Thedelayed owing to the failure of the been 'I• plate for the new cover to arrive on ( time. In the death of Hon. Joseph B. Ather- ton, which occurred at half-past nine on the evening of April 7th, the community and the Islands lose a citizen of the besi type. We shall (rive a full account of his life and work in our next issue. We have been fortunate during the past few weeks in having among us an unusual number of reoresentative Christian people from the East. Dr. and Mrs. Daniels have been especially welcomed by our people, and with them Mr. and Mrs. Henry E. Cobb and daughters of Newton, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Miner of Boston: Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Harbison of Alleghany, Pa. These people have seen much of the various forms of Christian and benevolent work done here and have given aid and encouragement by their presence and words. One exgentlemen, to our certain pressed his interest in our work by a substantial gift to the Hawaiian Board. We wish them, one and all, God-speed as they return to their own.homes. Our readers will notice some changes in matter and arrangement in the present number of The Friend. A full page instead of a half page is devoted to the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, the departments given for the past year to "Our Island Homes" and "The Christian Life" are discontinued. Instead of the latter, a page will be devoted to the discussion from month to month of practical moral and relieious question or questions of a more scientific or secular nature having a moral and religious bearing. The Record of Events is followed by a column or two of comment on current topics, by Mr. W. L. Whitney. We hope this feature may be continued. Lastly, we have given- a little sjace to If these Missionary Intelligence. changes meet with the approval of the board of editors, they will be continued, while we shall all the time try to give as full an account as possible of the doings of our churches, and the missions under the Hawaiian Board. Since the following three articles have been in type, the bill for the regulation of the liquor traffic in these Islands as proposed by the liquor men has passed the Senate with some modifications. Petitions have also been received and placed on file, asking for a reconsideration of the Local Option Bfll. • ■ ._ ... One month ago we passed a few mild Option Bill strictures upon the argument for the fa.rness of the proposed Local Option liquor bill, as viewed from the standpoint of those who suffer from the vice of drunkenness, either in themselves or their friends; but, at the same time, admitting that under the present circumstances, it was probably the best measure that could be suggested. Certainly whatever might have been said of its fairness from an ethical point of view, as a legislative measure, it 'was eminently reasonable. No man who had the slightest degree of candor of mind could offer any objection to it on this ground. This bill lias been before the Senate, and, notwithstanding its reasonable character, has been laid on the table, which, we presume, is equivalent to its rejection. While it woul I have been interesting to have seen the experiment of local option tried, and while we believe in giving a hearty support to any measure that becomes a law for even a partial * restriction of the liquor business, we are not disposed 10 mourn greatly over this defeat, if such it should prove to be, because it would reveal as nothing else can the real character and disposition of those who constitute the liquor element in these Islands. It ought to be perfectly plain vo everyone, even now; that fairness or reasonableness or regard for the wishes or rights of the community are elements that do not enter into the consideration of the liquor men, when these came between them and the accomplishment of their ends. With the attainment of theseendi, no principle of honor, justice or righteousness can be allowed to interfere. It is this character of the liquor elemen: that has been unmasked by the recent action of the Senate. It is a significant fact that in the final vote upon the question, five white men supported the bill and two white men, with the solid native vote opposed and defeated it. This reveals a situation which the liquor men doubtless feel that they are competent to maintain, and, so, to carry through any measure that will be suited to their purposes. The progress of the other bills which are before the Senate for the promotion of the:r business, tends to confirm this statement. These bills are receiving no check, but are steadily advancing toward their finai passage. This' fact, with the defeat of the Local Option bill, makes perfectly clear the character and intentions of the liquor party, as well as the conditions which we may expect to see here in the near future unless means can be found to overcome the influences now strongly prevailing. The Local No. 4 The only argument that appears to have been orTerecl against the Local Option bill was that it would keep tourists away. The converse of this is also one of the stock arguments in favor of a practically unlimited sale of intoxicating drink. The tourist, we are told, is a man who wants to drink. If he cannot get what he wants, he will not come here, and the country will iut get his money, which, the liquor men would like to have us believe, is on,e of the essential elements in our existence. The argument is not even plausible. It amounts to saying that we need for our welfare the money of a certain class of people, many of whom are dissipated in their habits. In order to get this money we must furnish the means and opportunity for this dissipation or this class of people will not come. In other words in order to have prosperity, we must establish in our midst, places for the sale of intoxicating driks, which, as every one knows, tend to debauch the people and undermine all the foundations on which prosperity rests. The argument contains an evident self-contradiction. Its weakness is easily seen also from other points of view. In the first place, we may ask who gets the tourist's money? It goes without saying that the hotels get the most of it, but as the hotels are all in the liquor business, and depend largely on their sales of liquor for support, it i * just as evident that the liquor men are the ones who profit most largely by tourist travel. Consequently they want tourists to come here, not because they have any interest in the welfare and advancement of the Islands, but because they want an ad ditional source ofrevenue for themselves. Between the presence of tourists and the absence of the rumseller, as conditions of prosperity, there can be but little comparison. If the money that is now spent for intoxicating drink by the people of these Islands, was spent in paying for homes, decent clothes, good food and such things as go to build up character and respectability, and which money would be spent among our own legitimate tradesmen, the people, as a whole, would enfby a genuine prosperity, even if there was never another tourist landed here.. The tourist argument, as advanced by the Hquor men, is not only fallacious, U has even a worse character. It is a bid for the coming here of a class of people whose presence is demoralizing and always to be deprecated. They are the class that seek out the hula girls, and have a keen scent for such places generally. A flagrant instance of this kind has just been told to us on good authority. It is this class of tourists only to Tourists and Liquor • �4 THE FRIEND whom the inducements held out by th_ possibilities of the future.

Very little of their money is likely to get into the channels of ttade suppression of these evils. Few people are perhaps aware that Congress already passed laws that are Viow has en forced, which contain the principle and germ of absolute prohibition. We give a quotation on this point from Rev. Wilbur Crafts, in The Advance, on the implications of the Anti-canteen law. Ile says: "I-'ew people have realized the vast significance ol this action of Congress. It was a declaration that the sale of beer and light wines by the government is bad for health and bad for order in the Army, and, as General Carlin says, 'if bad for health and bad for order in the army, bad everywhere.' It is this universal implication of this action that has 10 thoroughly aroused the brewers for the vain fight they have made to recover this breastwork in the present Congress, ihey see more clearly than many busy Christians have seen, that as the acorn includes the oak, this action involves, if legally carried out, universal prohibition." We see from these suggestions that the temperance workers here have scarcely begun to use the means at their disposal for overcoming the opposition to temperance measures. As events are shaping themselves at present, alCChristian and temperance people who belong to tiiesc Islands, will soon be driven to ventilate the facts, as a matter of common honesty, before they can invite people from other lands to come and take up their lot among us. PRINCE ALBERT KUNUIAKEA The passing away of this Hawaiian nobleman is a notable event, in the fact that with him disappears the last individual of the royal line of Kamehameha, and we believe also the last descendant of the famous John Young. Althougi as Christian ethics reckon it, not a legitimate son of Kamehameha 111, according to old Hawaiian custom Albert was sufficiently such to have been in the line of succession. He was from birth adopted by that king and brought up in the Royal family, which was not a favorable environment for the healthy development ff character. Albert was a man of amiable, well-intentioned nature, intelligent, gracious and courteous in manner, and markedly endowed with the peculiarly graceful and stately dignity of Hawaiian royalty. I.i the failure of legitimate descendants of Kamehameha after Lunalilo, Kunuiakea might have heen a formidable competitor against Kalakaua for election by the Legislature to the throne, but for the 'evelonment of too conspicuous evidences of unfitness for such responsibility. This unfortunate prince has been a pathetic figure of gracious qualities combined with such fatal weakness as hopelessly disqualified him for position in accord with the exalted rank of whicn he was deeply and proudly conscious. He was thus unhappily typical of too many �5 THE FRcEND of his Hawaiian kindred, like their prince, an amiable and well inclined people, nevertheless disabled and wasting away for lack of physical and moral fibre. One deeply sorrows for him and for them, although their condition may byno means be counted hopeless. Whai these native people most lack is the existence among them of a pure and wi.se motherhood to mould their tender yeais towards high and sturdy character. We believe that genuine and valuable progress is making in that direction, especially through our Ciirls* Seminarie*. Will it avail to invigorate and save the race? A long procession of sorrowing Hawaiians and of mourning friends of the old native royalty escorted this last sci.in of the chief kingly line to the tomb of his fathers. There his body will rest with those of many noted and conspicuous kings and chiefs of past days. Amid the tumult of the vast Pacific commerce will abide that memorial of a proud and noble race of chiefs. S. E. B. REV. CHARLES H. DANIELS, D.D. The people of missionary antecedents in these Islands arc enjoying a visit just now from Dr. Charles H. Daniels an I wife of Newton, Mass. Dr. Daniels U the Secretary of the Home Department of the American Board, with his office 'n Boston, and is now, after fifteen years of service, enjoying a well-earned vacation of several months. Dr. and Mrs. Daniels are both New England people. He was born in Lyme, New Hampshire, but grew up in Worcester, Mass. He is a graduate of Amherst College and of Union Theological Seminary. Previous to becoming a secretary of the American Board he held pastorates in Montague. Mass.; Cincinnati, Ohio, and Portland, Maine. In the latter place he ministered to the church over which Edward Payson was once the pastor. In 1888, Dr. Daniels became district secretary of the American Board, with his office in New York City, and having as his field, the Middle States, Connecticut, Ohio and such Southern States as contained Congregational Churches. After five years of service in this capacity, and on the retirement of Dr. E. K. Alden. Secretary of the Home Department of the Board, Dr. Daniels was chosen as his successor. In this position h : s work lies mainly in two directions— presenting the work and needs of the Board before the churches, and conducting the correspondence with candidates for appointment to foreign missionary service and recommending such as are found .satisfactory to the Prudential Committee. preDr. trip, sentr and thei On Mrs. Daniels have spent a month in Mexico, Our good Heavenly Father did njt some time in Southern California, and on intend this to be so.

As far as making money is concerned, 1 will venture the opinion, and a sincere one too, that the owners of the paper wih lay up more money from a six-day iss'ie than from a seven day issue. Even inorganic iron and steel need rest from perpetual vibration. As to the influence upon readers, the man needs something Sunday morning. Let him reserve his zest, to join the worshippers in God's house, to which the Sunday paper, is, I am constrained to say, an enemy. Let him in the afternoon either go forth to a quiet walk f-r ride or read a higher class literature. That of the paper in question is secondclass, in fiction, in science, in art: the caricatures of the divine human form, so frequent in the thirty page, garish iieaps of paper are little short of degrading, yea blasphemous. And good things are withheld from the papers for the reason that the Sunday number would probably receive them all. This matter should stand on its own basis. It need not be mixed up in discussion with the city's necessities in the way of street cars and like needs oi our modern life. As to the news that gets absorbed into the Sunday paper we can read it on Monday if we do not wish to lose it. Curtis J. Lyons. �THE FRIEND 6 CANOEING FROM LAHAINA Beautiful for situation and royal in its wealth of surrounding Islands, Lahaina is alone in the world in the possession of scenic and climatic features which have always endeared it to the race of native chiefs, and to many others, as well, who can afford to live without work. The dominant feature is its mountain backing Lahaina is a village in the middle of a narrow seashore plain fifteen miles long, and from any point on this seashore, the eye can follow up the mountain ridges, broad at the base and of easy rise at first, but ever narrowing, until they cluster into a ragged crown, six thousand feet above the ocean, yet not eight miles away! This mountain barrier shuts off the trade wind, and Lahaina roadstead is as smooth as the proverbial millpond, though a brief time may bring the sailor to a wind-tossed portion of Neptune's domain of a very different quality. Four channels lead into this inland sea. from the north, from the west, from the south, and from the southeast, and each has its own significant name. The islands which make these channels are seen most comprehensively from the hill back of the town— Molokai on the right, stretching westward; Lanai directly in front, blocking the ocean on the southwest; and Kahoolawe, long and low, on the left, running southwestward. Under the morning sunshine this water is so clear that I doubt if even the "Vesuvian bay" depths is worthy of more praise. No slimy patches are here, but clean, white sand with ground of darker coral rock, an ideal holding for ships in five to twenty fathom water; and air for in color—Nature has here made liquid into it ages, by the cubic mile, and pressed the blue of forty tropic skies! Nor is the sight alone gratified. When a Honolulu steamer arrives, whether it be at midnight or at early dawn, and the tumbling of Kaiwi channel is left far behind, and anchor is dropped, there comes to the traveler a sense of perfect peace —is not this one of the senses?— and from the cloudless mountain which dark-to ens the starlit sky like a great wave ready break, comes the gentle land breeze like a refreshing bath; and with the breeze, the fragrance of sugar cane fields, and a delicate bint of tomato gardens and ripe musk melons; and for music, the perpetual booming of the surf, a giant's lullaby. Lahaina was the fourth station occupied by American missionaries. Messrs. Stewart and Richards being assigned to it by the general vote. Twenty years after that time, there were nine mission families at the stations which grouped about Lahaina and fifteen at the stations on the other three islands. The work was vastly increased: the awakened nation hung upon the skirts of the teachers almost a dead weight; it was a serious problem with these teachers how to preserve their own vigor and to keep their work everlastingly moving, and the number of broken lives among them seemed to show that the two needs could not be harmonized. The practice and of itinerating, or exchanging stations work periodically, was an alleviation, though not all shared in this plan; the annual gathering at Honolulu brightened the spirits of all who thus met brethren and sisters, but the going and coming in the schooners of those or canopied stretcher, or even the plebeian ox-cart would be called into requisition; but as most places could be reached by sea, what could be more natural than to use the facile canoe and a stalwart crew, which could be had at short notice by "touching" the konohiki, or head man of the place. In 1843 and thereabout, the writer was a junior member of his father's family, then living at Lahainaluna, and a happy participant in some of these visits by canoe. These visits were one or more in each direction to Molokai, and to Wailuku and Makawao via Maalaca Bay—and they were crowded with pleasurable incident of which memory retains only salient points and a general impression. As the voyage was to commence in the night, we made a general move to Lahaina late in the previous afternoon. My man, Kahananui. a High School hoy. first decorated his pony with sundry baskets and bundles assigned to him, then got himself into the saddle, and me behind him on the saddle blanket. I gave no care to the rest of the family, but in some fashion we formed a caval- cade ami crawled down the hill through two miles of dusty road to the sea. then, turning to the left, were in Dr. Baldwin's yard, or in Mr. Richards' yard, next adjoining. Now began the exhilaration of travel, in new children to play with, new books to look at, new trees to climb; for each of the mission houses had a magnificent spreading Icon tree in its front yard, and numerous kukuis made a shady grove. We children were put to bed on shakedowns on the upper front veranda, and went to sleep soothed by the twittering of cocoanut leaves and the muffled monotone of the eternal surf. At three o'clock, by the stars, the light of a lantern and men's vocies in the yard below, with a subdued call, brought us to our feet, wide awake. Then was hurried dressing, and gathering up of portable property and a hasty lunch of dried beef and biscuits forced upon us by maternal providence, for the real center of excitement was across the road, where the canoe was to be launched, and oh—if we should be too late to see! If this particular occasion were a trip to Molokai, it was Hitchcock's double canoe that was in waiting, anil Mr. Hitchcock himself, always the personal conductor of such visits, was here and there among the buzzing crew, anil compelled obedience by his piercing voice. The Hawaiian's safe harbor for bis beloved canoe was beyond the upper edge of the land beach, out of reach by its adopted element. A small canoe would be picked up and carried down the slope, but a heavy one was treated to a slideway of rushes or grass, to prevent abrasion of its smooth bottom. A line of men on each side of each canoe of the pair took the word from their captain, a prolonged shout Ho ending with an explodcnt ('! when every bowed hack would straighten up. and the canoe would glide forward ten feet, then await a fresh hold and another encouraging shout; and so. by easy advances, the marriage of Ship and Sea came about. After that came the clattering of numerous paddles; the mast and furled sail were taken aboard; the small freight was stowed in the forward and after ends under deck, and boxes and bales around the sides of the central raised platform, all well lashed to place; the impedimenta of the travelers was bestowed in the sky cabin thus formed; and. last of all. days was an excruciating purgatory, too the travelers themselves, each on the broad, were earrietl until we wasteful of life and time to be undertaken bare back of a kanaka our except in dire need: but the interchange ol could find foothold and scramble up lo short visits, where nearness made them easy, perch. was common, and it cultivated the habit of Thus was the embarkation, about 4:.i0 a. in.: hospitality which lives in the country to this and while the canoe, after passing Black Rock, hugs the shore for the sake of smooth For these visits, when an inland trip was to water and speeds on under the impulse of a t : made, the "missionary horse," the mancle stiff bread-fruit breeze, as a dozen paddles may be called, let us unfold the points of interest in this remarkable craft. The waa kaulua, or double canoe, was of the class used in the "navy of invasion and warfare fifty years before. The artisans who built them followed faithfully an artistic ideal, which is wholly ignored in so-called models sold in these days. Some fish can be found of which, if supposed to be free from the surface irregularities of fins and gill covers and cleft horizontally from motinth to tail, cue lower half would be a good model for the universal canoe, but with the ends reversed; for the "entrance" of a canoe is long and the "run" short, and all the "lines" are "full." I have no measurements of Mr. Hitchcock's canoes, but offer the following estimates as Length, 45 feet; nrobably not far wrong. greatest depth. 3 feet; greatest width, 18 inches; distances between canoes, 9 feet: length of pola (lengthwise plank between the canoes,) 20 feet; platform, a temporary expansion of the pola, 8 by 10 feet, and 4 feet above the water; number of rowers in each canoe, six. Each canoe was dug out of a koa log that was without knot or flaw, shaped with perfect symmetry, smoothed with pumice stone and polished black with kukui nut lampblack ground in kukui oil and rubbed in. The moo, or gunwale, was a long stip as wide as the hand and stained yellow, one on each side of the canoe, giving strength and finish to the edges, the two coming together in a graceful, twisting curve, both forward and aft, and forming the upright terminal called manu. or bird. The narrow space at each end was covered by a long triangular deck board, called kupc; and these various parts were sewn together and lashed down to the canoe with cocoanut fiber sennit so artistically that very little of this rope work was visible. Strong but light, arching beams called iako. yoked the canoes, and these were lashed down to short cross pieces within the canoes, which were caught under projecting cleats of the koa wood. The pola was lashed to the highest Dart of these arched beams, and a further frame work of poles and boards made a platform for the accommodation of warriors, noncombatants or freight, as the case might be. We reached trade wind at daylight and changed our course to the left oblique to cross the channel The short mast was stepped in a bole near the forward end of the pola, and guyed in four directions and the mainsail was shaken out. It was not a large sail, but it pulled wonderfully in a free wind. The rear man in the port canoe was captain; the other rear man was lieutenant, and both steered when steering was necessary. The rate of paddling in a seaway was about sixteen strokes a minute. At frequent intervals the paddles were changed from side to side, and the captain gave the signal to change by two claps of his paddle against the canoe: thus, stroke 10. clap; stroke 11. clap; stroke 12, over; and twelve paddles at once glittered in the air and dipped again, and the rthythm was unbroken. This movement was generally executed with perfect precision and in the sunshine it was beautiful. Kaluaaha church was the land mark we steered for.—a white block on the horizon when first discerned, and alternately in sight and out of sight below the water. But we gradually "raised" it, and, according to accounts, it still stands. Kaluaaha landing is a channel through the reef, attributed to an outflow of fresh water. The sea swells make rollers in this channel, and as three consecutive rollers out of seven, or else four out of ten—authorities differ—are breakers, there is a call for wise alertness in the pilot in order to avoid discomfiture. According to Solomon, there is a time to lie, on your oars, as well as a time to pull for dear life. (Continued on Page It) �7 THE FRIEND. to equal the expense they cause the Territory.

TEMPERANCE ISSUES .... 11896-7 I .... ... .... .... - �8 THE FRIEND The Responsibility of Christian People for Public Morality It is not intended in the use of the above title to intimate that Christian people are the only ones who have such responsibility. Duty is not a matter that belongs to Church or sect alone: it pertains to all people alike, in proportion to their knowledge and power of performance. No one can claim exemption tithe general principle, much less, to the particular application of it in the maintenance of morality in the community ami nation to which lie belongs. The Savior, however, said to his disciples, "ye ate the salt of the earth." "ye arc the light of the world." These words stein to indicate that whatever might DC the duty of non-Christian people,'il was by Christians that the world would be saved, From the fact that they arc "the light of the world," and are as "a cit\ set on a hill." they occupy a peculiar vantage ground which invests them with a special responsibility toward their fellowmen around them. So far as these words reveal what that responsibility is, it would seem to be conveyed in the word "light." The Christian is first of all to shine. The first condition of morality is a clear perception-of the truth which underlies ir. This truth the Christian is to make dear in speech and life. It is his responsibility to place his lamp upon its lamp-stand and keep it burning with a clear Mill Steady flame. It is his peculiar business to sir that this is done. It is no part of his duty to put a shade over his lamp or to dim its radiance in order to make it easy for the bleared eye of the world to hear its light. The trouble is not with the light; it is with the eye. To one who has been shut up in a dark room for a long time, the light of the sun is at first painful, but the fault is not in the sun. it is in the weakened organ of vision. I.lit it should not on that account he withdrawn or covered up.. The lisrhl of the sun is what it needs, and a little exnosure will cure the defect. Ami so Ihe Christian should have confidence in his lamp. When he hears the World round about him crying out that he s an tihl fotrv. anil that his leaching is oh: of date, he need not he troubled—nay. he may even reioice. for this is a hopeful svmutnm.

The rations are good and everything is more orderly and pleasant (ban on the over-crowded Solace. There are about a hundred men aboard- coal- ' passers, firemen, machinists, engineers, seamen and signal bins, who arc apprentices. There are two electricians besides me.

We made the' trip from Honolulu to Guam in eleven ami one-fourth day-. The' first land sighted was Saipan, of the Padrone group, held by Germany and inhabited by ten Germans and l-'oo seiuisavages from some islands in the vicinity of Africa, who were' brought to Guam by the Spaniards ami deported by the Americans because of their filthy habits and general worthlcssncss. Saipan is a low lying island, barrel, almost treeless, with no harbor and somewhat larger than "l.anai. Guam is the only one of the group that is good for much and is the only one the Americans considered worth keeping. All the rest are held by Germany, hut they have no ships or furls to guard them. Guam is thirty miles long and perhaps fourteen wide. The north-west part is a plateau about 125 feel above' sea-levci ami is thickly wooded. Then conies a hilly piece of country, the upper half of the hills being barren, while the lowtr pails arc heavily wooded right down to the water's edge. CoCOattUtS anil bananas are the commonest fruits.

For freight, "cascos" are used: boats built of some kind of edose-graincd. heavy native wood, about ninety fe -t long ami twelve wide. There are bamboo awnings at each end as shelter for the crew, and bamboo foot ways along the sides to walk on. The how and stern are shaped canoe-fashion and painted in bright colors in all sorts of curious palterns. The liiini boatmen and fishermen use small canoes called "bancas" shaped much like Hawaiian canoes but with a bamboo outrigger on each sidi or else with none at all.

MARRIAGES plenty. ' Nearly everything has had its turn, from the sidewalks in front of the superintendent's house to the reason why the lepers are not catered to by Delmonico or Sherry, and vast amounts of time have been wasteel by our legislature in this amusement.

With a legislature, both parties of which are pledged to some measure which would put the Territory on a county basis, it seems surprising that an agreement cannot he reached regarding the form of the law.

Two of these provide for expenses, one for a (lag for the Territory, and three have to do with minor changes in our crimin tl law. Of investigations we have had a of vice. The dental bill looks towards a better protection of our citizens from a class of quacks who have come to us from the mainland where they swarm.

The bailiff law seems on a good way to be repealed. What a hue and cry was raised over that bill! Yet it has not worked such terrible wrongs after all. However, to put the calling of the juryas directly tinder the power of the judge as this law did, does not seem altogether wise, and the country can well stand a W. L. W. repeal of the law. ... Missionary Items ... Under the title, "Tne Educational Outloo< EducationCNrth hina in North China," Re. T. Biggin, M. A., discusses in the March number of The Chronicle of the London Misssionary Society, the advisability of uniting with' the American Board in the education of young men—sending the young men of his own Board's mission to the college of the American Board lit Tung Chow. Mr. Biggin's article is as follows: Now that the L. M. S. has decided not to participate in the large Educational Union for North China, we cannot hope to take more than a secondary place m education at best, and there is only one way that we here can see of securing even that—viz., by union with the American Board. The fundamental hometruth to grasp is this, that we cannot ourselves (except at a great outlay) educate ojr students efficiently—about that there is complete unanimity in North China—we have 11 not funds or men enough. Now, in the preswork, the want of educated helpers is keenly felt, and will be felt more and more acutely as time goes on, causing weakness in every department of work. Well, in this "Union" scheme the American Boa-: 1 offer us far more than we could expect then to do: they require no initial expenditure; our boys secure a first-class education at a cost about equal to that of the mediocre on;: they get now; they will compare as men witii those employed in other societies; our educational plan will be unified; and the Society'; work should in time be supplied with abc Chinese workers in most of its branches, though, at present, the medical training is not provided for. If this scheme is rejected, I do not see any prospect for my work here at all; it will remain a small school of boys of all ages and all stages of learning, inadequate for our needs, unable (because too a/eak) lo control the standard of entrance, and, in a. word— inefficient. The best boys will, of course, go elsewhere. T'ung Chun College will accommodate ijo Students. This next year they hope to add ent stage of our another building to contain large assembly rooms, class rooms, &c. The Academy—or, as we say, High School —is also to have separate buildings shortly, .but is at present part of the College. The grounds arc very extensive, the situation as healthy as can be desired. There is a good staff of teachers, and the men turned out -n the past have been reckoned the best in tlvs province. The fittings and apparatus are excellent, as also the arrangements for sleeping, food. &c. Our L. M. S. school at Peking has only a number of rooms that might be tolerated (alter improvements) as a wash-house or scullery at home. Of course the comparison is unfair, because we have no proper premises accommodated in now; but compare with cither of the plans sent home for our school, and you will see that so far as buildings go we are bound to remain far behind what the American Board provide at present, though this only represents about half of what their plans includ-. If we are behind in buildings we are not much better in other respects. They have college and school, we have a school (of thr-'C boys just now—reckoned as High School boys') they have four or five missionaries set apart fur teachinar. we have one (Dr.- Hart'i work is totally different).

Whitney, Pro.'. chapel was in charge of Mr. Henry Waterhouse. On the 2d of February, Mr. Henry Judd was engaged by the Standing Committee of Central Union Church to take charge of the work of the chapel until September. The work at Palama has been interfered with somewhat by the prevalence of the dengue fever, but, at the time of writing, it seems to be disappearing. The attendance keeps up eptite well at both the Sunday evening service and the Friday evening prayermeeting. On Sunday, March 22(1, the largest attendance for some time was present. The Sunday-school is continuing its good work and the average attendance is about eighty. Mr. Clifton Tracy is superintendent of the school.

Baltimore New York Washington Honolulu �13 THE FRIEND A full meeting and a generous contribution resulted from these appeals. After opening remarks by Mrs. Nash, who explained why such a gathering was called a "Thank-offering" meeting, the little basket went on its errand and returned overflowing with tiny envelopes. The announcement that nearly— or quite—one hundred dollars was in hand, or immediately to be in hand, created enthusiastic applause. It sounds much to this little struggling society. The present objects to which it pledges aid are the Hilo Free Kindergarten, the very valuable work near the Waiakea landings—a quarter sometimes called "Hilo slums,"—and also special work in their own tongue among the Japanese of that neighborhood. After the basket exercise, dainty little bouquets were passetl about, to each of which was attached an appropriate quotation, either Biblical or secular. Most of them were read aloud. Mrs. Hyde then offered a prayer of thanksgiving and of petition for blessing on the offering and the work. A short musical program followed and a pretty recitation, and the happy afternoon closed with a social tea. Over fifty ladies were present, which is more than treble the number of the society; and to their friendly lift the warm thanks of the membership are due. Also to Mrs. Nash, our new and efficient president, who proposed and carried through this plan to its successful end.

The Thursday evening entertainments have been sucessful as a rule, and the boys seem to appreciate what is being done for them. These entertainments are in two places —the basement of Kawaiahao church, and the Palama club, over the Brigade's training school oti King street, at the junction with Beretania street. Talks, stereopticon lecture', vocal and instrumental music have been provided by various ladies and gentlemen. The attendance at these clubs varies At the Palama club there is a good equipment of gymnasium apparatus, graphophone, electric lantern, etc. The industrial department is progressing nicely. The boys in the afternoon school make calabashes, hook-cases, tables, koa boxes, etc., at very reasonable rates.

THE MEETING AT PUNA The Spring meeting of the Hawaii Association, which was held with the church at I'ltula, Puna, was well attended by the people of the district. At each meeting there was a good audience of interested listeners. The usual numb.i of pastors and delegates being also present. On Sunday there was a largely attended Sunday-school exhibition, classes being present from as far away as Kamaili. ddic Association decided this year to change its accustomed moderator, and Rev. C. M. Kamakawiwoole was chosen. Perhaps the event of greatest interest was the resignation of Rev. L. K. Kalawe from the ministry. This closes a sad ministerial experience. Suspended from the ministry three years aeo for immoral conduct, Mr. Kalawe has continued his sin to this day. The result is a violated home, a divided church and a vitiated communal life. The coming of the Association to Puna was an evident benefit to all. Rev. Kamoku is retired from the care (Komike) of the churches of Puna and Rev. Kamatt, the juelge of the district, is put in his place. Mr. Kamoku's only charge now is the church of Olaa. There is a probability of Mr. O. Z. Waikalai's leaving the Puna district and the charge of the united churches of Kalapana and Opihikao. These churches were visited by Evangelist Timoteo and the Secretary, and special meetings were held with good results. Here is a district in need of a settled preacher, if one can only be found.
