Sociology is becoming of late a leading study in theological seminaries. It has come to be felt that Christian pastors must take no neutral part in the great social questions of.the day. They must be equipped to teach sound opinions upon all questions involving duty and righteousness. Sociology deals chiefly with the relations of wealth and poverty. It seeks to learn how to mitigate and remedy the great evils which attend a faulty distribution of wealth, making a few immensely rich, and H multitude miserablypoor. We are Dot learned in Sociology. As a science it does not appear yet to. have attained great exactness. Many mighty minds are laboring to develop it. Churchmen ami statesmen both are wrestling with its problems. But we feel moved to write a tew words to our rich men, of whom we have a number among us". Some ot them are truly good men and devout Christians. The desire rises warmly that they may so conduct their lives in their pos- session of earthly wealth that they may also have a noble share of those riches which belong to the coming life, but to the attainment of which mundane wealth is quite unfavorable. While it may reasonably be hoped that some of our rich men will rank well among the high placed saints in heaven, it is only too sadly apparent that others are miserably handicapped, and have poor prospect of reaching that place at all. Our Lord and Master had tew encouraging words for rich men. His hopeful, cheering words were for lhe poor. He held out to the rich small prospect in the kingdom ol God. None at all. in fact, unless they unsparingly and cheerfully distributed of their wealth to the needs til their brethren and of the Devotion to Lord's kingdom. wealth, to acquisition, to accumulation was Christ's abhorrence. Cupidity, covetousness. greed for gain, was deadly sin to be forsaken. "Ye cannot serve God and mammon," was His lesson. And yet Christianity recognizes a worthy possession and administration of wealth in humble stewardship for God, and generous, faithful employment of it for the needs of God has given to the kingdom. some men special talent for developing sources of wealth in ways that contribute grandly to the general good, while they enrich the conductor. To any who have come honorably and worthily into the possession of wealth, Paul directs the through Timothy : exhortation "Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not high-minded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that Number 9. they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed." Yes, that life of heaven is " life indeed." It is the only true and blessed living while on earth, to be in communion and fellowship with God. The life which rich fools lead is vanity and ashes —the life of yachts, racing, gambling, sensual pleasure—of display, style, gayety, " society " —of palaces, equipages, millionaire grandeur. Multitudes of poor men are rich in the precious secrets of divine love, while the wealthy waste their lives in vexation of spirit. But those wealthy ones may also become rich in God's joy and peace—by giving all up to God and holding all wealth for His service. Dr. Hyde contributes in this number an admirable description of the leper settlement on Molokai, which he has often visited on errands of spiritual and social help. Large Gifts for Education. Through a San Francisco paper a fact has escaped from the secrecy in which it has been held, that Hon. Charles R. Bishop was preparing to donate a very large amount of money for educational and benevolent uses in these Islands. It is certainly near or over three-fourths of a million. "May this generous giver be unspeakably enriched in his inward spiritual experience, thus being one of the truly rich. Greig and Marshall Pardoned. \V. H. C. Greig and Louis Marshall were in Oahu Prison under sentences of fifteen years and JftOOO fine for treason, having been officers in tht rebel force in the action of January 7th. They are quite youthful. Both have been sick with typhoid in the Queen's Hospital. The President has pardoned them on condition of leaving the countiy. Both sailed last week for San Krancisco. Their pardon appeared to be necessary to the mental courage needed for re- covery. �Septmbr, 1895. THE FRIEND. 66 . . The Settlement is as bright and peace Boys and 114 in the Bishop Home for Girls.

In fact, the interest of the Evangelical Churches in the welfare ol the lepers has been a chief factor in the progress and prosperity of the Settle ment. Hon. ('. K.

The lay brother, J. W. Datton, for merly of Racine, Wisconsin, and during the War of Secession connected with the 13th Wisconsin Regiment, is a man of marked force of character.

There is work enough to be done, though it be less than a hundred to whom these brothers devoted their lives. Only constant diligence and untiling energy can accomplish what needs to be done. Since 1887, when the Gibson Kala kaua period of misrule came to an end, the administration of affairs at the set dement has been conducted on better business principles. The result is less ol dissatisfaction and complaint from tin lepers. The system of water supply might have been better in some few particulars but it is a systematic supply of good water. 'The virulence of the disease is apparently abating. When it first bioke out, five years formed the limit of duration of the disease. There are some lepers who- have been at the settlement 25 years. Both forms, the anesthetic and the suppurating, are about equally prevalent. Success in dealing with the disease so far seems to have been on the line of building up the general health of the lepers, rather than in killing off the germs, vegetable not animal, the ho, tilt lepra', of this specific disease.

Women that have lost their fingers can be helped by men whose hands are still whole. Women who are blind may have some one to care for them. No one can visit the settlement without devout thanks giving for personal exemption from such a calamity, and for all that has been done in the way of ameliorating the condition of these unfortunates. Twenty fat beeves and 800 bundles of fresh paiat are delivered every week at the settlement. The lepers also raise pigs tn Hawaiian fashion; and keep Cable Contract Ratified. I Ith August, the Legislature made by the Government with Col. Zephamah S. Spalding, for laying 'Telegraphic Cables. Much hope is felt that this contract will result in securing to us telegraphic communication with San Francisco in a little over three years. The leading features of the contract are succinctly as follows 'This Government grants to Col. Spalding the exclusive privilege for twenty years of landing upon Hawaiian shores a Cable from any point on the North American Continent, such exclusive right not to prevent foreign governments from landing cables for other than commercial purposes. 'This Government also promises to pay an annual subsidy ol forty thousand dollars. They also grant exemption from Taxes, Duties ami Port charges to Cable Ship, with right of free occupation of Government lands, right of way across them, and right of Eminent I lomain toappropriate property needed for Cable uses. The Contractor on his part undertakes to lay a Cable connecting San Francisco and Honolulu 2500 miles long with 400 pounds of copper to the mile. Also Inter island Cables with land connections complete, all to be in foil operation by December Ist, I8«.»8. Rates shall not exceed one dollar per word to San Francisco. Official messages of the Hawaiian Government transmitted free up to the amount of its subsidy.

HAWAIIAN BOABJX - - ■ �THE FRIEND. 72 History of the Honolulu Cholera Alarm. This city has just passed through a week of severe tension, fearing that a reported presence of Asiatic cholera might become epidemic. The earlier history of the case is best given in an official statement of the Hawaiian Board of Health to the United States ConsulGeneral FJlis Mills, dated August J Ist " The steamer Belgic arrived al this port August 9th, eleven and one-half days from Yokohama, having on board from that port MM Chinese immigrants. She reported three deaths on the voy age, giving as causes of death, pneu monia in one case, and heart disease in : two cases. " The Chinese were landed in ijuar Sntine, one man being sick with gastio intestinal disturbance at the time. He died the day after being landed. Two other cases of gastio intestinal disturb ance developed the day the hist case died. Of these one recovered, and the third, an old man, died of exhaustion four days later. One young Chinaman became sick the third day attei landing, and died the following day. "All these cases presented the symp toms of gastro enteritis, anil were considered cholera morbus. "No other suspicious cases have developed since the last case,which died August 17th. cases of cholera morbus, with death, have developed in Iwilei, Honolulu, since Sunday, the IHth. -William O. Smith, Board of Health." President " " Five one No other cases of sickness of an\ kind afterwards appeared on (Quarantine is.and. The four cases above named did not present the " rice water " symp torn of cholera, all the excreta being colored. At no time were they thought to be cases of Asiatic cholera. It is farther proof that they were not such, that among the remaining s:tft Chinese immigrants no more cases appeared. After the above official repoi t was written, a sixth case of the disease ap peared, which proved fatal. 1 his victim, likfe the other five, was from Iwilei, but was attacked on Nuuanu street, and died at a place opposi is the Fagle House. Two more cases appeared on the 'J-lth, one a man at Iwilei, who recovered, and a young man living on Cjueen street, near the office of the Board of Health. No cases have He died that night. appeared since the 2Jth. All of these eight cases, including three deaths, presented what the mcdi cal men of Honolulu have agreed in calling marked symptoms of Asiatic cholera. All were native Hawaiians. All except the last one' had participated in a luau feast at Iwilei, at which it is believed that unsound horseflesh was served. Cultures of bacilli were made, and the presence of the " comma bacillus" in the excreta of the patients at Iwilei was proved to exist. Nearly all of the Honolulu physicians were agreed in this. All with two exceptions were fully satisfied of the presence of Asiatic cholera, and their verdict was given to the public on the il'd. Owing to the anxiety previously created by the thiee deaths at the quarantine station, the utmost caie was taken in isolating ami disinfecting the cases at Iwilei, which is the western suburb of the city beyond Oabu Prison, inhabited almost exclusively by native Hawaiians After the If<th, outgoing steamers In the other islands were forbidden to Carry passengers, and then men were instructed not to mingle with people «heie tht v landed height. The authorities at I..ih.tm,i loibade freight to be landed there. After the 22d no freight was sent, and coasters remained in port. Due steamer carried fumigated mails on the 26th to windwaid ports. A general cleansing of the city was begun on the 23d, one hundred men being employed under physicians, the City being divided into ten districts. Many foul places were cleaned out, especially in Chinatown. Great quantities of disinfectants were used. Opera lions continued actively for several days. One of the bad places was the ground under the floors of the old rishmarket. There was necessarily much alarm and anxiety, especially after the appear .nice of the fresh cases on ihe 24th, the fatal one being unconnected with Iwilei. and in (he heart of the city. Nothing like panic txisted at any lime. There was a slightly diminished attendance at the churches on the 2ftth, The regular mail s'eamer Mouowai. from Sydney to San Francisco, called off the port on the morning of the ?:td. Learning of the existence of cholera, the captain landed the mails and pas>cii gers lor Honolulu, but refused In receive our Carefully fumigated mails, as well as our passengers. He would not peimit even a written message to be sent bj the U S. Consul, but Wrote down a few words shouted by the consul (rum a boat. We have yet to learn what ex travagaiit reports of " Cholera in Honolulu " the Mont 'icai has carried to San Francisco. If the malady which caused the alarm really Asiatic cholera, it must have come here by the lielgtc. But why then did it not develop among her SMM Chinese steerage passengers ? It may have been introduced by her freight, of which a quantity came Irom Kobe, a district wheie some cholera exists. But no cholera has appeared among the Asiatic consignees of the freight. Cholera reappeared in force on the 29th, and from that date until the morning of September 2d the total number was [September, 1895. of cases was raised to 24, with 21 deaths. All but one were native Hawaiians. One was a sailor on the U. S. gunboat Bennington. The churches were all closed on the Ist. God help these poor easily dying natives. Agitation for Amnesty. Some agitation is being mode among supporters of the Republic in favor ola general amnesty to all persons concerned ill the January attempt to overthrow the Republic and restore the monarchy. Our own personal feelings aie stiongly in favor of such a measuie. We have no doubt that such aie also the feelings of the members of the Executive. It is only a question of what is consistent with the public safety. Feihrtps it IS now safe to set at libcity nil the men who in January conspired to ovcithiow the Government, and those Who took up arms against it. One docs not easily forget the alarm which that attempt in spired, nor the gieatness if the peril which then impended ovei tile city. It is taking a very serious icsponsibilit) to talk of sttting at laige those who then had it in mind to fill this cit> with the honors of war. It is quite possible that those people have learned a thorough lesson, and that they will have no disposition to renew the attempt. Tv oui mind, the question is entirely one of public safety. It is nut that of due punishment ol the ill deserving as in the case ol the ordinary cnmi nal.
