The public mind has just been directed towards the joy and duty of praise to God for his mercies. Is it not one of the greatest of his mercies that he has not suffered our people to be markedly lacking in beneficence, but has led many to the joy of being liberal in the bestowment of their gifts for the public service, and for the progress of the Gospel. An instance of this happy generosity has been in the means provided for the erection of the beautiful church for the Portuguese. A place of worship has also been bought for the Japanese, and mostly paid for. Many other good works have been wrought. It has been a year of exceptional financial prosperity, and many men are studying where prudently to invest their surplus dividends. May they be led to invest largely in wise and thoughtful outlay for the Kingdom of God in this land. May the Lord in his great goodness thus move upon men's hearts to worthy acts of public beneficence Large Opportunities in Prospect. things seem now to indicate Blany r at hand a rapid multiplication of as The probable event of Annexation should stimulate a large white immigration. The opening of an Isthiman Canal would promote it. Any prosperous and desirable management of such a state as Hawaii should become, as this great meeting point of the lines of Pacific commerce, will demand a capable and intelligent white population to conduct it. We may undoubtedly reckon on an ingathering of a strong population of English-speaking whites in Hawaii during the next twenty or thirty years; The anxious question arises, how far will this new immigration find its moral and spiritual affinities crystallizing around the sturdy nucleus of Christian life now existing here, or how much will it tend to succumb to degrading influences, and renounce that religion and virtue it had learned in the home land. The result is certain to be determined mainly by the amount of healthy vigor and vitality which the new comers shall find in the Christian life of the churches already flourishing in the Islands. They will find miich of evil here, and will bring much of evil with them—much of unbelief, godlessness, immorality. But the living loyalty of Christ's people to their Master is a mighty leaven. If active, it is fully capable of pervading and transforming very large masses of new additions to the existing population. We cannot doubt that this great function of so leavening the coming immigration isappointed toour Christian churches in these Islands, and that it has been largely in preparation for this work of spiritually shaping the new population that these churches have been planted and nourished here into so pros, perous a growth. The grand task is probably near at hand. The glorious opportunity is before our churches of creating and shaping what shall be a truly Christian State, in which God is honored, his laws observed, and righteousness and purity shall prevail. To fulfil rightly this noble mission it is needful that all Christian souls should live near to God, and gird themselves up to spiritual activity as good soldiers at Honolulu. the white population of these islands. increase will be a natural conserve of increase of shipping calling of Christ. Xi Number 12 89 HONOLULU, H. 1., DECEMBER, 1896. Volume 54. In this coming period of national growth, may every Christian rejoice in acting as a faithful soldier In the Lord's army, and not as a greedy camp-foilower clutching at gain, or as a waster of God's gifts, wantoning in luxury. Receipts of the A. B. C. F. M. The following statement respecting the steady increase of the receipts of the American Board of Missions, is most encouraging. It is taken from the Missionary Herald from November. By a special effort, last year's debt of $.14,-632 had been lifted, bringing up the years receipts to $742,602. Total expenditures for the year were $62.",970, involving distressing reductions in the various missions. With the present prospect of better times, an increase of receipts seems probable. Our own history speaks to us once more. "The orb of Christian work revolves," some one has said, "and carries nights and seasons as the year does." With a somewhat noticeable regularity the dark days have been seen in our history of finance, and then the receipts have risen to a higher plane, not to go back again. The false prophets of 1837 saw the end of our increasing receipts; again they were on hand in 1857; nor did tney forget their message in 1873, and we have heard their venerable words to day. We follow the decades of history and our inspired faith expects another advance as this century shall go out, if we are to keep step with the divine leadings. Our receipts averaged;— In the first decade In the second decade n the third decade in the fourth decade n the fifth decade n the sixth decade n the seventh decade n the eighth decade -- • 16,242 66,473 168,474 2551138 »Mm 451,910 462,959 645,109 We have passed six years into the ninth decade to find another advance, the average being $754,828. This spirit of missionary zeal is kindled at just the time of its greatest need. We cannot withhold the feeling that this is the time for another advance in which all the churches shall be enlisted. If it is true that we have reached the maximum of receipts, then we have a task from which the host of heaven may well shrink. The spirit of missions, the promise of Christ, the providences of God are all against a policy of retreat. �90 Mr. Amos. S. Cooke's Report of School mar lessons.

Though the eldest of our own two children was severely afflicted with the dysentery, his life has been spared, which calls for our devout gratitude. Soon after last years' general meeting, the king and chiefs visited Oahu, and while here, we had at their suggestion, an examination of our school. This was June 18, 1811, and the same day, we had a feast provided by the Governor Kekuanaoa, at which Capt. Hudson, with the kings and chiefs, and some of our brethren and sisters of this station were present. The whole exercises of the day were extremely pleasant, especially to the parents of our scholars. The king, though he had heard many reports detrimental to the school, appeared much pleased with what he saw and heard on that day. As our school had been laid aside for several days during our general meeting, we had no vacation after this examination. We have had none since, till within the last foui or five weeks, during which time we have been absent to Maui. The expenses of our school the past year have been sustained by the king and chiefs. We have always taken our meals with the children, of such as was provided. Sometimes the provision was scarce, and at such times we have supplied from our own resources. We think we have furnished to such an amount as to equal what we have received. Direct presents from the chiefs we have received none. Health and Sickness. —The day after our examination, Moses, our eldest boy, fell from a horse and broke the radius of his left arm. In February one of the small boys was severely afflicted with a dysentery. Soon after, one of our girls was affected with the pleurisy, and was an invalid for a month. With the exception of the above cases of sickness, the general health of our family has been very icmarkable. Studies. These have been very much the same that they were last year.

The fruits of these instructions have not been so apparent as we could wish, but their views of the doctrines of the Bible have undoubtedly been expanded. In March seven ot our scholars united with a children's Temperance society which excluded tobacco. Visit to Maui.— At the earnest wish of the king and chiefs, we have made a visit to Maui, not however without being first assured that we should be provided with accommodations similar to those enjoyed at Honolulu, and knowing for a certainty that there had-been a general alteration among the chiefs for the better. Though we did not think there would be any cessation to our labors by going with all our family to Maui, yet we thought there would be some change at least, and that this might operate favorably both on us and our scholars. We left home Wednesday morning, April 20, in the Paalua, and reached Maui Friday morning about daylight. As we had the vessel to ourselves the voyage was tolerable, though we suffered much from seasickness. Perhaps we cannot better set forth the interest the parents felt in our school than by giving a short account of our reception. As soon as they had learned that we had arrived, Kekauluohi and her husband, and Paki. com'- out with a double canoe to carry us to the shore. There we met with the king and the remaining chiefs. Some of the high chiefs made immediate preparations for our breakfast—provided a long table, and filled it with such food and such variety as would suit almost any one's palate. And when we were seated—the king and Auhea sitting with us -they served as waiters, using a kahili with much more activity than s common native, and appeared more pleased with the privilege of serving than of being served. It reminded us of what we had heard of ancient Hawaiian hospitality, when Kaahumanu used the kahili to brush away the flies from Nahienaena. After breakfast we were conducted to the large two story dwelling of Hoapili near the meeting-house, which had been previously fitted up for us, and of which we took possession, and kept it until we were ready to return, which was about four weeks. The tendency of such respect shown to the children, was to lift them up and render them rebellious. But our fears were not realized, though at times they felt uneasy under restraint. The children "Sunday, November Ist, was the day for the dedication of the new Portu guese Chinch, and a large crowd gather ed to hear the addresses. The church is quite large, ami the interior is arranged so that there may be four rooms, or by raising the partitions they may all be thrown into one, allowing a seating capacity of 600. The services were impressive, and commanded the attention of everyone present. When the appeal was made for funds there were numerous liberal donations, one of $250 and another ot $60 by a young son of W. A. Bowen. The amount raised through cash and pledged subscriptions was $ 1,636, This more than covers the amount stated in the Treasurer's report as being needed. Religious work among the Portuguese had advanced steadily in Hawaii until to day it shows beneficial results. It was not many years ago that the Mission started in an humble way, and to day the Portuguese Church ranks among the largest denominations.

Bowen, who has been active in the affairs of the church since the beginning, spoke as follows: "Although it is the regular custom in this mission to take up a collection, yet it is hoped that the collection at the time of this dedicatory service may be of unusual amount and character. It is naturally suggested by the IMStipplied needs, as just named by Mr. Cooke, for the Building Committee, in turning over this new building for the uses of the Portuguese mission, to Pastor Soares, Superintendent under the Hawaiian Board. "It must be remembered this movement was not for the building of a church alone, but for the increasing of our opportunity for usefulness in secular instruction as well. Therefore, the need may be briefly stated as follows: To complete the payment of outstanding bills for the erection of this building will require $1,000, and to provide for insurance, fencing and the changing of old church into the much needed school building and furnishing same with seats will take $5. >o more, thus making a present necessity of about $l,.r>0(), ex- r clusive of a certain $2,500 so faithful in their attendance.

"Among the reasons advanced by Judge Hartwell for prompt action in the matter of annexation, was the constant increase in the number of Japanese arriving here. 'There are,' he said 'five Japanese immigration companies in Honolulu, and unless there is a material change, these societies will soon run the country.' "—P C. Advertiser, Nov. 28. Since the native Hawaiians have dwindled to less than 40,000, and Hawaii is evidently destined to become re plenished by a large foreign population, it must be the earnest desire of wise and patriotic men that this impottant central group of the Pacific should become occupied by the Christianized white race, rather than by Asiatics. It may be possible for a planter who thinks only of immediate dividends to desire the continued importation of Asiatic contract laborers. But every patriotic citi zen of Hawaii, who desires her destiny to be a noble one, must crave annexation to the United States as speedily as may be, in order to bar out this influx of Asiatics and determine our future as a home of the white race.

Through Mr. John W. Foster, Col. Spalding asked for an additional exclusive privilege for landing cables in Hawaii to connect with Japan and Australia. He asks for no change or extension of time for arrangements with respect to his existing exclusive privilege for landing a cable from the American coast. On the 1 4th, the President and Cabinet held an important conference upon the subject with leading business men of Honolulu. The opposition to the proposed grant of exclusive privilege was very decided, and nearly unanimous. Messrs. L. A. Thurston and John W. Foster stated to the conference the reasons for the grant. Mr. Foster was notified on the 17th, that the Government was unable to comply with Col. Spalding's request, but hoped for his success in building the line originally proposed to Hawaii, . — RECORD OF EVENTS. — - - - �94 . [December, 189^ THE FRIEND.

Emerson, The Editor of this page is grateful for the respite he has enjoyed from work. He is sure that it is good to he away awhile from one's work, to he ahle to look at it from a distance, see it in its proper perspective, and so think about it in a different way, but it is also good, after having had the far view, to come back to it, to be again St close range, with the advantage of rest and travel. We hear that the Kauai Minister's Institute is to hold its first meeting Tuesday, the Ist of December. On the same island on the 15th of November, Mi. Isaiah Kaauwai was ordained and installed as pastor at Kapaa. He comes into the ministry after years of careful preparation at the North Pacific Missionary Institute. He is a man of much ■tiirdiness of character, and one from whom we expect good work. On November '.:9th Rev. G. L. Kopa was ordained as pastor of the church at Waimea, Kauai. He has already served a Long pastorate there and achieved the bringing together of a church. Much credit is due him as a patient and pain staking minister. Rev. S. Kaili has been settled at Hanalei, Kauai, and still Mr. Lydgate writes for two more men, one for Koloa, and the other for Lihue. After nearly three years of service in connection with our Board, Messrs. S. Kaiul.t and K. Kguchi have returned to Japan, their native land. Mr. Kguchi goes to care for his aged father who is ill. Mr. Kanda expects soon to return and renew his work at Kohala. He has shown himself to bean able and a faithful missionary to his people in that district, and is much respected by the white residents who have given him his support. He has had the pleasure of seeing a chapel built for the congregaIt is said that he tion he has collected. himself has assumed the debt of $200 which remains on It. If so, he ought in time to be reimbursed. During his stay at Makaweli, Mr. Kguchi has done good work. He has established two Sunday services and two week day evening schools for the Japan ese. The attendance at the meetings have averaged about twenty-five, the baptisms have numbered eighteen. He returns to Japan with our sincere respect. Mr. T. Yamazaki of Lihue, the onlyother Japanese evangelist on Kauai, will now add the Makaweli perish to his own. The Key. J. Waiamau, pastor of Kaumakapili Church of this city, was taken quite seriously ill last Monday, Nov. 2Sld. The attack was of a paralytic nature, but fortunately not so severe but that the doctor expects his reasonable recovery. Mr, Waiamau is easily the Nestm of the Hawaiian pulpit. He is a man of much ability anil soundness ot judgment. His counsels have more than once prevailed in the conferences of the churches at times when there was great need of wisdom. He belongs in that sturdy group of men whom father Alexander trained for the Hawaiian pulpit, to which such men as Kek.ihuna, Nawahine, and Manase belong. As a loyal supporter of thepresent government he has encountered the ill will of a portion ol his people. ThtS has been an embarrassment to him in his work and he has of late suffered from a lack of hearty support. It is said that at least SMIO are due him on his salary. Dauhtless these troubles have weighed heavily upon him. Indeed we have known him at times to be in actual need of the necessaries of life. While giving our sympathy it is a time when friendly aid should not be withheld from him and when all his tines should be paid. The North Pacific Missionary Institute Again. Last month this page was taken up by an earnest appeal from the pen of Mr. Leadingham in the interest of the North Pacific Missionary Institutemore teachers were called for and also an endownment fund. The much needed endowment has not yet been secured, but the te.icher has. Rev. O. H. Gulick of the Japanese mission has been asked to take a class, and he has consented to do so. It is understood that his department will be Old Testament history and exegesis with probably a little theology thrown in. We congratulatethe school on this addition to its faculty. In such a school as this, the individuality of the teacher counts for a great deal. He is a religious guide, where not only learning, hut goodness is needed; where the power of a holy example goes further than the acuteness of a brilliant mind. Pupils need to get into touch with their teachers and feel the strength of their characters. They need close, wise counsels. It was thus the missionary fathers trained some of the best men of the Hawaiian pulpit. Mr. Bicknell's most potent influence was a personal one. With his thorough understanding of the nature and language of the Ha waiians, his apt knowledge of the Bible and sanctified common sense, we believe that Mr. Gulick is peculiarly fitted to instruct the students of the Institute.- 95 Wilh Parker, the Robertson of the Ha waiian pulpit, as the lecturer on sermonising, and L—dinghsni the instructor in English and general guide of the Hawaiians into its religious wealth, and now Gulick, Dr. Hyde must feel that he is well supported The valuable service which for years he has rendered this Institute, ought long ago to have been thus supplemented. It but remains to secure the aid of Dr. Hingham as lecturer on missions, and that of the leading native pastors in the delivery of lectures on special subjects, to make the entire curriculum of ihe school very attractive and complete. That Old Leak. The following letter from Capt. Garland to Mr. P. C. Jones, chairman of the Morning Star Committee, and dated Hutaritari, July 1 fith, gives the latest news from Micronesia and from the "Star." "Dear Sir: We arrived here yesterday morning, eighteen days from Honolulu. We find Mr. Walkup here, he having just arrived from a trip through the group. He reports the outlook brightening for mission work. Dancing is on the wane at this island. The king has abolished it altogether. The Star leaks more than ever. The first few days out we had a strong wind and a rough sea and were obliged to pump full)' six hours out of the twenty four. As the sea got smoother the leak lessened, until now it is about as at the last voyage. "When we get back from Ruk to Kusaie, most of the cargo will be out. I shall then probably get the stern out on a sand bank and look again for the leak. By going into the shaft alley as far aft as we can get, we can hear a stream of water running in. It sounds large. It is so near the stern post we cannot tell on which side it is. As the stern comes out of the water we hope to be able to locate the leak; otherwise all is going well with us. Yours truly, Geo. F. Garland. Ewa Plantation is about to occupy 1300 acres more of upland, partly above its present fields in the east part of Honouliuli, and partly in Waimanalo on the western side. In order to irrigate the new acreage, twelve new artesian wells with powerful pumps are to be located a quarter of a mile further up than any oi the present wells. For the purpose of making this enlargement, $260,000 moTe of the Stock is to be issued and paid for at par, making the whole capital $1,000 000. �THE FRIEND. 96 | December, 1896. to what to do with itself, and whether it quickening into new life of many who amounts to anything after all ! ! ! had grown cold. Three chapels in disthe past fifteen years the A year ago it was just after the war, trict cities near us have all been opened Future City Extension. During course of city extension has mainly been eastward towanls Punahou, and up the slopes of Punchbowl. There is still a large amount of vacant space in that direction, although every section therehas now been invaded by new dwellings. There are nearer the center considerable sections still untouceed. The iarg est and best of these is the tract lying between Liliha Street and the Insane Asylum, which is as yet an unbroken stretch of taro patches of perhaps 150 acres. A continuation across this tract, at some not distant future, >f Vineyard, School an,l Kuakini Streets, will open a region of very desirable building ground, fanned by the breeze from Nuuanu Valley, which is much cooler than that over the eastern or Waikiki side of the city. Within the above designated sections east and north from the Post Office, ,more than twice the present population of the city can be accommodated without crowding. We may safely predict that within 25 years the space will all be needed. Doubtless an extended system of city railway will then ramifyto all portions thereof. Due provisions for light and water supply with sewerage, will also be made. There will be abundance of work for a strong municipal government. The external change in the city will be great, yet less than during the past twenty years. Letter From Rev. Arthur H. Smith. Pang Chaung, Shantung, China, | October 25th, 189G. , Key. S. B. Bishop, D.D. Pear Sir: —I think it is just about a year since I wrote you soon after my return to China, and I am reminded of the islands and their interests by the recent arrival of the report of the Hawaiian Hoard, as well as that of the "Cousins' Society." The Corresponding Secretary encloses a slip in the latter wanting to know whether the reports are received regularly, and appends the singular interrogation, 'would you prefer not to have them sent any longer ?' Of course I cannot speak for the genuine blue blood bred-in-the-bone cousins, but being only an appendix and an accidental afterthought, 1 should be glad to have my copy continued —thank you, if it were only for the tender and graceful notices of the various members living and dead, this time from the loving pen of •L. B. C It is a strange contradiction of modern scientific dicta as to the survival of the most fit, that a society such as this, which is doing more good to the square inch than almost any other of which I happen to have any knowledge, is always in an attitude of interrogation as and while there was no particular bright spot at any one point, there was a feeling abroad that China must in some way benefit by so vast and so humiliating a snub from littlejapan. Theswortlfish had demolished the whale, which was only allowed to go into business again because it was necessary to have so large an oil producer kept out of the general market. A year has passed, full of uneasiness, as is the modern lot of all empires, kingdoms, yea, and Republics Hawaii possibly excepted and we are no nearer to any definite solution of the Chinese problem than we were at the close of the war. China lacks manythings, but she has an over supply ot that 'dumb stupidity' against which according to Schiller, even the Gods are powerless. For thirty years she has been playing off one country against another, and with a fine ignoring of the most significant lessons of modem organization and progress, the 'Powers' have failed to cooperate, anil so at this end of the Asiatic continent as at the other, the balance of power has been with the weakest. Meanwhile the slow but deadly Russian bear creeps ever southward, and it has come to be generally understood that the only reason whyhe refrains from slicing bits of China here and there, is because he expects not long hence to get the whole of the northern part! If the English press in China is to be believed, English influence is on tbe wane in the east. But there are still those who darkly intimate that the only object Great Britain has in getting its nose between the teeth of her enemy, is that thereby there may be got the better leverage to hurl him to the earth ! From the missionary point of view the past year has been a prosperous one in all the missions of which we happen to hear. Large and helpful conventions have been held in the interest of Christian endeavor, and also of the studentvolunteer movement, in Shanghai, Foochow, Chefoo, Tientsin and Peking. The attendance of native preachers and members to whom this is an entire novelty has been large, and the effect has been most stimulating in many ways. It would seem that the age of conventions has now arrived in China, by which many and important results must be brought about. In our little station, where we have but two preaching missionaries, a doctor and three single ladies, we have had considerable expansion, and good promise of more 1 think about sixty have been baptized since the Ist of January, and twice as many received on a probation—like that of our Methodist friends —which is never less than six months, and may extend to years. But more important than this we reckon the — — within six months, and in each case with unwonted promise of speedily getting a wide and favorable hearing. The board has been obliged to reduce our appropriations, bvt we have ventured to launch out into the deeper waters, trusting that the Lord will show us a way to keep his work alive, so far as it is ours so to do. I cherish the memory of the few months spent in ihe Hawaiian Islands, as among the most enjoyable of my life. I believe there are no better people to be found on the planet than theie, and that a large part of the planet has been directly or indirectly benefitted by them. Very Sincerely Yours, Aktiu'K H.
