Why Convert Non-Christians? 103 thirty-two subsequent years of residence in Hilo, Mrs. Lyman has been a leader in spiritual things. Few women anywhere have been more truly such a leader. Her spiritual endowment was large, her disposition sweet and winning, and her faith and consecration ardent and deep. A very devout and gracious soul has passed on to the rest of the Lord. Mrs. Lyman leaves four sons, three of them married, and two daughters of adult age. The eldest are twin brothers. She was herself the youngest of seven children. Three brothers and two sisters survive her, the oldest brother, Warren P, Chamberlain, Est)., aged 72, and the oldest sister, Mrs. Maria J. Forbes, aged 69, both residing in Honolulu, and resting after long and laborious lives. Another sister also is here, the well known and still somewhat active city missionary, Miss Martha A. Chamberlain. Our especial sympathy is tendered to the husband, left to walk on alone. Yet he and all the bereaved family, possess in a rare degree the shining example of one passed "beyond the veil" in clear assurance of life in Christ. Robert E. Speer answers as follows: "The primary business of the missionary is a religious business. Missions are the product of the conviction that Christianity is a divine life in man, and that every Christian is different from other men, not in this or that external, but in the fact that he is alive and other men are dead. The Church may have become so much like the world as to have lost sight of this truth, but the New Testament is falsehood and delusion if there is not in the Christian the power of a supernatural life which is absent from the non-Christian. It is to give men that life that the Church sends out missionaries, and all kinds of accessory and blessed consequences How from missionary work because the life of Christ planted in men cannot be restrained from producing such results." It is Christian teaching that ungodly and impenitent men are dead in soul. As Paul said to the Lphesian disciples, "You hath He quickened (or made alive) when ye were dead in trespasses and sins." Missionaries go to impart the life of Christ to dead souls. Those who receive Christ, H. S. Townsend to Mindanao. receive the mighty power of Cod into Prof. Henry S.

He has distinguished himself by mental ability, thoroughness and determination, and by zeal and activity in improving the standard of education in Hawaii. His long experience in introducing the Hawaiian children to the use of the English language, especially fits him for a similar work with the native tribes of Mindanao. Mr. Townsend has here proved himself a man of earnestly benevolent Christian spirit. Nothing less than this could induce him now to break up bis pleasantly settled home in Honolulu, and remove his family to the remote and little known field of Mindanao. He must encounter there immense difficulties. Indeed we doubt whether the very barbarous, if not absolutely savage condition of a large portion of the tribes will permit the establishment of schools outside of a few of the larger towns along the coast. lie will have the great advantage of the whole force of the U. S. Government behind him, such as no missionary could enjoy. Our missionary people in Honolulu will feel the deepest sympathy with his undertaking, and interest in its success. Mrs. Townsend, nee Hitchcock, is a grand-daughter of one of our earlier and most successful missionaries. Key. Dr. Hiram I'.ingham of the Gilbert Is. mission has long been solicitous to see the missionary work in Micronesia extended to the great island of Mindanao lying just beyond the Micronesian island chains. Mr. Townsend may explore and open the way which shall lead to such missionary enterprise. Old Memories of Hawaii. By S. E. Bishop. ( Continued.) I think that at Ewa. we saw much tea* of the higher class of chiefs than while living at Kailua. Their residence arts �96 at Lahaina, or at Honolulu, where I seldom saw them. I do not remember ever in my childhood to have seen Kauikeaouli (King Kamehameha UO or his sister Nahienaena, both of whom I often heard mentioned. There was one chief whose face was familiar, named Kealiiahonui, who was conspicuous for his stature and personal beauty. He was brought to Honolulu in 1823 by the then tyrannical Regent Kaahumanu, who took him and his father, King Kaumualii of Kauai as her joint husbands. At her conversion in 1825, she put away her younger husband. I was also familiar with the person of Auhea Kekauluohi, the mother of King Lunalilo. The Premier Kinau, half-sister of the King, 1 often saw. On one memorable occasion, she and her husband, the redoubtable Governor Kekuanaoa, visited Waiawa where we lived. They had been making a sort of royal progress around the island, and were travelling in great state. They had come through that day 20 miles from Waialua, and were received by the Konohiki and people under a great lanai covered with cocoanut leaves, where they sat upon the large sofa on which they travelled. This sofa was mounted upon an immense platform composed of long poles crossing each other in such a manner that fifty men at once could lift and trot off with their royal load. The mission family went up and paid our respects in company with the principal people of the district. There was a great gathering of people, both those of Ewa, and those who accompanied the chiefs from Waialua. Our people prostrated themselves and crawled up into the royal presence. The head man of Waialua was quite conspicuous in active attendance on the great personages, and was got up in superior costume. Our own head man, Kanepaiki, seemed to be absent, until I at last espied him squatting at some distance among the common natives, dressed in an old dirty shirt and malo. Expressing my surprise, my father explained that the high chiefs would think much more of him for his humility than of the ostentatious gentleman from Waialua. I had never seen Kanepaiki so poorly dressed. Possibly the fact of Kinau being owner of Ewa made some difference, relegating him to the position of a mere servant, whereas the Waialua man had been acting as entertainer. Kinau was a tall and portly chiefess, weighing from 250 to 300 pounds. Her features were coarse and unattractive, yet not forbidding. She then had three sons and a daughter. Two of the sons became the Kings Kamehameha IV and Y. An older son, Moses, died in youth, after having developed a violent and un- THE FRIEND. controllable nature, of which I once witnessed a sample in his childhood. We were embarking for Kauai early in 1839. in company with Mr. and Mrs. Amos F. Cooke ,and the old governor of Kauai, Kaikioewa, who was the official Kahu, or guardian of little Prince Moses. The youngster had made up his mind to go with his guardian. He came down to Robinson's wharf where we were about to set sail, and laid hold of the side of the brig, yelling and howling. His guardian all the time continued to dissuade and expostulate. No one dared to use force upon the furious child. This continued for more than two hours, until nearly night. Finally his father, the governor Kekuanaoa, sent down a file of soldiers with orders to arrest and convey the little prince home to the palace near by. This released us from further detention, and we set sail. It was a tiresome, but very curious experience. To Mr. and Mrs. Cooke it was doubtless an instructive experience, since about a year later, as I think, they were placed in charge of the "Royal School" for the children of the Chiefs, over whom they maintained a family rule of gentle but firm discipline, to which the little princes had been strangers. To revert to the royal visit at Waiawa, several days had been previously occupied in preparing food for the entertainment of the chiefs and their great retinue, taxing all the resources of the people. Probably the food was taken from the patches, always the best ones, which were set apart for the use of the Landlord, and cultivated by the weekly labor of all the natives. Not far inland from our house were dug three immense "imu" ovens. These were deep and broad pits, holding 20 or 30 barrels each of taro. One or two cords of wood were piled in each pit and covered with lava stones perhaps two feet deep. The burning of the wood brought most of the stones to more than red heat. When the wood was consumed, the hot stones were levelled and the taro piled upon them, together with sweet potatoes, and large hogs wrapped in banana-leaves. The interiors of the hogs were first filled with red hot stones, as well as cavities opened between the shoulder-blades and ribs. Other meats were added, such as goats, fowls and fish, the smaller being wrapped in ki-leaves. As soon as the piles of vegetables and meats were suitably laid up in the pits, the whole mass was covered deeply with fresh grass and rushes. The earth dug from the pits was then piled upon the grass, covering it deeply, but leaving a small opening on the summit of the mound. Into this was suddenly poured water to the amount of three or four June1, 901. barrels. The earth was instantly piled into the opening, sealing in the violently escaping steam generated by the red-hut stones. The ovens were then left to "stew in their own juice" for several hours. On opening, the contents were found to be most thoroughly cooked by the steam. The meats were peculiarly savory. Probably there is no more satisfactory plain cooking in the world, nor any performed with greater economy of fuel, than in the Hawaiian Emu. A heavy task remained, to clean the taro and pound it into poi. Much of the taro next to the stones had become baked into a tough but savory crust. 1 believe that the New England "clam-hakes" are cooked in a similar manner, with drift wood in pits in the sands of the beaches. Our visit to Kauai on the occasion mentioned above, extended from Koloa to Hanalei. Koloa was occupied by Mr. Gulick, Hanalei by Messrs. Alexander and Johnson. Mr. Gulick lived in a large thatched cottage of native style. ()f special interest at Koloa was a silk farm conducted by Mr. Titcomb who had a few acres of Multicaulis mulberry which were very flourishing. He had also a considerable quantity of silk-worms, which had to be fed on fresh mulberry leaves. We saw the worms making cocoons, and the various processes of reeling the silk from the cocoons, into beautiful and glossy skeins. That plantation failed, doubtless in part from lack of reliable skilled labor. There was also a little sugar plantation at Koloa, managed by Mr. Hooper, who was a partner of William Ladtl and P. A. Hrinsmade, merchants of Honolulu. The crop could not have exceeded one or two hundred tons. The mill had small iron rollers, driven by water-power. The boiling train was composed of rather Hat pans. The syrup was crystallized in large jars like conical flower-pots, with a hole at the apex, corked with canebagasse, which when opened, allowed the molasses to drain out. A large pile of sugar gathered from such pots awaited transportation. I gratefully remember a generous hunk of the brown crystals graciously bestowed on myself by Mr. Hooper, who must have been a good sort of man. I think that sugar plantation generally brought some profit to its owners, and had a history continuous with the modern and very profitable Koloa Plantation. It was the earliest manufactory of sugar in these Islands. At the time of our visit, the native labor was hired at twelve and a half cents a day, payable in coarse cotton cloth at 25 cents a yard. The natives were eager for the wages, never before having earned any. No coin was used, only token-money. Mr. Gulick raised colts, and his rum- �Vol. 59, No. 6.] erous boys all became expert horsemen. The oldest, Halsey, was then eleven years old, a boy of great brightness and loveableness. Very interesting was a business training for his boys, instituted by Mr. G., who made money tokens of his own, with which the boys traded with him and each other. This cultivated in them ideas of property value, and of traffic, which were serviceable throughout life. Orramel, the second boy, was then an alert lad of nine, old enough to be a playmate. Five brothers of this family became remarkable as a peculiarly active and successful set of foreign missionaries, all still surviving except I lalsey. Mounted on good ponies by the kindness of Mr. (iulick, we made a two days ride to Hanalei. I remember that Mr. and Mrs. H. (). Knapp were in our party. Mr. K. was a brother of a lady who came to Kauai a few years later, Mrs. Dr. J. W. Smith of Koloa. I remember that he was very neat in his dress, and wore gloves when riding. Mrs. Knapp afterwards became the stepmother of San ford I'.. Dole, a lady of very calm and quiet efficiency. The ride was a delightful one, through a rarely beautiful country. At the last descent into the splendid Hanalei valley, messengers from Mr. Alexander met us with a large bucket of cow's milk, which I was thirsty enough to drink, although rather disliking its flavor, being used only to goat's milk. The Pnshops found hospitable quarters with the then young Alexanders, who had a comfortable stone house. They had three little boys, the oldest now my honored friend and "puluna" of the Coast Survey, and the youngest the genial sugar-king, Sam. We bad a canoe ride up the beautiful river. The great green mountain towering over the rear of the valley made a lasting impression. I have not since seen the place in 62 years. We returned the following week as far as Liliue. There were one or two deep streams to cross in canoes, swimming the horses. At W'ailua. we were entertained with very warm hospitality by the ex-queen Debora Tapule, who had formed a great affection for my own mother in Waimca in 1824. On leaving she gave us a large package of choice tapas and fine Niihau mats. She lived in a very large thatched cottage, with a most clean and comfortable interior. Reaching the little bay near Liliue, we spent there sonic 36 hours. It was long before the days of sugar plantations and cattle ranches. The natives were numerous and the only inhabitants. A schooner bore us speedily to Honolulu with a fair wind, which was unusual in sailing "to windward." While at Ewa, we increased our ac- 97 THE FRIEND. quaintance with the few white families residing in Honolulu, not of the Mission. Mrs. Charlton and Mrs. Taylor have already been spoken of. We were once at dinner at the house of a Mrs. Capt. Hinkley, and repeatedly at that of Mrs. Capt. Carter, a most sociable and active lady, whose many descendants have greatly prospered here. We had much acquaintance with the families of Messrs. Ladd and Hrinsmade, who had some church connection with us, unlike most of the foreign residents. We saw much of the sister of Dr. Wood, who married Capt. Little, and after his loss at sea, became Mrs. Hooper, a very lively and agreeable woman. I remember being at the house of Mrs. Corney, whose two aged daughters still reside in Honolulu. There were several prominent white men, whose faces were familiar, Consul Jones, old Mr. Reynolds, and old Mr. Pitman. James Jackson Jarves himself barely of age. brought his girl-bride fresh from America, to our house, and spent a fortnight in a very jolly honeymoon time. Jarves afterwards edited "The Polynesian," wrote Hawaiian History, and became prominent in the literature of Art. Mrs. Captain Dominis one afternoon made her appearance in a boat on the creek near our house, bringing her little son, and made us a very agreeable visit. The better class of whites in Honolulu in the thirties were wont to gather on Sunday mornings at the Seamen's Bethel, where Chaplain Diell held public worship. A number of half-white youth also attended, some of them pupils of Mr. Andrew Johnstone, who taught the Of course our in"Charity School." timacies were with the circle of Missionary families. Of these were the Binghams and Dr. Judd's genial household, the very kind and hospitable Chamberlains, the families of Messrs. E. O. Hall and Henry Dimond, who had charge of the Printing and Binding departments, and after 1837 the families of S. N. Castle, and A. F. Cooke. The Lowell Smiths have already been named. Besides these, the families of Rev. Ephraim Clark and Rev. Reuben Tinker were intermittently resident in Honolulu. Altogether it was a large circle of warmhearted and enthusiastic missionaries, bound together by the warmest of united activity and purpose. Of this mission circle, Mr. and Mrs. Bingham held a certain leadership, by virtue of longer experience, and of some superiority of intellect and capacity. All looked up to Mr. Bingham, as the strongest man of the Mission, and a leader. He possessed much calmness and courtesy of manner. The highest testimony to the mental and moral qualities of Mr. and Mrs. B. was in the immense personal influence which they acquired over the minds and hearts of the leading royal chiefs. This ascendancy made him extremely obnoxious to the majority of the foreigners, who detested moral restrictions. As a child I always held him in high honor and regard, with much liking, mingled with a little awe. There was another missionary couple on Oahu, whom we often met, and of whom I have the pleasantest memories, the Rev. B. W. Parker and wife of Kaneohe. Mrs. Parker, now in her nineties, is the only white survivor of the adult residents of Honolulu in 1836, when we came here. My father was of habitually even temper. One of the very few occasions when I ever saw him betray angry excitement, was in 1836, when we saw passing opposite our house at Ewa on the public road one morning, a company of perhaps forty Catholic natives, who were being led over from Waianae to Honolulu under guard, to receive at the capital sentence to labor on the roads for their crime of worshipping images, contrary to the royal statutes. The good missionary was grieved to the heart, and deeply roused, to see men and women in his parish suffering ignominious punishment for the practice of their religion, even though he believed them to be sadly misguided. He immediately mounted his horse and rode to Honolulu to expostulate with Kinau and Kekuanaoa. His remonstrances, however, were ineffectual. The native rulers had adopted a determined policy of suppressing by force what they deemed to be real idol-worship, forbidden in the second Commandment. I cannot personally testify that all the Protestant missionaries were equally opposed to that persecuting policy, although I suppose that they were so. This arbitrary course of the chiefs was put to an end in the following year by the visit of a French war-ship. Infant Mortality of Hawaiians. Not only is the birth-rate among the native Hawaiians very low, but their death rate is extremely large, and especially so among their infants. Recent statistics show the death rate of Hawaiian infants in Honolulu to be nearly three-fifths of all infant deaths in the city, although Hawaiians do not furnish one-third of the births. This evil condition is no doubt due in considerable degree to the impaired constitution of these infants from inherited disease, and the disorderly lives of many of the parents. It is also owing to improper food. It is common to see natives feeding young babes on sweet potatoe, poi and other food unfit for their tender condition, The enfeebled mothers are very �98 THE FRIEND. commonly incapable of supplying the natural nutriment. Many lives of such infants have been saved by benevolent white neighbors giving tltcm cow's milk, suitably prepared. The outlook does not appear bright for arresting the decimation of the Hawaiian race, winch has gone on uninterruptedly for 120 years. 'The chief existing obstacle to its arrest is the fact that males in Hawaii outnumber females by one hundred per cent, from which the casy-natured natives are the chief sufferers./The only antidote is in whatever elevates ancl strengthens the moral condition of the native females. 'The best work is done by Christian 'Training schools for the girls. New Punahou Preparatory Building. It is announced that Oahu College is about to erect for its Preparatory Department a new building on the College grounds opposite to Pauahi Hall. It will tie built of concrete, two stories high with basement, i.J4 feet frontage by 82 feet depth. Besides the completest supply of rooms and offices for all needs, there will In on each nf the first and second floors four large class-rooms, eight in all, of >j by 45 feet. An auditorium of 50 by j\ feet will be on the second floor with seating capacity for over 600 persons. The property hitherto occupied in town at the head of Richards street will be disposed of at very large advance, also the Miller property beyond the former, which was bought for a new building. The great advance in land values in the center of the city helps to furnish means for the new building. It is only needful to continue and maintain the high missionary and evangelical character of Punahou in the past, in order to secure the Divine blessing upon the College, and render it more and more a powerful center of Christian light and soul-healing in this mid-Pacific.

Why the County Bill Failed. The history of the failure of the pet measure of the "Home Ruler" majority is given in the "Hawaiian Star" substantially as follow The first crude bill, which was the result of over a month's caucusing of the Home Rulers previous to the session, proved to be a hopeless compilation. A new bill was substituted, and several weeks hard work done on putting it in shape, chiefly by white Republican members. "When the last section was reached it was discovered that several sections were omitted or imperfect. There was no general provision for elections under the act, the disposition of moneys collected by the county treasurers was not provided for and there were other acknowledged defects. With the idea of saving a day which would have been required for further amendments in the house, the representatives decided to send the bill to the senate as it was, leaving to the Upper house the task of amending. "First and second reading in the senate were 'by title.' ()n third reading it was proposed to read the bill through according to custom, but the reading did not s: progress beyond section two of chapter one. When this section was read Cecil With the many benefits secured by An- Brawn objected to Waimea as county nexation, some evils come to this new seat of Lunalilo county. There was Territory of Hawaii. Doubtless the wrangle of the usual senate kind, and the Judge Alfred S. Hartwell. Mr. Hartwell has for many years occupied an eminent position as the "Nestor" of the Hawaiian Bar. He nobly earned in the Civil war the title of Brigadier(ieneral. Coming to Honolulu about thirty-five years ago, he served some years on the Supreme Bench, and later as Attorney-General. He has always led the Bar as a legal expert and reliable counsellor, has educated in his office several of our ablest lawyers, and has always borne an unspotted reputation in public and private life. Several of his daughters have families. His position, socially and publicly, is of the highest. This eminent and excellent citizen was the other day summarily sentenced to imorisonment for thirty days for "contempt" by the Judge of the First Circuit Court, together with his two younger associate counsels. The Friend abstains from expressing any opinion as to the merits of the charge of contempt. But we do contend that such a person as General Hartwell should have been exempt from such ignominious treatment. From a young judge to his superior, a dignified reprimand should have sufficed, or at the most, a fine. The sentence of imprison>Hiit was indecent and cruel.

But �Vol. 59, No. 6.] whatever the technical merits of the case, say emphatically that Mr. Cooper 111 that act, showed himself to be possessed of the instincts of a gentleman, and would have indicated the contrary had he not issued that pardon. WC Maui News on Legislature. The editor of the Maui News, after n visit to Honolulu, wrote as fol- recent lows : "An hour spent in the senate chamber gives one who is familiar with such matters a very clear conception of the real trouble which the present legislature has had to encounter, and it is a solemn truth that there is more need for pity than blame. The Home Rulers arc trying to do their duty, and their earnest but fruitless efforts are pathetic almost to tears. 'The truth is that they do not know either what or how to do, and it is unfortunate for them and for the people of the Islands they were elected." The blame is with Congress, who blindly gave the undeveloped and childish masses of the llawaiians unqualified suffrage, instead of the limited suffrage which was all that had previously been permitted them. 'The natives are to be pitied, still more this unfortunate 'Territory which has fallen into the hands of such incompetents. 'The former Kings never permitted the childish masses any considerable voice in the government. The chief voice was reserved for the Nobles, appointed by the 'The revolution of 1887 Sovereign. changed the Nobles to a Senate, elected by voters of the moderate income of $6 o. Congress blindly threw overboard this necessary and wholesome limitation. Hence the present gabbling and fum- bling. Record of Events.

Smith, editor of the Advertiser, is indicted by the Grand Jury for perjury. His arrest follows and bail is fixed at $5,000. His offense consists in testifying one day that he knows the name of a corporation which was asked by legislators for money, and the next day denying that he knows of any such corporation. Court and jury believe that he is seeking to shield a prominent corporation in Honolulu. Subsequent developments exonerate the accused Smith. 22nd.—The Attorney-General concludes his defense and gets scored by the Judge for certain portions of his address.

A man in an active pastorate feels the need of a carriage—he has the offer of a brake at a low figure, $20 would secure it for him. It would be a great kindness for him to be aided to that amount and the money would be well spent by the giver. A new house of worship has been built at Puuloa, wdiere about forty natives reside. Being too far from other centers they have concluded to have a meeting house of their own. They will be under the pastoral care of Mr. Kzcra. who will give them occasional visits, meantime they will conduct their own meetings. A dedicatory service was held there Sunday, the 12th of May. At this time the debt of $173 on the building, was paid. Maui Association at Keanae. To the lover of scenery and good air Keanae is one of the most fascinating spots he can visit. It is not a populous region, for most of the country is given over to wildness and deep vallies that support luxurious forest-growths. The northern rim of Haleakala catches the clouds and turns them hack upon this region of venilure and makes it perpetual. It is a splendid watershed, deluged with frequent rainfalls, yet its soil is not scarred or washed away. Millions upon millions of gallons—and at times we might say, hogsheads—of water are hourly precipitated into the sea. After each cloudburst scores of waterfalls can lie seen along the Steep front of the high plateau. It is here that the I'aia and Haiku plantations and the Hawaiian Commercial (and Kihei will also in time) find an assured and never failing supply of ahundant water—more and more of it we are told is being diverted each year to plantation uses. The ditching and fluming now having reached nearly 25 miles inland from the heart of Sprcckclsville. Most of the people live on a tongue of land that thrusts itself out from the high, precipitous shore into the wind-swept ocean—a sort of repetition of Kalaupapa 011 a small scale. This tongue of land is given over mainly to the cultivation of rice. When we first visited it twelve years ago it was a taro field. Very soon after we noted the encroachments of the Chinaman and his rice. Kcanae has a narrow carriage road built at considerable expense, which runs from the landing inland towards the upper Nahiku region for about four miles, and terminates at the hanks of the Wailua river. We are told that about three more miles of roadway would connect it with the new Nahiku and liana road, but there is no appropriation for it. The people at Keanae have done some very necessary repairs on the interior of their Church. A new flooring has been laid, but much yet remains to be done to the roof to make it safe, the outer side of the walls should also be plastered. The meeting of the S. S. Association began Saturday, but Sunday was the great day, there being a Sunday School concert in the morning and a protracted meeting in the afternoon—in all about 5 hours of service. The Association of the Churches sat Monday and Tuesday, all but two of the pastors being present. The most important matters brought up were three cases of discipline. Messrs. Kawaliamae and Kapa, for entering the fellowship of the Hoomana Xaauao (Kek-ipi's). and Rev. J. K. losepa for adultery. The two brethren first named were received back into the fellowship after some pretty strong statements on their part of their mistake and of their utter repudiation of Kekipi and all his ways. The last named charge, that against Rev. J. K. losepa, was based on a confession made by him to his own pastor and board of deacons, and he was dropped from the ministry. It is a great grief to us to find 101 such charges made against a man of long-standing influence in the ministry, hut it is a comfort to know that we arcso well supported in our endeavors to keep the ministry pure. In the present case of discipline the ayes and nays were taken, and all but two voted to support the motion for dismissal from the ministry. The man is of high-standing, long a minister, then a sheriff and finally a judge—a man who has taken a firm stand against bribery and corruption in politics—to see such a man fall in his home-life is sad indeed. A prayer and conference meeting held Wednesday evening was largely attended. Indeed the people of Keanae were so much pleased with the effect of the meetings, that they have asked the association to meet there again next .November. "Fathers and Brethren; I come before you to make my confession that I was once of your number and that I left you for another fold. Educated together with some of you at the same theological school, I wished for further light and sought it elsewhere, but I did not find it. "I declare before you now that I come back to you more than ever convinced of the truth of the old teaching. • As for this new teaching (Hoomana Naauao), 1 repudiate it; it is not biblical, it is not spiritual, it cannot enlighten—its assumptions are false. So I ask you to forgive me my error and receive me back again into your fellowship."—Kawahamae at the Keanae meeting. Social Settlement at Wailuku. On visiting Wailuku we were much impressed with the changes we saw. Some fine new residences have been built, and building lots are being opened up. .Among other things, there is a new hotel. What impressed us more than any thing else, was the new social settlement, at the head uf which is Miss N. J. Malone, and to whose ability and energy, more than to any one else, its conception and establishment is due. The following is her statement: "The Directors of the Wailuku plantation have given one and a half acres of land to the Hawaiian Hoard for general religious and educational purposes and also pledge $50 per month towards the support of the Kindergarten. The Hawaiian Hoard pays the salary of the settlement worker. Two good workers, Mrs. E. A. Knowlton and Miss M. Huntington have been secured. The Kindergarten has an enrollment of 52. The reading room is open day and evening. There is industrial work for the girls in the club-room afternoons. Evenings— Sunday, English Service; Monday, Civil �102 THE FRIEND. I June, 1901.

Government; I �a year, of about two weeks at an island, and the third tour in the A. B. C. F. M. steamer. In regard to supplying the schools at Kusaie with scholars and taking out new teachers, only a steamer and tours by both the Training and Girls' schools will ever be satisfactory. To try to do a little in the "Hiram Bingham" as we did in 1893 and again in 1900, is inconvenient, to say the least. In regard to the Commissioner's laws as a school-master—he has his gallows ready, and his boldness to administer punishment to all transgressors, shows somewhat his faith in his laws. He wrote to Tibwerc in the sand with his cane, thus—two holes, one as Earth, and one as Heaven. The roads of both Protestants and Catholics he represents as curved lines, hut his road is a straight line. Paul says, when faith is come, we arc no longer under a school-master. Oh that we may not chafe at good laws, although enforced by a Jehu. In regard to Pastors. Only four of our islands now have native pastors, and the fifth, a Hawaiian, soon to take a change. The other six islands must be supplied, and then on all the islands we need to have more pastors and smaller fields. My plan in consultation with Mr. Channon, was to give our oldest Catcchists a year at Kusaie, then send out and ordain. The years have passed by, and now shall I take Rev. Teraoi and do as Paul and Barnabas did a few weeks or months after first preaching the Gospel, ordain elders for the churches? In regard to schools; now if only children can attend the schools, it will change the work of our Catechists. Formerly they were much with the people in school, and work, and touring, all helping on the evangelistic work by their schools and scholars. Now I think some of the Catechists must develop more into Evangelists and Pastors; and tne to the more secular work of school-teachers. Our pay-roll this year with the new Catechists will be about $1,200. 39 assisted in all. Our collections must increase, or we must turn some over to the native governments as teachers to sup- - port. 103 THE FRIEND.
