A most inspiring time was enjoyed on the afternoon and evening of Friday, the 26th, by Christian workers of this city who met at the Central Union Church. After a bible reading on "Growth in Grace" led by Mr. I.eadingham, Rev. O. H. Gulick gave an account of the progress made in the Japanese Mission of the Hawaiian Board, with its organized churches in Hilo and Honolulu, and its seven evangelists laboring in other districts. The Hawaiian woik was described by Miss Green, especially the influence of the Training Schools in moulding Hawaiian society. Rev. A. Y. Soares recounted the great success of Protestant work among the Portuguese. Their schools and congregations have entirely outgrown their build, ings. The President of the VV. C. T. U., Mrs. J. M. Whitney, set forth their 'Temperance Work, and the prospect of a united effort an M. £. Church, and of their cordial co-nperatiou with other Christians. The Salvation Army was represented by Adjutant Egntr, who gave most encour aging statistics of their work in this city. They ;ire evidently doing a great and bltssed work among the fallen and suficring classes. They are now giving especial attention to the Hawaiians, who are greatly victimized by the saloons. In an evening session, several short addresses were made by Messrs. Kirnie. Corbett, Bishop, Harris and Damon. Dr. Harris urged to seek the anointing of the Spirit. Mr. Corbett spoke of an invitation sent to the evangelist C H. Yatman to spend three weeks in Honolulu. Mr. Damon spoke of the Chinese work and the great promise of the Chinese youths in the Mills' Seminary. This bringing t"gether and briefly selling forth of the many lines of active and successful work in saving souls nuw carried on here, was most inspiring, and tilled all present with a holy enthusiasm. As Dr. Harris said, we felt that we "were on consecrated ground." Catholic Persecutions. In the Catholic Times of Philadelphia appears the following from its Paris letter: "The first batch of soldiers left Tans this weeK lor Madagascar. * * I learn that so tar the Catholic religion has not suffered on account of the approaching French invasion. The expedition, indeed, from the Catholic point of view is most desirable. The Pu tcstant sects have had their own way there far t»U long.

Kusaie, Caroline Islands, Micronesia, I January 15th, 1*95. ) Dear Home Friends: —Once more it is near the sailing time of the "Star.'' This is Tuesday and she sails Friday going by way of Ruk. This year for the first time since I came to Micronoaia I am obliged to admit to myself and you all that I am unable to finish and copy my journal better. I expect to send it at a later date by some chance ship. The year has been a full one for me with about seven months in the boys' school, about four or perhaps five weeks here in the girls' school, and thirteen weeks of sea life. So much about myself. Since the journal must wait I thought I would write you just a few scraps from it which may give you little glimpses into the lives of some of our people. In choosing these characters I would not give you a false idea of our people in making you think that they are all faithful and true, but 1 would have you know that here among the multitude of things which in themselves might seem dark, there are bright and beautiful things which cheer our hearts and make us feel that we are rewarded here in this life. I will not try this time to say anything about our beloved Jeramaia whose very presence seems like a benediction and whose prayers seem to bring heaven down to us or perhaps better to lift us up to God. I shall never forget how he worked carrying stones to the stern of the ship the night the "Morning Star" ran upon the rocks at Namo and lay there fast until morning, nor shall I ever forget his prayer of thanksgiving in morning prayers, when the dear old ship was fairly under way again. He said: "Now, oh Lord, we know truly that we are Thy people, and this is Thy ship, and that this is Thy work, for Thou hast saved us this day." I never knew a more Christ-like man in his treatment of the fallen. One young man who had fallen under sudden temptation said: "If I can only stay with Jeramaia for a year, I can begin anew, I shall be strong again," and Jeramaia took him home with him, Some day I want to tell you more of this man. The German Governor says:"The chiefs all like Jeramaia, the traders all like Jeramaia, the people all like Jeramaia, and the Governor likes Jeramaia." Perhaps Te Raoi is the Jeramaia of the Gilbert group though he is quite different in temperament. He Has a little eleven �[May, THE FRIEND 34 1895 the story, he said, Nei Abana shall have in the girls' school that would look at me another dress.

Whenever they thought a boat was leaving the "Star" they would rush off into the bush and hide with her." The first night they staid out in the bush until quite late, taking her to the place where she was to sleep about midnight. She prayed that it it were right for her to go that night she might waked up while it was yet dark, and then lay down to sleep. It was diylight when she woke up. Tne second day pass ed and at night she prayed the same as before. She did wake up before daylight. She kneeled down and prayed lirsi, and then went as I have already told you. Her people did not come to inquire about her again. Her father was reported as having said he did not care anything about her any more, as she had not cared enough about him to say "good bye" before she left, and added a little later that he would have kept her had he seen her. We had thought we could not possibly take more than one girl from Nonouti, but when we saw the state of things on the island, the famine caused by the lack of rain, the opposition t ffered to our work by the Cnhol cs, we determined to take tvery worthy and desirable girl who was ready to g 1 to school and who was not held by her parents. So it fell out that we took seven new girls from Nonouti. They were nearly all quite remarkable cases. Two of them had been Ing "persecuted for righteousness sake," one of them having been burned with fire, perhaps better, tormented with fire to make her marry a heathen. Some few examples like these make us blush with shame if the thought ever passed through our mind that the seed might not be falling on good ground. Do not imagine that the list of my heroes and heroines is exhausted—far from it. One thing is nearly exhausted, that is the night —my time of writing,—and I will say "good-night" before it is "good morning." Y. M. C. A. Annual Meeting. 'This meeting was held April i ith. From the Reports presented, we glean the leading facts as follows, showing an excellent condition of the important work of this Association. $4278.73 were expended during the year, leaving a balance of $58.05. 227 religious services were held, with an average attendance of 53 persons. The average attendance at the Sabbath Evening Praise Services was 78. Services at the Jail were discontinued during Martial Law. The Temperance Committee is anxious for the closing of all the sal ons for the sake of the Hawaiians, but believes that public sentiment is not strong enough to attempt it. It is hoped that something may be done by the coming Legislature to mitigate the evil. At the Reading Room is an average daily attendance of 160. Over 1000 volumes are in the Library, of which 549 May, 1895. THE FRIEND. have been in circulation during the year. The tables are supplied with a full variety of latest magazines and papers. Classes in book-keeping, type-writing and shnrt-hand have been kept up. A number of public entertainments have been given. 'The Boys' Library is in constant use. Four socials and entertainments have been given the boys, and 40 boys, gospel meetings. 325 ships have been visited, and 12,000 papers distributed. Three receptions have been given to sailors. 38 applicants out of 208 have been found work by the Employment Committee. Many destitute men received meal tickets. Many letters from the Stateslnquiring for chances of employment have been answered. A Committee on Physical Training is to be added on account of the new Gymnasium now building. Secretary Corbett takes luir months leave of absence during which he will take some lessons in gymnasium work. Mr. F. J. Lowrey succeeds Mr. C. B. Ripley as President of the Y. M. C. A. Rev. C. M. Hyde, D.D. This eminently useful and devoted missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. at Hono'ulu has been most ignorantly made an object of attack by Mr. Thos. G. Shearman of Brooklyn, N. V., which attack has been made conspicuous in the N. Y. Evening Post. It is deemed fitting that The Friend should bear testimony to the high tsteem in which Dr. Hyde's character and services are universally held in this city and country. For eighteen years he has most ably and successfully fulfilled the duties of Principal of the North Pacific Missionary Institute, in which he has performed the chief part in the instruction of the young men preparing for the ministry among the Hawaiian Churches and as missionaries to the Gilbert Islands. Of the nearly fifty Hawaiian past, rs and missionaries now in active service, about fur fifths have graduated from under Dr. Hyde's instruc tion. Their earnest and devuted spirit testifies to his admirable instructs n and example, and to the wisdom and efficiency with which he has diigently wrought year by year f r the upbuilding of Christian character and intelligence in his pupils. In other labors also Dr. Hyde has been abundant, visiting the churches, wisey counselling and inspiring their pastors, and lending aid to every good work in the city and the country. Dr. Hyde has an unusual degree of executive and organizing talent, and is unwearied in labur. As he his been stigmatized as "only a paid agent" of the American Board, it is appropriate to mention that some time ago Dr. Hyde gave up his own salary to be applied to the support of another missionary coadjutor, and is now dependant wholly on private resources, except the use of his house, which belongs to the Board. Cruel Foot-Binding. 1 he question is forcing itself upon pub lie attention, whether Chinese mothers in this country are any longer to be permuted to torture their young daughters by binding their feet. 'Their motive is to fit their children lor good social position. They do it out of mistaken kindness, but it is notwithstanding a dreadful cruelty. process of prolonged agony, and it It makes its victims unhappy cripplts for life. On April 12th a child in Fowler's yard died of lock-jaw after some week; of this torture. For several days her cries had been frightful. If Chinese enjoy the privileges of residence here, may they not be required to conform to our conception of the demands of humanity, and to abstain from obvious cruelties ? One does not wish to violate the Chinese sense of what is fitting, but are they to be allowed to rend our ears with anguish fur the agonies their children are enduring among us? It would seem that this evil ought to be suppressed. If the Chinese cannot comply with civilized sentiments in this matter, let them be take themselves elsewhere. Big Rainfall at Hana. Mr. Gjerdrum, manager of Hana Plan tation on the east end of Maui, reports the rainfall by his Negretti and Zambra rain guage, on April 16th, as follows: (Elevation 200 feet): 6:00 a. m. to 12:30 p. m.—4.80 inches. 2:30 p. m. to 2:00 p. m.— 7-75 inwhes. 2:00 p. m. to 2:20 p. m.—2.00 inches. 2:20 p. ni. to 4:30 p. in. —4 55 |n< hls 4:30 p. m. lo 7;3o p. m.— 058 imhts. 7:30 p. m. 10 6:00 a. m. 1.45 inches. — 21.13 inches. Twenty one inches of rain in 24 hours is very unusual even in the tropics. But 7.75 inches in one hour and a half is some thing quite unheard of. At 1800 feet elevation there were only three inches of rain. Excessive rainfall occurred at the same dale in the HIIO district 1 f Hawaii, 80 wnlrs south east of Hana. Mr. Gjerdrum says "we commenced studying how Noah's ark was made. Total ' It will be interesting for T. G. Shear man's friends to know that out »f 101 Cabinet Ministers since 184a, only eight were missionaries or sons of missionaries. These men were Dr. Judd, Dr. Richard Armstrong, A. F Judd, W. N.

"The sons of Protestant missionaries in all mission lands are not only worse than iheir fathers, but they are the veriest ruf nans that evei wine a white skin." 'Hawaii belongs in America.

On April i 2th, in answer to a number of protesting letteis which it publishes, the Standard in a becoming manner, confes sed that it had been entirely mistaken in its facts. Hon. Gorham I). G'lman was especially instrumental in enlightening the Standard. It is evident that th.a paper erred through | lire ignorance, and that it had been wilfully misled by some party un known. As there is evidently a concerted effort to produce very malign representations on this subject, we make a lew state nients for the use of friends abroad. The character of missionaries' sons needs no defense in Honolulu. The suns of missionaries now residing in Hawaii are all well known, and most of them somewhat conspicuous in this community. Most of them are leading citizens, a few of them wealthy, two or three being millionaires, mainly by their own un aided Lb rs, t x rted in the most honorable nanner. We challenge any pers' n to deny that thtse men are as a class, thoroughly honorable, trustworthy and public spirited, or to say that they are nt as a class, men of pure lives and blameless record. More than this, every one knows that these men stand among the highest of the community in character. 'They are among those most looked to and trusted, and re sorted to for help in every good work.

It is these men, and a larger body inti mately ass dated with them, all sneered at as "missionaries," who have been for thirty years steadily nuintaining and extending the work of education and uplift ing which their faiht rs left. 'Their personal eontribiiti ns of -money are not less than $30,000 per annum f >r mission and school work It is believed that there is no Christian community on the globe with a larger degree of consecration to Christian work than that to which these missionary "cousins" belong. The Missionaries and their children have done the best they knew, to combat the vices and weaknesses which have been destroying the Hawaiian people.

A large variety of excellent music was furnished by perf nners on different instruments, including mandolinand lunj \ the latter of which especially stirred tun aesthetic sensibilities. The building was elegantly draped with flags. The scenes exhibited were in great variety and artistic ally executed. Of special interest was the landing and deploying of a U. S.

Missionaries' Just now there seems to be making in the Eistern States, an assault all along the line up"n the character of the sons Off missionaries in these Islands.

"Earnest, honest, brave, narrow-guage ( Christians of the old-fashioned, cold, cruel, callous ty|ie, hell-loving and heaven-fearing men."
