T.S hi ftS ftS AS ,%4 54 ftfi of Woman's Board. The Woman's Board of Missions met in the Central Union Church, June 2d, to observe their 25th anniversary. Mrs. Dillingham who has been Treasurer for the entire period, stated that during that time $20,926.10 had been raised, and $20,758.89 disbursed. Mrs. S. E. Bishop, Recording Secretary, reported five life members and sixty-two annual as enrolled at the first meeting. There are now on the list 267 life members. The work til the Society is for Hawaiians, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese. The free kindergartens inaugurated by this board, have passed under a separate organization. After 18 years of service, Mrs. Bishop retires from duty as Secretary, at the age of seventy, with many commendatory acknowledgments of.good service. Mrs. (i. P. Andrews assumes that post of labor. After a social hour at lunch with many guests, work was resumed in the afternoon. A paper of reminiscences by Miss Chamberlain, was read. It was told how at a large missionary meeting at Fort Street Church. Mrs. Snow of Kusale was graciously permitted, as a great concession, to talk from the pulpit steps! Surely woman has gone up since then. "Mother Rice read an account of Mrs. Parker early missionary days. and Mrs. Cooke were too feeble to attend, but sent loving greetings. Mrs. S. N. Castle recalled pleasant memories in a short speech. The venerable Mrs. William Gulick was the most aged member present. On the evening of Wednesday, Juna 4, in the audience room of Central Union Church was held an enthusiastic meeting of delegates from the various branches of the Y. P. S. C. E. in these islands. Mr. Lyle Dickey presided. The report of the Secretary, Miss Agnes Judd, showed that the Senior Society of Honolulu had 68 members and the Junior IS, In Hilo were 22 and 19 respectively; in Paia, Maui, 25 and IH; in Makawao School 20; in Kawaiahao 16 and 31.

Sunday School Reunion. The Oahu Sunday Schools held annual reunion June 6th at Kawaiahao Church. The church was crowded. Many hymns were sung by different schools, and stirring speeches made by Messrs. Waterhouse, Rickards, Desha, Kapu, and Timoteo, after which a grand luiiit was enjoyed by all hands under a broad lanai in the yard. It was pronounced one or the must successful celebrations of the kind. Maunaolu Semi-Jubilee.

The exercises closed with a grand luau at 2 ■>, m. The present seminary building, or rather a part of it, was opened in June 1871. It was organized under trustees. For fifteen years previous, a smaller institution had been conducted on the same site, latterly by Miss Mary E. Green. The former building was destroyed by fire in 1871. Miss Grain soon after took charge of a Female Seminary at Waialua, Oahu. Kauai Industrial Schhool. This valuable school has led a struggling yet most useful life for many yearsi sustained by the devoted labors of children of the late Key J. W.

It is an old scandal, especially applieffect. Again, when Paul was standing be cable to French missions, that "after fore the Roman tribunal at Caesarea, the missionary always conies the inand the time-serving Festus proposed to evitable gun boat."

The above instructions go somewhat farther than those of any other mission iry society, and, as we have seen, en beyond the practice of St. Paul maelf. All missionary societies, how1 agree on this point, tbat they t (far, strongly deprecate, if they do not forbid, v appeal by individual missionaries to their home governments. Whenever such appeal is necessary, it is generally .ii.tde by the Directors of the Society to the State Department of thei.i own government. This does not at all lessen the duty oi a government to protect the lights of its citizens abroad. When, as in Turkey, Christian missions have been established with the full consent ot the government of that country, when their rights have been guaranteed by solemn treaties, when tiieir colleges and hospitals have been i uilt under the official sanction of the same government, every consideration n national honor and of humanity calls I then protection from insult and c rcumstances must h I own responsibility : • . i tssacrs. Again when in violation of official promises, the American missionaries W ie expelled by the Spaniards from the island of Bonabe, and their property d stroved, it was right that their governn nt should exact indemnity from Spain fm the outrage. So in the New Hebrides, if the British government had from the first shown the cannibals of Tanna and Eromanga that it could and would p otect its citizens, many valuable lives n lght have been saved, and thirty years g.uned for the cause of Christianity and i ilization in those islands. In regard to the relations which a missionary may sustain to foreign gove amenta, the Church Missionary Society has published the following excellent rules "Every missionary is strictly charged to abstain from interfering in the political affairs of the country or place in which he may be laboring * * * * Never assume a position of hostility to the ruling powers * * * * Stand aloof from all questions of political It idersihp and political partisanship * Tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor." Yet, as the Apostles told their per"We ought to obey God secutors rather than men," and "rejoiced that : : �they were counted worthy to suffer I il his name," so in many countries tie pioneers Of the Gospel have had to encounter the hostility of the liual governments. The first Protestant work in Jap"i was carried on m quiet disregard of unrepealed laws, proclamations a. I The same thing has lm been done in Corea, where sever I Catholic missionaries have sutler.

The first missionaries to India Wehl therein defiance not so much of heathen as of nominally Christian governments. The history of the former alliance of th East India Company with heathenism and its opposition to missions is di graceful m the extreme. Thus Re Samuel Newell, Dr. Judson and others were forbidden to remain in its ten lit ries.

Vol. 54, No. 7.] ,- In the Turkish Empire, as has been said, the missionary has a legal statu under the protection of his own govei ment, with express recognition of h a character and work by the Turkish But, although religious authorities. repeatedly proclaimed has been liberty by the famous edicts known as the Hatti Humayoun and the Hatti Sheaf, yet in practice, it is certain death for a Muliam medan to profess himself a convert > Accordingly, the effpi 9 Christianity. of our missionaries have been chiefi) directed to the reformation of the effe.e and corrupt Oriental churches. At fin t, the Moslem looked on in COntetnptUC l indifference, but when the Turkish gi ernment began to realize the effect ! their work in elevating the Christian races ol th.U empire, its policy WIS changed from one of neutrality to actual persecution. At first it resorted to evt y possible pretext to evade its engag ments, to close up schools, to stop prii ing presses and to imprison native ; but now it is proceeding to exterminate a whole nation, before the eyes ol Christian Europe, and, as it seems, with the consent and backing of Russia. The legal position of the missionary in China is similar to that of his brethren in Turkey, but there the central government has not been actively hostile. In fact the Chinese government is tar more tolerant than that of certain South American republics or than that ol Russia, which absolutely forbids any subject to change his religion, unless he becomes a member of the State Church. So Ear we have considered the missionary's relations to such governments as are more or less unfriendly to his work. But, on the other hand, when the ruling powers are friendly, the missionary is confronted by snares and preachers . temptations of a different charactt Ever smce the time of Constantino, the alliance of Church and State lias been deadly to spiritual religion. It is not necessary, nor have we time to dwell on the failings in this respect ot Roman Catholic missions in America, m Congo, in Ceylon and in China and | ipan. The results should serve as a warning to Protestant missions. The Protestant government of Holland once tried the experiment in Ceylon, requiring assent to us church creed as a condition of appointment to office: It has left the opprobrious epithet ol "Government Christian" M a warning against all similar attempts to combine the service of God and Mammon. At the present tune, certain European powers are eager to offer such alliance to missions. France, especially, has long sought to advance her schemes of territorial aggrandizement by claiming to be the great protector of Christian missions. In China, for political reasons, nhe hat claimed to be the patron of all Roman Catholic missions of whatever nationality. During the reign of Louis Philippe this line of policy was actively pursued in the Pacific ocean, and its effects were felt not only in these islands, but also in Tahiti, the Marquesas and Tonquin. Not long ago the cross of the Legion of Honor was conferred upon M. Catalis, a veteran French Protestant missionary, for "extending the influence of France in Basutoland," in South Africa. Germany too is suffering from the colonial fever, or "Earth-hunger," and favors German missions, because it is believed that even if its missionaries do not succeed in Christianizing the heathen, they may be used to Germanize them to some extent. For the same reason each of these powers seeks to excludt from its colonies all missionaries of other nationalities. Thus Germany in 1886 expelled the English Baptist missionaries from the Cameroons in west Africa and filled their place with German missionaries from Basle. In the same region, France always has interfered with the American Presbyterian Mission on the Gaboon river, by ordering that the French language be used in all the schools to the exclusion not only of English but even of the native language. One of the most flagrant examples of this baneful policy oocurred in 1887 in one of the Loyalty Islands near New Caledonia. In that group of Islands the London Missionary Society had labored so successfully that "the whole of the people, formerly savage cannibals, had embraced Christianity. There were self-supporting churches with 3000 members. There was but one foreign missionary there with 40 native pastors." Then, as Rev. John Jones wrote: "I, the only English missionary on the island, while revising the Mare Scriptures, was expelled by the French Government, at half an hours' notice, from the island where I had labored for more than 34 years. Since then the Government has introduced French missionaries, and treats as rebels those native Christians who refuse to attend the State Church. It is much to be feared that a similar policy will ultimately be followed in Madagascar, and that the English missionaries, who have done such a giand work for Christ on that island, will in time be forced to leave the field. In justice, however, to the French government, it should be added that the conduct of General Duchesne and of the Minister-Resident, M. Laroche, who is a Protestant Christian, has been all that could have been desired. The English missionaries there seem to have shown great prudence and tact in the difficult position in which they have been placed. During the late civil war in Uganda, the missionaries of the Church Missionary Society wisely stood aloof, and refused to give their aid to King Mwanga against his rivals. Lord Salisbury in 1888 gave notice that he would not interfere in behalf of missionaries in Africa outside of the sphere of British influence. Another class of perplexing questions arises where the missionary is appealed to by native converts to assist them in maintaining their legal rights in the courts. The expectation of such aid and protection is most damaging to the sincerity of new converts. It is also most injurious to the missionary himself, by filling up his time and thoughts with secular matters, lawsuits, appeals, and the like. This temptation is particularly strong in India, where English law has modified many customs in favor of humanity and religious freedom. When Christians in that country are persecuted by their heathen neighbors, who try to deprive them of their legal rights, such as the right to take water from the public wells, and to rob them of their lands, it is quite natural that they should apply to the missionary for advice and help. �THE FRIEND. 52 Bat many of the wisest and best of our missionaries are of opinion that the safest courae is to observe a strict neutrality in all political and civil matters. The missionary is the ambassador of the King of Kings. He is the herald of the Prince of Peace. He betrays and lowers his high calling if he allows himself to be entangled with wordly schemes. Our Lord, when He was tempted by the devil in the wilderness, set an example for his followers in all ages, whenever they may be tempted to endeavor to hasten the triumph of His kingdom by the use of unworthy and worldly means. As the old prophet said: "Not by might, not by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord." As our Saviour said: "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation." Its progress is not to be measured by outward and visible results. Like his Master, the missionary does not attack the "powers that be," however corrupt and tyrannical they may be. But he preaches righteousness, temperance and justice. He tells men of the common Fatherhood of God and the common Brotherhood of man, and of a judgment at which all wrongs will be righted. The leaven of truth cannot fail to work. The Gospel of Love is mightier than fleets and armies. Under its beneficent influence slavery and judicial torture have disappeared from Europe and Serfdom from Hawaii nei; arbitration is beginning to take the place of war, and in God's good time earthly governments will cease to be engines of greed and oppression, and will begin to reflect in some faint degree the justice and benevo lence of the Divine Government. Palama Chapel Dedicated. Formal dedicatory services were held on Monday evening June Ist, in the new and commodious chapel at the foot of Liliha Street. Mr. P. C. Jones the donor, delivered the keys to the Pastor of Central Union Church, after which Pastor Birnie read the dedicatory sentences, and a dedicatory prayer was offered. Mr. Birnie then sketched the work which it was hoped to carry on in connection with the chapel. Among things planned, were social gatherings, mothers' meetings and boys' clubs. Since the dedication, Sunday evening preaching services have been held, as well as a morning Sunday School under the superintendence of Mr. Corbett. Also Friday evening prayer meetings. All these services have been well attended. The outlook for faithful work seems promising. New Church for Lahaina. It ia a satisfaction to learn that chiefly through the gift of Hon. Henry P. Baldwin, a new and elegant church is soon to be erected at Lahaina, on the site of the oid church which was destroyed by fireabout two years ago. The walls and tower will be constructed from The the stone of the old building. dimensions will be much smaller, as adapted to the present greatly diminished population. The old building was the first stone church in the islands, erected by the royal chiefs in 1830, under the pastorate of Rev. William Richards, whose successor in 1836 was the Rev. Dwight Baldwin, M.D., continuing Missionary Pastor for thirty years, and for whom the new edifice will be called The Baldwin Memorial Church. Commencement at Oahu College.

An extraordinary circumstance in connection with the Sake Bill, as it is popularly called, was that it was passed over the President's Veto by a nearly unanimous vote. The only reason assigned by Mr. Dole tor his veto waa "the serious hardship to Japanese uf small means of increasing the cost of their accustomed stimulant." Then .1 meaning of this is probably, that it is unwise to give cause of provocation to this restless class of the population. Repeal of Registration Act. An Act was passed, and went into effect in April, ordering the registration of every male in these islands, who was over fifteen years of age, with full description of his person, and with his thumb-mark. The special object ofthe law was to enable the Government properly to handle and control the 35,000 Asiatic immigrants. The law bad been loudly demanded in the interest ol white labor, and had been prominent in the election platforms. On putting the law into operation, an unexpected hostile clamor began to arise and to increase Many honorable citizens declared the thumb-mark an indignity, and any registration a measure characterizing despotic government. The Portuguese were stirred up to oppose it as a measure in the interest The natives were of" the planters. taught that it was a scheme to compel them to swear to support the Government, and became much excited about it.

The "Morning Star," and What She Means. This remarkable little bark, after being on the dock For examination of her copper and for some slight repairs, and laying at the Nuuanu Street wharf for a few days, sailed or steamed nut of the harbor tor her fourteenth voyage to Micronesia, on Monday the 22nd ul |une. In our Island world the event of the Sailing ol ships of note and of companies ■ii adistinguished manner in as 55 THE FRIEND passengers is observed unique. Just such a scene that of the sailing of the Australia foi .San Francisco, from tht Oceanic dock, or of the China from the Pacific Mail wharf, cannot he paralleled in any port of the world. The one or two thousand well dressed people on 'ie wharf, the departing passengers at the bulwarks, laden by then friends with wreaths upon their hats and around their necks, the grand band upon the wharf with its heavy drum thundering forth its noisy good bye, or in sweeter strains of "AuUl Lang Syne" calling to mind the days of long compasionship, all presents a picture that once seen, can nevei he forgotten. All life in Hawaii is a picnic, and the crowning picnic though not always the happiest, is the day of sailing away. The exercises held on the deck of the Morning Star on the eve of her departure, though not so noisy, were no less interesting than the parting celebration of larger ships. The friends of the missionary work in Micronesia, of which the Morning Star is the tangible representative, were out in numbers, to bid Mrs. Logan godspeed on her return to Ruk. to the scenes of the pioneer labors of herself and her lamented husband, and to wish Capt. Garland and his ship's company a speedy, safe, and happy voyage. And what was the bark laden with ? In the first place she had 200 tons of coal, to furnish the steam power to be used chiefly during calms and in entering and leaving the many harbors of the lagoon-island seas of Micionesia. For cargo she may be said to have almost everything useful to civilized man, from whetstones and jack knives, to bibles and hymn hooks in several languages; lumber, water casks, tanks, tools, bread stuffs, kitchen and other furniture, and largely groceries and family supplies. In one respect her cargo is totally different from that of most trading vessels that visit the islands of the Pacific. She carries no strong drinks and no tobacco. There is still another feature in which the Morning Star differs wholly from any other vessel that sails the Pacific seas. She is not permitted to touch at any port of Ponape or to have any communication with the inhabitants of that The people ot Ponape owe more i island. of their present degree of civilization and happiness to this Morning Star, and to those whom she bore to their shores, than to any other caise in the world.

Annual Meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. The Association representative of the native Hawaiian Churches, and in a measure of all the Congregational Churches in the land, met this year in Kawaiahao Church, its sessions commencing Tuesday, June 2nd, and closing Tuesday, June 'Jth. It was a more full meeting than some, of the later years, there being present .')(! pastors and eighteen delegates from the 55 native Evangelical churches. Early in the session greetings from the several foreign churches were received, as follows: From Rev. C. VV. Hill of the Hilo Foreign Church; from Rev. Mr. Birnie and Hon. A. P. Judd representing Central Union Church of Honolulu; from Key. K. K. Baptist of the Portuguese Protestant Church of Hilo; from Rev. A. Y. Soares of the Portuguese Church of Honolulu; from Rev. J. Oyabe representing the Japanese mission workers of the Hawaiian Board; and from Mr. F. W. Damon and Mr. Lung representing the Chinese work. The report of Mr. W. W. Hall, Treasurer of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association showed the receipts of the year to have been $27,172.52, whilethe expenditures have been $26,379.99, leaving a balance in th eTreasury of $792.53. A tic ii of $1,000 has been paid off during the year, leavingthe finances in a very good condition for the advance ot another year. The Acting-Corresponding Seoretary, Mr. (). H. Gulick, made the usual report of the general conditions of the work under the auspices of the Hawaiian Board. Key. O. P. Emerson now absent, was re elected Col responding Secretary, and Mr. VV. VV. Hall Treasurer of the Board. The annual examination of the students of the North Pacific Missionary Institute was conducted before the Association, under the lead of Dr. Hyde and Key. J. Leadingham. The pastors take a lively interest in this school from which the most of their own number have themselves graduated in past years. Among these graduates has been one Gilbert Islander who while the successful and beloved pastor of the Kekaha Church, Kona, Hawaii, died two years since; another is the Key. Joseph Aiu a full blooded Chinaman, brought up upon these islands, and whose language is the native Hawaiian, rather than Chinese. One of the most interesting of the present class of students is a Chinaman who under the inspiration of Mr Damon, and the instruction of the teachers, is fitting himself for the ministry of the word to his countrymen on these islands. Among the matters of interest discussed was the drink question, in regard to which it was voted that the evils of the use ofawa, and of spirituous liquors, be the subject of sermons on the first Sundays in March and September. Another subject was the support of weak churches, for which it is hoped that an Emergency fund may be raised. The questions of the marriage of lepers, of the lapsed charters ofchurches, and of the doings of the kahunas or heathen sorcerers, and of Sabbath observance occupied much attention. Key. M. Lutera, a returned missionary from the Gilbert Islands, who during the past year has misled some, and made trouble in some churches by professed power of prophesy, was disposed from the Gospel ministry by the unanimous action of the body. Honolulu Kindergartens. Another successful year of work in the Free Kindergartens has closed. The average of attendance has been higher the l?st of the year than it was the first, c has been a marked improveanH 'he deportment of the pupils. -11 Five ing women from Kawaiahao Seminary assist in the different kindergartens, and we rejoice in this new sphere of labor opening before the Hawaiian maidens. A training teacher from Chicago has been secured for next year, and we hope many will be found to avail themselves of the opportunity of fitting for kindergarten teachers. �56 THE FRIEND. Miss Ozawa after a few years of faithful work has resigned from the Japanese Kindergarten, and a Japanese lady hasbeen sent for, .to take her place. The Hawaiian Kindergarten also loses its excellent teacher. Some one will be found to take her place before the schools open in the Fall, and we hope that next September, full schools of bright children will greet enthusiastic teachers for another year of work. Testimony of Minister Wiilis. Since IL S. Minister A. S. Willis came to Honolulu originally to overturn the Republic and restore the Quean, his present favorable opinion of the Republic of Hawaii is of much interest, and should go far with the American people. For a representative of the Evening Star of Washington City he said •T could not desire more cordiality and manifestation of friendly feeling than 1 have received from both the citizens and the Government of Hawaii. Everything is peaceful, beautiful, tie. lightful on the Islands. The Legislature was about closing up its work when I left, and they accomplished several The immigration important things. question and a number of other question! are of great importance, but the Government has manifested wisdom and capacity in dealing with the questions as they arise. The Islands are enjoying a period of phenomenal prosperity and the people seem contented. There is no talk and apparently no thought of revolution or disorder. When people have money in their pockets and plenty to eat they are not apt to be discontented and to grumble. The immense crops and the high price of sugar have made money abundant." "Is there any talk of the restoration of (jueen Liliuokalani ?" "None whatever. There is no talk and apparently no thought of the restoration of the Cjueen. To show how far this is from the public mind, the Government lias granted a pension of $2,000 a year to Kaiulani, the heiress of Liliuokalani. Undoubtedly a suitable pension would have been provided for Liliuokalani but for the revolution, in which it appeared that she was very much involved. No, there does not appear to be any dissatisfaction with the present Government, or thought of its : overthrow. "Is there anything in the talk indulged in some time ago about danger to the Government?" "I think not. The Japanese partici- pate in the general prosperity of the country, and are therefore contented, as are the people. As long as this prosperity continues there is not apt to be any complaint of the Government, and it is likely to last long enough for the Government to be so well established as to maintain itself in the presence of any hard times or disasters that may come along in the course of events. Republican Planks of Interest to Hawaii. Two declarations in the Republican platform adopted at St. Louis, are of especial interest to Hawaii. One is that •'The Nicaragua Canal should be built, owned and operated by the United States." So strong a Nicaragua policy forecasts an early completion of that long delayed enterprise, which must very greatly affect the Commercial activity of the Pacific and of Hawaii. The other declaration is that "I In: Hawaiian Islands should be controlled by the United States, and no foreign power should be permitted to interfere with them." Opponents of annexation point to this expression as showing that the Republican Party propose to go no I,other than to give Hawaii some sort of a Protectorate, without admitting us lo the privileges of a member of the Union. On the other hand, the advocates of Annexation believe that the terms used merely indicate a judicious reserve, and that an intention to annex Hawaii can be read between the lines. In the meantime, by its orderly, capable and prosperous administration of its affairs, Hawaii is nobly proving its fitness to become a member of the American Union. Tidal Wave in Kona, Hawaii. A series of Tidal Waves of considerable destructive force visited the whole west coast of the island of Hawaii on the morning of Ibth, doing much damage to property at the various landings. The action of the waves began at Ka waihae at 8:10 a. m. demolishing the wharf. It proceeded down the coast. striking Kailua at X.M) a. m., where the third and highest wave at 9 a. m. flooded the lower floor of Miss Pans hotel, and carried all lumber piles into the bay. After damaging various wharves and landings on that coast, especially at Keauhou, Kealakekua bay, and Hookena, the tidal wave rounded the south point, striking the Kau landings at 9:40 \. m., Hilo was but doing slight damage. reaahed at ltf a. m., the water rising only eight feet. In bays on the Kona coast the sea hnd reached points twenty and thirty feet above sea level. The tides continued to come in all day at half hour intervals of ebb and flow. Our Honolulu tide-gauge records fourteer. small tidal waves of about one foot in height, lasting from 7 a. m. to 2 p. m. At the narrow head of the harbor there was an alarming succession of deep ebbs and flows, laying bare the mud flats and stranding fish.
