able to enjoy the fruits of his past efforts

REV. OLIVER P. EMERSON.
It is with the deepest regret that we
the resignation of our brother who
has for fifteen, years past occupied the
office of Corresponding Secretary of the
Hawaiian Hoard, a very much longer
time than any other incumbent has held
that office. The members of the Board
anel its committees will greatly miss Mr.
Emerson's genial smile, as well as his
prudent and experienced counsel anel his
absorbing interest in the work of Christ's
Kingdom in Hawaii.
Mr. Emerson's resignation of the office
became consequent upon the severe measures for retrenchment of expense necessitated by the late financial depression in
Hawaii, and diminished receipts of our
Treasury, combined with the fact that at
this difficult juncture the American
Board finally withdrew the aid which it
had hitherto lent, throwing upon the Hawaiian Board the support of Mr. Emerson and some others.
It was in 1888, that at the earnest call
of our Board, after the death of the
former Secretary, Rev. A. O. Forbes,
Mr. Emerson resigned an important pastorate which he had occupied for seven
years in Peacedale, R. I. His work there
had been most successful, particularly
among the operatives of that manufacturing town, and his departure was attended

ALICE GORDON GULICK.

VV« are called to chronicle .the passing
away of one of the noblest and most successful missionary women of this age,
one whom we have learned to admire and
love, not only from report, but by brief

personal intercourse during two visits to
Honolulu in her husband's native land.
Mrs. Gulick was born in Boston, Aug.
Bth, 1847, the daughter of James M. Gordon, for sixteen years the treasurer of
the American Board. She was educated
at Mt. Holyoke, and for two years
teacher there. In Dec, 1871, she was
married to Rev. Wm. H. Gulick, and
went with him at once to Spain to open
the mission there. For thirty years they
conducted that work with ever growing
success amid severe obstacles. Their
center of action was San Sebastian, which
has grown into a great center of Protestant education and evangelization.

The most notable feature of that mission was Mrs. Gulick's great Institute
for the education of Spanish girls, which
with a corps of able assistants she concluded for thirty years, removing it at
the opening of the Spanish-American war
to the adjacent city of Biarritz in
in
France. So remarkable was the success
of that school, that latterly its graduates
repeatedly carried away the highest
prizes in examinations at the University
of Madrid. That work has culminated
in the establishment at Madrid upon an
excellent site of its own. of the International Institute for Girls, created chiefly
by Mrs. Gulick's persistent and devoted
personal efforts.
The noble founder did not survive to
witness the opening of the Institute this
autumn. After a summer in Switzerland
in failing health, she was taken to the
home of Lady Henry Somerset in London where she nassed away September
14th. The urgent necessities of the opening of the Institute dearest to her heart
had forbidden her husband to attend her
last days.
()ne has but to glance at the strong,
sweet, benignant features of the picture
of Mrs. Gulick to recognize there a most
remarkable personality. Those who knew
her have glorifieel her youthful vivacity
and enthusiasm, growing into spirituality
and consecration, with a power of purpose anil benevolent action which
Mrs.
wrought its wondrous result.
Gulick was the strong and successful
pioneer of Woman's Education in Spain.
With all the power of her loving and
open-hearted nature she identified herself from the first with Spain's repressed
mothers and daughters, and gave the
whole strength of her genial and forceful
life to their emancipation. She will always be remembered as the successful
leader in that great work. It was her
exhausting labor in procuring the means
for the Institute that shortened her life.
Mrs. Gulick's loving nature made her
a blessed minister of comfort at the close
of the Spanish war to the suffering Spanish prisoners at Portsmouth, and afterwards an angel of cheer and enthusiasm
to the crowd of teachers from Cuba who
were the guests of Harvard College. For
these tasks, both her knowledge of Spanish and her loving personal magnetism
eminently qualified her.
Our eleepest sympathies are with the
bereaved husband, who yet is blessed in
over thirty years companionship with so
rare and noble a soul. Together they
had lately passed through successive sore
and sudden bereavements of their two
noble sons, to whom the mother is now
restored in the home above. There many
saintly ones have greeted her, high in noS. E. B.
bility among them all.

SIXTY YEARS AGO.
The following extracts are taken from
the November issue of Tiik Friend of

1843:
(The

U. S. Corvette "Cyane" brings
George Brown, Commissioner from the
Government of the United States), "on
landing he was received by l'aki, and
other chiefs, and presented his credentials to her Excellency, the Premier, at
her own resilience." (At one o'clock
that clay the Commissioner is introduced
to the King—Kamehameha 111, and,
among other things, he says) "Allow me
to congratulate your Majesty upon the
interest taken in you and your country
by one of the most powerful anel free
nations of the earth, as evinceel by the
unanimous vote of its Representatives
that a diplomatic intercourse should be
opened with you. It must be a matter
of great satisfaction to your Majesty to
think, that while not a quarter of a cen,tury has elapsed since your country was
in a state of heathenism, such progress
has been maele in civilization and Christianity (Frank, wasn't it? and just a little condescending, too. One cannot help
noticing that Commissioner Brown distinguishes "civilization" and "Christianity" and well he might. Poor King
"Kaukeoli" was doing his best to ward
off some of our American, French and
English civilization, in the shape of liqours,—ineffectually too.) "Next to the
gratitude clue from you to the Almighty
Disposer of events, you owe under Him
to those who for the welfare of your people, left their friends and country to
teach them the blessing's of Christianity
and the arts (some arts, Ed.) of civilization" (It seems to be probable that neither Commissioner Rrown nor the King
were much accustomed to the word
"Damn" before the worel missionary,—
but we live in an age of progress)

England for the foisting of opium upon
unwilling China, doesn't it? This time
however, America and France were side

partners)

Hoik's this for an Epitaph!
"My grandmother was buried here,
My cousin Jane, and two uncles dear;
My father perished with mortification in
his thighs;
My sister dropped down dead in the
Minories,
But the reason why I am here, according
to my thinking,
Is owing to my good living anel hard

Therefore, good Christians, if you'd wish
to live long,
Beware of drinking brandy, gin or anything strong."

Shipping.
It is interesting to note the number of
vessels from abroad entering these ports
at that time. Between Sep. ioth and
Nov. ist, there were over sixty vessels
to arrive at Honolulu and thirty for Lahaina.
Examination shows that this number
is somewhat less than the usual quota for
the winter months, particularly at Lahaina, where the whalers congregated.
EXTRACTS FROM THE JOURNAL
OF REV. EPHRAIM W. CLARK,
A MEMBER OF THE SECOND
REINFORCEMENT OF MISSIONARIES
TO THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
March 29, 1828. Off Hawaii! Last
night as the wind blew almost a gale, and
the Captain supposed we were near land,
he shortened sail. This morning about
seven o'clock, Hawaii, to our no small
gratification, burst upon our view. Soon
after, we hatl a delightful prospect of
Mauna Kea. It raised its snow-white
summit far above the clouds. We are
now directing our course towards Oahu,
with Hawaii and Maui in full view.
March 30th. Sabbath. Through the
good providence of God we have arrived
off the harbor of Honolulu. Soon after
our afternoon worship we hove to and a
boat came to us from a ship laying at
anchor. We have learned to our no
small satisfaction that the missionaries
now at Honolulu, are all well. Our feelings on approaching the spot to which
we have been anxiously looicing forward for five long months, can be better
imagined than described.
Nothing can exceed the wildness of
the scenery which Oahu presents as now

seen from the ship. Among these moun- arrival.
tains and vallies we expect to spend our lation:

days in guiding souls to Jesus. We hope
soon to greet some of the beloved missionaries, and rejoice and praise God with
them on our safe arrival.
March 31st. We have at length arrived safely at our long desired haven. Soon
after we anchored last evening, we directed a line to Mr. Bingham, informing
him of our arrival. Before dark, Messrs.
Bingham, Goodrich, and Chamberlain
came out to the Parthian and bid us a
joyful welcome. The interview seemed
more like the meeting of long absent
friends than entire strangers, immediately on entering the cabin, Mr. Bingham
exclaimed, "The Lord has been better to
us than our fears." The next day Mr.
Goodrich came on board to assist us in
preparing to land. About eleven o'clock,
most of us with part of our effects, landed on the beach about half a mile from
the mission house, where we were met
by Mr. Bingham anel Mr. Hunnewell.
The beach was so thronged by natives
eager to shake hands with the new missionaries, we could hardly press our way
through them.
Aloha, Aloha, resounded from a thousand mouths. ()n our way to Mr. Bingham's, we called on Kaahumanu, (the
Queen Regent) and were severally in-a
troduced to her. She received us with
smiling countenance, and said she was
much rejoiced on account of our arrival.
She accompanied us to Mr. Bingham's
where we met several other chiefs. We
then united in offering to God a tribute
of thanks for our safe arrival, and our
supplications for the continuance of His
blessing upon this favored mission.
April 2nd. When we arrived, Boki,
(the Governor of Oahu) was absent. He
returned today, and soon informed Mr.
Bingham, that he should be happy to
meet the new missionaries. We immediately paid him our respects at the house
of Kekuanaoa the commander of the
standing army. Boki and the General
met us a little distance from the door
and politely escorted us into the house.
We were then introduced to Madam
Boki, Nahienaena, sister of Kauikeaouli
the young King, and several other chiefs.
After we were seated, Boki handed
Mr. Bingham a line containing an expression of his feelings on our arrival.
The following is a literal translation,
"Love to you ye missionaries who have
now come hither to this place. I am
made joyful by you on account of your
arrival here. It is God doubtless that
has caused you and us to meet together
just now. My heart is sorry that J was
residing in another place. Na Boki."
After Boki's communication was read
and translated, Kaahumanu presented in
writing her views and feelings on our

The following is a literal trans-

"Kind affection for you all, ye missionaries all, the company of kindred beloved. This is my sentiment, the love
and great joy of my heart towards God,
on account of His sending you hither to
help us, that you and we may dwell together in the shade of His salvation, and
in His name that we anel you may labor
affectionately for Him. Joy is mine and
great rejoicing towards you all on account of His again
to support us here.

sending you hither
My heart thanks
Gotl for our being now blessed by His
causing us now personally to meet together. Good will to you anel us all. May
our souls be saved by Jesus Christ. That
is the finishing of the thought.
"Elizabeth Kaahumanu."
These letters were written entirely Ey.
themselves. After they were read and
replied to, a large and elegant Bible
which we brought was presented to Boki
and another to Kaahumanu; also to Kaahumanu, an engraving of the Lord's
Supper. Boki wished to know if the
Bible contained the whole of the Word
of God, and how long it would take to
translate it all into the native language.
After this interview we all repaired to
the chapel to attend a stated service in
the native language. There were a thousand or more attentive hearers present.
It was a sight truly delightful to the
heart of a Christian.
At the close of the service two couple
neatly dressed were united in marriage.
Boki accompanied the missionaries to
Mr. Bingham's, and took tea with them.
(To be continued.)
CHANGES IN CHINESE CIVILIZATION.
(A part of an address before the Honolulu Ministerial Union, Oct. 18, by
the Rev. W. D. Westervelt.)
A student of Chinese affairs must recognize the dawn of great changes. Day
rapidly follows dawn, and the changes
are historical while we are looking for
them in prophecy. This is very greatly
true in China. While we read of superstitious China fearing disturbance of ancestors by the puffing of steamers and
the song of winds along telegraph wires,
the Chinese themselves organize and control the China merchant steamship line
which sends a host of steamers of all
sizes throughout all the waters ways of
the empire without any regard to ancestors. Telegraph lines are stretched from
province to province, sometimes operated
by Chinese themselves. Far inland we
see the Chinaman on a bicycle outrunning
the ancestral ghosts. Railroads are projected and in some places are under operation. A cross country railroad is being

"But," the friend continued, "there is

The secontl incident is brought out by

Lincoln manifestetl his interest in saving
boys:
"A large company of people bail gathered to hear the famous young lawyer.
The meeting was helel out of doors, uneler the shade of the trees, and after an
earnest plea for total abstinence from the
use of intoxicating beverages, Mr. Lincoln proeluced a paper upon which the
feillowing pleelge was printed as a heaeling:
' 'Whereas, the use of alcoholic liquors
as a beverage is productive of pauperism,
degradation and crime, and believing it
is our duty to discourage that which proeluces more evil than gootl, we therefore
pledge ourselves to abstain from the use
of intoxicating lii|tiors as a beverage.' "
"Mr. Lincoln told the people that he
had signed this pleelge and was inviting
his neighbors to do the same. Many
signed the pledge.
" 'The first thing I knew, said Breckinridge in telling Dr. Russell the story,
"the speaker was standing in front of me.
He said to me, 'Sonny, don't you want
your name on this pledge?' I saiel, 'Yes,
sir.' He said, 'You know what it means,
that you are not to drink intoxicating
liquor?' I said 'Yes, sir.' He asked me
my name and I toltl him 'Cleopas Breckenridge.' He wrote my name upon the
paper anil then he transferred the paper
to his left hand and holding the paper
and pencil in his left hand, he leaned
over and laid his right hand upon my
head and said: 'Now, Sonny, you keep
that pledge, and it will be the best act of
your life.' "
"Breckenridge told Russell his life story
since that time. He related how he had
passed through numerous temptations,
both to sell liquor and to drink it, when
he kept tavern on the old trail across the
plains, 50 miles east of Denver, Colorado,
and while he served four years as a soldier in the Civil War, but he resisted all
such temptations and has become a prosperous, happy old farmer with his children and grandchildren growing up
about him and he says the pledge he made
to Abraham Lincoln has been one of the
essential elements in the success of his
lie."

GENERAL

COMMENT

BY W. L. WHITNEY

On Wednesday, the 28th of October,
the community was plunged into universal and heartfelt grief by the call from
our midst of Judge Morris M. Estee.
For the past three years, since these islands became a territory of the United
States, there has not been a more prominent nor a more universally respected
man in our midst than the late judge of
the United States District Court. The
eulogies lavishetl upon him from the pulpit and in the press leave nothing to be
said in this cursory anel brief review. But
the sorrow of all who knew him, anel the
deep grief of his intimate friends bear
testimony stronger than any words could
do of the character of the man. Ile was
the great example as he was the great
exponent of American citizenship in its

best, its broadest and its truest sense; a
man whose integrity was unimpeachable,
whose sense of justice and right was, as
far as man's may he, infallible; whose interest and whose frienelships were broad
anel far-reaching; whose knowleelge of
the law was great, whose life was pure,
whose relations with his fellow men were
so faultless that even in the heat of poli-

tical strife they remained unassailable and
unassaileel. Most sincerely do we hope
that his successor will be in this community the power for righteousness, honesty
and truth as he to whose memory a thousand of his fellow citizens united in paying their last tribute as his body left for
its final resting place on the steamship
Alameda.

Another noted citizen has, this month,
been taken from us. Robert Wilcox has
for twenty years been one of the most
conspicuous figures in our life here.
From the time that he was chosen as one
of the Hawaiian youth to he sent abroad
and educated to the clay of his death his
name has been known wherever Hawaii
and its history has been heard of. He
has won notoriety as the organizer of two
insurrections, as the recognized political
leader of the Hawaiians and as the first
delegate of this Territory to Congress.
With no great mental acumen, with no
great knowledge of the world, with no
remarkable presence, adelress or physique, we look in vain for the reason of the
power he held over his countrymen. We
believe, however, that by many of the
Hawaiians he was sincerely beloved, and
although his last rites have been marred
to make political capital, we, with the
rest of the community must needs pay

our respects to the memory of one who
has, so largely by his own efforts, raised
and helel himself in so high a position
among his countrymen.

In the courts much work has been done
since last we reviewed their acts. In the
court just left vacant by the death of
Judge Estee an unrelenting and resistless
warfare is being waged on those elespicable creatures who gain a livelihood by the
barter of the virtue of another. No
movement has ever been put on foot in
Honolulu which deserves and which
should receive such hearty support from
every Christian citizen as this. It is pitiable that any human being should sink
to the level of her who gains a livelihood
on the streets of this city, but that she
should be forceel into such a life by some
accursed brute in order that he may reap
the gains of her tlisgrace should rouse
every man in the community to action
and the war on such should never cease
till the last be elriven from our shores.
This, together with other matters as
yet unknown to the community at large,
has occupied the attention of the Feeleral
Grand Jury. Rumor, however, has it
that they have also taken up the matter
of the missing vouchers of the last House
of Representatives. The destruction of
such papers not only is a disgrace to the
community but as well an offence against
the laws of the United States. It is to
be hopeel that a fearless Federal Court
will lay its hand so heavily on the offenders that this scheme of dishonesty anay
never be tricel again.

.

The final and most serious attack on
the liquor laws of the Territory was made
this month before Judge Gear. His
Honor, however, in holding that all the
liquor laws of the Republic are still in
force whether specially re-enacted or not
has saveel US from a spectacle eif a community with little if any restraint on the
liquor traffic.

The notorious suit against Brewer &amp;
Company, Ltd., for $113,000 instituted
by a hui of young men of the community
merely as a matter of speculation, was
given its death blow by a ruling of the
late Juelge Estee that the offence, if any
was committed, occurred before the law
framed to punish it was enacted. The
burden of paying the $1445.93 of costs
now falls on the speculators.

wood, the new chaplain, is full of energy

in the class room he has found time for

a variety of interests and pursuits which
bring him close to the boys. In the first
place, he is a leader in the sports and
has lent an impetus to football which will
develop the first football team that ever
came out of the school. He does not forget the sick at the hospital, and above all
he is present the highest of ideals of
Christian living, and is giving utterance
in no uncertain way to the one gospel,

THE FRIEND
AN ORIENTAL SOCIAL MEETING
By Rev. E. W. Thwing.
One of the most enjoyable gatherings
of the people from the Far East, was a
social meeting held in the grounds of the
Japanese church of Hilo.
Mr. Yajima, the pastor, sent out invitations, to the Chinese and Koreans, to
meet with his Japanese Christians in a
social meeting of Oriental Christians. It
was a

pleasant time

to get

acquainted

with our brothers from over the water.
By the siele of the church door a large
inscription was written in twelve Chinese
characters : "Tung Yeting Kituk kau to
lun hop tai tsan nnik vi." In Japanese
it read: "To yo Kiristei Kyo to, den get
tai shim beiku kwai." In Korean the
sounds would still be different, but since
Chinese, Koreans anel Japanese, although
speaking different languages, all make
use of the Chinese character, the meaning was plain to all.
Literally the inscription reaels: "Eastern eieean Christ's church disciples joined
united kindly harmony meeting," oras
we would say: "A union social meeting
of Oriental Christians." All entered into
the spirit of the gathering, anel there was
friendly converse between Japanese and
Koreans, Chinese and Japanese, often indeed, where the spoken language would
fail, by the use of those wonderful t hi
nese characters.
Mr. Mo, the Chinese preacher, made
a short address in Chinese, which was
put into English by Mr. Thwing, anel
again into Japanese by Dr. Scudder. He
said as follows: "It is a great pleasure
to be here at this meeting of our Oriental Christians, coming from different
lands, but bound together by the love of
Christ. That love iiule'eel woulel be able
to make a tunnel through the very earth
itself, anel join the Occielcntal to the
Oriental.
"There is only one elraw back to our
meeting, anel that is the fact that we
cannot well understand each other. That
Tower of Babel has well mixeel up the
language of man, but one thing, I believe. Jesus Christ is building a tower in
his church, which will ineleeel overtop the
tower of old Babel. Christ's tower will
indeed reach up to heaven, forming a
stairway f&lt;ir man from earth to God.
This tower of the church will bring all
nations together in happy unity and hasten the time when we shall have one God,
one country and one language."
There was a song by the children of
the llonomu hoariling school, the Koreans sang in their own language, and a
picture was taken of the gathering. All
enjoyed the occasion greatly and will
hope to meet in this social way again at
some future time.

the school something over $250.
In the domestic department all the
work is done by the girls; washing, ironing and all cleaning, besides the preparation of food for both teachers and girls.
An average of twenty-five loaves of
bread are baked daily. Cakes, cookies,
bread, doughnuts, etc., are made and sold
by the girls and often twenty-five dollars
is taken in at one of these sales.
After a year's training, one of the older
girls is quite capable of taking charge of
this department, and in the absence of the
matron takes entire charge of the girls

A cooking class has been formed and
great interest is shown in this new line
of work, although we have not the equipment for more than a limited training.
Each girl's work is changed at the end
of each term so that she may have the
advantage of getting as much as possible

term the progress which each girl has
made is most encouraging.
We find the girls interested and eager
to learn to do their work in the very best
way.

PORTUGUESE WORK IN

HONOLULU.

By Rev. A. V. Soares.

The last Sunday in September was our
Sunday school "Rally Day." There was
a fine attendance and nearly all present,
even many in the infant department responded to the roll-call with a scripture
verse. Rev. G. L. Pearson of the Methodist church dropped in on us and encouraged us by a few kindly words.
One of the new features of our work
is a sewing class for girls, which meets
in the Sunday-school Infant Department
room of the church. It numbers twentyfour bright, interesting girls, not only of
our own, but some from outside.
The Ladies' Missionary Society are
having the pew cushions in the Sunday
school room renovated.
We were glad to see Rev. W. D. Westervelt at our church prayer-meeting a
few weeks ago. He gave us a little talk
which encouraged us and gladdened our
hearts. We are always pleased to welcome those who are interested in us. at
our services.
Good attendance and good behavior
still prevail at our street meetings at Kewalo. On returning from one of these
meetings one night last week we stepped
into Mr. Ryder's little mission and enjoyed a short season of fellowship.

THE CHINESE WORK AT WAILUKU.
By Miss Charlotte L. Turner.

The Chinese Mission School opened
the new year with an attendance of
twenty-four. Five children were receivetl from the Kindergarten. This is the
first time such a transfer has been made.
The refining influence of the Kindergarten training is noted in the general
appearance of the little ones, and in the
readiness with which they adapt themselves to their new school surroundings.
There has been a marked increase in
attendance at the Chinese church services, and Sunday School. One very
encouraging feature of the work is, the
class of Chinese young men that meet at
the settlement Thurselay anel Friday
evenings of each week for the study of
English; Friday evening being a union
of Chinese anel Japanese. At the same
time Chinese children are often gathered in groups engaged in games.
It is hoped that in seeking for the
mastery of a new language there may
be found the "unsearchable riches of
Christ."

ful: that is, the extravagant estimate of
the importance of the money. Suppose
ten million dollars to be put into a country, in the enterprise of evangelization,
and half of it lost, while the evangelization goes triumphantly on. Is it becoming to put on sack-cloth and ashes over
the lots? Christians in America lose ten
times that —yea, fifty times that sum,
every year, in stocks and mines and various .peculations. After the victory of
Gettysburg imagine a man walking about
the field wringing his hands, and frying:
"(), what a loss! Look at this destruction of property, ruined gun-carriages

Think of the awful expense of ammunition I Why, this one battle has involved
a loss of millions and millions of dollars
for which we, the people, have toiled so
long!" What will any patriotic American say to such an idiot as this? What,
then, shall we think of those who shrink
from the enterprise of evangelizing the
lands that need it most, lest property
should lie sacrificed in the process? What
shall we think of those who fear to press

Dear Christian people, the Master has

lost money too, but the loss was gain, as
it is in all victorious progress. It would
pay to burn up a large pile of bank notes,
if the light of their burning could only
enlighten the world.
In conclusion: Firstly, no larger proportion of property is destroyed in Turkey than in the United States: secondly,
one dollar used in Christian enterprise' in
Turkey, accomplishes about as much as
ten dollars used for a similar purpose in
this country; third, the clanger to the
dollars is not the greatest clanger to

:

SCIENCE AFFIRMING CREATIVE
POWER.

One of the most remarkable of the deliverances of scientific men on the subject of religion, whether regarel be had
to the standing of the author of the remark, or to the circumstances under
which it was uttered, was the eleclaration recently maele before a brilliant assemblage of notable thinkers in London
by Lord Kelvin, when he said: "Science
positively affirms creative power." The
occasion of the remark was a lecture delivered by Professor G. Henslow, on
"Present-Day Rationalism; An Examination of Darwinism." On moving a vote

of thanks to the lecturer, Lord Kelvin
said that he could not agree with the
speaker, that science neither affirms nor
denies creative power. Science, continued Lord Kelvin, makes every one feel
a miracle in himself. It is not in elead
matter that we live and move and have
our being, but in the creating anel directing power which science compels us to
accept as an "article of belief." Men
cannot escape from that when they study
"the physics and dynamics of living and
dead matter all arounel." "Modern biologists are coining once more to a firm
acceptance of something, and that is a
vital principle." Men "only know God
in His works," yet are "absolutely forced
by science to admit and to believe with
absolute confidence in a directive power—
in an influence other than physical, dynamical, electrical forces." Cicero denied
that men could come into being by a fortuitous concourse of atoms. Is there,
asked Lord Kelvin, anything so absurd
as to believe that a number of atoms, by
falling together of their own accord could
make a sprig of moss, a microbe, a living
animal? Men may be free in their
thought, be said, but with that freedom
of thought they are bound to come' to the
conclusion that .science is not antagonistic to religion, but a help for religion.
It is perfectly evident from these remarks, and from his known views otherwise expressed, that Lord Kelvin, who
is perhaps the le'adint, physicist in the
world, believes that science itself afforels
a testimony, a real knowledge, that there
is a spiritual influence in the' world about
us. We are not surprised to read in
"The London Times" that Lord TCcay,
who presided at University College, at
the lecture aforementioned, on the conclusion of Lord Kelvin's short adelress,
congratulated the Association before
whom it was delivered, on the proceedings that day, adding that it was "a granel
thing to hear that prince of science. Lord
Kelvin, give his testimony on behalf of
religion."
In a letter to "The Times" written subsequently to the meeting referred to,
Lorel Kelvin toeik pains to discriminate
the formation of a crystal from that of
living things, saying that the description
"fortuitous concourse of atoms" is utterly absurd in respect to the coming into
existence, the growth, or the continuation of the molecular combinations presenteel in the boelies of living things.
"Here," writes this great scientist,
"scientific thought is compelled to accept
the idea of Creative Power," and he indulges in this piece of reminiscence:
"Forty years ago, I asked Liebig, walking, somewhere in the country, if he believed that the grass and the flowers
which we saw around us grew by mere
mechanical forces. He answered, 'No,

There is a time in a small hoy's life
when his universe holds one glorious central star around which paler stars tamely
revolve. It is of that time that a New
York Tribune writer tells.
One of the financial magnates of the
country is so immersed in business that
he cannot make the rounels of his showplaces with any regularity. One day,
however, he hael an hour of idleness, and
strolled through the great stables of one
of his country estates. In a corner he
came upon a little boy—the heael coachman's sesi —at play with a fox-terrier.
They aelmireel the terrier for a while together, anel then the financier said, casually :
"Do veni know who I am?
"Yes," sir," said the child, "of course
do."
I
"Well, who am I?"
"Why, you're the man that rides in
my father's carriages."— The Youth's
