What a glorious religion those possess, who have been enabled to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He has become to them Light celestial, Love ineffable. Life unfading. They have all things in this perfect One. "In Him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." "In Him are we made full, who is the head of all principality and power." "In him we have our redemption, even the forgiveness of sins." "In him are we strengthened with all power, unto all patience and long suffeiing with joy.'' No other religion professes to give its votaries an)' such salvation from sin and The Lord its deadly consequences. the full, free, perfect forJesus brings "The blood of giveness ol sins. Christ cleanses from all sin." No other religion assures its believers of immortal, perfect life in the eternal state. Jesus says, "He that believeth on me hath everlasting life." Christ "shall fashion anew this vile body that it may become like unto his glorious body." Christ gives strength to lost and fallen sinners to be renewed and live holy lives. He brings the Holy Spirit to reinvigorate the fallen and helpless soul. He reveals to them his personal friendship and love to comfort and cheer these poor weak souls, and make them strong heavenward, by their own holier lives are teaching and purifying the people around them. All the progress of these latter days has grown under the light of Christianity and in the breath of its quickening atmosphere. Wherever Christ reigns in groups of human hearts, to those communities he brings light, well-being, good will, uplifting, and those are communities good to live in, and men gather to them to share in their prosperity and peace. But on the other hand, no community on earth where Christ is not worshipped and obeyed is a desirable community to live in and belong to. It is not a place which civilized men will intelligently choose to make their homes in. Is not this strictly true? Then what are we to think of lecturers who try to turn men and women away from the Lord by whom all enlightenment and civilization on earth have been fostered? What of those who ignore and deny the forgiveness of sins, and the life everlasting which are his free gift to every believing, obedient soul? W. C. T. U. Annual Meeting. On the 23rd inst., the tenth annual meeting of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was held at the home of Mrs. Dr. Whitney, the president. There was a large attendance of ladies, with a few gentlemen" Reports of the officers of the last year were read, followed by a resume of the ten years of the Society's existence, by the president. The Society's missionary, Miss Mary F Green, reviewed her labors during those ten years, showing a great work done in organizing native temperance societies throughout the Islands. Latterly her work has been confined to Honolulu, but she hopes to tour through the islands in the near future. The several departments of work were favorable reported by their superintendents. In the Secretary's report, besides the regular lines of work, reference was made to the Crusade anniversaiy, which was celebrated December 24th; the New Year's reception held in the Y. M 1C.

Neal Dow, the great temperance advocate and father of prohibition; the movement inaugurated for women's suffrage; and last, but not least, the Feast of Nations, started by the President of the Young Women's Temperance Union, so ably managed by her, assisted by other ladies, that $31(00 were realized. The exercises were followed by a cup of tea, etc. on the cheerful lanai annex. (Much of the above is to be credited to the P. C. Advertiser). The Rev. Prof. John Leadingham, late of Oberlin University, is expected Nov. 3rd, per Australia, to be associated with the Rev. Dr. Hyde in the Pacific Missionary Institute. A Daughter of Hawaii. Or.i i laky. Mrs. Julia Maria (Richards) Brewer passed away Oct. 9th, at her home in Grinnell, lowa. She was the daughter of the eminent missionary Rev. Wm. Richards, and was bom at Lahaina, April 4th, 1836. Her father being Minister of Public Instruction until his death in Julia was somewhat intimate with the group of young chief girls in Mrs. Cooke's Royal School, ut whom the ex-queen is one ut the last survivors. Going with her mother to America, in 1880, she was married Aug. 4th, 1H59 to Fisk P. Brewer, a son of the eminent missionary in Turkey, and brother of Justice Brewer of the U. S. Supreme Court, nephew also of Justice Field. Prof. Brewer was in the University of North Carolina from 1869 to 1877, being two years of that time Minister to Athens nnder President Grant. lie died a few years since. Mrs. Brewer was an active working Christian. She leaves two sons and four daughters, all of whom have received a college education. Her daughter Mary is a missionary at Sivas, Turkey. Her daughter Grace was not long ago a teacher in Kawaiahao Seminary, and became much endeared to many friends here. Only two other children of Mr. Richards now survive. A son Lyman, long in educational work near Boston, and Mrs. Harriet Keopuolani (lark, residing in Newton, Mass. �THE FRIEND 84 Oahu Association. SIMIA.WLAL Mkf.l IMO. (Abridged from P, C. Advertiser.) The semi annual meeting of the Oahu Association was held Oct. 3rd and 4th, at Waikane. Rev. J. Kekahuna was chosen Moderator, and Rev. E, S. Timoteo, Scribe. Reports from the nine native churches, showed a varying con tlition, depending largely upon the abilty and faithfulness of the pastor. A new phase ol Church work was reported from Kalihi. Some of the young women have formed a "Circle for House Visitation, and have tiietl to keep up the religious hie of the community, now without a pastor. On Sunday afternoons they hold religious services at the Receiving Hospital for the leper suspects there awaiting the decision of their cases. Kaumakapili Church present! its usual report oi trouble because ol chronic indebtedness, and equally troublesome disaffection on account of the pastor's pronounced dislike of the scandalous and ruinous disorders ol the monarchical regime. Political dissensione have also split the church at Waianae. The Church at Waialua, in order to reach the non church gocis. arranged a music al evening, uniting every one to attend. The tinging was excellent, and a large company assembled. During the intermissions a special committee button holed those who were not in the habit of attending church. The endeavor was Successful, resulting in an increased attendance at the Sunday services. The people Of Hauula dissatisfied with the want uf religious instruction m the Government school, have estab lished an independent English school. They wish their children instructed in the Bible and in Christian duties during the week, as a needful preparation for the most profitable results of Sunday school instruction on the Lord's Day. It was arranged that the student from the .North Pacific Missionary Institute who has been a pastor during his vacation, should continue the work while continuing his studies for an additional year in Honolulu, spending Saturday and Sunday at Hauula. Waikane Church showed a new coat of paint, inside and outside, the work of resilient artists. The body of the sides and ceiling is painted a modest straw color; the trimmings are of olive brown, and the mouldings show a stripe of red. Carpenters had hardly finished the new seats with which the church was furnished in modern style. The delegate who read the report acknowledged on behalf of the church, their gratitude to Mr. P, C. Jones, who has his country home near the church, and has by his generous contributions for these expenses stirred up the church members to [November, 1894 these improvements in their house of island associations, and begin the publication of the magazine with the first worship. The pastor of Waianae who has recently been appointed a District Judge, presented a request to be dismissed from the pastorate. A committee was appointed to confer with the church, with power to declare the pastorate month of the new year. One of the most interesting exercises of the Sunday school exhibition was a class of foreigners, two Gilbert Islanders, two Samoans. two Japanese, who sang hymns and recited verses of Scripture, each in their own native tongue. vacant.

It is hoped lege of ordaining officers, no exclusive to secure the cooperation of the different order, but simply certain persons whose - �Vol. 52, No. 11.] special function was the ministry of the Word. Hence of the men Jesus appoint ed, James, l'eter, and John are the only three ever named outside the Gospels; and for the history of the Church and its organization only the two latter are ofreal significance, and even their sig nificance is personal rather than official. James, the brother of the Lord, appears as an Apostle, though he was not one of the Twelve. Paui seems to associate with himself in the Apostleship, Apollos, Timothy, and Silvanus, and to apply the name to Andronicus and Junia. The Apostles were therefore no fixed order, and had no special governmental functions—others laid on hands as well as they; they were simply messengers and representatives of Christ. He preached, so did they; by preaching Heestablished his Kingdom, and they planted Churches; by the Word they worked their wonders and did their work. But as to any transmission of authority there is no word, nor is there any cvi dence of the existence of any official body either authorized or able to transmit it. 2. But the other point is more fundamental. It has already been so far discussed that we need only say here, the New Testament ministry is not a priesthood; in no single feature, aspect, or office has it a sacerdotal character. It is a small question what apostle, proph et, teacher, bishop, pastor, presbyter, deacon, mean, or how some perished and others survived, and how in the process of survival they were changed; but it is a profounder question, full of vaster issues, how into those that survived the sacerdotal idea penetrated, and by changing them changed the charac ter of the religion through and through. There is an exact correspondence be tween the ministerial office and the nature of the religion, or the offices of the Church and its essential character. Sacerdotalism means that an oflice is conceived to be so sacrosanct, and so necessary to man's worship of God, and God's access to man, that without it there can be no perfect worship on the one side, and no adequate or regular communication of life on the other. It means that the priest, as a priest, and not as a person, and his instruments as his, or as used by him, are the only authorized and divinely constituted media through which God reaches man and man God, or through which the recognized and approved intercourse of the creature with the Creator can proceed. Now in the New Testament no such ideas are associatetl with the mm istry or with any person appointed to it. No man bears the priest's name, 01 professes his functions; the studious avoidance of the name by nun who were steeped in the associations of sacerdotal worship is most significant; and and so is the care with which they trans late sacerdotal functions into their spiritual antitypes. The priesthood ceases THE 85 FRIEND. to be official by being made universal. The life of the communities is not bound by any priestly observances, but by the new laws of love. The Church and its ministry, therefore, correspond throughout; the ministry is one of persuasion, that seeks to move the will through the conscience, and both through the reason and heart; that cares in the new and gracious way of brotherhood for the poor, the sick, the ignorant, the suffer ing, the sinful, and attempts to help, to love, to win by sweet reasonableness; while the Church is a Society which seeks to realize the beautiful ideal of a family of God, or a household of faith, or a brotherhood of man. The rise of the sacerdotal orders marks a long dcs cent from the Apostolic age, hut is cer tainly nothing of Apostolic descent. Christian Sociology. The study of Sociology has come to the front in these days. Society is filled with growth, change, and upheavals, which imperatively demand that the foundations and principles of social order should be thoroughly explored. Our readers are asked to consider what seem to us somewise thoughts on Sociology by Z. Swift Holbrook in the Bibliotheca Sacra. "Since man is the integral unit, and the concrete aggegate of many of these units is society, and we know that a perfect society must have perfect units, and the Christian religion has come to seek and to save that which was lost, we see at once the relation of Christianity to civilization. Plato's Republic, Cicero's commonwealth, Mine's Utopia, assumed perfect units, and the practical attempts at socialism have failed for the want of them. The real difficulty in all theories about an ideal social condition has been that an ideal society must be formed of persons who themselves are ideals of benevolence and wisdom. Society cannot be a perlect machine, working smoothly and accomplishing its purpose, so long as the individuals which compose that society are themselves imperfect. It has never been difficult to construct, in theory, an imaginary state out of imaginary citizens, and have them all honest, industrious, anil thrifty, and therefore contented ami happy. The world has never lacked for theorists, transcendentalists, dreamers; but the Christian reli gion is practically the only force that has appeared yet to accomplish any ideal result, and Christian men and women so far have been the only agents for tloing this work in this world. We dc fine as "Christian" the doers of rightIt is the mission of the eousness. Christian religion to regenerate and perfect the individual. Sociology, therefore, leads at once to biblical theology, and its very first question is, "What shall I do with Jesus which is called the Christ?" Schism Among The Theosophists. It was announced in one of the New York Dailies last week, that Mr. William M. Judge had arrived in that city from London. The announcement did not seem to be of vevy great importance, as few persons know, or care to know, who Mr. Judge is, or what he had been But to make the tact of doing abroad. arrival a matter of some consehis that it was added he had been quence, acquitted in London of charges preferred against him by Mrs. Annie Besant. The two names at once suggest the fact of the serious division which has been known to exist in the ranks of theTheosophists of England and America. The revelation of the schismatic movement was first made at the time of the death of Madame Blavatsky, who seems to have had sufficient ihrewdneas to keep herself, while in life, in the ascendancy in the councils of the Theosophists. She did this by representing that she was in immediate and constant communication with the "Mahatmas," a company of spiritual beings peculiar to the Theosophic system of religion, from whom came important revelations to mortals, and especially to Madame Blavatsky. At the time of the death of this gross and ambitious woman, the question arose, Who was to be successor to the There were defunct head of the sect ? several aspirants for the vacant place, Mrs. Annie Besant and Mr. Judge being, by common report, among the number. To justify his aspirations, Mi. Judge produced some revelations from the Mahatmas, which seemed to prove that he was in communication with these shadowy personages. But Mrs. Besant was equal to the emergency. She arraigned Mi. Judge before the Judicial Committee ofthethe Theosophic Society in London on charge ofhaving foi ged the names and the writings of the Mahatmas, and that on these forged revelations he was striving for the mastership in the ranks of the.faithful. The trial was duly held, the inevitable Colonel Olcott presiding, and Mr. lodge was acquitted. But unfortunately the case was so handled that n" decision was made upon the charge.,, as it was dismissed on the plea of want ol jurisdiction. No evidence could be procured going to show that there were such beings, secluded somewhere, as the Mahatmas, and that they had made some definite written revelations through Mr. Judge, which were authoritative, and which less favored members of the body must accept and believe. No proof that there had been a forgery could be sub- �THE FRIEND. 86 mitted, and no proof of the genuineness of the documents which he presented was afforded, for the case went off on a technicality. So it. now stands. Mrs. Besant seems to have admitted that Mr. Judge may have had access to the high authorities he claims to represent, but that he "should have stated whether messages transmitted through him were consciously or automatically written.'' We are not sure that we fully understand this language, but it certain ly differs widely from the ugly English word "forgery." Meanwhile, there comes news from India that Mrs. Besant has advanced or retreated from Theosophy to plain, oldlashioned antique Hinduism. She goes now, according to her own wish, by the name of Anna Bai. In a speech at Bangalore she is reported to have said that "she was a Hindu Pundit in a former birth, and is visiting her own land after a sojourn in the West, where she re-incarnated to know the nature of the materialistic civilization of those regions." These are among the crude and visionary teaching of a number of vagrants for whom Christ has no message of truth or goodness.—The Presbyterian. Japan and China. A pamphlet written by Mr. Kango Uchimura, has been reprinted in the P. C. Advertiser. It purports to vindicate upon the highest grounds of justice and benevolence the war now being made by Japan and China, as intended to set Korea free from a strangling interference of China with every tendency toward reform and progress. It further represents the present conflict as one inevitable between the smaller state representing the cause of progress and civilization, antl the larger one, which champions retrogression and barbarism. We are not in a position properly to estimate this claim in behalf of Japan. We would hope that it is measurab'y just: Certainly such a claim adds a deep interest to the struggle as viewed by other nations. The motives of the best-intentioned acts are seldom unmixed with selfishness and pride. Even if many wrong motives enter into this vigorous and skillful attack of Japan upon her colossal neighbor, it is matter of profound gratification that Japan is moved to appeal to the nobler sentiments of Christendom for sympathy and respect. 'The civilized world will observe the conduct of Japan in this war with the deepest interest, and will rejoice in all that makes her to differ from the barbarism that undoubtedly deforms Chinese warfare.

A committee of business men was appointed to confer with the Kaumakapili committee. It is gratifying to learn, that efficient help has been supplied, and the debt readjusted on more favorable terms, while it is undertaken to raise a good sum to meet deficiencies.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Board, is responsible lor it> content*. Rev. O. P. Emerson, - . Editor. The fall meeting of the Maui and Molokai presbytery is to be held at Halawa, Molokai, the second week of November, beginning on the 7th. The dedication of the newly erected Y. M. C. A. Hall at the leper settlement, the gift of Mr. G. N. Wilcox, has been postponed till probably the 25th of Dec. The Oahu Association of churches met with pastor Davis Oct. 3rd and 4th. The nine churches of the island were represented, though three of the eight pastors were absent. On Wednesday the following week the Kauai Association met with pastor Kopa at VVaimea. The seven churches of the islands were represented and the six pastors wera present. It was with sincere satisfaction that the Board received the announcement of the gift of $35,000 from the S. N. Castle estate. It is a princely legacy to receive, and it will, when put to the account, greatly ease the financial straits of the Board. But lest our friends and patrons should suppose that our necessities have been so relieved by it as to make any further immediate donations for the present to be superfluous, we take occasion to state that the amount is all invested and that only interest on it will be available. The deficit in our treasury —its present entire emptiness— still makes appeal to you. Two pastors on Molokai are greatly in need of a supply of crockery. One of them is about to entertain the brethren of the Maui and Molok.-.i presbytery at their meeting; the writer think he has need ol plates and tea cups, spoons, knives and forks, Two years ago he had not enough dishes to set a table for two after the most primitive fashion. We caught the other brother once making his tea and coffee in the same pot, and that was the kettle. We then bought a separate tea and coffee pot for him. These brethren have eked out a living only as they have raised their own taro, caught their own fish, and had their clothes given them. They are not loaded down with spare cash. For their sakes as well as for others in like need we would be glad of a larger furniture fund for pastors. The old stone church at Waimea, Kauai, which was built by father Rowell, and which has so long stood unoccupied, has been put again to use. It is now the place of meeting for the foreign religious society which has lately been formed on Kauai. A church has not yet been organized but a goodly congregation has been called together. The building, which was once the native church, but which has stood unused for many years, has been repaired and is now a really inviting house of worship. The roadway running past the church has been cleared of rocks and an area has been opened in front of the church steps for the approach of carriages. Along the same road, and not far from the church, is the Kowell homestead, which has just been vacated by Mrs. Rowell. It has been secured as a parsonage for Mr. Boyer, who with his sister, has begun housekeeping. Mother Rowell goes to Southern California to live with her daughters. Not far from the Rowell house and between it and the church, is the vacant lot selected as the building place of a parsonage for the native pastor. It is part of the old Whitney lot. These lots deep with red earth, and once so arid and treeless, are now supplied with water and covered with shade. The rich, productive soil needs only the touch of water and the tiller's hand, that it may bring forth verdure and bloom. The perceptible change which has already been wrought in the moral atmosphere of Waimea, by this fresh development of religious liftis something very pleasant to contemplate. Pastors Taking the Oath of Allegiance. The pastor at Kohala is in trouble because he has felt called upon at last, after long and patient waiting for the situation to clear up, to wait no longer, but to come forward and be an example to his people and show his loyalty and sympathy with the present government by taking the oath of allegiance to it. The pastor at Wailuku also has just done the same, and the pastor at Ktilua and Kahaluu, and they too are in trouble. So also are the pastor at I.ahaina and Kaluaaha, at Kaumakapili and Waianae, becaese they have thrown off all servili ty of feeling to treacherous and dark minded chiefs and have come out square ly for a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. This is a long step for a Hawaiian to take. But seeing at last the necessity of it, and that by the follies and sins of his hereditary chiefs it was unavoidable, many a good native of the soil has taken it in the face of passionate opposition. Other pastors besides these, men who have long since taken the oath, would also be in trouble had they not the distinguished aid of influential leaders in their parishes who are loyal supporters of the republic. These men are the strongest and wis est and best of the Hawaiian pastorate. They are men of pure lives who are seeking to elevate their people. They are the men of the Hawaiian pulpit who have been most outspoken against the 89 sins of their people. They are the men who have exposed the heathen party. Their testimony, given with shamefacedness and sorrow, is in the archives of the Hawaiian Hoard. Though themselves confessing to the taint that once affected their lives, they are now bold in their denunciation of this yet lingering sin. Though once loyal to the throne they are so no longer, for they know the faults of the late government, the sins of court, and cri-ries of legislative halls. And though they have been mostly patient and very slow in breaking with the fractious and unreasonable members of their parishes and boards of deacons, they have at last found it necessary to do so. It is with no arrogance on their part that they have thus come to declare themselves plainly on the side of the republic. Slowly, with painful steps they have come to the act, knowing that after it was done the faces of many would be averted from them. They have felt the necessity of taking this step as leaders of the prejudiced, misguided people. They have taken the step as patriots acting from love of their people and emancipated from any hereditary fear of their chiefs. It is new thought that has taken possession of them and that is beginning to invade the common mind generally, that the right to govern must be accompanied by a right use of power, that there is such a thing as government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Twentythree pastors in the field have so far taken the oath, leaving some ten or so who have not. The ex-pastors, or those at present without charges, are about equally divided in this matter. The opposition which these good men have met in thus taking the oath of allegiance to the republic is indicative of It is not in intelligent B race feeling. svmpalhy with the people as a people, but a sneaking love in some for the old ways, for the peculiar flavor of the old order. There is superstition in it, a fear of the chiefs and old gods, and a relish for the tone of life suggested by the hula. There is in it also a certain jealousy of the foreigner, and so far as the leaders are concerned, an overweening passion which has been long cherished in the past days of corrupt government for the spoils of office. The present state of Hawaiian feeling it must be confessed is largely due to the influence of the late court. Bitterness was bred by it. The long slumbering spirit of heathenism was evoked by it. And since the court is no more, this its wicked work is being carried on by the unscrupulous royalist press. The Hawaiian churches will undoubtedly for a while continue to suffer from these political dissensions, but they cannot in any considerable portion long submit themselves to the royalist lead. That lead is too obvious in its character. It is too vicious to be Hawaiian. It is too �gross to succeed in this day of the world. Race feeling dies hard and superstition lingers on in the shadow of each generation, and the larger thought and the purer faith is of slow growth, but these are sure to come. There is good already come to us. A certain distinction and strength is being bred in the Hawaiian Christian life. These men of influence, who have dared in the face of trouble to declare themselves to their people, will, in the end, gain yet more control over them, and the persistent and criminal efforts being put forth both in public and in private by a few selfish and desperate men will only result in a finer development of Christian character and life.

The mission flag has opened the way for the trader, and made it profitable as well as safe for him. I like to be defi nite on this point, because I have had to fight it out before, and I distinctly state that the mission flag, L. M. S. has preceded the trader in the Society Group, the Austral Group, the Hervey Group, the Samoa Group, the New Hebrides, the Loyalty Group, New Guinea, and many other separate isles of the Pacific. The Wesleyan Society can claim the same for Fiji, Tonga, New Britain and other islands. The Presbyterians, too, have their claim, in the northern part ot New Hebrides. It is perfectly true that the trader pitches his tabernacle under the lee of the missionary in many instances, and there is no antagonism 01 ill-feeling between them. Undoubtedly, there has been a very great increase in trade amngst the islands during the hist thirty-eight years. It was practically nil then, and we so seldom saw a ship other than our own that 'Sail ho!' would bring all hands on deck in double quick time. Very little clothing sufficed on some islands, and that was mostly of a cloth made from the bark of the paper mulberry; on other islands no clothing was worn at all. Trading vessels follow each other so closely, that any group is seldom without two or three cruising in search of island produce, which is paid for by British manufacturers principally, and at central ports ships are continuously loading for Kuropean ports and very frequently for Liverpool with copra, which is the kernel of the cocoanut If there be one thing upon earth that 1 il- ■ Roasters an J dried in the sun.
