They subsist on the alms of the charitable, and in the settlements receive a pittance from government. They are under the superintendence of bead-men, who enforce the rules of the organization or guild. A certain amount must be paid by them before they can be admitted to the leper vilage. The laws of China are rigorous in reference to the separation of those tainted with leprosy, though there are I-or those probably isolated cases. having wealth are able to bribe the authorities, and so can remain in the pri vaey of their own homes. Outside of the East Gate of this city, there is a leper settlement, where there are said to be one thousand inmates, both male and female, and of all ages. I visited it recently and a sadder sight I never witnessed. The village consists of regular rows of brick-houses branching off to right and left of a main mad. The rooms are dilapidated and dirty and the people are huddled together in a wretched way. At the end of the principal street, is a temple with the Tablet of the Emperor, and near by are the shrines of the Goddess of Mercy and other divinities. The head men of the village were very courteous to us —and answered all our questions. There were a great many children and some of them seemed to be perfectly healthy. The Chinese have an idea that the disease disappears in the fourth generation. The boys are gathered into a school. The advent of foreigners created quite an excitement in the settlement and the poor people came crowding in from all parts to see us. One man addressed us in perfect good Eng- -try. • .

He is now on a tour of inspection of the Consulates, accompanied by Admiral Davis, and Mr. Seymour, the U. S. (!onsul of Canton. While detained here, last week. Mr. Seymour gave a most agreeable entertainment, which offered an excellent opportunity for Mr. Young, to meet all the missionaries and their families in Canton. Between forty and fifty surrounded the tables, representing the American Presbyterian Board, the English Wesleyan Society, the London Missionary Society, the American Baptist Union and (he BerlinSociety of Germany, together with ihe representatives from the Hawaiian Islands. It was a choke gathering of noble men and women, engaged in the grand missionary work. Brief addresses were made, by Mr. Young and Mr. Seymour, which were followed by short and apt replies, by American, English and (iernian and Hawaiian Missionaries. It was pleasant to be assured by Mr. Voting, that he slmuld DC ready to render all the aid in his power, to assist those engaged in the noble work of preaching the gospel, Mr. among the millions of China.

The recitations at the I'imuhou Preparatory Si hoed showed what excellent work bad been done there during the past year under Mrs. Ashfonl, and her assistants Misses Hopper, Carter, and Lewis. The recitations of the classes at Oahu College, given in die morning as samples of the ordinary class-roon'i work, were very 1 leditahlc both topupils and teachers. The specimens of draw ings in crayons showed what skill the attained under Prof. si hoi.irs had Furneaux' training. Mrs. Merrill's method of institution in English composition proved its merits by the excel knee and rapidity of the iinpromtu work done by her class. The prise speaking in connection with the historical exercises on Monday afternoon, drew out some most admirable elocutionary efforts from the nine contestants, There was such variety of style as well as sin h uniform excellence thai it was a difficult matter to award the prizes satisfactorily. Miss HestSe Dickson received the first: Miss May Atherton the second ; Miss May Dillingham the third; and Horace ('hamberlain the fourth. At the invitation of the Trustees of Oahu College. Rev. E. 0. Beckwith. 11. I)., president of the institution from 1854 to 1859, delivered an address on "Culture and Life" in Fort Street (lunch on Monday evening, June ,50th. Dr. Beckwith was hopeful of a glorious future for the Islands, and for the college. In words stirringofeloquence, and with sentiments of fervent loyalty to Jesus Christ, as the peerless eiubodi inent of a divine humanity, he urged the duty of furnishing for the children of this community the highest culture. So only could life be in its capacity and quality what be believes possible here tor a manhood that can grow heavenward without limit. 'This he advocated as obligatory upon parents and society in view of the discontent of ignorant toil, the dangers of littleness in positions of official respon sibilities, the serene satisfaction ot a well rounded and broad, cultured man hood. The address is to be published, and we hope all our readers will catch the enthusiasm and the hopefulness ol one whose love for Hawaii m*i, and for its prosperity, has only grown more intense by twenty-five years of absence. The Hawaiian Legislature is not the only one to which absurd and ridi c.ulous petitions are sent. The prison committee of the Massachusetts Legis lature has reported "inexpedient to prohibit the employment of convict labor in any branch of mechanical industry except the manufacture of textbooks for the public schools." �. .. THE FRIEND, 54 Capt 'Thomas Spencer, a well-known resident, U. S. Oomnien ial Agent at Hilo, died in the hotel in this city, Saturday, June 28. Coming to this city as the-captain of a whaler, he gave up that business, and opened a ship chandlery on Queen street. He re moved to Hilo, having purchased the store and the business which Mr. Pit man managed for many years. His natural characteristics, his bluffhearty ways, so generally considered typical of a sailor, won for him many friends: and his ardent patriotism was notorious ail over the islands. 'Though a native of Rhode Isiand, there was in his love for the "stars and stripes" a large measure of tropical fire, volcanic in its occasional outbursts.

Boswortb of Oberlin, read a paper on this topic. The distinctive characteristic of this work is that it is the direct, personal appeal which one makes to another alone, singling him out from all others. It is this which gets hold of the will, as no other does, and it is by an act of will that any one begiws a true Christian life. The preacher's words often have no effective result, because they glance off from his hearer's closely fitting armor of self conceit. Hot when after a minister's impressive presentation of gospel truth a friend asks, Are you satisfied with the life you are living ? Don't you feel you ought to he a Christian now, at once?" the words strike him between the joints of the harness ; for no cunning device of Satan, or of sinful men, can put aside God's personal claim on mechanical.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS AND POLITICAL COMPLICATIONS The low price of sugar, the high premium for exchange, the legislative measures for regulating the currency and for the enactment of a generaj banking law, have called public attention to some of the fundamental principles of finance.

S. government has of giving aid and comfort to the American commercial marine in foreign ports. After six weeks spent in cruising among the Marshall Islands, under Dr. Pease's direction, arrived again at Kusaie December 4th. The American Missionaries at Pon ape had sent word to Kusaie that they had nearly exhausted their stock of provisions, and found it difficult to food from the natives. procure Reached Ponape January Bth and stayed until January 19th landing sup plies. Then sailed for Ruk with Messrs. Sturges and Rand from Ponape and their Mortlock boys. February 2nd reached Ruk, and spent five days visiting stations. Reached Ponape on the return trip February 13th, and sailed February 15th for Kusaie to consult Dr. Pease. On the morning of February 22nd, in trying to enter the harbor at Dr. Pease's station on Kusaie, the vessel was wrecked on the reef. Up to this time the voyage had been most successful and through Captain Garland's skillful seamanship and a kind Providence, the staunch missionary vessel had escaped unharmed from frequent imminent perils. Captain Garland had already several times previously successfully entered the narrow tortuous channel. But this time there was a very heavy swell and quite a fresh breeze. After making a line fast to one of the four stationary anchors that were used to help warp in or out of the pocket in the reef which makes a basin just big enough to hold the Morning Star, and the boat had been sent to fasten another line further tip the har bor," the first line suddenly slackened, then grew taut again several times in succession. The Capain and his officers thought the anchor had pulled off �67 HE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER, 1884. the reef. They could not let go an anchor with any ho|>e of holding the vessel, for they were in 35 fathoms of water. I )ecision must be quickly made. The first line was let go and the attempt was made to head the vessel round. The Captain let the mainsail run down, and hauled up the jib, and set the lower top sail, but before before the vessel could turn, the heavy swell, (it was flood tide) threw her on to the rocks. Two seas broke over her stem; the third threw her broadside on to the reef. It was all done in less than five minutes All accounts give Captain Garland credit for great coolness and skill in managing the ship, though only nautical men could comprehend the full details Captain Garland gives of the whole affair. Francisco as it had l>een planned he should do, he was much gratified to find that the Hawaiian Board with commendable promptitude had chartered and sent forward the Jennie Walker on her mission ofrelief, carrying duplicates of the supplies ordered last year, and an extra amount of stores. Captain Garland had made a most favorable impression on this his first voyage in command of the missionary vessel, both for skillful management and for hearty interest in the missiorn work. As one of the missionaries writes, " Often a man deserves more credit for the way he demeans himself during and after a disaster than for blundering and success. Captain Garland's conduct at the time of the wreck and since, has been above criticism, and only praisesare given to him for hisgallant demeanor and Christian manliness under such trying circumstances as this disastrous termination of what had been only a successful voyage up to that moment on the morning of February 22 nd. , rather than usurping the place of other organizations, whose sphere is that of pure missionary work. consider First, let us THE RELATION OF THE GENERAL SECRETARY TO THE WORK.

Japan seems to be the terra incognita that ese to make the best of their way to land. Although when at the Loochoo, they may be far from their native shores, yet Munjiro win mi we shall now call Captain thinks that he knows enoutjh of the relative situation of the Loochoo and Japanese Islands to find his way across. He says that annually a large Japanese Junk visits the Loochoo Islands for the purpsoe of receiving tribute money, and that the junk leaves Japan in February and returns in Jane. He supposed they might get passage m her—at any rate they would make the trial ! We shall anxiously wait to learn the success of Captain Munjiro's expedition. He is a smart and intelligent young man, and has made good use of his opportunities, being able to speak and write the English language with tolerable accuracy. Should he succeed in reaching his native land in safety, his services may be of importance in opening an intercourse between his own and other countries. He would make an excellent interpreter between the Japanese and the English or Americans.. Success to Captain Munjiro, commanding the whaleboat "Adventurer." From the friend June I, iB6O. During the last nine years we have made diligent enquiry of various persons, but especially of officers of the Ferry Expedition, respecting Captain Munjiro, his companions, and the boat " Adventurer," but no information whatever could we obtain; judge then of our great surprise, on the arrival of the Japanese steamer Candimarrah, to have one of her officers, the Acting Interpreter, with the rank of Captain in the Japanese Navy, make us a call, and introduce himself as our old friend Capt- 1851.

John Kno Iptain • �76 THE FRIEND, FOREIGN visit to CORRESPONDENCE. the tomb of confucius. The Grano-Canal. July 25, 1884. Dear Doctor Damon :As you requested, I hasten to rejxm regarding my visit to the tomb of Confucius. Sister and I with ourtravellingcompanions Messrs. Bragnall and Protheroe, connected with the American Bible Society, spent the 14th of July in exploring the very interesting city of Chinfu in which is the celebrated temple of Confucius, and in visiting the tomb which is outside the walls. The temple is a fine structure, resplendent with yellow color tiles. The verandah roof is supported by 24 monolith pillars of marble, 22 feet high ; six of which along the front are very elaborately carved with spirited dragons winding about them. Minor temples are found on either side of the main building dedicated to Confucius' wife, to his father, to his mother, and to five ancestors. One large buildingcontains outline portraits of the sage on great tomb-stone-like slabs, and there are 120 smaller tablets, built into masonry, representing various scenes in Confucius' life which have been worn nearly smooth with the "rubbings" that havefor several ages certainly been taken from them. The large premises are enclosed by very substantial walls, and are heavily shaded by fir, cypress and yew trees. A well is shown from which the great teacher himself drank. Very many huge memorial-stones thickly cover the grounds erected by emperors of almost every dynastysince the sage's death. But the interest culminates around the grave of Confucius. About a mile to thenorth of the city is thewonderful cemetery of the Confucian Clan, surrounded by a massive brick wall, 25 or 30 feet high and about 14 miles in length. The whole of this great area is covered with a heavy growth of fir and cypress, as is common in the grave yards of North China. Within these grounds, 78 generations of this family are buried, extending back some 2,500 years. In all the world no such family grave yard exists, astonishing for the thousands of graves, and for the length of time their history covers. Within this great cemetery, larger than many cities, is a secondary enclosure,perhaps an acre in extent, in which Confucius, his son, and a grandson were buried under great mounds of . OCTOBER 1884. earth 18 to to 20 feet in height—none but these graves of su|>er-eminent three are found within these more sacred walls. The deep shades are very impressive. Massive figures in stone, representing animals and men, stand as sentinels along the approaches; and in front of the mound is a huge stone platform for sacrifices, and also highly finished stone censers and urns. The decaying trunk ofan ancient tree stands on Confucius' mound while other towering trees still living, strike their roots deep into its depths. A few steps to the west of Confucius' grave, the spot is marked with a tablet and a shrine, where one of the sage's disciples spent six years under a mat shed in mourning for his great master, several others mourned in like manner, but ceased this form of their mourning in three months. I need hardly say that an unsentimental one as I was much interested in the undoubted antiquity,and the simple grandeur of these memorials, of one of thegreat men of the world,and who has perhaps influenced more minds than any other who made no claims to divine honors. How sad that he should have been here deified.in a way so contrary to a!l his teachings. When the railroad is built between Shanghai and Peking, following as it no doubt will the course of the Grand Canal,---an event that may not be very distant -no place in all the world will be of more interest to the sentimetal and thoughtful traveller, than the Tomb of Confucius. Yours Faithfully, L. H. GVUCK. - AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR OF 1812 IN U. S. On our passage to China, Capt. Barstow of the "Ceylon," would oft times part in the revolutionary period as noteworthy as Barbara Freitche. The lighthouse, at the above period, was made the scene of a fife and drum victory over an English blockade in Scituate harbor. Two American vessels were coming into harbor laden with flour. As it was shallow, the man-of war was afraid to venture, and manned two boats to pursue them. They were fast gaining on them when seen by Rebecca and Abbie Bates, when going out to pick up chips to boil the tea kettle for the evening meal. The place was under the protection of the "Home Guards," who, not apprehending any danger, were on a forage in a huckleberry patch. The girls had become familiar with ammunition and military music. Perceiving the danger, one of the sisters proposed to face the enemy with guns, but, quickly taking in the fearful odds, had recourse to a stratagem. They fled to a side of the lighthouse, so as to be concealed from the enemy, and one of them in stentorian tones called the roll. In an instant after Rebecca struck a martial air on the fife, and Abbie hammered on the drum lustily. The music reached the British, a flag was hoisted and the two boats wheeled about, and in the act a seaman fell overboard but was seized, neck and heels, and hauled in. The music also alarmed the absent guards, who returned in time to raise tumultuous cheers as the enemy were departing, the ladies playing" Yankee Doodle." These two sisters never married, although the) had several proposals. They were very industrious, and could ply the needle and thread on any kind of garment for male or female. The family is remarkable for their longevity. Their father died when very aged, and their mother at 87, and their paternal grandfather at more than 100. One sister, Mrs. Jane Curtis, is in her 90th year, and another, Mrs. Hawthorne, is in her 79th. The house occupied by these two celebrities was built by their grandfather 140 years ago, and is in a wonderful state of preservation. —Boston Traveler. biguile the hours of the passage, by "Sailor yarns," and on one occasion he related the story of his "two Aunts," who put the British to flight, during the war of 18 12, off the Coast of Plymouth, Mass.

Last Thursday night the grounds of the Chinese Church were gay with paper lanterns and the audience rooms, above and below, were brilliantly lighted. The occasion was the welcome extended by the Christian Chinese of Honolulu to their tried friend and teacher, Mr. F. W. Damon, ( "Frank Damon",) to the new teacher of Chinese brought by Mr. Damon from China, to Rev. and Mrs. S. C. Damon and to Mrs. F. W. Damon. Mr. Coo Kirn was the moving SLirit in the affair, his efforts being ably seconder! by his efficient wife, by Consul Alee, by Mr. Li Cheung and by the Chinese Christians generally. The second story room was prettily trimmed, branches of palms stood in the corners, branches of some graceful climbing plant depended from the lamp brackets aloni; the walls and hung from the chandeliers. The pulpit lost its conventional identity in a mantle of Rowers and ferns and delicate greenery. On the wall behind the pulpit were the words "Welcome Aloha"— the same vtmrU nm! the same letteri hat had greeted Mr. Oggle and J'l us i in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. The programme of welcome began by a few words in Chinese" from Mr. Goo Kirn. Then Rev. C. M. Hyde prayed. After prayer a familiar hymn was sung—Hawaiian, Chinese, English voices, each in their own language. Then Mr. F. W. Damon made a brief address in Chinese. He spoke slowly yet without any hesitancy and with apparent fluency, evidencing a marked advance in his study of at least a portion of a language whose interminable dialects have been the despair of many a linguist. After his address in Chinese, he spoke briefly in English, expressing the graceful converse of that graceful sentence of Confucius, "It is good to greet the home-come traveller from a foreign shore." Mr. Hyde made a felicitous little speech of congratulation, in behalf of the foreign well wishers of the Chinese Mission. Another hymn was sung, after which brief speeches were made by Rev. S. C Damon, Hon. A. Y. Judd and Mr. T. H. Davies—all three being interpreted by Mr. Li Cheung. In the course of Judge Judd's remarks, he advised all the unmarried adult Chinese before him to go or send to China and take each to himself one wife. Mr. Davies alluded in glowing terms to the average commercial integrity of Chinese traders in Hawaii, and mentioned, impersonally, an instance of rare business honor on the part of a Chinese merchant of this city. Mr. To Ting, the new teacher, spoke briefly, in Chinese. The assembly then went down stairs to the school rooms, where ice cream, cake, tea and coffee were served; and where the audience had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. F. W. Damon sing, in Chinese, one of the familiar hymns of Christians in ev;ry land. The lady's mastery of the language and its accent is so perfect that Mr. Li Cheung declares that if he had not seen the singer should have be lieved the voice to be that of a Chinese lady. —Saturday Press, Sept.

A very large con- gregation assembled to hear him, including Captain Aridji, of the Japanese training-ship Tsukuba. Mr. Damon spoke in strong terms against the injustice received at the hands of foreign powers by Japan; and paid a handsome tribute to the efforts of Judd, Richards, Lee, Wylie and others who had so successfully labored to secure the autonomy of these islands and to prevent a reproduction of the same offensive conditions that hamper the best development of Japan, He presented an array of figures showing something of the development of the present educational system of Japan—a system thai no one man has done more to develop, than Mr. M.

II HONOLULU, LAST OF THE KAMEHAMEHAS. The dynasty of the Kamehamehas, occupies a remarkable position in the world's history of the Nineteenth Century. The century opens with Kamehamehaeha I upon .the Hawaiian throne, and his successors and descendants occupied that throne in peaceful possession during the seven following decades. We use the term peaceful, giving it a marked significance, for during that period, while the thrones of the Kingdoms of Europe and other nations of the world have been shaken and many of them overthrown, the Throne of Hawaii has, been occupied by kings, who have ruled in peace, and their subjects have enjoyed peace. It was during the reign of Kamehsmeha II and his successors, that Chistianity was established in this central group of the Pacific This was an event, with its attending circumstances and consequences, second only to the landing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock, in the 17th century. Among the passing events of the age, this is an event of no ordinary note and significance, that the last of the Kamehameha family should have passed away and the door of the Royal Mausoleum ck>sed upon the mortal remains of Mrs. Bernice Pauahi Bishop, wife oi Hon. Charles R. Bishop, born December 19, 1831, died October 16, 1884, aged 53 years. This event has been made an appropriate topic of discussion in both the Fort street and Bethel pulpits, by their respective pastors. The following paragraphs we copy from the November number of the Hawaiian Monthly as pecularily and admirably suited to the occasion THE NOVEMBER* 1884. 81 9tt> S*m*>, n)oft«t«« **_ King's Guard.

OCTOBER MONTHLY CONCERT AT We have recently heard this questionasked, in connection with the authorship of a volume on"The Past and Present of the Sandwich Islands'" being a series of lectures to the first Congeregational Church of San Francisco, 1853. In answer to this question we wouldremark that the Rev. T. D. Hunt, came to the Sandwich Isiands, as a missionary of the Americcn Board, in 1845 and was stationed in 1845, at Kau, Hawaii. He very soon acquired the Hawaiian language, and in a few months was preaching.

While preaching in this city, an urgent call was received from San Francisco for a Protestant clergyman to labor among the inhabitants of that city. A free passage was granted to him, a salary of $2,500 for one year's labor as a chaplain at large. He entered upon this new and important field of labor with great zeal and enthusiasm. He remained for several years as pastor of the Congregational Church ofthat city, and it was during thatperiod that he delivered the lectures referred to at the head of this article. Mr. Hunt was an eloquent and able preacher. We shall never forget the last sermon preached in our Bethel before his embarkation, from the text " Stand in awe, and sin not" Psalms 4: 4. After returning to the East, he was settled in Michigan, and subsequently in Sodus, N. Y. We last met our old and pleasant associate in Philadelphia, at the Centennial, in 1876. Our recollections of Mr. Hunt as a preacher and friend are most pleasant. His lectures are worthy of perusal and we rejoice that a copy has found its way into the Honolulu Library, and another copy lies before us, apresent Irom the author more than thirty years ago. In 1847 he wrote several atricles for the Friend, The tapestry drawn, with dismay we behold Great darkness and gloom, thy long past close enfold. What meaneth thisdesert, thiswilderness drear, When God at creation the world cradled here T Have suns failed to shine, have thedews ceased to fal', Have winds wafted grim desolation o'er all T Have treasures entrusted thy mountains and seas Lain folded in napkins, thy long slothto please f We wish to thank the editors of the dailies and weeklies of Honolulu, for the many kindly notices which we have received since our return from China. The delay of this acknowledgement has been occasioned by the fact that our little sheet is only a Monthly.

Upon the failure of this firm, Lewis began to go down hill and has been poor ever since. Sometime in the fifties he built the residence in Nuuanu valley above the ice works now owned by Queen Emma. It is coincident that Lewis, first wife died suddenly in Kawaiahao Church about 1852 or 3. By a second wife he leaves several children. His death was caused by heart disease from which he has long suffered. The completion of the Honolulu Library and Reading Room Association Building, affords us great satisfaction. The Y. M. C. A. Hall, standing opposite, contributes to form a most com- mendable exhibition of the good taste and public spirit of the people of Honolulu.

Brooks, Esq. of San Francisco, a pamphlet of 18 pages relating to the most recent data, appertaining to tne numerous expeditions now pushing their way towards the North Pole. One fact -of special interest is noted, viz, the relics of the ill-fated Jeannette have been found off the coast of Greenland. Supposing these articles can be fully proved as belonging to the Jeannette, then it follows that they must have drifted on the ice, a distance of "over forty-five hundred miles in one thousand and ninety-six days ;" allowing for all the twists and eccentricities which the currents may be subject to. This would give the floes an average time of about four nautical miles per day, which is just what took place." This phamphlet is accompanied by a map, indicating the present state of The scientific Arctic explorations. and America appear men of Europe more eager than ever to push forward explorations.

No young man should live unto himself. Nothing in nature lives only for itself. The flower that blooms in the garden or on the mountain side exhibits what God can do as an artist and sweetens the air which man breathes. It lives not to itself. The Redeemer of men lived for others. He "wentabout doing good." He lived to establish a kingdom. Young men, heartily and actively identified with this kingdom, are connected with the greatest and best cause on earth.

He no longer is favored with donations from seamen and whalers, as in by-gone years While our pecuniary resources have been diminished, we have not ceased to distribute our paper most freely among seamen and strangers. We trust the Y. M. C. A.and the Hawaiian Board of Missions, will see their way clear to come to our aid during the coming year. Those societies have been aided by advocicy in our columns far beyond the aid which they have given for tlic support and gratitious circulation of the paper. A returned visitor from the South Seas remarks that he " found The Friend every where !" A reader once asked : How is the Friend supported?" Our reply was: "By From 200 to away." giving 500 copieshave been gratiously distributed each month among seamen, strangers and others. Who will hereafter aid in this good work ? " Wanted. —Papers, books and publications suitable for distribution among seamen, are much wanted. The call is constant for such publications.

The following paragraph from Harpers' Magazine answers this question in the best manner that it can be put "In the three hundred years there have been some two hundred Arctic voyages, forvarious purposes and with various fates. The Greely expedition wasone of the thirteen expeditions. Five hundred men passed two winters within the polar circle and nineteen of them only were lost. And lieutenant Ray says that the result of the observations of all these expeditions will be the world's knowledge of the* magnetic forces. That is to say, as the Rev. Hrooke Hereford, states in his admirable sermon upon this subject, 'Not one of all the thousand and ten thousand craft sailing to and fro among the many lands of earth but will be a little surer of its compass,a little safer,than it ever was before." Is it worth nothing? It is not the risk, the loss, even amply recompensed? But also as Mr. Hereford points out, the moral qualities, the patience, the courage, the self-denial, the faith.the endurance, developed by these Northern researches are incompable. "There issimply no other chapter in the history of human doings to be compared with it. Beside it the adven tures of commerce and conquest look greedy and base, the stories of chivalry are mere tinsel, the long heroism of the crusades seems a fevered frenzy." Cut bono} is not an argument to discourage the restless soul which the prospect of peril inspires, nor will the pathetic story of the patient and generous endurance amid apparently remediless suffering which the record of the Greely expedition discloses, dismay or deter other Greelys from daring the same dangers. The Arctic story is one of the saddest, but it is also one of the noblest, in the annals of human heroism. Haiper's Magazine. : — Prohibition.—There is a book recently introduced into our reading community entitled "The Liquor Problem in all ages." This volume is worthy of a thorough perusal. " Facts and figures" are dealt with in a style of literary fiinish which renders the work most entertaining. We desire especially to call attention to the chapter on Results of Prohibition, pages, 510 — 91 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1884. HOMESFOR THE HOMELESS. WEALTH OF THE SEA. Some anxiety is expressed in the newspapers respecting the future of the treaty. But in our estimation our islands are now receiving a far greater boon than any advantages conferred by the treaty. We refer to the arrival ofa goodly number of virtuous families, and accompaning these families manychoice and noble young women, to make homes for our bachelors. During our l»te travels in China and Japan, among the saddest features of the foreign society was the large number of unmarried young men, from F2ngland and America. F'rom reliable statistics it .appears that there are in China 387 m:\le missionaries, and 420 female missionaries from Europe and America. The purifying influence of the mission element is working out a most marvel ous transformation in the foreign society of China and Japan. Just now, the most happy and salutary change is taking place in our island community. Even in Honolulu, the number of good foreign families is upon the increase. We hail with delight every additional marriage. It elevates the moral tone in society, and adds another home to THE SAILOR'S HOME SOCIETY. our community.

An acre of good fishing ground, he pointed out, will yield more food in a week than an acre of the best and will yield in a year. Still more vivid was his picture of the moving "mountain of cod," 120 feet to 130 feet in height, which for two months in every year, moves westward and southward, past the Norwegian coast. Every square mile of this colossal column of fish contains 120 millions of fish, consuming every week, when on short rattons, no fewer than 840 millions of herrings. The whole catch of the Norwegian fisheries never exceed in a year more than half a square mile of this "cod mountain," and one week's supply of the herrings needed to keep that area of cod from starving. We might victual London with herrings for a year on a day's consumption of the countless shoals of unc.mght cod.—Poll Mall Gazette. Ixpended : $1,184 3° 780 deceived CO The New President of U.

Thanksgiving.—The 27th of Nov. was duly observed by Americans, religious services were held in Ft. St. Church, where the Rev. Mr. Oggel preached an eloquent sermon, which has been duly reported in the Dailies and the Saturday Press. Services were also held, at the English Church, where Bishop Willis preached, assisted by his clergy. It is highly creditable to the Americans and others in Honolulu, that they should so generally observe this day. Many ofthe stores were closed �THB FRIEND, DECEMBER, 92 EDITOR'S TABLE. Of late we have been peculiarly favored with having several very valuable books laid upon our table. If our limits would allow, we should be glad to give extended reviews of some of these book far beyond a brief notice. Theliterary and religious publications of Europe and America are increasing with astonishing rapidity. If they were all good, pure and salutary what a pleasant reflection it would be. Although we are not able to give extended notices of the books we wish to acknowledge their reception by the mail. A gentleman in Boston, has sent ns Myths in Medicines; a lady in New Haven, American comments on riuropean Questions, by the late J. P.

It was very thoughtful of a lady of our acquaintance to offer a friend of hers engaged in literary and scholarly pursuits and mission-work, to send him some fifteen or twenty dollars worth of books provided he would only send her the names of publications and books which would suit his tastes. When we notice how much is expended or rather wasted in the purchase of expensive furniture and useless ornaments and really how little is expended in the purchase of valuable and useful books, we cannot but express our surprise. Good books are the best ornament for the bouse and home, provided they are carefully perused. 1884. WEALTH IMMORTAL.

The Duke of Orleans was the eldest son of King Louis Philippe, and the inheritor of whatever rights his father could transmit. He was a very noble young man physically noble. His generous qualities had made him universally popular. One morning he invited a few of his companions to breakfast, as he was about to depart from Paris to join his regiment. In the conviviality of the hour, he drank a little too much wine. He did not become intoxicated. He was not in any respect a dissappated man. His character was lofty and noble. But in that joyous hour he drank just one glass too much. In taking the parting glass he slightly lost the balance of his body and mind. Bidding adieu to his companions, he entered his carriage; but for that one glass of wine he would have kept his seat. He leaped from his carriage; but for that one glass of wine he would have alighted on his feet. His head struck the pavement. Senseless and bleeding, he was taken into a beer shop near by and died. That extra glass of wine overthrew the Orleans dynasty, confiscated their property of $100,000-000, and sent the whole family into ex- tant, called the National Woman's Temperance Union, was formed just ten years ago, at Chatauqua, in the State of New York. During the ten years of its existence, it has been spreading until now it has become truly national, having branches in all the states and territories of the Union. Mrs. Leavitt has furnished us with a small "Annual Leaflet" for 1884, showing what are the plans of their work. It appears that the organization, has six departments: 1.

It does seem somewhat strange, that the captious, Critical and conservative are, for the time being, silent, and quite disposed to allow these ladies to do all the good in their power, with the blessing of God and the co-operation of all the good people of our city. The idea that a woman may speak in public, upon the subject of religion, temperance, or any other theme, is now generally conceded, thus showing the wonderful advance which has been made in public sentiment during the past few years. It surely was not so a few years ago. The two ladies now in Honolulu, are doing a good work and we hope a greater good is still in store, for all who may come under their influence. If they can reform the intemperate and establish the temperate, and lead the sinner to " break off his sins by righteousness," then let us give them our hearty, earnest, cordial and unqualified support. : . �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1884. 94 MARJ INE OURNAL.

Bethel Sociable—This gathering for December, intead of being held at the Bethel, was held at the residence of the Rev. Mr. Oggel, in Nuuanu valley. Some members of the Bethel Church and congregation having furnished the pastor's house with furniture and other conveniences for house-keeping, he invited his parishioners to gather at his residence. The gathing was quite large and the evening passed off most pleasantly. Dr. Damon and wife were present. The Rev. Mr. Oggel and wife welcomed their guests most cordially. Both pastor and people are to # be congratulated in view of the pleasant and agreeable harmony existing between pastor and the people of the parish. Homicide. —We reserve all conments upon the recent sad instance of homicide which occurred during the past month in Honolulu. This however we will add, that our laws respecting the carrying of concealed weapons should be strictly enforced. The recent news from San Francisco, is enough to arouse a wholesome public indignation against the unlawful and criminal conduct of going armed about the street.

LEAVITTS LECTURES. were both his you can spare to nobler purposes and Mrs. Leavitt's addresses for five con- Arnold and General secutive evenings have been listened to superior in intellect, but not in integrity uses. This) by large and appreciative audiences.* The lectures on Monday and Tuesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. Hall, respectively on temperance, from the medical aspect, and, does Prohibition prohibit ?' were characterized by familiarity with these themes on the part of the speaker and received with much gratification by those in attendance. We are informed that a considerable number have signed the pledge. Mrs. Leavitt will give three more addresses 'on Temperance on the evenings of the 3rd, 4th and sth of December, which we trust will be largely attended and be productive of the best results. * The address to the union audience at Fort Street. Church, on Lord's day evening on the theme : The government shall be upon his sh.ulders," was able and earnest and must have had a beneficent efiect on the large congregation present. " LECTURE TO YOUNG MEN. On Friday evening, Nov. 28th, Mrs. Leavitt, the temperance lecturer, gave an address at the Y. M. C. A. Hall to young men. Mr. B. F. Dillingham presided. Mrs. Leavitt said " High : position means high moral worth. Great moral worth and position is holiness of heart and integrity of life. We shall have well grounded fears for young men if their eyes are to be blinded by things near and tangible and they shall forget, that as Lowell says, heaven and God can be had for the asking. Young men are the hope of the future only in proportion as they shall develop the moral nature. Physical culture is necessary; we must take care of these bodies God has given us, and they must be trained. But the .mere athlete is coming to the front too fast; we have no need of athletes without moral principle. We must not by too much eating and drinking become dyspeptics: nor should young people through dancing into the late night hour wear out the system early in life. We should not put too high a value on intellectual power. It is a worthy thing to develop the powers of the mind. But the best and highest thing of character. "If the country," he said, will pay my expenses, it is all I can receive." What grander sight can you imagine, than to see him in the retirement of the forest, pleading with God for the deliverance of his country ? Whatever may be your abilities or attainments, remember ever, that rectitude of character and above all the knowledge and love of God are the things that are best. You may not become great or renowned according to human ideas, but bear in mind that the love of God in the heart is the thing supreme Temperance being more particu larly my theme, I will use the testimony of Dr. Guthrie of Scotland as my text. " He said : i, My health has been better since leaving off moderate drinking. John Wesley gives the same testimony. No English life insurance company will at this day insure the lives of drinking men. 2, My head is clearer. A famous surgeon said whenever he had a critical case he must have every faculty at its keenest. For physicians, literary men and poets it is best at all times to let drink alone. Speaking of poets, look at Bums, Byron and Edgar A. Poe, all cut offbefore they were 37 years, through drink, while Bryant, Longfellow and Whittier, who led clean lives, have done all their best work after being fifty; and their work is much better. We should learn to work later in life. The keenest pleasure we can have is in work. Our Lord said, "My father worketh hitherto and I work." It is Godlike to work. 3, My heart is happier. So will you young men, have a lighter heart and be far happier in keeping away from the cup that inebriates. 4, My purse is heavier. Work rather for yourself than for the saloon-keeper. We do not want to be slaves, and yet young men will make slaves of themselves. Do not spend for strong drink the house that may some day be your own and give you a Be warned by the degrading and debasing influences of strong drink. Young men, leave it alone! Come one and all to the foot oi the cross, and accept Christ as your savior and example; Jesus Christ, the noblest and grandest figure in history." I'he lecture abounded in beautiful and apt illustrations, which we have not space to reproduce, and was listened to with riveted attention to toe close. MR.C. S. MASON. Editor of Y. M. C. A. Department : The following lines were received by the undersigned per last mail from R. C. Morse., president of the Interna tional committee Y. M. C. Association. "In regard to Mr. C. S. Mason, the general secretary of the Honolulu Y.M. C. A. let me say, that in the light of even this partial investigation we have certainly every reason to regret the unrighteous haste of the Gloucester people; it is certainly a case of persecution.* Yours very truly, J.

During all these subsequent years, the subscriber has been lx.th publisher and editor. It is a period embracing the best part of a half century, and covering the reigns of three Kings, and parts of two others. Vast have been the changes in this '< Island world of the Pacific" during this period; and if the reader will perilse the more than 4,000 pages of this monthly, he may gether no unreliable and untrustworthy history of the past half century. There is no such complete record, in the Governmentarchives or church records, of deaths and marriages among foreigners, or of the arrival and departure of ships, and passengers, besides a vast amount of useful A historian historical memoranda. might confine his research to the more than forty volumes of this paper, and write a history of Polynesia, including its commerce, and the progress of Missions. So valuable has the Friend become in a historical point of view, that yearsago a request came from the British Museum for a complete file, and even now Mr. Bancroft, the historian of the Pacific coast, is employing one of his secretaries in carefully gleaning data from its pages. Here are found the full reports of the whaling fleet, the early accounts of the gold discovery in California and Australia, and also a full and complete history of Missions in the Hawaiian Islands, Micronesia and other groups. Special attention has been always given to th* last mentioned topic, ; appendix to the "Acts of the ApotttM." In retiring from the active management of this paper, I cannot but express my unfeigned satisfaction that the enterprize has passed over to publishers, in whom the Christian public has such entire confidence, thus affording the assurance that the aims and purposes of Tin-: Friknd will be even better carried out than they have been in Pastors Cruzan and Oggel enter upon their duties with every prospect of a successful career of usefulness in this department of Christian effort. This paper occupies a peculiar sphere, and I rejoice that its life is to be perpetuated under such favorable auspices. I trust all old subscribers and many additional new ones will aid in its liberal support. In closing my lal>ors as publisher and editor, I desire to return my unfeigned thanks to all subscribers, contributors and donors. There is only one name I will publish, which is that of E. Dunscombe, my ever faithful clerk for over twenty years. I would gladly record one other, but I know permission would not be given. Neither will I forget to mention the printers, who have always been piomptly paid when their quarterly bills were presented, whatever might have been the amount of The Friend's credit at tne bank. Thus more than $20,000 have been disbursed, or than $80,000, including the bills for paper. During all these years, with the exception of the Y. M. C. A.'s contribution, the publisher has not relied for support on any Benevolent or Mission Societies. In concluding this brief valedictory, I cannot refrain from acknowledging the kind Providence, under whose sustaining care and guidance, more than a half million copies of this paper have been scattered broad-cast among landsmen and seamen. It affords satisfaction that this little sheet has cheered the cabins and forecastles of thousands of vessels as they have cruised in these Pacific waters and the Arctic seas. With the kindest wishes to my successors and the reading public, S. C. Damon, Late Publisher & Editor of Tlie Friend. The Friend needs no introduction The parting words of Dr. Damon tell of a continuous existence through fortytwo years of this monthly publication, whose further management has been entrusted to our care. In these parting words Dr. Damon sets forth clearly and comprehensively the history of The Friend and the wide influence which it has exerted during these many years. An influence that is far reaching, as well in the various and distant parts of the earth to which The Friend has wended its way as in the unnumbered lives which it has touched and moulded beneficently for time and the hereafter. THE OLD AND THE NEW. It is said in the Apocalyptic vision .hut at some point in the oncoming history of humanity, Time will cease to be. How far off or how near this cessation of Time is, we do not know. But the fact itself is announced. All divisions and measurements of days and months, years and centuries, shall end. The stream of Time will flow into the ocean of eternity, and the ever-changing present be succeeded by the immutable hereafter. The mind naturally turns to this theme at the near terminus of the Old and the threshold of a New Year. How Time flies ! Truly and beautifully Queen Charlotte said : "I am always quarreling with Time; it is so short to do something and so long to do nothing." Time never halts. Banks suspend and human plans are thwarted, but amid financial disasters, the disturbances of war, the ravages of eaithquake, cyclone and pestilence, and the commotions in tbe affairs of nations, Time contiuues its ever onward march. Progress is the watchword of men, cities and kingdoms. Nations do not al ways remain the same. They come up from barbarism and idolatry to civilization and Christianity. Science in all departments is constantly advancing. What changes and improvements have been wrought by movable type, by gunpowder, steam and electricity ? Former tilings are ever passing away, and the future will be better than the present, Thus the individual Christian should �4 Volume 43, No. 1 THE FRIEND. s grow in all the graces and in usefulness as the years come ami go. For what would lie thought of a man who should constantly attempt to amuse himself with the toys that interested him when he was a child ? To a young man the memories of childhood and youth become things of the past. His native town becomes too small for his ambition and aims. He leaves his lioyhood's home, with a Bible from his mother in his trunk, perhaps to get tin education, or for better chances in business. Thus tlie Christian's motto should lie : Onward and upward. With all things around us advancing, a Christian standing still, or doing nothing, would be an anomaly in God's creation. With Improvements in art, Literature and law, shall not the Christian bead tin? list in earnest effort for God's glory and the good of man ? The close of one year and the commencement of another call upon all for a review and a look forward. It should lie to everyone what the settling time, or the time to balance liooks, is to the man of business. This time has always and impressively reminded us of such themes as the solemnity of living, human responsibility, the glory of Christian work, and kindred matters. We think of a hymn that tells of ''Nothing but leaves and years of wasted life," a song of sadness ! Will anyone, as 1884 is passing away, have to say of himself, "Through all the months of this closing year I have borne nothing but leaves." And this with an open Bible suying, No man liveth to himself." No! for the facts of duty and mutual helpfulness are proved by the very fact of one's own One cannot existence. Carlyle says: move a step without meeting a duty," In public prayer we have often beard the expression, '< We are unprofitable servants." This is a wrong application of a Scriptural phrase. As Christians we are doubtless useful to God, who, through human instrumentalities, is carrying out bis merciful designs. But we cheerfully admit that, as "the light of the world" in an intimate and living union with our Lord, we might and ought to be much more profitable, and that the Christian church as a whole, by a more thorough and complete surrender of itself to Christ, might be far more instrumental and efficient for human salvation than it has been heretofore. As we look ahead and realize that the clock of Time some day will stop and the hand of God will wind it up no more, and the whirl and excitement and toil of life shall cease, let us learn the meaning of our existence and appreciate our God-given opportunities. Then will our departure to a higher sphere of living and of labor be like a glorious crown which God's hand will put on a noble, well-spent life. Thus tbe Old will vanish while the " " New is to dawn sinless, tearless and cloudless.. And the glory of the future is in this also, that in tbe New, thjit shall follow the Old, there will lie the blissful reunion of friends. Now, if the Old were always to continue, there could bono reunion. But the New is coming, and coming without an attendant train of trials and tears, of parting and pain. Hence this revelation of the New is a fair vision and a source of hope and strength to the tried and tempted and those bereaved and bowed down. And we apprehend that the checkered scenes of intermingled joys and sorrows arc subservient to our best interests and conducive to the augmenting of our felicity hereafter. For the reminiscences of the past will be fountains of profit and gladness, as the joy of the safe landing is increased by the remembrance of the storms and perils of the voyage. It has since long been a custom for persons upon the first day of the year to salute one another with good wishes. Subjects have done so to their rulers, children exchanged these greetings with parents, pastors with their people, and friends with each other. In conformity with this time-honored and beautiful custom, we wish all our readers on the Islands and abroad a happy New Year. FROMMICRONESIA. The "Jennie Walker," Captain Holland, arrived in this port from Micronesia on Wednesday, the 24th of December, having had a prosperous voyage, although absent nearly a month longer than was anticipated. It will be remembered that she was chartered by the Hawaiian Board to take Rev. R. W. Logan and family and Miss A. A. Calmer on their mission work in Western Micronesia, and also to take forward tlie supplies for the missions of the American Board in Micronesia and to bring back the crew of the wrecked "Morning Star" and such missionaries as might be waiting to come. Having landed the supplies at Kusaie ami Ponape, on the voyage out, she proceeded to the Mortlock Islands and link with the Logans, landing them with their supplies at the Island of Uole, in Ruk Lagoon, where a favorable site for their station was Obtained, and with the help of two carpenters from Ponape, the frame of their house was put up, roofed over, and enclosed, and the floors laid before the vessel sailed on her return. She returned to Kusaie, arriving there early in November. Left Kusaie Novemlier 7th with Rev. E. M. Pease, M. D., and family, Rev. G. Leleo, Mrs. K. Haina, and the crew of the Morning Star" and two other passengers. Touched at Jaluit, and arrived at Honolulu after a rather protracted passage of forty-eight days from Kusaie, ten of which were occupied in the passage between that island and Jaluit. • Dr. Pease and family are in fair health, " but much needing a rest of a year to recruit in the United States, whither they will shortly proceed. The reports from the mission stations are in general favorable. Miss Palmer, though destined for Ponape to assist Miss Fletcher in her girls' school there, remains this year on Kusaie, as associate for Miss Cathcart during the absence of Dr. and Mrs. Pease. Mr. und Mrs. Walkup were in usual health, and busy in their training school for Gilbert Islanders. At Ponape, Miss Fletcher's school was quite flourishing, numbering fifteen girls. Mr. Logan writes from Ruk that their prospects there were inspiriting, the people receiving them very, cordially. The live stock they took with them on the '(Jennie Walker" stood the voyage well, and arrived in good condition at Ruk. It is hoped that an associate family may be stationed there with the Logans in another year. WANTED, ACCURATE INFORMATION. There is great need for some one to put in compact shape information in regard to these Islands, for the benefit of tourists, and then our steamship lines, the hotel, and other inteiested parties should scatter it broadcast, not only over the Pacific Coast, but also in the Interior and the Eastern States of America. Hawaii is but a speck upon the map, so it is not strange that among the most intelligent people, the densest ignorance prevails. We know, for a short time ago, when we faced towards the Islands as a (xissible home, what we did not know about Hawaii would have made a much larger book than Miss Bird's, while what we did know could have been put in a small paragraph. To the questions, What is the cost of the trip? Is there a good hotel ? What is the cost per week of room and board ? "What are the facilities for visiting on the other islands besides Oahu ? What outfit is needed in the way of clothing ?— and dozens of others which any one planning a trip here would ask, where can the information, briefly and plainly put, be found '? Some of the errors in information (?) given seekers after truth about Hawaii, are laughable. Mark Twain apologelically says, in one of his ixx.ks, that in solid facts of inspite of all his efforts formation will leak out of him." There mu-t be something in changing climate which has the same effect on former residents of Hawaii. They are generully the most misleading people into whose hnnds the poor, unsuspecting tourist can fall. For example, when, three years ago, we faced Hawaii as a probable future home, our better half asked a lady who had resided seven years in Honolulu, "About bedding: now, will I need to ship my blankets ?" Why, as you have them," was the reply, "perhaps you had better take " " " " �5 THE FRIEND. January 1885 Rev.

I have a friend who lives in Honolulu, and she writes me that they all eat with their fingers. One soon gets used to it and does not mind it at all !" The wife of a prominent clergyman of San Francisco, anxiously seeking information so that her family might come to the Islands with suitable clothing, was told by a former resident of this city : Your husband will not need any coat down there ; all the gentlemen go in their shirt-sleeves, it is so hot!" Think of one of our congregations, or worse still, a full-dress party, with the gentlemen all without coats! It certainly would create a sensation. I suppose this weather just suits you and reminds you of home ?" said a citizen of Los Angeles to a poor, sweltering, panting, perspiring Honolulan, who was caught in that city when the mercury was waltzing around between 95 and 110 degrees ! In reply, some very emphatic climatic information in regard to Hawaii was imparted. Who will compile a Hand-book of Information for the Benefit of Benighted American Tourists to the Hawaiian Islands ?" We charge nothing for the suggestion, nor for the above title. " " " " " " EDITORIAL NOTES. Consul H. W. Severance, of San Francisco, has ohr thanks for late California papers by the Alameda. What better prayer for the New Year could be offered than this which comes from the pen of Father Lyons: "May the year '85 be greatly blessed in the work of revivals on the. Islands, and throughout the world"? In addition to the various departments mentioned In our circular, printed on open a question another page, we box and shall be glad to have our readers on the Islands and abroad send questions to our columns. Dr. Damon having disposed of The Friend, proceeds at once to build him a fine house. We congratulate the Doctor, and hope that, when we have conducted The Friend for forty-two years we shall be able to build two fine houses. We regret to learn that Rev. Walter Frear, the former well-beloved Pastor of Fort Street Church has been seriously ill, but are glad to see by The Pacific of December 10th, that on the previous Sunday (December 7th), he was able to resume bis pulpit labors again. the veteran missionary of the Marshall Islands and Kusaie, is to be Chief Engineer of the Morning Star. Owing to special services conducted by Mrs. Hamp.on, the regular church services will be so broken up during the coming month that the pastors of the Bethel and Fort-st. churches have not thought it best to attempt to outline any work for January. Mrs. Partington stands as a type of worshipers (?) in every community, and Honolulu has a few of them. When asked Where she went to church," the dame replied, "O to any church where the Gospel is dispensed with!" Fortunately Honolulu has no such church, and if thi. class worship at all they must listen to the Gospel. The new headings used on this number of the Friend will disappear with the next number, and new electrotypes, ordered from San Francisco will take their place.

In what other community of the size of Honolulu, could over $3,000 be legitimately netted by a fair in a single afternoon and evening? Why should it be thought necessary, because a newspaper is religious and not secular, that its columns should be "padded" with "leads" and "slugs," and and the headings of each article made to take up as much space as possible? We see no good reason for it, hence our instruction to our printer is, "Pack every By the short route, via San Francisco column as close as possible with reading and The Pacific, we have this item from matter."

Brother Goodell send your items, in the future, to San Francisco, via Honolulu, and the columns of The Friend. As will be apparent to all, we have added four pages to the Friend. What may not be so apparent to the casual reader, we have widened the columns also. By this change we not only greatly improve the appearance of the paper, but, what is much more important, we gain a half column of space on each page, which formerly was lost in an unsightly, one-sided margin. Rev. W. A. Swan, conveying with him the aloha of hundreds of his friends outside the English Church, has left us for the Colonies, where he is to enter the regular ministerial work. The pupils of lolani College, of which he has been the very successful Head-master, presented him with a fine watch as a token of their regard, and St. Andrew's Church put in his hands a well-filled purse—and he deserved it all. The Chronicle, the organ of the Anglican Church in Hawaii, hasjust entered upon its third year, and celebrates the event by appearing with a much improved "head." The editorial "head"' remains the same, and could not well be improved, for Rev. Messrs. Mcintosh and Wallace have demonstrated that they know how to make an interesting religious newspaper. We wish our colleague all success, and hope that ere it reaches the venerableage of the Friend it may count its readers by the thousand. In our well-filled advertising columns our subscribers will find the names of most of Honolulu's sterling firms. We can vouch for the reliability and fairdealing of our advertising patrons. We shall rigidly exclude from our columns the advertisements of business houses or men with cloudy reputations for honesty. Consequently our subscribers on the other Islands, or in other countries, can confidently order by mail anything needed from any firm advertising in The Friend. The Mission Children's Society held their monthly meeting Saturday evening, December 27th, at Woodlawn," the residence of Mr. B. F. Dillingham. The exercises throughout were full of interest. It was especially agreeable to have a cousin present, in the person of Dr. E. M. Pease, from Strong's Island, who gave an interesting account of the missionary work in the regions from which he hailed. There were also present the Revs. W. B. Oleson, from Hilo, Hawaii, who spoke briefly of what is being done in the boarding schools for natives. He was followed by the Rev. Robert MacKenzie, of San Francisco, who made some happy remarks. A fact worthy of note is that there were no less than eight ministers present Mrs. Mary C. Leavitt, the temperance lecturer, was also there. New members elected: Miss Spooner and Miss Hall and the Rev. and Mrs. E. C. Oggel. The next regular meeting of the Society will be held at the residence of the President, Dr. C. M. Hyde.

" " Volume 43, No. 1 THE FRIEND 6 " The Teachers Association meets in annual convention, their sessions to continue for two days. Mr. 11. G. Townsend, of Lihue, was chosen President, and Miss Lulu L. Moore, * Secretary. There were present, in all, twenty-eight teachers, eighteen of these being ladies. Just as we go to press, Mr. Moore, of Wailuku, has delivered an Interesting lecture uix.u "The Teaching of English to Hawaiians," In which much Interest was manifested. Tlie papers and discussions cannot fail to be productive ol' profit to the Ixxly of teachers and to the visitors In attendance. They have a wise Presbytery in SanFrancisco. A Pittsburg, Pa., church called Rev. Robert McKenzie, of the Howard Presbyterian Church, and the Doctor feeling the "drag" of five years of the high-pressure at which a minister must work on the Pacific Coast (we know what that Is, for we have tried it), accepted, and shipped his library. But his church said, "We must keep Mr. McKenzie!" and the Presbytery said in effect to the Pittsburg church, "We admire your judgment in the choice of a minister; but we know a good workman as well as you do, and need him as much. He cannot come. Send liaek his books."

The exercises were opened with prayer by the new teacher, who arrived here from China with Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Damon. The children, perhaps 50 in number, then read 1 Corinthians, l.'.th chapter, first in Chinese and then la English. This was followed by tbe reading of the 2;! d Psalm in Chinese. Tlie exercises were then continued in the following order: Song in Chinese, by the girls, "Jesus loves me;" led by Mrs. F. W. Damon. Recitation by the boys of a part of the 2d chapter of Luke. Singing of a hymn in Chinese by the boys. The Chinese teacher then explained to the school the significance of Christ- sequent restored strength, think what a on treat is in store for our people in sonic of Rev.

Skttljl.no ourselves comfortably in our editorial arm-chair, the "ruling passion" instinctively leads first to an examination of The Fri end's exchanges. Among religious newspapers that one which comes first to hand is the venerable N. Y. Obxrrrcr, a Prime, sterling paper, blight and fresh, though now in its volume—though why it should be a "double-header" and separate so rigidly its "goats" of news-articles from its religious "sheep-fold" is more than we can understand. TheN. Y. EvanaaUat, with its bright, clean lace and tasty make-up is a delight to the eye of a printer; and as we taste here and there in its welltilled columns we find it indeed a (rash Field. From the Hub conies the Con(/eei/ii/ioiiii/ist, that sturdy "defender of the faith once delivered to" tlie Congregational grandfathers. Then comes The Pacific, bright, sound and readable always, one of the best specimens of newspaper brick-making with a small amount of straw, to be found anywhere. From the far south, Dunedin, New Zealand, comes the Prcxhi/lcrian; a glance through the columns of which shows that somebody in tho Colonies knows how to make a good family religious newspaper. The Missionary Outlook, from Toronto, Canada completes the list of distinctively religious exchanges which haveas yet come to hand. But the sturdy Advocate of temperance and righteousness, published by the National Temperance Society of New York is without a peer in its destinctive field ot work. With a bright, new pair of scissors, and a paste-pot standing near at hand, such a list of exchanges make us long for a 82-page paper.

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION AT THE CHINESE CHURCH. Having received an invitation to the Chinese Church last Wednesday evening to attend the exercises and to see the Christinas tree we accepted, and at halfpast six we were at the d(xir. The main room was tilled with Chinese, men, women and children. A Chinaman politely took us to another roam, where seats had been prepared for visitors. In this room was a beautiful Christmas tree prepared by kind hands, trimmed with maile, ferns and other decorations. Throughout the room there were presents for the children. The place was lit up with Chinese lanterns, and when the inas. Recitations followed by tho boys in English. "The raging waves dashed high," and "A boy stcxxl on the burning deck." Two little girls read from Matthew 2d, in English. The exercises were interspersed by brief remarks and explanations to the visitors present by Mr. F. W. Damon, the leader. The whole school all with banner in hand then sang: "Brightly gleams our banner," and tho children all waved their banners aloft. The presents were then distributed by Mr. and Mrs. Damon, assisted by Miss I'ayson who has conducted the English teaching of the boys. Two baskets laden with exquisite llowers stood on a table, from Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Damon, for Miss I'ayson and Miss Pearee respectively. It was a genuine pleasure to look into the bright, intelligent faces of the children, whose parents have come hither from an idolatrous land and to know that they are now being reached by the enlightening and saving influence of the Christian religion. And as we looked on, the words of the sacred writer came to us, "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things!" and the Master's saying: "Suffer little children to come unto me; for of such is the Kingdom of God." May the efficient, consecrated workers be strengthened to continue their noble endeavors in winning souls for "the great multitude, outof all nations, and kindred, and people and tongues, that stand before the throne." Under date of Dec. 26th, Rev. L. writes a cheering letter in which he expresses the wish for the new editors of the Friend that "The Lord will bless you abundantly in your new work as editors as well as your more spiritual work as Pastors."

Damon, - - - Editor. WOMAN'S WORK AMONG SEAMEN. Meeting a sailor a few days since, he referred to the fact that he had not received any letters from his friends tit home, '(but," he adds, ((I have received a letter from the Lady Missionary among Seamen in New York." This reminds us of the remarkable work now being done among seamen in England and America, by Christian ladies who are employed to labor among seamen. Some of the most successful laborer* among seamen in New York city are christian ladies. When last in New York, in 1880, we met several of these workers. Who can estimate the noble work among seamen in the British Navy by Miss Weston. This Christian lady is doing a great work among British seamen all over the world as well as in the home ports of England. Every month she sends forth one of her printed letters in a small monthly periodical of eight pages. These letters are freely distributed on all ships ol the British Navy. We often have met seamen who speak most enthusiastically of Miss Weston's efforts in their behalf. The success which attends the labors of Christian ladies among seamen should encourage others to go and do likewise. LOAN LIBRARIES. The effort to furnish vessels of war and merchant ships with libraries has become remarkably successful under the patronage of the American Seamen's Friend Society of New York. Since the enterprise was started, 12,078 libraries have been placed on shipboard. Lieutenant Richard Bush, U. 8. Navy, remarks in a note of thanks for the use of loan libraries placed on the U. S. S. Juniata: "As a life member of the American Seamen's Friend Society, and one who is in accord with its high object, I trust I may be permitted to say from the personal experience of several cruises, that these loan libraries are the most direct, effective and substantial way of reaching the sailor, and of giving him the benefit of religious, instructive and entertaining reading-matter. The result of this good work is incalculable, and the Navy is under a large debt of — obligation to your Society, which, for one, it gives me pleasure to acknowledge " THE FRIEND IN SOUTH AMERICA. Nearly forty years ago, a .stray number of the Friend found its way to Valparaiso, Chili, and was read by the Rev. Dr. Trumbull, Seamen's Chaplain. It suggested to his mind the idea of publishing a paper in that city, hence, he commenced the Neighbor, which was published in that city for nearly or quite twenty years, when it was discontinued. So pressing was tbe need of such a paper that it was revived under the name of the Record, and is still published by the Rev. Dr. Trumbull, now Senior Pastor of the Presbyterian church of that #ci.y. The October number of the tlecord was received by the last mail. It is No. 179 and Vol. 13, and is printed in octavo form of 10 pages, and the contents are most readable, containing a graphic sketch of Dr. Trumbull's visit to Talca, Talcahuano, Angel and Concepcion.. He preached in those cities in both English and Spanish. His influence in the Republic of Chili in promoting the circulation of the Bible and introducing a better religious tone among both foreigners and Chilians, have led to conferring upon him the honorable distinction of being styled the Luther of Chili. The Record contains the full report of u sermon by the Rev. M. Dodge, Dr. Trumbull's associate Pastor. AN ENGLISH SAILOR'S TRIBUTE TO A YANKEE SAILOR'S YARN. In the issue of the Gazette of the 17th uit. there is a capital and appreciative critique upon Dana's. "Two Years before the Mast." We distinctly remember reading the book when it was first published, about the year 1840 or '41. It had a wonderful sale and the Harpers arc reported to have made many thousands while the writer only received an insignificant amount for the copyright for twenty years. When Mr. Dana visited the islands a quarter of a century ago, we heard him partially repeat the story of his cruise on the coast of California. While thus referring to tinarticle copied, from the pen of W. Clark Russell, from the Contemporary Review), we are reminded of the whispered reason why the British Admiralty encouraged a generous supply of ((Two Years before the Mart," to be distributed among sailors in the British Navy, viz: to dissuade "British Tars" from deserting the '(English Flag" and enlisting under the "Stars and Stripes." Mr. Dana docs certainly depict most vividly the rather hard usage the Yankee sailors bad in the days when the "Cat and nine tails" wain use. SOUTH AMERICAN MISSION WITH THE NATIVES OF TIERRA DEL FUEGO. We are rejoiced to learn from the Valparaiso Jlecord that this mission continues to flourish. It will be remembered that it was originally founded by the noble Missionary Capt. .Gardner, who perished by starvation. This, true missionary martyr deserves to be ranked among the moral heroes of the world. It Is a remarkable fact that from among the otlii ers of tbe Royal Navy of England there have arisen some of the best and noblest Christian workers of modern times. Capt. Gardner deserves to hold the first rank. He chose for his field of labor the forlorn and desolate regions of Cape Horn. There, among the ignorant, besotted, degraded and outcast Tierra del Fuegians, he spent the closing years Volume 43, No. 1 of his most useful life. It was for the temporal and spiritual welfare of this heathen and cannibal people that he cast his lot among them. So successful were Captain Gardner and his associates that even Mr. Charles Darwin, the naturalist, was led to believe in the success of Missions, and actually contributed annually for the support of the South American Mission. It appears that a scientific expedition has been sent out to Cape Horn. In the communication made before the French Geographical Society by Captain Martial, relative to the scientific mission of the Romarushe, to Cape Horn, he said that the English Piotestant Mission of Ooshoovia had contributed greatly, if not to the civilization of Tierra del Fuego, at least to reclaiming them from savage life and manners. Consequently, when he quitted the island in September last, he with the consent of the French Government, made over to the missionaries the large range of huts which the French survey hud erected for their lodgings and meteorological and magnetic observations. "A WORD FITLY SPOKEN, HOW GOOD IT IS." More than thirty years ago a young sailor passing up Nuuanu street one Sabbath morning, was met by a lady going to worship at the Bethel who invited him to attend church, but he hurried away. Years pass on and the sailor boy became commander of a vessel in the U. S. Navy and served his country during the civil war. • Other years pass and he returns to Honolulu, but he had not forgotten the lady's invitation to attend divine worship. He seeks her home and most gratefully acknowledges her Christian kindness and the good which he had thereby received. ((A word fitly spoken, how good it is." 1 The Rev. Frank Thompson, formerly Pastor of the Foreign Church in Hilo, Hawaii, and more recently Pastor of the Congregational Church in Wilton, Ct, is now Seaman's Chaplain at Valparaiso, Chili. Witty was the rejoinder of Thackeray to Montalembert at the Derby, the race which is run annually at Epsom. The Frenchman noticed on the course several men dressed as fancy sailors, not Ihe genuine article. "Ah," said Montalembert, "these, 1 suppose, are some of what you call your British tars?" "No," said Thackeray, promptly, "they are only Lp.som salt-."— Every Other Saturday. You know how often it is difficult to charitable; to do good without multiplying the sources of evil.

A large proportion of the readers of the Friknd on these Islands are already familiar with the history and work of this Board. But as, with the growth of the community, there are now many who are unacquainted with the work of this Board and its relations to the Christian welfare of the islands of the North Pacific Ocean, a few words of explanation seem desirable. This Board was formed in the year 1803 to be the executive body of the "Hawaiian Evangelical Association," which by its Constitution comprises, "all the ordained clergymen, both native and foreign, of the Congregational and Presbyterian orders on the various Islands of Hawaii and of Micronesia and the Marquesas Islands; together with such laymen as may be elected from time to time by a two-thirds vote; together also " 9 THE FRIEND. seiiii-aiiiiually.

This Hoard is an incorporated body, having received a Charter from the Hawaiian Government in the year 1873; and the Corresponding Secretary of the Hoard is also its general executive officer, having the oversight oi the work on these islands in its various departments of benevolent and religious effort, as well as the Mission work of the Hawaiian Churches on the Marquesas islands and in Micronesia. Mr. W. W. Hall is the Treasurer, and will gladly receive any donations from those who feel disposed to aid the work of the Hoard.

From the Missionary Herald for November we learn that the total receipts up to that date toward the building and equipping of the ((Morning Star" No. 4 were $40,509 30. The total cost, ready for sea, at Boston, was nearly $41,000. She sailed from Boston for these islands Nov. sth, and will be due here about the first of next March. The passage is to be made under sail, as her steam is only for auxiliary use, and the instructions of the American Board are that "its use is to lie avoided" * * * ((whenever sails can fairly be relied upon. Her steam power is sufficient to make from six to seven knots per hour in ordinary weather, but it is not expected that she will ordinarily use more than would be required to give a speed of from four to five knots an hour. We clip the following from the Boston Congregationalist of Nov (ith: Regarding the boilers of the Morning Star and her detention, we are authorized to state that the lioilcrs were tested by the Government inspectors at Portland and certified as '(.sound, safe and fit for use." ln addition to this tho superintendent of the Delamater Iron Works of New York says of the same class of boilers, ((1 am fully prepared to advocate these boilers. They have now been used in the Louisiana for five years and the old bottoms were quite perfect when overhauled last spring. They are fast steaming, economical and strong boilers." The detention of the Star has been on account of the pump above. On the final test in running all the machinery tne pump did not work satisfactorily and the builders at once replaced it by a Dean pump of approved class. Captain Bray will come out as commander of the new Morning Star, with Mr. Oarland as mate. Arthur Logan, a Mm of Rev. R. W. Logan, is also expected as a passenger by the Star. He goes to rejoin his parents at their new station on Ruk. Receipts of the Hawaiian Board from November 22(1 to December 22d, 1884. Foit Foreign Missions. !.,.:,.il_ Knreli.it Church, A. P.

Mr. Yarndley's singing class was discoursing melody in the room above, which may have had something to do with the enthusiasm of those in the room below. The meeting was inspiriting—at least in one of its features. President Jones spoke rather discouragingly concerning the committee work of the year, which called Mr. Davies to his feet. The latter gentleman then gave an exceedingly interesting account of what he saw of Y. M. C. A. work during a recent short stay in San Francisco. He happened to be there during the session of the Y. M. C. A.convention of the state. He said be had been encouraged, _ nay, inspired, by the words and acts of the ('hrist lan young men of 'al i forn ia. He had not before realized what Y. M. C.

And he hoped thnt our association would be able to send a delegate to the next convention to be held in San Francisco, President Jones said that there was a chance that General Sot-rotary McCoy, of San Francisco, would visit the Islands next February; and, if he canie, much good was to be hoped from the visit. Treasurer Kinney reported a satisfactory financial condition. The resignation of General Secretary Mason was accepted. The following persons were elected members: Messrs. Herbert, W. Deals, T.

[ Cornin un i ( ;itcd] What the full result of the recent presidential election In the United States will be upon the Prohibition movement it is impossible to say, but that in the main it will cause niarketl advancement in the Prohibition party we do not doubt. This election must murk ;i new era in the cause. It is and for some time has been one of the great questions of the hour and in u land where politics, from the nature of the Government, must necessarily mirror the questions agitating the mass, it is idle antl wrong to hope or attempt to isolate this issue from the political movements of the people. It must and will appear there. Party leaders undoubtedly will resist any Innovation which will endanger party success*. Daniel Webster, Rufus Choate and other Whig leaders deprecated, deplored the defection of followers opposed to slavery, which resulted in the disintegration of the Whig party. Bald Webster, speaking of the anti-slavery movement, this agitation must he stopped; slavery is a local issue. You in the North must leave it alone." .lames (1. Blame, standing in a similar position, I decline to said recently in Augusta, vote on prohibition in my own State because it is a dual issue, and I wish to show that I consider it such. It must not be brought into a national contest." The results in either of these two cases show how futile it la for any man or set of men to attempt to stay the workings of a great movement among ugreat think- " " ing people. Temperance, by the last election, became a prominent factor in the national contests in the United States, and will continue to be such until that issue is settled and settled right. Many may re- sist this, many may deprecate it, many may be alienated from the Prohibition ranks by this new departure. This must be expected. So it was with the Whig party when the defection occurred which resulted in the Republican party. But the young party, having the moral courage to face the questions of the hour, Volume 43, No. 1 soon gathered to itself the flower of the land. There is not n party in theUnited States to-day that has the vital power or force of the Prohibition party. It is young, it is growing, its sfar is in the ascendant. Other parties point to the past; it points to the future. Other parties are more or less negative and defensive. The temperance party Is positive, decisive, having the courage of Its own convictions and back if it all represents a principle which appeals to all that is best in man. Already thai party, small as it may seem, cannot be rivalled for the ability, eloquence and worth of its leaders. The people of the United Stales themselves are more ready to meet this question than one would suppose from the language! of party leaders. Canada has already instituted local option in a large majority of her counties—certainly the United States can do as well. Southern a.s well as Northern States are moving rapidly that way. Many ridicule the possibilities above suggested, and point to tin: comparative insignificance of the recent vote for St. John. Well, men laughed when old John Brown and family opened war upon the United States at Harper's ferry for the crime of slavery. But who laughs now? It is true John Brown's body lies mouldering in the grave, but his SOU] goes marching on. As Wendell Phillips once said when the abolition movement was ridiculed and its Insignificance in numbers, position, Ac, pointed out, » Well, what of it ?

CRUZAN, 1 E CLEAVING TO CHRIST. beautiful A sight in nature is a tree full of blossoms. The hope that accompanies the view is, that they may escape the danger to which they are exposed, come to maturity, and the tree may in due time exhibitabundant fruit. So it is, too, in the kingdom of Jesus. We pray and labor for converts to Christ and His cause. And when we realize the hoped for results, we rejoice, but at the same time we expect that there shall be steadfastness and advancement in the Christian life. Hence the practice of the early preachers of the Gospel was to exhort new converts to remain faithful to their consecration vows, and theiraim to confirm the souls of those who believed, persuading them to adorn their profession with a holy life. Joining the Church is a step in the right direction, provided there has first been a heart-union to Christ. But uniting with the Church by a public profession of religion should not be regarded as the end of duty. For conversion and confession are only the commencement of the Christian course. Then life is before one with its golden possibilities of converse with Christ, fellowship with His followers, growth in grace, and labors of love which shall be richly rewarded. With such relations and opportunities every convert can say with Doddridge, happy day that fixed my choice " O On Thee, my Savior and my God; Well may this glowing heart rejoice, And tell its raptures all abroad." The new life in man is like a seed that springs up, a light that illumines, a fire that burns. It creates a change that is seen in the countenance, shines in conversation, and reveals itself in a course of conduct that contemplates the glory of God. It is a life sacredly set apart to the service of Jesus. Such a life is only possible, however, in union with Christ Our Lord said to the disciples, "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye except ye abide in me." Joined to Jesus the life will be radiant and resultful. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit." But where there is not this union one is helpless and the life unprofitable. " "For," said the Master, "without me ye thing to him was new and delightful. can do nothing." Cleaving to Christ is therefore essential to a right state of the heart and to usefulness. For as in fruit, ripeness and sweetness come from the sun, so in the Christian, grace and growth must come from the sun of righteousness. It is our duty and privilege to live in constant communion with Jesus. It is said that in Nova Zemhla, where the winter is long and the summer short, an evergreen can get hut six inches from the ground. Hut when it is carried further south, it springs up and carries its stately growth full three hundred feet toward heaven, showing where it should he and what it can do. So it is with the Christian. He cannot be an earnest, steadfast, shining witness for Jesus, unless he breathes the atmosphere of intercourse with his Lord. "I cannot get on without three hours a day of prayer," said Martin Luther. "Pull the bell of prayer," says Cuyler, "and wait for the answer." Love, interest and duty should lead us constantly to seek our Savior's presence and to say: It seemed as if heaven and earth congratulated him on the glad, surprising change. Standing as It were in a new world he said, "I am a happy man. I have had more real enjoyment in one hour since I found the Savior, than I have had in all my life before." So will every Christian give his personal testimony to the preciousness of Jesus and that only a life close to him true pleasure affords. An eminent writer says: "It is good to become a Christian; better yet to ben. Christian; still better to remain a Christian; best of till to live and die a Christian, because such an one shall have a crown and throne in glory." personal relation to the living, personal Christ. We are ever exposed to doubt and distraction, temptations and trials. The soul may be tossed too and fro like a vessel at sea that is swept by the fury of theelements and dashed by the waves; but if we only cleave to Jesus Christ, He will be to us amid the winds and billows of life a strong and steadfast anchor. But if we live at a distance from the Savior the cares and attractions of the world will soon gain the ascendency over in general, but particularly to those who, during the labors of the lady evangelist among us and since, have indicated their intention to be henceforth on the Lord's side. Mrs. Hampson came to us after years of successful work for Jesus in other lands. She is one of many women who have consecrated their lives to the best interests of humanity and who live Savior divine— ''Our hearts and lives to Thee we (jive For without Thee we cannot live; Till in tho ocean of Thy love. We lose ourselves in heaven above." For usefulness then and safety, for comfort hen and enthronement hereafter, it is essential that we should cleave to Christ and abide in Him. No other relation of life is so honorable and agreeable. Of all bonds this union with the Lord Jesus is the most vital, noble and enduring. "Welcome, welcome dear Redeemer, Welcome to this heart of mine; Lord, I make a full surrender MRS. HAMPSON AND HER WORK. Every powei and thought be Thine, Thine entirely— In writing for this numlier of The Through eternal ages Thine!" Friend on the necessity of cleaving to Our safety too depends on a vital and Christ, we aim to be helpful to christians us. To illustrate: Dennis was a distinguished professor of religion. But Paul says of him: "Demas hatli forsaken me, having loved this present world." But Demas must have forsaken Christ before he deserted Paul. For he who lives near to Christ will not dissolve partnership with Christ's friends. Nothing therefore can be better than to cleave to Christ and abide in Him. What wife will lean upon a crutch, though it be of gold, when her husband says, "lean on me?" So should we cling to Christ. His loving heart and almighty arm alone can protect and save us. Happiness idso is found on,ly as we are with Jesus. A young man wended his way to a revival meeting. The first evening of his attendance he said to one, who addressed him on his need of a Savior, "I would give everything I possess to be a Christian." The following evening he found hope and peace in believing. He was one of the happiest of all who rejoiced in Jesus. Every- " For the heaven that smiles above them, And the good that they oan do." Her stay and efforts, here called to our remembrance the names of women who after well spent lives Have passed through ((lory's morning gate, "And walk in Paradise." Also of women who in different fields of work are still toiling and battling to undo the work of sin, and to further human happiness and God's glory. Among a hundred names there is one, in the line of christian temperance of whom Phoebe A. Hanaford says: "Her intellectual gifts have been supplemented with rare grace of character. The brilliant mental endowments and the delicate moral truth blend, like prismatic hues, into a broad ray of white light radiant with the name of Frances E. Willard." Another name is that of Mrs. Sarah J. Rhea, for a number of years a missionary in Persia, eloquentin prayer, gifted in address, thoroughly imbued with the spirit that wants the whole world far Christ and now exerting her powerful influence in this direction.

But this little discrepency will November 23d, we said to the Bethel on the Lord's side and a deeper interest Union congregation, in anticipation of this lady's mission: "Let us ask of God, that the place where we shall meet may be full of the presence and j>ower of the Divine Spirit. Let us address the throne of grace with an importunity of prayer, which only faith in the living God can inspire. Let us pray that the blessing of God may so rest upon the meetings, that salvation may come to all hearts and homes. So will our fair city to some extent become typical of that great city, which in the sacred records is pictured as filled with the redeemed from all lands; a city, ineffably beautiful, beaming with brightness from the presence of God and Christ, and musical with songs of triumph and the minstrelsy of harpers and cherubims." Mrs. Hampson has come and gone. It is proper to speak of the lady, the nature of her work and the results. Mrs. Hampson is an earnest, enthusiastic whole-hearted christian. Before the meridian of her life was reached, she had been tried in the fire, from which she came forth as gold purified. Husband and children were taken from her, and so to what sometimes is said, "A woman's place is at home," we mayanswer in this case that the home was broken up. Judging from Mrs. Hampson's frequent allusions to this subject, perhaps no one believes more strongly than she does that woman's sphere begins at home. She also illustrated the influence of the christian religion on the duties of domestics by saying that a servant can sweep the floor to the glory of God, and how one of these had said, "Even the door-mat shows that I have become a christian." But woman's work cannot be confined to the home sphere. Ages ago, under the Old Testament economy, women were identified with public affairs and sustained positions of responsibility. Those last at the cross and first at the grave were women, and the first one to proclaim a risen Redeemer was a woman. To-day there are women poets, women scientists, women artists, women lecturers, women reformers, women educators, women physicians, women lawyers, women in business, and women evangelists. Mrs. Hampson has for a score of years been telling "the old, old story" of Jesus and his love. As she discoursed one evening after another to large audiences at Kawaiahao church on the commanding theme of the great salvation, we thought of Chadwick's lines, "She spoke of justice, truth and love, How soft her word* distilled! She spoke of Qod; and all the place Was with His presence filled." And under the powerful presentation of the truth we think all must cordially have said Amen to Paul's sentiment, "There is neither male nor female; for ye are ail one in Christ Jesus." As to the results, christians have been revived, the Savior and his teachings have become more precious, some have come forward and declared themselves Volume 43, No. 2 �5 THE FRIEND.

They will soon come to the front with unabashed enthusiasm and a new prediction, which nothing but time can prove to be false, and nothing but fanaticism will believe to be true. Our thanks are due the publishers of "The Honolulu Almanac and Directory," and "The Honolulu Guide Book of Information" for copies. Both contain much valuable information. Dr. Damon, who for over forty years has enjoyed uninterrupted health, has for a number of days been confined to the house. The Doctor has our sympathy and we shall rejoice in his speedy restoration to health. It is not often that a father's mantle falling on the shoulders of a son, is such a complete and acceptable "fit," as in the case of the succession atMakawao, Maui, where Rev. Mr. Rouse, Jr., has stepped into his father's vacant pulpit, and is giving general satisfaction. We congratulate the people and the young pastor. The Editors of this publication extend their thanks to Rev. Dr. Damon for the valuable New Year's present to each of a complete set of The Friend. We assure the generous donorof our thorough appreciation of his kindness. If any parties desire to obtain a complete-file of The Friend, they should apply to Dr. Damon, as per announcement, in this paper. We have received from Dr. Kittridge, of Hilo, a sample copy of a little book entitled, "Sermon Texts, and Sunday School Record," which was prepared by his brother, the pastor of a large Presbyterian Church in Oswego, N. Y. It is by far the best thing of the kind which we have yet seen. The pastor of the Fort-St. Church will introduce them among his young people. Fort-St. Church wedding bells rang out cheerily on Thursday evening. Jan. 22d. The church was most beautifully decorated; Dr. Emerson made a manly looking bride-groom, and Dr. Sarah E. Peirce a charming bride. The Friknd extends most heartfelt congratulations. It is, perhaps, fortunate that there is no Medical Society in Honolulu, else Dr. Emerson might find it difficult to mainregutain membership among his lar" brethren; his consultations with a homeopathlst will undoubtedly occur frequently. We are glad to see the two "schools" thus happily united. We have received a long communication signed "B Secret." We had suprule, posed that the invariable newspaper must that the real names of the authors always accompany articles for publication, was so well-known that it needed no repetition. But in order that there may be no misunderstanding hereafter, we now inform all our correspondents that they must send their real names with articles intended for publication in The Friend. It is not necessary that the article be signed by the real name of " the author, but the editors MHtt have the name for their protection. "B Secret's" article goes into the waste-basket. We call especial attention to the advertisement of Miss Frances E. Willard's new book, "Woman and Temperance." It is a very complete statement of the part woman has taken in this great work, and her talent for it. The members of our local W. C. T. U. especially will find the book of value. Rev. J. S. Cutler is the agent. The entire foreign community of Honolulu, sympathize with her relatives in the severe illness of Mrs. Dr. Lowell Smith.

Her heaven will lie worth the having. THE CHURCHES. THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH. JANUARY—FEBRUARY. The Church work for 1885 opened with a sociable on the evening of New Year's day, which was well attended. At a called meeting the following persons wore chosen as Sunday School officers: Superintendent, Mr. J. Robbins; Secretary, Mr. T. M. Henderson; Treasurer, Mr. Jonathan Shaw; Librarian, Mr. Win. Clark: Assistant Librarians, Mr. Fred. Win. and Ernest Thrum; Prudential Com., Mr. H. A. Parmelee, Mrs. E. C. Oggel, Mr. E. C. Damon; Lesson Com., Mrs. B. F. Dillingham, Mrs. S. M. Damon, Mr. J. O. Carter, Mr. H. A. Parmelee. A vote of thanks was accorded Mr. H. A. Parmelee for his faithful and efficient services as Superintendent for the past three years. On Sabbath morning, January 11th, the Sunday School exercises were in harmony with Mrs. Hampson's work at Kawaiahao Church. Mrs. S. M. Damon, as usual, presided at the organ and led the school in several appropriate hymns. Addresses were made by Superintendent Robbins and E. C. Oggel, the pastor, appealing to the scholars to dedicate themselves to the service of Jesus without delay. Mrs. Dr. Lowell Smith then led in a fervent prayer for the blessing of the Holy Spirit on all present. On Sunday morning, the 18th, the pastor preached on "Confessing Christ," the Rev. Robert Mackenzie of San Francisco assisting, and in the evening on "The Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price." January 25th, the closing Sabbath of the month, was full of interest and encouragement. A large congregation was present at the morning service. The pastor spoke briefly on Ps, 34:8, "O taste and see that the Lord }s good." The to three adults. Nineteen |>ersons were admitted to membership; twelve on profession of faith, and seven by letter from Presbyterian Churches in the States and Canada. The sacrament of Communion was celebrated with gratitude and praise. Rev. Dr. C. M. Hyde assisted, administering the cup. The pastor conveyed to the communicants a message from Dr. Damon, that in the forty-two years of his pastorate he has never been absent from the regular prayer-meetings on account ot sickness, and that this was the first communion morning on which through illness he could not be present; but that he was restful in God, and rejoiced with us in the goodness of the Lord to us as a (Church. Prayer was offered both morning and evening for the recovery of Dr. Damon and Mrs. Lowell Smith. In the evening the discourse was on the love of Christ in the gift of Himself for our salvation. The after-meeting was of especial interest, several persons testifying, from individual experience, to the saving power of Jesus. On Tuesday evening, the 27th, a meeting of officers and teachers to promote the interests of the Sunday School was held at the residence of Mr. J. O. Carter, on Nuuanu avenue. The following are the subjects for the Wednesday evening meetings this month : Feb. 4, Monthly Concert—China. Feb. 11, Social Worship—Mat. 18:19,20. Feb. 18, Stand fast!—Gal. 5:1. Feb. 25, Wide awake—Luke 14:2,3. Go out and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." " FORT-ST. CHURCH. Notwithstanding the marked depres- sion in business circles, and the feeling of financial uncertainty and the necessity for economy, the annual sale of slips and sittings in Fort-St. Church realized over $5,000, securing an ample revenue for the coming year. The regular church-work for the past month has, of course, been greatly broken up by Mrs. Hampson's evangelistic services, only the Sabbath School sessions being held for the first two Sundays in the month. It was with a satisfied, "itis-good-to-be-at-home" feeling that the congregation gathered on Sunday morning, Jan. 18th, in the "home church." It is said that "one of the benefits of a vacation is the satisfaction with which one returns to his, hom,e." Certainly there was this satisfaction in many hearts on the resumption of our own services. The event of the month was the strong, earnest sermon of Rev. R. Mackenzie on Sunday evening, Jan. 18th. A large audience was present, and were wellrepaid by the suggestive, eloquent evan« gelical discourse. Mr. Mackenzie showed the self-possession and power of a true orator, in his compelling the attention of his audience during the very annoy-, lng alarm of fire, which occurred in the sacrament of Baptism was administered midst of the discaujrsje. �THE FRIEND. 6 Mr. Cruzan has resumed his "FiveThis minute Sermons to Children." year the young people will be divided iuto two classes: Class 1 Will consist of those who are eleven years old, or under, who will keep a record of attendance of morning services only.

The recent visit of Mrs. Hampson and the position she took among the nonEpiscopalians in Honolulu, indicates that there is a party in the English Church which has always given Mr. Moody a warm and cordial a reception whenever he has visited England. Among the best and most earnest supporters of Mr. Moody in England, have been members of the Established Church. We are always rejoiced to witness a cordial sympathy among Christians, no matter to what particular branch of the Christian Church they may be attached. True Christian sympathy and fellowship rides alxive the partition walls of all sects and denominations. It is on this account that we have witnessed the progress of Mrs. Hampson's Evangelistic labors in Honolulu with interest. This is a consummation to which we have ever directed our efforts as a minister of the gospel.

He believed it an absolute necessity that the officers, and the leading members of the church, should assist the pastor heartily in this movement, personally going to people with invitations, and then cordially welcoming them, even though they wear very coarse cloth.

Looking over some old books the other day, we ■mine across Charles Nordholf's 'California," a book written a little more than ten years ago, and therefore fairly entitled, in this fast age, when we live as much in ten years as our forefathers tlid in fifty, to be called an "old" book. And we were struck by the sturdy common sense and clear Chiistian insight or foresight of the views therein expressed as to the Chinese problem. We have room to quote only a sentence or two which are as full of truth and as pertinent to us here now as they were to California and the United States ten years ago. He says: ''John is inevitable. He has discovered America (Hawaii nei?) and finds It a good country. We shall not keep him out. But it is ours, and not his, to determine whether he shall be a curse or a blessing to us. If we treat him as Christianity teaches that we ought to treat our fellow menj-if we do unto him as we would that others should do unto us; if we see that he is instructed in that which we believe to be right, he may become a useful part of us. Teachable he certainly is; a far more civilized being— or rather, a far less savage creature— than many we get from Christian Great Britain." And again, "In some way, not by laws, for they can do nothing, but by missionary effort; by earnest, general, conscientious training, John must be brought to a comprehension of our customs, so that, even if he does not become a Christian in name or in fact, he shall yet learn to conform his lift; to that of our American people, and not live among us disordering and disorganizing our own society." Nordhoff never said a truer thing, and we rejoice to know that there are many friends of Christianity and of social older and purity on these Hawaiian Islands who take a similar view of the case and are willing to do what they can for the Christian enlightenment and advancement of our Chinese brother men on these shores. The Hawaiian Board have ordered a new edition of 4,000 copies of the Gilbert Island Hymn Book. Also a new edition of 1,000 copies of the Marhall Island Primary Arithmetic. These are to be printed in San Francisco in time to send forward to Micronesia by the new "Morning Star" next May. • Volume 43, No. 2 THE FRIEND. 8 ITEMS. The total amount of stock taken in the new Morning Star by the Sabbath Schools on these islands to date is $<i47.f15. We regret to record the death of one of our most promising and valued Hawaiian Missionaries to the Gilbert Islands, Rev. 8. K. Maunaloa, who died at Kawela, Molokiii, January 2d, 1885, of hemorrhage of the lungs. On the Ist of January, Rev. S. W. Kokuewa, formerly a valued missionary of this Hoard to the Marshall Islands, was installed p:ist«r of the native church of North Kohala, hitherto under the care of Rev. K. Bond. Rev. S. L. Desha, the young and promising pastor of the church at Kealakekua, Hawaii, was married January Ist, IMBO to Miss Mary Kekumano. Rev. G. W. VVaiau, pastor of the Church at Ilookena in South Kona, performed the ceremony. The Church building at Puako, a few miles south of Kawaihae, originally built under the active superintendence of Rev. L. Lyons, having been, for some years in a dilapidated condition, has been rebuilt under the direction of Rev. S. C. Luhiau, and with the active and praisworthy assistance of Mr. John Stupplebeen, the new building was dedicated on New Year's Day. New Year's Sabbath School Conventions were the order of the day this year at Wailuku, on Maui, and North Kona, on Hawaii. At Wailuku the Sabbath Schools of Maui and Molokai were all represented, numbering in all between six and seven hundred. H. R. H. Princess Liliuokalani Dominis and other invited guests from a distance graced the occasion with their presence. Rev. E M. Pease and family left by the Mariposa, January loth, on their way to the United States for a year's rest and recruiting. Dr. Pease takes with him the final manuscript translation of the whole New Testament in (he Marshall Island language, and will superintend its publication by the American Bible Society during the coming year. The graduates and former pupils of the Hilo Boys' Boarding School have taken steps to raise among themselves the sum of $25(1 for the erection of a monument to their late reverend and beloved teacher Rev. D. B. Lyman. It is to be of Italian marble, and will mark his resting place in the beautiful little foreign cemetery at Hilo. This graceful act of theirs is a spontaneous tribute of affection and esteem from bis former pupils. There are now two organized Chinese churches on these Islands connected with the work of the Hawaiian Board. The one here in Honolulu, with ail educated and excellent Chinese pastor, and an active membership of between seventyfive and one hundred; and the other at Kohala, with a competent and earnest Chinese preacher. Besides these there is a valuable Chinese colporteur and preacher at Hilo, doing a good work among the Chinese in that district, and another at Paia on East Maui, engaged in similarlabors for theChinese so thickly scattered In that region. It is interesting to note that at the last communion in the Chinese Church of Honolulu on the first Sabbath of last month, seven adults were received to membership on confession of faith, and two children were baptized. There are also several candidates for admission at the next communion season. At Kohala, in November last, two adults were received to membership in the Chinese Church on confession of their faith. Tiik war in China having resulted in much hardship and persecution to the Christian Chinese in that land, the sympathies of our Christian Chinese on these islands have been enlisted for their suffering brethren in the home land, and at the close of last year a contribution of $1520 was sent forward by them to Rev. R. Leehler to be distributed among the needy Chinese Christians of southern China, without regard to sect or denomination. The boys also of the Chinese school here made up a little purse among themselves of about eight dollars as their contribution to aid the children of those suffering ones. Surely this is a noble example. "By their fruits ye .shall know them" are the words of Christ. DONATIONS. Our hearty thanks are due to Mr. J. T. Waterhouse, Sen. for his liberal Christmas gift of $250, and to Mrs. M. S. Rice for an equally generous and timely donation of $250 more to aid the w ork of Mr. F. W. Damon, our Superintendentof the Chinese Evangelical work. Such investments are worth far more, both for "the life that now is, and for that which is to come," than plantation, railroad, steamship, or commercial, or even government bonds and stocks. r Statement of the receipts of the Hawaiian Board for the month ending Jan. 20th, 1885.

"I am very sorry, Wilbur, but we shall be obliged to give you a less responsible position than the one you now hold." These words were spoken in the private office of the large manufactory of Wells & Co. The man who spoke them was sitting in a chair by the desk. He was the senior member pi the thin. The man to whom they were ■ddretved stood with one hand upon the knob of the door; his hat was in the other band. He was a tine hsoking young man, with a (till, erect form, broad shoulders, and splendid physique. He bad a keen eye and a bright face. After the gentleman at the desk had eeaeed speaking, the employee presented a moody silence for some momenta His first impulse would have led him to refuse to take a subordinate position; his pride struggled hard against what was to him, "such a come down." But it was late in November, hard times, low wages, and many were out of employ. ineiit. If he left that place, what was he to do? There were plenty of others waiting to take it if he should leave it. He did not look up into the speaker's face, but answered with a despairing tone of voice: I am very sorry, Mr. Wells." It is not necessary for me to fell you why we have decided to make this change. You know yourself, Wilbur. The position you hold is too important and has too many interests at stake to allow us to run any risks. If you would only be true to yourself, Wilbur, all would be " " right." As Mr. Wells ceased speaking the young man bowed, and went out of the office. A gentleman came in just as he passed out As he closed the office door the new comer asked: Was that Wilbur Cummings, whom I just met at the door?" "Yes," replied Mr. Wells, "it was." How he has changed in two years!" said the first speaker. He seems to have such a Imng-dog look. What has happened?" Wilbur Is his own worst enemy," said Mr. Wells, sadly. "lam sorry to say that he is drinking heavily of late. He is not as reliable and responsible as he used to be." "How strange it is!" said the gentleman, that men will make such fools of themselves! I don't believe that it is necessary for any man to go beyond a certain limit. I take my wine at dinner and a glass of beer now and then, but further than that I never go." Perhaps you may be strong enough to be able to control your appetite, but I found when I was a young man that I could not be governed by any such rules.

He had one of the best of mothers. I knew her well. He has a splendid wife, and a baby. They lost their two first children." While this conversation was being carried on in the olfice of the manufactory, Wilbur Cuuiniiugs was slowly walking toward home. It was the dose of a raw November day. Everything looked gloomy anil cheerless. The young man buttoned his overcoat tightly over his chest, and as Ik cast his eye down upon it be said: ••How shabby I am getting to be! The whole world has turned a cold shoulder to me; even Wells has Insulted me by ottering me asubordinate position, and my pride almost compels me to quit the place this very night. What an unlucky fellow lam anyway! Everything conspires to drag me down. Things in this world are so unequally divided. Some folks are always in luck. There is no use ot trying to he anything; everybody gives me a kick. I'll go up to treason's before I go home and get a drink. That is all the consolation I have, anyhow." This resolution seemed to give Wilbur a new impetus, and he quickened his pace. But he was obliged to pass by his little home on the way to the saloon. His wife was usually in the kitchen at that time getting supper, and he thought he could pass by without being Men. But as he glanced toward the little house he culled his home, he saw the baby's face pressed against the window pane. The little child saw him, and immediately its face illuminated with joy, and a happy smile lieained upon it, and as its father approached nearer, it held out its little hands to be taken. "The baby Is watching for me," he thought as he waved his hand in recognition. "Watching for me, his miserable father. 'The sins of the father—the sins of the father!'" he muttered to himself. "What is the rest of it?" Instantly he seemed to hear his mother's voice, as he did in the long years ago when he repeated the words after her: "The sins of the father shall be visited apom the children." "That is it—'Shall be visited upon the children!' He stopped in front of the window and the baby hand threw a kiss out to him in the gray twilight. "I'll go in and take the baby first," thought he. "The little fellow will lie so disappointed if I pass on. I'll go to Gleason's after supper." In another moment he had taken the ittle one in his arms and kissed the " baby face that watched so patiently for his coming. He went into the kitchen, where his wife was preparing the evening meal, with the baby In his arms. "I've had a letter from mother to-day," his wife said, very cheerily. "She has invited us down there for New Year's day." "You and the baby can go. I shan't husband, in a gruff tone of voice. "You know I shall not go if you do not," his wife said, this time with no show of enthusiasm. "The Bartlett's are going," she continued, "and I wish we could go too." "Bartlett has got something to go with; I haven't," he answered, as he put the baby in its high chair at the table. His wife would like to have asked her husband why they hadn't any means to use, as well as their neighbor, especially as he had nut as large a salary as Wilbur had. But she had learned that silence was golden, and silence was strength at such times. So she put her'supper on the table mh\ prepared her husband's meal just as he liked it best. While the husband was eating his supper he noticed that his wife's only decent dress for visiting occasions was lying over the back of a chair; her scissors and work-basket were on the seat. "Nan thought she was going to her mother's for New Year's, and she has been ripping up that old dress again to make it look like a new one, I suppose. Poor Nannie!" He remembered at that moment what a fresh, pretty, trusting girl she was when, only a few years before, she bad promised to take him "for belter for worse, for richer for poorer." You made a poor bargain, Nan," he said, when you married me. lam one of the unlucky ones. You needn't expect to be anything or have anything while you are tied to such a miserable fellow as 1 am." "And why not, Willie dear?" she said. You know I love you dearly." "Nan," ho said, looking her straight in the eye, tell me if you do not regret that you ever married me. What a comfortable, warm home you had! Was it not a great deal nicer there than it is now out in the cold, comfortless world with me?" (), Willie, please don't talk so. What is the matter?" The wife's hand was instantly laid upon the husband's head, and she stooped over and kissed him. You know, Willie dear, 1 never regretted being your wife." Well, Nan, nobody would blame you if you did. You are worthy of a nobler, better and stronger husband than I am." As he glanced over the room everything seemed to look shabbier and poorer than ever. Everything in his neighbor's home was so neat and cosy and attractive. "Why?" The old saloon-keeper could have told in a few words. He lived in a stone-front house; his wife go," said her " " " " " " " �11 THE FRIEND. February 1885 dressed in silks every day; yes, and on Willies money—the very money Nan and the baby ought justly to have. Catching up his hat, he said: "Nan, I'll be back before long, but if I don't get home before bed-time, don't sit up for me." "Tiss pupa! tiss papa!" the baby said, lifting up its little face. Wilbur Cumming's hand was already upon the door-knob, but he relinquished its hold and came back and kissed the baby. "Kiss me, too," said the wife, as she went to the door with him, "and please Willie, don't stay out late to-night, I'm so lonely." Wilbur Cummings was outside the door, out in the chill November darkness. His first impulse was to go to Gleuson's and "drown his sorrows," as he expressed it. But something seemed to arrest his steps. A voice kept saying, "The sins of the fathers! the sins of the fathers!" What right have we to enuiil misery and wretchedness upon our own flesh and blood, our innocent children?" he exclaimed. "O, if I only had strength to overcome this terrible sin!" Just then he turnedand looked toward the house. The curtain was rolled up a little way, and there was the baby's face peeping through the glass, looking out for him. The tears came to .his eyes; they rolled down his cheeks. God helping me, "I will," he said, bo a better man. My child shall not suffer for his father's sins!" He buttoned his coat more tightly over his chest, for he was facing the east wind. He walked rapidly, but in an opposite direction from Gleason's. When he stopped it was before a large, handsome house in the avenue. He rang the bell, and when the door was opened he asked for Mr. Wells. While he waited in the hall he heard the merry voices of happy children. The music gave him renewed courage. When Mr. Wells, after a few moments of waiting, appeared in the hall, his employee said: "Please excuse me, Mr. Wells, for interrupting you at this time, but please God, and by his help, I am going to be a better man. Will you try me once more, sir?" Mr. Wells stood and hesitated a few minutes, and then he said, as he took hold of Wilbur's hand with a cordial grasp: "Yes, Wilbur, I will trust you once more. It will be a struggle and a fight. These victories are not won without combats and conflicts," his employer continued. "Put your trust in God, and rely upon his strength for help." The baby had gone to sleep, and the young wife had turned down the light, locked the doors, and, with a thick shawl wrapped around her, she had also gone out into the darkness. Wilbur's manner had been so desperate that she was filled with alarm. She had been up the street in frout of Gleason's, but of course she " " BIRTHS. could not summon courage to go inside, and now she was walking slowly back At Hilo, Hawaii, Nov. 29th. 1881. to the wlfo of L.

We give up this number of Tin; PaUJUfO almost exclusively to the memory of Rev. Samuel Oiik nicks Damon, 1). 1)., and Mrs. Ami;am, Willis Smith. Upon these new-made graves, with tearfllled eyes and loving hands, we wish to place our tribute of love. Wk never could understand how the disfiguring a paper by turning column rules on the death of an editor came In be considered necessary as an expression of grief. We believe Dr. Damon would not wish Tiie'Fhiknj> to follow this custom. We prefer to express our sense of loss and grief in a different way. The family of the late Dr. Damon desire through our minimis to acknowledge the receipt of many letters from absent friends expressive of sympathy and condolence, which are highly appreciated, and for which they tender sincere thanks. The ruling passion: "I trust you are pleasantly impressed, Mr. Bala, with our unique little city?" "Very much so! at least three coluinns-and-a-half. By the last mail comes the sad news of the death in the United States of two of our csteamed islanders, viz: Mr. Chas. Alexander, formerly of Makawao, and Mr. William Lydgate, formerly of Laupahoehoe, Hawaii. We extend our sympathies to their bereaved friends. Just now we are having a feast of good things in the way of lecture's by distinguished gentlemen from abroad. Gen. Van iiuren told us about "Japan and the Japanese;" last night Prof. Agassi/,, the distinguished son of a distinguished father, gave a very instructive lecture; and Prof. Waylandand Rev. R. McKenzie are announced for lectures in the future. A PitiVATE letter from Mrs. Hampson, dated San Jose, Cal., Feb. 9th, contains many loving remembrances of Christian workers here in Honolulu. She was to begin Evangelistic work in San Jose, Sunday, Feb. 15th.

Smith, from the North of China. In exchange for the scenery of our mountains and valleys they gave us wortls of counsel and cheer on the Sabbath ; and we are none the losers by the bargain, for their words remain with us, —anil so also do the mountains and the valleys. Mr. Smith preached at Makawao, showing by his apt illustrations and ready tongue that even thirteen years' contact with the sleepy Chinaman and his incomprehensible language could not becloud his intellect or liefog his speech. Mr. Mackenzie preached in Wailuku, much to the satisfaction of the people there, who have been some months without preaching. While in Makawao he gave an interesting talk to to the native girls at the Seminary. He seemed to be greatly Interested in the Work done there, and has promised to furnish money for the support of one Of the girls. The increasing attendance at the Makawao Church on the Sabbath is certainly encouraging, especially when it is remembered that there is hardly a house within walking distance, and a large proportion of the congregation have to come from three to six miles to attend service.

We refuse to let our thoughts rest upon the pall, the grave, and the lifeless form already touched by decay. Why should one, when standing on some lofty height keep his thoughts fixed on a withered leaf, a blighted branch, or a lightning-riven tree, when a magnificent country, rich in colors, varied in scenery, clad with lieauty as a garment, and reaching so far that imagination fails to follows, awaits the uplifting of his eyes? This not is not Death, it is Hirth. It is not Night it is the ruddy blaze of Morning. It is not rest even: it is new strength, and power, and a new and endless period of activity. The immortal, grand, good man has simply stripped himself of bur- densome garments, and bounded beyond our sight. - "Hast thou not .rliin |,s.■ -. in the twilight here, Ol mountains where immortal mom prevails?

At Daniel Webster's funeral, a farmer-neighbor, stood with tear-iilled eyes looking into the strong face, and with choked voice said: "The world will be very lonesome without you, Daniel!" Honolulu will be "very lonesome without you," Dr. Damon! We loved this strong man, and he was worthly of it. Other pens have written worthy tributes to his memory. It remains only for us to speak of him in two relations, personal to ourselves. For three years, and more, the writer of this article worked with Dr. Damon, as pastors of sister Churches. Dr. Alexander used to say to the young men of his classes, "The bestting sin of the Of this there was ministry is envy." not an atom in Dr. Damon's great heart. During all the three years and more of our intimate work together there was never a hint of that narrow, grasping, "will- it-build- up-my-Church?" spiiit shown by him, which so often mars the characters of otherwise goes! and able men. He was larger than any church or creed. His tirst thought was, "What will best further the cause of Christ, and help humanity to nobler lives?" It was Christ, and man, first, and self second, If at all. It follows, of course, that in all the intimate blending of our work, there was never the shadow of discord, or want of harmony, hut always the fullest and heartiest sympathy and co-operation. The time came when Dr. Damon saw that it was best for the cause he loved, and also for himself, to transfer his work to other hands. There can be no severer test of the character of a man than the spirit in which he surrenders place, and Volume 43, No. 3 influence, and power, and stands aside, by Rev.

I shall not forget to pray for you, that God will bless you in it!" We feel the pressure of his hand still, and his prayer lingers as a benediction. What a grand man he was. How like a father he was to us younger pastors! How we miss him! Is it any wonder that we plod along like footsore and weary children, and forgetting the unalterable joy and blessedness and gain which is his, would fain bring him back, because we do not wish to be left alone? But it will not be long, this separation. Soon the work of us all will be done. Then we, too, will be "unclothed, that we may be clothed upon." When Mary saw the shrouding lying folded away in the sepulcher, she said at once. "The Master has risen!" And when she and the disciples saw Him, it was not the sorrowing Jesus, but the serene, effulgent God. "When we see Him we shall belike Him." THE SEAMAN'S FRIEND. Rev. Samuel Chenery Dauioii, after the short but severe illness ander which ho has suffered for the past few weeks, died on Saturday, February 7th, at 6:''s p. m. He had boon unconscious since the previous Wednesday, at which time he rallied slightly aud bade his family an affectionate farewell. The immediate cause of his death was inflammation of the brain. The funeral service took place on Sunday afternoon, the Bth from the Bethel Union Church, which was packed to standing room by those desirous to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of one who has gone in and out so prominent ly among this people for over forty years. King Kalakaua, Governor and Mrs. Dominis, Ministers Gibson, Neumann and Gulick were present. The Trustees of Oahu College attended in a body. Rev. E. C. Oggel, assisted by Revs. J. A. Cruzan and S. E. Bishop conducted the services, which were touching and impressive. Loving hands had arranged many floral tributes and emblems; anchors, crosses and wreaths decorated both pulpit aud coffin. At the close of the service the coffin was opened to allow friends to view the remains as they passed out by the King street gate. At the grave the services were conducted ing newspaper in the Pacific. He visited Oregon and California in 1849; the United States in 1851; Micronisia in 1861, per Moriiiiiy Star as delegate of the Hawaiian Board; Europe, Palestine and Egypt in 18G9-70; the United States in 1876; England and the Continont in 1880, and China and Japan in 1884. One year ago, before sailling for China, feeling the advance of age, Dr. Damon tendered his resignation of the Bethel pastorate, to take effect on his 70th birthday, and the duties of that position were assumed last August by the Rev. E. C. Oggel. At the close of 1884, after forty years editorship, Dr. Damon also transferred The Friend to Mossrs Cruzan and Oggel. He still felt strong aud active, and looked forward to many years of useful labor among seamen and others. Ho was engagod in superintending the completion of alterations and enlargement of his dwellinghouse, for the accommodation of his son, when his last illness unexpectedly prostrated him. Although not directly engaged in work for non-Christiun peoples, Dr. Damon's aims and sympathies were pre-eminently missionary. His chief thoughts and desires were supremely and enthusiastically for the ascendancy of the Lord Christ over all men, and the blessings of His reign to them. No subject so aroused his enthusiasm as that of missionary progress. His happiest public efforts were historical reviews of missionary work in the Pacific. He was well known as a successful speaker on missionary platforms in England and America. In his extensive travels his highest interest was in visiting and inspecting missonary stations. He had visited the principal stations in Syria, Egypt, China and Japan, where ho was a welcome and most inspiring guest. Of lato years he had become profoundly interested in evangelistic labors- among the Chinese in these islands. He was thoroughly convinced that there was no place in the world so favorable for effectively reach.ng the Chinese with Christ's Gospel as Honolulu. It was very much through his father's influence that Mr. Frank W. Damon became actively aud successfully employed for three years past as missionary of the Hawaiian Board to the Chinese in these islands. Dr. Damon's eminent practical business and financial aptitudes made him prominent in counsel for good works. Besides the chief management of theSailor'sHome, and of the Stranger's Friend Society, ho had from the beginning been a leading member of the Board of Trustees of Oahu College and of the Queen's Hospital, also of the Hawaiian Board of Missions. In all these departments, the loss of his wise counsel will be deeply felt. Dr. Damon was widely read in general literature. The writer lately found him �5 THE FRIEND.

A good breadth of robust manliness, a transparent since rity, with a sagacious beneficence of purpose commended for him universal conti dence and honor.

No cause of which He is the leader can fail of ultimate triumph. Dr. Damon received a pirt of his education for his life work at Amherst College, Mass. He was a graduate of the class of 18MG. In that class appear the names of men illustrious ia the professions of their choice. Among these are the late exGovernor Uulln :k; Judge Chits. Hut bins Doolittle; Dr. R. D. Hitchcock, of the Union Theological Seminary, New York City; Dr. Stuart Robinson of Kentucky, and Dr. B. M. Palmer, the celebrated preacher of New Orleans, La. In college with hii.i were also the Rev. Dr. R. S. Slorrs and the Rev. Henry Ward Beechor, both of Brooklyn, N. Y. With these and many other men of reputation Dr. D.imon has had a delightful corrosp in.lence in after years. He entered ujion his theological course at Princeton Seminary, N. J., in 1838, and finished the course at Andover, Speaking of Princeton, Miss., in 1841. it is proper to mention here that all through his life Dr. Damon spoke with great enthusiasm of Dr. Addison Alexan ler. Edmund Burke once said that his life might bo bestdivided into fits or manias; tbihi • soul would launch out in hi one lit and be succeeded by a mania for some other thing. It was not so with Dr. Damon. He entered on the career of his life, not only with a definite aim, but with the highest passible purpose. As in different ages Augustine and Milton, Galileo and Martin Luther were called of God to their several tasks, so was Dr. Damon directed to preach the gospel of Jesus. His father, who was a capable business man, had designed his son also lor business, but Dr. Damon on his knees consecrated himself to the missionary work and in after years called this his second conversion. He was ordained to the Gospel minis, try, Sept. 15, 1841. He was married to Julia Sherman Mills, Oct. 6, 1841, his faithful aud loving companion till God took him. �6 It was in his mind, utfelar the auspices of the American Bo ird to carry the glad tidings to India anil to this end he had already begun the study of Tamil, but owing to the ill health and subsequent doatli at sea of the Rev. John Diell, the first chaplain at this port, Dr. Damon was transferred from the American Board to the American Seamen's Friend Society as Seamen's Chaplain for Honolulu. Dr. and Mrs. Damon arrived here on the IMb. of October, 1842, and until bis departure to the heavenly land, this has been his home and the field of his labors. As his chaplaincy, under the auspices of the parent society In New York, has been the great work of Dr. Damon's life, it is proper that on this oi'casion I should speak particularly of his labors in this direction. He began Ins efforts for the temporal and spiritual welfa.eof the sons of the ocean in his young manhood. 1 confess my Inability to tell you of all that he has done for seafaring men in these more than forty years. At this time, when eompanitively few seamen enter this jKirt, we, and especially those of us who have come here recently, can form no idea of a chaplain's work during the first twenty years and more of Dr. Damon's labors. 1 quote the following from his jubilee sermon: "During the years intervening between 1842 and 1807, at the lowest estimate 6,000 annually entered this port, and some years many more. The Rev. S. E. Bishop reports from .'l,llllO to 4,00(1 visiting Lmaina; the Rev. Titus Coan reports nearly the same number as visiting Hilo, while at Honolulu we were visited by 142 whaleships. I recollect one Sunday morning over thirty rounded Diamond Head, sixteen vessels of war, besides all the merchant vessels, and there could not have been less than 10,000 seamen during the year in the port of Honolulu." "During thc.se years," says Dr. Damon, "my labors were abundant, and sometimes beyond my strength." And though he went not to India, he carried out in the best sense the great commission, "Go preach the Gospel to c verycreature;" for in his distribution of Bibles and papers and tracts, in various languages, he came in contact with officers aud men of every land and clime. And here 1 Would remark what a blessing of God is the printing press, by which, as ou the Pentecostal day, we can reach the people of all lands, aud give them the Word of God and the knowledge of salvation through Jesus in their own language. 1 said 1 could not tell the extent of Dr. Damon's work for seamen. No, unfriends, I could not, even if I had accurate and complete statistics of every one of the forty-two years of his labors. Dr. Damon himself could have no adequate conception of it And this because of the multiplying and expanding power of the Gospel of Jesus. For the sermon preached and the word spoken for the Master is like sowing a THE FRIEND. seed that tiears abundant fruit, not in one life, but in many lives. Hence the glory of Dr. Damon's work through these? many years. Look back and see him, a young, earnest man, devoted to Jesus and his life-work. There ho goes, carrying hisjiusket full of the broad of life. As he visits one vessel after another, he scatters words of kindness like rain-drops. With one be leavss a Bible, with another n tract, that tells the old, yet ever new story of Jesus, and with others a FKiF.Nii, and a.s they read on the wide waters, there conic to them the memories of early teachings and a mother's prayers and perchance a prayer of their own for acceptance with Cod. And these in their turn speak a word and put the tract or thk fkif.nd in other hands, and so the work of one man has widened«from year to year and from land to land. Who of us can tell how many Simla he has touched, or what the harvest foi him shall be? My friends, not here, but with G<*fl it is known. Thus has he toiled, in closest sympathy with his Divine Master, who Identified Himself with sailors and ships, whom the sailor needs for salvation, and who in turn needs the ship and the seaman to carry His Gospel to all lands. Gladly would I dwell longer on this part of his work, so dear to him while But 1 must allude briefly to he lived. his other lalmrs. Of thk friend, a monthly publication devoted to the highest purposes, he was editor and publisher from 1843 until near the close of his life. Freely has it been circulated, and it has gone to all lands. During these years Dr. Damon has been the pastor of this church, and no tongue can tell to how many souls from this pulpit he has offered the bread and water of life. For the period of ten years, from 1842 to 1852, he was sole pastor among foreigners in Honolulu, both residents and seamen. In last year's report of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association it is said of him: ."His labors in the Bethel Union Church, as well as in the chaplaincy for seamen, and the editorship of thk FiHKNii newspaper, are for him M enduring monument, and are a part of the history of this Hawaiian Kingdom." It was during the years of his greatest activity that he had the Sailor's Home built, which ever since, has served to meet the wants of seamen visiting these islands, and where not only the temporal hut also the spiritual needs of men have constantly been attended to. Besides these Dr. Damon sustained His name other important relations. was identified with the causes of education, philanthropy and religion. His pen, his voice and his purse have been willing servants to elevate the mind, alleviate distress, and to bless mankind with the light and glory of the Gospel. During his period of service here he traveled at different times abroad. His Volume 43, No. 8 travels embraced the United States, Europe, Egypt, Palestine, China and Japan. He visited the Micronesian Islands as delegate from the Hawaiian Missionary Board. He went In the Morning Star, and subsequently published the "Morning Star Papers," of the highest value to all lovers of missions. The anticipation and the visit afforded him much gratification. In the preface to these papers he says: "Long before the establishment of the Mission had we conversed with shipmasters ami sailors alxiut these comparatively unknown regions." Again: "In imagination we pictured many a pleasant day's sail along the shores of islands decked in the rich and gorgeous drapery of the tropics, and the bright fancies of the imagination have been realized." Through all these years Dr. Damon has conducted an extensive correspondence. To this he attended in the early hours of the day. His letters went to many lands and to people of every class. Thus the same mail would carry letters to scholarly men in Europe and America, to English missionaries throughout all tho islands of the South Seas, anil to anxious mothers in Massachusetts and other States, carrying answers to inquiries about their sons. The honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on Dr. Damon by his alma mater in 1868; as one of our publications remarks, "a title well earned and worthily bestowed." In the latter years of his life he manifested a deep interest in the Chinese, and was anxious that they should be reached by the uplifting and saving influences of the Gospel. Dr. Damon presented his resignation as pastor of this church just a year ago, intending it should take effect this day, which, had he remained with us, would have been the seventieth anniversary of his birth. His design, however, was to continue his fellowship with us and to work for the Master. He said: "This decision, to resign the pastorate, I do not consider as affecting my position a.s Chaplain of the American Seamen's Friend Society, neither do 1 wish it to be understood that I cease my labors in Honolulu for the good of my fellow men. If God shall spare my life, I shall hope to return from China, and labor with you for years vo come, in the upbuilding of Christ's kingdom on these islands, it no longer as your pastor, then as your fellowluliorer in the closest bonds of Christian fellowship and love. But "God took him" before his pastorate ended, and the faithful servant has gone to his reward on high. He leaves behind, to cherish the memory of his loving nature, cheering presence and thoughtful interest in them, a wife and three sons with their families, respected by this community, and who now have the sympathy of all in their sore bereavement. In this tribute to the memory of Dr. �Damon we have not attempted to exhaust his life's work. A life so abundant in labors will furnish memories and teachings as the days go on, as God paints different pictures on the earth and ever new ones on the evening sky. But we are satisfied if we have succeeded in showing that Dr. Damon "walked with God." We say to young men: Look at this life of Dr. Damon, from his youth until the evening of the day when God took him; and as you compare it with the life of the man who has lived for the world and self, whose is to la' most envied and which shall be your model ? O, then, choose rightly and wisely. Dear friends, as we look at the grandeur of Dr. Damon's work, we are filled with gratitude to God. We cannot all attain his years, lint we may all live in followship with God, sow the seed, and work while the day lasts. Then "at evening time it will be light," and hereafter we shall forever dwell in the presence of the Lord and the glorified saints in that ideal land— '* Where dear ties are never severed; Parting., clasping, soli und moau, Hldoljrnt wakiue. twilight weeping, Heavy nooulfefe—ull are done; Where we fine! the Joy of loving, As we never loved before — Lovliitron. mi. hilled, unhindered.

Can we not say of him: <He Was a good man and a just, full of the Holy Ghost and of faith, and (through him) much people was added unto the Lord?' The work that he has done will lie gratefully remembered by all classes of Christians, by the stranger, especially, by 'them that go down to the sea in ships and occupy their business in great waters.' He is at rest. We doubt not but that he has overcome by the might of Him who called him to His service and to him shall be given to eat of the hidden manna which is in.the midst of the Paradise of God. His life is calling us with persuasive voice to follow the Son of God in cheerful, noble duty and in devotion to His service. His death is calling us, by its unexpected coining and by his readiness to go when the Master came. 'Be ye also ready."' RESOLUTIONS OF THE HAWAIIAN BOARD. God, in His wise providence, has recently removed from among us, to a better service on high, a beloved member of our Board, Rev. S. C. Damon, D. D. He had been in active membership ever since its organization in 1803, and nearly all this time in some position of special responsibility. In 1864 he was elected Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Missions, and was annually elected for five years. From June 1868 he was our Vice-President. In 1870 he was made Chairman of the Committee on Publication, and served in this cajiacity for nine years, seeking by his counsels to forward the publication of a Christian literature in the various dialects of the North Pacific. In 1881 In; was chosen as Chairman of the Committee on Home Missious, and held this position until the day of his death. Without doubt, our brother attended more meetings of the Board during these last twenty-one years than any other member whatever, and it will be long before we shall cease to miss his genial face in our deliberations respecting the work of the Lord in these islands of the sea All who have read Dr. Damon's "Morning Star Papers," written while he was a Delegate of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association to Micronesia in 1861, will hot need to be reminded how sincerely he'desired that "the Isles should wait for the Messiah's law," and how he returned from his tour of inspection with a heart filled to overflowing with the missionary spirit, and with a bright hope of the speedy coming of the Kingdom in those dark lands. How often since then, in our meetings has his face brightened as he listened to the report of the success of some distant missionary in Micronesia, sometimes- interupting to ask for the name of man or place that he might more vividly locate the scene of the triumph among the heathen he had once visited. Who of his associates can ever forget his unceasing interest in the evangelization of the Chinese who have come to our shores, his earnest presentation of their great spiritual wants, and of their claims upon us for tho Gospel ? Few of any am ing us have seemed to realize the magnitude of these claims as he did. Whenever we hear the sweettoned bell of the aeal Chinese Church on Fort street calling these strangers among ns to the worship of Sehovah, let us be reminded of that good friend of the Chinaman, who was indefatigable in his efforts until that chaste spire, pointing to tho better land, had been completed, and a comfortable audience room provided for their accommodation. As we see our brother's son, with full consecration, moving among these Chinese heathen, who swarm our streets, and seeking to lead them to the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world, let memory turn to our departed friend, with the thought that tho mantle of the the father has fallen on his child, and with David let us sing, Instead of thy father's shall be thy children." In view of the loss which our Board has sustained, Resolved, That we will cherish the memory of our Brother as one faithful unto death. Resolved, That the tender sympathy of this Board be extended, in this time of sorrow and loneliness to the bereaved help-meet of our Brother who, for so many years, baa been his constant and ever present sharer in his labors of love among the friendless and destitutestrangers from every land ; and to the children now mourning the loss of a beloved and honored father. Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions be sent to the family of Dr. Damon, and that they !>e published in The Friend, a paper ever to be associated with his name. 11. Binuham, Com. Attest: A. O.

M. C. KITTREDGE. The Master's voice did softly call, Amid his fields at dawn, '•<_) who will tend these lowly vines, Kent down, nntl scarred, and torn ? Will gently lift these feeble ones, Nor scorn the humble toil, To dig, mid water, prune, and bind, Above the ungrateful soil ? She stood before the Master's faoe, In youth's sweet beauty fair, Imbued with overy mental graoo, The bride of half a year. And took the taak her Savior gave, Unquestioning in ller love,— She only prayed that she might serve, And all her duty prove. And so the Muster weut his way. And through the inorniiiK hours, The roseate dawn, the noontide ray, She labored in His bowers. How well we marked the busy hand, And caught the word of cheer, And heard the song that ever rose, So thrilling, full, and clear! And noted too the briar-strewn path, Made free of noxious weed, And bloom, and bud, and fruitago rare, Sprang from the tiny seed ; The vines that trailed in grimy dust, Kaised up to life again, With verdant foliage nesting birds, The sun, and heavenly rain.

Aye, strew with flowers the waiting bier, And fill the hands at rest, Each bnd shall tell a soul that's won, A life that she has blest! Hilo, Hawaii, H. I. — MR. FORBES' ADDRESS. John 14:3—"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." This blessed promise of our Saviour has been fulfilled to all his beloved children from that day to this. The mansions—the abiding places—in our Heavenly Father's house are many; enough for each one, and our blessed Saviour has a mansion prepared for each one, ready and waiting for each occupant in glory. His own hands of infinite love and tenderness have prepared those mansions, not in a general and indefinite way, but with special reference to each individual. "The Lord knoweth them that are his." "He calleth his own by name, and leadeth them out," even as the shepherd does his sheep. The comings of Christ to His own are not one, or two, but many; and the sweetest, most joyful coming is when he comes to receive them to himself. Our Saviour loves to lie with His children and to have them with Him. Thus it is that he would have us walk with Him and live in Him while in this world, in order that we may dwell with Him and reign with Him forever In the heavenly home. He has gone to pre- pare us each a place for this very purpose. "That where I am, ye may be also." Ho has called home another of His dear ones, and to-day we pay our part ing tribute of affection to her memory. She was so well know to you all, her whole life was so much a part of this community, that it would lie superfluous for me to dwell particularly on all its lalxirs for the good of those with whom she came in contact. It was a life consecrated to the Master's service, for the good of the Hawaiian nation, and there are doubtless here present many of the younger generation who feel to-day that they have lost a true and devoted mother in her departure from earth. For fiftytwo years has she given "her strength, her timo, her heart's best love to the Hawaiian people and to the upbuilding of the Redeemer's Kingdom in these islands. A whole generation has passed and nearly another, and she has been permitted the joy of seeing this nation coming out of the darkness and degredation of heathenism, and rising steadily into the light and the privileges of Christian civilization. But to-day I look around upon this great audience and ask where are those who were among the early fruits of her labors? Where are the old chiefs, whore the good old men who in firmer years received instruction and Christian'light and help under her teahings, and were co-workers with her In all that was good? Alas, how few remain! Gone—all gone, except here and there a solitary one! Gone before! And now she has gone to meet them in the light and the glory of that heavenly home of which she so often told them here below, and concerning which she so often held sweet counsel with them. But two short years ago, she was permitted the rare privilege of celebrating her golden wedding, amid the congratulation of children and grandchildren, and many friends.' To-day she treads the streets of the "great city, the New Jerusalem," that city of "pure gold, like unto clear glass," where earth's dross and rubbish and alloy have all been demised away, and only the pure gold of the redeemed and sanctified nature can be permitted to enter. Her life work was well finished. She dropped in the harness. But two short weeks ago, she visited the Lunalilo Home, and her life-long love for the Hawaiian people, and interest in their welfare was greatly roused, as she-said, "Ah here is my remaining work, to do good to these aged and feeble ones"; and her soul rejoiced in prospect of that work. A day or two after, she at tended a meeting of the Women's Board of Missions for the Pacific, of which she was president. Then it was that for the first time her physical powers failed her, and that was her lastofficial service. Two days later, she attended a meeting of the newly organized Women's Christian Temperance Union, but was obliged to 9 leave liefore the close. A few days more of quiet, appearently painless, gentle slumbering away of life, and she slept sweetly in Jesus. She was not, for the Lord came and took her to himself. And to-day we look on her face and say, "Farewelldear mother." As one after another of the aged fathers and mothers who have led this Hawaiian nation through the tottering steps of its infancy up to its present position pass away, we cannot resist the feeling of national bereavement in their departure. An orphaned people may well mourn the loss as they step through the open door in answer to the Master's call, and enter the mansions waiting for them, leaving to us the priceless legacy of their example, and the testimony of their lives to the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the regeneration of our humanity. MRS. SMITH AS PRESIDENT OF THE WOMAN'S BOARD. Mrs. Smith's connection with this Board began with its beginning in 1871. The first year she was the First VlceProsident. The second year she was the Home Secretary. The third year she was again appointed First Vice-President. But when Mrs. Bingham returned to Micronesia in the summer of 1878, Mrs. Smith succeeded her as President of the Board, a position which she has most acceptably and faithfully filled for And her chair nearly twelve years. was almost never vacant. With the exception of an absence of three months, while visiting the Coast in 1878, she was never more than once or twice detained from attending our meetings. Even feebleness and suffering which would have disablad most of us, never kept her "Oh yes, I shall be from her post. there," she would say; "I have kept quiet for several days, so that I could go to the Board meeting." There was never any discussion during all these twelve years, as to who should be our next President; Mrs. Smith, of course, was the first and only choice of every one of us. This Society was the child of her advanced years, and in a very special sense the child of her love. While never neglecting in any degree, Church or Sabbath School work, or any benevolent work or labor with the natives, as her strength would permit, it was perhaps, as President of this Board that she was best known and loved by the Christians of Honolulu ; and this was the Missionary work to which she devoted the last years of her life. She was always and InThe cause to tensely a Missionary. which she early gave her life, held ever the first place In her love, and she counted It a privilege and a joy that she was thus able, in this public position, to carry on this work, which otherwise advancing years might have Impeded. Mrs. Smith was a person of great sympathy; and this, combined with her devotion to God's cause, gave her a love for all those engaged In God's work, �which overbalanced all other considerations. It gave her an especial love for all Missionary workers, who were almost more than brother and sister to her. We must all remember with pleasure the tender reception which she gave our Mlcronesian Missionary, Miss Palmer, last summer. In the name of the Woman's Board, I extend to you a glad and loving welcome. You shall have u daughter's, a sister's place in our hearts always. Give yourself to us. Confide In us with a daughter's freedom, antl we promise you all the love and aid and spmpathy it is in our power to bestow." Wo have reason to be thankful that our loved President was permitted in the last year of her life, to see this ardent wish of many years accomplished, and to thus bestow her blessing upon a Missionary of our own, going to that distant " field. Volume 43, No. 3 THE FRIEND. 10 Mrs. Smith was naturally prompt and methodical. She was always among the first to arrive at each meeting, and she rarely overlooked or forgot anything which should come l>efore us. As we came in one by one, and sat down before her, how her tlear face would beam upon each of us ! It was so plain that she had come straight from the great Fountain of Love! And as she opened with reverent hand God's word, and spoke to Him in prayer, we knew that it was only a continuation of the communion with Him which had filled her soul in preparing for the meeting. It was this intimate union of her soul with God, this habit of her life of taking all her wants to Him, and accepting His guiding, which made her the successful leader and the tender mother to us all, which she was. She was strong in faith. Perhaps we none of us realize how much we owe as a society, for the many works of bonevolence we have been able to assist, to her never-failing faith. If the object was worthy, she always knew that we could raise the money to aid it; and she often thus led us with her faith where few of us would otherwise have ventured. Mention has been made in another place, of how, several years ago, when the thought of a new Morning Star, with steam attachment, was first spoken of, while some of us were inclined to think that could never be, Mrs. Smith said: "Oh yes, we shall certainly have it—we must pray for it till we get it" Her active mind and ready wit, were particularly advantageous to her in conducting our meetings. How quickly she grasped a point, and saw in it all its bearings 1 How readily she met a thought of discouragement with some word of cheer 1 How quick she was to catch some bright thought, and reflect its light over all of us I The dullest of us could not be very dull in her bright presence. And so our meetings have always been entertaining and cheerful and social, and there has never been any of the stiffness and shrinking from "speaking in meeting," which have so frozen many meetings of the kind which we have been wont to attend In other places. These Board meetings have been schools to some of us, which she, our teacher, never dreamed of. Not the least of those traits of diameter which made Mrs. Smith so loved and acceptable a.s President of this Board, was her intense motherliness. She has said of herself that the strongest passion of her nature was her love of children. And this love extended to all over whom she was placed in miy position. Hhe seemed by right, to lie our hfd, not only by her superior years, but still more by her great motherly nature. How she took us all into her loving heart! How appreciative she was of any effort we ever made, esi>ecially in any branch of the Lord's work ! How cheering her words of sympathy were, and how her warm approval encouraged us! Yes Her kind look and nod, and dear !" How we sh.dl miss them—how we do miss them to-day ! We stretch out our hands as did Elisha toward the ascending prophet, and cry with tears "Oh, my mother! my mother!" and like Elisha, we each one pray most earnestly—" Let a double portion of thy spirit be upon mcV M. L. Whitney. " — MRS. SMITH AS A TEACHER. From the time my baby fingers could point out round O, I have always thought of Mrs. Smith as teacher, and guide, as well as friend. Seven of us, her pupils in times past, walked the old familiar way down Judd's hill, —but from her grave, instead of the schoolroom door, —and spoke of the strangeness of it all. Our old teacher's long labor of love ended, and the busy hands for the first time at rest. Some of us grown into womanhood, with life's duties and trials upon us, some still in school—all, thinking not only of school lessons, (those firm foundation stones in the "temple of knowledge" for the laying of which she was so often and so justly praised)—but also of the earnest life lessons. As tenderly as she taught the baby lips to say their A. B. C.'s, just so patiently and tenderly she led tho baby feet along the "narrow way." Every quarrel on the play-ground, every lesson and song, all made to tench in some form, "the old, old story." Thirty-two years of teaching given to us Island children. Some of us were her pupils for ten, and twelve years, and upon her golden wedding, came loving words of greeting and gratitude, from far and near—across the seas, and beyond the mountains—each one written by a former pupil. Truly, we thought, as we heard them tell of her good works, these consecrated years of teaching, were among the most blessed, and only God can measure the abundance of the harvest, as children's children shall scatter broad-cast, the seed of her sowing. As we looked at her lying calm in death, after her faithful stewardship— her life with its bitter and sweet," its many hard trials, and its pleasant places, ended forever-—came thoughts of what she had awakened to, out of that sleep. Was she sitting at Jesus's feet, as we sat ut hers, learning glorious lessons of life eternal 1 Yes, I like to think so. And, our dear old teacher, though your lioys and girls will never have your loving greeting or word of sympathy again, we are glad you are at rest. And because you have fallen asleep in Jesus," we will strive more earnestly to follow your teachings, and be Christian men, and women. So that it may be said of us, as it is of you—•" Well done good and faithful servant." "He that goeth forth with weeping, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with Nellie E. Fuller. him." " MRS. SMITH'S CONNECTION WITH THE STRANGERS' FRIEND SOCIETY. Among tho various forms of Christian work which have occupied the life of our gifted friend, none perhaps interested her more than that connected with the Strangers' Friend Society. Formed as it was at a time when imperative need called for some organization by which the destitute strangers thrown upon our shores could be systematically cared for, her ready sympathies responded to the call. She was present at the first gathering ; accepted the office of Secretary, and acted in that capacity to the close of her life, a period of thirtytwo years. In this as in every branch of her work she truly obeyed the Master's injunction, Occupy till I come." During these latter years, Mrs. Smith has been mote actively engaged in the details of the society work than earlier, when schtxil and family duties pressed more closely. The hospital, the sick bed and the resort of the degraded, can all testify to her faithful zeal ane indefatigable effort to relieve distress, succor the helpless and reclaim the erring. Who but God can toll and what but eternity reveal tho results of such a life ? But It Is finished, rounded offand she is gone. We do not see her, her place is vacant and we are stricken ; still we rejoice in her peaceful and delightful release ; we rejoice in the easy transition from this life to the other. She is with her Saviour whom she loved and served all these years; with her children and grandchildren who have passed on, with the dear old mother who lived on Into the nineties, and with hundreds of friends whom she knew and loved here below, and who are now in the ranks of the redeemed. We wish her joy in it all, and pray that her example may incite us who remain, to like faithfulness and unwearied effort. Mrs. H. M. Whitney. " �March, 188,5. MRS. SMITH'S CONNECTION WITH THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH AND SABBATH SCHOOL. As a leader in many branches of Christian work, Ms. Smith has been spoken of this nftenoon. There remains another most tender and loving connection, that of the Bethel Church and Sabhath School. The same ship that brought Mr. and Mrs. Smith to these islands brought material to be used in the construction of this chapel, which still remains as part of the Bethel. Mrs Smith's interests have ever been closely connected with the Bethel Church. During the years that she was particularly occupied in work among Hawaiians, she was, socially, most intimately connected with Dr. Damon, then pastor of the Bethel, and his family. On the occasion of the Golden Wedding in 1882, Dr. Damon, said "For 40 years our lives run parallel, and our work has been in the same calling; love and confidence have charactuized our intercourse with cnch other. We have rejoiced in each others successes and sympathized in each others trials—especially has this Ireen true in the deep family bereavements, which each has been called to sustain." This Ismd of union, still exists, for when the spark of life went out, and while loving hands were bearing what we knew as earthly of Mrs Smith to rest in Nuuanu cemetery, Dr. Damon was lying upon his dying lied, unconscious that his old-time friend had passed over the river before him. One week later, he also was laid to rest in the same valley cemetery. Together they sing "the song of the redeemed," around the throne of God, while two mourning households linger here a little longer. Her warm heart opened naturally to the sailors and strangers, who came for longer or shorter time, to this Church There in the early and congregation. days, her children were brought SablHtth after Sabbath, to listen to preaching in their mother tongue, and as they grew to mature years, they gave very efficient aid in Christian work. This thought was in stilled: "Do all you can to help the Bethel prayer meeting, choir Sabbath School, Ac." Thus she upheld the pustor in his work. Some years ago, Dr. Smith having left the pastorate of Kaumakapili Church her attendance at the Bethel became constant We shall all miss her familiar face in our congregation* With heart and life overflowing with love to God, her testimony for the Master, was often heard in our social meetings. Her zeal was great during the revival meetings held by Mr. Hallenbeckin 1881, and many were led to Christ through her earnest entreaties. We who used to meet with her in those ladies, afternoon prayer meetings know how she would plead for souls, even by name In many cases. God was very good to her and gave her answers to her prayers, so that many now think of her as their spiritual mother in Christ. From her own rich experience at that time she often spoke in the THE FRIEND. 11 Wednesday evening meeting, whereby class and listening to her earnestpresenta- all our hearts were full, and we were quickened te more active work, through her words and example. During the recent temperance and evangelistic work, she lalxired as actively as her strength would allow, saying, "I will do all that 11 woman of 75 years can do." She prayed most fervently for a full outpouring nf God's Spirit upon this community, and rejoiced greatly over some who came out on the Lord's side. Alxmt a year ago, as you all know, our Pastor presented his resignation to this Church. This weighed heavily upon Mrs. Smith's mind. Were we to be left alone in our weakness? The first Sabhath in March a notice was read, asking all ladies of the congregation to assemble at the vestry on Monday afternoon. Wo went, wondering for what! Then she laid liefore us, how much we needed prayer to (iod in this, our emergency, that He would lift Hie dark cloud and send us a man after His own heart to minister to us. Some of you will rememlier the prayers that went up from that little room as week after week we gathered the re. How closely our hearts were drawn together and what a comforting hour it was! Mrs. Smith was never absent except when detained by sickness, and that was seldom, for she often came when weak and suffering. When the faith of some was weak and trembling, she took strong hold of God's promises and led us upward and onward. Is it not in answer to those prayers that we have been so blessed during the past six months? She welcomed our present Pastor and his wife most cordially and a warm Christian affection had grown up between them. On the first Monday of the New Year she led the Ladle's prayer meeting in a very solemn and impressive manner. The next week she was again present, and urged upon an inquiring one that she she should "put her trust in the Saviour; who doeth all things well." The next week, from her sick bed, she sent us a loving message through the elder Mrs Thrum. Now she is gone. She loved this little meeting, as a mother loves her child. Let the Ladies prayer meeting at the Bethel, on Monday afternoon, be a lasting, living memorial of Mrs. Smith's life among us. Closely connected with all her other efforts has been her work for the Bethel Having a ready and Sabbath School. peculiar gift for communicating with and instucting others, Mrs. Smith was a most For many acceptable Bible teacher. years she was personally connected with the school, first in charge of the infant class, afterward of a class of young girls, many of whom have now, in turn be come teachers, while others have gone up higher. For several years she has conducted a Bible class for adults, on compossd Sabbath morning. This chiefly of ladles, but I have often seen men who, as strangers, had found their way into tho room, gathered into her tion of the truth as found In God's word. No doubt much seed was thus scattered abroad which will bring forth fruit in Janunry 11th was her last due season. morning at the Sabbath School. By request she came into the room when the scholars were gathered for dosing exercises and made the dosing prayer. These were her last words to the dear Sabbath School children whom she loved so dearly. While thus we all, Pastor and tieople, aged and young, friends and family, miss her from our midst, may we each and every one be incited by her memory to do more for the Master's cause; that whether it shall lie as the unfolding bud, or as the rijiened sheaf of wheat, that any of us are called to end our pilgrimage, we too may be ready when our summons shall come. << Blessed are they that do His commandment, that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city." Mrs. S. E. Bishop. MRS. SMITH AS A CHRISTIAN. Dear Friends: We have assembled in this place to-day to unite in calling to mind precious memories connected with our sister, Mrs. Ixiwell Smith. We read in the good twok that after Dorcas died, many who loved her came together to mourn for her. They recounted to each other her good deeds, displayed the evidences of her love, lal»r and self-denial, for the poor people around her. Did not our Lord show that he approved of this memorial meeting? He gave Peter power to restore their kind friend to life. Our blessed Jesus commanded his disciples to love one another. We are thankful for this command; thankful that it is a duty as well as a privilege ; thankful for tfte example He gave us when Lazarus died, of his love and sympathy for the afflicted. This love does not die. It reaches into the world beyond. We have in remembrance the names of many dear sisters who have been fellow workers with us. Their faces are seen no more on earth. But they appear to the eyes of our minds when we think of them or speak their names. We shall not forget them. Mother Thurston, Mother Andrews, Mrs. Judd, Mrs. Chamberlain, Mrs. E. O. Hall, Miss Ogden, Mrs. Fidelia Coan, Mrs. Wetmore, Mrs. Bond, and some others; now we have another dear name to place with those in memory's cabinet —the one we speak of to-day. She was a friend of this nation, and proved it by her works. For over fifty years she dwelt among this people doing good. She was no half-way Christian. She threw into her work the whole energies of her being. A large, warm heart was hers, and she had room in it for oh! ad many I Not only her kindred, her children (no mother ever loved her children more!), not only fellow Christians (those she loved i-rdrntly, by whatever �12 na mo they were called), but ; !.e had a warm place in her heart for theiittiiite.j, the ignorant, the degraded, the heathen; "Christ loved them," she said, "He died for them! they do not know him! I love them, and long that they should come to Him !" "Love of children," said Mrs. Smith, "is the strongest passion of my nature." We who knew her understand this. She was gifted with a kind of magnetism that drew children to her and made it easy for her to teach them. No child passed by her unnoticed. They all belonged tn her she said. No wonder that it was a "glad day to her when she first gathered a group of Hawaiian lioys and girls around r.ei." Teaching was work that she loved, and for which she was especially prepared. Mr. and Mrs. Smith landed on these shores, May Ist, 1833. They had a long passage round Cape Horn of 150 days, without sight of land. In those early days the Missionaries on these Islands assembled in Honolulu once in a year, somewhat as the Jews used to go up to Jerusalem. It was called the General Meeting. They assembled every day in the old school-house, for mission business. Here they read reports of their work, discussed difficulties; decided on plans of work for the coming year; books that were needed, and who should write them;translations, printing,sehools, fields to be occupied, and who should occupy them; and above all, they united solemnly in seeking aid from on high and a blessing on their work. By this Association Mr. and Mrs. Smith were located on Molokai as assistants to Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock. They were to teach school and learn the language. Their dwelling was a small grass hut; as it proved very uncomfortable, they built a cottage of stone. There was an old heiau near by tijat furnished the material, and natives assisted in the work of construction. Their bouse being completed, their work was pro grossing, hut Mrs. Smith's health was failing, and her condition became so alarming that after one year she was brougnt to Honolulu, und the physicians decided that she must live nearer medical aid. They were then stationed at Ewa, a new station, about 10 miies from Honolulu. There Mr. Smith erected a house and school-house, and commenced a church. Work for the people began with vigor. After two years trial, during which time Mrs. Smith suffered much, physicians again interfeivd, and our friends were brought to Honolulu that Mrs. Sought have continued medical treatment. Rev. Mr. Bishop was appointed to take the station at Ewa. Mr. Smith took charge of the schools of Honolulu. Mrs. Smith did what she could reclining on her couch. Native women visited her and she used her opportunities with them. For six months she taught the little Prince Alexander, giving him his first lessons in English and lessons from the bible. In 1837 teachers arrived, after which THE FRIEND. Mr. antl Mrs. Smith were located in the lower part of the city, called Kaumakapili, where mission work seemed especially needed. Again they commenced anew with unabated enthusiasm and zeal. Mrs. Smith's health had improved, and she was delighted with the prospect of work, real work for the lower class of natives. This was the commencement of a long term of labor fur the blessed Master. They took it up with avidity. The first place of worship was a schoolhouse, with a large lariai built outside of it. People flocked around them, and often 2000 persons were presnt to hear the Gospel. Our sister, though still in delicate health, found many ways to help in the work. Hundreds of women came to see the new teacher; she gave them kind greetings of sympathy. Sometimes they brought their infants and young children, and received instruction and advice about training and caring for them, or medicine if they were sick. Native teachers were employed, and it gave her delight to give them instruction to tit them to influence, govern and instruct in the best way. She organized female pniyer meetings, which she always attended and took charge of, if possiblee, and from which she derived much strength and courage. She appointed women in whom she had eotideiiee to go to out-districts, conduct duct meetings, visit the sick, and report to her such as needed especial help. After laboring and preaching under the lanai for two years, Mr. Smith and his people decided to build a church. Their people were all poor. It was a large building that was planned. Mrs. Smith took hold of this work with energy. She called the women together to contrive ways to raise money, as a large sum would be Deeded. They all wanted to help. Some who had work would save a part of their wages. Others were taught to braid hats and mat bags; these were sold, the former to native's, and the latter to a sugar Hunter on Kauai. Men, women and children joined heaitily in the work of building the new church. The walls were to be of sun dried bricks, or adobes. They were made by the men, the moulds lieing prepared by Mr. Smith. Lime was needed to plaster the walls. Tiie. natives brought coral from the sea, and burned it for this purpose by their teacher's instructions. The people had willing hearts and labored gladly. It was to be their church, in which they would worship God. It would lie impossible to speak of the lnmy tilings that our sister found to do for the peopie of Kaumakapili. Besides giving religious instruction, home life, cleanliness, dress, economy, care of time, the decencies and common things of life, all called for thought and lessons from her. In 185i»Mrs. Smith consented to commence an evening school for some promising young men (Hawaiians) who applied to her for lessons in English. Volume 43, No. 3 found them docile and appreciaAfter teaching them one year she reluctantly gave it up, as this night work was too fatiguing after the labor of the day. She had much comfort in these pupils and some of them afterwards filled positions of usefullness with credibility and faithfulness. Mrs. Smith was teaching at this time aa English day school for Hawaiian children. In 1856 this was made a Government school. It was the first English common school taught on these islands.- June 1854 to 1860 it was a popular flourishing school of 80 or more pupils. In 1860 the Government organized the Royal school and Mrs. Smith was invited to be its principal. This she declined, gave up her school and advised her pupils to go to theRoyal School. After this Mrs. Smith taught for many years the children of some of her friends and neighbors. One of those pupils will give some reminiscences of that school to-day. Mrs. Smith was a Christian worker as well as teacher. She was ready and helpful whenever and wherever duty called her. Others will speak of her as a member of The Womans' Board, the Stranger's Friend Society and of the Bethel Union Church and Sabbath School. But whatever other work she engaged in her sympathies and best efforts were for the Hawaiians. Much was done by her for their sick. During those dreadful months when the smnll-pox raged in Honolulu, this father and mother labored constantly for this poor suffering people. Mr. Smith left home in the morning and sometimes did not return till midnight. For three months fire .scarcely went out in Mrs. Smith's kitchen. Soup, rice, pia and tea were prepared daily in large quant'tics for distribution among their people. When the awful disease subsided, 500 from their roll-call answered they were numbered with the not dead! Those were sorrowful days! Mr. and Mrs. Smith had other sorrows in their Mission at Kamakajiili. Their home so delightful to them, where they had spent so many years of joy and sorrow was burned to the ground and never rebuilt. Many dear friends and relatives in the home-land, left for the far country and their loving, cheering letters ceased to come. Seven little lives, heart treasures, were given them, but five were recalled to be educated in heaven. They left living arms that ached from emptiness! But I heir severest trials came when some whom they had loved, and for whom they had prayed and hoped, left the good and returned to theirevil ways. One consolation was always theirs. They could go and tell Jesu*! They found in Him help and comfort at all times. Our precious friend has gone to her rest. All her toils and anxieties are over. She left no word of farewell for ys, but she has left lessons for each of us. Her example seems to say to us, These are days of opportunities. Watch for them. She tive. — " �March, 1885. Do not neglect one; neglected, the same one never returns." Let us together praise the Lord to-day for all his loving care and help from our sister during the many years of her sojourn in these Isles of the Sea. Juliette M. Cooke. BOARD HAWAIIAN HONOLULU, H. I. This pa<j*;e is devoted Ut the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, und the Editor, appointed by the Board, is responsible for its contents. A. 0. Forbes, 13 THE FRIEND. Editor. OUR DUTY TO THE JAPANESE. Nine hundred and forty-eight Japanese have just landed on our shores, the large majority of whom come as laborers and household servants. We owe it to them to give them such opportunities of Christian instruction and education as may be in our ixiwer to give. At the suggestion and request of the Hawaiian Board, in a letter sent by the Corresponding Secretary to Japan as long ago as last September, a young and intelligent Christian Japanese who is preparing for the ministry has come with them. A supply of Japanese Scriptures and tracts has also Ixjen received from Rev. Mr. Loomis, the Agent of the American Bible Society in Japan. Consul Irwin, who has come with this lot of immigrants, has shown a • commendable interest in their moral and spiritual aiding in every way the advancement of these objects so far as was within his power. i'lie Honolulu Y. M. C. A. have tendered the use of their hall for religious meetings of the Japanese on Sundays, and it has been accepted by the Hawaiian Board with thanks for the generous courtesy thus siiown. Arrangements will be made to have a service held there for the Japanese in Honolulu each Sunday. The Board are also expecting to start an evening school at once for such of them as may desire to be taught English. We commend these objects to the generosity and Christian cooperation of the community. THE CHINESE. True Christianity is as broad as the world. It embraces in its beneficent provisions, all races, and all classes of men. And we hold that this grand principle should govern the views and the daily life of every professing Christian. The fact that it often does not, and that so many who profess to believe in Christianity, and to be in cordial sympathy with its spirit and its objects, nevertheless act and speak in a manner inconsistent with those professions, only shows the imperfection of man. In our editorial for February, we quoted with hearty endorsement, a noble, manly Christian, utterance from a journalist of natioi'"' reputation and of high stauding, in to the Chinese problem." We stated no "conclusions" of our own on either the political, social, . " or economic features of the question. When therefore our fellow editor of the Saturday Press launches out in rather wild tirade against what he is pleased to term our conclusions on the subject of admitting unrestricted Chinese immigration," we are somewhat curious lo know whence he derived his information as to our views on that point. And all the more so as the views he impliedly attributes to us happen to be wide of the; mark. We are well aware that there are* many serious and difficult questions connected with the political and economic sides of this question. And we do not undertake to deliver any oracular utterances Uiereanent, or to enter the lists in the controversy. We simply recognise the fact that the Chinaman is a brother samj that he has a soul to be saved as well as any other man; that he is here in large number, and 'hat we who profess the doctrines and principles of Christianity havea moral responsibility laid upon us by these very facts; a duty which we owe to the Chinaman in common with every other human being; that of endeavoring to do him good. We hold further, that if there be danger to trade or to social morals from bis presence in such numbers, (and we do not deny such danger) there can be no greater safeguard against it than the bringing, to bear upon it the transforming and elevating power of a true, warmhearted Christianity.

An item has appeared in the papers of this city about the visit of a British ship of war to Apemami, and the penalty inflicted upon the King of that island for his share in the trouble at Nonouti last year. A little explanation may place the affair in a somewhat different light from that in which it appeared to a British captain unacquainted, doubtless, with the language, and probably receiving his information from doubtful sources.

Many of the inhabitants were slain by him, and many subjugated. Many others, to the number of one hundred canoe loads, fled to Kuria and Apemama, and called on King Binoka to protect them. He accordingly collected a force of his own people, and went to Nonouti to quell the disturbance anil restore order. He landed, attacked Nimatu, the pseudo Kalakaua, vanquished his party and slew Nimatu himself, and thus became master of the island. His treatment of the vanquished party was in accordance with savage custom, "thongh not in accordance with our ideas of civilized warfare. For this he is visited by a British ship of war and severely punished as though he had been guilty of a wanton act, whereas he was only doing a kindness and a real service to the people of Nonouti by rescuing them from their oppressor,and that too at their own request. We regret that the commander of that ship of war should have been led by what he may have supposed to be sufficient evidence, into the commission of an act which must have appeared to the King Binoka and to the people themselves an unjust act, and one which will not tend to exait their confidence in the paternal Justice and kindness of the English nation. CAPTAIN J. M. OAT, Sr. Ftom the Memorial Address, by Rev. S. C. Oggel, in the Bethel Union Church, Feb. 25th, 1985. My friends, In the Providence of God, this Church is again called to give up one of its members. To Brother Oat, having fought the battle of life and run the race, came the voice of God: "Come up higher,"—and knowing that our Father doeth all things well, it behoves us to say, "Thy will be done." The following is a brief account of the history of his life and of the leadings of God with himself and family. Captain Oat was born at Philadelphia, September 25th, 1809, and was therefore in his 7'ith year. He was married to Miss Elizabeth R. Crocker, December 17, 1884, In New York City, by the Rev. Mr. Chase. For IS years after their marriage Mr. Oat "followed the sea," casion lieing the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, at which over two hundred guests were present and regrets for unavoidable absence were received from many others. The event was a most pleasant one to the aged couple and their children, and to thecontinuous stream of visitors that came to offer their congratulations. For half a century these two bad been united as one and had together borne the sorrows unci shared the joys of life. Yes, we rejoiced that evening with parents and children in the goodness and faithfulness of (Jotl to this family. Surely His blessing, and comfort and pence were there. The occasion was one that will fill a place in our memories for many years to come. To this it gives me great pleasure to add, that on the 2d day of October, 1881, Mr. Oat made public profession of his faith in Christ and united with this Church, "lie that confessedh me before men," the Muster says, "him will I confess before my Father and his holy angels." And therefore to you, the companion of his many years, I would say, 1'Be comforted." Having been together for so many years you will miss him in days to come, but trust in God, and in an ever present Savior, who is "the same yesterday and to-day and forever." Jesus has said, "I will not leave you comfortless." And rejoice in the promsies of God of re-union in the better land and home on high. And to you his children I would say, recognize with gratitude to God that you carry to his resting place to-day an honorable and honored man. For such was your father in this community. Satisfied that you have done all in your power to please him while he lived and especially to make his last days comfortable, submit to-day to the will of Him, whom it hath pleased to take your father unto Himself. Shall we all this day, realizing that death may any day call for you ami me, heed the loving voice of God, "Son, daughter, give me thine heart?" Captain Oat was present in this Church on the Bth day of this month, the day after God took Dr. Damon from us, and we were here that Sabbath afternoon to hear God speak, look at the remains, and then carry them to their last resting-place. My friends, you are here to-day. Who of us will be called next? Oh, God alone knowsl Are we ready? Not all become old. Human life must close. I, this afternoon commend to you all Jesus Christ the Great Physician, and the University of Michigan. Mrs. Mngoon was a member of the Bethel Union Church. She was a consecrated, happy Christian, faithful in all her relations. Blessed are the dead who die in tho Lord. Yea, saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors, and their works follow them." The funeral service was held from the Bethel Union Church, E. C. Oggel, the " pastor, officiating. To the husband and son we extend our sympathy in their bereavement.
