The present is truly a time for all in Hawaii nei who believe in God's help and guidance, earnestly and unitedly as possible to implore His aid in the settlement of our public affairs. The time seems to have arrived when action is to taken for determining under what Constitutional forms the state shall go forward. The Government and the People are already taking up the work, as we believe in a sincere, patriotic, and conserative spirit of laying carefully and wisely these new foundations. The past history of Hawaii has shown wonderfully God's helping and directing hand saving from perils and establishing our affairs in prosperity. Our trust must be in Him forthe future. We must meet the perplexities of each day as they come, not daunted by perils and difficulties. Surely we may feel confident that God's guiding and helping hand is with us, and will carry us through. Mrs. Asenath Spring Green. IN MEMORIAM. home for thirty two years in Makawao, Maui, on February 4th, in the 73rd year of her age, after several weeks of patient suffering. "Mother Green," as she was affectionately called by her warm-hearted neighbors, was born at Hrimfield, Mass., March 23d, 1820. She taught for many years, for the most part in the public schools of Providence. She was married on Sept. 11, 1861, to the late Rev. Jonathan S. Green, and arrived with him at his home in Makawao, Dec. 11, of the same year. Father Green's two children, Porter and Mary, were already in active life. Two more, Frank and Laura, were born of this later marriage. Mrs. Green presided over a home of much straitness of means, Father Green having withdrawn from the American Board and its support many years before, on account of what he regarded as the Board's wrong complicity with slavery. Mrs. Green's great practical efß ciency made their narrow means go far, and kept up the well-known and gracious hospitality of the Makawao Missionary's home. Not less was her loving and capable spirit felt in the work of the Church and the Sabbath School. Left in widowhood in 1878, with her children still in tender years. Mrs. Green, herself advanced in years, bravely kept up the missionary home not only,but faithfully ministered in Church and Sabbath School to the remnant of the once large flock of her husband's parish, who were under the care of a native pastor. On the day of her death, with wandering thoughts she said "I must go to Sunday School.'' Mrs. Green was a woman of refinement and cheerful self-forgetfulness, delightful in social intercourse, and full of benevolence and good works, especially for the young. Of good works her laborious life has been full. Her Christian faith was deep and fervent. Her light shone brightly. She was one greatly beloved. She is mourned as a dear friend by hundreds of Hawaiians as well as of foreigners. Her children are Mr. Frank C. Green and his three children of Worcester, Mass, and Miss Laura C. Green of Makawao, with her step daughter the devoted missionary Miss Mary E. Green. She was buried Feb. sth in the old Foreign burying ground in Makawao, the services being conducted by Revs. Dr. Beckwith, Kuia of Paia, and Kapu Messrs. J. W. Kalua, of Wailuku.

Alexander, in brief and acIt is so admirable a concurate form. densation of the history of the Hawaiian people, that Thh PsiBNQ gladly adopts it, as of good service at this time, when so many are iuquiring about Hawaii. Miss Field says: Professor of languages, mathematician, surveyor and historian, Prof. Alex- ander is in Washington to tell the truth about the country he loves and longs to see at peace with all the world. What he says is worth reading. Naturally I began with Captain Cook. "What was the condition of the islanders when discovered by the English ?" "The people were not savages, but barbarians of" a rather noble type. Occupying the most isolated position in the world, and separated for ages from all intercourse with the rest of the human race, without metals or cereals, or domestic animals,except dogs and swine, they were probably deteriorating in every respect. Wars were becoming more ftequent and bloody and the common people more degraded and oppressed, while both the church and state were growing more despotic and cruel." "How large was the population ?" "It was probably at least a quarter of a million. There is reason for believing that it was stationary if not decreasing at the time of the discovery, and that the vitality of the race was already im- paired." "How were the natives ruled ?" "Until the reign of Kamehameha I. there were generally at least four separate kingdoms in the group; sometimes the single island of Hawaii was divided between several independent chiefs. The people were divided into three classes, viz.: chiefs, priests and the common people, or serfs. The position of a chief was not merely political, but of a sacred and religious character. He was descended from the gods, was guarded by awful taboos while living and deified after death. The common people were tenants at will, and had no rights which a chief was bound to respect. It is estimated that common laborers did not receive on an average more than a third of the avails of their industry, the other two-thirds being divided between the chiefs of different grades and the King. The middle class of freemen which existed in New Zealand and Tahiti was nearly absent in Hawaii." �18 THE FRIEND. "Was cannibalism practiced ?"

He and the next two kings of ("March, 1894. the Kamehameha dynasty had some conception of their position as constitutional sovereigns and of the proper policy to be pursued toward foreigners. They did not regard themselves as merely kings of the native Hawaiians, and they generally exercised their powers in accord,nice with English precedents. They availed themselves of the advice and assistance of the best white men in the country, without whom the experiment would have failed in the outset. During the reign of Kamehameha V, a reactionary tendency began to show itself among the natives, and the former good understanding between the races began to be impaired. One cause of tins was the withdrawal of the American Board of Missions. It was a fatal mis take. Thus passed away a class of white men who were unselfishly devoted to the interests of the natives, and who possessed thii confidence. They acted as mediators between the natives and that portion of the white population which had less regard for their rights and welfare. "Another cause was the premature extinction of the order of chiefs, who were the natural leaders of their race, and whose part could not be filled by plebeians or foreigners. The scourge of leprosy, which has compelled the enactment ol severe segregation laws, has helped to widen the breach between the races. The consequences were seen in the lawlessness and race hatred that broke out in Lunalilo's reign." "Will you briefly sketch the reign of Kalakaua ?" "During Kalakaua's reign there was an extraordinary development of the resources of the country produced by foreign enterprise and capital, and a large increase of the foreign element in the population. King Kalakaua, however, seemed to consider himself as merely a Hawaiian chief, and to regard the white residents as alien invaders. His object seemed to be to change the system of government into an Asiatic despotism like that of Johore, and to deprive the white race, in time, of all voice in its administration. He made systematic elforts to demoralize the native population by the revival of sorcery, by removing the prohibition of the sale of liquor to the natives, and by fomenting race hatred and jealousy under the guise of 'national' feeling. He abused his appointing power without stint, and packed the Legislature with subservient office holders. He employed carpet-bag adventurers and renegade whites as Cabinet Ministers to carry out his schemes. At last his conduct became so infamous that an uprising in IKB7 of nearly the whole population of every nationality, together with the better class of natives took place. It compelled the King to sign a revised Constitution which put an end to personal rule, and gave the white element a voice in the Government.

"What of the ex Queen and the last revolution ?" "Grave apprehensions were felt at her accession to the throne, which were partially relieved by her promptly taking the oath to maintain the Constitution of 1887. In her published statement she affirms that she signed it unwillingly. The Supreme Court decided that the late Cabinet expired with the King. This gave her an opportunity to dictate terms to the incoming Cabinet an to secure control of appointments. Her first condition was that the notorious favorite, C. B. Wilson, should be appointed Marshal, with control over the whole police force of the Kingdom. He surrounded himself with B gang ol disreputable characters, and associated open ly with notorious opium smugglers, while opium joints, gambling houses, etc., flourished with the connivance of his police. At the same time, he was known to have more influence in the administration than an)- member of the Cabinet. The Queen then formed an alliance with the agents of the Lottery Company by which she expected to conciliate the support of the unthinking populace and secure a revenue independ ent of loans. The proclamation of a despotic constitution in which the whites were to be disfranchised would have completed her scheme, and was expected to be popular with the majority of the natives. "The revolution has been full)- vindicated by the dispatches of Minister Willis, lately given to the public." Missionary Perils in Peru. Among recent report of progress in missionary work one of the most gratifying is that of Dr Thos. B. Wood who is laboring in Peru. He was in New York lately and called at the office of this journal to express the gratitude of the brethren in that land for the service rendered by the Christian Herald, three years ago, in calling the attention of the Christian world to the valiant struggle they are waging there in the face of tierce opposition. He informed us that the little church in Callao is still holding together, that the converts are themselves preaching the Gospel, that live schools have been opened, and the people, al though very poor, are contributing out of their meagre earnings, funds for extending the work. They have also in contemplation the erection of a stone chapel, and Dr. Wood, we understand, secured contributions during his stay in New York, to the amount of a thousand dol Christ's kingdom must rejoice in this brave solporteur, and his dead body was news; for not in Africa, or China, or any found on a lonely road near the frontier. heathen land, are there difficulties so As it has ever been in the history of the stupendous in the way of the progress church, others volunteered to take up of the Gospel as there are in this South the work commenced by the dead.

He took a brief tour for the recuperation of his health, but was soon back again at Callao, where be is now, prosecuting his beloved work. During his imprisonment the services in the little hall were not discontinued. Two of the converts ministered to the of their ability to the little Hock and prayer was made continually to God for the release of the beloved Pastor. Menacing words wer chalked on the doors and walls of the hall threatening all who attended, with death, but they did not deter the people from coming. The number of converts grew and, as always happens in time of persecution. they were genuine men prepared to make sacrifices for their faith. Missionaries of the Methodist Episcopal Church went to Penzotti's aid and the work was extended. Dr. Wood, who is at the head of that mission, says that now there is a genuine movement for freedom of religious worship which is growing in popular favor. A congregation has been gathered in Lima itself and live schools have been established for children. Two colporteurs are aiding in the work of Bible distribution and two liible women are engaged in house to bouse visitation. Both the colporteurs and Bible women are converts of the mission and they are true and tried Christians. One of the colporteurs name Arancet was recently attacked by a murderous mob who dragged him away to stone him. Arancet knelt down in their midst anil prayed for his would-be murderers. Providentially the arrival of an officer prevented the commission of the crime. Luisa Hurtado, one of the Bible women, had been threatened with burning and has been reminded that it is not long ago that a priest in northern Peru caused a woman to be burned. But sin- and a fellow-laborer are fearlessly continuing their work. The heroism of these devoted men ane women is beyong all praise. Although they are aware that they are hated by the priests who are unscrupu lous enough to incite the mob to do them a mischief, they shrink from no service which has a promise of useful ness. Dr. Wood says that the outlook is full of promise and every year adds to the force of the movement. The schools, especially, hold out a bright prospect. The children as they grow up will carry the Gospel influence with them into the homes and will open the way to other avenue now closed. The belong to many nationalities. Beside the native Peruvians, there are children of European, Indian, African and Chinese parents. Two of the five schools are selfsupporting and the others partially so. Eight of the teachers are natives who receive instruction in theology when not engaged in teaching. So much lias come under the blessing of God on Penzotti's work. The project of erecting a chapel in Callao as a memorial of Penzotti's bravestand for truth, is one reflecting great credit on the little band of Christian people. As they are poor, it will neces sarily be a slow and arduous work, but should it take definite shape, they will doubtless receive encouragement and help from Christians in America and other lands, whose hearts cannot but be touched by their fidelity to Christ in the face of persecution.

It is manyyears since such a succession of thun derstorms has broken over Honolulu. The rains began on the last day of January, and have recurred nearly every other day since.

An active movement is now in progress in the Woman's Board, organizing a "Kindergarten Department," to organize, equip, and support this class of schools. The feeling is growing in great strength that no class of mission work is more fruitful than this of taking the neglected infant ones into skillful Christian training and nurture. Miss Camaia of the primary department in the Portuguese Mission schools, says she finds those who came from the Kindergarten are much more easily taught than others and rapidly outstrip them in knowledge. .

D.D. - Editor, Our Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, the Rev. O. P. Emerson, was at Chicago on his way to meet the steamer Australia on the 17th ult., when his farther progress was so obstructed by a blizzard that he failed to make the connection. We shall greatly rejoice when he comes to resume the work, as we trust, with renewed strength. An Appeal to theFriends of Evangelical Work as Carried on by the Hawaiian Board. In view of the enlargement of our 23 THE FRIEND. Who can withhold sympathy and aid, if once a visit is paid to our schools and church? The personal knowledge gained of the steady upward growth of these last few years will dispel much prejudice, and deepen the desire of every Christian heart to see more and more of the triumphs of the Gospel among those who have come trom the land of despotism and superstition to this land of liberty and enlightenment to build their homes here and help build up the nation of the future. And our Japanese work, now being more efficiently manned and more thoroughly organized than ever, has its claims upon the wise and thoughtful liberality of this community. The measure of success already attained is a hopeful indication of the abundant harvest we may expect from faithful, loving, persistent Christian work for this people, so eager to avail themselves to the best advantage of the privileges accorded to them in these islands. The expenses for the last year were over $25,000. While the work has increased upon our hands, a careful estimate of the probable expenditures will not exceed that amount. For the Foreign Work, we need $3,000; North Pacific Missionary Institute, 5750; Cjueen Emma Hall, $1,200; Kohala School, $500; other Hawaiian work, $1,800; Chinese Work, $5,100; Portuguese, $3,600; Japanese, $3,000; Publications, $500; General Expenses, 53.600. The treasurer has received already about $18, COO. The balance must be secured in some way before May 15th, when the treasurer's books are closed for the year. The special need is for the salaries ot the Hawaiian Missionaries in the Marquesas and (iilbert Islands. Will you not esteem it a privilege to help in this work by such contribution as you may wish to send to the Treasurer, work, and the increasing draft on the resources of the Board, we are constrained to make a special appeal for prompt and generous financial aid from all who are interested in its various undertakings. In the providence of God, with the new developments of the Islands in the line of political and industrial progress, there have been laid upon us also new obligations and new burdens. While every effort is made to use wisely and economically the means put at its disposals, every expenditure being closely scanned as to its necessity and limitations, the Board believes that the opportunities for Christian work, and the necessities of each individual case, call for liberal aid from Christian people in W.

Gulick And wife arrived in Honolulu last month, and promptly entered upon work for the Japanese in these islands. Mr. Gulick's length of stay is uncertain, beyond six months. His precise sphere and methods of labor will be more fully defined after noting the conditions of the work. There are a good number of more or less efficient Japanese preachers in the work among their countrymen throughRev. Jiro Okabe, out the islands. especially, has had remarkable success. Mr. Gulick's long experience in Japan qualifies him to supply what the Hawaiian Board need, more fully to understand the needs of these good Japanese brethren. It is hoped also that Mr. and Mrs. Gulick may find the way open for valuable work among our Hawaiian churches, whose language they have not forgotten, after twenty-five years absence from their native land. Has Not Reached Ruk. The R. ll'. Logan that was sent back from Yokohama to Kuk, and ought to have reached there October Ist, had not arrived January 2d, the latest date of communications received from that island. Grave fears are entertained as to the safety of the little vessel. There are four Japanese companies now engaged in trade with the Caroline Islands, so that there are opportunities for sending a mail from Yokohama to Ruk six or eight times a year. The next vessel will leave Japan March 15th. Howells is quoted as declaring that the most important thing to be done is to "Christianize Christianity." This may strike the conventional Christian as violent, but to the student of the Sermon oil the Mount and Paul's apostrophe to Christian love, the declaration is both warranted and just. Christendom is still spelling out crudely the rudimentary and doctrinal tenets of Christianity. As another has forcibly said: "We are not yet Christians, for we have not yet realized the ethical ideal of Christianity. Christianity means liberation from the beast in us. We fight one another, we rob one another, and covet our neighbor's goods; we lust after women. We do not give our raiment to our brother in need, nor do we speak the truth by yea, yea; nay, nay. But to keep these commandments is Christianity, and the keeping of them is independent of dogmatic belief. A few individuals may follow the Master, but human society does not even profess the teachings of the Christ. Pew attempts have been made to realize them. Charles Kingsley was the first in our century to make an earnest effort in the right direction. He did not try to convert the people to the Church, but to place the Church at the service of the people."—Zion's Herald. �Chinese Restriction. Many thousands of Chinese laborers have been imported into these islands under contract to work on the sugar plantations. On the expiration of their terms of contract, a majority of these laborers seek other employments. Many of them become mechanics and tradesmen. They are able to live on a fraction of what is necessary for white men in the same employments, and are extremely patient and assiduous in toil. Hence they are generally able to crowd out white mechanics and clerks, especially in the lower grades of these occupations. From the white man s point of view, this is necessarily regarded as a great evil. The white mechanic will not fail to see it a great grievance that his em ployment is taken from him, and his rate of wages forced down by Chinese labor. This grievance is a genuine one and cannot be ignored on any plea of philanthropic regard for men of other races, as is apt to be done without proper discrimination by writers residing on the Atlantic Coast. The white mechanic who lives by daily manual toil is necessarily sensitive on this subject. There is also a wider view affecting the question of unlimited immigration of Chinese. The Hawaiian Islands are gravitating to America. The}' are cvi dently destined to become the gieat commercial outpost of America in the North Pacific. Their important position will ensure them within a no distant period a population as large as can find subsistence, perhaps 500,000.

On February Ist, a bill was introduced into the Councils which requires all Chinamen to pay one dollar each for a license before engaging in any trading or mechanical occupation, and which forbids such licenses to be issued to any Chinaman not previously so employed. This Bill is said to be unconstitional. Probably it would be otherwise difficult to make such a law practically effective. It seems to be radically unjust, and contrary to the natural rights of nun to improve their condition. This bill has awakened a determined protest among tne Chinese residents themselves. On the evening of February 14th, they in a very orderly manner, held an immense mass meeting in the Chinese Theatre, and passed a series of admirably expressed resolutions, denouncing the bill, and demanding to be treated with "no lesser degree of consideration and justice than residents of other nationalities enjoy." It is not easy to see how any proper denial can be made to this demand, or how any non-resident Chinese can just ly be restricted as to their choice oi occupation It may howevei be permissible to make such restrictions a condition of admission for future Chinese immigrants. Many feel that it would be far better to prohibit future importation ol Chinese labor, and seek labor supplies from Portugal. The Chinaman is, in many important respects, a valuable citizen, although ill adapted for happy commingling with the European. The cross between the Chinese and the Polynesian is of far more serviceable quality than that of the half white Hawaiian. The Chinese blood supplies in a degree which European blood does not, the qualitieswhich the Hawaiian most fatally lacks, of patient, plodding industry and adherence to rule and system. The European contributes too much of a head strong and passionate element. Manx of our finest half-bred citizens are those with a portion of the careful, patient Chinese blood. A limited contribution of this element to the Hawaiian of the future will be of great value. ants. From both of the above points of view, it seems practically certain that the strong restriction of Asiatic immigration into the Hawaiian Islands is certain to be prominent in the public policy of the future. Hawaii is not likely to be alienated from its natural destiny in fellowship with the American Union, to become an Asiatic Colony. Cjuite distinct from such restriction upon immigration of Chinese should be kept the question of the treatment ot Chinese already residing in this country. It seeming desirable for the plantations to import additional labor ers from China, an effort has been made by suitable legislation, to permit such "Lord, it is good for us to be here,' the disciples said. And it was good fo them to be there; but not too long. Man was sent into this world not merely to see, but to do: and the more he sees the more he is bound to go and do accordingly.
