New Haven, Ct., February IS. —D. L Moody, the noted evangelist, address ed the students of Vale this morning and evening and several hundred of them also attended the monster meeting in the Hyperion theater, where 200H were turned away for want of room. In all the services, unprecedented interest was taken by the students. The optional meeting this evening, under Young Men's Christian association auspices, was so largely attended that the students not only crowded the big hall almost to suffocation, but filled the stairways as well, and at the close a delegation from each class requested Secretary Wright to ask Mr. Moody to rem in several days, or, if that is impossible, to return to Vale again in the near future. In an interview tonight, Mr. Moody expressed himself as follows with regard to Vale, apropos of the agitation now being waged against the university by a certain class of reformers "I have been pretty well acquainted with Vale for twenty years and I have never seen the university in as good condition, religiously, as now. My old est son graduated here and if my other son, who is now in the freshman class, gets as much good out of Vale as his brother did, I shall have reason to thank God through time and eternity. I can honestly say that I have never spent so good a day at Vale as today has been, and I never saw so earnest and inquiring a crowd of young men as that which at- : Divine Grace in Japan. of the Japanese Church in this city. He is now making a tour of Japan in Gospel 'I'emperance work under the auspices of the society of which Mr. Taro Ando, the first Japanese Consul General to these islands is now the president. In a recent number of a missionary periodical sent to us from Japan we find the following incident in connection with Mi. Miyama's work: C. M. H. "Miss Parish and Mr Miyama spent some time in Hakodate during October, and for a week Mr. Miyama worked with the pastor in these special services. His aid was of great value, adding much to the success of the efforts. One night especially, thtre was a wonderful out pouring of the Spiiit. The subject ap pointed for the evening was 'Prayer for families, and the duties of the Christian in the home.' Mr. Yamaka was to lead and Mr. Miyama make the address; but the leader found it difficult to get into the spirit of the meeting and did not conduct the services with his usual fervency. When at the close of the address Mr. Miyama invited the Christ tans to come forward to an altar service, the pastor, who was usually first, did not take his place at the altar, but in stead slipped out of the church, to Mr. Miyama's surprise. The reason for such behavior was that in the morning he had been impatient in the home, speaking sharply to his wife, and the thought of those words had put him out of harmony with the meeting. He felt that he must first obtain his wife's forgiveness before he could consistently lead others in a consecration service, and told his experience before joining the others in prayer. The Spirit used his statement to the blessing of all, every one was melted down, and tears and prayers were joined for the outpouring of grace on the homes and the dear ones in them who as yet knew not Christ." NUMISK.K 4 Student Volunteers at Cleveland. A live days convention was held a month ago at Cleveland of delegations from the various bodies of Student Volunteers in different seats of learning. Over JHOII attended. This is the third convention since theii organization in 1884. The objects of this organization are to create active interest in foreign missions among students; to enroll volunteers for that service: to help such prepare for the field; and to secure the active Co operation, both in prayer and gifts, of all students. A force of three local and live travelling secretaries is employed. Of the I (Mill institutes of higher learning 838 have been reached. There has been an entire enrollnu nt of about 1 OtXl members of whom over I Mill have gone to the field. The five days met ting at Cleveland weie of the deepest interest. They Were addressed by prominent missionaries from all pails of the world, as well as byleading Christian workers at home. The needs ol the vast depressed and unevan gelized races were thiillingly set forth, as weil as the immense progress of the work among them. Tile need ol intellectual and practical qualifications as well as of devoted consecration was urged. Much was done towards improved organization. Hiram Bingham, Jr., of Honolulu, from Vale College, was a deeply interested participant at Cleveland. Mr. Hiram Bingham, Jr., has accepted the charge of the l'alama Chapel Mission. He expects to graduate from Vale University in June, and after a short session in Moody's Summer School at Northfietd, to reach Honolulu August •2nd. He talks of two years service here. Mi. Uingham has received flattering offers to teach, but feels enthusiasm for Mission work. He hopes to become a missionary to China, after completing a Theological Course. Rev. S S. Palmer of Oakland, Cal., expressed great regret in declining the call of Central Union Church to be come its pastor. An earnest hope of the church meets a serious disappointment. has �THE FRIEND 26 REV. ALVIN OSTROM. IN MEMORIAM. Those who were privileged to know the late Rev. Alvin Ostium of Kohala realize that a most earnest and consecrated worker has passed away to his heavenly reward, one whose place will not easily be filled. His recent death has came as a great loss, not only to his immediate family, but to a wide circle made up of different nationalities, among whom he so faithfully labored to the last. As one who has enjoyed for years the privilege of being intimately associated with him in missionary work, and of witnessing his whole-souled consecration to the advancement of the Redeemer's cause, I feel it to be an honor to pay this slight tribute to his noble and earnest life. He was pre eminently a missionary of the Cross in the broadest and truest sense, one who felt in all his being, the command of the Great Cap tain to preach the Gospel to those of every nation. Marl) in life he left his native land to engage in missionary work in China; being connected with the work of the Dutch Reformed Church in Amoy. He there began his labors with enthusiasm and had already gained a working knowledge of the language, when a severe sunstroke caused him to cease all work and necessitated a return to the States. After a long period of illness he was enabled to resume ministerial work in the home land but was never again to return to China to resume active service there. In l.syo he enjoyed greatly returning for a brief visit to the scene of his early labors in Amoy. During the nearly ten years he has been the Pastor of the Foreign Church in Kohala, Hawaii, he has labored for all nationalities in that district. Most earnestly and faithfully has he ministered to the church and congregation of which he had the immediate charge. Those who were permitted to hear his hopeful and triumphant words in that last Sab bath morning's discourse, will not soon forget the fervor and unction with which he spoke. Before the setting of the sun, he was with the Saviour, whom he had served, without wavering, to the last. To the mission and church and educational work among the Hawaiians, Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese, he gave himself with untiring zeal, and his wise counsel and warm sympathy in all those departments of our island work, will be sorely missed. In all these efforts he was ably assisted by his noble and energetic wife, who found equal delight in ministering to the needs of all. Their home was ever opened to receive all who might come, with a generous and large hearted hospitality, which those who have experienced it will never forget.

"Soldier of Christ, well done, Praise be thy new employ; And, while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Saviour's joy." F. W. D. as Mr. Oslrom had preached in the morning from the text, "But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." At 4 p. m. of that Sunday, February 27th, he was seized with acute pains in the legion of the heart, and almost immediately passed away. Rev. S. M. Dodge conducted the funeral services. Mr. Ostrom had been pastor of the Foreign Church at Kohala for nearly twelve years. He was about 69 years of age. Mr. and Mrs. Ostrom have rendered tireless and most precious service not only in their own church, but to the churches and Christian workers around them. Death of Miss Prances E. Willard. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Honolulu on March 15th held a Memorial Service in view of the recent death of the eminent Piesident of the organization throughout the world. Mrs. P. C. Jones, Mrs. R.J. Greene, and Miss Mary K. Green testified to the impres sions produced by their intercourse with Miss Willard. An appropriate testimonial was adopted, presented by Mrs. Mary S. Whitney, the President of the local branch. Libraries for the Common Schools. We desire to add impulse to the new movement to supply small libraries of suitable books fcr the pupils of the common schools in these islands. Our issue for January contained an important paper on this subject by Rev. 0. P. Emerson. A teacher has written about it to Senator McCandless. A very large number of the native, Chinese and Portuguese children are now so far advanced in the use of English as to read with pleasure simple English literature. There is a copious production of such books in England and the United States. What is wanted is to have, say 300 of such small books for children carefully selected, and made up into sets of thirty to each school. Twelve copies of each book would be needed so as to make 120 libraries, comprising ten different sets. After each school had read up its set, say in three months, it should exchange with larger books would be useful. The greatest care should be used in selecting the books so as to combine entertainment with sound and whole some mor.il tone. A large proportion of the books in our Sunday School libraries should be judiciously weeded out. Now is an opportunity for most helpful enlightenment of the rising generation in Hawaii. The Alleged McGiffert Heresy. The New York Presbytery has received more than i 00 letters from Presbyterians all over the country, protesting against statements in Professor AicGiffert's new book, The History of Christianity in the Apostolic Age, and urging that the presbytery take action in the matter. The point against which the majority of protests are aimed is concerning the Lord's Supper, which Professor McUiffert considers as an unpremeditated act, not instituted by Christ as a perpetual memorial. This contradicts the statement of the Westminster Catechism. It is possible that another heresy trial is in store for the Presbyterian Church.— The Cong) igationalist. It seems pj bable that Professor MeGiffeit of Union Seminary will find it expedient to withdraw from the Pies byterian Church. It appears that he discredits the testimony of Luke 22:111, "This do in remembrance of me ;" also of Paul, I Cor. 11:24, 26, to the same effect. At the same time he emphasizes the absence of the above quoted clause in the account of the Last Supper, as given by Matthew and Mark. He also discredits the universal attestation of the early Apostolic Church to the institution of the Supper as a permanent commemorative ordinance. Dr. McGiffert seems to overlook the obviously commemorative character of the Supper, as implied, though not directly expressed by Matthew and Mark. It may be said that this loose and conjectural way of dealing with evidence is characteristic of all the work of the leading "Higher Clitics." McGiffert is only following the foolish methods of his teachers, proving his own incompetency to write History. Mr. Theo. H. Davies on the night of the sth entertained at dinner 225 employees of the Honolulu Iran Works, of which he is the president. A considerable number of the workers were native Hawaiians. The place of the entertainment was Independence Hall. Addresses were made by Mr. Davies and Mr. Young, the former superintendent, both of whom are to be congratulated upon the success and development of the great establishment. �Vol. 56, No. 4.] Varied Work of Board of Health.

Mrs. Fanny Andrews Shepard Appeals for Help. Mrs. Shepard of Aintab has written in behalf ol the children orphaned by the massacres of Armenians, to Mrs. A. F. J mid. Portions of the letter have been published in the P. C. Advertiser. Lacking space for much ol it, we select some points stattd as follows: Armenia was laid waste two years ago. hT>,OOO perished, mostly men, and nearly all the property of the Armenians was destroyed. 50,000 children were orphaned. Of the most promising, 2000 have been gathered into Orphan homes by the missionaries. Twenty five dollars a year is needed for the support of each child. Dr. Shepard remains at bis post, doing the work of three men. His surgical and clinic work is immense, much of it growing out ol the massacres. lit is also President ol the College, and 'Treasurer of the various Relief Funds. A great Industrial woik has been prosperously carried on for tiie help of the destitute Armenians, Mrs. Shepard will soon return to Aintab. She leaves hci two daughters in school at Obcrlin. The Woman's Board have taken up the subject of contributing farther aid to the above cause. at length Our whole community unite in lament ing the unexpected removal by death of Mrs. Mary Schmidt, the beloved wife of Senator 11. W Schmidt, whose seven children are bereaved of a mother of rare txcellence. 'The two elder children last month united with the Central Union Church, greatly to the satisfaction of the now departed mother, who had led them in the Heavenly way. Bishop Willis is credibly reported as speaking of the sad social and religious conditions in Great Britain at the time the S. P. C. K. was formed. "In the previous century the monasteries had been destroyed. There was no religion and morality was sadly lacking. There had been practically a relapse into infi delity. The poor lived in ignorance and brutality." Being familiar with the medieval leanings of the excellent Bishop, we feel justified in understanding him to at tribute the alleged decline ol religion in the 17th century to the abolition of the monasteries in the Kith! We "NonConformists" read English Church History very differently. A new pipe organ was inaugurated on the evening of the sth, in the Bishop Memorial Chapel on the Kamehameh School groends. Many Organ recitals were given by Wiay Taylor, togethei with a variety of musical exercises byothers. The Japanese Want Saki. A petition appears in the Senate in behalf of the Japanese in Hawaii, to whom it is a grievance that the duty upon their favorite rice wine or Saki w.is increased from 15 cents to one dollar a gall >n. Now they cannot afford to buyit. Intelligent investigation leaves no doubt that these laborers will do more work without alcoholic stimulus, be happier, healthier, more vigorous, and in better temper. For them to buy Saki is a waste of their small earnings, with injury to health. It may not be wise to prohibit them altogether from gratifying a perverted appetite. But it is kindness to them to make indulgence more difficult. Saki is a poisonous liquor, heavilycharged with methy lie alcohol. If made cheap, natives also will buy it, to their great injury in h. alth and pocket. Execution of Japanese Murderers. On Friday, March 25th, the two Japanese woman-slayers, Yoshida and Sagata, suffered the extreme penalty of the law at the Oahu Prison. Their photographs indicate extremely degraded characters. One killed another man's wife, for refusing his advances. 'The other sold his wife, and then slew her and her child for her refusal to submit. By the devoted labors of Pastor Tahira of the Japanese Methodist Church, these two wretched men were brought to repentance, and were baptized into Christ January 2nd. They appeared truly humbled and penitent, and died with prayers upon their lips Divine mercy and human justice have alike been magnified in their deaths. [April, 1898 Rainfall and Flood. During the middle of the day on the 21th, from two to three inches of rain fell in the different sections of Honolulu in about three hours. In Nuuanu Valley, about six inches fell in the same time. Heavy floods ensued from both Nuuanu and Panoa Valleys, the streams uniting about 200 yards north of Kaumakapili Church, with the result of flooding the depressed sections in that vicinity as well as near the Chinese theaters. Some fifty dwellings occupied by Ilaw.iiians and Asiatics were filled to a depth of several feet in a few minutes, and most of the clothing and furniture wet. A large number of boats were carted up from the wharves and used to rescue some hundreds of people from their distressing situation. Several hundred dollars were subscribed for the relief of the sufferers. A Japanese house painter, active in helping others, was carried away by the stream and drowned in going under a bridge. A brave sailor named Wm. Wells who had plunged in to save him was carried under with him, and barely escaped the same fate. The water was nearly over the floor of the bridge. 'The new bridges were in much danger of giving way. The Editor can personally testify thai Pauoa stream has reached no such height before during his past twenty years residence on its bank. Nuuanu stream poured a torrent from the upper bridge down the street for a quarter of a mile. From 'Thomas Square eastward, King Street became a deep canal. The Waikiki rice fields became a lake from the Manoa and Palolo floods. Later reports shows that 301 persons were driven from their homes by the flood near Beretania Street. Terrible floods are reported as occuring on the 27th, at Waialua and Koolau. were carried away in those bridges All districts, involving a loss of over $ (O.OOil to the Government.

It had for sometime been apparent that the requisite two thirds of the Senate could not be secured to pass the Treaty for annexing Hawaii. On March 16, Chairman Davis of the Committee on Foreign Relations introduced into the Senate a Joint Resolution for the Senate and House of the same purport as the Treaty. It is expected that this measure will pass both Houses, it is hoped, with out much delay. 'This step is regarded as showing encouraging progress towards the desired result. Possible War with Spain. The dark shadow of not improbable war with Spain was, at last advices, looming somewhat heavily on the horizon of the United States. There is still much reason to hope that Spam may prove yielding to such demands as the United States may be compelled to make The financial pressure upon Spain is extremely heavy. In case of war, Spain will certainly lose the Philip pines, as well as Cuba. 'These consi derations may force her to yield. The strongest pressure for action by the United States appears to be, less from the Maine affair, than from the urgent need of relief to the 300,000 survivors semaining from the (1(10,000 Cubans whom Spanish brutality had gathered into the towns to starve. Such horrors at their doors cannot much longer be endured by the United States. No Change in the Oath. A bill presented in the House to the Constitution by omitting from the oath required of all voters the promise not to encourage or assist in the restoration ol establishment ola nionar chial form of government. The reason uiged for the change was in order to conciliate the natives, and induce them to participate in legislation. 'The proposition was rejected by a vote of 10 to 5. Of the five, it was understood that two did not favor the change m the oath, but wanted more discussion. was change Native Jealousy of the Whites. 'This feeling seems to be correctlyanalyzed in the following paragraph of editorial. "Butjbehind that is the racial feeling of The great suspicion of the white. majority of natives, unfortunately thriftless in their ways, attribute their lack of prosperity to the grasping and selfish conduct of the whites, including Mr. Davies. Nothing pleases a thriftless person, all over the world, so much as to be told that his misfortune is not due to his own failures, but to the injustice of others. 'The wicked white man has THE ERIEND 29 told the natives for many yeats that the and that Mi. Davies, who is a prosperous man, has robbed him. Any assertion to the COM trary, he does not believe. This is a solid political fact. 'The men who will "play" the native for his vote, will al ways put this fact before him, and then promise "to see justice done to him." And the native will be "played,'' and then be left out in the cold. /'. ('.

Smith this the result of an school lost one of its founders and main supporters. This, among other causes, make's necessary some new provision for the continuance of the school. It would seem that an institution of such importance should be associated with some permanent organization; and the ques tion now arises whether it would not be well for the Hawaiian Board to take it in charge, as was finally done in the case of the Kohala Girls School. Steps are now being taken to bring this about. The 'Trustees of the school have asked the Hawaiian Board to take it and its appurtenances in fee, and the Board has given its qualified acceptance. 'The matter now up is to find a Board of Managers that will act foi the Hawaiian Board in the conduct and care of the It is probable that the old school. Board of Trustees will be asked, ami it is thought that they will accept. In taking this school the Hawaiian Board would be following out, in a very piacti cal manner, its mission as a conservator of every good influence. If the Hawaiian Board assumes the care of the school it should receive the generous support of all, especially of those who dwell on the Garden Island. In proportion to its size and population, Kauai is the richest island on the group, and there should be no difficulty in securing ample support for this, its only school for manual training. Six weeks ago $10,000 were asked for the Board to clear the obligations of the fiscal year closing May 16th. $3,000 of this sum have come in and $7,000 are wanted to make the treasurer cease wincing when asked to pay out salaries that are due. .

The white pay a total taxation of $408,762.61, which is in the neighborhood of $10,000 greater than the taxes paid by all other nationalities. The bulk of these taxes are levied As indicating their upon property. prosperity, it is gratifying to see that the pure and part-Haw,mans, numbering over one third of the population, are paying over one sixth of the taxes, and one-third as much as the whites. It is evident that the natives are very largely sharing in the immense prosperity of their white neighbors, s , the Manager of the great Ewa Sugar Plantation, contributes the following facts through the P. C. Advertiser, 'The standing rate of pay for adult Portuguese laborers is SIM a month, with house, fuel, and medical attendance free. It ranges from this to Sod a month according to capacity ami nature of services. 'The last lot of Portuguese imported were shipped at SUi per month, including above named privileges. It cost the planters $300 each to bring them here. Two-thirds of them are now receiving per month. from JUS to We believe that a majority of the laborers at Kwa are Japanese at Sl a month, including above privileges. On each of these the planter has paid about $ft<) each, as cost of importing. They are far inferior to Portuguese. The foregoing figures fail to show that Hawaiian planters enjoy any special advantage of "cheap labor,' as alleged by our Sugar Trust enemies. Their chief advantage is in superior machinery and in skill in cultivation and manufacture. We have good sod, and fertilize it well. Mr. W. J.
