That errand - plain. Ii is. in one It is to teach to thest sense, simple. Christ, souls who shall give them dying life —who is the Life. 'l am the Bread of Life," he declared "He that Cometh to me shall nut hunger, and he that believeih on im: Shall nevel thirst." Jesus' disciples in all ages have found this true in their own personal and blest expetience. Christ in their own souls has been Light and Power. He has satislied their soul's hunger anil thirst. By His power in them they overcome the world and sense and sin. This Life, then, experienced in our selves, it is our errand to impart to the souls of the heathen. They *Tt indescribably weak and destitute as to moral and spiritual activity. They are unspeakably depressed. They are haul to reach. But the Word of the Lord is might)' ami penetrating. The soul ol Christ's disciple, kindled with His faith and love, can and does reach many heathen souls among then multitudes, and they find Him who gives them a new and higbci life. And they bring others to Jesus. So Cnrist conies into that heathen community and saves it, lifting it up tiotn its debasement. This is Christ's method. It is the method of Cnristian missions to first of all preach Christ as a personal Savior, and get Him into the paralyzed souls of the heathen, to quicken them into life. Education must follow, but it is subsidis futile to uplift. Our lathers Bingham and Thurston took great pains from the outset of their la bora here to impart secular knowledge to the heathen Hawaiians. But their chief endeavor was to induce them to take Christ int. i their souls. And whenever a heathen chief or serf did so re the Lord, the change wrought was marvelous. The haughty, violent ty rant, K'aaluinianu, liecame tender and loving, renouncing her vices, and apply nig her great powers in ardent zeal to bring her people into obedience to the tatth. The foul jester, l'uaaiki, forsook his impure sallies and became an elo quent preacher of the Christ who had filled him with Light. And when chiefs and people began to find Christ, then, and not before, (lid they become docile and begin to learn Christian and civil- ised culture. Our errand, then, is to bring Christ to the heathen and them to Him Political Reform in China. The awakening of China to tile necessity of radical reform in her political system, caused by the wat with Japan, The has caused a crisis at Peking. reform over had gained strong party oi the young Emperor and had obtained from him a deciee of ladical changes in public education and administration. Alarmed by this step, the conservative party secured the influence ot the Empress Dowagei and Li Hung Chang, and have put the Emperor in duiess and subverted his plans. The empire seems to be in the throes of effort to bring forth the new birth of enlightened government. It can hardly be doubted that the effort will soon succeed. It is quite improbable that the Empress will attempt anything more than to retard what she considers too hasty and sudden changes. An immense amount of light has been for many years shining around the outer walls of the inner courts of Peking, and much dim illumination has penetrated even their darkest recesses, as the action of the young Emperor and his party has proved. Besides this, the influence of the foreign Embassies at Peking makes powerfully for the change—and that influence is NUMHER 11 strengthened by the military forces now gathered in defense of the embassies against the populace. What has already been so remarkably accomplished in Japan, maturing such advanced fruitage, we have reason to expect, will before many years, be sue cessfully initiated in China, and that great and capable race will soon begin to adopt the higher knowledge of the the Occident which they have hitherto disdained. They must either do this speedily, or submit to a division of the Empire under Protectorates by the Western Powers. The day of light is dawning for China. A Just Tribute to S. C. Armstrong. Mr. William M. Reid, an alumnus of Hampton, at a recent meeting of the Alumni Association of that school, among other things, said: "When I consider General Arm strong's age, less than thirty when this work began, his necessarily limited practical knowledge of the people with whom he proponed to deal, the novel and com plex questions growing out of the new condition of affairs as a result of the wai, which questions were puzzling the minds of the ablest and stanchest friends of the freedmen, and note the clearness of his insight, the correctness of his judgment as tested by the years that have passed, I do not hesitate to ascribe to him genius like unto that which enabled Lord Bacon with such unerring certainty to mark out the way for a revo lution in methods for the advancement of human knowledge, and to make a new era in the uplifting of humanity. "Having conceived the nature of the work he deemed it his dury to do, with a courage that was. dauntless, with a faith that was sublime, he steadfastly bent the whole of his tireless energies to its accomplishment; and in his ceaseless labors to that end there was 'no variableness neither shadow of turning.'" Hampton continues to fulfil its mission. Its students are carrying its purpose and spirit into many fields of labor. Witness the great institution of Tuskeegee under Booker T. Washington, a man of Armstrong's own spiritual begetting. Said Armstrong: "A man that requires no sacrifice does not count for much in fulfilling God's plans. But what is commonly called sacrifice is the best, happiest use of one's self and one's resources -the best investment of time, strength and means. He who makes no such sacrifice is most to be pitied. He is a heathen, because �THE FRIEND 86 he knows nothing of God." Brothers and sistets, let us be glad and swift to make our Be Christ-souls and not 'heathen." "Be swift, my soul, to meet Him; be jubilant, my feet I" False Notions About Saving Heathen. Col. Francis W. Parker, of the Chicago Normal School, last summer gave a series of highly appreciated lectures to a Teachers' Summer School in Honolulu. After his return home, the Chicago Times Herald reported the results of his observations, which were mainly friendly and appreciative. In that report the following paragraph occurs, upon a subject of which our friendly visitor could have had only the most lim ited opportunity to form a judgment "When the missionaries arrived, good men as they were, they had some very mistaken ideas about the nature of the people they wtre to work among. They saw no good in ihe natives, and tried to graft on them their own type of New England Christianity. They failed. The natives were in the end broken in spirit, and became indolent. Their upward progress was stopped for the time, and their patriotism was about all that was left for them to care for. Now 1 hope this will be changed." These words are simply the repetition of what the missionaries have always heard, and in other lands continue to hear, from those who do not believe in the plain gospel of Christ and his Apostles, with which "the New England type of Christianity" has always been in substantial accord, notwithstanding some inevitable traditional errors, which a better understanding of the New Testament is purging away. We should not notice them were it not for some peculiar editorial comments made thereon in : Honolulu. The second writer, who measurably believes in the missionaries, but not in the value of their gospel, says "The missionaries accepted the prey alent theological doctrine of the times in which they lived. Man was believed to have fallen through Adam's trans gression and there was no good in him. The theory of original sin was accepted in full by the churches that supported the missionaries. In their opinion there was but one way to "save" the natives, as well as the New linglander, and that was by accepting belief in the Atonement. Racial instincts, thetraditions of centuries, the iron grasp ol superstitions, it was believed, would disappear at once almost, on the acceptance of this : L Novcmber. 1898 ! belief.

Much credit is due to Mr. Hof gaard for his inteicst in the work; it was under his careful supei vision that the parsonage was built liuth he and Mr. brandt and Mr. Scott extended kind hospitalities to members ol the Association. Mr. Scott has ,i full school with several assistants. His over-ciowded school building is bring enlaiged. Ii is to be noted that Rev. Mr. Masste is having his parsonage repaired. A good work was done at Hanapepe last summei by Mr. K.ihalcole of the Theological School. Messrs. Kak.mi and W'aikalai, also of the Theological School, had been so successful with their summer work that they had each secured calls, the one to the Lihue, and the other to the Koloa Church. Their ordination and settle ment is lor the present postponed. It was noted that the pastor at X tolai! had had trouble with one of his deacons. This was probably due to an over hasty act of discipline on the part of the pastor. The Rev. S. Kiili of the Hanalei Church was again honored with the moderatorship of (he Association. Mr. Lydgate is to be congratulated for having kept the work on Kauai so well in hand. Evangelization off the Japanese. Visits to nine of the'eleven stations occupied by our Japanese evangelists have been made during the past two in inths, revealing a healthful state of the work at every point. At Kohala, Hilo, Papaikou, and Honomu. the representative of the Hawaiian Board met with audiences of from 50 to 70 persons, ami at two points four persons each made profession of faith.

If, aftei a short visit to the father land, he is able to return to Hawaii, he will be warmly welcomed. The two preachers on Maui, are earnestly at work both on the Sabbath and on week days. Rev. M. Tsuji, who reached his field in P .ii and Hamakuapoko, Maui, in the middle of July, is proving very acceptable nd useful. He reports the addition of sixteen members to his church, on the I lith inst., fifteen on profession of faith and one by letterfrom some other church. A good work is bting carried on with quiet energy by the young brother who seeks the enlightenment of the Japanese upon the Ewa Plantation. On Sabbath, October 'i.'l, thirteen young men giving evitlence of having been most faithfully instructed in Gospel truths made a good profession of their faith in the Savior of the world, receiving baptism and entering into communion with their fellow Christians. A most interesting incident of ihe visit to this company of Christians was the meeting of Mr. Gulick with a Japan ese lately arrived from his native land, named Sugai Tasabuto, who received baptism from Mr. Gulick at Xakajo, Niigata province, in the northern pari of Japan seventeen years ago. It was an unexpected joy to this far travelled laborer to meet here his former teacher and here to commune with a company of active and sympathetic Christians.

That this Tt nth National Council of Congregational Churches at Portland, Oregon, hereby extends to the churches of Hawaii, planted as they were by our missionaries, and continuing within the historic fellowship, a most cordial welcome to the Christian brotherhood of the States, together with its pledge of earnest cooperation in the work of our common Lord. In expressing the spirit of fellowship, the Council also chei ishes the hope of greeting Hawaiian representatives at its future sessions, as members of this body. 11 was voted that a copy of this action be sent to the Hawaiian Churches. W. H. M ORE, (A true copy.) Registrar. Letter from Rev. S. Kauwealoha. Papeete, Tahiti, July 14, IS'as, Rtv. 0. P. Kmerson: llear Brother: Greetings to you and your household. We are here for a visit Kekela came first in the month of May. He came litre to chatter, if possible, a small vessrl just as you wrote him to do—for the rem ival of his family to Honolulu. Capt. Hen Chapman is helping him in this search; but the expectation is that the plan will not be matured till 1*99. As for myself, I came here to place ill) adopted daughter (one of Kekela's chililien) in Rev. Mr. Vieont's school, wheie she can be taught the I'"tench language and other useful studies. She has a very nice school home. The Nth of July is a great day here, and the people have gathered from the dillerent islands of the group; dwellers on the island of Tahiti, of Kaiatea, Huahine, Rurutu and Tuamotu. also two steamers have brought a large passenger list from Australia and New Zealand This is a holiday commemorative of the founding ol the French Republic, the administration of which seems to be a success, to its remotest colonial dependency. Kekela and I have now been forty five years residents in the French possession? of the Marquesas, and we never have suffered wrong at the hands of the Government-—we have been protected in all our rights; whatever harm has come, has been suffered at the hands of lawless natives and residents. The city of Papeete is growing; this growth is noticeable in the enlarged business interests, in the development of various enterprises, the improvement of the streets and roadways, as well as in the appearance of the residences. The — �THE FRIEND. 92 cultivation of the vanilla plant is one of the leading industries and is very profitable on the islands of Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea, and Huahine. The profit rif this industry has greatlyincreased during the past year, the price per kilo for the vanilla bean being $15, and the natives .ire building themselves houses out of the returns gained from this industry. Ktkela and I took a charming drive of 30 miles on the southern side of the island (Tahiti). The road took us through vanilla plantations, and here and there, through umbrageous trees, nice houses were peeping out. There is plenty of work here for the natives, should they choose to exert themselves. Orange and Cocoanut trees offer profitable crops; there are forests for the production of wood-coal, and various fibres abound for the making of hats and mats, such as are made from bamboo, from banana and lauhala leaves, and from sugar cane tassels. Good feeling exists here between the churches and the pastors. The missionaries, the Revs. Verenie and Vieont and their French associates have conducted things wisely. The people of the island of 'Tahiti have prospered undei the rule of the Republic, and this can also be said of the other islands Huahine, Bolabola, Raiatea, Moorea, Tubuai, Moorewa and the groups of Tuamotu and Nuuhiwa. In these regions good laws have been promulgated and offenders have been — punished. We are exceedingly glad in the hope that tsachers have been found here—a man and his wife -to go to Puamau in the Marquesas, and take up the work tnere —start again the school work, which for a time, has been suspended, and to continue the preaching services. Thus the house whose pillar had decayed, is to be supplied with new ones. It is with the impression that the Hawaiian Board does not plan to send new men into the Marquesas, that I have come here to get them. It is seventeen years since I was last here in Papeete, and here lam again, entreating the mis sion at 'Tahiti to send missionaries to the Marquesas to take our places, tor we are old and almost ready to fall by the way, and moreover we have not the necessary command of the French language; so the work must be taken up by the churches of 'Tahiti and Moorea. We return to our fields at Puamau and Uapou by the steamer which sails on the 19th inst. Meanwhile we are having frequent converse with the pastors here at Papeete, concerning the work at the Marquesas. Give our warm "aloha to the members of the Hawaiian Board and to all the Mrs. Alice Gordon Gulick's School. At the late meeting of the American at Grand Rapids, Mich., a stirring address was made by Mrs. (itilick. ot the College for Women at San Sebastian, which has been temporarily removed to Biarritz "Mrs. Gulick reviewed the history i»l the mission, showing with what small help lasting results have been reached.
