It opens brightly on us in Hawaii. Peace and health have taken the place of disorder and pestilence. More than ordinary business prosperity exists. Political animosities are softened. Our churches are having large accessions. All points to a year of wholesome and successful activity. While affairs are so bright in Hawaii, we cannot be oblivious to miseries in lands under the opposite meridian, where Armenia is being ravaged by the fanatical Moslem, and no deliverer comes to save. In contrast, what peace and well-being are secured by the presence of enlightened Christianity in Hawaii. May every earnest and upright soul among us begin this year with kindled purpose to be of all possible service to other souls and to the Kingdom of our Lord. May this year be one of faithful work, and of diligent exertion to multiply the gifts with which He has endowed us. When He comes to take account of His servants, may each of us be found to have made a worthy record in this year ot 1896. Number 1 1 HONOLULU. H. 1..

Hit, Dear Mr. Bishop; On my return to China a few weeks ago I found a copy of the 'Frii-nd' addressed to me, the first I have seen for a long time. If my mute back to China had not been through Europe and India, I should certainly have arranged to visit Honolulu on the way, to see for myself what is going on in your much debated little Republic but this could not be. In default of this I have followeh as well as I was able in my devious journeys, such articles of yours as have fallen under my eye, and have got additional light from many who have spent some time in the Islands. I have never had the least doubt that the Lord has some high purpose in the unique history of the Hawaiian Islands, and the early years of the twentieth century will partially make plain what that purpose is. In the meantime it is easy to be patient with the ignorance, misrepresentation and malice which has only evil to say of those wonderful men and women that laid the Cnristian foundations of the Islands sn broad and deep that they have not yet been overthrown, and by the blessing of God never shall be. I have come back to China in a very disturbed time, the close of the war has brought forward problems of which no one can predict the solution. Since the close of the war with Fn.nce and England in I HOD, there has never been a time when the government ofChina has been so unable to cope with its responsi bililies as to d y. Indeed it is a question of great interest just what constitutes the 'government' of the Chinese emjiire. The Emperor is a young man of very limited capacity, if reports are to be trusted, who, like most Emperors, is strangled by what we call his 'environ merit.' It would be a miracle if with such opportunities as he has enjoyed. he gained the smallest correct notion of the political affairs of the planet upon which he lives, antl there is no reason to suppost- thai any such miracle has been His principal tutor, an old wrought man named Wting T'ung Ho, has just been appointed a member of the 'Foreign Office' in Peking, a cumbrous machine through which nearly all the relations between China and other states are adjusted. Another old fossil who was tutor of the preceding Emperor, has also been grafted into the same unwieldly body, and these men are said by those who have to deal with them to be 're actionaries' of the worst type, so that the transaction of any business at all has been difficult. The British government appears to have been aroused to the point of giving a most vigorous 'ultimatum' in the matter of the Ssu Ch'uan riots, offering the Chinese but three days My. THE FRIEND to make up their minds whether to publish an cdii t in th Peking (ia/.ette, degrading the late viceroy of that province on the express ground of his complicity with the rioters. The alternative which was threatened is understood to have been the occupation of the valley uf the Yang-Tzu river by the British, an event which even the stolid Chinese could not contemplate with equanimity. As a re suit the required edict was published in the Gazette a few days ago, but in the most inconspicuous manner possible. As the Fukien massacres were much worse in every way than the riots in the Western province, it must be that when the investigation now in progress at Ku Ch'eng is ended, the British Government will insist upon the degradation of the Fukien Viceroy too. This is an affair of very much greater importance than the casual reader of the daily newspaper is likely to imagine. I do not re collect ever to have heard of any such extremity of punishment before, for in this case there are appended to the decree of removal the fatal words, 'never to be mentioned for employment again.' Ch'ung Hou, the Tartar Governor General of Chihli, at the time of the Tientsin massacre, was it is true removtd. But his punishment consisted in sending him as a special envoy to settle with the French Government the details of the reparation to be made for the murders wrought through his connivance. Alter a great deal of ttlegraphing back and forth, the U. S. Government has finally sent a commission of its own to Ssu Ch'uan to look into the riots there, the members consisting of the Consul at Tientsin—an active and intelligent man —an officer from a man-of-war, and the interpreter of the Legation in Peking. They left only a week ago, and are to travel overland, instead of up the YangTzu, which involves much fatigue for no obvious purpose. The firm stand of the British Government ought to make their task an easy one. Meantime the Chinese government has succeeded in getting into hot water with every one of the Great Powers simultaneously, the latest being Germany who is exasperated by attacks upon Missions near Swatow. It is a current aphorism that the hour produces the man, but the hour seems to have struck some time ago, and 'the man'has not appealed. The most natu ral explanation seems to be that he is either dead, or quite as probable not yet born. There are signs that prominent Chinese officials recognizing the gravity of the situation, are ready to listen to advice from any quarter, if there is a reasonable hope that some plan will be brought forward by which China can get out of her troubles. At the present moment there are in Peking two members of the missionary body, Rev. Timothy Richard, and Rev. Gilbert Reid, each of whom is well qualified to make valuable suggestions to those in high places, and each of whom has recently been sent [January, 189G for by officers in responsible positions, in the hope that something may be suggested by means of which China may escape from her sea of perplexities. China is poor in money, weak in armaments and distracted by hopeless difference* of an internal nature. The Tartar Dynasty would have fallen long ago, but for the fact that there is nothing wherewith to replace it except blank anarchy. I.i Hung Chang is shelved in Peking charged with having made an 'unpatriotic' treaty with Japan, the only thing that could be done, and at the same time charged with the making of another treaty with the same power as a definite adjustment of the results of the war. He is said to be regarding with much amusenu-nt the helj'less struggles of his opponents to manage the aflairs ol state, to which they are quite unequal but even if he should get back to power again, he is too old to retain his position long, and there is not a single official available for the succession. The needs of China are many, but her greatest and most fatal lack is men. There is no doubt that the introduction of railways in the central provinces is in the immediate future, indeed we hear even now that the Imperial assent has been given to a line from Tientsin to SoochoWj but we recollect that the saint; assent was actually given in 1884, and nothing came of it. It cannot however prove so now, for the reason that if China does not build railroads herself, Japan will force her to let Japan do it, which China Hence will do anything to prevent. compulsory 'reform. But those who know China and the Oriental, are well aware of the fact that there is in magic in a railway. It still remains true that 'the soul of improvement is the improvement of the soul.' It is for this that the missionaries are working, and sooner or later their work will be felt. I remain very sincerely yours. Ariiur IL Smith. An Old Letter from a still surviving Missionary. To Mr. ('...rh.iin 11. (lilman, care of Ladil and Co, Honolulu, Palm. Kohala, March 25, '42. My dear friend and Brother Gorham, I received your very kind letter yesterday— quite a speedy conveyance from Honolulu —only 15 days? We usually think we are highly favored if we get letters in a month or six weeks from there. We feel much obliged to you for the intelligence you give us ol news and letters from Home, and we shall wait with no little anxiety for our letters. We have been highly favored so far, though we have met with a sad disappointment in the loss of the package of home letters by the California, —a loss I need not say, we severely felt and one �which cannot easily be repaired. We feel desirous to send home by the Delaware, but have only to regret the utter impossibility of preparing leiters in season to send now, as this must go in the morning, anil opportunities to send hence to Honolulu are very rarely known to us, we live so far from the beach. We are exceedingly pressed with busi nessjust now, and dutits seem daily to increase upon us, as our acquaintance with the language becomes better. A pastor's labors at home are very small indeed, compared with the wear and teai of a pastor's body and mind in these is lands, and then here there is no en lightened sympathy with the "minister," as there at wayI is at home. We have therefore a double weight here to sustain: but we do it in the strength of an AI mighty supporter, and in Him we feel courage to prosecute the Work he has given us to do. I am now upon my third general tour through my field, examining the state of the schools and the church. Both are low at present, though we have some hope from morning prayer-meetings which I established a week or two since in all our lands. (Perhaps you may not be aware that every district is subdivided into many small lands of from 5U to 500 inhabitants. Of these we have SO or CO in this district.) Our Sabbath school also I have just organized, and hope for some good from that. My teacher s school numbers about 511, and is very full of interest, as is also Mrs. B's school of girls. We find our acquaintance with the people becoming more perfect every day, and every da)- we see more of their desperately degraded condition. Many years must elapse ere they can be brought in their civil and social relations anywhere within the utmost verge of civilization. Slow indeed is the progress of degraded human nature upward; but the power of Gods' truth can raise it. This is our stay continually. I find very pleasant preaching to the people. On the A. m. of the Sabbath I preach them a set sermon, and the P. M. have them recite the verses of the "Ai-o-ka la," i.e. "Daily Food," and then expound to them. They give apparent attention to the truth, but like sinners everywhere, their hearts offer no congenial soil for its growth. The Lord alone can sanctify it. The native character is vastly worse than I supposed it was. Nothing is too bad for the people, nothing too vile. I am whelmed in astonishment, when I think that such hearts can be changed by the grace of God, and made meet for Heaven. I am very glad to hear you say that God is your strength. Yes, my brother, God is indeed our strength—our All. May you feel this truth continually warming and cheering your inmost soul. Never before have I felt so deep a sense of this very thing as I do now. I am THE FRIEND. driven absolutely to Him to seek aid daily. Soul and body would die without Him in this trying service. Vi t in Him we stand and rejoice, yea and will. * I shall not forB * get soon the many kind words they (your parents) have spoken to me when I have most felt their need. The Lord greatly bless them and their children after them, a covenant keeping God and Savior. So prays and will ever your Friend and Brother E. Bond. 5:1 letter of years ago, The foregoing from Father Ellis Bond, who still lingers in great feebleness at his old Kohala home, seems worthy of publishing, on account of its many notices of the conditions of the past in these Islands, such as the isolation of the out districts, the difficulty of communication, nd ihe deep Il degradation of the native people. also breathes in a noble strain the ardent faith and devotion which filled the hearts of the missionary fathers, and made their work so fruitful.

To a majority of those churches, this Congregational platform of union will appear dangerously broad and liberal Our greatly esteemed 'Christian' brother Garvin, fur example, runs up a high fence will) his rigid dogma of Immersion, excluding from fellowship all who do not practice, not, only Baptism, but that particular form of therite.

We have the best reason to believe that he also holds firmly and worthily to all the leading Evangelical His refusing to tenets of the faith. formulate that systtm of tenets into a written creed does not make him creedless, nor any less sectarian than other denominations. Therein lies the fallacy of his claim to be undenominational, and simply Christian, a claim which seems to us an arrogant one, when he is really more sectarian than the most of us. » Eleventh Annual Report of W.

"This Parlia- that three places be licensed at a high figure say $6000, that these should be governed by the same regulations as obtain in other stores of merchandise and that all liquors should be taken away from the places where sold and that the time of opening and closing be fixed at from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The former petition was endorsed by a large majority. Only ten meetings of the Union have been held during the year, the January meeting being prevented by the insurrection, and that in August by the cholera. Average attendance has been 20. The Report is signed by M. A. Hilton-Greene Recording Secretary. This honored band of workers are bravely taking the lead in our battle against the organized forces of the saloon, and are patiently going foward in their labors. We may all take courage from their faith and persistence. The war is a long one, but God is on the side of Temperance, and will conquer the saloon and the other works of the Devil in this world. te ment at Rorotua, of representatives of the Maori race throughout New Zealand, deplores the fact that the Maori people have suffered more physical deterioration, diminution of numbers, poverty, and demoralization, from strong drink and the debaucheries it leads to, than from any other cause; and appeals to Hon. R. J. Sellers, Premier of New Zealand, to provide in a new Licensing Bill, that the selling and supplying of liquor to Maoris shall be prohibited everywhere in the Colony, as it is by law at present in the three native districts of Taupo, Waioku, and Moawhango; and that no license shall be granted within one mile of any native owned land." Until about twenty years ago, to sell or give intoxicants to native Hawaiians was prohibited. This prohibition was removed through the special influence of King Kalakaua, on the ground that it was treating the natives as inferior to the whites. The result has been destructive to the native race of the Islands. The prohibition was originally made by the desire of the natives them- [January, 1896 Arrival of the R. W. Logan. The Missionary schooner R. W. Logan, arrived safely in Honolulu, December 18th, in 29 days from San FYancisco. She is on her way to Ruk, for service amongthe islands of which that isthecen tral station. She is a trim white craft of 51 tons, drawing when loaded 6.5 feet. Her master is an old friend Captain Isaiah Bray, so long in command of the Morning Star. Mrs. Bray and daughter are passengers on their old route through Micronesia, and expect to return with Capt, Bray on the Morning Star. The Logan will then be commanded by Mr. G. I. Foster who is now the mate. Mr. F"oster is accompanied by his wife, who is the daughter of Rev. Mr. Price of Ruk. The Logan has required some refitting in Honolulu. Some alteration to her keel necessitated a visit to the Marine Railway. The schooner drifted for several days between Molokai and Kauai. When becalmed inshore at Waialua, she was reported by telephone as an ojiiuni smuggler, and promptly pounced upon by the tug Elen, which kindly towed her into port. There was a grand joke against the Custom House authorities when their capture was learned to be freighted with Bibles instead of opium! An Instructive Competition. The Kilohana Art League is an Asso. ciation of amateur artists, who give periodical exhibitions of their work. During l he past month children from the leading city schools have been admitted to the exhibition. These pupils are asked to write upon what they saw there, and for the best composition in each school a prize will be given. It has been interesting to observe the intentness with which the young students have been taking notes of what they were observing. Death of Judge Bickerton. Hon. Richard P. Bickerton, Ist.

If the water and lands of Ewa and Waialuacan thus be united, it means an addition of fifty or sixty thousand tons of sugar to the annual product of this island, and a trebling of its population. It is to be hoped and with some good reason, that a large part of this sugar would be cultivated on shares, so as to promote the settlement of the country by American and European farmers. The large population created by the sugar plantations would also make a home market for vegetable, truit, and dairy farms on portions of the land not irrigated, but enjoying forty or fiftyinches of rain per annum. In view of these conditions, it seems quite possible that twenty years hence may see twenty thousand people finding a residence and comfortable subsistence on the now uninhabited region between Ewa and Waialua.. [Decmbr, 1895. THE FRIEND situation of these devoted workers is in every way comfortable and delightful, with the one terrible exception of their constant and somewhat dangerous intercourse with lepers, many of them horribly disfigured. There is also a great tendency to overwork. Senator Waterhouse, Prof. Richards, Rev. Waiamau and others held a most interesting meeting with the Y. M. C. A. in their new hall.

A heavy northerly swell forbade the party to re embark that night or the next morning. They crossed the island 12 miles to Kaunakakai, first climbing on foot a precipice of 1800 feet altitude. The Keatthou steamtd around 4.ri miles and took them off. Miss Kate Field, of the party, counted the lofty climb and scenery not the least of her impressive Native Disregard of Sanitary Precautions. An object lesson in the above is given a statement made by a highly reliable Hawaiian gentleman who was one of the late visting party at Kalaupapa. He witnessed the landing of a man and his wife in whose case a special exception had been made by the Board of Health, in permitting them to visit the woman's father, who is a leper at the .■settlement. This leper is one of the most prominent and influential men there. When bis daughter and son-inlaw landed, this leper kissed them both profusely on their mouths, which is one of the most likely ways of communicating the disease. No official was present toprevent this dangerous proceeding. This illustrates the difficulty experienced by the authorities in hindering the spread of this loathsome malady, and experiences. why it is confined chiefly to the natives —also why government by natives inThe Visit to New Zealand.
