AT LAST.
The joyous manifestations that
pervaded Honolulu upon the arrival
of the ('optic with the news of the
final passage, in the Senate, of the
Newland's resolution for the annex*
ation of Hawaii was but the natural
outburst of relief from the long
anxious strain that had been upon
the community for years past, but
more particularly since the overtures
of the Provisional Government by
its special Commissioners, in 1893,
for this •"closer bond." Ami this
same jubilant feeling has shown
itself in various parts of the other
islands by flagraising festivities, etc.
in advance of the formal act at the
metropolis, which yet awaits the
arrival of Admiral Miller with official
dispatches, by the Philadelphia, due
now in a tew days.
That a grand celebration is in store
for the eventful day goes without
saying, but of its details, much depends upon what plans the Admiral
may have in connection with the act
of transfer and taking possession on
behalf of the United States.
In this connection it is pleasing to
learn of the many congratulatory
letters that have been received from
across thesea. private and otherwise,
at the successful ending of the long
struggle, and the cordial welcome
with which Hawaii is greeted as she
comes into Columbia's fold, and
under shelter of the Star Spangled
Banner.
This War a Needed Preparation.
The signs of the times very strongly point to an approaching period of
conflict, when the (Treat Powers ol
Europe are likely to become interlocked in desperate strife. It is very
improbable that the United States
will be able to avoid participation in
such a war, as they have done in
the past. 'I'he reason is this: The
chief existing causes of disagreement be in the relations of those
Powers to China, and their commerce with that country. In this
subject America also is very deeply
interested. She is in fact in closer
propinquity to China than any European Power, except Russia, and is
likely soon to have a larger commerce with China than any other
Power except England. From the
coming struggle over China it would
therefore seem impossible for America to hold aloof.
But lor this comparatively small
Spanish War. that great approaching crisis would have found America totally unprepared. Divine Providence seems in kindness to have
led the nation into a preparatory
experience in a war with a weak
Power, by means ot which considerable ill inies ot young and able men
are receiving an effective military
education in active Campaigning.
These large bodies ol young veterans will thus be qualified to train
and lead a million more of their
country men to die coming wars without delay.
At the same time an immense impetus has been given to the previously neglected wink ot arming the
nation. An abundant provision will
now he made of the most modem
rifles and ammunition; also of rapid
tiie and machine guns lor the Artillery. The navy also will he greatly
increased, and its efficiency still
more perfected. The CoasTTrrrrcnses will he made complete.
Great
plants will be created for the building of armored ships, and the manufacture of heavy guns; Hereafter,
in consequence of the present war,
the prospect is becoming assured
that the United States cannot he

crisis. They will be splendidly
ready with great armies fully equipped, as well as mighty fleets at sea.
War is a fearful evil, and to be
avoided as long as consistent with
duty and honor. The best way to
avoid it is to be wellarmed and prepared lor it. The United States so
prepared, may not improbably hecome the means of preventing the
dreaded war. or at least ot making
it short and decisive on the right
side. The war-cloud hangs dark
and sulphurous over the opening
twentieth century. God seems to
be guiding our American Nation
towards a heroic participation in the
struggle.

building has been moved farther
from the street, and raised higher
from the ground. The sight is cheerful, shady, and breezy, if perhaps
not as high as desirable. It is, however, a temporary arrangement.
This urgent necessitj for a Hospital on the line of communication
is only another of the many illustrations how absolutely needful these
Islands are lo the United States.

Hawaii's Share in the Commission.
The people of these island* have evidence of President McKinlej I aim and
desire (or the welfare of Hawaii in the
selection of two luch local nun as
President Dole and Judge blear to serve
on the Commission to formulate the
government of the island territory, with
Senators Cullum and Morgan, and Kep

In the questions thai will ansc lor

well balanced experienced mmds have
been assigned to the work. The visiting
Commissioners each possess an intiniatr
knowledge of Hawaiian affairs that will
greatly facilitate then deliberations), probably as much lo .is any til i ol Ailleii
can statesmen that could be selected.
Promise of Valuable Hawaiian Books.
The trustees of tlu Bishop Museum
accept Dr. N, H. Emerson's ti mslation
of David Main's "Hawaiian Antiquities"
that has engaged his close attention for
several years past, and to which copious
notes have been added by the translatot
that will greatly enhance the value ol
the work, not only to students and
others interested in the subject, but the
general reader as well.
This long lost contribution t» Hawaii
an literature will shortly be published by
the trustees, as also Prof. Brighain's
monograph on the "Feathei Work of
Early Hawaiians,'' with copious illus
trations from photographs of choicest
specimens in various parts of the world,
including one from Cjueen Victoria's
collection, specially for this work.
It is also learned that Dr. Emerson
contemplates the elaboration ol his
valuable Historical Society paper on the
"Ancient Canoe Voyages ol the Pacific, '
the result of Ins further researches in
this interesting stud)-.
The Summer School for Teachers.
Mr. Townsend and the Board of lulucation are to be congratulated on the
outcome of this Summer's School for
teachers.
The contact for three weeks with such
educators as Col. and Mis. Parker, and
Miss Allen, must have a quickening,
refreshing, and strengthening effect upon
the teacher, who alone, often wear)
and discouraged, has for long months
been earnestly, and with perhaps but
little conscious sympathy, seeking to
arouse some dormant soul, to awaken
some sleeping intellect.

Said
Among the Hawaiians
r8t)8.
I have been asked to talk to yon
about the religious condition of the
Hawaiians, or rather about the religious
life of the Hawaiians. The Hawaiians
and Hawaii nei have been so much
talked about for the last five or six
years that I fear that I shall not say any
thing new or interesting. The Hawaiians seem to be under a cloutl just at the
present time. If the cloud should prove
to be like that pillar of cloud which led
the Hebrew children, if God's light
should strike upon it, the Hawaiians
may .yet discern in it the signs of
promise.
There are those who feel that the best
thing to do with the native Hawaiian is
to let him alone. They say he has had
his day and opportunity; that he has had
his full share of attention; that all has
been done for him that it is possible to
do for any people, and henceforth he
must work out his own problems.
And there are others, I am sorry to
say it, who claim that the Hawaiian is
not worth saving. They say the whole
body is corrupt; there is no religion in
the church and no moral life in the
heart. Those of us who have labored
with them and lived with them will take
emphatic exceptions to these statements.
There is a great deal of natural religious
feeling in the people. They are natur
ally religious if not reverent.
The ancient and ihe modern Hawaiian,
both from a religious and social point of
view, appear like very different characters. The lapse of only two score years
has wrought great changes in the reli
gious life of this people. Vice, it is true,
is more prevalent now than forty years
ago, and of course makes its impression
on the religious conditions of the present
time; but vice is by nomeans confined to
the Hawaiians, and its more hideous
forms are not to be found among the
natives. Much of the vice that prevails
in the community may be laid at the
door of the public sentiment of the community. Public opinion is a tremendous
power, and when it says of any evil
thing, "let it alone" the public lets it
alone. And all that vice asks is to be
left to itself to grow and spread on its
own corruption.
The faith of those early christians who
witnessed the great religious revolution
that so quickly followed the introduction
of civilization to these Islands was simple
as a little child's love; it was a quiet but
living spiritual fervor, and firm as the
rock. And that type of christian faith
[August, 1898.
not
�Vol. 56, No. B.]
is by association in religious work. A
common interest begets unity of action
and unity gives strength. The Hawaiian
should not be isolated in religious work.
He should have the sympathy and love
and tender consideration of the Anglo
of his Anglo Saxon
Saxon,
christian brother. I submit that there
is no power in jeweled crown or scepter
(ike that in the simple quality of mercy
between man and man.
One of the sweetest words in our
language is home. It designates the
place where childhood's happy days are
spent; where influences are started and
affections cemented that nut-last earth's
fleeting day and yield their best fruits on
the other side of life
"Be it ever so humble,
There's no place like home."
That vital breath that comes from the
sweet, clean home-life ; that "pono"
which is something more than four
letters; that thing which the Pilgrim
Fathers sought when they "moored
their bark on the wild New England
shore" is the thing we need.
"They sought a father's pure shrine,
And they have lift unstained
What there they found."
That "father's pure shrine" in the
Hawaiian homes is the thing we need
to save us from the perils that are impending and to give character and
strength to our religious life in these
islands. Virtue in the home is worth
more than all the plantations on all the
islands. That community is not far
from social destruction which shuts its
eyes to the moral conditions that surround the homes of its youth, and cries
peace, peace, when there is no peace.
There ts another factor that bears on the
Hawaiian social or religious life, and it
is one that has had its due weight in the
make up of his present condition. With
out doubt it will have an important part
in determining what his future is to be.
Behind every human force, for good or
tor evil, there is the life uf woman. Behind Isaac was Rebecca; behind Ahab
and his evil reign was Jezebel, the Cath
erine dc Medicis of the .icbrew nation.
Behind Herod's blood-stained hand
was Herodias, and back of Pontius Pilate
was Claudia; and if Claudia had prevail
ed in her plea with Pilate, she might
have saved him Irwin ihc infamy that
covers his name. To come down to our
own time, and to the history of these
little Islands which we love. Behind
the simple faith of the primitive native
church were the examples of Kaahumanu and Kapiolani and their associates.
Back of the Oahu dllege was the
thought of the mothers of the early civi
lization of these Islands; and behind
yonder hospital is the name of CJueen
Emma. Behind the Lunalilo Home is
Kekauluohi, the mother of Lunalilo, and
back of those splendid equipments for
education out there at Kalihi is the name
of Bernice Pauahi Bishop.
Every woman however humble or
exalted her walk in life has her influence
and performs her part, whether conscious of it or not, in the making of
character. Back of the Hawaiians as we
find them today is the Hawaiian
woman I don't mean the individual
personalities we meet, but the average
woman that represents the womanhood
of the race. We conclude then that the
Hawaiiins future social condition and
religious life, in all likelihood, will be
what the woman of the present time
make it.
%
May God bless the native church in
these Islands and send her help; for
when she fails to fulfil her mission and
ceases to be fruitful, (which heaven for
bid) her candle will go out, and when
the light of religion passes away from a
people what shall the end be ?
We are living in a day full of signs.
We walk in a way beset with difficulties,
and know not at times whither we should
turn, or in what direction we should go
to find prosperity. Let me say steer
straight for the Light of the World
which is the heart of Jesus Christ.

Dr. Lyman Abbott has recently published some expressions respecting the
Divine Immanence in all things, which
have led to an alarm being sounded that
he has come out as a Pantheist. While
it may possibly be true that Pantheism
would be a logical deduction from Dr.
Abbott's expressions, yet he is no pantheist, but a most devout and prayerful
believer in the Personal God,
Our own opinions are much opposed
to some of Dr. Abbott's theological views;
but we rejoice to own him as faithful to
the essentials of Christianity.
