My The book tells much of the painful acquaintance with Fuhi began at Hana, trials of youth, and of the severe hard- Maui, in IBGI. In that missionary pastorate of four years, he was my most reliable church elder, always faithful to duty, of sound judgment, deeply devout, and of most consecrated spirit. Although he had enjoyed only common school instruction, he was a master of Scripture knowledge. About the year 1865, it was thought wise to appoint him the pastor of the church at Kipahulu, and he was ordained to that work, in which he served for over twenty years, until age and infirmity removed him. He proved a judicious and efficient pastor. Fuhi was a well grown boy when the first missionaries arrived in 1870. His father was the priest of the famous old heiait of Mookini near the north point of Kohala, and instructed his son in the arts of the kahuna and of idolatry. He may well have espied the Thaddeus when she passed Kohala, March 31, 1820. He learned to abhor the old superstitions with the deepest loathing. ships of pioneer missionary life in Bonabe. More might have been told of his joy in toilsome evangelistic work, and of his winning magnetism in gaining the hearts of the degraded and depressed heathen. Halsey Gulick both as boy and man possessed rare sweetness and loveableness. In manhood he exerted an extraordinary magnetism as a public speaker, with a rich and infectious humor. He was very modest and sensitive, but in the exercise of his duty, of determined courage. Wherever he lived and wrought he was a kindling and quickening force. This book is brightly written and entertaining. One could wish for a fuller account of the rich experiences of his ripe and fruitful maturity. Few men were ever brought into intimate contact with so many phases of missionary labor at distant points, in the Pacific, in Spain and Italy, in Armenia and Bohemia, and later in his rich and noble years of administration and preaching in Japan and China. One craves for a fuller report of those precious years of later life. 41 Number 6. Halsey Gulick, like Samuel Armstrong, both found his inspiration in the joyful devotion of the early missionaries in Hawaii, and also powerfully contributed to deepen in the hearts and lives of other children of Hawaiian missionaries a like loyalty to their fathers' aims, and devotion to the work of uplifting the lowly and establishing righteousness in the land. . Journal of Voyage to Mortlock Is. RByev.Price. FrM.ancis At 3 P.M. of Friday, January 25th, the Morning Star sailed from Rule The passengers were Miss Kinney, the principal of the Girl's Training School, Moses, pastor of the church at Uman, and myself, besides several Ruk and Mortlock boys and girls. After a rough passage we came to rest on Sunday, at 1 i.m., in the beautiful lagoon of Lnkiiiior, 170 miles from Ruk, with ;t population of 850. It is a low strip of land six or seven miles long and half a mile wide. Breadfruit and cocoanuts are about the only products. The people are very poor, but would not exchange their island home for America. They immediately beset the ship in their little canoes with outriggers. At the invitation of the teacher, Johnny, we at once went ashore. The people crowded to shake hands. Zenobia, the teacher's wife, was overjoyed to see Miss Kinney, threw her arms around her neck and wept for joy. There has been a church here for nearly 20 years, and most of the people were decently clad. A crowd of nearly 7j)<) people filled all available space in the church, packed close together sitting on the tloor. We sang together the old hymn, "We praise thee 0 God, etc." They then made the echoes ring with "Jesus, lover of my soul,'' "There shall be showers of blessing,'' and other good tunes. Moses, the old teacher who came to these islands from Fonape nearly 20 years ago, and who is now an ordained minister, settled over our church at Uman in the Ruk lagoon, now arose and greeted the people. He talked to them from home, reJohn 11:1, about the itheavenly was prepared for minding them that all who continued true to the end. Among those who crowded up to shake hands after the meeting were a large number of fine looking boys with only a fringed girdle about the loins. These boys were in the school; many could read in the primer. The next morning �["June, THE FRIEND. 42 1895. we held the great service with a very baptized, eight received into the church, words ; he did not obey my commands; large attendance. I had drawn on a and five couple married. This is the but now since I have adopted him, he is chart, a representation of the two ways home of Shims, who has been a teacher my boy and hears my words and obeys — —the way of life and the way of death and told them what the Bible said of these two ways. Written on the chart were a number of sentences describing the two ways and those that walked in them. I made the people repeat these over and over until they were fixed in their minds. The interest was marked from first to last. When I asked them which way they would choose, they responded, "the way of life." After service the teacher brought to me one of the chiefs of the island who wanted to tell me that he had chosen the way of life. Years ago he was a professed Christian, but had fallen away into deep sin. Ht seemed to be touched with the truth :md earnest in his purpose to come back to the good way. Miss Kinney then had a special meeting with the women in which she spoke to them from a series of pictures representing the life of Christ. She was greatly pleased with the attention given. I was gratified to observe the interest the women took in Miss Kinney. They seemed to regard her as their especial property, and followed her about and hung on her words. One of them called her "God's woman." There were a large number of applicants for church membership; some of them had been on probation for a long time. We examined 21, and continued the others on probation until our return. On Tuesday we had our communion service. A unique feature was the mar riage of thirty-five couples who all stood up together. I married them not in a bunch, but couple by couple. The object of the marriage service in the church is to strengthen the marriage tie which is very loose here. The social problem is the great problem, and everything possible ought to be done to strengthen the sentiment in favor of domestic purity. Sixteen were baptized and 21 received into the church. The communion service was quiet and with many serious and solemn. The membership is 230, large for a heathen island. It was interesting to receive those who had been baptized in infancy. They are walking in the footsteps of their parents. Some of these young people give great promise. VVe left with hearty good wishes of all. Oniop. -Wednesday morning we crossed the lagoon to Oniop, an islet with 300 people. Here the chief is teacher, having been two years in school at Ruk. He is in poor health, but seems faithful. He is the most dignified and naturally refined native I have ever met, but spiritually not all he might be. The church was Crowded, almost all on the island being present. Just before I began my sermon, a portion of the floor, which was packed with women, fell through to the ground. Being less than a foot, no harm was done. I called on them to sing while the people regained their composure, and the service went off nicely. Two were for several years. We took him with us hoping to place him on some island where needed. He seems to have been faithful for many years. Ta. The sea was rough, but the Star came along unheeding our painful sensations, and at five oclock we dropped anchor in the Satoan lagoon near Ta. Next morning February 2nd, we went ashore. The teachers here are Robert and Mary, named for Mr. and Mrs. Logan, in whose family they long were. He came here of his own accord, thinking the people in need of help. He seems to have their respect. This is an old church. Both Mr. Sturges and Mr. Logan worked here, and after them David and Obadia, Ponape teachers. A large church was gathered and instructed in the way of life, but in his late years Obadia grew cold, and it was thought best to order him home. A flock without a shepherd, the people have evidently grown very cold, but still kept up a profession of religion until a few months ago when the Heathen Dance came to the island and swept them nearly all away. Even the old deacon Hezekia and his wife Drusilla, so old and lame that they could hardly go about, were drawn into this low, licentious feast to the devil. It was found that only three besides the teacher and his wife, had refused to bow down to the Baal. After a talk with Robert and Moses I decided to have one service with special reference to this dance. So they were called together and I explained the Ten Commandments from a chart, and then called on Moses. Moses' talk. I had told him that I wanted him to talk to them about the "Puarik," and he was well prepared. He made one of the most sagacious and appropriate talks I ever heard. He began by asking them where the expressions, "good day," "good morning" &c. came from. They answered that the missionaries brought them. Well, he said, these are good things, and all that the missionaries have brought us is good. They teach us to be good ; they bring us good words ; they have never taught us anything wrong. He then referred to Mr. Sturges and Mr. Logan and said they had gone to heaven, but the Lord Jesus was here. Turning from this he spoke of the Bible, that it had only good words, good teaching, and that obedience to the Bible made them better and happier. He spoke of how good God was to provide a home for his people, and reminded them that they were drawing nearer to death every day, and that if they were faithful they would soon be in the heavenly land with the good teachers that had died and with Jesus. He then used a very beautiful illustration. He has an adopted son. Pointing to him, he said, "A few years ago this boy was not mine. Then he did not hear my — me. So you were once away from God, but now are his children, and you ought to hear his commands, and not listen to the evil spirits nor attend feasts in their honor." He referred to the dance, showed how different it was from the church, leading them into sin and breaking up their homes. He closed with an earnest appeal to them to give up this evil. After Moses had spoken, I talked and told them how sorry I was that they had done this great evil, and asked all who were sorry and would give up the dance and all sin to arise. Old Hezekia held up his hand, but I told him he must get up and confess his sin. This he did, as also did about fifty others, and while they were standing, Moses led in a very tender prayer, and the impression setmed to be a good one. Visit to the Chief.— After this meeting, while Miss Kinney held her meeting, Moses and I called on the chief. His house was nearly a mile away, and many followed us. We found his majesty sitting on the ground in his shed like house surrounded by a number of his people. He had a little fire of cocoanut hulls, and was drawn up close to it ft r warmth to his weak body. His aims and legs were enormously swollen with elephantiasis. His hair and beard were white. My heart went out to this worn out old chief whose course in life was so nearly run, as I took his hand anil gave him a warm greeting. I begin the interview, after a few general remarks, with questions about Jesus, the church, and the missionaries. He said that Jesus was very good, and that he believed on Him, and that the missionaries had brought only good to the islands and taught the people good things. "Well," I said, "a few years ago the missionaries came and taught your people about the true God and Jesus the Savior ; a large number of them gave heed to the truth and came into the church, and they have been trying to be good and serve Jesus ever since; but recently the heathen dance has been introduced among you, and your people have been deluded by it, and many of them, because ofthis devil-worship, have become wicked, and have turned away from Jesus and His church." "Now" I continued, "you are the chief of this island, and are responsible for these your people, and I have come, with these around me, to beseech you to put a stop to this dance, and thus prevent your people from being led farther astray." The old man seemed troubled, and after sometime said that it was impossible for him to stop the dance, for he said, "If I do, the people from the adjacent islands, where they have the dance and want it to continue, will come over and fight us, and we shall have a war on our hands." This was probably true, �53, No. 6.] THE FRIEND. for this is the way the devil does his The attention to the sermon was unusually good, and the old chief gave business. "But," I said, "you are now fighting assent to many of thesentiments expressagainst God. You are an old man and ed. But I was not prepared for what must soon die. How can you go to meet followed. As soon as the benediction God, if you serve the devil here, and lead was pronounced, Chief Ahab arose and your people astray ? Uo not fear men turned to the audience, his tall form conhis 43 Vol. them, showing them the wickedness of devil-worship, and of such licentious feasts. Moses talked with them faithfully. I finally told them they must choose for themselves whether they would serve the old gods in the feast and go on in their wickedness, or whether they would forsake their sins and serve God only. It must be God only; not God and the devil. It might seem not difficult for them to see this; but their idea of devil worship is to propitiate him and thus ward off evil. Yet there is the licentious part of the feast; but it is easy for this people to persuade themselves that it is right to indulge their passions. It was a difficult task. Had it not been for the presence of the Holy Spirit it would have been an impossible task to convince these old men that they had greviously sinned ; but I think it was done. They all turned to the chiefs who were present and asked them to decide. One decided at once, but the other, a stubborn old fellow of the name of Noah, hesitated. All urged him to decide, and he finally yielded; and these nine old men gave their pledge that they would put down Puarik, even if it meant war, and be true to the Church. Moses offered prayer, and one of the old men was moved to tears. Indeed I felt my own eyes fill with tears as I talked with them and saw how completely they had been deceived by the arch enemy of men. At our suggestion they called Shima to be their teacher. He had once been of their tribe. The last teacher had been a Ruk boy, whose wife fell into sin, and caused his downfall. The sin of those leaders largely accounts for the deplorable state of this church. In the afternoon Moses exposed the sins of the puarik aptly instancing the case of the golden calf. At another service the next morning the attention was good, and the people seemed to be more intelligent than on some of the other islands. There is a large company of young men and women, whom Shima thinks he can gather into the school. Miss Kinney said she found the women unusually intelligent. We endeavored to strengthen the things that remain, and believe that the Master was with us. The people seemed very cordial as they bid us good and do evil, because they may try to in- spicuous in the large crowd, and jure you, but fear God only and do right, white hair giving him a venerableappearand The Great Ann will take care of you. ance, and exhorted them to give earnest You had better have a war than do wrong heed to the words that had just been and sin against God" The old man spoken, and urge them to refrain from was agitated and turning to Moses he evil ways and live according to the chart asked him about what I had said.

As soon as he finished, made it very plain to him, and the chief Moses cried out, "good, good !" and I said very decidedly that he would stop went to him and gave him a hearty shake it. Moses said "Tell your people so." and "God bless you," and Miss Kinney He turned to the people and said in a came and took him by the hand. The chief is said to be well known loud voice, that there should be no more and his puarik on the island, and then lowering throughout the Mortlock Island influence is very great. His hearty his voice, he told me the same story. I then spoke to him about his personal endorsement of the truth must have a salvation and asked him if he did not very decided effect not only on his people, want us to pray with him. He said yes, but on those of the other islands. There are 82 in this church, much less and we kneeled down on the ground, and Moses earnestly besought the Lord than of old. The teacher seems much for this old chief. I asked him if he concerned about temporal things, and would help the church on his island and needs to experience in his own heart the take care of the teacher and his family, presence and power of the Holy Ghost. and after he had promised, we bade him Four were received into the church and five placed on probation. One girl of good-by, and returned to the ship. The next morning we had our last fifteen, baptized in infancy, an orphan service on shore. Just as I was ready child of faithful parents, is a consistent to open it, the old chief appeared at the Christian. She has a sweet face, but door. It was a pathetic sight to see the with lower limbs sadly deformed by old man, who could scarcely walk, crawl elephantiasis.

It ened persons in America who try to filled with as bright a company as we had met in the islands; eager school boys seems that a widow cannot stand against serve two masters. I wanted to be charitable with these and girls intent on all that was said, and the temptations to evil. Sunday morning we held our great people, and at the same time convince a goodly number of well-dressed Chrisservice using the chart of the two ways. them of their sin. I labored long with tians, orderly and intelligent. A careful �inquiry into the case of Damaris, teacher Ezra's wife, appeared to establish her entire innocence. The condition of the work showed great faithfulness on the part of Ezra and Damaris. The next morning eleven were examined and admitted to the Church. There has been no dance on the island lor many months. Ezra is less educated than some of the other teachers, but has more physical vigor, and is pushing the work with energy. He needs a few months of study at Anapauo. Etal, Early Wednesday morning we sailed out of Satoan lagoon and on to Etal ten miles away. There being no passage into the lagoon the Star stood off and on after landing us in a high sea. We spent a pleasant and busy day ashore. The island is on the reef of a small lagoon, semi-circular in shape, with 100 inhabitants. The teacher Maipok, and his wife Samarina, have been here about a year. He lacks physical force, and has been less attentive to his duties than he ought, but I trust he is a genuinely pious man. Our work here was without special incident. Five were received into the church, three backsliders restored, and two couple baptized. One old woman who had formerly been a Christian was to stand up with the others and be formally restored to church membership. In the examination she lacked a shoulder garment, and I suggested to the teacher that she he asked to put on one for the afternoon service. She had no garment, but was equal to the occasion. When I called her name, she came forward with a cotton coverlet wrapped about her shoulders. She must have suffered not a little with the heat, but endured it to the end with becoming fortitude. During the interval between services, I went for a walk and saw the natives climb the largest breadfruit trees, many of them sixty feet to the first limb. They tie a stone to a string, throw it over a limb, and draw up a large rope, seizing which they run up the tree with great ease. The breadfruit is especially fine on this island. A large one roasted was greatly enjoyed at lunch. Namaluk. At 5 i>. m. our work here was done, and we sailed for Namaluk forty miles away, reaching there after a rough passage at eight a. m. Pulling over a mile to the passage in the reef, the high breakers forbade any attempt to enter, and we returned to our rolling ship. The teacher came off and got his goods, having waded through the break ers. I learned from him that the work is in a rather low condition, and a great many of the Christians have turned away from the faith. We exhorted the teacher Ira to be faithful, bade him adieu, and at once our ship got under weigh for Lvsap, 60 miles away. Saturday morning at nine o'clock we reached the quiet little lagoon of this island where there is a fine anchorage and a delightful place to spend Sunday. On this lagoon are two inhabited islands, Losap with a THE FRIEND. population of 300, and Peace with 200. The church we visited is at Losap. The deacon Samuel came aboard the Star just as we were leaving Ruk, and had been all round with us. He was a good deal stirred, and when we came ashore at noon, ran about and gathered the people in for a service. A housefull soon assembled. We greeted them, sang and prayed with them, and endeavored to turn their hearts toward the truth. The service over, we attended to some business matters, one of which was to talk with deacon Samuel about a business he was engaged in which, tho profitable, did not conduce to the prosperity of the church. They have a certain shrub in Ruk. whose root produces a coloring matter from which they make a paint, which they use to paint their bodies hideously. This paint is prized by the heathen, but the Christians are admonish ed not to use it. It is a great temptation to them. Years ago some of the teachers began trading in it, because it was profitable, but being remonstrated with by Mr. Logan, gave it up. Lately Samuel, who is somewhat of a trader, has gone into the business, and the teachers of the Southern islands asked me to speak with him about it. After the service,' 1 called the deacons about me, talked with them about the condition of the church, commended them for their faithfulness, and reminded them of the rewards of their fidelity; and then, turning to Samuel, I asked him about this business. I told him it deceived the people, that its use was usually the first step into sin, that it robbed the people of their money, and did them no good, and that I did not think it right for him to sell it: He said at once, "I will give it up." This was delightful, and I commended him for his prompt and hearty decision. Moses then spoke to him very kindly, and we left them for the ship, the deacons evidently being in the best of spirits. On Sunday morning I gave the usual discourse on the two ways and the audience was large. Miss Kinney reported unusual attention on the part of the women, and Esther and Emma, two of her girls, had an interesting service with the children. The next morning we sailed bright and early for Noma, our last stopping place and nine miles from Losap. As we drew near about nine o'clock, we saw a crowd of children on the shore, and soon we heard them singing, "Welcome to the MornWe went ashore, but could ing Star.'' not get over the reef with our boat; so the natives came in canoes to get us. When they found the water 100 shallow, they lifted up the canoe and carried us, canoe and all, to the shore amid much merriment. Our welcome here was most enthusiastic. The teacher, Alek, is a very pleasant man, with a happy face and a hearty manner, and he has imparted much of his sweetness of spirit to the people. The island is small and the population about 300. [June, 1895 The people seem to live better than in some of the other islands. The houses were clustered close together, and some of them looked comfortable, but the greater part were like those of the Mortlock group. The eaves of the gable roofs came down to the ground, the gables sometimes boarded up and sometimes covered with thatch, and a little hole in the end admits the owner to this little dark abode which they call home. Very little like a home, but it is all the home they know. The services here were also well attended, though there were not so many boys as there were in other places. Seven persons were admitted to the church and one couple married. Among those received to the church was a bright young man who had married Rhoda, the daughter of the teacher. She had been educated in the school at Ruk, but went home to marry this man, who was not a Christian. It seems that she has won him to Christ, and it was a pleasure to learn of their welldoing and to receive them both into the church. Here we met also Carrie Bray, who was educated in Miss Fletcher's school and who married , who was sent out as a teacher and fell. She remained firm for a long time, but finally yielded to the temptations around her and went into sin. Now she wants to come back and seems very earnest about it. If her repentance is genuine she will doubtless accomplish her husband's redemption within a few years. I think that the work on Losap and Nama is as hopeful as in any of the Mortloek Islands, and I have great hopes for Alek and his wife Alexandrina that they will continue in the good way, and good results ensue. At half-past five we set sail for home, and at 10 a.m. on Tuesday the Morning Star was gently rocking in the lagoon in front of our house. We were absent 18 days, held 25 meetings, besides the meetings for women, which were as important and fruitful as any we held, on nine different islands. We came away from each island leaving the people feeling kindly toward us, and we hope with new inspiration for the Master's service. It is good to be at home again, away from the rocking ship and the gaze of curious natives. The voyage was altogether pleasant, without accident, without trouble of any kind, and, so far as I know, without an unkind word being said to us. Forty live were baptised, 57 received into the church, and 4 2 couples were married. We came home to find that a very wicked man hail started the dance here, and some of the choice young men had gone astray, but some had remained faithful, and in this we rejoiced. - 44 Few at home can realize what a blessing the Morning Star is to these people. While those who have given their money are busily engaged about �Vol. 53, No. 6.] their own affairs, this good ship, built and sustained by their generosity, is sailing from island to island, carrying gracious messages of the love of God, and bringing not only help to Chris tians, but cheer and gladness to all. It is a beautiful picture to see this, to them, great ship lying at anchor in the lagoons and the crowds going and coming in their canoes. God will not forget this labor of love for these, His long-neglected people, whom " Satan has bound lo ! these many years." Ruk, February 15, 1895.

Twenty-five veterans of the Dc Long Post were the chief actors. Three hundred of the well-drilled National Guards and 200 of the U. S. naval forces made a noble array.

He well said : " I sometimes think that a man's patriotism increases as the square of the distance he is from home. Certain it is, that nowhere, not even in Faneuil Hall itself, is there to be found more intense Americanism, more devotion to the principles that America typifies and represents, than are today found in the Republic of Hawaii."

Several hundred joined in their procession through the streets, and a crowded multitude attended the exercises at Independence Hall. May those most remarkable events of the past year hasten the complete emergence of this noble and interesting nation into the full light of Christianity, towards which their eyes seem to be very generally turned. Official Visit to the Leper Settlement. A large company of gentlemen visited Kalaupapa and Kalawao, spending the whole day of the 25th at this pleasant homes of the lepers. Besides a quorum of the Board of Health, were ten physicians, Bishop Willis, Pastor Birnie, Father Leonor, the Marshal, Captain Cochrane, Prof. Berger of the Band, and several others. The last two gentlemen went to present to the leper band the instruments procured chiefly by the avails of Captain Cochrane's �June,1895. THE FRIEND. 46 stereopticon lectures. The lepers were delighted and grateful. Captain Coch rane made athem one of his taking speeches. A thorough inspection was made of in the settlement. The visitors were surprised and pleased with the remarkable attractiveness and com fort of the whole place. Very great improvement was manifest as growing during the past five years. The Bald win Home, the Bishop Home, and the water-works were specially commended. A hopefully successful effort was made to harmonize a long standing quarrel between two factions of the Y. M. C. A., for whom a good hall has been provided. A great improvement was noticeable in the general health of the lepers, due to special medical aid of 1 ite years. No effectual cure for the disease is yet in sight, although it is greatly mitigated by medical treatment. Ambrose Hutch inson, the superintendent, and for fifteen years a leper, appears in better health now than he did ten years ago. No toxic secretion of the bacillus leprae is found to be available for cure, as Hi diphtheria, tetanus, and other maladies. It is hoped that some vegetable or other specific cure may yet be discovered. everything Minister L. A. Thurston.

The offence charged against Mr. Thurston was in his permitting a press representative to see a letter from Honolulu which blamed the Administration as having by their policy encouraged the late insurrection. The reporter immediately told Mr. Gresham what he had seen, although it was not published. The offense may seem a very doubtful one, but Mr. Thurston's attitude for two years of vigorously defending his government had been extremely hateful to the administration who had sought to destroy it. Henct the first pretext was used for his removal. The only wonder is that he had stayed so long. The reporter was evidently a spy used by Gresham to entrap Thurston. Prosperous Hawaiian Finances.

This gentleman arrived here May 3rd t and was immediately appointed by President Dole to the chief command of the military forces of this Government. Col. McLean is a graduate of 187.' from the Naval Academy at Annapolis. He is said to possess exceptional military and executive ability. He served twelve years as an officer of marines. In sending for such an officer to command their forces, the Government are seeking both efficiency and economy in their military department. Secretary Gresham has refused to interpose in the case of John F. Bowler, claiming to be an American citizen, on the ground that in taking the oath of allegiance to Kalakaua, without reservation of allegiance to his former country, he had forfeited his American citizenship. Lord Kimberly has made a similar decision in the case of A. M. Hewett, claiming to be a British subject. In the cases, however, of T. B. Walker and W. H. Rickard, Lord Kimberly held that they intended to reserve their rights as British subjects, although their oaths made no mention of such intent. This Government is understood to have found documents on file which fully establish the identity of their cases with that of Hewett.

They were packed in eleven boxes and valued at $3,000. Missionary Gleaners' Lawn Party. At Hon. W. R.

I This page b .towtad lo the interests of the Hawaiian ■ward of Mission-,...ml thr Editor, appointed by the Board, is responsible for ils roiitrnis. Rev. 0. P. Emerson, - - Editor. At the Japanese Mission Church in the Lyceum, Rev. Jiro Okabe, pastor, there were received in the church fourteen on profession and four by letters of dismission from other churches, making a total membership of eighty-six at the present time. A celebrated penitential sermon was preached on one occasion by Fra Rocco, a Dominican. The hearers were in terror and fell on their knees, showing every sign of contrition, and the preacher cried: "All those who are truly penitent, hold up your hands." Every man in the vast multitude held up his hand. Then he said: "Holy Archangel Michael, thou who standest with adamantine sword at the judgment seat of God, cut me off every hand which has been held up hypocritically." Every hand dropped. Renovation of Kawaiahao Church. This famous old "Stone Church was dismantled last month to the bate walls, preparatory to complete restoration. All except heavy stone partitions were removed. New floor timbers are laid. New roof trusses have been set in place. The old roof timbers, of eastern pine, are a strange marvel of thorough honey combing by white ants, rivalling any ship planking bored by teredo. It is simply a wonder that the roof has held up, and did not collapse bodily years ago, so complete has been the work ol the insidious insects. The cost of renovation is estimated at $13,000, of which about two-thirds have been subscribed. Mr. and Mrs. Theophilus Davies have contributed $l/)00. The new roof ought to last another half century. accommodation for day school and kindergarten instruction. The teachers are wonderfully in earnest and enthusiastic. The scholars are remarkably bright and capable. The work is peculiarly full of hope and promise. And yet it is seriously crippled for lack of room. More pupils apply for admission than can be received. It is highly important that this situation should be fully understood and the need satisfied. The following plan is proposed: (I) Build a larger house for Church and Sabbath School services. (-') Convert the present Church into the much needed school building. But this takes money, and we are obliged to appeal to the benevolently disposed for it. The Hawaiian Board, under whose auspices this Mission is conducted, cannot assume this burden in addition to its other extensive Mission work in these and other Islands of the Pacific, for Hawaiians, Japanese, Chinese, Marquesans and Gilbert Islanders The Portuguese constitute about onesixth of the population of these Islands, and are rapidly increasing. More are coming from abroad. They are a strong, sturdy race. They have come to stay. Full rights of citizenship have been accorded to them, and they are, therefore, destined to hold a very strong influence here. They should have the best of secular and religious instruction. These Islands must be held for Christ. Can you, and will you, help to this end, by contributing to our need for greater accommodations ? We enclose certificates of contribution, with blank space for name of donors. Although one dollar has been named in these certificates, in the hope that many will give as much as that, it is not intended to deter those who wish to give more. All contributions, large or small, will be thankfully received. VVe believe the work is of God. "He loveth a cheerful giver." Remittances may be made to Mr. VV. \V.
