Sayce is not in the least a worshipper of the Bible- but he has too much science to follow Kuenen and VVellhausen, 01 their disciples, Driver, Briggs and Harper, who cut the Pentateuch into small slivers, the product of many different writers, which somebody pieced together. Sayce is an accomHe has com plished Assyriologist. pared the Babylonian account of the Deluge with that in Genesis. The "Higher Critics" have proved, as they think, that the Genesis story is a compilation from two distinct writers whom they call fehovistic and Elokistic. They have confidently picked out the passages belonging to each writer. Now tonus Dr. Sayce and shows that out of nineteen distinct resemblances between the Babylonian epic and the so carefully dissected chapters in Genesis, twelve are found in the Elohistic part, and seven in the Jehovistic. Now the author of the Babylonian Bpir lived before the time of Abraham, and so could not have had Genesis before him. Sayce says it is hence evident, "that the division of the biblical text into a Jehovistic and an Elohistic document is a philological mirage. And if it is a mirage in the account of the Deluge, where the marks of separate authorship apptar to be clearer than anywhere else in the Pentateuch, it must be still more a mirage elsewhere. With the collapse ol the literary analysis of the narrative of the Deluge, the whole fabric ol the literary analysis of the Pentateuch falls to the ground." With our own limited scholarship and reading of the higher critics, we yet have received a very clear impression that their methods are extremely fanciful and unscientific. Their treatment of specific passages is conjectural, and then they argue from their fanciful 81 The Friend.

It is very gratifying that archaeology gaining more and more the power to bring these fantastic conjectures of the critics to the sure test of ascertained iacts.

Independent we excerpt some statements. No. J7 of "Catholic Papers" written by ultra Anglican ritualists denounces the Reformation, and says the great aim, "Is to win our way back into the unity of Western Christendom, and to set the English Primate once more in his proudest place the right hand of the Throne of Peter, to whom belongs jure divino the Primary of all." But Leo XIII declares that the Archbishop of Canterbury is not in orders at all. He will not admit such pretenders as the Anglican Clergy to sit with him. Procul, o procitl este profiiui !" All this is very sad. To most people the task ol bunging the English Church back to the groveling superstition and credulity of preKeformation times seems somewhat hopeless. But to believe in what seems impossible is the joy of these queer medieval dreamers. The great British people have too much solid sense and love of liberty not to hold in scorn such despicable reneThe gades from religions liberty. strength of British Christianity is now, as heretofore, outside of the State Church, The "Throne of Peter! These renegade Anglicans bow down to the Giant Lie of the Ages. Peter certainly never was "Bishop ol Rome." The weight of evidence shows that he never was in Rome. Even if he had been Bishop, he held no Primacy in the Church of Christ. Nor if Primate,'did he, or could he, ever delegate that office to any successors. The whole scheme of Peter's Primacy or Throne is a preposterous falsehood, and the Papacy based thereon. IRa gigantic usurpation. ' Valuable Gift.

Vol. 54, No. 11.] the afternoon they have read in their native bibles, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and other select portions. On the Sabbath they have always attended native service twice, and sometimes the oldest have attended English service at the Chapel. After all, none give evidence of having passed from death into life, although at times some have shown a little seriousness. Their conduct upon the Sabbath has been much better than we antici pated. By precept and example we have striven to teach them great reverence for the Sabbath, the impropriety of visiting aed receiving visits, and the wickedness of wasting the day in frivolous conversation. Generally our labors have been more fatiguing on that day than on the other days of the week. Difficulties and trials. We have spoken freely of the encouragements with which we have met, and perhaps it may not be amiss to allude to some ol the difficulties and trials that have at times obstructed our path. From the commencement we havebeen watched by the numerous kahus of the children who have been extremely jealous of our influence over them, and more especially since the children have been separated from them. In some way or another they would hear of all that was transacted within the house, and with such additions and subtractions as they chose to make, they would pour their complaints into the ears of the parents and chiefs to the no small detriment of us the teachers. The parents being alway free to come into the establishment, would frequently come and learn the truth or falsehood of the stories coming constantly to their ears. They sooi. found they must not give credit all they heard. From the first we have walked with careful but decided steps. We knew our motives were not appreciated as they should be, either by parent^, children, or kahus. We have tried tv please them all, but more especially our Master in Heaven. At one time one of our domestics became disaffected, and reported that one of the boys was sick and had not eaten for two days. A grandmother came to see and found it to be false. However, it so worked upon her mind that a few days after when we were returning on horseback from our bathing excursion, she called the man who had her grand son to carry him to her. He did so, and she would not give him up again for some time until forced to by li, the kahu appointed for the boy by the King, who after conversing with her upon the impropriety of her conduct, actually took him by main strength and returned him to the school. The conduct of this woman was universally disapproved by the parents. Ghost stories, etc. —We had not been here many weeks before one of the older girls heard of the death of one of her kahus, and told the other children that the — spirit of her kahu was after her. That night one of the smaller boys fell out of bed, and was exceedingly frightened, and cried with a loud cry, a ghost ! a ghost ! They all would have it that the house was haunted, and we were somewhat fearful they all would leave. At another time, they heard that a sorcerer on Maul had prophesied that all who entered the school would die. This also made them uneasy for several days. At another time, as I was waLing out one morning with two of the eldest boys, the elder Stepped over a mark in the road. The other saw it, Stepped back, and cried to the elder one that he had crossed that maik made by a sorcerer, and that he would be prayed to death. His mind was so troubled about it that he was truly sick. His mother happened to be here about that time, and she rather confirmed his fears. But when Kekuanaoa heard of it, he told her she must not come any more to see her son. At first, however, Kekuanaoa fell in with the mother, and sent one morning three times before breakfast to have the boy go down to the fort and take some native medicine. I finally sent word that he had better send the medicine up, which he did and the boy took it. It was a week before he got entirely over it. They used sometimes to talk about lapus, until I repeatedly explained to them the nature of one. For some months we have heard nothing about ghosts, or lajuis, or sorcerers, neither are they so af.aid of the dark as they once were. Their selfish feelings. —These were very apparent when we first commenced, each feeling that everything should con tribute only to him and herself. But we are happy to see that they are learning that the world is wide enough for them all, and that others have rights as dear to them as their rights are to themselves. Reports to the chiefs. —About the Ist April, I wrote in native a report of our school up to that time, and sent it to the parents and chiefs at Lahaina. I have not learned what they did with it. I also wrote to Mr. Richards about his suggesting to the chiefs the propriety of their paying us a salary if we continued their school another year. I told him if they were able and withal willing, our relations to the Board and Christian community required us to get our support from them. I wished them to pay whatever they did pay into the Depository, and we draw our allowance from thence as usual. From that, as yet, we The past have also heard nothing. year they have furnished us with most of our eatables, but we have expended from our stipend for the school much more than enough to balance all that. We have furnished some books, ftc Our crockery is mostly broken. Our stove and kitchen furniture have also been nearly destroyed. We have also expended something for repairs about the house. These facts I stated in my letter to Mr. Richards, lest the chiefs might get the impression that they were already doing something towards our support. It is true that they have furnished us with a house to live in, but this has been helping the mission, and not us as individuals of that mission. In conclusion, allow us to say that we are tired in the work but not of it. Though our number has been small, we have endeavored to benefit them the more Even the few have driven ua much more than we have been driven since we have been on missionary ground. The importance of such a school has greatly increased in our estimation, and as its importance has increased, our incompetencytothe task has also increased. But like Mary, we have endeavored to dowhat we could. Brethren, pray for us, and these interesting children, and should we, or anyone else continue the school another year, may we not hope that the blessing of God will descend in answer to your prayers, and these future rulers of the nation be converted in their youth, and be so accustomed to do good, that they ahall become a great blessing to themselves, to the nation, and to the church. So pray your fellow-laborers in the kingdom and patience of our Lord Jesus Christ. A. S. Cooke. The Woman's Exchange. This institution, underthe auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, was reported at the annual meeting ol the latter on Oct. 20, as having met a fair amount of financial success. Their quarters were removed several months ago to the old Gazette building on Merchant street, which was renovated and fitted up. There in the front rooms are sold the various curios, fans and other handiwork of depositors. A lunch room has also been maintained, where needy house keepers are enabled to dispose of the dainty products of their cookery. This has been much frequented by the business men of the city.

A large audience at Pauahi Hall, Punahou, on the evening of October 13, listened to Professor W. T. Brigham's condensed and graphic story of his recent tour aiound the globe of eight months via Fiji, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Colombo, Suez, Naples, Rome, Florence. Vienna, Berlin and other cities ot Europe and England. It was a special treat to have glimpses of so many places revealed by such a tourist's rare powers ol observation. The accomplished Curator of the Bishop Museum has evidently accumulated during his tour large additions to the stole of Polynesian antiquities and art specimens, and especially of jihotograjihs of all important objects of the kind in the various European Museums, many of which came from Cook and Vancouvel and other early explorers. The lecturer evidently avoided with scrupulous care, all mention of one lead ing object of his trip, the plans in view for the great Aquarium proposed to be established in Honolulu by the munificence of the Hon. C. K. Bishop undei Prof. Brigham's direction. Statements upon this subjeci were doubtless reserved for future fitting occasion. They will be awaited with interest. We have an as yet Somewhat uihUfined hope of being in a very few years permitted to insjiect strange sea dem /ens of a multitude of species, disporting in a not uneasy confinement. It is to be supposed that in the selection ol species, the line will be drawn at least at whales.

A considerable numhei of public and private buildings are being con structed in the sister city. A large new hotel is to be built immediately on the site of the present one. The post oilier is being extended and improved. Sev eral new stores are in progress of building. Hilo is well supplied with Waterworks, Ice works, Electric lighting and Telephones. The town already has about .00 miles of macadam roads into the country, and these are rapidly being extended. It has a great future before it. �Vol. 54, No. 11.] 85 THE FRIEND. Victoria's the Longest English Reign. Shrievalties Vacated and Filled. All English speaking nations are deeply interested in the notable fact that on the 21th of September, Victoria, Cjueen of Great Britain and Ireland, had reigned one day longer than her grandfather, George 111,, who had exceeded all his predecessors, by a reign of fiftynine years and ninety-seven days. The reign of Victoria has been one of high personal honor to herself, and of the greatest brilliancy in literature, science, art, foreign conquest and colonial development, (iod has greatly blessed Cjueen Victoria, her subjects, and the other nations who are their kindred. It needs no gift of prophecy to believe that He will continue to bless and prosper them. No monarch of the long British line more truly commands the earnest respect of mankind than Victoria Xi Gi Hitchcock, Sheriff of Hawaii, and ex-Marshal, has been appointed Circuit Judge of Hawaii, in place of Hon, S. L. Austin, deceased. Lorrin A. Andrews, Sheriff of Maui, has been appointed Sheriff of Hawaii. L. Mansfield Baldwin, for one month Sheriff of Kauai, becomes Sheriff of Maui. Increase of Ocean Steamers at Honolulu. During the last three months ol I vi.l, the number of ocean steamers calling at this port averaged seven a month. They now average thirteen, or an annual rate of increase of two per month. At this rate by the end of 1905, Honolulu must provide wharfage for :ll steamers a month, besides their attendant coal ships, which will require equal or greater accommodation. By the end of I'JOO, or four years hence. ..'I steamers a month must be cared for. Indeed the ratio of increase is likely to accelerate. And the additional ships are likely to average greater length, tonnage and speed than the present ones. It is evident that our harbor facilities are going to be strained to the utmost. At times there will be six 01 eight ships simultaneously in port, in a harry to coal up and be oil. At piesent there are only two suitable wharves. Two more are projected, and it is hoped, will be available in a year or more. Another pair are intended to follow, say m two or three years from date. Probably other available locations for deeji water wharves may be found in the harbor. Whenever an Isthmian Canal is opened, a large additional fleet of steamers will pour in upon us. It seems doubtful whether room for them can be found at all in this harbor, or whether dockage could be constructed fast enough. The.c is howver, the amplest room to be found in Pearl Harbor. The time is evidently not distant when the use of that commodious haven will be imperatively required. It remains to be seen whether the United States will dredge out and open the bar for the purpose of a Naval Station in time for our commercial necessities, or whether the Hawaiiart Government will be compelled to aSsume the task. Our commercial prospects are certainly promising. Enough is Hon. H. E. Cooper, Minister of Foreign Allans, accompanied by his stenographer Marx, sailed per S. S. Miowcra for Vancouver on the 2!) th. It is understood that Mr. Cooper goes partly on private and partly on public business. He contemplates two months absence will be in Washington in December. — Unwise Methods of Teaching. A correspondent of the Evening Bill Ictin gives the following sample: My youngest hopeful returned home from school last evening with the following as a samjile of the arithmetic lesson of the day: "Mary gathered 37 mangoes on Monday, 43 on Tuesday, 64 Wednesday, IV on Thursday and 76 on Friday. How many mangoes did Mary gather during the five days?" The answer, to be written out in accordance with the formula adopted by the educational authorities, is something like this: "This is a problem in addition. Since Mary gathered 37 mangoes on Monday, 43 on Tuesday, 64 on VVednesday, lil on Thursday, and 76 on Friday, Mary must have gathered the sum of 37 mangoes, 13 mangoes, 64 mangoes, 19 mangoes, and 76 mangoes, or 239 mangoes." "Mr. Editor, what earthly sense is there in that kind of instruction? What benefit is it to a child to go through such a circumlocutory course in order to obtain a simple result?" "How is it that the average school teacher becomes so imbued with the idea that any such tomfool method as the above will broaden and expand the intellect ola child?" We can testify to the correctness of the above. Normal Schools have much to answer for in training young teachers to foolish methods. No amount of technical training can exempt a teacher from the need of exercising independent good sense. Comets Not Dangerous. The following paragraph is going the rounds: "Professor Falk of Vienna announces that the earth will collide with a comet on November 13, 1899. The earth itself will survive the shock, but every living thing will be choked with poisonous gases and he finally cremated." now known of the structure of comets, to make it safe to say that a collision with one would have little effect upon the earth. The most that would be noticed would be a swarm of shooting stars, from the combustion mom atmosphere of the little meteoric stones, of a cloud of which the nucleus of the comet is composed. The vapors of the coma and of the tail are mainly carbon and hydrogen, and so tenuous that their presence could not be perceived at all. Punctured by a Swordfish. The barkentine Irmgard arrived at San Francisco Sept. 22d, with a load of sugar from Honolulu, having sprung a leak on the passage. On examination, the blade of a swordfish was found driven into the bow at the water line. It had passed through the planking and broken off about a foot from the outside. No wonder that whales succumb to the stabs of swordfish. Full Pardon to Liliuokalani. On the 23rd uit., the Council of State unanimously voted in favor of a full pardon being granted to the ex-queen, who had previously been under parole. Such pardon by the President was ac- cordingly delivered to her on the i7th. Few comments have appeared in the daily papers. There appears to be gen eral apathy on the subject. RECORD OF EVENTS. Oct.

Ciulick, Shall the North Pacific - Editor. Missionary Institute Have an Endowment? RByev.Leadingham. J. The Theological School is a necessary factor in the moral and religious forces of any civilized country. It has a definite work to tlo in training the men who are to fill the pulpits of the land and be the leaders of the people in their religious life. Upon its efficiency the success of this work will largely depend, and its efficiency will depend upon the thoroughness of its equipment. All of this is especially true of the Theological school in these Islands. It is the natural agency for continuing the Christian work which was begun here seventy-five years ago, and from which so much of good has come. The Fro testant native churches have looked to it in years past for their pastors, and in time to come it should naturally be the source, to which the other peoples who are finding their homes here, can look lor their spiritual leaders. Hut this school is, as yet, in a process of development. With the growth of morals and intelligence in the country, new demands are being made upon it, which, with its present outfit, it is no longer able to meet. As its name implies, it has heretofore been a missionary school, under the direction ol missionary boards, and provided for from the funds of missionary societies. Hut the question may now fairly be raised whether the time has not come for a change of method in its management and support. Not that there is no longer missionary work to be done, nor that there is no longer need of aid. The contrary is true. There should be more work done and there is more need of aid. Hut the two Hoards from which the funds are provided, are now taxed to the limit of their ability. The American Hoard is carrying on its work on a much reduced basis. The Hawaiian Hoard has been in debt at various times in the past two years. It is in debt at the time of this writing, with the greater part of the year's expenses still to be met. This indicates a rowing work. Under these circumstances, there is no hope of sufficient enlargement on a secure basis, either for the work which the Hawaiian Board is doing in school and church, among the various peoples in the Islands, or in the work of the Institute. But if that branch of the 87 Protestant work which has been the In order to make progress and secure dominating religious influence in past a satisfactory result from the course of years, is to be carried to a successful study, a regular curriculum is needed, issue, there should be enlargement and and a division of the students into classes, strengthening of forces in of both these according to their years of residence in departments. the school.
