Coptic on the 23d brought quite a number of missionaries and others who were rescued on August 14, from their siege of seven weeks' bombardment by Chinese foes. 'The congregation at Central Union Church listened to the story of the siege as narrated by Rev. Franklin Chapin. He closed by saying: "1 do not believe that all of this has been for naught. It is part of God's great purpose to build up a new China on the old empire. He saved us because he has work yet for us to do in China; He saved all those Chinese Christians because he had need of them. They are a great and grand people, and they can serve Him and will serve Him in years to come." Missions in China. The Pacific gives the following figures and comments: So far as figures can tell the story, the will show the dimensions of the which the anti-foreign fanatics in have endeavored to overthrow. At ginning of the outbreak, there were King [No. HONOLULU, H. 1., OCTOBER, 1900. Vol. 58.] 54 Protestant missionary societies represented in that empire; 23 of these being American. Two thousand four hundred and sixteen foreign missionaries were laboring there—976 from the United States and 624 from England. Five hundred and twenty-seven of these (276 Americans) were ordained ministers, and 519 laymen; of the entire number nearly 300 were connected with the China Inland Mission. The stations occupied were 470 (155 American), with 1,969 outstations. In their churches were enrolled 80,622 communicants; and in their schools, 30,-046 day pupils. There is much difference of opinion among those best qualified to judge as to the prospects of reopening the work. At the best, to human view, the prospect is troubled But it is all serene where our Father holds sway. These disturbances have not occurred without His knowledge, or beyond His control. And His eye surveys, not only the final issue, but all the steps involved. The wrath of man here, as elsewhere, is to be made to praise Him, and the remainder of it He will restrain. He has been doing it, is doing it, and will continue to do it. Who can recall the wonderful spiritual movements, which have been going forward in China during the past few years, the blessing which has attended Foochow college and associated work, the more recent, unh inked for, and remarkable revival among the students at Tung Clio, news of which came to us almost simultaneously with the story of the outbreak—who can read these stories and not see God's hand anticipating and preparing for the whole wonderful movement! How gloriously, too, many of these Chinese Christians arcjustifying the confidence reposed in them by their Master and fulfilling their trust! They are "sailing through bloody -seas"; but, tliank God, they are sailing. And he, whom they serve, knows how to make the angriest storm subside into a calm, and so to bring their bark "immediately to the land whither they would go. One may even feel an exultant serenity like that which recently possessed one whose soul was kept in absolute repose, while for hours all heaven's artillery incessantly flashed and threatened destruction. "My Father is above it," was the quieting thought, "and except he give the word nothing can hurt me." That was the pillow on which the troubled found rest. And the storm which is. sweeping over China is equally subject to the Father's sway. It, too, is among those "all things" which "are working together for good" to Christ's kingdom and to the Lord's servants. A Discrowned King. From The Pacific.

He was a hard-headed, shrewd, unsentimental worker, a bold operator, but he was not a gambler. He might be cruel, but it was all in the line of legitimate business. Every cent of his immense wealth was accumulated by tireless industry of the honorable sort. But just here the weakness ji this great man conies to view. He was a man of business, and nothing more. No other side of his nature was developed than this. Spiritually, he would seem to be wholly uncultivated. He had his portion in this life, and was for his own generation a wise man ; but he was essentially of the earth, earthy. He had no place in institutionalized Christianity. So far as the public knows he was not a religious man ; seldom, if ever, thought upon things beyond the sphere of sense; probably did not believe much in the future life; or find the thought of it attractive; avoided reference to it; shrank from any reminders of it, or of his own approaching nearness to it. The traits of character, which would be developed by a spiritual life, were distinctly lacking in him; nor is it easy to imagine him as entering with pleasure into the social conditions and occupations of the Christian heaven.

For the information of those who are with the past history of this Portuguese Mission, allow me to run over in a few words some of the items of interest, already known to most of you. The beginning of the first organize 1 Christian work for the Portuguese in this city, 1 might say in the Pacific Ocean, was proposed by Miss Knight, a sister of Mrs. C. M. Hyde, and followed up by Mrs. J. M. Whitney, at a meeting held in the Central Union Church in 1887. As a resu't not acquainted following this meeting, a Sabbath school was started on Sunday afternoon, in the �84 old native church situated on the grounds by the parsonage, and owned by the Mission. Tonight we come to celebrate tlve tenth anniversary of the arrival of Mr. A. Y. and Mrs. Rachel Soares, and Mr. J. K. Baptiste as missionaries to the Portuguese on these Islands. Rev. E. N. Piries, of Jacksonville, 111., came with these workers, and with C. M. Hyde, D.D., assisted in organizing and establishing the Mission under the Hawaiian Board. At that time the land was secured with the help of Mr. P. C. Jones, on which the present main school-house was built, and used as a church and Sunday school room for nearly three years, Mr. and Mrs Soares living in the cottage still remaining on the grounds, and usefl at present for a pinting office for the Mission paper, "Boas Navos." In the winter of 1894-5, the teachers and workers in the Sunday School made up their minds that larger quarters were needed for the work, and a more comfortable home for the pastor and his family, and a subscription list was started among themselves for that purpose on February 15th, 1895. On April 4th, Mr. Soares received $15.50 from a collection at the opening exercises of the Evangelical Association at Kaumakapili Church, to add to this fund. From this time on donations and subscriptions came in larger and smrller amounts from all directions. On the 10th of November, 1895, Mr. W. A. Bowen gave a public address in the Central Union Church, in which he mentioned the commencement of this Mission, its growth, its outlook, its needs and plans, ending with an appeal for funds. with which to build a new church building with Sabbath School rooms attached. A building committee was appointed from among the teachers and workers in the Mission, and approved by the Hoard, and the matter was taken up in earnest. For eighteen months time and energy were spent, in the interest of the Mission, and showed with good results. On December 20th, 1895, the comer lot on Miller and Punchbowl streets was secured, and plans were at once gone into for a building of the size and conditions to suit the lot and locality. On May sth, 1896, plans were approved and adopted and work commenced on the cellar and stone foundation, and finished now occupied on June 15th. On June 29th, the building ws commenced. The corner stone was laid July 9th, when nearly all the frame was up, and public services were held. On that occasion $516.35 was raised towards the building fund. The new church was dedicated November Ist, 1896, at which time $1,512 was raised. February 2nd, 1897, the Hawaiian Board accepted the committee's report, and the property was transferred to them.

The estimated present value of the total property used by the Mission, is about $25,000. 'The new kindergarten building was built and opened November 26th, being the gift of Mr. J. B. Atherton, at a cost of $1,035.00. In August, 1900, the old church building having been used for a school house for some four years, was moved back and connected with the other school house (a donation from Mrs. M. S. Rice) and a third beautiful room has been formed by the combination of the other two first mentioned rooms, and now by opening doors the general exercises for the three rooms can be carried on together. The Mission is now in a most prosperous condition, as to buildings and property, having also a large day school, and a regular Sunday school numbering 125 to 150 scholars, and a good church attendance. But all this is of little avail, if there should be any discords or jealousies arising among the workers, or among the people. The workers in thus Mission are just as much a part of the general Christian work of the city, and of the world, as any other part of Christ's kingdom. There must be harmony and goodwill shown in every part of the Mission work, and my prayer is that God may bless us; that we may claim to be recognized as one of the most successful Christian enterprises in the city. In behalf of myself, and the workers, I want to thank the Hawaiian Board, and at the same time to congratulate them, for fathering and carrying on this Portuguese Mission, for securing so wise and faithful a director in the person of Rev. A. Y. Soares, and under him such a corps of earnest and thoughtful co-workers, no' only in the church proper, but in our day schools. Time will not allow extended comment, or even allusion to all the helpers, for there are many. Springfield and Jacksonville, 111., are looked upon as the adopted parents of the Mission; they have furnished us most valuable workers, and the family names of Soares, Piries, Baptiste, Ferreira, and others, are well known among us, and their work speaks for itself. Of our home talent I mention the names of Ernest Silva, of Maui, A. H. R. time, but many others with their money, and all these together, with God's help, have made this mission what it is today. A few of these are with us tonight, others are absent. We cannot forget those who have gone on before us, who can tonight look down and see these buildings and the work that we now enjoy, because of them. Among those we think of are, . Miss Eunice B. Knight, Rev. E. N. Piries, Mrs. Julia Waterhouse, li. A. Jones, John T. Waterhouse, Mrs. Rachel Soares, Mrs. Juliette M. Cooke, Rev. C. M. Hyde, D.D., §. X. Castle, A. J. Silva, and others. Every Mission has its needs, and will always call on their friends for help. Do not think it a hardship to help them, but think of the rewards that will come sooner or later. What we have is not ours, but His, and He gives us many opportunities to spend it on His own work. California's Golden Anniversary. With great fitness, on the 10th of September, the 50th anniversary of the Statehood of California, was observed in Honolulu by her Xative Sons and their guests. All that concerns California has been and will continue to be of great importance to us in Hawaii. Our ties with that great and powerful State are close and binding. The anniversary was the occasion of enthusiastic celebrations in San Francisco and other cities on the Coast. This editor vividly recalls the excitement created in western New York in 1848 by the discovery of gold in California. Thousands of men sold out, and started at once across the plains for California, or else via Cape Horn or Panama, many of the latter dying on the road. Few of those "old '49ers" now survive. It is their sons who are celebrating. How little then could be anticipated the stirring events of the past half-century which have so altered the aspect of the world, and especially of this Pacific C )cean Great have been and are the op! portunities opened for service to God and to man. Both California and Hawaii are undoubtedly destined to render such service largely and bountifully. Death of Mrs. Thomas Brown. This venerated lady passed away somewhat suddenly, on the 20th ult. at the great age of 88 years. With her husband, she had been a resident in these Islands for nearly sixty years. Her culture and character was an important element in imparting an elevated tone to Honolulu so- �She leaves four sons, and a floor of the House. The coming Legisladaughter, the wife of the Rev.

New German Church. Contracts have been awarded for the construction of a German Lutheran church edifice for $9,800, on T.eretania street near Punchbowl. It will be of wood on stone foundation, with seating capacity of 500. The name of the new organization is to be the (ierman Lutheran Evangelical Church of Honolulu. A superior organ is contemplated. Leading (ierman firms participate in this undertaking, which comes none too soon for the spiritual needs of this important section of our community. Political Prospects in Hawaii. So far as forecast can now be made, the coming election will be carried with a large majority by the native Hawaiian voters under the lead of Robert Wilcox. 'They have organized as the "Independent Home Rule Party," with the avowed purpose of excluding from the Government all white men who have not steadily identified themselves with the Royalist cause so dear to the native mind. The organization of this party is complete. They have thoroughly canvassed the field, and find the great majority of the native voters so well united under their banner, that they reject with scorn all overtures from the weak organization of the Democrats, to unite with them upon certain candidates. They require of all their nominees absolutely to decline nomination by any other party. The Republican Party also is well organized, and will doubtless secure the support of the great majority of the white voters. In the hope of securing a good portion of the Hawaiian vote for a Delegate to Congress who shall at least be of reputable character, the Republican candidate for Delegate is Col. Samuel Parker, a wealthy, able, and popular cattle king of three-fourths Hawaiian blood, who would doubtless be acceptable on the floor of the House at Washington. With a like purpose of attracting native voters, the Democrats have nominated Prince David Kawananakoa, a young gentleman of wealth and sporting proclivities. There seems little doubt but that Mr. Wilcox will be the first Delegate from our Territory to Congress. For many reasons which need not be stated, it is quite impossible that he can be an acceptable or capable representative of Hawaii on the 85 THE FRIEND. Vol. 58, No. 10] * Old Landmarks Gone. The past month has witnessed the destruction of two residences in the business part of the city, which have been for over fifty years conspicuous as social centers. One was the noted Paki House, built by the high chief .Miner Paki on King street in the forties. It was for over thirty years the beautiful home of the distinguished Princess, Mrs. Bernice Paualu Bishop. For some years past it has been occupied as the "Arlington Hotel." The other residence was immediately mauka or inland of the former, on 1 lotel street. It was erected perhaps later than the former one by the late R. W. Wood, M. 1)., an early founder of Koloa plan.ation. Some thirty years since, it passed into the hands of John S. McGrew, M. D., who recently sold the spacious premises to Mr. Alexander Young for $135,000. Mr. Young is about to build a grand hotel on part of both premises, extending from King to Hotel street. Both houses have just been demolished, and the splendid old shade trees are being destroyed. A new street is to be opened through, parallel with Fort street. It will be extended seaward to Queen street, and probably inland to Beretania. It will give great relief to the present congestion of Fort street. Very few edifices now remain in Honolulu which date back more than fifty years. Within two years, four story buildings of elegant architecture have arisen, and one of seven stories is fast approaching full height. Deep Sewer Ditch. The commonly crowded corner of streets has of late been badly obstructed by the construction of the great main sewer. This is about fourteen feet in depth at this corner, and seven or eight feet below mean tide level. There is consequently a copious seepage of water, requiring several engines to pump it clear, so as to permit excavation and the laying of pipe. This is 34 inches in diameter. A considerable part of it is of concrete, solidly molded in the bottom of the ditch. The rest is ironstone piping, more easily laid. At the street corner, the excavation shows about three feet of soil, one and a half of black sand, and 9 or 10 feet of solid coral. This large sewer main is some 4,000 Queen and Fort feet in length from the outlet and sewage pumps in Kakaako. It also extends some Half mile farther along Queen and River streets. Another branch of the sewer main goes up South street beyond the new Iron Works to King. Siime difficulty has arisen about the outflow into deep water beyond the reef in consequence of failure of the contractors, and it is not clear how much longer the use of the new sewer system is to lie deferred. Summer Camping at Wahiawa. A number of our friends with children have lately spent many delightful weeks in tents at an elevation of i,2oj feet on the gentle and beautiful slope of the mountain east of the level plateau midway between Pearl City and Waialua. There is a pleasant colony of American homesteaders in the immediate vicinity, from whom milk, butter, eggs, vegetables and watermelons were obtainable. The road is good to Pearl City, twelve miles for other supplies. There was found delightful bathing in the spacious pools of the Kaukonahua stream. Many interesting excursions were taken into the woods and gulches inland, which abound in lovely land-shells. The Wahiawa Colony have a Government school of thirty white pupils. 'They expect to secure valuable irrigation rights front the Kaukonahua stream. Their average rainfall must exceed 50 inches, but there is apt to be considerable drought in summer and fall. At present the colonists are occupying rather make-shift dwellings, until a good bridge shall be constructed adequate for hauling lumber to their settlement. Harbor Possibilities at Hilo. Mr. H. li. Cooper, Territorial Secre- tary, is reported as publicly advising the citizens of Hilo to seek their needed har- bor improvement by opening to the sea the Waiakea and Waiolama ponds, and excavating the same by dredgers to tVe depth necessary to accommodate large ships. If this work is practicable, and doubtless it is so, there seems nothing to prevent Hilo from possessing a harbor of equal excellence and security with that of Honolulu, and perhaps equally commodious. Another project has been to build a breakwater north-westward from the end of Cocoanut island. That would probably he far more costly than the other scheme, and could hardly afford any similar security from the entrance of heavy sea in northerly gales, or in tidal waves, which occasionally invade those shores. There should be no long delay in giving Federal aid to Hilo in obtaining a good harbor, both for commercial and naval �[October, 1900. THE FRIEND. 86 10th.—Resident Native Sons of the reasons.

More About "Geology of Oahu." Supplementary to our Review of Hitchcock's "Geology of Oahu" in our August issue, it has to be stated that the mass of mingled tuff and calcareous matter at the base of Diamond Head has been found to be a wind-blown sand-dune. Consequently we were in error in stating that "Those mollusks and corals are found in the layers of breccia, and were evidently fragments of the coral reef through whicn the eruption of the .crater had torn its vent." They were transported from the beach by the action of wind-storms. Dr. Dall mistook the crusts common in old sand dunes, for coral formations, and thus wrongly attributed a former high elevation to the sea in that locality. Record of Events. Sept.

He com- pared mem to the labors of a number of men who set out to cut down one of the lug trees in California. They cut a little here and there about the tree and finally Hieir work seemed so small m comparison 10 what was necessary to fell the tree that they became discouraged. But that night a wind came and their cnipping at the nase ot the tree had so weakened it that it fed. Ihe tree, he said, was like the great enemy, Sin, winch they were all cutting away at in an endeavor to fell, and wh.le they seemed to accomplish little, still if they kept at it it would all result well in the end. Mr. liaptistc then repeated his address in Portuguese for the benefit of the members of the church who did not understand English, Rev. E. (j. Silva, the young pastor of the mission at Paia, Maui, spoke eloquently to the congregation in Portuguese of the work that had been done by the mission and then he turned to the others and in English thanked them for their interest in the mission as shown by their presence and especially for the moral and financial aid which many of them had rendered to the mission. A. F. Cooke followed with a paper on the history of the church since its foundation. 1 his statement will be found in other columns. He was followed by Mr. F. W. Damon, the superintendent of the Chinese Mission in Hawaii. "When I attend a meeting of this kind, ' he said, "I always wish that the gift of tongues might have been vouchsaied me so that I might speak so that all might understand all that 1 say. I feel it a great privilege to be with you tonight and represent the mission with which 1 am connected.

We have nut here in the name of a common Lord and Master, and we are all fighting under the same banner. "We have followed with intense interest the work of the allied troops in Chi,.a and when there were rumors of lack of unity among them our hearts sank, for we feared that their work might not be successful, but when we learned how they were all fighting shoulder to shoulder without strife among them we all rejoiced. In the same sense we are all allies in th:.' same fight, we are all striving in a common cause. We look to the same leader and we hope to win a victory by our joint endeavors, for we are fighting for Christ, and against sin. We of the Chinese mission are glad to congratulate you upon the success of your work. We must fight a little longer and work and labor still, but finally we shall be called home to our re* ward. �"Particularly I am glad to see so many young people among the congregation. You children who are fortunate enough to grow up in these Islands have a great work before you. Here you are brought face to face and close in contact with many different peoples and you are given an opportunity to learn at first hand to understand them and to help them. When you are grown up you will be exceptionally well fitted to carry on the work which your fathers have started and many of you may be fortunate enough to be called to labor for Christ in your turn." Mr. Damon's address was followed by the benediction by Rev. Silas Perry. The company then adjourned to the school buildings at the Mission across Miller street above the Queen's Hospital, where a collation was spread. An example of the work that is beirg done by the mission was the souvenir programme of the occasion. It was a neat bit of work, adorned by a half-tone of the church building, printed entirely in the mission printing office. [October, 1900.

It has accommodations for titty children, at present. It consists of a school, dining room, kitchen, and dormitories. The Orphanage was erecte.i last January. Besides that, I built a parsonage and a teachers' cottage, having a lanai twelve feet wide. The coffee house has been enlarged. 'The cost of the present one was $600, and there are places for pulping, washing, drying, roasting, grinding and packing." When asked to explain the aims of the Orphanage, Miss Beard stated that she originally started with the Japanese; but that now they proposed to throw it open to all nationalities, irrespective of religious denomination. The idea is to have the institution, which is now amy incorporated and hopes to shortly receive its charter under some new act of Legislature "to engage teachers for the institution, to place the coffee on the market, and also, oecause 1 feel the ocean voyage and restup will do me good. 1 shall not be gone long, however. it is stated that the Kona estate of Miss Heard is far and away the best cared for property in that locality, as she had ample means and spared no expense to make ;' beautiful and profitable.—/.

Miss Barrett will act as associate director with Miss Kopa at the Palama Kindergarten, and Miss Kracke is to be director of the Fort Street Kindergarten. It has been decided that Miss T.ray retains her position as director of the Miller Street Kindergarten and Miss Johnson of the Sanitarium will take the place of Miss Rice, whose health is too poor to take Up the work at the opening of the schools on September 17. It may not be generally known that a training class for teachers is in connection with this work. This opens up a great opportunity to young girls who naturally would find a free and healthful vent for their high spirits in this Kindergarten work with the children.

She attends personally to its ailments, if any; bathes it and if the child requires building up, a meal is pro- vided daily at the Kindergarten it attends. A bath-house is part of the establishment of each Kindergarten and although it is desired that the children make a practice of using it, special cases are looked after by this voting lady. Cuts and small wounds, bruises, etc., are carefully and deftly cured by simple remedies. The children are taken by the teachers in not 89 THE FRIEND. These pipes are 44 inches in diameter.
