In the "Parliament of Religions," organized by Dr. Barrows, there were some features which seemed to allow to the Ethnic religions a species of peerage alongside of Christianity, instead of making God's revelation in Christ of sole authority and His Kingdom supreme. But in the light ol Dr. Barrows' recent work in India, and his attitude there in respect to Christ, and especially in the light of this lecture, it is manifest that he is enthusiastically loyal to our one Lord and Master. With this issue of The Friend, the present Editor completes ten years of service. The Divine mercy is humbly and thankfully acknowled/ed. It is modestly hoped that the paper has been made in some degree to continue the good work it began to do in earlier days, in chronicling and supporting the work of Ethnic Religions not Valueless.

All the schools are taught in English, excepting a few classes in Chine.se. All children of suitable age are compelled to attend school. The great number of Portuguese children is to be remarked, also that of Part Hawaiians, a majority ol whose fathers are foreigners, married to native or Part-Hawaiian women. The entirely American character of the Hawaiian School system is illustiated by the excess of 236 American teachers, out of the total 482 of all nationalities. The text books used are American. The celebration at New York on April 27th, on the occasion of depositing the remains of General Grant in the great tomb in Riverside Park, seems to have been one well worthy of the honor due to the great warrior and patriot, the man of such grand simplicity, modesty and integrity. America is supremely ennobled by three such pure and illustrious names as those of Washington, Lincoln, and Grant, each of themdevoid of vanity, ostentation, or self seeking. �44 THE FRIEND Hawaiian Mission Children's Society necessarily fading with the lapse of time.

[June, 1897 The Japanese cruiser Naniwa arrived on the sth ult., in 15 days fiom Yokohama. She brought Councillor M. Akiyama, who is commissioned to investigate the cases of the immigrants sent back from here to Japan, and to ask from this Government such satisfaction as may seem to be dee. The entertainment given by the offiof Ihe Naiiiwa on the evening of 19th to some 250 visitors is thought to have surpassed any previous one on a warship in Honolulu in the elegance of its decorations. Our Japanese neighbors evidently mean their errand here to be understood as an amicable one. cets Banquet to Japanese Newspaper Men. Perhaps as notable a gathering as ever took place in Honolulu was the dinner given on the 15th ult. at the Hawaiian Hotel to the representatives of the Japanese Press by the newspaper men of Honolulu. Ten Japanese gentlemen were present, including Councillor Akiyama and four correspondents of Japanese Papers who accompanied him on the Xuniwa. There were also twelve English-speaking whites, one Portuguese, one Hawaiian and two Chinese, all connected with Honolulu papers of those nationalities, except one correspondent from San Francisco. The most cordial feeling prevailed. The only allusion to politics was the confidence expressed by Mr. Shiozawa of the Hawaii Shimpo, that "the recent little difficulty between Japan and Hawaii will be speedily settled." The Hawaiian Government, acting upon the advice of leading business men, has declined to renew to Col. Z. S. Spalding the now expired concession granted him, of the exclusive right to land a Cable from California at Honolulu. On May 24th, the 78th birthday of Cjueen Victoria a very large attendance at the reception of Her Majesty's Commissioner A. G. S. Hawes, indicated the general regard felt by all classes for England's venerable Sovereign. The Diamond Jubilee day will doubtless cal out a still larger celebration.

The town of Pomona has adopted a high liquor license ordinance, which is more practicable, if not so ideally good as absolute prohibition. Two liquor shops are allowed at license fees of $1000 and bonds of $5000. No seats, games, pictures or newspapers are allowed. Unobstructed view must be given from the street. Any wife, mother, daughter or sister may prohibit moneyneeded for her support to be taken by the saloon. Pomona will secure the actual execution of this ordinance only by vigilant activity. Probably the drinking population of Honolulu is too large for even that much of restriction upon appetite. Gie.it clamor is being made t.. Con by Claus Spreckels and Henry Oxnard thai the tree admission nt Hawaiian Sugar under the treaty ..I Reciprocity il detrimental u> the interests of Beet culture. This is purely fraudulent. Nothing can he more transparently cleat than the fact that no amount ol fiee sugar from Hawaii cat, possibly lower the price of protected bee' sugai in America, until the combined amount oi both sugars has grown 1., be in excess of the total consumption ol sugai in tinUnited States. There is in. possible answer to this statement. It must he n great many years before the production of beet Sugar approximates the total consumption of the country and so finds free Hawaiian an injurious competitor. The truth seems to be that it is really the wealthy Sugar Trust thai hates Hawaiian tree sugar, but dares not avow its hostility. So it puts forward Beet Sugar to fight against us under this false pretext. Certain facts now transpire which indicate that Liliuokalani and her Secretary Julius Palmer are really in the pay of this wealthy corporation. This fully accounts for the ex-queen's lavish expenditure in Washington totally beyond her private means. Our esteemed neighbor Judge Hart takes The Friend to task for characterizing the Powers of Europe as "cowardly" in their recent action in Crete, and non-action at Constantinople. We had thought of calling their conduct "brutal and barbarous," but deemed it more charitable to impute their disgrace ful behavior to timidity. There are times when mere prudence is whollyignoble. After six weeks suspension of work the Dredger is again cutting coral and discharging it inland day and night. The old cutters, worn out and broken on the hard stratum of coral below, have been replaced by new ones of wrought steel. It is hoped that thirty days of steady work will complete the job of deepening the new slip. Several acres of new land have been created on the old mud flat. Surf Riding at Waikiki. This exciting amusement has grown into such demand by visitors as well as residents, that a company of natives has been formed, called the Hui Pakaka Nalu (Wave Gliders), who are ready to take people out for the sport in native canoes at a dollar an hour. With a skilled native, there is no danger of upsetting as you shoot forward on the top front of a combing billow and race for the shore. In any case the kanaka would infallibly keep one from drowning. Dr. J. M. Whitney of Honolulu has been elected Vice-President of the Pacific Coast Dental Congress He has contributed to the public many articles of high scientific value, some especially relating to diseases shown in the teeth and jaws of ancient Hawaiian skulls. gress The fertile uplands of Kula on the Western front of H.ileakala on Maui, are reported to he neatly without dunk ing water, anil crops a total failure hum drought. Many Portuguese have been successfully farming Kula lands, raising corn, potatoes and other produce. Growth of Hilo Town. Abundant testimony comes from Hilo that the town is putting on great and rapid growth. Large numbers of cottages and many superior residences aie being planned and erected. The Streets are being widened and greatly improved. Lots are being laid oul in new tracts in many directions. Twenty white men with families are reported to have arrived within the past two months to engage in coffee culture. The new wharf is likelysoon to be built. Hilo is becoming a very live town, and unless many signs fail, is going to become much more lively. It has before it a great and active future, not merely financially, but from the healthy elements there, it seems safe to say, morally and spiritually. RECORD OF EVENTS. May Ist.

Sunday, May , Work in English. As Mr. Birnie well says, it is not denominationalism we want, but teligion-more worship, more instruction in the teachings of Jesus The Board stands ready to push this work in every needy center. The Palama Chapel, under the care of the Rev. Mr. Lewis, has the newest congregation. It is only a year old, md yet it has become a well established mission with its many departments of work, as the report inserted below will show. In such centers as Kailua and (Jlaa there ought very soon to be formed union congregations. Even were it desirable the community is not large enough for denominational organization, but there are many who would gladly get together for the sake of Bible study and fellowship in the truth. In the person of Jesus we can all unite. The little congregation at Wailuku, Maui, which is now being ministered to every other week by the much beloved pastor of the Paia Church, might be built up to greater strength by a resident minister. Wailuku is a center where a man ol missionary spirit might exert a wide influence. Not only are there whites to be found in the region, but there are also half whites and natives, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese, who speak English, all of whom would be greatly benefited by such pastoral care. We not long since called on a Chinese merchant who for twenty years had lived in Wailuku. He had become impressed by the truth of Christianity. At last a Christian, he grieved that the power of the life that is in Jesus had not come to him earlier. Miss Turner of the Chinese mission in Wailuku would welcome a minister to that field, and do much to help him. Rev. Mr. Kapu, pastor of the native church, would do all he could to aid the right man—and the aid of Mr. Kapu would count for much. Mr. Egami of the Japanese church would also be sure to do his part. The services in English could be arranged so as to accommodate the members of other congregations as well, and there gain the stimulus of large attendance. A minister of the right stamp at Wailuku could be very useful to the native pastors, in fact, he could do the work the Rev. Mr. Lydgate is doing on Kauai. One wishing to take up the native tongue and master it, could become the head of a ministerial training school for all the native pastors of the island. Periodic meetings could be established for them, such as Mr. Lydgate holds. The Foreign Church of Hilo, Hawaii, which is under the care of the Rev. Mr. Hill has completed its new and beautiful church structure. This widening of its capacity and influence just at this time, when things seem to feel the movement of a new and greater growth, is very There are nine English speaking congregations on the islands which are more or less associated with our work. Of these three are on Kauai, and two on each of the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii. Seven clergymen minister to these nine congregations; four have church organizations. They are a power for good that reaches to the remotest corners of the group. The Central Union Church of this city, which is under the able leadership of Rev. D. P. Birnie, is the main support of our work. From it come most of the men, money and influence for the conduct of our affairs. Indeed each church, each congregation, does its part through the personal exertions and gifts of individual members. With the increase of the English speaking population there will be a call tor an increase of these congregations. timely. 49 Palama Chapel Mission. Report of Rev. J. M. Lewis.

The Palama Chapel will have reached its first anniversary on the first of June. Ever since the opening of the chapel continuous work has been going on. The attempt to establish a mission in this district was at first looked upon as a doubtful experiment. Now however the experimental stage has been passed and the mission is a settled fact, well rooted in the lite of the community, and looked upon as a necessary part of th c higher life of the district. The chapel was built and dedicated previous to the organization of any meeting or gathering of any kind. As soon as it was ready for use a personal invitation was extended throughout the community by house to house visitation and in other ways. From the first it became evident that such a building was needed. Indications pointed to the fact that the effort put forth would not be in vain. The work has branched out along various lines, such as the Sunday school, prayer and preaching services, singing classes, boys clubs, monthly literary and musical entertainments and a kindergarten. A small library has been formed and reading matter provided. The chapel is in constant use through the week and on Sundays. The services have been well attended. The enrollment of scholars has increased from twelve to seventy five. Miss Pope, principal of the Kamehameha Girls' School has been our efficient superintendent. Our singing classes, under the enthusiastic leadership of Miss Clymer, also of Kamehameha, have been a great help to our work; so also have been the sewing classes and the boys club which are under the charge of a corps of faithful teachers. All these agencies at work in the mission have helped to awaken the interest of the community. It has been our aim from the start to make the chapel a social and intellectual as well as religious center, and in this way attract the people and create in them a hunger and thirst for righteousness, and ultimately bring them to a personal knowledge of Christ. We believe that this mission will have its influence in the formation of the character of the people. Through the direct efforts of this mission a primary school has been established in the district for young children of school age, who otherwise would have been running about the streets without educational privileges. Our work has been largely among the young people, and the indications are �50 THE FRIEND June,1897 Our Can White Laborers Perform the Work T.
