The ultimate aim of all right Education is the formation ol pure and noble character in the | apil. Let this always be kept in view. The Lord Jesus Christ imparted to his disciples the leaven of his own holy and divine character, and this leaven of saintliness has since been slowly permeating mankind. It is the Christian's task to perfect such character in himself and to impart it to others. "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them." "In Christ ye also are builded together for a habitation of (rod in the Spirit." By his Spirit. G>d dwells in souls that receive him loyally. They bring forth the fru'.s of the Spirit, love, mercy, patience, meekness, purity, justice, faith. They live in constant prayer, communion with God. Their "life is hid with Christ in God." Such is the complete Christian. It is such that Christ wills his followers to be; it is such characters that the Highest education will seek to multiply. New Mission Chapel.

Prof. Marquez, a leader in Theosophy in Honolulu, in a recent lecture accredited Polynesian kahunas or wizards, as "adepts" in Theosophic mysteries, as follows : "Look at witchcraft, so loftily denied by science, now confirmed and admitted by scientific experience with mediums, showing that the witches of old were only mediums under another name, sensitives who increased their powers under magical ceremonies, such as even the ancient Polynesian 'kahunas' knew how to do." Than kahunas, voodoos, and heathen wizards in all savage countries, nothing is more malignant and diabolical. If spiritism, or any other practice is allied in any way to such unholy dealings, wise men will avoid them, whatever the psychical facts involved. For instance, the Polynesian kahuna most diligently and patiently "increases his powers under magical ceremonies" as follows: At the death of his infant child, or relative, he takes possession of the corpse, and carries a part of it constantly on his person, regularly going through the form of administering food to it, whenever he-eats, also praying to it. By this means he develops the spirit of the infant into a powerful demon, devoted to his service, and ready at his command to occupy and kill the body of any person he orders it to slay. There are such kahunas now here in Honolulu, believed by their native neighbors to have great and deadly power, and many natives right here fall victims every year to their witchcraft through the murderous power of the alleged demon, which according to Mr. Marquez, may doctrines ? AVmicoensg PrevalntHawaiians. The Hawaiian Board page of this issue will probably give more or less of the report made by Rev. Messrs. Timoteo and Ezera of the work and results of their mission to native churches on Kauai. We borrow some of their statements from our own notes of that report. Three very prevalent forms of destructive wickedness were especially combated by the Evangelists, with much success. Those were sorcery, drunkenness, and impure living. Large numbers, even of intelligent people, were living under a heavy yoke of superstition, in bondage to witchcraft and fear if the kahunas. To the question whether Waimea exceeded Honolulu in the prevalence of this evil, Mr. Timoteo declined to express an opinion. A local Judge arose in public and said, "I will no more touch liquor nor awa. Awa is evil and filthy. I too have been misled by the heathen prophets. I have been living in therealm of darkness and misery. I renounce all those works of the evil one, and stand on the side of the Lord." (One does not rind added luster to the eminent fame of Robert Louis Stevenson, in the fact that he lent countenance to the practice of Kava or awa drinking in Samoa. Stevenson however, viewed the practices of uncivilized life from an attitude of genial sympathy, rather than from the moral stand point of the missionary.) The Evangelists reported a great prevalence of promiscuous living, and a large proportion of illegitimate children. Some were induced to terminate their unlawful union by marriage, others by separation. Domestic life was extensively impure. This however is an ancient condition, and a leading cause of continued depopulation. Intemperance was common. Much liquor was procured from Honolulu, and domestic manufacture of various intoxicants was common. Many talks against intemperance were given with marked effect. Against all the forms of evil named, constant warfare was made in house to house visitation. The report of the evangelist was most instructive, and full of revelation of the moral and social condition of the masses of the Hawaiian people, who with all �THE FRIEND 42 [June, 1896. their education and comparative opu- Smith, the mission physician resident Ed through a large piece of very high lence, are still greatly in bondage to their here, who in the absent of the pastor cane belonging to H.

It may properly be* mentioned that Rev. E. S. Timoteo, who is a man of unusual sweetness and devoutness, as well as wisdom, has been a steadfast supporter of the ex-queen, unlike a majority of his native colleagues in the ministry, a fact which might tend to bias him to minimize the evils reported. He has no doubt reported the facts faithfully. AVisit to Kauai in 1845. An old journal of about 1845 lately came into our hands, from which the following abridged selections are here given, describing things as they were on Kauai fifty years ago. Nov. 4. —As I was needing a relaxation, Mr. Ladd proposed my making a trip to Kauai, combining business with pleasure. At 4 p.m. I stepped aboard the little craft belonging to Ladd & Co., with three other foreigners on board. As we left the town blending in the distance with the mountains behind, we enjoyed cooking our cup of chocolate and eating our supper, expecting to be in Koloa next morning. Had a comfortable night on deck, as Ladd & Co. allow few natives to go on their vessels. It was calm and in the morning we had advanced but a third of the way. It was not until after three nights on board that caught a light breeze and anchored late in the afternoon at Koloa. Messrs. Burn ham and Goodalt; were on the beach, and I was soon at home at Mr. (is. 7th.—This house is prettily located on a hill commanding a fine prospect. On the right lies a pretty valley, highly cultivated, in which "Oil village" is situated. Mr. Goodale's oil works and houses for the natives making quits a cluster. On the left is old "Old Hoary Head," a lofty peak standing as sentinel to Koloa and environs. Mr. and Mrs. Goodale seemed as happy as one could expect, lacking society. Newton Ladd was visiting here when I arrived. We visited the mill houses and then kept on down to the store. Saturday is holiday at Koloa. The natives on the plantations are not required to work, it being the weekly trading day. You will see one with his piggies coming squalling along, another with his poultry, one with mats, another with tapa, and soon, anything that the haole wants or that will bring the cash. The "store" is also opened to-day, and the natives flock in early to see the new goods that may have arrived during the week, which soon find eager purchasers, and in a few hours are on their persons. Home to tea, and spent a pleasant evening. Bth.—A most still and quiet Sabbath. In the p.m. we walked down Church, which was held at the house of Dr. in English at his own house.

Mr. W. and myself made the last trip of the canoe. We found it very tiltish. He was nearly double my weight, and had we been better acquainted, with dry clothes at hand, he would have upset me, for he saw "I looked as if I wanted a ducking." After joking about it, a short walk through the town which had a very unprepossessing appearance, brought us to the house of Mr. Whitney. It stands near his church, and in the pleasantest part of the town, which is not saying much, as it is said to be a very dry, dirty, dull, dreary sort of a place. Mrs. W. however has a fine dairy and makes beautiful butter—but I could see no feed. Mrs. Whitney provided a very good dinner, and there was a marked diminution of the viands by the time we were through. After a few hours with our kind host, we hurried away to be back at Koloa in good season. We made good speed homeward, and had a good bathe in a cool creek just as the sun was sinking in the west. We were not sorry to rest, after being most of the day in the saddle. Dedication of Pauahi Hall. This magnificent new school building of Oahu College at Punahou, was formally dedicated with appropriate exercises, and handed over to the faculty of the College on the evening of Thursday, May 21st. A very large and select audience filled the commodious assembly room in the second story of the building. Previous to the hour, many of them had enjoyed an inspection of the numerous class rooms and library. The building was splendidly lit up by its numerous electric lights in every room, and presented an imposing appearance as it was approached. The grounds were also brightly lit up with incandescent lights. The exercises were opened by a prelude upon the fine organ presented by Mrs. S. N. Castle as a memorial of her late husband. An invocation followed by Rev. C. M. Hyde. After a pleasant selection by the College Glee Club, a financial statement of the cost of the building was made by the Treasurer of the College, Mr. P. C. Jones. The leading items of cost were for stonework $39,659.76; carpenter's work $25,036.-60; roofing, plumbing, etc. $6,518.56. The total cost of building, fixtures and furniture was $78,684.05. The stone is a fine-grained, compact gray lava quar ried on a neighboring tract. It is handsomely cut and laid, and makes the most finished and elegant building yet erected in Honolulu. With an interlude by the College orchestra, Mr. Jones was succeeded by 43 THE FRIEND the chief speaker of the evening, President S. B. Dole, in an address of half an hour. Mr. Dole reviewed the history of the institution from its earliest preliminary opening in 1841, and its more formal start on July llth, 1842, as a boarding school for the children of the missionaries, under the Rev. Daniel Dole, the father of the President. The original structure was of adobe with thatched roof in the form of a letter E, plastered and whitened with coral lime. Better buildings were successively added, including the stone school building, erected by Mr. Rice in 1863. After a few years, the doors of the institution were opened to others than the children of the missionaries, and after a time, a College charter was taken out, in the expectation that a full college curriculum would be given. This hope was frustated by the tenbency of students to seek the larger college life abroad, and the institution has continued to be an Academy of high grade. Mr. Dole spoke of Mr. Charles R. Bishop's early participation in the boy's games in the for ies, and of his later services as a wise and faithful trustee; also of his more recent large assumption of its financial burdens, especially the erection of the Bishop Hall of Science, and now of this Pauahi Hall. The President commented on"the lesson of wealth consecrated to the cause ot humanity, perhaps the only respectable excuse for the amassment of riches." Noting the present advance of Punahou in development of taste and esthetic sentiment, he hoped for continued growth of sturdy manly and womanly character. It has been from the beginning a place where education meant character-making. In closing, the speaker expressed his assurance that the College would keep abreast of the progress of science, and would hesitate to ask no question of the watchers for the coming light, seeking for (rod's latest message of truth, and not being afraid of the answer. After another selection by the glee club, Hon. W. R. Castle delivered the keys of the buildingto President Hosmer, with an address in which hr reviewed the history of the building. Its erection was first suggested by Mr. Hosmer to the trustees in March, 1893. In August the erection was decided on. Plans were adopted and excavation begun during 1894. Mr. Ripley was supervising architect, It is now complete and furnished and ready for immediate occupation. Mr. Castle explained that $50,000 was donated by Hon. C. R. Bishop, directly for this building, and the'remaining $38,6X4 was derived from income of other funds fiven by Mr. Bishop for the uses of the college. In accepting the trust, President Hosmer replied to Mr. Castle at length, especially recalling the names of leading benefactors of the institution. The first was the Rev. Hiram Bingham who in 1840 so generously donated the broad lands owned by the school. Next was Mr. Dole who brought with him stores of learning. Tribute was paid to Dr. G. P. Judd who gave valuable labor and counsel, and to S. N. Castle, for forty years the treasurer of the college; also to Rev. Dr. Lowell Smith, one of the generous and devoted founders of the school, and Rev. Dr. S. C. Damon, who gave it so much of his fatherly care. Rev. Dr. Beckwith was also remembered, "the beloved teacher of some of you, the beloved pastor of more of you, and the faithful friend of you all." E2special tribute was paid to the benevolent munificence of Charles R. Bishop and his noble wife. Rejoicing was expressed in the greatly increased facilities for education, not only at Punahou, but also in the Kamehameha Schools, the magnificent new High School, and other institutions. The audience then joined heartily in singing "God bless our native land." A postlude was played on the organ by Wray Taylor. The building is both substantial and artistic. The architect was C. B. Ripley. The main entrance is from the campus on the east side, with one on the north side for the special use of the pupils. The Assembly Hall is 58x47 feet, and will be used as a schoolroom as well as an art hall. The extreme dimensions of the edifice are 104x70 feet, with two stories and massive basement rooms. Solid piers are carried up into a tower which is fitted with a dome and instruments for astronomical work. A room in the basement will be fitted tor manual training, and another with gymnastic equipments. It is proposed, however, to erect a separate gymnasium. Punahou thus enters on a fresh stage of progress. Death of Miss Kate Field. Our Honolulu community, and especially the American portion, were visited on the P. m. of the 19th by a sudden shock of sorrow, caused by the unexpected decease of the gifted lady journalist who has been for several months visiting these Islands, and reporting concerning us to the Chicago Times Herald. Miss Field passed away in little more than one hour after landing from the steamer W. G. Hall, whence she had been borne to the home of Dr. McGrew, upon a stretcher by sailors from U. S. S. Adams. Miss Field had for several weeks been exploring the out-districts of the island of Hawaii, and had undergone severer labor in traversing difficult roads, than proved to have befitted her age of 55 years, and somewhat worn-down physique. Pneumonia developed itself on reaching Kailua from Kohala, on the 13th. From there she went to Mr. Greenwell's at Kaawaloa. On tha 18th �44 THE FRIEND. she was attended by Dr. Adriahce, a passenger on the W. G. Hall, from the Coronet party, who conducted her on board. After reaching the ship, she rapidly became worse, and soon entirely prostrated. A dangerous condition appearing, the speed of the ship was hastened, reaching the city several hours in advance of regular time. The funeral was conducted on the 20th at Central Union Church. Beautiful and abundant floral decorations were contributed by a large number of prominent ladies. The Press furnished a large floral testimonial in red, white and blue in remembrance of Miss Field's patriotic Americanism. The casket was placed in the vault of J. H. Paty, Esq., awaiting directions from Chicago. A telegram was sent per S. S. Doric to be dispatched from Yokohama. Miss Field is said to have been without living relatives. Of warm, loving and admiring friends, she had multitudes. She had made many such in Hawaii, who sadly mourn for her. items to be provided for, have swelled the amount considerably above the original $750,000 proposed. There is every prospect of a very active prosecution during the next two years of important public works of many kinds. Among them will be a wagon road over Nuuanu Pali, a wharf at Hilo, extensive roads in Hilo, Puna, and Kona, and new wharves in Honolulu. Most of these improvements will be highly remunerative to the public Treasury, through increase of taxable values. The Loan will be placed on the Honolulu market at five per cent interest. With the present abundance of sugar dividends investors will eagerly take up the bonds. Schools in Hawaii. The following statistics are obtained from the Report of the Board of Education.

Treasury of Hawaiian Board. This is a bountiful year, and we are rejoiced to learn that the Board closes its financial year out of debt. But it is always in need of fresh funds, and calls for new work are increasing. Cheap Wine Proposed. That pouion of our community who advocate Temperance principles, and are seeking greater restrictions upon the traffic in intoxicants, have been greatlysurprised and grieved at the introduction into the Senate by one of the Executive, of a bill to admit free of duty all California wines of less than 18 per cent, alcoholic strength. Such wines being usually fortified up to the full strength permitted by the tariff, this becomes a proposition to deluge the country with a cheap and strong intoxicant, and thus to turn out drunkards faster than ever from the lanks of our young men. A serious offense was added to the hard working and earnest temperance corps, in telling them that this was a measure in the int'_-est of Temperance, by substituting wholesome wines at low prices for the fii ry liquors now sold. There may be persons so misled as to believe that abundant wine is an antidote for the evils of drunkenness. Intelligent Temperance advocates well know that wine, especially when fortified to 18 per cent., is as sure a creator of drunkards as gin or whiskey. Let the gentlemen who advocate it, teach its use to their sons, and see where the boys will come out. Most of them will end in drunkard's graves. And then are we not killing off the natives fast enough with the present liquor supply, without adding a cheap strong wine to drive the race more rapidly to its end ?

Having completed three months of this service among the Hawaiian churches of Lihue, Koloa and Waimea they now make a most interesting report of their work as follows: Ist—Visiting from house to house.

We and the young men who accompanied us have labored most earnestly 47 For the suppression of intemperance at house to house visiting, seeking to enter every house, exhorting the inmates and drunkenness we have pursued two to awake from their life of sin under the lines: yoke of the devil. In this work of visitation we have always sought to establish family worship, with the reading and committing to memory of scripture. In this work of revival and reformation we have had no regard for the social condition or relations of those whom we have sought to help, but only considered the spiritual destitution and need of help of those souls we would save. With the form of religion or belief of the needy ones we did not concern our selves. One great difficulty with our fellow pastors is a feeling of alienation on the part of those who should be their friends. Much of our time was spent in visiting the homes of those who were at variance with the pastor, and at variance among themselves, seeking to make peace and to soften the hard and unloving hearts. This was the hardest and most trying of all the work that we did —the effort to restore peace and love between friends and acquaintances— and one which we count as of the greatest importance to the advancement of the Hawaiian churches. Among the difficulties we met were the unpaid debts of churches to their treasurers for the salaries of their pastors and evangelists, and also for their contributions due to the Hawaiian Board. We sought to cancel these debts by direct exhortation on giving, and by musical concerts led by our young men, all the .proceeds of which were devoted to aiding the needy churches. The efforts to arouse by means of singing concerts, half of the time being devoted to reconciliation and friendly intercourse, and also the work of our stout hearted young people in Sabbath schools, were successful. The greatest difficulties of the churches in which your committee has labored arise from the misconceptions of the people in regard to heathen worship and sorcery. In dealing with this heathen worship your committee went boldly into the homes of some who were bound with this chain of the Devil—some who were greatly feared by their neighbors as ieaders in these heathen incantations. Going into their own homes and the homes of their dupes we expounded the folly and uselessness of such worship, and we preached to them of Jesus and his wondrous love, the way of life by the cross through faith in Jesus the Saviour. For the suppression of promiscuous illicit living the Committtee went into the homes of those who were thus living, conversing with loving heart, showing to the erring ones the condition of degredation and pollution in which they dwelt, and showing to them that such life is contrary to the laws of God. Ist. Y\'e have preached publicly upon the evils of the use of intoxicating drinks, '.'nd. We have met personally with those given to the vice; have gone to their homes, prayed with them before God, and have plead with them to give up strong drink. But fruits—results, are what we want to see. Ist. All opened to us their homes for us to enter, and they opened to us their hearts. 2nd. In our meetings of religious assembly for prayer and reformation, many friends stood forth and confessed their sins. And so also in their homes. Some of these will become pillars of righteousness. Let us pray to establish them in every good purpose. 3rd. The financial straits of pastors and evangelists have been relieved, and somu churches have forwarded their contributions to the Hawaiian Board. 4th. The alienations between brethren were healed; quarrels of years standing have been ended, and loving intercourse has by the grace of God followed. r >th. The revival efforts have been • successful as shown by the concerts for singing and Christian intercourse. In attendance at these meetings are some who for many years had been living in promiscuous sin, but who now attend the services of God's house. Some of these testify that the attendance upon the house of God is the road to purity of body and soul, and that removal from the house of God is the road of the devil, leading to unspeakable filth and pollution of body and soul. 6th. One who is I government officer and who has been a devotee of awa and strong drinks, has come boldly out, acknowledging his sin and declaring that he is no longer to be a follower of strong drink :md a dupe of the heathen priest, but that henceforward he is on the Lord's side. We must abbreviate the remainder of the Committee's report. Another says before a large congregation: "Companions of the days that are past, my door is shut against any of you who may bring the rum bottle to my house; but the door is wide open to all who come with any good purpose. My home shall no longer be the abode of drunkenness. Fray for me and my household." Still another who has been a heathen sorcerer says:"I have lived in darkness in the days that aie past; now I see the light; Jesus is the Light." Two couples who had been living together have now been married; and two others not lawfully united have separated. Two households have established family worship and are examples in this respect for others to follow. �48 June 1896.
