A living Christianity must put forth fresh and luxuriant growths. Two such growths have recently appeared on the noble tree of the Kingdom of God. One is the Christian endeavoi movement. The other is the Kindergarten system. Both are in high favor in the Christian world, and are making great and productive progress. Rarely have any new movements arisen in the history of the Church, more full of fruitlulness and promise. Though wide apart in external action, both of those systems are alike in seek ing to train ihe youthful mind and character, on noblr Christian lines. A century ago, the churches did littlt- tor youth and children. Kven the Sabbath school was unknown. Christian Kn deavor and the Kindergarten tell that the church is greatly awakened to the order of her Leader and King, "Feed my Lambs. The recent mammoth convention in Cleveland of Christian Endeavor dele gates, tells til the enormous enthusiasm pei v,tiling the membership of these soci eties. It is a wonderful and inspiring thought, that several hundred thousand youth in the United States alone arc banded together in an ardent enthusiasm to stir up one another to good and be The late pastor of the Hilo Foreign Church, Rev.

It takes these tender lambs into an atmosphere of sweet order, gentle kindness, and uplifting culture of sense and thought, skillfully adapted to develope their tender facul ties in the direction of all that is bright and wise and pure. Relieved from the perpetual burden of their babes, their mothers receive them home again after school hours with ■ more patient and thoughtful love, as babes who have been cared for, bettered and become precious; and thus the homes of poverty are brightened and their atmosphere purified. This is a grand and blessed discovery, how to work the most effectually for the suffering and neglected poor, by taking theii babes in earliest childhood and setting theii infant feet in paths of wis dam and sweetness, instead of being left to the violence and impurity of street life. In gieat cities like S;ni l-'rancistn. this most precious preliminary work o! the Kindergartens, already has largely revolutionised the character of the lower departments of the public schools, tilling the classes with children wonted to order, discipline anil thought. Surely it is good to live in these days of grand onward Christian progress, and to have so many lines of fruitful work upon society made read) to our hands. The church is yearly growing richer in the many talents entrusted to its care. It is a grand luxury to pattici pate in such good work. GOOD lIYE.

It was the delightful privilege of the Kditor to visit Hilo last week, in the capacity of delegate of the Central L'nion Church of Honolulu to a Council called by the First Foreign Church of Hilo to install their new Pastor, The proceedings of that Council may he found in these columns. To the formal statements there made, it is to be added, that a crowded congregation listened with marked interest for an hour and a halt to the exercises of the occasion. The Hilo Church are greatly united in their call to the new pastor, in whom they have indeed great leason to rejoice. Pastor Hill has brought with him a noble record of Home Missionary Seivice, both His people will in Utah and California, be comforted in the loss of their late devoted and eloquent pastor the Rev. E. P. Baker, who was compelled to retire by reason of protracted illness. Most pleasant experience was had of the warm hospitality of the Hilo friends, many of whom were met therein I8. >7, when the first Morning Star had just brought out the now veteran Binghams on their way to long service at Apaiang. Dr. Wetmore, Judges Austin, Lyman and Hitchcock still survive from those old days. Fathers Lyman and Coan, then in mature activity, have long since gone Finding - ;it Hilo four-horse daily i tinning over this lovely stages road, the temptation was too strong, anil a couple of days were taken for the trip. The lower half of the road had been traversed in lft'.i .'. Now the whole distance is completed. The run was made in six hours and a half up. and five and half down, including stops, all except a long rest each way at the "Mountain ViewHouse.' This is a house standing on on the sharp crest of a small hill, which overlooks a mile or so of straight road through the forest above and below. Like the Other cottages lately erected in this lately virgin forest, the walks lead ing up to it are laid with planks hewn from the stems of tree ferns. The road enters this dense forest at the l.'tth mile post, leaving it about the fftth. The loft}- lehuit trees ate heavily hung with the rich verdure of the ieic. The spaces below are thick with the splendid feathery plumes of the hopitu tree ferns.

Work was still going on upon the last quarter mile. Directly in front of the Hotel a deep cut was being blasted out to furnish an easy grade down to the lower bench of land beyond the Hotel. This new Volcano road is an immense boon to Hilo, opening up as it does a noble tract of productive country hitherto sealed up. It has cost the Government $'.Mi.ooO, or $1)000 a mile. This will in a few years be returned to the treasury in taxes upon the enhanced values thus created of property along the road. The new coffee plantations are at altitudes ol from IftOOtoJWW feet above the sea. They enjoy the extraordinary rainfall of 180 inches per annum. Yet no water anywhere stands upon the ground, owing to the porosity of the underlying lava. The climate is deliciously cool. One of the highest farms is being planted with apples, peaches, and other fruit of the Temperate Zone. Satolli Condemns the Saloon. Axonii h Triumph of American CHRISTIANITY. Bishop Watterson of Columbus, Ohio, recently declared bis purpose (1) to withdraw his approbation from any Catholic Society in his diocese having saloonkeepers among its officers; (2) to reorganize no new Society which has saloonkeepers among its members; (3) to refuse absolution to those saloon keepers who conduct their business "in a forbidding and disedifying way." and sell Sundays. An appeal from Bishop Watterson on this action was made to Archbishop Satolli, the Apostolic Delegate. Satolli has sustained the Bishop and approved his action. Great alarm has ensued among Catholic saloon keepers, particularly in New York City. It is thought an attempt to carry out such discipline there would cause a rebellion in the church, The Plenary Council in 18K5 issued an exhortation to pastors to persuade Catholics engaged in the liquor traffic to abandon it and adopt "a more becoming way of making a living;" a general commendation of total abstinence societies, and a provision prohibiting all liquors at church fairs and picnics, and patronage of saloons on Sunday. Notwithstanding its theoretical infallibility, the Roman Catholic Church is subject to the same laws of evolution and change both in faith and morals on �Vol. 52.

J Gospel light "f the United States. Roman Catholics in that country are in comparably in advance of those of Southern Europe or of Mexico in both intelligent faith and' purity of morals. Their church has become largely Americanized; that is, it has absorbed the prevalent spirit ot American Protestant religion in matters both of belief and of practice. It is American Puritanism which has taught American Catholics to begin to regard the traffic in liquor as a crime against Christian morals. European Catholicism does not so regard it. Anglican Christianity is only beginning to suspect that such traffic is inconsistent with Christian morals. The French Catholicism of Honolulu has not begun It is doubtto dream of such an idea ful whether the Anglican Church in Hawaii suspects it or would hesitate to appoint an otherwise reputable liquor seller to i hurch office. Bishop Watterson's action, it is to be noticed, is still far behind that of the Protestant churches. Probably there is no Protestant church in America which would allow in its membership the most reputable retailer of liquors; and few that would tolerate a wholesale dealer as a member. Such is the progress of Total Abstinence principles since seven ty years ago when church deacons in New England manufactured and sold ardent spirits, just as office bearers now do in the Church of England. In the action of Watterson and Satolli American Puritanism has scored a noble triumph. Control of Liquor Traffic. Without making the liquor traffic anyworse than it is, there is certainly much abuse from it in Honolulu and more than there is any necceesit) for. It is pretty hard to say just what we are coming to, so often risked, but it is quite easy to point out what we should come to speedily in Honolulu and will come to in time. Practically all prohibition schemes have failed in application and as it is admitted there is no sort ol compromise possible, the only feasible plan is for the Government to control the liquor retail evil, just as it does other health matters, largely by prevention. Let the Government take control of this retail trade, and, as has been done in some other countries, establish one or two licensed saloons under its direct con trol for the sale of pure wines and liquors to responsible adults, in moderate quantities only, and the first great step towards temperance reform will have been taken by removing the main cause of drunkenness in the form of unrestricted opportunity.

Islands and to New Guinea. : [September, 1894. Hon. G. D. Gilman Gave on the 21st, a very interesting talk in Y. M. C. A. Hall, upon '-Past Memo ries and Recent Impressions of Hawaii." It was addressed especially to English speaking Hawaiians. The speaker's style is a peculiar)' entertaining one. Mr. G. arrived here as a youth, in the same ship with the parents of President Dole in 1841. The native population were then nearly four times their present number. They carried all burdens on their auitnms. Beasts of burden were still lacking to them. The royal chiefs still rode in long stately procession. Half a century has wrought a vast change. Unlike most foreigners, Mr. Gilman acquired the native tongue with accuracy and fluency, and has been able to address in their own language the native congregations in Kawaiahao and Kaumakapili churches. Royalist Commissioners Back Home. Messrs. Widemann, Parker and Cummins, who lately went to Washington to represent Mrs. Dominis and ascertain what President Cleveland's views and intentions were about her case, arrived back in Honolulu on August 30th. It is well understood that their mission totally failed in obtaining the slightest encouragement to hope for any aid to the fallen queen from the administration of President Cleveland. The latter has fully recognized the Republic of Hawaii as the Government of these Islands. Whenever the returned Commissioners shall make public the facts of their mission and its results, and the fact is thus made clear to the natives that the queen cannot be restored and is no longer to be feared, it is to be expected that they will hasten, in large numbers, to give in their adhesion to the Republic. It is, doubtless, not strange that the ex-queen and her supporters are extremely reluctant thus to abandon their remaining hold upon the natives. It may, therefore, be some time before the returned Commissioners publish the truth. Royalist Threats. The Registration Board returned on the 24th to Honolulu from atripaiound the island. Most of the natives refused to register, assigning as a reason that the queen was sure to be restored, and would hang them if they took the oath. This statement is made by the P. C Advertiser. There is no doubt of its correctness. �Vol. 52, No. 9.] Visit to the Volcano.

I was two days with the five Samoan missionaries in Beru. They have been working with the New Testa ment and hymn hooks. The school books are not \tt introduced; thus the schools are singing schools. The five hymns used were all sung to what I call a revolving tune. When we get a new supply of books, I hope to visit them, also all the islands using this language and introduce our literature. A severe drought rages on the line islands and those to the south of them. Some of the people on Arorai are reported to have died. At Beru they were using mud tapioca dug up from a brackish pond, eating it with the little toddy they get. We met showers at Maiana, and quite heavy rains at Tarawa and Butaritari, as we went northward. Here at Butaritari they have no drought but a $.'3,0(10 debt to pay. There has been no trading in nuts since Jan. Ist, as all the nuts have been tabooed by the Resident Commissioner for debts which are called government debts. Many of the best natives have no debts. So they also have a kind of drought which is quite real. As to work—the 440 bibles are all sold. I had to close out at Tarawa, Maiana and Nonouti. The British resi dent lias not yet been able to collect his $50 tax for 1893. Thus all book sales and contributions are small, as there is no money in hand and it will be a long time before a new crop of nuts comes on. The mimeograph International Sabbath School lesson sheets (which Mr. Walkup prints) are taking the place of the old way of committing lessons by rote to he forgotten.

In the reconstruction of the govern, under ihe new Constitution our Hawaiian churches are losing the services of some staunch and faithful pas tins. In the districts in which they reside there are so few intelligent reliable Hawaiians, qualified to fill official positions, that the pastors are receiving Commissions as district judges, tax collectors, deputy sheriffs. The government may secure better service by appointment of well qualified persons; but the churches aie called upon to endure this loss of the services of capable and efficient pastors, with none to fill the vacancies thus made. It is none too soon that the effort has been made to reorganize the North Pacific Missionary Institute and train up for efficient service the candidates that standjready to avail themselves of the opportunities it should offer to young men to fit themselves properly for the work of the Gospel Ministry. ment �THE FRIEND. 74 ■ Entered Into Rest.

The present method, or lack of method, is inadequate for the best administration of the finances of the Board, so largely beyond the resources or needs of the olden time. Something like the biennial appropriation bills of the Hawaiian legislature would be very desirable, defining the amounts available for the various departments of the work. Salaries paid are so various in amount and time of payment that the treasurer needs, as his proper vouchers, some duly certified lists of the regular workers in each department, showing to whom and when the money is to be paid. — ' borers have competed with mechanical and business interests.
