyance to the Government, of all the kuleanas or land patches belonging to the old settlers of the place. Occasion was taken to unveil the Damien Monument. The Roman Catholic and Anglican Bishops were in attendance. We insert elsewhere the account of the ceremony as given by the latter. With the sentiments that inspired the erection of this monument we have the highest sympathy. Although our understanding of the facts as to Father Damien's peculiarities agrees with those stated by Dr. Hyde with no intent of publication, and with those subsequently published by Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson, the fact remains of his great devotion to the bodily relief of the lepers. His example has stimulated imitation by far more capable and qualified persons, in many leper retreats, and especially at Molokai. A prominent gentleman among that company of visitors stated to us that the lepers there were the jolliestset of natives he had seen anywhere. They are made extremely comfortable. All their necessities are well supplied. Their malady is a painless one, except as the vital organs are invaded in the latter stages. Medical treatment vastly mitigates the disease, although as yet it has failed to extirpate it. It is a great mercy to convey those suffering from this malady to any asylum where they can be doctored, fed and sheltered. THE FRIEND. The recent death of Mr. Richard Chute ol Minneapolis has been beard of with deep regret. During their visit in Honolulu last winter Mr. and Mrs. Chute made many warm friends. A warm tribute was paid to the memory of Mr. Chute by the Board of Trade of Minneapolis, of which he had been Pies ident at one time. Mr. Chute was an ardent sympathizer with the cause of the Annexation of Hawaii, and with all earnest Christian work. [October, Sweet Water of Pearl 1893. City. On the Government Road above the Pearl City Railway Station, is visible a large windmill which pumps water from the Artesian well that supplies the City Peninsula. From it also when the mountain supply fails are replenished the reservoirs of the upper town, the water being forced up by the windmill, and when necessary by a steam pump. On Sept. 7th, the Y. M. C.

A very spontaneous and enthusiastic movement arose in the American community to give expression to their earnest regard to the people of the ship be. fore they sailed. A reception and ball was decided upon. The Government lent the use of the Executive Building, the former Palace. Nearly $3,000 were promptly contributed for expenses. Although got up on very short notice, it was considered a great success, and said to be one of the most distinguished affairs of the kind ever held in Honolulu. About 1,000 guests are reported to have come and gone during the evening. Royalists generally declined their invitations, and hence few half whites were Admiral Skerrett and most present. of the officers of the three war-vessels attended. The sentiment prompting this tribute of regard to the Boston is one of esteem and gratitude for the faithful and watchful care with which their forces have guarded and protected our city during the past year. Also of high commendation for the admirable discipline and good behavoirof the men while on shore, especially during the two months when the American flag waved over us. But besides this is the affectionate regard of comradeship in the trying period of our Revolution. For although not permitted to take partisan action, we have been made aware that the most hearty sympathies of the people of the Boston have been strongly and unitedly with us, both during our preliminary struggles in the Legislature, and through the trying times since the deposition of the Queen. During the thirteen months of their stay we have always felt that they were the true friends of the right cause—and true Americans. No other American war-ship can gain a warmer place in the hearts of the people of Honolulu than the Boston. Departure of the Boston. This honored ship left our port for San Francisco on the afternoon of the 26th, clearing the spar buoy at 3:39 p.m.. No salutes were fired. The government tug Bleu escorted her to sea, with the Hawaiian band, and a large company of citizens and officials. The sailors of theBoston twice manned the rigging and returned three cheers in answer to those from the men of the Philadelphia on one side and of the Adams on the other. On the first occasion we were amused to see them at the third swing oftheir hats send them all. mittee, S'tOO have been applied to that purpose. The following note accompanied the supplies :— Honolulu, H. I. Sept. 38, 1893. To the Ship's Company, U. S. S. Boston : The citizens of Honolulu, bearing in mind your long sojourn in this port and the historical events that have made it memorable ; appreciating your services to the cause of good government during the American protectorate of 1893; and as a recognition of the manly conduct, self-respect and discipline which have marked your relations with the people of the Hawaiian Islands and youi service as a ship's company, beg you to receive wtih ever)- assurance of esteem ami friendship a contribution of food and delicacies herewith conveyed. May you have a pleasant voyage home, a future career as honorable as the past one and the privilege, should you return to these shores, of saluting the Stars and Stripes as the wave over the Hawaiian Capitol. With best wishes We remain Your Tin. Citizen's Committer. A Leper Kills and is Killed. A very sad tragedy has taken place in Ewa. A leper named Aikualani some five years ago shot and wounded an officer seeking to arrest him, and has since led an outlaw's life in the moun tains, in company with another leper. On the night of the 14th, he visited his house half a mile inland of the Ewa church, and fell into a furious quarrel with his wife. She seems to have been in a plot to arrest him, in which his rifle stock was broken. He shot her with the broken weapon, and in the early morning fired on other people and defied arrest by policemen sent down from the city. They got his children to leave the house, and a battle of two or three hours ensued in which the head officers were nearly grazed by the leper's shots. The thin boarding of the cottage was riddled, and the wretched leper shot in the head. He was utterly defiant and fought with maimed hands and broken rifle. Many joints of fingers and toes had crumbled with the disease. Aikua lani had been a school teacher. He and his wife were above the average natives in intelligence. The three children are interesting. They have relatives to care for them, but should be looked after by the authorities. It is most pitiful that this poor man should have regarded deportation to Molokai as such an evil, when he would only have enjoyed comfort there. 77 Fourteen lepers about the same date surrendered who had been hiding for years in Wainiha valley on Kauai in great poverty and misery. Three of them were too far gone to be brought away to Molokai. They had heard Irom the Kalalau lepers bow very comfortable they had been made, and were glad to seek the same relief. Notwithstanding these evils attending the policy of segregation, no one familiar with social conditions among Hawaii.ms can well doubt that failure to enforce that policy would result in a wide and rapid spread of the disease among not only natives but foreigners. When the story of the Worlds Fair is impartially written up we think it will appear that most of its troubles and losses have originated along the Midway Plaisance. The loudest clamor for Sunday opening was heard on that thoroughfare, and now it transpires, according to the New York Mail ami Express, that the effort of the directory to get the Clingman suit withdrawn or the injunction dissolved, is opposed solely at the expense of "concessionaires" who alone profit by open gates on Sunday. An open Sunday entails thousands of dollars of expense on the treasury, but it brings money into the coffers of Midway Satyrs, and they have raised $S,.'>UU to pa}' attorney's fees to keep up the fight. It is a case of poetic justice. The directors have themselves to blame for permitting heathen pimps to pander within an inclosure dedicated to an Exposition of four centuries of human progress. They are finding out that "He who lies down with dogs, gets up with fleas," and they will get small sympathy from the general public.— North Pacific Advocate. If all the grocers of your town were to leave some morning, you would want other grocers to come and fill their places at once. If your shoe dealers would leave, you would welcome others in their places. If your doctors, and preachers, and teachers would move away, it would be a loss to the town. Hut suppose all the saloon-keepers would leave. Would you be any worse off? Wouldn't you have a sober town? Wouldn't the money that went for liquor go to the grocer, the bntcher and the shoe dealer ? To say that saloons are a benefit to a town, either financially or morally, is the rankest kind of nonsense' and every honest man knows better. Outlook. — RECORD OF EVENTS. Sept.

All hour spent October Ist with our dear Chinese brothers and sisters at the Lord's Table, gave delightful impres-sions as to the good progress and prosperity existing in their Christian life. Ihe improvements in their Church edifice appear to be Completed. The well known old organ of Port Street Church is there still rolling out rich tones under Chinese hands, although it looks only half as large as it used to eyes accustomed to the great new organ in Central Union Church. A well trained choir of Chinese sang familiar times. Baptism was administered to seven young babes and one adult. With all honor to our Baptist brothers, we must tell it, that our hearts go out more Warmly to these little lambs everytime hands to holy sprinkling are laid upon them; and the more clearly do we feel that this is in accord with the heart and mind of the Lord. The Mission Schools connected with this Church have reopened for the year. One hundred and seventy scholars are in actual attendance in the well graded departments. Our brother, Mr. r, W. Damon, has every reason for gratitude, in the great success and progress of the work under his care and superintend ence. "Why Don't Ministers Preach About It?" REV.S BYBRISTOL. The topic of our Sunday School lesson of July 30th was the "Baptism of the Holy Ghost, or the Reception of the Spirit by Believers in Gospel Measures." During the discussion of the subject a lady in my Bible class, who had become deeply interested, earnestly put to nic the above question, "Why don't ministers preach about it?" What COUrd I Bay? What answer give? Could I truly say tin) don't believe there are these rich measures of the spirit within our reach? or, believing, have had no experience in that line, and so leel disqualified to preach about it to others? or, that having had experience and believing, they fear that in doing so they would expose themselves to the charge of innovation and singularity? Bret hi en, how could I answer the question? I pass it over to ynu. Will you, each of you, reading this article in The Pacific, take it home as a personal question? Why have I not preached to my people on this important gospel Ihcine? Won't YOU pray over it, and ask the Holy Ghost to show you if you have been at fault in this matter; il you have kept hack from your people an important part of Ihe counsel ol (iod? You have preached on water baptism, what it signifies, its importance as a Christian I ite, and how adults can become proper subjects of it. But there is the baptism of the Holy-Ghost. It is vastly more important than that of (Jul great High I'liest alone watei. administers it. "He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with lire.'' That he did so at the day of Pentecost, with Wonderful results, we all admit; also in days following in Jerusalem, in Samaria, at Casarea, in F.phesus, and elsewhere, wherever Paul and Peter and Philip, and their brethren, proclaimed the gospel of their risen Lord. Wonderful were the results ol that bap tism. What new men it made out of the apostles and their brethren; new in their personal living, and new in success and efficiency of labor. It will be admitted that the great change came from a baptism of the Holy Ghost, administered by the risen Christ. "If I go away I will send him to you." Peter saul of the risen Christ: "Having received ol the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he bath shed forth this which ye now see and hear.'' Brethren, does this great High Priest still exercise his office of baptising wih the Holy Ghost and with lire, or did he lay aside his robes and retire from his office when thd last of the apostles died and the Christian Church had become planted and established? "No, no!" I hear you say. Our Redeemer, as Paul said, "continueth forever, and hath an unchangeible priesthood," and the great and most prominent part of his work is "to baptize with the Holy Ghost." You fully believe he baptizes now; that many have received it and that all need it and might have it, would they seek it as they should and as divinely directed; that he is more willing to give the Holy Spirit than parents to give good and needful gifts to their children. Why, then, brethren, don't you preach about that great baptism, which wrought such wonders in the early Church? �[October, 1893.

Christian peace is unclouded azure in a lake of glass. It is the soul which Christ has specified, spread out in serenity and simple faith, and the Lord God, merciful and gracious, smiling over it. Hamilton. True peace is the blessing of the gospel. It may be sorted into these three: (1) Peace with (iod -peace of recon ciliation. (2) Peace with ourselves peace of conscience. (3) Peace with another—peace of love and unity, Giirmill. Every time a stone is thrown straight at the devil it is sure to hit some promi nent man square in the face.
