In view of the apparent certainty that the United States will assume the government of at least a part of the Philippines, it would seem that every reflecting Christian citizen of Hawaii must feel an added responsibility by reason of our comparative propinquity to that group, and the mutual influence hereafter to be exerted between Manila and Honolulu. The two cities will be the two central points of interest to the United States in this great western ocean of which America now sits as mistress. Hawaii's strategic relations will necessarily become more intimate than with any other port in the farther Pacific, because Manila will be in some measure an American port. So much is clear —that we are to be placed in relations of peculiar intimacy with one of the great seaports of the world hitherto closed to any relations with us. Manila is shortly to look to Honolulu as the nearest point at which she is to find contact with American civilization—American social conditions. These steamship lines, the busy shuttles of commerce plying back and forth across the Pacific, will carry to Manila the atmosphere, the savor of Honolulu society. The cable wire flashing hourly messages will constantly report Honolulu as the last important point of connection. It will then be of no small import to the moral and spiritual conditions of Manila how those conditions shall he found to exist in Honolulu. If our piety here is of the kind that is vital, and heaven soaring, if our Christian love is sweet and generous, if our social life is noble, upright, and beneficent, anil pure. if our business integrity is above reproach, Manila will be. keenly sensible of those facts, and will be moved upon by them towards her oTvn redemption. But if Hawaii grows debased, lewd, debauched, absorbed in greed and lucre, given to coarse and godless pleasureseeking, tolerant of vice, and disdainful of godliness —then American influence for good on Manila will be deeply impaired, because this American Lighthouse of Christianity in the Pacific has grown dim. Our brothers who go to the Philippines to assist in administering public affairs will be plunged at once into a fetid mire of social debasement. They will need to be invigorated by social influences high and pure from this nearest American point, else they will return this way with defiled characters, in their turn to debase us. Unless our Christian social purity is so maintained and elevated as to help Manila upwards, Manila will drag Honolulu down. We are now entering upon a period of new conditions and new influences. It behoves every Christian here to be a true soldier, and drill for the highest discipline, faithful in all things. How Hawaii shall hereafter be called upon to aid directly in evangelizing this new American dependency, will appear as Providence opens the future. to Manila, HOW TO INVEST OUR MONEY. It is announced that on the last day of September nearly £500,000 would be paid out in Honolulu as dividends to stockholders in various sugar and other corporations. It may reasonably be conjectured that such dividends during the past year have amounted to as much as four NUMBKK 10 millions of dollars. Probably twothirds of this has been surplus income to the recipients, which they reinvest. There are now several very promising new plantations being started, and other enterprises, inviting investments. Some ol these will probably turn out well. Others Every prudent person may not. will (five careful thought before putting his money into any of these undertakings/ We feel moved to call attention to a class of investments which moneyed people are too apt to overlook. We mean the placing of money where it will bring forth great profit in forwarding the Kingdom of Christ. As a living Christian, you, my Wealthy brother. Or sister, with twenty or a hundred thousand dol lars to place out, must feel that it is a glorious and blessed thing to help our beloved Lord and Captain in gaining fresh victories over the powers of evil and darkness. Many of you in Hawaii have already experienced the joy of giving somewhat freely of your substance. Is not the Lord now calling on you for more abundant help? These are great days, and critical days. Our Gospel and missionary work should be fortified and enlarged without stint. I low Congress last Spring lavished hundreds of millions for army and navy. And how grand the results. This year you have such abundant dividends as you never had before. Is it not in order that you may come forward joyfully and liberally supply the needs of the Redeemer's Kingdom on the Pacific, at this critical time? Let one very large and pressing need be named. You have probablyheard and understood that we have come to the point where we must have a large and liberal provision made for the education of preachers, pastors, and missionaries lor our various native and foreign populations. The call for educated workers among Hawaiians. Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese has entirely outgrown the small capacity ot our North Pacific Missionary Institute. The young men can be found, but there are no means for educating them. That Institution needs immediate enlargement. There should be at once two or three new and able instructors employed.

After a sojourn on Hawaiian shores the three Congressional members of the Commission for adjusting the relations of Hawaii to the General Government, Senators Cullom and Morgan and Representative Hitt, took their departure for home on Sept. 23 per S. S. Gaelic. During their stay, they had, as already reported, visited the islands of Maui and Hawaii. Later they also visited the Leper settlement on Molokai. Their remaining time was actively engaged in conference with their associates, Messrs. Dole and Frear, upon their appointed work. The results of their labors are expected to remain secret until reported to the President of the United States, and by him to Congress fcr their final action. It is understood however that they accomplished th« drafting of a full scheme for the government of these islands, and for the laws thereof. It is believed that as few changes in the present system and laws were adopted as were necessary to be consistent with the Republican system of the United States. Much anxiety of course is felt by all parties to what they have decided to recommend. Devoutly believing and praying men feci assured that all our destinies are in the hands of God, and will trustingly beseech the Lord to guide and direct the counsels of those who are to shape our future government, so that Hawaii may be enabled to go forward in a noble Christian and civilized progress. We must be deeply thankful that a good man in the Presidency has set over this work such an excellent group of men of wise and disinterested characters. May the outcome be toe best possible provision for Hawaii's future; and may the people of Hawaii make the best use thereof ! of thirty seven days, Admiral Miller sailed for home on the the L. S.

It is evident that there is much neglect on the part of some persons in not making the Government rations do better work in both quality and quantity. For instance, it ought not to be impossible for oui soldiers to obtain sugar or syrup to eat on their bread and rice. It is not only inhumanity but bad economy to feed soldiers on such unpalatable rations that their health suffers. THE FRIEND. By special orders from the U. S. State Department, S. B. Dole continues to act as President of the Republic of Hawaii, and all court proceedings continue in the name of the Republic of Hawaii. Vacancies in appointive offices are filled as before, and all government affairs continue unchanged until Congress shall have arranged a permanent form of government for the islands. U. S. Camps at Honolulu. A Military Order was published on Sept. 6, consolidating the troops present in the Military District of Hawaii into two camps, one to be called Camp McKinley consisting of the First New York Volunteers and Battalion of U. S. Volunteer Engineers as now, under command of Col. T. H. Barber, Ist N. Y. Volun teers; and another to be called Camp Otis comprising all expeditionary troops temporarily in theDistrict and command ed by the senior officer of those forces present. Camp McKinley is near Diamond Head. Camp Otis is within the race track at Kapiolani Park. The present locations are to be occupied only until some permanent site has been fixed upon.

In the Providence of God, and in the natural expansion of Empire, it seems to he made the duty of Englishmen of both nations to grapple bravely with their new problems, to plant order and justice where cruelly has reigned, and to kindle Gospel light where darkness has brooded. A Narrow Escape from Death. The publisher of The Friend, and Mis. Thrum, feel profound gratitude for the safety of theii eldest son, Mr. Ernest G. Thrum. The ship Reiiil.eorth on which he had taken passage around Cape Horn, on account of health, became on fire July 7th. The fire seeming in the evening to be extinguished, the captain, mate, and a boy, with Mr. Thrum went to sleep in the cabin, where all four became suffocated by vapoi. Of the four, Mr Thrum alone was resuscitated after two hours labor. At a funeral next day, Mr. Thrum offered prayer for the absent relatives. On the 21th, the ship entered the harbor of Valparaiso, after 2,fh>o miles sailing by dead reckoning, all hands on short allowance, the interior ol the ship being inaccessible. A hole was burned in the sugar amidships from top to bottom of the ship. Six weeks having been spent in remedying the injuries to ship and cargo; and securing a new captain, the Reuilwarth was to have proceeded on her voyage on September 10th, Mr. Thrum going on in her. We believe that Commissary officers exercise considerable discretion in ex changing the regular Governmentrations for local supplies which are desirable. Flour, for example is exchanged with bakers for fresh bread. Baking powder and other items are available in like manner. We venture to suggest that the Commissariat contract with Ewa or Waianae Plantation for an occasional car load of sugar cane, to be issued, a stick apiece to the men.

TheHawaiianAssociation. I'ht' fall meeting of the Hawaii Association was held September 16th and 16th, at La upahoe hie, .ill hut two of the pastors ot ihe island being present; hesides the three visiting clergymen, Messrs. (iulick, I.eadinghani and Kmerson, there wen: als,i six lay delegates and one ex-pastor in attendance. It is man) yens since the meeting was last held at this place. The parish, and pastor 100, have not been regarded as strong enough to meet the needs of entertainment for so many. Ihe adverse reprot brought from Laupahoehoe to the Spring meeting held at Kekaha, Kona. led the members of the Association to consider the advisability of holding the fall session in this neglected parish. It was with misgiving that we went there; and indeed, the hospitality ot the place was put to the test: but through the exertions of the people, the aid of a neighboring pastor, and the generous hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. 11. Kickard, our host, we fared well. Hut it was a pitiful Sight to si c how, through the inefficiency of s pastor who had failed to stir Up his people, a fairly oood church-building had been left, as it were to the mercy of the elements. As our host said, it those responsible for the care of the church had only exerted themselves a little betimes, to put a nail into a clapboard here, and a pane of glass into a window there, and so kept the weather out, the building would no! have come to such decay. The pastor's neglect to do this, has suggested to Mi. Leadingham the need of giving his Students of the theological school, a course ot lectures on the care of church property: indeed such was found to be the inefficiency of the Laupahoehoe pastor, and such his inability to win the respect and confidence of the people, that, by the vote of the association, he was dismissed from his charge. It was a different course that led the Association, through its committee, to dismiss the Rev X. M. Naahumakua from his pastorate over the united churches of Kalapana and Opihikao. This good man accepted a call to the pastorate of a place where he had lived forty years, and been for twenty-five years of that time the school teacher. Familiarity in the minds of the evilly disposed bred, not perhaps contempt, but a certain jealousy and disrespect. Through the agency of a presuming and had minded kahuna woman, a wicked rumor got abroad, and the good man's hold of his people was weakened. He had the discernment to see this, and himselfasked the association to act as it did. We think it might be well for the native pastors, and perhaps for the people in general, if 8 lew such cases ol libel as the above, were tried in the courts. The influence of the kahuna is at the bottom of a great deal of the trouble that arises in thepaiishes. Kven the minds of the well disposed, sometimes get poisoned by the designing and irresponsible aspirants for power, how ever it may come. The case of Key. M. C, Kealoha, pastor at Waipio, is dismissed, and is no longer in the hands of a committee. This action was taken in view ot his purpose, explicitly declared to the committee, not lo mix himsell up with kahunaisni, but to oppose it in everything, and to hold himself in the future subject to the actions of the Association. Kealoha lepoits that the meeting house at Kukuihaele has been repaired, and that meetings are again held in it. A favorable report also comes trom Kau; pastor Kauhane is much encouraged by the return of some ol his disaffected members. Key. Ahi Lazaro, pastoi of the church at Kekaha, Kona, has been granted a leave of absence. 11l health makes it necessary for him to retire tor a season trom the work. It is feared that he may It have to leave the work entirely. would seem that at last the united churches of Kaohe and Milolii are to have an accredited pastor in the person of Rev. Louis M. Mitchell, who, not long since, moved his household to the district and occupied the family estate located there. Mr. Mitchell has built him a house out of native lumber, flooring and all being made of it. The lumber was hewn by his own hand. There is thus opened to the enterprising man the prospect, not only ola useful pastorate, but also tin proprietorship ola valuable coffee estate. At last, after long waiting, the Key. J. S.

In Puna. Upper Puna is now accessible as far as opposite Kamaili, the residence of Judge Kamau. Seven miles from the terminus of this upper road, there is a bianch road that runs down to the shore at Kapohoiki, the residence of Mr. Rycroft. From Kapohoiki the new road turns back and runs along the shore to Kapoho, the residence of Mr. R. A. Lyman. Carriages now go all this distance. Sofai, the donkey track is a thing of the past. It is said that the road through upper Puna is to he extended about eight miles to Kalapana. Should this be done, all of upper (or middle) Puna would be traversed and the main settlements on ihe shore would be reached. The lands along this middle Puna road lit with a slope toward the shore.

They are covered with a luxuriant growth of vegetation, and are mostly heavily wooded, and are seemingly on the edge of the heavy rain belt This middle Puna region offers as fan a chance for the homesteaders as climate and soil can give. Rev. Dr. Bingham has met with a serious disaster in the loss of his manuscript Dictionary of some 7000 words of the Gilbert Islands language. It has been the collection of thirty years residence among that people, and cannot be replaced. It is also a necessary instrument in the literary work he is The loss cairv ing on for those people. was caused by having too kindly loaned the book to an English gentleman who brought the highest testimonies of character and scientific standing, but who left Honolulu without personally returning the valuable treasure. There is evidence that he committed this and other books to the charge of a Japanese servant at the Pacific Club, to see to returning them to their owners. Moral.

Recent exposure of religious condi tions in the Philippines show that, in complete coijtiol not only of religion but of politics in that group, there survives the ancient Popery of the 15th century, that of the Horgias and Torijuemadas. The modern Roman Catholicism of America, and even of France, is a highly reformed religion in comparison. M. A. Hamm in the last N. Y. Independent, writes thereof, from intimate personal knowledge. There is the Church proper, which is controlled throughout by the Dominicans or "Hlack Friars." Then there are six brotherhoods with their numerous convents and monasteries; the Augustin friars; the Recollets; the Franciscans; the Capuchins; the Paulist fathers, who have eight schools and five hospitals; anil the poor Jesuits, who are allowed to have only one college, the Atheneum and the Astronomical and Meteorological Observatory. �84 The centers of insurrection have been the places where the Dominicans and Franciscans conduct their establish ments. The brotheth.iods own vast estates, both real and personal, which are exempt from taxation. The rentals of their lands are crushing to the tenantry. Their fees are heavy for all religious ceremonies, which the Jesuits claimed should be administered free of charge, for which the Dominicans procured the ex pulsion ot the Jesuits, from I TO* to IH.VJ. There is much cruel oppression of the people by the powerful friars. The brotherhoods are said to own one fifth of the cultivated soil of the Philip pines. They have heavy deposits in the banking houses of Manila, Hongkong and Singapore. In Hongkong they own several million dollars worth of real es tate, in the hands of diplomatic trustees. Very oddly they trust the American Consuls in preference to the Spanish Representatives. Nearly every American Consul m the far Fast is a trustee of real estate for the Dominican Friars of the Philippines. It will be recollected how the Domi nican Archbishop of Manila last May denounced the Americans and incidentally the British, as being heretical scum, thieves, assassins, and the assailants of women, unconscious, apparently, of the fact that at the very moment those thieves were holding in trust and protect ing for him over fifty million dollars worth ot property. In social morals, most of the Friars greatly debased. They are generally surrounded by half caste families. There are however, among them a few good and benevolent men, who are not whollyforgetful of the Master. How shall the debased and merely nominal Christianity of the Philippines be purged and recreated? What is to be Hawaii's pari in that work? are In assuming $4,000,000 of the public debt of Hawaii, the United States is only fulfilling an obligation, as well as being immensely the gainer by the transaction. This is made plain by the fact that the United States appropriates the entire revenue of Hawaii by Customs, which is $i60,0u0 annually, or six times enough to pay interest on the debt assumed. With the high American tariff, this Customs revenue will be increased, and is likely to more than pay for all military and naval expenses incident to the defense of the group. It seems to be matter of most serious regret that the voyage of the steamer Columbia of the new Seattle line, should be rendered an ill success, by protracted detention and litigation, giowing out of alleged ill treatment of passengers. There is certain to be in the futuie a heavy traffic in bananas and other fruits from Hilo to Oregon and Washington. Let our Seattle friends persevere. THE FRIEND. .. [October, 1898.
