E)ur new year of '97 has come in iling after the storm. May this be a sage of better days for Hawaii after disquiet of the past decade. May our readers all enter the new year with high and joyful resolve to make a good record of duty and service. Let us live consciously under the clear and loving eye of God, who sorrows for our sins and rejoices in our efforts to JANUARY. corresponding to ours in native faculty, and in receptive sensibility, tho marred by no evil inclinations, no hidden tendencies to wrong wailing development; a life subject, like ours, to laws of growth, and dependent, like ours, on conditions of culture; needing the ministry of human tuition, and the silent discipline of the Divine training, while always answering to both with a purity and wisdom elsewhere unapproached; a life exemplary to the world, tho and because celestial suggestions breathe upon it. It is a child life, which serenely and unobtrusively appears, indicating that life as honored in the heavens, and lilting our hearts to the sun: expectation that infants beloved, going forth from our households, shall be instantaneously welcomed and at home in the supreme realms. A glory falls thus on the Inn and the Manger, which belongs to no cradle of princes in palaces, to no purple chambers in which imperial life was be gun; while, at the same time, the midand shining mj,ht song, and the angelic companies, swift and worshipful, reveal the illustrious levels of life from which this child-life has come forth, and toward which evermore afterward it tends. Some men stumble, while others adore, before the miracle of the Advent. Except for that miracle, the birth of a common Jewish babe in a village of Judea would have been among the most insignificant of events in the annals of mankind. With that, and through it. the heavens become proximate, lumi nous, .illuring, to the heart of the world. K. S. Storrs. 1897 Number 1 Palama Chapel Christmas Entertainment. Some SOfl people crowded the Chapel on the evening of the 21 st. The interior was finely decorated with palm leaves, maile, ferns and Hags. There was an opening exercise of songs and recitations ■B seventeen parts, after which ice cream and cakes were served by a number of Kamc-hameha students. A Christmas tree in the corner was then uncurtained, decorated with tapers and strings of popcorn. A large quantity of presents were distributed. A great amount of successful work has been done in Palama district by Rev. J. M. Lewis and his corps of workers, and a strong Sundayschool with its adjuncts shows the fruits. The Japanese Church made a special the eve of Christmas day. Their house was beautifully decorated. The Japanese stores contributed liberally, and a large distribution of presents was made. The Japanese Methodist Church kept the same evening in a similar manner. effort on Sundry Christmas Festivities.

Thousands among us have scarcely heard Jesus' name, though asking what these church spires mean ? May the lives of Christ's people this year be so rich in His temper and spirit as to carry constant lessons of His spiritual grace and beauty drawing all men to His higher heavenly life. Glory of The Advent. In the Advent, for example, with its mystery of Incarnation through the beautiful wonder of a virgin birth, is shown to us a personal life, like our own, coming to us out of the heavens— a life same boat the Christian church. was used—changed into a Gospel warSpecial services were also held in each of the churches on Sunday ship, with cannon in the ports.

While pure Hawaiian males are eleven pi r C< nt m excess of females, the male excess ol the Hawaiian born of foreign races is less than one-half of one per cent. Then- is no doubt that the double number of males in the country has a destructive effect upon the native females. i): •vr Is Football a Brutal Game? It is seriously contended by several ol our religious exchanges that football is so essentially violent and brutal th it it l'be should be forbidden by law. Interior goes so far as to maintain that Boxing matches are decent in comparj son. Is this so? It seems to us to show a lack of due discrimination. The essence of a boxing match is violence. It consists entirely in the two men administering to each other blows of the utmost violence, until one of them succumbs, being overcome by the punishment received from the weight and force of the other.man's lists. Brutal violence is the essence o! the game The delight of the spectators is found in observing the destructivi of the blows upon the human frame. Whatever injurious violence occurs in football is accidental, and not at all of the essence of the game, which is on id skill and activity and not of intentional If imm ual injury to the opponent violence is practised by any ol th< players, it is not a legitimate part ol the game. Here is a proper question: Is the nature of the game such that the tendency to injurious violence is too strong to be resisted by human nature as found in college students? If so the game should be prohibited as dangerous and brutalizing. Again, Is it not practi cable to make rules checking the evil tendency by making such severe in try a "foul" which will give the game to the side so injured? It is held by friends of the gann with apparent force of truth, that it is highly adapted to develop the manly qualities of courage, alertness, and lis ciplined unity of action. Are the bodily injurious incidental to the game BO great and frequent as to he too high a price to pay for the manly discipline? Facts from the Census. It is found that the entire population of the Hawaiian group has increased from 89,990 in 1890, to 109,009 m Mid, or over 11 percent. There are 7U.510 males to 36,494 females, one sex being nearly double the other. The excess is of course chi- 'iy c due to the large importations ol Asiatic laborers. In IX9O the relative proportions were IS to 7. Unpublished figures show the decrease of pure native Hawaiians during the I , * The Ex-Queen Visits America. Mis. age -n to San Liliuokalani Dominis took passDecember ith per S. S, China< Her going was a community, onlyhalf a dozen friends being in the secret. She was accompanied by Mrs. Kia Nahaolelua, and Jos. Ileleluhe. her private Secretary. The extreme secrecy ol her movement may easily be accounted I'm by a proper desire to escape any public demonstration. An hour he-tore sailing she called on President Dole to sa\ guild bye and thank him for the full pardon sent to her six weeks before, which left her free to go where she pit ased. The tx queen had been living in great quiet and seclusion since her re'ease a year ago from partial imprisonment in her former palace on account of compli city in the insurrection of 1896 She had voluntarily and very formally abdicated the throne on the "J-tth of January IS.li, and had taken the oath of allegiance to the Republic, which acts di fine her present political status as a simple citizen of the Republic of Hawaii. Nothing is publicly known ol the exqueen's intentions in making this journey in the dead of winter, undergoing severities of climate trying to any person Francisco, surprise to the entire ■ uted especially so to a native A natural conjecture is to bt in reach ot Washto use any opportunity Annexation of Hawaii, is likely to be actively in the nexl Congress, and by In ft in it meets.

As such, what she may see fit to urge should receive due consideration . Why the Natives need Annexation. Ie most strenuous efforts have been made, especially during the past four ■ 11 -, mainly opponents by a large body of white of the Annexation ol Hawaii to the United States, to arouse to the the animosity of the native popuTheir lation against that measure. have been sentiments of patriotism as movement to against a appealed to, i.,li them of their nationality, their independent c. then birthright, their flag, their rights anil franchises as the true People ol Hawaii. These efforts have been to a i onsiderable degree successful, although .t large body of native Hawaiian*, especially thosi ol the most intelligence and character, desire the success utmost tht measure. Why should they desire it? The answel is, because the native Hawaiians, than any other class, need the protection pi the United .States against the overbearing force ol the stronger races who outnumber them. The Polynesian is relatively B very weak race, as compared with Europeans and Monnt gooids. and need a Strong protection. What is likely to be the status of the Hawaiian, should the Islands continue as now, .t nominally independent government? There would continue to be a painful conflict between the sentimental claim of the natives to rule as being the original owners ol the country, and the practical neci ssity that the capable white race should do the ruling. The whites will have to rule, and will rule, whatever Hawaiian sentiment may call for, simply because the latter is incapable of handling the needs and exigencies of the civilization and commerce of this great central station of the glowing Pacific traffic. Unless the Hawaiian should cordially submit to take a back seat, which is unlikely, the ceitain tendency will be for the whites to force him back by the strong hand, to the serious detriment of his fl am Inses and i lghts. The stronger and dominant nice will certainly tolerate no unskilled tampering with the great �Janury, 1897.

He will be under lasting and assured protec tion. All tendency to conflict will cease, because in exchange for this acquired dignity and protection, the Hawaiian will have absolutely surrendered and lost all claim of exclusive right to rule, which has hitherto created collision, in which the native fares the worst. By all means let every true friend of the natives counsel them to seek shelter in the safe harbor of citizenship in the Great Union. They are a kindly and gentle, but a weak and wasting race, unfit to breast the storms of this open and tempestuous sea of so-called Inde pendence. Whatever might befall the stronger races in Hawaii, the natives will be sure to go under in the conflict. The Boston Sunday Post, prints a preposterous story about the intention of the Princess Kaiulani Cleghorn to come to Hawaii and starve herself as a propitiation to the fire goddess Pele. Miss Cleghorn is known as an estimable and sensible young lady, worthy of her ten years choice Christian training in England, whither she was wisely re moved in childhood, away from the hideous impurities and sorceries of her uncle Kalakaua's court, which ruined so many thousands of youthful Hawaiians of both sexes. The young Princess may be presumed to be entirely free from the degrading superstition imputed to her. New Church at Lahaina. Hon. Henry P. Baldwin of Maui has caused his father's old church at Lahaina to be replaced by an elegant modern structure costing about $10,000. The main auditorium is 40 by 66 feet, with gallery at the rear end. The roof is steep pitched with low eaves. The old Wainee church which this replaces was burned about three years ago. It was a massive stone structure, built in 1831 when Rev. William Rich ards was the resident missionary. Rev. Dwight Baldwin M. D. succeeded him in 1836, and preached in the old church for 36 years. The native population of Lahaina has declined from 4000 to a few hundreds. The town has become mainly absorbed by a prosperous sugar plantation. The magnificent beach and delicious sea breeze indicate a future for Lahaina as a health resort. It was the favourite residence of Royalty fifty and sixty years ago.

One third of those present were born in Hawaii. Nineteen were from four leading New England colleges, and six from other Resident in colleges in that section, these islands are at least half as manymore graduates, bringing the number up to 60 or more. The fact was noted by the Chief Justice that every one present was in favor of Annexation, which well illustrates the unanimity of Americans in Hawaii in support of that measure.

FBRAYNK GODFREY. There has long been needed information in a compact form, serviceable to passengers in transit, to enable them to put in their few hours on shore in sightseeing to the best advantage. The above named handbook will serve this purpose. It aiso contains a good amount ot general and precise informa tion about these islands. The book contains 8«i pages, including 32 pages of advertisements, and eight pages of illustrations. The information given is accurate, as might he expected from the very experienced compiler. The only error noticed is in the first paragraph which says,"The Hawaiians are supposed to be of Aryan stock migrating from Asia Minor." For "Aryan" put " Malaysian," and "Asia Minor" put Farther India." Physiognomy distinguishes Polynesians from Aryans as markedly as from Mongolians, but identifies them as congeners of interior tribes of Sumatra who are free from that Mongoloid mixture of blood, which has altered most of the Malay tribes.

S. E. Bishop. In Memoriam. On the 30th of last June, at Hutai lt.ti i. Rev. J. W. Kanoa, the first Hawaiian missionary to the Gilbert Islands entered into his eternal rest after the longest residence of any evangelist m Micronesia, He was born in Kehena, a small village on the rocky coast of Puna, Hawaii, in 1823. He received his education principally in Hilo. Here he early won the respect and confidence of his teachers. Zealous to have a share in the new en terprise of carrying the gospel to the benighted heathen of the regions beyond, he was appointed a missionary to Micronesia by the Hawaiian Misi Society in 1855. At the parting exer cises, held in the evening before sailing in the old Bethel, he stated the reason for his going. "The Friend" foi June, 1866, reports his words as follows, "The cause of my going out on this mission is on account of very exceeding great debt to the kingdom of God. 1 have land and cattle and horses and parents and brethren, and I have looked on all these things, but they will not cancel my debt: therefore I give my whole body and soul without reserve for their salva. tion, because this treasure was freelygiven to us; therefore we freely give Noble words without murmuring." these. He sailed on the 24th of May of that year, from Honolulu, with his wife Kaholo, and a young son, for Kusaie, the easternmost of the Caroline Islands. in company with Dr. and Mrs. Pierson, in the American whaling barque "Belle," Capt. Handy. On their way the "Belle" passed leisurely through the Gilbert and Marshall Islands, cruising for whales This and trading for cocoanut oil. afforded the missionary party an opportunity to gain some acquaintance with the inhabitants of these two groups. In the course of the cruise aho-.it two weeks were spent on shore by them at Apaiang, Where they met sonic of tin high chiefs, and thus in a measure prepared tin \ iv lor the introduction of the Gospel to that people in 18*7. They reached Kusait- in Oct., IS')"), and were residing there in l!S. >7, when the Morning Star arrived, The writer then met hun for the first time. Two Gilbert Islanders, Marie and his wife, Tekaoti, had been providentially picked up, when adrift at sea, by a Vessel, and had been landed on Kusaie. From them Kanoa and his wife had learned a few Gilhertese words and sentences, with the hope thai day they might be permitted to carry the Gospel to the Gilbert Islands. On the itith of September, IS, >7. Mis. Bingham and myself were designated by the Micronesian Mission, convened at Ponape, to cninineiice the work m the Gilbert Islands, Eleven lays later Mr. and Mrs. Kanoa were designated to the same field, and on the 18th ol November, 1857, we landed at the cap ital of Apaiang, were welcomed by the old king, Teniaua. and his popular and powerful son. Kaiea, and that day we secured a site lor building neai Koina Wa. I louses lor the two families were soon erected, and in January, 1868, We began little schools for the children who came about us. In June we hail made a translation ot the Lord's prayer, which was used for the first time, m the lit st public services held in Gilbertese, June 27, 1858. On this occasion Kanoa aided in speaking. On Apaiang we labored side by side, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, until June, lstil, when failing health compelled me to leave our brethren Kanoa anil other Hawaiian mission;tries in charge of the station. A lew converts hatl been bap ti/ed, and gathered into a church, Mat thew, KphesMiis and nearly all of John and a snies ol Bible Stories bail been printed on Apaiang, and three quarters vi the New Testament. I was gone three years, but during r r I lis first wife 1875, having been the mother of only two survive hun. died in eleven children. The memory ol my dear friend and fellow laborer KanOa is very sweet. A willing helper, he did what he could tn ..id in the introduction to and maintain.nue ut the Gospel among I heathen pet.pie.

But we would not call him back. After more than forty years of voluntary exile from his native shores, save three brief visits, and of earnest labor for the heathen, he has gone to his reward at the ripe age of 73 years, and is now doubtless in the presence of his Master with many of the redeemed who first heard from his lips the story of Jesus and His love. The memory of the just is blessed." Hikam Bingham. " Mr. Eganu, of Waihee and Wailuku, writes: "Last Sunday (Nov. if>th), Dr. E. G. Beekwith gave most solemn bap tism to four (Japanese). There were ten seekers, and six were asked to wait for further experience." Mr. Uyeda, pastor of the Japanese church in Hilo, Hawaii, reports that since he began work a little over a year ago, he had baptized 23 persons, three of them being women, all of whom have united with the church. Mrs. Uyeda assists him in his parish work. Mr. S. Sokabe, who has for three years been stationed as the Japanese pastor at Honomu, Hawaii, goes by the China back to Japan for a short visit of two months to his home. Mr. Sokabe's parish comprises the three plantations of Hakalau, Honomu and Pepeekeo, where is a total of about 1350 Japanese laborers. At Honomu the profit sharing system is in operation. Mr. Sokabe represents his countrymen on these plantations as having "much contentment," and also "much sake and gambling." The Sunday meetings are held at the chapel, which is in the central district, but there are weekly schools established in two adjoining districts. Mr. Sokabe reports quite a number of Japanese families and about twenty five children. It is his purpose to establish a kindergarten for them. He goes to Japan with the hope of returning with his sister as the Janury,1897. THE RRIEND ture, built in the days of the fathers, might be made much more comely and habitableand strong to stand as a memorial of the past, and as a needed land mark for the future. With the close of the year just passed the Rev. J. Waiamau closed his pastorate at the Kaumakapili church. This he was obliged to do because of HI health. This pastorate, immediately succeeding that ol the Rev. If. Kuaea, and continuing for fourteen years, has by no means been a tranquil one, for il came in a time of much agitation, pollti cal and otherwise. No Hawaiian pastor ever filled a more difficult position, and it may be added that probably none could have filled the place so well. It was during the pastorate of Mr. Waia mau that the new house of worship was built. By vote of the Oahu Association, taken at a special meeting held Dec. •28th ('96), Rev. O. H.Gulick is appointed to act temporarily as pastor till the church can be freed from debt and a new man called to the pastorate. The Rev. E. S. Timoteo, chairman of the Pastors' Aid Committee of the Association, has undertaken to raise the debt of the church. His energetic action has already secured pledges very nearlyequal to the amount necessary to pay off the retiring pastor. weapons, and in a struggle wherein morals and religion participated only as feeble allies." It may not appear that morals and religion facilitate the discovery of a star, or a law in nature, or even the achievement of a great national event; the benefit of that discovery or achievement to the world, however, is not so manifest until it is considered in the light shed upon it by religion and morals. Tint writer in the CenturyMagazine a lew years ago comes nearer the heart and soul of history when he says that in this World of mechanical achievement, that only is progress which is associated with and presided over bycertain very rigid forces known as moral and spiritual. Had that was a noble Confession of Professor Mhegard, of the University of Copenhagen, and formerlyknown as "the apostle of atheism in Denmark," that when the tempests of life had plunged him in sorrow, "the apostle of atheism in Denmark," "the cable of science broke like a thread;" and that when he had found peace in God, he did not abandon science, but "assigned to it another place in life."
