Before the beginning of the present year plans were partially matured for the early issuance of a Special Jubilee Supplement to The Friend, and particular contributions chiefly of a reminiscent character were solicited from certain individuals, and in some cases promised by them. Only one of these was actually written, and appeared in our September issue, on "Fifty Years of Hawaiian Commercial Development," by Thomas G. Thrum, a most instructive and valuable paper. The year proved to be one of intensely exciting political issues and events, absorbing all interests in their tram, and profoundly engrossing all minds. To enter upon reminiscences of the half century past was difficult, while the pressing issues of the present imperatively claimed attention and strenuous effort. To compare small to larger things, it would have been not more easy than for the N. Y. Independent in the year of Fort Anderson and Bull Run to have columns to reminiscences of the war of 1812. We have all been too keenly occupied in making actual history to care either for writing or reading the history of the past. Before completing the Fifty-first volume of The Friend, there will be appended to this number, two beautiful portraits provided by Mr. Frank W. Damon for the intended Jubilee Supplement, those of the founder and for forty years the editor of this paper, the excellent and beloved Rev. Samuel C. Damon D.D., and of his noble wife and coadjutor in work. These dear and venerated friends are still fresh in the memories of the people of Honolulu, and their speaking likenesses will be most welcome to the many who knew them with love and honor. The Friend may be called a monument to Dr. Damon's whole hearted zeal for his Lord and Master's work in the Pacific, as well as of his lively and unflagging enterprise, and of the practical wisdom and energy which made the paper a success. It was the forty years' impetus given by Father Damon's successful conduct of The Friend, which more than any other influence has inspired its continuance for the ten years since he' retired from its control. It is the oldest paper now published on Pacific Shores. We have reason to know that it continues to be precious to many Christian hearts. The Rev. Samuel C. Damon arrived in Honolulu as Seamen's Chaplain in 1842, and in the following January issued the first number of this paper under the title ol "Temperance Advacate." The title worked gradually around in two years into The Friend. The forty volumes issued by the eminent man who founded it, are a treasure house of Hawaiian and Polynesian history, besides recording the Christian work and prospects of each year. In this labor of her honored husband, as well as in all his labors, Mrs. Julia Mills Damon was a wise and active coadjutor. Her presence was one always felt as a strong power for good in this community to which she gave her life. It was a wise and gracious presence. Although she did not write for The Friend, she largely inspired it, and it owes a great portion of its character to her influence. We send forth these two attractive pictures to our readers as a little Jubilee memento which we believe they prize and preserve. 91 Number 12. NATIVE PASTORS AND CHURCHES. IMPENDING DISASTER TO The restoration of the queen threatened by Secretary Gresham would involve a variety of disastrous consequences. One of the most serious and most disgraceful would be its crushing effect upon nearly all of our best native pastors and upon the best class of Hawaiian Christians. Our native pastors of Protestant Churches are among the most intelligent and high minded class of natives. For a long period, they have been manfully contending against the overwhelming torrent of rrloral debanchery and heathen superstition proceeding from the royal court. Their hearts have been grieved and sore at the corrupting domination of the monarchy. When that deadly power, so imperious in its tyranny over the popular mind and will, was overthrown, the greater part of these good men rejoiced, and welcomed the establishment of honest government and pure influences. To some of them, race feeling and national prejudices made the change uowelcome, but the majority of the pastors are deeply in sympathy with the new government. The majority of their people are not so, because they are far less intelligent, and have been taught to regard this movement as a trampling on the inherent right of the native Hawaiian to be supreme in the government of his own country, however ignorant and incapable he may be of meeting the necessities of the grand civilization and immense production and commerce which have grown up in Hawaii, and in which the native has no part. Add to this influence the fact that a very large proportion of the Hawaiian people, through court influence for a whole generation, have reverted to superstition, and are slaves to their sorcerers and to the ltnvest forms of vice, and it is evident why their sympathies are so largely with a royalty of their own sort. During the eleven months of the new government the ex-queen's secret information from Washington of her intended restoration, has enabled her to maintain a powerful system of terrorism over her �92 former subjects, who have been conthreatened with speedily coming stantly punishment if disloyal to her cause. To illustrate the effect of this state of things upon the pastors, take the case of Rev. J. Waiamau, the pastor of the large Kaumakapili Church in Honolulu. Mr. Waiamau, as chaplain to the last Legislative Assembly, was brought into daily knowledge of the gross and unblushing corruption of the queen's party, and of the extreme baseness ofher political aims and methods. Besides this, through the impressive influence of the late lamented Rev. James Bicknell, Mr. Waiamau had become earnestly enlisted in the efforts of the latter to unite the native christians in the reformation of idolatrous practices and witchcraft. In consequence, the Kaumakapili pastor was in strong sympathy with the overthrow of the monarchy which had so long been his people. As the consequence, ,h.e has become an object of bitter hostility from a majority of his congregation. On the 26th nit., he was howled out of his pulpit by the royalist majority, who were emboldened by the news of the 34th that President Cleveland had ordered the restoration of the queen. Should that be accomplished, utter temporal ruin would not fail to be visited upon this pastor and all those of his people who had manifested sympathy with his views. The same would be the fate of Kauhane and losepa, the two native pastors in the last legislature, who there became thoroughly convinced of-the hopeless perversity of the queen,, and were converted to Annexation as tho best hope for stable and honest government, and for remedial influences, to check the present rapid decay of. their people. Several other leading pastors are in the same predicament, as well as large numbers of the best christian natives. It may be that a time of grievous trial is at hand forbur Hawaiian churches. But we believe that the gracious God, who has so often delivered Hawaii in extremity, will again interpose. It is not to be believed that the* American people will not effectually forbid the reinstatement of a heatheni/ing monarchy over the struggling Christianity of native Hawaiian*, as well as over this noble foreign civilization. The New United States Minister. On the Australia arrived the Hon. Albert S. Willis of Kentucky, the Envoy and Minister of the United States to this Government. On the 7th, Minister Willis presented his Letters of Credence, THK FRIKNI). with many expressions of friendship and regard both .to this government and to the people of this country. The actual meaning and force of those expressions will be interpreted by his acts. OUR HEAVENLY BODIES. in Central Union Church, November, f Prom a discourse 19th, 1893, by the Rpv. K. (. BatK WITH, D.D.I I. John 111. '2. "We shall lit like him, for we shall see Him as lit is. " * * * If it seems to any of you that such a transfiguration will obscure our personal identity, making us so unlike our present selves, that we shall not know each other in that new and radiant ensphering, remember, first, that it does not make things obscure to leline them. The more you polish a bit of rosewood, the more it brings out the beautiful tracery of its graining. It is a rude comparison, to be sure, but I mean to say that identity is not a mere external quality or an accident. It is something inherent. You cannot refine it out. Just as this hand would be none the less seen to be mine if I had washed it very white, so it would be none the less seen to be mine if it should be made radiant with celestial light. And remember, second, that the refining which will make the body spiritual will make the discernment spiritual. "We shall see as we are seen." And so, through whatever marvelous changes we are to come into the likeness of our glorified Lord, we shall know each other quickerand better far than we know each other here. We know each other here, not simply by the size, and the color, and the contour, but a great deal more by certain personal qualities of which the face and the figure, and the posture are only a poor expression. I know it is you not so much by the color of the eyes as by the light that is in them, not so much by the limning of the lips as by the smile that is upon them. But in that perfected nature, with these vile bodies made like unto Christ's glorious body, through the facile and transparent form we may believe there will be such quick and clear revealing of the soul that is in us, that we shall all know each other there a thousand fold more unerringly. Oh, we are to be like Him. And because He will know me, in the regeneration, I am sure my mother will know me, and my boy will know me, in the same regeneration. It will not hinder this heavenly recognition that we are all to be made like Him, as if one should say "All so much alike; how shall we know each other apart ?" F"or remember again, that this likeness to Christ will be only in quality and nature of being, not in identity. Your little child that, "in tears and pain," you have given up into the arms of the loving Lord, will be only more and more itself, as it goes on unto perfection under its fashioning into the likeness of Christ. And that will make recognition so easy that I have no doubt not only that every Christian mother will instantly know [December, 1893 her own child among all the ransomed millions of little ones, but that every tenderest babe will know its own sainted mother, under the marvelous revealing of that perfected likeness to Christ. Another thing follows from this assurance that we shall be like Him. I am speaking still of the bodily likeness. Like unto his glorious body we shall be fashioned, remember. Now see how that lifts off the limitations of this body of our flesh. You think of Christ, no doubt—l always do as having the freedom of all his universe, You do not believe there is a single glimmering star so far away in the infinite depths that he cannot visit it whenever he will. You do not think of him as tethered by any of the laws of our material life, gravitation, for example. You do not think of Him as going up from Olivet by virtue of the uplift of an omnipotent arm. He went up as naturally as the light goes up, unhindered by any restraint of these rude forces, by the inherent buoyancy of the body celestial. Swiftei than the light flies a million fold, or a million million fold, it may be, you believe our transfigured Lord can wing his way from heaven to earth and from earth to heaven. Or, if not, why not ? What limitations hinder him ? Is it because it seems to be against the laws we know ? But we do not know all the laws. We are learning new things all the while, and some very wonderful things. Indeed, we seem just now to be standing face to face with forces that may be prophetic of this very fact of a celestial body, not only untethered by any rude forces that we know, but self resistant of these very forces; not only un gravitating but anti gravitating; a body with the unhindered freedom of all the created universe. Modern science just now stands with bated breath, with its hand uplifted among the electric forces, and its eye peering out into the ether depths through which the light conies flashing, wondering if such a fatt as that is not breaking in upon the eager vision. Now if our rude science is beginning to find such things among the forces it can test and tabulate, why may we not easily believe that in that realm of celestial things that is so infinitely beyond the reach of our mathematical analysis, and our chemical analysis, and our spectrum analysis, there are forms and forces more tenuous than the ether of the inter stellar spaces, and more facile and forceful than the light or lightning; forms and forces fitted for the ensphering of our transfigured Lord ? Such a celestial body no doubt enshrines him in his home of light and glory. And we shall be like him, "our vile body fashioned like unto his glorious body," "changed into his image from glory to glory." And that will be heaven; that deliverance from these earthly limitations, that power of searching the height, and the depth, and the breadth, and the length, of the wonderful work of God. �Vol. 51, No. 12.] Mrs. Ann Maria Dimond. |ln Memoriatn]. This aged and beloved survivor of the old Missionary group of Honolulu, passed from earth to the heavenly home, November 20th. She was born at the old Howling Green In New York City, early in I*oB. Her mother was of Scotch parentage, her father French, and the sole survivor of a planter's family massacred in St. Domingo. He was then in his eighth year, Was carried to France by a sea captain, but all the relatives there The captain had been guillotined. adopted anil brought him up to his own profession. His name was pronounced Anner, the true spelling unknown. Capt. Anner became a successful ship master in the West Indian trade, and noted for his polished manners. Mrs. Dimond inherited some property from her parents. Although of Episcopal parents, Miss Anner became an active member of the Presbyterian Church, and deeply inter ested in mission work. In her last illness she recalled her tending a negro couple in New York sick with cholera, one night in company with the late Amos Cooke, and washing the woman's feet. Becoming deeply interested in Foreign Missionary work, she was married November 3d, 1834, to Mr. Henry Dimond, an assistant missionary of the American Board. The young couple sailed December sth from Boston in the ship Hallespont in company with Rev. Titus Coan and Mr. E. O. Hall and their wives, forming the sixth reinforcement to the mission in the Sandwich Islands. The DimondS resided many years on the old mission premises now occupied by Mr. Hopper, where much warm and abundant hospitality was dispensetl to their fellow missionaries from the other islands. Mrs. Dimond speedily became known as a woman of both strong and sweet nature, and activity in good works. The seven children began to come fast during the next fourteen years and absorbed the larger part of the mother's time and strength. Mr. Dimond'a duties in the Mission having been chiefly of a secular nature, and being no longer needed, he resigned about 1849 and engaged in mercantile business, removing in a few years to his present residence. The parlor of their house was planned with especial reference to church and prayer meetings. It was there that Fort Street Church was organized, and its constitution signed on the parlor table. Mrs. Dimond was most active in church work under Pastors Taylor and Corwin. One of Dr. Corwin's first questions not long since to a Honolulu friend was, "Has my mainstay, Mrs. Dimond become so infirm ?" She was largely instrumental in building Fort Street Church, in securing the money for the lot, and in the fairs for the building fund. She had great love for the new Central Union Church. It is stated that her 93 THE FRIEND private contributions for the building were larger than those of any other lady. All the plans of the building were carefully studied by her. When completed she was conducted through it and surveyed it with deepest interest, reliectant to leave. She never had strength to attend public worship there. In her last sickness, one of the most frequent words on her lips was, referring to the church : "Thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof." One of Mrs. Dimond's characteristics was an ardent patriotism reaching out towards both her native and her adopted country. She longed to live to see the two countries happily united for the highest well being of the Hawaiian people as well as for the welfare of America. She was intensely interested in the great struggle for political and moral rights in the last legislature. In her last days, finding a young friend ignorant of what she wished to know of public politics, she said, "If I were as young as you, I would know everything hat is going on." When the evil tidings by the Alameda arrived on the 16th, it became almost necessary to deceive her in her weak state, so keen was her desire to be informed of what all were so anxious about. This dear and aged mother lived in faith and prayer, a life near to God and heaven. Her end was full of sweet assurance and bright hope. She expressly desired that her features should not be exposed to view at the funeral, and that no eulogistic remarks should be made in the services, so averse was she to publicity. The obsequies took place on the 21st at the house of her son-in-law, Henry T. W'aterhouse. The pall bearers were Messrs. W. W. Hall, C. M. Cooke, S. E. Bishop, S. B. Dole, W. O. Smith and G. P. Castle, all the sons of old and dear missionary brothers. The surviving children are Mrs. Dr. Stangewald, Mrs. Henry Waterhouse, General W. H. Dimond, and Mr. Edwin H. Dimond. There are also three daughters of a deceased daughter Mrs. Sarah Kinney. The widowed husband the aged Henry Dimond, in great feebleness awaits the Lord's call in resignation and hope. The Miowera Saved. After nearly six weeks on the reef, the noble steamer Miowera was safely re- moved from her perilous position, and now lies safely moored in Honolulu harbor. The injuries received by pounding on the coral prove to be slight. This no doubt was largely owing to the soft and yielding character of the rock upon which she lay, as well as to the continuance of our characteristic Pacific weather. The tearing off of the outer stem post with the rudder, is the only injury necessitating important repairs before proceeding to the Coast for complete repairs to the dented plates of her bottom. The post was torn tiff by the hawsers of the steamers which tried to pull her off. This will be replaced by means of a box caisson fitted to the Miowera's stern, sunk underneath, and pumped out. Inside this the men will work and rivet on anew the separated post. The process of pulling off the Miowera by the experienced wrecker Captain Metcalfe was comparatively simple. He obtained a solid grip on the reef with one enormous anchor for whose fluke a cavity was blasted out. Other anchors were made subsidiary. Powerful cables led from these to solid fastenings on the hull of the ship, and were hauled in by mighty tackles from the ship's steam winches. A couple of morning lides' slow steady pulling, and she was dragged into ocean's deep bosom once more. A grievous blot has been removea from our seaward view. That noble ship lying in distress and mortal peril was a most painful sight. We shall always have a tender feeling towards this ship as she courses back and forth as we trust she long may do across the Pacific. Probably no ship of her size ever lay stranded half as long without destruction, unless it was Noah's ark—and that never floated again. Mashona Land. This district of South Africa lies about 500 miles due east of the precise Antipode of Honolulu. It is a curious coincidence, that exactly under our feet, another severe conflict should be going on between the respective claims for sovereignty of a dark and a white race, although the conditions and the character of the conflict are extremely different. Here the whites have the highest interests of the natives in view as well as the necessities of their own civilization, while the best class of the natives themselves desire with the whites to be free from a debasing heathenish tyranny. In Africa there is simply a contest between savages and white immigrants. The sovereignty of Mashona land is what king Lobengula is contesting with the whites who have occupied that wonderful land of gold in large numbers. Lobengula and his half million of Matsbele people are the next neighbors of Mashona land on the south-west, and have not been disturbed in their homes by the whites. But the Mashona negroes have long been slaves to the warlike Matabeles, who continue their practice of raiding their country. This has created a fierce war with the English and Dutch immigrants, who forbid the Matabeles to molest their Mashona friends. The few thousand whites are reported already to have gained decisive victories by the help of Maxim guns over the tenfold numerous blacks. Of course Lobengula and his people will be subjugated. Undoubtedly the work will be more or less brutally done as in most wars. But it is for the general interest �94 .. of human progress that the noble uplands of Mashona -land should be occupied by a progressive white nee, who shall establish at.least a rude justice and social order in the heart of the Dark Continent. The enormous reefs of gold in that land ensure its rapid occupation. SECRRT EVEALED. THE FRIEND who were prominent actors in the Revo- [December, 1893 We greatly congratulate our esteemed lution.

DAMON CHENRY SAMUEL REV. �Vol. 51, No. 12.] from Minister Willis and Admiral Irwin down to the lowest sailor, will be participant in the atrocious crime. Our Heads of state have been in a position of profoundly heavy responsibility, between their duty of maintain ing their resistance to the overthrow of their Government to the last useful effort, and their duty of avoiding useless slaughter either of the American forces or ot their own citizens arrayed against them. By the resolute action, however, of its supporters, the Government has been carried beyond its doubts and hesitation. The vigorous and united demand of our citizens to fight the U. S. forces to the bitter end has settled the question, and whenever such forces or any other, unauthorized by the Congress of the United States attack this Government, they will be resisted to the utmost. A large proportion of the citizens hold in their veins the blood of Lexington and Gettysburg. They are perfectly armed with rifles and rapid lire guns. They can muster over one thousand men. and behind entrenchments, can give good account of any force possible at present to be brought against them. They will light with patience and courage in the glorious cause of civili sation and constitutional government against the reinstatement of a semiheathen monarch and vicious ti am pier on constitutions. A true man can find no better end to his life than to fall fighting in such a cause. To the best of our judgment, Minister Willis will not precipitate this conflict. If he waits until December 21, Congress will have assembled, and will undoubt edly have taken the whole business out of the President's hands. There can be little fear that Congress will ever authorise the carrying out of this infamous intention of replacing a base and reck less heathen tyrant over the glorious civilization of this large American Colony. Until we know to the contrary, we shall believe that Minister Willis has vigorously remonstrated against it. When Congress has assembled, we expect to learn that the dark cloud of war and slaughter which now hangs over our fair city, has been dispelled to be succeeded by bright days of peace and prosperity.

It will not answer in these times of unrest to let the Lord's work suffer from any want of interest or enthusiasm. While the future political condition and relations of the country are so involved in uncertainty, it is natural that the Hawaiian people should he anxious and ill at ease. Hut the Evangelistic mission, inaugurated on Kauai, has developed a unity and hopefulness, which augurs well for the future of the Hawaiian Churches. In Honolulu, the disaffection of many of the Kaumakapili people to their pastor, Rev. J. Waiamau, has led some of the membership to talk about forming a new church; but the disaffected element gives no evidence of ability or stability if such an attempt should actually be made. The Chinese work was never more interesting nor promising than now. The large number ofyoung people growing up under christian influences is a sight to gladden any one who will visit the Chinese Church. To hear a choir of cultivated and skillful Chinese singers, led by a young Chinese organist, is an evidence of progress, such as our faith could not have anticipated a few years ago. An effort is being made to secure funds to build a parsonage for the Portuguese pastor, Key. A. Y. Soares. The present shell of a house will then be repaired, and refitted as a home for the teachers of the mission school. The near approach of the Christmas season calls for extra work in preparation for its usual festivities. Some changes have been made in the location of the workers in the Japanese mission. Rev. Jiro Okabe comes to Honolulu to take charge of the work in the city, and he will have Rev. K. Yeguchi as his assistant. Another of the new arrivals, Rev. S. Kana has gone to Kohala to begin evangelistic work there. He has the advantage ot having had some years' experience in such work in Japan, in connection with Rev. Sidney Gulick. Rev. Mr. Oku takes charge of the work in Hilo. The young preachers on Kauai and Maui are doing earnest, faithful work. It is hoped soon to station three others, expected shortly to arrive, at as many important points. The sugar planters are interested in this evangelistic and will co-operate with the Board in the attempt to diminish the ravages of intoxicating drinks and gambling, among the 25,000 Japanese, now on the islands. 97 only patient effort can remedy.

The Urgent Need. . — �98 FRIEND. THE New Masonic Temple. The Hawaiian Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, on the evening of the 27th, dedicated their new Temple. It is an elegant edifice, the lower part devoted to stores and offices, the upper to Masonic uses. It stands on the east corner of Hotel and Alakea streets, across from the Reading Room. The Lodge\was organized in 1852 with eleven members, and now has 130. Another lodge has 43. Many leading citizens have been members. Liberal aid has been supplied to a large number of needy members, both officially and in private. The following facts came out at a late meeting of the Buffalo Presbytery: A young man was the guest of clergymen. He was a stranger to all but one or two. He was a slim pale-faced young man, with black hair, and sinewy hands. "All my life" he told them, "has been spent among the Kiowas in fishing, hunting and war. Until eight years ago I could not read, and had never seen the Bible; but I have been studying the Greek Testament and other required works, and I am confident that I can pass the customary examinations." He did pass. It seems that this young man was the son of a white scout. His uncle had long been in search of him. The boy had beenstolen by the Indians when two years old. The Kiowas came a short time ago to Fort Sill. There the uncle visited their camp, and identified the nephew by a peculiar vaccination spot. The young man immediately left the tribe; wandering into some of the fron- tier places of dissipation, he fell in with the Salvatiotr'Army, and heard, for the first time, the story of Jesus. After a long.struggle he was converted, and gave his lite to the Saviour. He has been invited already to take charge of the Presbyterian church at Akron, in western New York. We had condensed this striking narrative from a reliable correspondent of the New York Evangelist. It has more than one lesson; but its great lesson is the old one—l am not ashamed of the gospel that saves. And let it not long be true that an American or an Indian boy can grow up anywhere in our land where he cannot learn to read, and cannot know the Saviour. Let all citizens strengthen the government in its educational plans, and not forget to sustain by voluntary contributions also the directly Christian schools and missions.
