Our columns in June recorded the public satisfaction felt in the re-election of this gentleman as President of the Legislature. It is so very soon and suddenly our lot to join in the general mourning for his decease. Mr. Wilder was an experienced and sagacious leader in public affairs. He was successful and enterprising in business, but especially honored for the noble public spirit which made his enterprise tributary to the public welfare, as in the Marine Railway, the Steamship Company, the Kohala Railway, the projected Hamakua and Hilo Railway, and his excellent Volcano route. His superior business ability was habitually directed in lines contributing to the development of our resources and the general welfare. Mr. Wilder was greatly honored for integrity and generosity. All feel that a heavy loss has been sustained in his death. THE M. E. JAPANESE MISSION. The statements by Dr. Hyde with the accompanying correspondence on our seventh page, give the facts concerning the establishing here of a branch of the San Francisco Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church to the Japanese. This has been arranged with the Hawaiian Board —who were prosecuting the work with inadequate means—in the most cordial and fraternal spirit on both sides, and with the most glad and hearty welcome on our part to this grand reinforcement of our Christian work at a time of so great straits. These dear brethren of the Methodist Church have come and given a wonderfully efficient help to the Lord's work in Hawaii at just the time when we were most in clanger of discouragement from the great increase of work, and our lack of men and means. As may be supposed, we had not looked to our Methodist brethren as a source of possible aid. The Lord of the vineyard has chosen his own way of sending relief. They have come, filled with the spirit of Gospel work, and have been favored with remarkable success. They come, not as rivals, but as helpers. One great source of satisfaction in this new organization is in the practical carrying out of the principle of Christian fellowship between sister denominations. Nothing can be more cordial and fraternal than the whole action and spirit on both sides in this matter. Rev. M. C. Harris, Superintendent of the San Francisco Mission, has greatly endeared himself to us in these respects, as well as by his inspiring and affectionate Christian zeal. Another and even deeper satisfaction is in the marked manifestation of the Divine Spirit's power in connection with the labors of Rev. Mr. Miyama. the leader of the new mission. This evidencing appeared in a marked manner in the experiences in the household of The the Japanese Consul-General. were heard echoes of these experiences by many in the testimonies given by the Consul and his household when examined preparatory to baptism.

He had welcomed Mr. Miyama to his house, and under the influence of his sweet and earnest Christian intelligence the seeds of faith began to grow in the Consul's mind and in that of his cultivated and interesting lady. They became in a few months devout and prayerful Christians. Within a few weeks the Divine Power seemed to descend upon the whole household; and every secretary and attache- became deeply moved and converted to Christ. Every domestic servant was also converted. The testimonies of these dearfriendshasbeen profoundly affecting.

But we do think- part of his letter; we were governed in one on which we all cheerfully and that in doing so, they are bound to our belief of Mormon error by other conSEVENTH-DAY-ISM. fraternally agree to differ. The duty of baptism by immersion is one for which a large body of beloved and honored Evangelical churches are strenuous; and immersion itself has, without doubt, been extensively practised in the churches from the beginning. Their other peculiarities of teaching do not, as far as we know, impair the clearness and cogency with which they hold and teach the great doctrines of the blessed Gospel of Jesus Christ. Why should they come here to make war upon us? Why do they not gladly and fraternally work with us? We have religious adversaries enough, full of zeal and of confidence in their own standards. Only the Lord of the harvest knows why still others are permitted to come and in his name to attack the churches first planted here, and so blessed and honored by Divine gifts and fruits of salvation, poor as their service has been. "The Sabbath is, by God's command, the seventh day, and not the first." This is the dogma with which these Christian brothers assail us, declaring us to be apostate churches, because in observing the first day as Sabbath, we thereby violate a.sacred ordinance of God, and are rebellious and disobedient. Our well-known apology for the observance of the first day is, that it is the "Lord's Day" of the New Testament —that it commemorates the Lord's Resurrection—that it is the day which he himself chose and consecrated byrepeated meetings with his disciples that by apostolic testimony, it was of special observance in the church. Add to this that the Didachc, or Teaching of the Twelve Apostles (a church manual in general use near the end of the first century, as all leading scholars agree) expressly designates the Lord's Day, ho kuriakos kurioii, as the day of Christian assembling and worship. low all this may go for nothing as lority with our zealous brethren inst the old Mosaic specification, 'the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." All the above records — I exercise some modesty. If they are siderations. So we have no doubt that really in the right, it is certainly a most some of these Seventh-day friends might extraordinary thing.

We think that the great majority of our working people—and there are few others of us—want a weekly day of rest from labor, and are agreed that it can only be secured by legal enactment. There is no doubt that the great majority, irrespective of religion, are perfectly agreed on Sunday as the most available day, for many preponderating reasons. We think that the majority can hardly be charged with injustice if they refuse to admit claims to exemption from this wholesome law, which, if granted, would go far to break up the useful working of that law. A man might conceive it his religious duty to be dressed in bed and go undressed in the day time. But any inconvenience resulting in his relations to society would have to be charged to his own singularity, and not to the injustice of his neighbors. We are sorry for the inconvenience to which our Seventh-day friends find themselves subject. We cordially wish for them a better understanding of God's will, and more moderation in asserting their own opinions and rights to the detriment of so beneficent an institution as the Christian Sabbath. SERMON BY REV. T. L. GULICK AT THE FUNERAL OF MRS. M. A. ALEXANDER. Haiku, Mali, July 1, 1888. At evening time it shall be light. —Zee. 14:7. This was very true ol our dear Mother Alexander. After a long and bright day, filled with love and usefulness, there was a serene and beautiful evening time, in which a mild radiance shone about her, filling those who knew her with thoughts of heaven, and bright anticipations of the greater glory which she was soon to behold. When she so suddenly left us, it almost seemed as though we could see the pearly gates and the golden streets, where she had entered to join her companion in the toils of earth, the innumerable company of angels and the spirits of the just made perfect. She had but little of this earth's goods but what a rich legacy she has left, no, only to her children, but to us all. Its worth is above all rubies and precious stones. She was so retiring that only those who were intimate with her were conscious of the full strength of her character; but, who that knew her has not felt the warm pulse of her loving heart? God is love; and that divine love had so entered into her that it seemed to have taken possession of her whole being, and to irradiate with light and warmth all who came within the circle of her influence. It was this flame of fathers of New England, to sail from By a providential ordering, our theme New Bedford November l'i>, 1831, to at the last prayer-meeting she attended, spend their lives, far from home and and which she afterwards said she enkindred, in lifting degraded savages out joyed very much, was " Heaven, our of heathen darkness.

O. FORBES. By the Australia, July 21th, was received the very surprising and afflicting intelligence that our beloved and efficient Corresponding Secretary, the Reverend Anderson Oliver Forbes, very suddenly departed this life at Colorado Springs, early on Sunday, July Bth. Mr. Forbes had been enjoying his sojourn exceedingly at this famous health resort, and had apparently made line progress towards the recovery of his long-impaired health. His appetite and digestion had been better than for nearly two years past. He was eagerly planning for Mrs. Forbes to join him in Colorado, as she was much in need of rest and change, and was already embarking for California. This was not to be. After an active day on Friday, visiting at Col. Ue la Vergne's, he found his head somewhat affected on Saturday, apparently tending to sick-headache. It did not seem sufficiently serious to ask medical aid which was at hand. At nine that evening, he retired as usual. Not long after, a lady inmate of the house heard him moaning, and entering his room, found him unconscious upon his bed. Medical aid was at once obtained, but he passed away in the early morning, without a return of consciousness. Congestion of the brain was the immediate cause of death. Col. Dc la Vergne and family showed the utmost kindness. Mr. S. T. Alexander of Oakland telegraphed to have the remains embalmed to await the wishes of Mrs. Forbes who landed in San Francisco on the 10th. By her decision the funeral was proceeded with at the place of decease, she lacking the strength to go on thither, although furnished every possible aid thereto by the kindness of Mr. C. M. Cooke. Mr. Forbes was the eldest son of Rev. Cochran Forbes, missionary at Kaawaloa, Hawaii, where he was born April 14,1833. His earlier schooling was at Punahou under Rev. D. Dole. He went to the United States with his parents on their return thither in 1848, and in the following year united with the church. He graduated at Washington College, Pa., in 1853,and at Princeton Theological Seminarj-in 1858, receiving Presbyterian ordination as an Evangelist at Philadelphia May 5, 1858, and returned to the islands as a missionary of the A. B. C. F. M., via Panama, in September of that year. He was at once stationed at Kaluaaha, Molokai, as successor to the deceased Father Hitchcock, into whose wonderfully successful labors Mr. Forbes man into the Hawaiian work since Mr. entered with remarkable efficiency and iForbes in 1858, and Dr. Hyde in 1877. zeal, having already an idiomatic famil- [Hence the present deficiency.

When the last one in - hoved �Volume 46, No. B.J the Consulate to yield his heart to Christ, made the surrender, there was such rejoicing as stirred every heart to its depths; and the next day the rejoicings were renewed as those associated with Rev. Mr. Miyama gathered at his house to hear the story. Rev. Mr. Harris, Superintendent of the Japanese Mission in San Francisco, had come to Honolulu on the steamer arriving July *th. The new converts were eager to make some public acknowledgement of their faith. They wished to be baptized by Rev. Mr. Miyama. Arrangements were accordingly made for a Union Consecration Service in the Central Union Church, Sunday afternoon, July 15th. After brief addresses by Rev. Mr. Harris, Rev. Dr. Hyde and M. Taro Ando, the ordinance of Baptism was administered in Japanese by Rev. Mr. Miyama, and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper by Rev. Dr. Beckwith and Mr. Harris. The persons baptized were M. Taro Ando, the Japanese Consul, Mrs. Ando, four attaches of the Consul, two domestic servants, also a woman and her child from Mr. Miyama's household. There were present and participants in the Communion, Chinese, Japanese, Gilbert Islanders, Hawaiians, English, uniting with members of the Central Union Church in this unique, impromptu, impressive service. The coming of Rev. Mr. Miyama was at the desire of the Japanese Christians in San Francisco, who deputed him to come and look after the religious welfare of the 4,500 Japanese laborers, that have been brought to these islands. It is hoped that his work may take on some permanent form, and it was with a view to arrange for this that Rev. Mr. Harris came to Honolulu. The correspondence which follows shows how satisfactorily this has been arranged: Hon. A. F. Judd, Pres. Hawaiian Board. Dear Brother:—-The attention of the Japanese Christians of San Francisco, belonging to the Japanese Mission, was first directed to the Japanese laborers on the Hawaiian Islands about two An earnest desire was years ago. awakened at that time to do something for their countrymen, but owing to business reasons no steps were taken. The interest however continued to grow, and finally took shape in the visit of Rev. K. Miyama in September, 1887, the object of which was to ascertain their condition, and if anything could be done for them. Upon his return he reported that Rev. Dr. Hyde, Mr. F. Damon, and many other friends of the Japanese, had already taken steps to Christianize the people, but that they were embarrased for want of trained Japanese workers, and recommended that we send one or two young men to the Islands to work under the Hawaiian Board. While the matter was under consideration, letters were received from Messrs. Irwin, Ando, and Damon, urging the immediate return of Mr. Miyama 67 THE FRIEND. to continue the work so auspiciously grace that has been going on during the begun, Mr. Irwin offering to meet all past few months, culminating in the financal outlay necessary. As Mr. Mi- Union Consecration Services in the yama had been appointed to the Mission Central Union Church on Sunday afterin San Francisco, he was not at liberty noon, July 15th. We have been devoutly to respond to the proposition made to thankful that there was such a man as him, and in order to return to the Isl- Rev. K. Miyama here to urge forward ands and prosecute the work, he must and direct the work. We have been either resign from the ministry in the glad to welcome Mr. Shimidzu, Mr. M. E. Church or be appointed by one of Ukai and Mr. Sunamoto, your helpers our superintendents and go out as an authorized representativeoi'the Methodist Mission. We hesitated at taking the latter step, and it was decided that I should come and confer with the Hawaiian Board before taking any action; but this was found to be impracticable, as I could not leave at the time, owing to illness of my wife, and other reasons. Accordingly after much prayful consideration, it was decided to send Mr. and Mrs. Miyama, and Mr. Ukai to begin the work at once in connection with the Japan Mission of San Francisco. These workers are now on the field and ready to go forward and give the Gospel to their countrymen, in cooperation with the Christian people of these Islands. While for many reasons, we should like to unite in forming a purely independent organization among the Japanese here, yet we are not at liberty to do so while sustaining our present relationship to our Conference and Missionary Society. We recognize the devoted and successful labors of Rev. Dr. Hyde, Mr. Damon, and many others in behalf of the Japanese; and we desire that they continue to cooperate with these Japanese toilers in the common work of the Master. We do not seek to. magnify denominational distinctions, but to strive together with you in the Gospel in saving men. I desire to express my profound appreciation of the cordial and catholic spirit that you and all the brethren have manifested in the conferences held upon this subject; and I earnestly pray that we may all be so led by the Holy Spirit, that the cause of the Lord, so precious to us all, may not only suffer no injury, but be greatly promoted. Yours fraternally, M. C. Harris, Supt. Japan Mission, San Francisco. Board of Hawaiian Evangelical Association. Rev. M. C. Harris, Sup't of the Japanese Mission, San Francisco. The undersigned, Dear Brother: members of the special committee of the Hawaiian Board on Chinese and Japanese Evangelization, have been instructed to reply to your communication of the 24th instant, read at the meeting of the Board last evening. It has given us great pleasure to meet you, and to unite with you as occasion offered, in religious meetings and exercises with the Japanese resident in Honolulu. We have rejoiced with you also in the incidents and the developments of the wonderful work of divine — in the San Francisco Mission, who have felt moved to come to the islands and undertake Christian work among their countrymen resident here. We most heartily reciprocate your desire for some possible organic union outside of any lines of denominational nomenclature. But we fully appreciate your loyalty to the Church in which you hold recognized official positions, and your reluctance to compromise yourselves or others by any action inconsis tent therewith. In view of acknowledg ed difficulties in uniting differing ecclesiastical polities, we yet believe with you that cooperation in some form is both desirable and practicable. Taking this view of the circumstances in which we find ourselves, we most heartily respond to your expressed deWe welsire for such cooperation. come yourselves, Mr. Miyama, and any who may be hereafter associated in your mission to the Japanese in Hawaii nei. We have enjoyed working together in various forms of Christian activity and usefulness. We assume no right or form of direction or control in the conduct of the work, which is distinctly re cognized as originating from the Japanese Mission in San Francisco, and con ducted under its auspices. In whatever way our Christian people, outside of your ecclesiastical organization, haying been accustomed to work undenominationally, may render aid or comfort, we are ready to unite with you in active efforts for the one great object of the working Church, the glory of God in the salvation of souls, and particularly the lifting up of these Japanese to the privileges and responsibilities of the Christian life of faith and hope and love. We understand that you leave Rev. Mr. Miyama at the head of this work, and with him we shall be pleased to confer, as occasion may arise, in regard to the time, place, or method of such Christian work as may seem to him desirable and feasible for any of our people to do. We assure you that any and all will most gladly and heartily do whatever they can to help on the good work so auspiciously begun. May the Lord of the Harvest send forth more laborers and give abundant increase to all work for the common Master. Yours in Christian fellowship and C. M. Hyde, work. S. E. Bishop, E. G. Beckwith.

Mr. George Williams, the founder of the Young Men's Christian Association, is expected to be present at the World's Convention which convenes in Stockholm the fifteenth of the present month. Few men have lived to see a work of their own planting so abundantly honored of God and fruitful. From one single company of consecrated young men there have grown nearly four thousand Associations, with a membership of more than two millions, whose fraternal grasp encircles the entire globe. While the history of the movement extends over a period of forty-four years yet the marked growth, numerically and otherwise, has been principally within the last twenty-five years. The last five years have been years of unprecedented financial prosperity, as evinced by the "building boom" that has extended over the entire field of Association effort. The numerous handsome and substantial Y. M. C. A. buildings that have been erected in small as well as large cities have given the work a prominence and permanency that promise well for the future, if the spiritual forces keep pace with the material progress. During these last few years not so much attention has been given to multiplying the numbers of Associations as to perfecting the organization of those already established, and this cannot be fully accomplished until the Association owns a home, specially planned and fully equipped for its own peculiar work. The number of buildings owned by the Associations in America has nearly doubled during the last five years, the present number being 132. During the same period the total net property owned by American Associations has increased from $3,330,786 to $7,201,658; and the number of persons employed in the work has increased from 255 to 752, with 43 positions temporarily vacant at the present time. JAPANESE Y. M. C. A. The work connected with the Japanese Y. M. C. A. has been greatly stimulated by a visit from Rev. M. C. Harris, Superintendent of the Japanese Mission in San Francisco. A very pleasant welcome reception was given Mr. Harris at Queen Emma Hall on July 9th, and at the same place Thursday evening, July 26th,an interestingfarewell reception was given to Mr. Harris and Mr. Shirhidzu, whoreturned to San Francisco on the following Saturday. A large number of friends were present to show their interest and join in the exercises, which consisted of speeches and singing [Augst, 1888 HINTS FOR LEADING A MEETING.

GEMS FROM SCHOPENHAUER. . There is in the world only one false being, that is man. He stands as a blemish in nature. However closely friendship, love and marriage bind men, each man ultimately only means well by himself, or at most, by his child. Wherein should one refresh oneself from the endless deception, falsity and malice of mankind, if dogs were not there in whose honest faces one could look without mistrust? Women remain children their lives long, only see what is immediately before them, cling to the present, take the appearance for the reality, and prefer trifles to things of the greatest importance. Before a tribunal, two male witnesses should outweigh any two, or even four female witnesses. For I believe that the female sex, in the mass, emits daily three times as man)' lies as the male. A woman always needs a guardian, and should never, therefore, act as one. Between men exists by nature indifference, but between women exists by nature hostility. Only the beclouded intellect of man could apply the term 'fair' to the lowgrown, narrow-shouldered, wide-hipped and short-legged sex. The European lady is a being that should not exist; there should be only housewives and girls who hope to become housewives, and they should be brought up therefore, not to arrogance, but to domesticity and subjection. The republican system is as unnatural to man as it is unfavorable to the higher intellectual life, and so to the arts and sciences. How beneficial would be the sixteen hours of the wearisome and thereby dangerous Sunday, if twelve of them were distributed over all the days of the week! The true national character of the Germans is clumsiness; this is what is conspicuous in their walk, their actions, their speech, their conversation, their understanding and thinking, but quite especially in their style of writing. The English are by nature better provided with understanding, intelligence, power of judgment and firmness of character, than any other nation, but sunk far below any other and made positively contemptible by their stupid church superstition. Educated Englishmen, travelling on the continent, and manifesting their Sabbatarian superstition, should be shamed into common sense by being treated with unconcealed contempt. Journalists are like small dogs, who whenever anything moves, forthwith set up a loud barking.—Gentlemen's Magazine. Some "advanced thinkers" are just now making Schopenhauer their Bible. Probably the above samples exhibit him at his worst; but we think the)' justify us in still being content with the Apostles and Prophets. RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN SPAIN. By Rev. Thos L. Gulick. The second of last April a Protestant pastor of Malaga, Senor Vila, was summoned before the court of that city to answer for having trampled on the laws of Spain. A priest of Malaga had distributed a printed circular in the part of the city where the protestant chapel was, in which he says: "The beautiful image of the 'Virgen dc los Dolores,' so loved and venerated in these regions, will return in a few days to dwell in your midst, and will rejoice with its presence your fields, will protect your dwellings, and shelter under its mantle of mercy your dear families. I also firmly believe that the mere presence of this holy image of sorrow will be all sufficient to deliver you from the wretches who seek your souls, not to save them and direct them to heaven, but to destroy them, carrying them away to eternal condemnation. "Yes, my beloved children, the old and already rickety protestantism, discredited and moribund in its own country, Germany and England, has wished to try its fortune in Spain, ever virgin in the faith," &c, &c. Senor Vila replied in a circular: "We will not stop to comment at large on the assertion as an article of faith 'that the image of the Virgin of Sorrows will rejoice with its presence your fields, will protect your homes and shelter under its mantle of mercy your families.' This is pure paganism. Everybody knows that from the same wood of which the artificer made this image, he could make a manger for the horse of the priest. And why should not the manger have the same virtue as the image of the Virgin of Sorrows? But we have a few words to say on what follows. The priest firmly believes that the mere presence of the image of the Sorrows will be sufficient to frighten away the Protestants from the ' Gate of the Tower.' He is mistaken. Our presence there will be more constant to combat idolatry, and we will continue to show to all, from the Sacred Scriptures, that there is a commandment of God which the church of the priest hides from the people, that forbids the making of images to be venerated, which forbids their worship or giving to them any religious homage: teaching us to love, venerate and worship God only through Jesus Christ. We preach these truths, and we teach the people to go to God through the mediatorship of Jesus Christ alone, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." There is considerable more in similar strain in both circulars, but the above is the most serious and significant portion of each as was shown by the way in which they were singled out by the court. Senor Vila's offense would doubtless have been more grave if he had simply quoted Isaiah 44:9-19, Psalm 115:4-8 and Exodus 20:1, 5. For this sacrilege of "comparing," as the court says,"the sacred image of la Virgen dc los Dolores with the manger of the horse of the priest and attributing the same virtue to this miserable object as to that, by which the greatest scorn is thrown upon the worship of the holy images," etc., Pastor Vila is condemned to "two years, four months and one day «£ imprisonment; to pay a fine of two hundred and fifty pesetas ($5O) and the costs of court." The case has been appealed to the Supreme Court. We and many others will await with much interest the result of the second trail. Spanish Romanists are learning by a novel experience in>Micronesia and elsewhere that they cannot do what they please with closed doors, as in the palmy days of the Spanish Inquisition. Since the failure at Sioux City, lowa, to convict the man who murdered Rev. Mr. Haddock at the instigation of the saloonkeeper, the reaction and uprising of feeling in Sioux City have totally exterminated the saloons there, and nearly all the men engaged in the business have either fled or are in prison. The gambling houses and brothers are being closed as fast as the Law and Order League can bring it about. The laws are now better enforced there than in any other large city in Iowa; it is growing more rapidly; the churches are adding scores to their membership. It was a pitiful thing that Haddock's death should have gone unvisited by the law; but it is a great joy to learn that the law was all the more vividly written on the hearts of the citizens of Sioux City. Why should it be thought incredible that God should raise the dead ? is Paul's triumphant question to King Agnppa. Why, thou creature listening to the blowing of the winds, thou creature gladdened with the waves of light that reach thee from the distant sun, why, thou creature of quivering nerve, dependent for thy sentient life upon the interweaving of subtlest agencies, whose secrets laugh thy knowledge all to scorn, why should it be incredible to thee that God, the living God, should, if thou dost ask of Him, find other gate ways than those of sense and space, and fill thee with the beginning* of a second and more wonderful existence? If conscience smite thee once, it is admonition; if twice, it is condemnation. �THE FRIEND. T rPHEO. H. DAVIES k CO., Kaahumanu Street, Honululll. Generalcy Commission . igen is 1).

He was expressly forbidden to take any part in governmental affairs.When Constitutional Government began to be organized, Dr. G. P. Judd. Rev. Lorrin Andrews and Rev. William Richards withdrew from the mission in order to aid in that important work. At the death of the latter, Rev. R. Armstrong left the mission and took his place. For some twelve years, through these persons, missionary influence predominated in the government. Before that time, no missionary is known to have been in the habit of advising fluking and chiefs as to public affairs. It is impossible, however, that with their immense spiritual influence, and the great force of character of some among them, like Mr. Bingham, the political action of the government should not have felt their influence from time to time from an early date. For reasons which it is not necessary here to discuss, this political influence of the missionaries was always, very obnoxious to most of the foreigners then living here. It is generally admitted, however, that this period of missionary domination was one of efficient and honest administration of affairs. We think also that no one can honestly doubt that but for this missionary intervention no such thing as Constitutional Government could ever have existed in these islands under Hawaiian rulers. It was under God, the creation of the Missionaries. But for the tremendous spiritual and moral uplifting that followed their teachings, the Hawaiian chiefs and people would never have surrendered their old ways and fallen into line with civilized judicial, legislative and administrative institutions as they did with ready consent and zealous co-operation. This is a thing to be expected. It has always existed here in a very pronounced form. It is an old, chronic condition of society. It is a part of the established order of affairs in Honolulu and its surroundings. Everybody has been used to it for the last fifty years. In fact, society always arranges itself into two sides, pulling against each other. Xo doubt, although both sides cannot be equally in the right, this arrangement is to some extent useful, in preventing extreme and hasty action. That ••Missionaries" should be spoken against with so much frequency and energy as they are, may be taken as an evidence, that whatever their faults, they must be at least a very considerable force in the land. They must be a set of people of a good deal of influence, or there would not be so much effervescence as there often is in the animosity expressed towards them. Being such an influential force, it seems inevitable that their influence should be exercised, and appear in the various directions in which men generally act. They will be likely to be found exerting some force in political affairs, as well as in religious, educational, social, and commercial As said above, none of the old misalfairs.

Several foreign churches, notably the Central Union Church of Honolulu, are practically the offspring of the old missionary social and religious influence. At any rate all these people and churches have inherited the name, in vulgar parlance, of "missionaries." They are a class of reputable and generally religious people, whose views on morals and politics are substantially in accord with those of the old missionaries, and with those of socalled Evangelical Christians in America and England. They have shared more or less in the financial prosperity of the country. The members of these churches are, to a large extent, leaders in the foreign community, socially and financially, as well as in education and religion. This "Missionary" element is thus be a very large one in the community. Its character, its ability, its share in general affairs, its experience, must be felt necessarily to endow it with a very powerful influence in this country. This influence will, of course, be felt in politics as much as in anything else. In fact it tends to be stronger there than elsewhere from the fact that a large number of these people are identified with this country by birth and early education. They possess a peculiar patriotism in respect to their native land, which amounts to an instinct and an enthusiasm in all public affairs. Hawaii is very dear to them. They have ideals of what can he made of such a country and its people, which they would like to see realized. seen to Wise men will calmly recognize these facts and their causes, and will adapt their conduct to them. They will understand that the so-called missionaries necessarily have and will continue to hold considerable influence in public alfairs. Kvcn if they seriously differ with the "missionaries" upon moral and political questions, they will, like good politicians, try to ally themselves with them as much as they can, just as they always do in business affairs. When men froth out against missionaries it is not the wise men, not at least in their . wiser moments. �Home Missionary Sermon. Preached at CentralUnints< hurc h by Rev. I'. L. (lulick, June 10. 1886. Is. 00:2,, 21. I hy people shall be alt righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the hranch or my planting, the work of my hands, that I may beglorined. A little one shall hecome a thonsaii I and a small one a strong narton. I.the Lord, will hasten it in his lime. There has no doubt, been disappoint- ment arising from an unreasonable ex- pectation in some minds, that the gospel would do for the Hawaiian! in one generation what it has taken it over a thousand years to do for the Anglo-Saxons. Such expectations are not in accord, either with the teaching of history, or of common sense. "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness." "Thy people shall be all righteous, tht> Lord will hasten it in his time." Individuals and multitudes of them may be converted at the first preaching of the gospel, and started on tJie road towards Christian perfection. So a nation, however degraded, may be started on the road that leads to the highest Christian civilization, but the process must be expected to be slow. So all history, even of the most highly endowed races, in the most favorable circumstances, teaches. Thinking men.are coming to recognize more than before that the very constitution, capacities and traits of races, even more than of individuals, are developed, moulded and stamped by the environ- ment in which they live. Given, a race without the light of revelation, living on small tropical islands, without foreign intercourse, without any metals, and consequently without the possibility of good tools or advanced arts, and yet, with the means of subsistence obtainable, almost without labor, from theabundant natural products of land and sea, and with so mild a climate as to feel but little need of clothing or houses—let these have been the uniform conditions of existence for many hundreds and, perhaps, thousands of years—what will be the traits, constitution and capacities developed by such surroundings? Would not an intelligent student of our species predict with certainty, before he had even seen them, that a people so circumstanced would have little capacity, and less inclination, for hard and continuous labor; that they would find it difficult to acquire proficiency in the trades and arts, and especially difficult to compete in these, employments with races that had been trained in them for many centuries; that they would have little or no capacity for commerce or the management of huge and complicated affairs, that they would be, as a race. improvident, pleasure-loving and pas sionate? [September, THE FRIEND. 70 Are the Hawaiians, then, to be blamed because they do not easily become firstclass carpenters and blacksmiths, because they find it difficult to continue steadily at hard labor, and because they do not become successful merchants? Not- withstanding, we are glad to see that, according to the last census, a large percentage of the carpenters and a full half of the printers of the islands, are Hawaiians. What if you think that the Hawaiian acts too constantly on the command: "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn thou not away?" Is he to be severely blamed because he is impulsive, warm-hearted and over-generous; because he is so child-like that he is unable to keep his land or even his house out of the hand of the more shrewd, grasping, land-hungry foreigner? Would not those of the stronger races who are so, not by their own individual virtue, but by heredity, through the discipline of favorable circumstances on unnumbered generations of their ancestors would not these do well, instead of censuring so continually Hawaiian weakness, to remember rather what our common Maker says in reference to greed, self-seeking and avarice, which is idolatry? Would we not all do well to consider less the mote in our brother's eye and more the duties of the strong to the weak' "We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves." What shall we think of those who deliberately lead the natives into extravagance, drinking and debauchery, while at the same time sneering at their ignorance and weakness? Nothing could be more unreasonable than to expect a Pacific islander to leap at a bound to the position which the European has only attained through slow and hard climbing for sixteen centuries. A nation may be born in a day, and a nation may die in a day; but a savage people cannot grow up into the perfection of Christian civilization except through generations of Christian culture. Let us beware of having any part in the heartless and faithless conduct of those who make a parade of the imperfections of Hawaiian Christians, as though the}' would have the world believe that the apostolic labors of the devoted men and women who lifted them out of tlfe most degraded heathenism, had been labor spent in vain. Someone has said that the weaknesses of acknowledged saints are a positive in tpiration when we are tempted to be disheartened by our own failures. So when we remember the grave di lects ol character and the startling sins; the — cowardice, lying, polygamy, adultery and even minder of such old time saints as David, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; when we consider the terrible abuses which existed in the Corinthian and other apostolic churches; when we call to mind the outrageous slavery and the debasing intemperance which existed in the churches of our fathers, and above all, when we consider our own multiform weaknesses and sins, in spite of all our unprecedented advantages, we have no 1888 right to be discouraged on account of the weakness and immaturity of Hawaiian Christians. I have dwelt at some length on this thought because I am convinced that many who wish well to the natives, and who ought to be laboring heartily for their spiritual welfare, are deterred from doing so by unreasonable expectations about them and, consequently, unreasonable disappointment and discouragement at their present attainments. When the American churches ceased sending missionaries to this field, it was hoped that the children of the missionaries together with the other foreign Christians would, by degrees, and so far as it was possible, take the place of the fathers in leading and pressing forward the work. We think that the directors of the American Board, from lack of intimate personal acquaintance, misjudged the advancement, self-directing apd self developing power of the Hawaiian churches in 1863, and that the work was too immature to have been thrown upon those who remained here under the changed relations. We probably agree that it was a mistake for the Board to have so suddenly laid down their half-finished work among a people who were still groping in the twilight and beset by such an incoming flood of temptation. In 1863 Dr. Anderson said to the assembled fathers "It cost our churches more than a million dollars to evangelize this nation, and those churches will have no idea of seeing these evangelical institutions subverted, whatever be the cost of preventing such a disaster." He also said, "The race has been Christianized, but needs a large amount of foreign labor before its Christian institutions can stand without foreign as- sistance." It was twenty-five years ago this month that these statements were made at the formation of the Hawaiian I-Cvangelical Association. Since then most of the fathers have died at their posts, but in that time only one man, I believe, has been sent out to fill the gap! We are glad to be informed that four or fivenew men are now promised. They can not come too soon and will find abundant work on every band. In the mean time we do well to ask ourselves whether we have been, and are, fully meeting all reasonable expectations of us id this matter, Have we shown, and ,ue we showing, the samespirit of devotion and Whole-hearted consecration to the Lord's work that the fathers did? Do We feel and show as much aloha for Hawaiians, and anxiety for the progress of the churches? 1 do not mean to intimate that all, or ;i majority, should become ministers or missionaries. Christian men and women are needed in every department of life, and we must listen to God's call individually; but why should we not all have the self-denying devotion to the Lord's ' �Volume 46, No. 9.] work of the truest missionary? Because the Lord has catled me to be a mereliant Of a planter, docs he, therefore, expect me to be less self-sacrificing for the advancement of his kingdom than if hehad called me to be a missionary in China? Such self-excusing is the curse of the church and the greatest cause of the delay of the salvation of the world. What if God has sent China and Japan and the islands of the sea to our door? What if we have been instrumental in bringing these darkened souls here to toil for the advancement of our worldly prosperity; can we wash our hands of their blood if we fail to do all in our power to give them the bread of spiritual life for the lack of which they are perishing in our very midst? The Hawaiians are struggling in a death grapple with terrible bodily diseases which have been brought to them from foreign lands, and with which their previous training (and habits have not fitted them to contend. The result to the race is still uncertain. But in the meantime an ever increasing population is coming in upon us from America, Europe, the Portuguese islands, Japan and China. In the years that I have been away from my native land, that is since 1860, the foreign population, the industries, and the wealth of the islands have increased enormously. In 1860 the, total foreign population was less than 3,000. In 1884 it was more than 36,000/ The increase of wealth in the hands o? Christ an men and women, with its accompanying power for good, has been correspondingly great. Probably the wealth of the Christian communities is thirty times what it then was. I suppose there are single Christian men who to-day have greater wealth than all the foreign Christians in these islands had forty years ago. What portion of this wealth is being used for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ? Let every one, says the apostle, -'give according to that he hath." Before long a telegraphic cable will probably be laid connecting our islands with each other, and all with America and Australia; and undoubtedly, in the near future, a ship canal or ship railroad will be in use either at Panama, Nicaragua or Tehuantepec. When that timecomes, the commerce of Europe and the Atlantic sea-board of America, with China and Japan, will pass by our very doors. Most of the ships will probably touch at om: of our ports. With our unrivaled climate and productive soil, our population and wealth may be expected to increase more rapidly than at any previous time. Note is our opportunity to get our Christian institutions firmly rooted. God is to-day calling on all Christians in Hawaii nei to consecrate their silver and their gold, their bank stock and plantation stock, their cattle and horses, their merchandise, houses and lands, 71 THE FRIEND. their children and themselves to the work of the Master. To do this is the great est privilege of our lives. When we do it heartily, we will discover for the first time what a blessing property, power and opportunity can become. Are there not several Christian men in our Hawaiian communities, who could individually support three or four missionaries: one in Hawaii, one in Japan, one in China and one in Micronesia, and still have enough and to spare for himself and family? Why not do it? Do you know of any better investment? Is there any which would be more pleasing to the Master, more profitable to the donor, or a greater blessing to the world? A student, about to be admitted to the New York bar. has pledged himself to support ;i friend, as soon as he enters the foreign field. Will not some of my hearers undertake the support of at least one missionary each' Eighty-live persons, contributing only live- cents a day, can pay the salary of a missionary and his wife. The fields are already white to the harvest: the Lord is seeking for laborers. "Is this a timeto receive money and to receive garments, and olive yards, and sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and maid-servants?" Let us rather become servants, for our Master came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Letter From China. Df.ak Mr. Bishop: -It scarcely seems if it were already much more than a year since we bade farewell to the many friends who had been so kind to us in Honolulu, and who loaded us down even to the very hour of sailing with gifts for our new chapel. Thanks largely to their generosity, the chapel is done and paid for. and its legitimate effect has been to show that the Chinese can do some things for themselves, which they once thought impossible. We have outgrown the stage in which it seems to our Christians that certain things absolutely cannot be accomplished, and have come to a time when they gently hint that if the Shepherds will be patient witli them—say to the extent of a few hundred years, which in China do not count for much, they think perhaps a beginning can be made. Already since this chapel was completed at no expense to the Board, two others have been provided, and a third is planned for this year, but all of these later ones are comparatively inexpensive. We have been delighted to hear that the long projected union of churches in Honolulu has been happily accomplished. We are delighted to know, not only that the Lord has led you to the very man who ofall the numerous inhabitants of this planet seems best able to be your pilot, but haa» also led that man to you. At times, it almost seems like a 'providence!' As for the work here in China, when we came up the long coast of China a year as ago, whatever else we failed to learn, we a new and fadeless impression of the magnitude of this expansive Empire, which stretches from the tropics to the Amoor river. The missionary work, in this vast area, is in all stages of advancement, and in great territories equal in magnitude to ordinary kingdoms, it is not as yet begun. It is a misleading comparison which is often made between the missionary work in China and the same work in Japan. In the latter country, there has been a singular preparation for the gospel, the pressure for the means of existence is by no means so sharp as in China, with its far denser population, and the class reached thus far in Japan has not been the lowest, but the middle stratum of society. All this is quite ditlerent in China, where the progress has been made one step at a time. How great that progress really is, we can only appreciate by recollecting the time but a few years ago, when the number of missionaries was but half of those now in the field. Each year witnesses a great increase, the recruits for the China Inland Mission alone, being annually about 100 persons. The work of that great society is so diffused, that it is difficult to get an idea of it as a whole, but it cannot fail to have a farreaching influence for good, almost all over China. In our little corner of the wide field, we have had on the whole a good year, though with much less progress than we ought to have seen. We have many things to encourage us, such as the occasional opening of new places, and the resurrection from the dead, of some old centers which seemed past hope. I visited one such last week, in which we once had a little company, but they scattered by a case of persecution for which nothing could be done. A former helper became alienated and was transformed into a hinderer. Eor years we never even visited the place, as they did not wish to see us. One woman, who was married into the village from this region (the place is sixty miles away in Chihli province) was the means of reviving the expiring faith of the few that were left. She had learned to read before she was married, and had a little service each Sunday at which (in defiance of the proprieties) she took the lead. She had no help, but rather opposition from her brother in-law, the former helper, but she quietly held on, and sixteen months ago Mr. Porter visited them, and found that fourteen persons- wished to be baptized. One of these was a woman, whose husband refused his consent to this proceeding, sententiously observing that if any moie •'religion" was needed in the family, he would see to it, and she might have leisure to attend to her proper business. Whenever she came to meeting, it was a "stolen" opportunity, and she was generally beaten to pay for it, often with extreme severity. Although she has been a virago hitherto, she bore this gained �72 treatment in such a way as to excite the curiosity of her husband as to therationale of the matter, and at last he frankly asked her what it meant. She embraced the opportunity to explain her position, and the result was that he begged her to pray for him, and he went to paoTing-fu to study last winter, and was there baptized. This sounds like a stuty "out of a book," which only shows that God's grace is the same in all places. I had the pleasure of baptizing the youngest child of this couple. There are now about twenty members there. and they meet regularly twice a week. and have a little fund made up of odd cash contributed by the old women as they are able, toward the building ot a little chapel, to be their vers own, and which will cap their ambition. At our Mission Meeting just past, we- have asked for a new family for this little interim station, and in fact for reinforcements for every one of the older stations, the renewal of the old station of Yu Chou, where there hits been no resident missionary for fifteen years, and the opening oftwo new stations in the regions of southern Chihli, or northern Honan, where as yet there are no missionaries, and where they have no idea that foreigners have penetrated to the Celestial Empire! If all should come for whom we have asked, there would be next year an accession of twenty-nine people, though we hardly expect so many at one time. There is to be, we suppose, another general Missionary Conference in Shanghai, in 1890, to which we are all looking forward with great interest. In the eleven years since the last conference, the changes have been very great, and not the less significant because they have all been peaceful ones. With the exception of the desultory scuffle with the French, which can hardly be termed a war, there has been no breach of peace with foreign nations since Peking was taken in 1860. From a position of insecurity, merely tolerated on sufferance, missionaries have gradually advanced to a position of security, with all the protection that they can expect. In great cities, and in new regions like Ssu Ch'uan the people still offer occasional violence, but the officials in the end always try to adjust the matter in a satisfactory way, and in general this class, if not more friendly, are far less hostile to us than we have any right to expect. The wide influence of the score or more of hospitals and dispensaries, must be everywhere felt. Here, in the center of a community strictly rural, with no great city anywhere near, Dr. Peck has treated within the last year more than 9,306 patients, and his name has gone abroad into all the earth. This form of work is far more valuable than any famine relief could be, because it is regular, uniformly distributed over wide districts, and never stops. We have reported to our people, the unexampled generosity of the people THE FRIEND. of the "Sandalwood Islands," and they hold you all in admiration and in awe. So, perhaps omitting the awe, do we, and shall cherish it as a bright memory that we were once permitted to visit for a few months, the Isles of the Sea, which have been so prominent a witness to the perennial power of Christianity to spread. Meantime, I remain with the best wishes for you and your work, most sincerely and gratefully, Arthur H. Smith. [September, 1888 beautiful Punahou.

Why do you delay to give yourself wholly to Christ? We personally know the writer of these words. He is an eminent pastor of more than thirty years in one city church, and a Christian of tender and lovely spirit. These words too are tender and persuasive. We cannot say that every word is not in a sense true. Yet there is one expression, which we would like to modify, because we think it fails to set forth the truth as to God's sorrow, —his regret—his sense of loss and grief in the self-destruction of sinners. It is this: "God will be infinitely happy though you fail to honor him." It seems very clear both from the old and the new Testaments, that theFather of all is |)iofoundly grieved at the death of even sinner; that He would save them if it were possible, and that their ruin is a cause of the greatest pain and sorrow to God. Although it is true that an infinite Blessedness rolls evermore like an ocean through his being, it seems equally true that he experiences profound sorrow for his dying creatures. We would strictly avoid every expression seeming to imply that he is indifferent. God's compassion, his love, his sorrow for sinners—his pitying fatherhood is one of the tenderest and strongest incentives to men to turn and live. "How can I give thee up, Ephraim?"

I i"his page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Hoard of Missions, and the Fditoi, appointed by the Hoard is responsible forits contents. Rev. Jas. BickneU, - - Editor. is making a month's visiting the churches in Puna and Kan. also attending a meeting of Association at Waimea. He thus adds to his own work that of the Corresponding Secretary, as during Mr. Forbes ill health he had done before. Rev. Dr. Hyde tour on Hawaii, We are glad to learn that on Sunday, the I "2th August, he met five audiences in Waiohinu, Honuapo, and Naalehu. including one of Japanese at the latter place. All the native congregations were large, as was one at l'unaluu on Monday evening. The people welcome these visits from the missionary makuas, and the native pastors are essentially helped and stim ulated by them. One man is needed on each principal island who shall labor constantly in visitation among the churches. No definite information yet comes of the appointment of any such helpers. One is needed for the vacant Secretary ship, another to reinforce Dr. Hyde in the N. P. Institute, his strength having long been over-taxed by manifold duties. And then, the men for evangelistic and pastoral work, as above. The A. B. C. F. M. have agreed to send men on, as soon as they can be secured. We shall be glad to get them, if only one at a time. Meantime the subscription at these Islands toward the support of such missionaries now exceeds $7,000 per annum. Of this $:?,000 are from Rev. I-:. Bond, and $1.0011 each from G. N. Wilcox, H. P. Baldwin, and the H. M. C. Society. A newspaper correspondent lately attributed to missionaries the virtue or crime which ever it was of getting rich, (iood Father Bond is the only one we ever knew of, who could be called rich, that is. who ever acquired more property than would yield a very moderate, living. He did it by a fortunate location of waste land near his dwelling, which became converted twenty-live years ago into shares in a small plantation, one thai grew ultimately into a larj;e and profitable one. As Mi. Bond never turned aside from his missionary work, and never applied himseli to secular business, he may well say that his moderate wealth is from the Lord. He has truly employed it liberally, as held for the Lord. 75 THE FRIEND. Kawaiahao Girls' Seminary. This institution has greatly prospered during the past few years under Miss Alexander as principal, aided hy her able associate. Miss Malone. Prospered, we mean not only in numbers, in finances, and in additional facilities, but also in gooil and thorough work upon the minds and characters of Hawaiian girls. These ladies seem to have possessed an especial gift in enlisting munificent aid from the friends of the school. Between ten and twelve thousand dollarshave been secured within a year and a half. Must of this has been applied to the addition of a large wing at the east end, taking the place of the old stone wing, the former mission bindery. In this wing is the large school and assembly room, thirty-five by forty-two feet. Adjoining aie two school rooms, capable of being thrown into one with the larger room hy sliding doors, and so doubling its area. The whole makes a no mean lecture room. All are furnished with school desks of the latest pattern. Upstairs are two large dormitories intended for seventy girls, but capable of accommodating ninety. The dormitories in the other parts of the building will accommodate fifty or sixty. The pressure of applicants is so great that it will be hard to keep the school below its outside capacity of one hundred and fifty hoarders. The late corps of teachers have as nearly worn themselves out in the service as they could be justified in doing, and all now retire with the exception of Miss Hopper. They are to be succeeded by six new teachers. The new principal is Miss Helen A. Pepoon, for seven years past the principal of Fox Lake Seminary, Wisconsin. Among the others are Miss Frear, formerly of Honolulu, and Miss Grace L. Brewer, daughter of Prof, l-'isk P. Brewer, of Grinned College, lowa, and granddaughter of Key. William Richards, the first Minister of Public Instruction in this kingdom. This corps of teachers are expected to arrive about September fust. It should be said that besides the recent improvements above named, nearly twenty thousand dollars had been previously expended in building. Now, .ill tin old mission buildings have been removed, and the new seminary stands a handsome and somewhat imposing structure, fronted by a beautiful lawn. The school has just been so happy as to acquire the much needed lot adjoining. si, long occupied by the late William Guliek. Kawaiahao Seminary is for English education of Hawaiian girls. Sewing and household economy are leading branches of instruction. Board and tuition, fifty dollars per annum; piano, extra. A noble career seems to lie before the school. Christian schools of this class are, in our opinion, the most effective coadjutors of the church in steadily lifting up the Hawaiian race. This must be done through the home and through the future wives and mothers who make the home. A Little Old Saint. Mis. Arthur Smith writes of a village near Pang Chuang as follows: "Most interesting of all this group, is the little grandmother, aged til!, mother of the five men who all entered the church together. She has a face seamed and wrinkled, two bright little beady eyes close together, and the cheeriest smile in Shantung. She has never yet recovered from her delighted surprise that the 'Ming Shepheid' baptized her. She tells the story with a naive humility that loses itself each time in the great joy that crowns her life. "There I was." she says, "and all my five sons to be baptized, but I wasn't expecting anything, because I was old and stupid.' But who would have thought it! The shepherd called me, and he said, 'what do you knowabout it, venerable lady?' I said, Tarn old and stupid, and can't talk, but I know that God loves me. and gives me everything, and I thank him every day, and I lean on Jesus, and ask him to save me from my sins.' And (with a smile that fairly transfigured the plain old face), the shepherd said,'come along and be baptized with your five sons.' So I did." The family is a poor one, and has to work hard for a living- such, busy, busy women; but not too busy to think about heaven as we followed them around from spinning-wheel to loom, and from loom to needle work, trying to give a fair share to those who are glad to learn, but who must not stop work." Go through a Canadian village in the province of Cjuebec, and find out, if you can, where the son has advanced upon the intelligence of the father. The Roman church holds him in statu qua. The education is just enough to keep him from absolute ignorance. Go into the French quarter of Montreal, or into the same three-quarters of (Quebec, and you shall feel the change in the atmosphere without entering a single dwelling. The intellectual hie is stunted. The influence of the Roman church in Canada is that of repression and hostility to civilization of the highest type. It is the truth, that the Roman Catholic religion is the principal obstacle to the proper development of Lower Canada. It works not for the building up ol society, not for the enlargement of men's lives, hut for the aggrandizement of the Papacy, as expressed in the acquisition flf property, and the increased control of the people in the interests of the Church.

When tempted from the path of strict rectitude, and "There is no danger" urges you on, say, "Get thee behind me, Satan !" When tempted to give the Sabbath up to pleasure, or to do a little labor in the workshop or counting room, and Only this once" or "Everybody does "so," whispers at your elbow, do not listen for a moment to the dangerous counsel. All four are cheats and liars. They mean to deceive and cheat you out of heaven. "Behold," says God, "now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation." He has no promise by-and-bye." Christian at Work. — Never a Drop. One can readily imagine the amazement of our English cousins, to hear from Howe's own lips that he never tasted a drop of alcoholic liquor, nor used tobacco in any form; that he never yet had an ache or pain alter any race, and never found any one to push him hard when in condition. His diet is oatmeal, beef, chops, plenty of eggs, one cup of hot tea at each meal, and no drinks at all between meals. Rowe says: I have consulted the finest doctors and physicians in the United States, and they tell me the greater part of my success lies in my abstinence. I feel myself that it is so. lam just as good one day as another. I never have an off-day, whereas people who take stimulants are good to-day and nothing the next day. It sometimes takes them a fortnight to get back again into good order. Professionals have admitted as much to me. When I rode my greatest distance in the hour, I had not done any work on my bicycle for a week, on account of bad weather; and though 1 thought I should not be in condition, yet when I came to ride I found I accomplished the greatest performance ever yet done in the world.—Leisure Hours, Boston. It is right of your young men to enrich themselves with the spotla of all pure literature; but he who would make a favorite of a bad book, simply because it contains a few beautiful passages, might as well caress the hand of an assassin because of the jewelry which sparkles on his fingers.— Joseph Parker. No grace is more necessary to the Christian worker than fidelity; the humble grace that marches on in sunshine and storm, when no banners are waving, and there is no music to cheer the tired feet. �THE FRIEND. High License. In the debate on the Crosby High License Bill in the New York Assembly, one member saial that "a tax on the saloons no more lessened the amount of drinking than a tax on coffins lessened the death-rate." We do not regard High License as by any means an effective temperance measure, but nevertheless think it is far better than low license, or than unlimited liberty to saloons. Honolulu has had forty or fifty years experience of a Higjr License system, by which a limited number of saloons, say ten or twelve, pay Slonu each for license to retail. As we understand the Crosby and other high license systems at the East, as many saloons are licensed as choose to pay the established fee. Our system is therefore still more restrictive. As to its restraining effect, we think it is generally agreed that there is less liquor sold than if grog-shops were opened on every street corner throughout the city. There is some illicit traffic probably, but not approaching the amount of traffic which unrestricted license would produce. As it is, every person with an appetite for beer, wine or spirits, is able to gratify it with facility. Drunkards and the evil fruits of drunkenness abound. Great numbers of persons also are being enticed to drink, and are in process of creating a fixed appetite. It is not for the interest of the regular saloons to interfere very much with the illicit traffic, because the more temptation and the more frequent opportunity there is to drink, the more rapidly and numerously are fresh appetites created, and so new customers for the saloons are supplied. If we admit what is perhaps true, that with our large British and German elements, public sentiment in favor of entire prohibition is not sufficiently advanced to render prohibition practicable or expedient, until our foreigners are educated up to the measure, yet it does seem as if very much advance could be made in restricting the activity of the saloon traffic—in diminishing the convenience and the attractiveness of such places. Admit that many men demand as a right, under the full approval of their conscience, that they shall be permitted to supply themselves with beer, wine, or spirits, does that support any claim of right on the part of vendors to create places of seductive attraction and allurement to increase the consumption and their profits thereon ? As a measure of amendment, we would require the saloons to be divested of all elements of attraction as places of agreeable resort and recreation. We would have them made as bare as a butcher's stall or a blacksmith's shop, of everything but the so-called necessary stimulants. There should be nothing to invite the pleasure-seeker or to accommodate the lounger. If there must be places where men shall purchase liquors, let all screens be removed from the doors —all privacy be forbidden—all seats betaken away. Let the purchasers supply themselves and go away. It will be an important step forward when the liquor shop ceases to be a "saloon" —is divested of conveniences and attractions—and when those who indulge, must do so in the view of the public. If it is right for A. to buy his glass of liquor, why should he be ashamed to do it openly, any more than B. is, to liuv openly his glass of soda-water? The parents whose children are debauched by the saloon, the wives whose homes it desolates, the children whom it beggars and starves, the community which is scourged and taxed by the crimes it generates, have the right to demand at least this much of restriction and repres sion upon its pestiferous work. End! Is it any wonder that those unevangelized minions of a coward Pilate eighteen hundred years ago stripped this man Jesus of his raiment and put on him the purple of mock royalty—in his hand a reed for sceptre, and on his head a wreath of prickles? Is it so wonderous strange a thing that they should have smitten his face with switches and spat upon him, and bowed down before him with jeers and guffaws before they took off the purple (the time being spent) and replaced his own clothing for the execution, and then, drawing down their faces, marched to Calvary with exhibition step and decorum ? Are these things so wonderful in them, and is it an occasion of no remark that upon a brutal "slogger" is conferred the corporate recognition of a Christian community of four hundred thousand souls? Such things, however, did our Master bear. The record does not give us light upon ii. demeanor in face of these brutal bufferings. We can only be sure that his heavenly dignity did not fail him even then. They crucify him. He hears the jests renewed. That most stinging of them all: "He saved others, himself he cannot save."

It has indeed seemed very doubtful whether in the present attitude of the parties to this question, any discussion on our part could be serviceable. On the one side are arrayed the Chinamen themselves, deeply sensitive to whatever tends to disparage them, or to treat them unequally. Many of them are highly intelligent, some of high character, and good business standing, and many of long residence in the country. They have true and warm friends among the whites, especially those devoted individuals who are laboring to impart to them the knowledge of the Lord our Saviour, and who naturally and worthily sympathize with them in their claims and aspirations. On the other side are the great body of white people of all classes, who partake strongly of the Anti-Chinese feeling which is so intense and imperative on both sides of the Pacific, wherever Chinese immigration has brought Chinese into competition with white labor, especially in California and in Australia. In the view of earnest Christian and philanthropic men, looking from a distance at the question, the Anti-Chinese feeling in California has been regarded as unhumane and has been summarily denounced as wholly unchristian, causeless and inhuman. It is undoubtedly true that bad elements have taken an active part in this as in all other controversies, and that much that is unchristian and inhuman has been done and said therein. Hut to the best of our knowledge, it is far from being the opinion of the great body of wise and good men in California that there are not good and weighty reasons for taking strong measures against the farther immigration of Chinese laborers into that country. Their chief reason is the impossibility of white laborers Competing with the frugal and patient Chinese coolies, and the inevitable impoverishment and degradation of the former. Another reason of great force is the improbability trf the Chinese becoming assimilated and amalgamated with the Americans, as do other immigrants. The question has different aspects, and more complicated ones, in Hawaii nei. Here the Chinese already constitute nearly two-fifths of the male population of the Kingdom. The others, men and women, are divided among not only different nationalities, but diverse races, more than one-half being native Hawaiians. Future assimilation into a homogeneous people seems very difficult. Some would argue that the difficulty should not be increased by so large an element of the intractable Mongolian. There is no doubt, also, that both the native people and the white immigrants do severely feel the competition of Chinese labor in this country. From untold ages of severe and crowded competition, the Chinaman inherits an ability to make the most of everything, and to live on the least, so that he thrives where better men starve. Chinamen have already absorbed many of the common occupations of the natives, such as fishing, taro-planting, the poi trade, &c. They absorb a large part of the retail trade. They carry on a great proportion of those mechanical industries by which a most valuable and important class of whites and the more intelligent natives are maintained. Let the present number of Chinese be doubled, or trebled, which may easily happen in a few years, and where would be room for any white men in these islands, except employers and directors oflabor? And what would be left for the natives? We do not question that the 20,000 Chinese are contributing materially to the financial prosperity of the country. They have brought into cultivation great tracts of swamp land, for which they pay heavy rental. They supply an indispensable portion of the labor on the sugar plantations. While they remit much money home, a considerable part of the fruits of their toil goes into general circulation. They are a people of so much character, ability, and productiveness, that they must needs be treated with consideration, even did not ordinary justice, humanity and Christian fraternity require it of us. There seems to be a general agreement that the farther immigration of Chinamen should cease, and that their numbers should not be permitted to increase. Probably those already here do not consider this a special hardship to themselves. They and their friends do, however, make a strenuous opposition to measures in any way discriminating between those now living hereand other residents. There seems to be a very strong determination to make some such discriminations. The new Constitution so discriminates in denying to all Asiatics the right of suffrage here. At the late session of the Legislature, an effort was made to secure the preliminary action for a change of the Constitution two years hence, so as to permit of laws limiting Chinese to certain occupations, and securing special registeration of Chinese laborers. This was defeated by means of bribes to native members, although a few of the best white members voted against it. The perplexities of the subject must lessen any regret that action was deferred. The chief ground upon which the advocates of such Constitutional discrimination justify it, is that by reason of their utter strangeness of tongue and literature, added to their great and tenaciously fixed peculiarities of custom and habit, the Chinese constitute a separate community in the kingdom, whom it is impracticable,to reach and govern effi- �78 THE FRIEND.

Notes of a Tour Around Hawaii. Leaving Honolulu on the ll'. G. Hall at the seasonable hour of 10 a. m., the traveler finds himself early the next morning oft the coast oi Hawaii, and anchored oft' Kailua, the favorite place of residence for Kamehameha when the American Missionaries first landed. Why should the Inter-Island S. S. Company give such a common-place individual name to their new steamer, when the Hawaiians with quicker a;sthetic instinct will insist upon calling it the Maintain? In size and convenience it is a model vessel for our inter-island voyaging; but as new wants call for new comforts, the next new vessel will doubtless make us wonder why we could ever have been so well satisfied with such defective arrangements as the stern-lights of future experiences will show our present methods and achievements to be, as we leave them behind in the wake of the world's progress. Hut what is to be done with such places as Lahaina, that in the brief period covered by the history of these islands succeeded to Kailua in metropolitan rank, to be speedily distanced by Honolulu as the great commercial center? Is Honolulu destined to be left outside of the changing currents of competing traffic, when British America and the great Colonial Britain shall be connected by a fleet of ocean steamers, stopping at its convenient quays for coal and water? Kailua is again the favorite residence of Hawaiian royalty; but if stories told, yet not printed, are to be credited, the new buildings give shelter and opportunity for such dissipation and debauchery, as would have shocked into recoil and remonstrance even savage ideas of decency and dignity. /The Kona district is not adapted to and tillable lands. If preference should be given to Hawaiian! as intending settlers, who of them will take up such lands and build up homes for themselves ? The lands originally allotted to the Hawaiian occupants have generally passed into the control of the more industrious and enterprising Anglo-Saxon race. Would it be worth while for any one now to try and persuade the Hawaiian young men, loafing and lounging in all manner of disreputable places and pursuits, to avail themselves of this fresh opportunity to secure a home? It is such homes, abodes of peace and comfort for the middle class, neither poor nor rich, that constitute the sinews of a nation. Too much high breeding makes the race-horse, thinskinned, and too nervous for the wear and tear of life. Too great accessions of ignorant field-hands are no more desirable additions to the population of a country than would be flabbiness and obesity to the average man. Just now, the talk is about a possible revival ofthe coffee industry. The coffee berry, like the grape, gets an indefinable flavor from the soil on which it grows; and good Kona coffee has as peculiar and as grateful a flavor as Mocha, or Java. Hut how to manage the blight? We learned nothing about that from the expert employed by the Government. That good coffee commands twenty five cents a pound is the stimulus that is waking up even somnolent Hawaiians to set out trees and start a coffee plantation. That this can be done in a small way is one of the facts that make this a promising undertaking. The cheap labor necessary to pick the berries might he easily provided if the .Secretary of the Hoard of Education would not persist in running the schools by the calendar year, but arrange the vacations in the coffee districts so that the children could have the opportunity to earn a little money, and learn the value of a dollar. In Kau the cattle look fat and sleek. In fact, the evenly-distributed rains of this season have made fat cattle so plenty that the question with ranchmen is where to find a market for their stock. From Kau they are now driven to Hilo, where a new meat market has just been opened specially to dispose of them. But our island markets, for any article of production, are so limited, that an old settler found to his cost when he undertook to raise beans; one bushel beyond a limited amount would flood the Honolulu market. From Kawaihae seventyfive head of cattle were shipped to Tahiti on a venture, for even low prices could not force a sale. But what a transformation a few years have brought on the windward side of Hawaii! From the water's edge up to the edge of the forest one belt of green that once lined these shores, the homes of a people, that never puzzled their brains over questions of tariff or reciprocity, but kept pounding their kapa mallets from day break till set of sun, where now we hear only at distant intervals the shrill whistle of the sugar mill? There is a marvelous contrast in the aspect of the country. There is a sad contrast in the condition of the people. > Hut even in the same country in studying the different nations of the world we see as marked contrasts. Compare, for instance, the Highland and Lowland Scotch, and while the Southron has delved and spun, the Highland crofters are now being turned out of their huts that wealth and leisure may have the pleasure of hunting deer in the Highland glens. It is the old story of Capital and Labor, of Chronos devouring its own children, Labor producing Wealth, and Wealth devouring Labor. drift of the times is towards more complete organization of industry. Sugar plantations have now been concentrated and consolidated, so that it would seem the minimum of expenditure per pound of product has been reached. Processes, too, have been simplified and unified, till it would seem the maximum of result for the given cost has also been reached. Wonderful boldness and skill have been shown in the use of the means employed, as one looks at the flumes carried along the sides of the precipitous ravines; over and above and around acres and acres of cane fields. Hut what opportunity has the plantation "hand to develope his manhood, or who cares for the souls of these contract laborers, who are rated at so many dollars a month?/ The Hawaiian Evangelical Churches. In the experiment that has been tried in this country of giving the Polynesian race, while only one generation removed from Barbarism, a representative con stitutional government, and a democratic church policy, we ought not to be disappointed if there are apparent lamentable failures and defects. Hut we do not throw away our ideals because of some practical difficulties. Would a despotism have done any better for Hawaii, than the old constitution did? Would such a peaceful and accepted overturn of affairs have been possible in a community that had not been trained to regard principles of right and justice as of higher account than the caprices and whims of any man? Would a prelatical form of church government have maintained even the forms of religious life under the measureless strain of trial to which the Hawaiian Evangelical Churches have been subjected for the last twenty years? It is manhood �Volume 46, No. 10.] that Gospel truths were given us to call out and elevate, not adherents or devotees to be enumerated and emasculated. The Hawaiian Evangelical Churches have been allowed to go on for years without any efficient supervision; not, because such holding people up to their responsibilities was considered unnecessary; but rather from a vague idea that' all that was needed was to be had in the system of government and education that had been established. The system may be all well enough; but how about the changed circumstances that the revolving wheels of time bring about? When the Hawaiian Islands were six months' distant from the United States, and the whole commerce of the country was supplying the limited wants of a few whaling vessels, who could anticipate how quickly the time wouid come when they would be only one week's traveling away, and an army of 40,00(1 laborers in equal numbers with the whole native population would be occupying every point of vantage? It is the rich soil, not the treasures of the seas, that the foreigner now wants, who comes to the Hawaiian Islands. Under the old government policy there was no holding official! up to their responsibilities. But under a proper representative constitutional government, this can be done and is done. So what our Hawaiian Churches need is not a new form of church polity, but such thorough application of Gospel truth to individual hearts and lives, that Christian manhood will show itself and assert itself. We cannot cut ourselves off from our past, if we would. These Hawaiian Churches must be taken just where they are, and as they are; and a true, heavenly spiritual life developed from the elements of character possessed by the race and possible by it. A Hawaiian cannot be a Yankee, any more than he can be a Japanese or a Chinaman. Hut he can be a Christian, sincere, humble, loving, faithful, if not energetic, enterprising, shrewd at a bargain. There are hundreds of such devout, consecrated Christians in our churches whose influence ought to be greater than it is.

The Reports of the various Committees on the subjects assigned them are generally characterized by a lively Christian spirit, albeit on some points very conservative, as might be expected. Their dealings with the subjects of Temperance, of Social Purity, of the Sanctity of Marriage, of Observance of the Lord's Day, of Socialism, are on the whole quite fairly abreast of sound Christian sentiment generally expressed In respect to "Definite elsewhere. Teaching of the Truth," nothing could be much better than this, "We most earnestly press upon the Clergy the importance of taking, as the central thought oftheir teaching, our Lord Jesus Christ as the sacrifice of our sins, as the healer of our sinfulness, as the source of all our spiritual life, and the revelation to our consciences of the law and motive of all spiritual virtue. To Him and to His work all the teachings of the Old Testament converge, and from Him all teachings of the New Testament flow, m spirit, in force, and in form." We are thorough believers in "Christocentric" doctrine and preaching. It is especially gratifying to find in this Council evidences of a like genuine yearning after Christian Union to their brethren of non-Episcopal Churches, with that which appeared lately in a convention of Anglo-American Bishops. " " This expression of fraternal desire is and will be Cordially recognized and welcomed by other Christians generally. All true Christians musfpray that these yearning advances of Anglican Churches towards fellowship with their brethren, may grow and be fruitful of light and love, until all real and fancied barriers are overcome. It does not lessen our regard or sympathy with these good brethren that in their hereditary conservatism they are not yet able to reach over the barrier of the "Historic Episcopate.' to which in such manifestly conscientious fidelity, they still cling as the indispensable condition of church recognition. These things are matters of time and patience. We must all be content to work on for Christ, warring alike against "the world, the flesh, and the evil one," until every division of- the sacred arm)- has come into the clear light, and each owns the other's fellowship in Christ, caring naught for diversities of order or ritual. God speed the day! Letter from Prof. A. B. Lyons. In answer to our request for a stateof first impressions on return to Honolulu, Prof. Lyons has kindly furnished the following letter, addressed to an American friend : My Dear G Here I am at last at home again. Very unhome-like perhaps you would think it. for our house is as yet almost bare of furniture, and is in a chaotic and odoriferous condition, which tell of the recent presence of carpenter and painter. The prospect as 1 look out over the Punahou grounds is unfamiliar. There is scarcely one feature in it that I can recognize as belonging to the Punahou of old. Everything about the grounds is changed so Completely changed that I Can scarcely make myself believe that it was here that I spent six years of my student life. I look in vain for the distant view of the cocoanut palms of Waikiki, with the white surf line, and the deep indigo of the boundless Pacific beyond. A forest of trees—exotics, all of them—has completely shut off this view, without which it would have seemed to me that the place could not be Punahou. Hut in the stillness of these calm nights there peals out the magnificent sub-bass that I remember so well as the accompaniment of so much of the music of that old life, and I realize that the changes that seemed at first so radical are after all only superficial and trivial. The quaint old "courts," of which I have so often told you, are a thing of the past. Nothing remains of the old trees that once grew in them except one tamarind, ment : - which continues to shade the roof of the old corner building, in which it pleases me now to remember, that 1 was domiciled one year out of the six I spent here. Another tamarind tree, now of respectable size, standing about half-way down the old winding road, I left twentyfive years ago a mere sapling, where I had watched it grow from the sprouting of the seed planted by my own hand it is older now than I was then, and much more robustly and symmetrically developed. I wonder if there is any but myself who remembers the strange heraldic device that was displayed in connection with that little garden patch, or would to-day appreciate its significance. Yes, changed as is the place in so many of its external details, it is still haunted by a thousand memories that are as green as they were a quarter of a - century ago. When I go into the school-room, 1 find everything familiar. Not is the room practically unchanged, but in the seats I see identically the same faces that were so well known to me as those of my schoolmates. They answer now, it is true, to other names, but I feel sure that I know them as surely and as fully as of old. They belong indeed to another generation, but not one of them is fresher in heart to-day than I am. I had had some fears that I should find Punahou boys and girls changed degenerated, I was about to write, but that is too strong a word; but the type still exists, I am happy to say, in full vigor. None but animated faces and clear, honest purposeful eyes meet yours when you glance over the room.

When We reached Honolulu, we were detained half a day in the offing, awaiting the decision of the Hoard of Health with regard to the advisability of putting the passengers in quarantine. To main' this was an irksome delay. To me, it seemed an extraordinary piece ofgood fortune, in that it gave me opportunity to feast my eyes on the scenery whose beauty had lingered all these years in memory. Some things possibly 1 may have seen that had formerly escaped observation owing to lack of scientific training, but what my eyes dwelt upon was that which an artist would have tried to place if possible on canvass, so that others might share the 'enjoyment he had found in it. It is useless to try to describe it to a stranger. It included a sky as full of tender light, and of as deep a sapphire tint as was ever seen in Italy, a distant view through a transparent atmosphere of the picturesque Waianae mountains, full of calm and latent strength, the blue Pacific, also, in repose, save where its otherwise imperceptible swell met the basses of the reef, breaking into snowy lines of foam, the extinct volcanic craters of Diamond Head and Punchbowl Hill �Volume 46, No. 10.] 81 THE FRIEND. nearly as bare as ever of vegetation, and I and speaking their language fluently nearer mountains and valleys that rise 1and well.

The further recommendation of the committee that the Attorney-General institute such proceedings, as the facts shall warrant, against all parties engaged in such conspiracy, carried, and at 7:45 the House adjourned subject to the call of the President. 12th.—Executors of Estate of T.

Our Christian friends will be interested in the report from Kekela and Hapuku, of their work in the southern islands of the Marquesas group. After thirty-three years of p.'tient continuance among savage cannibals, Kekela is enabled to witness a brighter day of light, order, and education. We have already known how much the French authorities in their efforts to establish order, have valued the influence of our Hawaiian missionaries among the Marquesans. It is very gratifying to learn that the children of these missionaries are aiding the work of their parents. To Wm. W. Hall, Honolulu:-Best love to you and all your family. Your draft came safely to hand on the <>th are all in June. We, your missionaries, good health, except the wife of S. Kauwealoha, who was very feeble a while ago, but is now somewhat convalescent. On the sth of May, John Kekela who was our fifth child, was united in marriage to Emily, the daughter of Key. Z. Hapuku. Their ages are twenty-three and fourteen. My daughter and Hapuku's are the teachers in French of the Protestant girls, 80 and upward. A. Sarran, a Frenchman, is the teacher in French of the boys, 90 and more. Our youngest child, we have sent to Tahiti, where she lives in the school of Vienot, a l'rotestart, learning French and English. At the examination before the French governor of Tahiti, she received the highest prize from the governor as the best scholar. We hope to have her become the instructor of our Protestant girls. The Catholics also maintain schools; one in Fatuiva, taught by a priest; two in Hivaoa, under four nuns and one male teacher; two in Nuuhiwa, three nuns and one man, being the teachers. The French governor and the French iniitoi (?) incline towards the hulas and things of the dark times, and influence the people in that direction. The work of the Lord is not a failure. There are here some who love the Lord Jesus as their Savior. Please to give the .love of myself and wife to your family, and to all the Christian friends in Honolulu. I am your fellow-servant in the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. James Kekela. Puamau, June 11, 1888. 83 THE FRIEND. I and my family are very grateful for the prompt forwarding of our yearly stipend. The great work of our Lord Jesus Christ is growing; it has leaves; it is fruiting; it blossoms with beautiful flowers. [ state as follows : There are seventy pupils in the (iirl's Hoarding School in the French language. My daughter and the daughter of Rev. J. Kekela, are the teachers in French. They are both skilled (maalea) in that tongue. Two buildings are filled with the girls. The parents supply their food, clothing and fish. The Lord's work in this field continues. The members are steadfast. So it is with Hanaiapa, Hanamenu, Caaoa, and Cahautu. Myself and family are all well. We unite in much love to you and your /amily. From your truly loving friend, Z. Hapi'kil, Atuona, Hivaoa, June 14, IHBS. News of the Churches. The Island Association of Hawaii met at Waimea, September .*)-!». There was a full attendance of pastors and delegates. The Waimea people had made generous provisions for their expected guests. The special attraction at this time was the dedication of the monument to Key. Lorenzo Lyons, erected by the Sunday School Association in loving remembrance of one whose labors for them in the service of song had been so unwearied and so blessed. The reports from the Churches were unusually hopeful. The general testimony .was that while superstitious practices might occasionally come into notice, there had been no drifting away from the central truths of the Christian faith. The tricks and impostures of the kahuna, or "medicine man," were less influential, year by year in deluding the people. The general observance of the last Thursday in each month as a day of special prayer for lepers, and for deliverance from this invader of the home, shows that when one in thirty of the Hawaiian people are segregated, and another sixtieth may expect to be, the physical condition of the people is alarming, as evidently so as the danger of spiritual death. A large part of the time of the Association was given to the examination and ordination of two students of the North Pacific Mission Institute, called to the pastorate of the Churches in Waimea and Paauhau. The Union Church of Laupahoehoe and Hakalau failed to preient a satisfactory call and the candidate is to serve as stated supply till the next meeting of the association. A new pastor was installed at Waipio, and Hall. one was to be installed at Onomea. Mr. Wm. W. Dear friend:—Great love to you. Steps have been taken by the Hilo Yours of March 30 is received, also Church for the speedy settlement of a on June sth. Your draft came safely to pastor, and a subscription is in active and successful circulation for funds to % build a parsonage, for which an eligible lot has already been secured. It was voted to ask of the Hawaiian Board a gratuity for the the relief of the aged pastor at Kekaha, who has been suffering from sickness for several months. The Church building at Opihikao had come to be almost a ruin. The shingles had dropped off; the ceiling was falling down. Hut a deacon of the Church had mortgaged his property and came to Honolulu with the proceeds, to purchase the male; ial to repair it thoroughly. That is a Hawaiian way of doing things. Constant attention to needful repairs is foreign to their ideas and habits. They will let a building go to ruin; then with a spurt, rebuild and renew it. The Church at Kalapana is quite dilapidated, but the people out of their poverty have raised seventy-five dollars, which they hope soon to increase to one hundred dollars. Then they will put it in order. The Church at Waimea has been thoroughly renovated, painted and cushioned. A comfortable parsonage has been purchased. Though the personal solicitations of Miss E. VV. Lyons, this has been neatly and completely furnished, making a most comfortable and attractive home. The pastor at Kalapana has a sunrise prayer meeting at six o'clock, with an attendance of about thirty. There is a Sunday School, embracing nearly the whole congregation, numbering about one hundred and fifty. But the people are poor and for nearly five months he had nothing paid on his salary. He was supplied with fish and potatoes, and had a cow to milk and fifty chickens to supply him with eggs or meat. At last the sweet potato crop failed. So he went to his old home for a month, returning when the breadfruit began to ripen. He has preached so strongly 0:1 the evils of beer drinking, that sweet potato beer is no longer made in that district. He has been active, too, in suppressing the gambling, by which the Chinese storekeepers were getting into their clutches the little money or other possessions of the improvident Hawaiians. He holds on* to his work, living in the parsonage with only a bedstead, a washstand, a table, and two chairs for the furniture, cooking his meals in a saucepan over a fire of fagots between two stones. The Oahu Association meets in Kaumakapili Church, October 3. The Kauai Association meets at Koloa, October 10. Rev. IsaacGoodell isdoingagood work on Kauai. His musical talents are put to varied service for the special benefit of Hawaiians. He has occasional religious services also for the foreign community. The Hawaiian Board has appointed W. S. Lokai, a Colporteur for the sale of Bibles and other books, and he has begun his work at Waimea, Kauai, talking with the Hawaiians about their spiritual welfare as well as selling books. �[October, 1888 THE FRIEND. 84 THE T.

Among the causes that led him to backslide, and to go farther from Christ and duty, he gave prominence to what he called "No Harm,'' and he uttered a solemn warning to all persons to beware of these "No Harms." He was once a total abstainer, but he was induced to take a little domestic wine, being assured that it was some which his friends themselves had made out of their own grapes. There was no harm in taking a glass of that. The result was he soon became a confirmed drinker. He was invited to join in a game of cards. There was no money staked; it was simply an amusement. No harm in that. The result was, he became a skillful and constant gambler. He was invited to join ii a simple parlor dance to the music of a piano. There was no harm in that. But he soon became an attendant and danced at balls. Invited to the theater, he declined; but being assured the play was a perfect moral and proper one, and there was no harm in it, he yielded. It was not long before he became a frequenter of the theater, and preferred it to the prayer-meeting. Thus was he led down, down, lower, and yet lower, by these "No Harms," till all trace of Christian living was gone. Significantly he asked: "Who ever thought, in offering a cup of water to a friend, of assuring him there was no harm in it.— Watchman. Don't Swear. I know some good men, some of the best in the world, who will "confound" it, and even "dog-gone" it; and in New England even a deacon has been known, under a terrible strain to "condemn" it. But, as a rule, my boy, don't do it. Dod't swear. It is not an evidence of smartness or worldly wisdom. Any fool can swear, and a good many fools do it. Ah! if you could gather up all the useless, uncalled for, ineffective oaths, that have dropped along the pathway of my life, I know it would remove stumbling blocks from many inexperienced feet, and my heart would be lighter by a ton than it is to-day.

He intimate!, that by the mere omission to direct the pupil to the Church of Rome as God's sole channel on earth for human salvation, any religioui instruction necessarily becomes I'rotestant and soul-deluding instruction. Bishop Hermann is a very estimable priest, and we honor his candid and straight-forward presentation of his opinion, and of the fixed position of his church. It is not a bad thing to havethus distinctly brought before us those extreme demands of Rome for absolute submission to the behests of an Italian prelate and his ecclesiastics, who thus usurp the authority of our Divine Lord and King, and presume to interpose their arrogant claims between the soul and its Redeeming Shepherd and Master. Religious people often apply this term As to the schools, however, we are to public schools in which there are no not going to distress ourselves about religious exercises or religious instruction. Rev. Dr. Hyde recently lamented the exclusion of the Bible as a reading book from the Hawaiian schools, which (correctly, we think) he imputed to the late Judge Pomander, when holding the office of Inspector-General of schools, some twenty-five years ago. It was done in compliance with unquestionably the demands of the Catholic priesthood, Mr. Fomander being himself a Catholic, so far as he was not a free-thinker. This drew out Bishop Hermann, "of Olba." A rejoinder followed from"A Protestant Layman." Others took part, and there has been a general interchange of opposing views, conducted in a very courteous tone. Nothing new has been elicited. The Roman Bishop has asserted the well-known claims and position of his church as to religious instruction. The Protestant Layman has pointed out that there might be instruction and exercises in those Christian doctrines and precepts, so numerous and weighty, in which Protestants and Catholics alike agree. The Bishop utterly refuses to hear of any religious instruction for the children of his flock which does not emphatically teach that Christ's salvation can be received only through the priesthood of Rome. These are not his precise words, but they embody his The public school system of Hawaii is the child of the American Protestant Mission. As far as the schools are concerned, the Roman Catholic priesthood are mere interlopers. They never teach the common people in Catholic countries, even to read. The very idea of schooling is foreign to the minds of these Catholic Portuguese. The Romish priest dreads to have his flock know how to read, and above all to read the Bible for themselves. They will never learn anything in that book about the authority of the Pope, or the worship of Mary, or confession to the priest, or purgatory, or holj water, or indulgences, or any of the heathenistic accretions with which the Greek and Latin churches corrupted themselves during the miserable centuries of the dying Roman Empire. They will learn something entirely different in that blessed Book, even the pure doctrine of Christ and his Apostles. That Book must be diligently kept from the eyes and the understandings of the Catholic laity, lest they fall away from the authority of Rome, and so perish everlastingly. The general education of the laity, the Common School system, is something that Rome detests. Since, however, in Hawaii, as in the United States, Protestant Christianity got the lead, and the laws require all children to receive a good common school education, the priests make great and often creditable exertions to maintain schools of their own, where their youth shall be thoroughly indoctrinated into the Catholic corruptions of Christianity. We learn that the very worthy and zealous priests are now diligently forbidding the Portuguese parents to send their children to the new government school on School street, where tuition is free. They must send them to St. Louis College, and pay the fees. We hope that flourishing institution will turn out as really well educated pupils as any other school in the kingdom. If it does, we feel safe that they will become too intelligent largely to remain zealous Roman Catholics. - what would doubtless be an unavailing effort to have the public schools opened as formerly with Scripture reading and prayer. We should always send our own children in preference, to a school in which Bible religion was made prominent in the teachings of the istru:tors, anU also in their lives. We should hope, however, that the home teaching and example would render the lack of this a matter of minor importance. Why need a day school for teaching letters and mathematics and elementary science be denounced as "Godless" any more than a music school, or sewing school, or a cooking school, or a book-keeping class in the Y. M. C. A? We don't suppose that Mr. P. C. Jones opens his blackboard exercises with prayer; but no doubt the young fellows are the better for the evening's contact with a hearty, manly Christian. In a boarding school, the religious element becomes of essential importance in the Christian view, because it involves the daily home life of the pupils. But the Government public schools are only day schools. If by reason of relentless Romish resistance, we cannot have the Bible taught in them, we think the next best thing is to accept the secular mental training without it, and strive to supplement the The right to live involves the purpose to live aright. spiritual pabulum otherwise. �THE FRIEND. 86 Outings from the City. We drove out the other day to the Halawa divide, overlooking Kwa, five miles out. The road is now in superb order, barring a few spots in Palama. Those evil hills in Moanalua have been nicely graded down, as the) ought to have been thirty years ago. At least three of the five miles are newly graded and metaled. The present Department shows such a turn for road work, thai we even expect to see those absurd and horrible hills in Kalauao and Waimalu abolished before long, by throwing the ascent seawards, where even the clumsiest engineer would put it. It is a shame to leave such grades on the main thoroughfare seven and eight miles only from town. Forty yeara long have we endured this grievance—will one Thurston prove the deliverer from it ? Our companion on the drive was friend Kluegel who comes to lay out the railroad to Ewa. Some fourteen years ago he married Miss Mary Taylor, who was born here, the daughter of the first pastor of Fort Street Church, and granddaughter of the Thurstons. We trust Mr. K. may find it best to send for his He has had man)' years exfamily. perience on the Northern Pacific, Mexican Central, and other railroads. The line to Kwa is an unusually easy one, and running through rich districts, ought to be a very paying one. To glide on the rails along the beautiful Kwa Lochs, will give us charming and easy outings from Honolulu. From the broad Puuloa flats is a most noble view of our main mountain Siena with its deep furrowing canyons. We hope ere long to see that rich but arid plain vitalized by artesian fountains, and alive with green farms and populous homesteads. The district of Kwa is surcharged with copious fountains of water, but too little above the sea level to be available for the rich slopes above. Hon. Mark Robinson has for some years been lifting the water of one spring eight) feet by a turbine pump, copiously irrigating sixty or more acres of bananas on the upland. There are several thousand acres of rich soil a few miles beyond, irrigable by a lift of from twenty to sixty feet. Much of this tract can probably be supplied by Artesian wells without lifting. The watershed of Kwa is enormous, and the rainfall heavy on the upper rfflges as the rank verdure testifies. Of the lighter and more frequent showers inland, all soaks through the porous rocks, to emerge near the shores of the Lochs, or to be stored in the artesian water-bed. The storm waters rush in What tnormous floods to the lagoon. will ultimately be done wili be to construct systems of storage reservoirs by frequent dams across the ravines, whose slope is very gentle. From these the water will be led out over all the lower and richer uplands. We have no doubt that ultimately some ten thousand acres of exceptionally rich land in the Kwa district will be reclaimed by irrigation. Probably much of this will be so reclaimed in a short time, after the railroad opens the district more thoroughly than the present water communication can do. Mud shoals obstruct communtca tion with the shore along many miles of the finest lands around the lagoons. 'The United States Congress have just appropriated $260,000 at Major Powell's suggestion for preliminary surveys of the Rocky Mountain canyons with* the view of constructing storage reservoirs in order to stop the Missouri floods and to irrigate ten million acres of arid lands. Kwa presents a far more promising although a smaller field for like improvement, having a much heavier rainfall. 'The uplands slope more gently than any others in these islands except on the windward side of Kauai, where irrigation is abundant already. The railroad uniting the district closely to the city and port, will render the district, when irrigation is supplied, peculiarly adapted for a varied farming production. French Occupation of Raiatea and Huahine. We are permitted to print part of a letter from Raiatea, dated June 7, IKNK, the writer of which, we are assured is a reliable witness. The French have possessed 'Tahiti some forty years. It appears that by some recent convention with Great Britain, the consent of the latter was given the 'fahitian government to annex the adjacent islands of Raiatea and Huahine. 'This appears to have been in consideration of the surrender by France of the New Hebrides to Great Britain. Raiatea in common with the other Society islands, has been evangelized for some seventy or eighty years. The people have, however, made no such progress in civilization or intelligence as have Hawaiians. It seems very doubtful whether French governors are likely to improve them socially or financially. Polynesians prosper best when they ally to themselves philanthropic whites, and submit to their direction in politics and finance. The brave Raiateans merit our sympathy; but it is unlikely that they are capable of conducting any government which can cope with the conditions created by the growing trade of the Pacific Ocean. I think I told you of the first bombardment of the Tevaitoa, and the retreat of the natives to the mountains; so to proceed, on the seventeenth of March France formally annexed the whole of the group, and hoisted their flag in the presence of the French party only numbering about thirty spectators, and couldn't raise a cheer among the whole lot. * * [November, 1888 On the '21st, the Governor of Tahiti with the frigate Dceres went to Huahine and found that the people had revolted and put down the (,)ueen and all the governors, for allowing the French to take the islands, and had installed a new (,)ueen. The Decres commenced to shell the beach, and landed a force of marines and sailors in three lots. They were met by a handful of natives and their officer and three men killed and 21 men wounded, all in about ten minutes. The French had been firing from small arms, gatling and shell guns, and managed to slightly wound one native. After the loss of their men, they beat a retreat to their ship, taking their flag with them, and sued for peace, which was granted on the conditions that no Frenchmen should land, and the removal of the soldiers. As soon as the news reached here, the natives were all of a ferment, and Tanaau, who had removed his headquarters to Avera valley, called all his men together and declared war, and sent written notices to all the white men to clear out of the way. The French commenced to fortify the King's house, and intrenched themselves there. The two men-of-war got their broadsides to bear on ihe beach, and everybody cleared out with the exception of two Americans, and Mason and myself. The missionary, who was very sick, got into his boat and went to Avera and had a personal interview with Tanaau, and after five hours hard talking, prevailed upon him to stop for two weeks to give him time to write to the English Consul to know for certain if these islands were ceded to PranceThe French were as mad as hornets with Mr. Richards for the action he had taken in the matter, and threatened to place him under arrest; but if he hadn't stopped it, 1 believe there wouldn't have been a Frenchman left on the beach. At the end of the two weeks came a letter from the Consul, but the natives wouldn't credit it and resolved to light, but said they wouldn't fight in the settlement, but would await the French at Avera. After an interval of two weeks more, which was spent by the French in binning and destroying houses in the settlement, they proceeded to Avera with the Decres and to the 'Tevaitoa with the Scorpion, and kept up a most furious bombardment the whole of the day, throwing shell and round shot as fast as they could. Gatlings in all their tops and in all their boats. 'They returned to their anchorage at five o'clock, and very quietly buried two sailors at midnight. Of course we knew nothing of what had happened at Avera, and 1 for one was very much surprised to hear that the native loss was one man slightly wounded and one dog and one horse killed at Avera, and at Tevaitoa nil. When theFrench heard of the success of their efforts, their rage knew no bounds. Since that time they have attempted nothing, but have occupied �Volume 46, No. 11.] their time in strengthening their fort and in destroying houses and pigs belonging to the rebel party, who make an occasional demonstration with a few men just to keep the French awake. The greater part of the people, non-combatants, are living on some small islands in the lagoon, and all business stopped. We are now expecting the Admiral, and I will let you know what eventuates on his arrival. Can write no more now, as the steamer leaves for Tahiti at once. A. G. B. Commodore Perry Observes the Sabbath. The third day dawned, again to usher in fresh anomaly. The Americans would transact no business on this clay. Why ? It was the Sabbath, for rest and worship, honored by the "Admiral" from childhood in public as well as private life. "Dontaku" (Sunday,) the interpreter told the bunio. With the aid of glasses from the bluffs on shore, the) saw the Mississippi's capstan wreathed with a flag, a big book laid thereon, and smaller books handed around. One in a gown, lowered his head, and all listening did likewise. Then all sang, the band lending its instrumental aid to swell the volume of sound. The strains floated shoreward and were heard. The music was "Old Hundred." In the afternoon a visiting party of minor dignataries was denied admittance to the decks of the vessels. Nor was this a mere freak of Perry's, but according to a habit and principle. This was the American Rest-day. The Commodore was but carrying out a habit formed at his mother's knee, and never slighted at home or abroad. "This was the only notable demonstration which he made before landing." A strange summons to the Japanese was this Sabbath morning salutation. The waters of Yedo Bay have since become a baptismal flood.— Griffis' Life of Perry.

The author has left the fitting encomiums of his father's life and work to be given in a chapter of memorial discourses and testimonials. But all through the book, one feels brought in contact with a devout and consecrated, as well with a heroic and generous spirit—one who loved his Lord, and loved his fellow men. We wish the portrait of Father Alexander were less sombre; and yet one sees there the eyes and lips prone to the cordial smile and genial jest, as well as the lineaments of the brave and resolute soldier. 'The volume is enriched by a brief memorial ol Mrs. Alexander who departed this life after the book had gone to press. Separated in their graves, their memories are hapjiily embalmed in the same volume. Flora oi ihe Hawaiian Islands. A description of their Phanerogams and Vascular Cryptogams. By William Hillebrand, M. D. Annotated and published after the author's death, by W. F. Hillebrand. London: Williams St Norgate. New York: B. Westermann & Co. Heidelbeig, Carl Winter, University bookseller. 1888. Bvo pp. 673. Four maps. Dr. Hillebrand was the most eminent naturalist who has resided for a length of time in these islands. Their most secret recesses were diligently explored by him for many years. The fruit of his greatest life-work is fitly embodied in this noble volume, one of the most exhaustive monographs ever produced on such a subject, and generously dedicated to the Hawaiian People, by whom he was greatly beloved and honored. All intelligent citizens of this country mu?.t feel it to be a great boon to be now possessed of a complete and minute account of our Island Flora. There would seem to be about 1500 species described, chiefly indigenous. A Compend of Botany is appended to the work, which will make it available for new learners. The indices appear to be thoroughly executed. Constituting a most valuable part of this book are the eighteen pages of Introduction, fragmentary and unfinished as much of it was left by the lamented death of the author. The testimony of the Island flora to the unbroken isolation of the Group from the Continents on either side, is of the profoundest interest. Dr. Hillebrand was fortunate in leaving a son who could so ably and thoroughly edit his father's work. this memoir of the younger Commodore Perry, lies in the fact that he was the distinguished agent of the United States in opening to the ingress of the world our important neighbor, the Empire of Japan, by the Treaty executed March SI, IKM. It is well known with what tact and straightforwardness Commodore Perry won that great victory over Japan's isolation, without shedding a drop of blood, and without threats or discourtesy. The story is ably narrated by his biographer. Mr. Griffis is the son and grandson of merchant shipmasters, and now Pastor of Shawnut Church, Boston. He writes with enthusiasm, clearness and power. The book is a lively one. He makes it evident that Perry was one of the ablest and noblest on the long list of America's naval heroes. He ascribes to Com. Perry the chief part in the reduction of the cattle of S. Juan dc Ulloa in the Mexican war. He makes him the leading promoter of the use of steamships in the navy, and of the improved guns of his day. Above all he gives the impression of a grand personality, brave, wise, generous and true, if perhaps a little bluff and stern. Our naval friends doubtless know and value this book already. We commend it to landsmen. If one should visit your great city of New York, or other great cities, he would be struck with the noble institutions charity has built up, asylums, almshouses and the like. He would find also such institutions as your Girard College and your Pennsylvania University, instructing the people in everything that can advance and ennoble society. When all this had been seen and applauded, your visitor would pass down your streets and find the dramshops at every corner and crowding the centers of every block. He would ask: "Where do the inmates of the almshouse and the madhouse and of the hospitals come from? How could all this flood of misery creep in?" And the grog-shops make answer: "It is from us." I cannot understand how, year after year, you tolerate the presence of these feeding-grounds of want, misery, debasement and crime in your midst. W.M.Evarts. Mission Life in Hawaii; Memoirs of Rev.

Probably the editor knows and cares as little about Hawaii as he does about Borabora or Butaritari. It is a conundrum to us in Honolulu from what correspondent or informant a Christian paper could have derived such absurd statements as that the Hawaiian Government was on the eve of bankruptcy; and was laying hold of any money it could find for current expenses! The latter imputation does seem to describe the Gibsonian finances. Is it possible that the Christian at Work has fished up some old paragraph about Hawaii to do present duty? The Cjuarterly Report of the Finance Department makes a very satisfactory showing. The Treasury holds a large sum in hand. Customs receipts have increased. The excellent credit of the Government is attested by the large and steady increase of deposits in the Postal Savings Bank, on which the Government pays five per cent, interest. There have been persistent efforts of a malicious nature, to damage our credit abroad for more than a year past, and the Christian at Work has repeatedly, though we must believe inadvertently, countenanced these wretched slanders. This kingdom is, however, substantially independent of foreign credit, although there are projected public improvements which would be facilitated thereby. The Presidential Campaign. In a few days the election of a President of the United States will have taken place. Senator Evarts has called attention to the fact that it is exactly one hundred years since Gen. Washington was first elected to the Presidency, under the then new Constitution. No purer, and but one greater man has succeeded him in that office. It should be matter of thankfulness that in this Centennial campaign no charges of personal unworthiness are being hurled against either Cleveland or Harrison, and that the great issue between the two parties, is only how best to regulate the imperial and overwhelming prosperity of the nation. ac Iits ommon fashion to deprecate itements of the quadrennial Prescampaign as a great evil. Many [November, 1888 persons wish a President need be elected only once in six or eight years, so as to diminish what they think to be the corrupting effects of such excitements. Of course, it is not to be denied that such great agitations are attended by some evil. We think, however, that the benefits are vastly in excess of the harm done. One of the worst conditions in public affairs that can exist in any republic is a general indifference and neglect on the part of the people, and a torpid ignorance upon the great political issues of the times. in each kind of revival, the relative proportions of evil and good will vary according to the spirit and wisdom of the men who promote them. The present campaign seems rather a typical one, a contest upon interesting political issues rather than upon personal merits. It is noted as an interesting coincidence, that the first Act, not of a merely formal nature, passed by the F"irst Congress a century ago, was one enacting a Protective Tariff. months of dull grinding over lessons. Now this is just what the enthusiasm of a Presidential campaign do for multitudes of the people, especially the young. It educates them upon the great questions of national importance. For instance, in the present campaign, it is impossible but that millions of young men will gain an immensely enlarged knowledge and activity of mind upon the great and very important topics of Protection and Free Trade, with all their related topics of Foreign commerce, Domestic manufactures, Tariffs and Taxation. It is urged per contra, that there is a greatly intensified activity of evil in the lower strata of political action, drawing in many who would otherwise have escaped the taint. It seems to us that that sort of foul work is at its worst in the off years. When the great excitement is on, the people are less disposed to stand the foul tricks of the ward caucuses and the bosses. In Presidential yean, corrupt nominations have far less chance than at other times, because the public are more keenly awake. We regard a great political revival, not very differently from what we do a great religious revival, a time of grand enthusiasm and agitation on noble questions—a time not wholly unfruitful of special evils, but vastly more productive of great good. We need not add that with him. It seems to us that the American Board have failed to take in the fact that there are 20,000 Chinese in the Hawaiian Islands in circumstances peculiarly favoring their evangelization, that they live here in the presence of and in contact with a very enlightened and comparatively active Christian community. The same labor expended among them seems far more likely to become fruitful than in China, where few white Christians are to be seen, and the merits of Christian domestic life can seldom be observed. Whatever course is taken as to farther Chinese immigration, it is of the deepest moment to the future of these Islands that the Chinese now here, and to remain here as a large proportion will, should become imbued with Christian sentiments, that they may become good citizens. To the Christian believer, the affectionate regard to them as possible fellow heirs to the heavenly glory, is sufficient motive, Mission Workers Among the Chinese.

The next quarter will show a still greater improvement in Hawaii's financial condition to which the attention of the N. Y. Tribune and Christian at Work, and a few other similar prophets of evil are respectfully invited that they may witness the "bankrupt" condition of this government which they assert "nothing can prevent in the near future." In added proof of the stable condition of the finances of the country, and the confidence reposed in the present government by our own people, it may further disconcert the above referred to prognosticators when we state that the steadily growing receipts from the Postal Savings Bank has necessitated the withdrawal, by the Minister of Finance, of the balance of bonds under the last loan act from the market, in order to have the new legal guarantee to protect Savings Bank depositors, a precaution the late administration cared little for. Figures are not at hand at this writing to show our financial state when the late mal-administration ceased, so as to present the comparison in tabular form, but if there was a more striking contrast required between the late Gibson and present Reform Ministry, than in the Lowrey, chairman of the Entertainment Committee, who afterexpressing pleasure for the occasion that brought them together, and extending brief words of welcome, called upon Messers T.

It was just four months that night, since he left Honolulu and his brother who had accompanied him followed four days later. They were pained on arriving in San Francisco to hear of the death of Rev. A. O. Forbes, whose funeral they attended on the following Sabbath in Colorado. The following Saturday, July 21st, they left New York in the steamship City of Berlin. There were on board about forty persons on their way to attend the conference, including delegates from Brooklyn and other important places; also Mr. K. C. Morse, General Secretary of the International Committee. Many entertainments were got up during the voyage by the various secre- taires, who were naturally very efficient in that respect. One lady who was not religiously inclined said she had no idea the members were such jolly good fellows. That was an instance of the way 89 in which their influence was exerted among people not connected with them. Several prayer meetings were also held on board and many attended them, because they had met the members at the entertainments. On arrival of the boat at Liverpool they heard of a reception provided for their comfort, also the delegates who had already arrived in London, by Mr. Geo. Williams, founder of the Y. M. C. A. at Exeter Hall. They themselves did not have the pleasure of attending, because the)' had left the boat at Cjueenstown; also because it had been planned by the English brethren to make an excursion to the fjords, in the north of Norway. The part of the company who went there from Ireland met the others at Edinburgh, where a reception was provided for the delegates. From thence they embarked in a small steamer. There were about eighty delegates, and the trip was made in twelve days. It was described as most charming and the scenery simply wonderful. On arriving at Thronsjem they found waiting for them a special car ordered by King Oscar to carry them to Stockholm. They arrived Sunday morning, but as they could not conscienciously travel on that day the train was held over till Monday. The speaker and his brother, however, went by another route, leaving London, about five days after the other company by way of York and Newcastle. They left the latter place on Friday in a small steamer called theProspero The party numbered sixteen. They arrived at Christisniaon the Monday morning, following, spent a day and a half there and then left by train for Stockholm, arriving Wednesday morning. The Convention was formally opened at 10 a.m. on August 15th. It met at the Blasie-holm's Church in Stockholm —a building resembling Mr. Spurgeon's tabernacle in London. It held about two thousand. The number of those provided with credentials was 303, but many others attended, so that there were in all from 37ft to 100; the total number of delegates and friends was between 700 and HOO. The exercises were opened by an introductory sermon from the Key. Prof. Kudinof Upsala University.

If I undertake it, I shall hold you to the promise of a large patience, and a generous store of sympathy and solid help." Very truly yours, >>f il.c Hawaiian the Editor, appointad liy the lieve our OOOiaata, '/as. Bicknell, - - Editor. The New Secretary. The Hawaiian Hoard, about six weeks since, forwarded through the A. H. C. F. M. (who have a voice in the appointment) a call to the Key. Oliver P. Emerson of I'eacedale, K. 1., to take the office of Corresponding Secretary. Owing to the absence of the Boston officers at the annual meeting of the Hoard at Cleveland, some delay has occurred in their action upon the matter. Sufficient intelligence, however, has arrived to make it highly probable that Mr. Emerson will receive and will accept the appointment. To do so, he will have to resign a desirable pastorate, where lie has been for mail}' years, and is much beloved. Among not the least of hts qualifications for the work, is a not perfect, but quite idiomatic knowledge of Hawaiian, which will enable him to engage at once in active visitation among the churches. The following part of a letter to Dr. Hyde will aid in favorably introducing our expected helper: " 1 think I appreciate something of the importance of the work, and perhaps a portion of its difficulties, knowing what I do of the islands. And yet, for one who has a feeling of strong affection for the Hawaiian people, for one who would gladly serve them, I am sure its opportunity could hardly be matched. I will say that the work has for me a certain attractiveness, and that if I were to enter it, 1 should want to pay the price of its success. At this distance, and in my present inexperience, I could not exactly block out ni)- plan. In doing this I should wish to be assisted by your kind counsels and by the necessities of the case. Such visitation as you suggest I apprehend to be an all important part of the work. The Secretary would have to know his field, bring his personality into it, and be felt in it from end to end. ••As to in}' theological views, I am aware of none tiiat should present me from being in hearty sympathy with all evangelical Christians, and with the great missionary work of to-day. I have not adopted the so-called Andover hypothesis. I have a great fear that life in the body gives final fixedness to spiritual tendencies, and decides destiny {i Cor. 5:10). Life makes its solemn appeal to me as a final opportunity (John 9:4). My sympathy is with a theology that is Christo-centric —that takes him as the key of the Hible, and as the great fact of life. Through the Biblical and historical Christ, we get at the essential Christ, and the Holy Spirit is his forerunner even to the heathen. T believe that we 91 THE FRIEND. Oliver P. Emerson, Micronesia. Treasurer's Statement. The Treasurer of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association would like to make the following statement in regard to the finances of the Association: The receipts from the Hawaiian churches throughout the Islands have fallen oil" very much during the past few years. A tew special donations have been made for special work, but the receipts for the general work of the Hawaiian Hoard have been small. The amount of funds now in the treasury available for the uses of the Association is but $770.20. The following accounts stand in debt: 8 82 SB Home Mission Chinese Work Micronesian Mission N. P.

Crawford & Cos vessels, and Mr. Clarke delivered a lecture in aid of the same object. The Gilbert Islanders, although fierce savages, were never cannibals, anymore than the Hawaiians.

And the credit accounts would foot $.'1,1H1.05. Deduct from the credit accounts the amount of cash on hand $770.20 and the balance $2,710.85 corresponds to the amount of the accounts in debt. If, therefore, collections and donations to the amount of $2710.86 were added to our treasury the debit accounts would be all wiped out and there would be just enough to settle all the credit accounts, should it be necessary; but nothing of a surplus would remain in the General Fund of the Hoard. What we need is the amount above stated to make good all the credit balances, and besides an amount gradually accumulating in the General and Foreign Mission Funds for the uses of the Association and to defray the expenses of the Foreign Missions. The sum of $5,000 is needed to carry on efficiently the work of the Board throughout the Islands. It is hoped that the Association will soon be able to secure the services of a new Secretary to supply the place so ably filled by the late Re*. A. O. Forbes, and that his efi'orts among the churches throughout the Islands may stimulate the members and friends to give according to their means to the cause, which includes a great variety of Christian work done on the Islands. Wm. W. Hall, Treasurer Hawaiian Hoard, The American Board at its annual meeting reports the following gains over last year's reports: 70 additional centers of evangelical effort, 1 ordained missionary, 90 young women connected with Woman's Board, !l native pastors, 55 preachers, 11 churches, 4,'.iSrt church members, 1,000 young men and women in high schools and colleges (now 7,000 in all), 34,000 in common schools lvi all), $121,274 native contributions (in all). In the above figures, no reference is had to the Hawaiian Islands. The total expenditures of the year were $666,399.96. Means for an increase of expenditure of 150,000 are urgently called for.

This page is devoted to the interests o. the Honolulu V'uiiny Men's Christian A«sociaiion, and the Hoard of Director-, are responsible for its contents. S. D. Fuller, - - - Editor. (Contenued from page By.) Among the delegates fourteen different languages were spoken. The speeches lost their force somewhat in translation. The discussion was so rapid it made a kind of modern Babel. Translations were made into English, French, German and Swedish. The next thing after opening was the report of the World's Central Committee, whose headquarters are at Geneva. It was a very favorable report. It stated that there were throughout the world 3,801 Associations, 1,468 in the United States, 72 in Canada, 021 in Great Britain, G73 in Germany, 505 in Holland, .'lO3 in Switzerland, 93 m France, 00 in Norway and Sweden, 17 in Denmark, 47 in Asia, 12 in Africa, 25 in Oceanica, and the rest are scattered throughout Kussia, Italy, Spain and other parts of the world. The work had made the greatest progress in the United States. The Associations there numbered 950 in 188 I, and in INSM the number, including Canada, is 1240; the number in Canada being 72. The property of the Associations in the United States had increased in the four years from $4,0(JO,000 to $7,000,000. The work in Germany, although increased since ISS4, and numbering 673 Associations, only supports nine secretaries, who give their full time to the work. The Associations on the Continent are very different from those of England and the United States. They are very like Societies of Christian Endeavor, generally composed of the members of one church, whose pastor heads the Association. After listening to the Report of the Central Committee the meeting adjourned and the members received tickets for lunch provided by the ladies of Stockholm and for dinner each day at one of the best hotels in Stockholm. The association's work is so limited in Stockholm that great credit must he given to those who tendered this hospitality, because it fell upon so many not connected with them. King Oscar 11. contributed liberally towards the expenses of the Conference. During the meeting a telegram was received from him at Berlin regretting his inability to attend and invoking the blessing of the Holy Spirit upon the Conference. At the Association's rooms in Stockholm each delegate was presented with a badge bearing his national color—i. e. the principal nationalities, the Hawaiian delegatesreceived thecolors of the United States. A room was also set apart for each nationality, equipped with newspapers, writing materials, etc. The meetings were called to order on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 9 o'clock. They were opened by one of the Ministers of Stockholm, followed by singing, and about twelve or fifteen prayers occupying as many minutes. The delegates of each nation sat together as the roll was called, they would rise in their places. The week was spent mostly in listening to papers ably prepared upon different phases of the work for young men, followed by discussion. Those who are trying to can"}' on the work on the Continent encounter a gootl deal of difficulty, as the state churches feel that they aie in opposition. There is no union between the two, but the work has increased and is increasing. and wherever conferences have met, it has done a good deal towards dispeling this feeling. The work has increased'in Paris four-fold since 1884. The Stockholm Delegates had great hopes of the good accomplished through holding the conference in that city. Agencies for the physical development of young men were considered for the first time and awakened great interest. The importance of this department was well brought out by a paper prepared by Mr. Luther Gulick, Gymnasium Instructor at the '-Training School for Christian Workers" in Springfield, Mass., and the discussion it provoked. Mr. Wishard's work among the Colleges in United States excited intense interest. He was authorized to visit the non-christian lands to organize Y. M. C. A. work in their colleges and universities. He purposed going through China and India and around the world. On Friday afternoon the members were invited by the citizens of Stockholm to an excursion. Three good sized steamers were provided and some 700 guests attended. He (Mr. Cooke) and party took passage in the Victoria, and the cruise around the beautiful waters of Stockholm was much enjoyed, especially as they were accompanied by the glee club of the Upsala University. On the return of the steamer they called at Skuri and were there entertained at tea by Capt. and Mrs. Ahlberg. At this place Mr. Geo. Williams gave an earnest talk, and was met personally by the speaker who had left at this gentleman's office in London a scroll, of which he was the bearer, from the Chinese Y. M. C. A. in this city, acknowledging his kind assistance (a donation of $100) toward the erection of- their building. On their return to Stockholm the excursion party were greeted with fireworks and illuminations. On Sunday the conference had no regular meeting in the morning, but in the afternoon there was a Bible class, attended by about three hundred. Mr. Kennedy, the London Secretary, delivered an address. During their stay the delegates received an invitation from the Crown Prince of Norway & Sweden to an entertainment at the Queen's Palace. It was not the speaker's privilege to attend, as he had to leave before the close of the conference. The conference was a decided success. One point of note was the temperance cause. German}' begged to be excused bringing that in, as it would break up the work in Germany; where beer was a thing so common. One gentleman spoke of this very earnestly to this end, although a member of a temperance society himself—the only one in Germany of which he knew. The feeling among the English and Americans was that this was an important branch of their work, and that all the associations should take their stand upon it. He was more than ever impressed with the magnitude of the Association's Mission. The next Conference is to be held in Amsterdam, four years hence. Mr. A. F. Cooke followed with a brief report of the California State Convention, which they attended in Fresno, and some personal impressions gathered during the trip. The remainder of the evening was spent in social intercourse, enlivened with plenty of ice cream and cake. Sunday Evening Topics. The Gospel Praise Service, which is held in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, every Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock, will have the following topics for the month: Nov. 4—Credible Witnesses. 2 Pet. 1:10-18, 1 John, 1:1-3. Nov. 12—Joyous Dedication. Ezra 0:15-22, Acts 8:36-39. Nov. If—Fighting and Winning the Prize- 1 Tim. 6:12-10, 2 Tim. 4:7, 8. Nov. 25—Add to your Spiritual Possessions. 2 Pet. 1:5-8. — The fundamental principle in all good teaching is that the specific precedes the generic. General principles and truths are deduced from specific illustrations. But in our common methods of education we reverse this process, stuff our children's memories with laws that they cannot understand, and then expect them to proceed to the illustration and events from which those laws have been deduced. We ought to reverse the pn cess. We are beginning to put lai guige first and grammar afterward, as the vernacular is always taught in the home. This is the natural method; so we ought to teach, in arithmetic, problems first, rules afterward; in science experiments first, generalizations afterward; in geography, physical facts first, political divisions afterward; in history, biography first, history afterward. To speak as we think, to do as we pretend and profess, and to make good what we promise. As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.— Thorcau. �THE FRIEND. How Was Sodom Destroyed ? It is useless to attempt to reconcile the Old Testament narrative with that phase of modern thought which denies Clod the power to use the forces of nature which are in so many ways obedient to man's will, or which denies that in fact he ever exercises that power. The two philosophies of history are simply irreconcilable. It does not help the matter to say that the "Id Testament miracles can be explained by reference to known natural laws. It may he lli.u an earthquake demolished the walls of Jericho, as a much more terrible earthquake demolished the greater part of Lisbon. It is certain thai a great wind drove back the Red Sea and made it passable for Israel, and that a volcanic eruption destroyed the cities of the plain. But in these and kindred cases the miracle consists in the tact that the event occurred at a specific time, .it a specific command, and accomplished the predicted and purposed en#, demonstrating the presence 'J iU-\ power of the I.aw-giver. —LvMAM Auboi i. Dr. Abbott is profound and discrimi- nating as an expositor of the Bible, and has a searching insight into its spiritual meanings. He is, perhaps, hardly as great in his physical explanations. In the above extract, he seems justified as to what he says about the Red Sea, by Exodus, 14:21. But it does not seem to us '-certain that a volcanic eruption destroyed the cities of the plain," adhering as we do to a belief in the substantial accuracy of the description of the attendant phenomena in Genesis, 19:24 28. There are several objections to this common hypothesis which Dr. Abbott has adopted. One is that the account makes the destruction instantaneously complete. Absolutely no time was allowed for the escape of any individual, after the first appearance of the destructive element, which is described as "fire and brimstone rained from the Lord out of heaven." The most sudden explosive eruption is attended by violent premonitory throes, always giving time for some persons to escape. The column of ashes, stones and other ejecta projected into the air takes time in falling, and those living in the outskirts of the devastated district have more or less time to escape before the falling matter overwhelms them. The destruction of the cities of the plain was sudden as if by lightning. Again the destruction is not described as an explosion upwards as in a volcano, but as raining down. It is true that after a volcanic explosion, there is a tremendous down pour, but it is not a fiery one. The ashes and cinders fall cooled by their immense expansion in the upper air. So far from fire being seen, the darkness under the ash-fall is intense. In Batavia in 1883, one hundred miles from Krakatao, it was impenetrably dark for many hours, and the ashes fell so cold as to chill the air. Near Krakatao the falling matter was mingled with water. It seems a fatal objection to the volcanic hypothesis, that there is no existing trace of such an eruption in that region. An explosive fiery shower that would utterly destroy five cities at once must have built up quite a cinder-cone like Punch-Bowl or Diamond Head, and it ought to be standing there now, and much fresher than our little craters, because probably more recent. Then to what natural agent was the event due ? We aie inclined to think that the Lord may have employed some natural agent in his miraculous work. Lightning is sufficiently sudden. It can hardly be imagined as powerful enough. One of the largest flashes would keep an Edison lamp going but a very short time. It might indeed serve to kindle the combustible bitumen below the cities; but it does not answer to the description of a " rain of fire" from heaven —a copious pouring down of fire over a considerable space. And then where is the •• brimstone" in lightning ? What seems to be indicated is some fiery element coming instantaneously and without warning from the skies, and in a copious shower. Now there is such an agent well known, which is quite capable of producing such a destruction as that described in Genesis, with all its attendant phenomena. It is the fiery shower of a large and finely-shattered meteorite. Large flaming meteorites have many times been seen traversing the earth's atmosphere, the diameter of whose flame was not less than one or two thousand feet. Such meteors have often been seen to burst like a bomb into thousands of flaming fragments. Now suppose such a meteorite, say one hundred feet in diameter, to have plunged into the earth's atmosphere near Sodom at a velocity of forty miles in a second, and by the friction of the air to have burst into a great conflagration, and then when immediately over the city, to have exploded into innumerable blazing pieces; we then have substantially the phenomenon described. Or we may suppose it to have been a small compact cloud of minute meteorites, in other words, a comet, which struck the earth at that point. An objection to this comet hypothesis would be that no comet has ever been seen of such small dimensions. Comets are getting to be somewhat understood, and such a comet as those we know of, colliding with our atmosphere, would probably produce a very dense shower of small shooting stars all over the globe at once. Still, there may be very small comets or congeries of meteorites only a few miles in diameter, related to the known comets as asteroids are to planets. Such a small dense comet, or such a large meteor exploding in striking a great city, might completely destroy it without a second's warning. In the case of the cities of the plain, the ground in the vicinity was honeycombed with slimepits (Gen. 14:10). In other words, it was a petroleum and asphalt country. The "rain of fire" whatever it was, ignited this combustible material, which consumed whatever was left, and probably produced a depression in the ground, which may have been filled by the waters ofthe Dead Sea. The prevailing belief of Bible scholars now is that the site of the cities was at the north end of the Dead Sea. In that case the mud deposits of the Jordan would long since have covered the last traces of the event. Sulphur is a constituent element in many meteorites. The stench of sulphuretted hydrogen is very commonly noticed in newly fallen meteorites which have penetrated the ground. The combustion of the petroleum seems to have been what Abraham witnessed (v. 28). "He beheld, and 10, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace." It will be said thai the destruction of cities by volcanic showers has repeatedly occurred, as Herculaneum and Pompeii; whereas, any considerable disaster from the fall of meteorites is unknown. Still, we think that the possibility of such disaster is evident, and that a volcanic eruption wholly fails to meet the conditions of the narrative. One thinks, as Lot was lingering and the angels laid hold of his hand and hurried him off, how they plainly saw that meteor or comet, then perhaps half as far away as the moon, but shooting with unerring aim to its doomed mark. Nay, even then God may have sent an angel's hand to hinder it a little, or to give Lot a little more time to escape. Or the same hand may have directed very slightly its course, so as to spare the little outlying Zoar, in compliance with Lot's anxious plea. In considering God's miracles as using the forces of nature, why are we not to think of the employment of physically mighty and highly-endowed angels as operating upon and guiding great physical agents at God's direction ? This idea seems to be quite in accord with the story of Lot's escape from Sodom. Rev. L. H. Gulick writes to Dr. Hyde: "The thought frequently comes to me that I could find no more desirable home for coming years than on my native islands. My work here is all that one could ask for, and is constantly growing upon me, but my heart often travels Hawaii-ward. Stranger things have happened than that I should some day appear among you! "Work in China has nothing very startling to report. Railroads and telegraphs are growing in length, and are silently doing a great work. In a week or two I shall set out on travels north and south," which will give me increased knowledge of affairs. I am soon to be relieved of pastoral responsibilities for our Union Church which I have carried now for nearly two * years." Lazarus came out with his grave clothes on, because he was to use them again. Christ left his behind him in the sepulchre, because he rose to die no more. Matthew Henry. — �THE FRIEND. T ITIHEO. H.

Yet with such share as we have of those, it seems as if on no shores can there be happier or brighter homes to be thankful for to the Father of all mercies than in this land of Hawaii—" Hawaii nei." The year is ending. Its record is nearly complete. Can we not round it out still better ? What acts of kindness can we yet do? What neglected duty yet fulfill before the year's record is closed ? Some good work begun now, some besetting sin now heartily repelled, some reform of habit now resolutely adopted, and the new year will be entered upon with courage and hopeful aspiration and joyful confidence. To such upreaching action, may all the Father's goodness impel us, in true Thanksgiving, as December hastens to its end. mercury S, K. BISHOP, Editor CONTENTS. roaokapivtoj I lAill' Mrs. ('. S. N.

Dr. Beckwith'* Thanksgiving Sermon conveyed the lessons and inspirations of the day in a most attractive and entertaining form in a jolly description of his own boyhood's experiences of Thanksgiving among the Berkshire hills. It abounded in the humorous and yet in the reverent—in the rollicking of the boys, and in the grave earnestness of the Puritan fathers and mothers. We are with Brother Beckwith on the Pie question—every time. None of your anti-pie dietetics for us. So the good mother's pies were bestowed where the four boys could not find them ! It looks as if there were some environments in which those boys could not be relied upon. They all turned out well, - however. We keep Thanksgiving in Hawaii very heartily as good Americans. The institution could hardly have been indigenous here. Seed-time and harvest do not belong to this mild clime. How gently our nominal winter opens today upon us.

Another one has just been withdrawn from the last few and fast closing lives of the Missionary Parents. Mrs. Ursul i Sophia Newell Emerson has, in her turn, been taken to her blessed Rest, at the advanced age of eighty-two years. The announcement came by telephone from Waialua, in the early hours of Saturday, November 24th, that the dear and venerated mother Emerson had passed away at three o'clock. She had sat at the supper table in her usual health and cheerfulness. At the hour of retiring, she was taken ill. The local physician found her beyond anything but a relief of present pain. Old age had expended the vital forces, and she soon lapsed into the last sleep. Dr. N. B. Emerson chartering the steamer Kaala, the Revs. Dr. C. M. 93 The Friend. NIJMItKR 12. Hyde, S. B. Bishop and E. S. Timoteo, with other friends proceeded to Waialua in the evening, arriving at the old Kmcr son home about midnight. The attenu- ated and venerable form of the dear Mother lay there, attended by her af fectionate Hawaiian friends and former pupils, who watched lovingly therewith, until the last moment. Funeral services were held on Sunday noon, in the Hawaiian church. A con gregation of eighty Hawaiians and thirty whites was gathered. Key. K. S. Timoteo, the pastor, and Rev. S. E. Bishop offered prayers and addressed the people in Hawaiian. Dr. Hyde prayed and spoke tonchingly and appropriately in English. Three familiar and favorite Hawaiian hymns were sung. The grave was opened by the side of tfiat of the husband, Rev. J. S. Emerson. As the precious form was laid therein, the strains of " Sweet Bye and Bye" floated tenderly on the air, the voices blending in English and Hawaiian. Mrs. Emerson was born at Nelson, N. H., Sept. 27, 1806; she made public profession of religion in March, 1829; was united in marriage Oct. 25, 1831 to the Rev. John S. Emerson, then under appointment as missionary of the A. B. C. P. M., and sailed from New Bedford Nov. 26, 1831, in the ship Averick. Mr. and Mrs. Emerson were stationed at Waialua, which was their life-home, saving four years from 1812 to 1846, spent at Lahainaluna Seminary. Mr Emerson died of apoplexy March 28 1867, and fortwenty-one years in widowhood, the aged Mother Emerson has continued to abound to the last in good works and faithful labors for the people to whose service her life was consecrated. She was in her accustomed place on her last Sabbath, instructing her Bible-class. Mr. and Mrs. Emerson enjoyed but once a furlough from their Missionary labors, visiting the homeland in 1860. Among the more obvious traits of Mrs. Emerson's very lovely character, were a patient fidelity to duty, and great gentleness towards others. During a life acquaintance, we do not remember ever to have heard a severe or unkind expression respecting others from her �94 lips. A tone of sweet and patient kindness toward all seemed to pervade her nature. Her house for fifty-six years so familiar to all who passed through Waialua was always sweet with her gentle pretence, full of kind words and kindly attentions. With all this ruled a quiet common sense and sound judgment, eminently adapted to the manifold emergencies and strange contingencies of a missionary's life. Mrs. Emerson's was one ol the very few .ild missionary homes which have been kept up after the death of the husband and lather, especially where as at Waialua, the once large native population has become reduced to a small remnant. Of the large reinforcement of 183J, her death leaves Mrs. Arm strong now in San Jose, and Mrs. Hitchcock of Hilo, the sole survivors. Two sons lie by their parents at Waialua, and a daughter in the old mission graveyard at Kawaiahao in Honolulu. Five sons survive, Mr. Samuel N, Emerson, long resident at the old home; Dr. Nathaniel B. Emerson of Honolulu. President of the Board of Health; Dr. Justin E. Emerson, of Detroit, Mich.; Mr. Joseph S. Emerson ol the Government Survey; and Key. Oliver P. Emerson, of Peacedale, R. 1., now under appointment as Corresponding Secretary of the Hawaiian Board. It is a sight of rare sweetness to observe a bright and peaceful old age like that of Mrs. Emerson, closing so gently and easily. It was an old age not without its special cares and solicitudes The busy bravely and patiently borne. and skilful hands wrought to the last. The unresting feet, though weary, did not forsake their wonted rounds, although filial care had supplied efficient aid to relieve. Her church and Sabbath school cares she never relinquished. Though her strength had greatly failed, it was her noble record to have "died in harness," even in her great old age. Yet with all her care and toil and solicitude, her presence did not impart care and worry to others, but was ever a ciieerfuland gladdening presence through the lender and patient quietness that ruled her spirit. Mrs. Emerson's faith seems to have been always full and trustful. Her soul ever rested on the Lord. We have laid away her aged form to its last sleep, in the bright hope of a glorious Resurrection. We have the dear assurance that this aged and toilworn servant of tne Lord has passed easily and gently to a higher life of joy, of growing gladness and glory, of endless youth and vigor. Earthly opulence she had never tasted. Now we cannot but count the departed saint as truly and highly rich in all the real wealth ofexistence. We are sure that her life choice of missionary service was a noble and happy choice. By faith we know that it is now gloriously recompensed and con- summated. [December, 1888 THE FRIEND. Dr. Ellis on the Death of Capt. Cook. Aii authentic narrative of a voyage performed by Captain Cook and Captain Clerke. in His Majesty's ships Resolution and Disco-eery during the years 1770, 1777, 1778, 177<J and 17«0; in search of a Northwest Passage between the Continents of Asia and America. Including a faithful account of their discoveries, and the unfortunate death of Captain Cook. By W. Ellis, Assistant Surgeon Co both vessels. London, Mdcclxxxii. *J vols. The above work is believed to be c\ tremely rare. It appears to have been unknown to Mr. Pomander (and therefore to all preceding historians of the Hawaiian Islands), according to the following passage from his History, referring to the death of Captain Cook. "There are three independent sources of information: King's continuation of Cook's journal, Ledyard's life, and the records of native reminiscences." To these Dr Ellis' account adds a fourth source of testimony. The book came for a short time into the hands of the present Editor of the pRIENOa few years ago, and portions were copied by him. It was the property of Captain Doughty, 11. B. M. S. Constance. He declined to sell it, but was afterwards prevailed on to part with it to His Majesty Kalakaua, in whose possession we presume it now remains. Capt. Doughty stated that he found it in a second hand book stall. Some little breeze of controversy having lately been re-stirred* as to the circumstances of Cook's death, we present here with the passages of Dr. Hllis' account relating thereto. The statements concerning portions of the body restored to the ship are of especial' interest. The surgeon would naturally be a very competent witness thereto. We may hereafter print other extracts from this book. This portion of the story commences with the return of the ships to Kealakeakua, after their first visit there. The year is 1779. At two in the morning, (Peb. 9th), the Resolution hailed the Discovery, and informed her that she had sprung her foremast, on which account Captain Cook intended to make the best of his way to the old harbor. Our weather proved very disagreeable, with a strange unaccountable sea, attended with a very short and heavy swell, one of which came rolling in at the great cabin windows, and almost carried away everything in it. Our observed latitude was 20 degrees, 5 minutes N. We found a strong current running to the northward. The next day was cloudy, with heavy showers ofrain, and the whole of it spent in endeavoring to regain our port, but will success, so were obliged to stand oft'and on all night. Thursday, (the 13th), was fine with flying c!"uds, and at half-past six in the morning, the Resolution anchored in the bay; the Discovery not being far enough to the eastward, was obliged to tack and turn to windward, and at nine dropped her .in, hor likewise. All hands were immediately employed in preparing to ,he Resolution's foremast, which gel job v, is next day effected, when it was conveyed on shore, and the carpenters of both ships set to work upon it. The natives cone off as before, and we purchased hogs, breadfruit, tarrow, and other productions of the island, as usual; but we could not avoid observing that they were more bold and daring in their attempts to thieve than before. Saturday, (Peb. 13th), the weather was clear and pleasant, and our carpenters weie at work upon the mast, while our launches were employed in filling water out of a kind of well in the rocks, near the head of the bay. The natives wen, on board as usual, trading for hogs, &c, and the women were also trading in then way. It must be observed that many of the Indians had been, both now and before, very attentive to the armorer while at work, and took particular notice of the tongs and chisels which he made use of, with his mode of using them; and finding that they were so essentially necessary in the forming the different iron work, they had long beheld them with an eager eye, and were fully persuaded, if they were once possessed of them, they also could work as well as we. Urged by this motive, one of them, at the instigation of Purraah (Palea) as we afterwards found, watched an opportunity, while the armorer of the Dist over v's back was turned, seized the tongs and jumped overboard; s.imt of our people immediately pursued, and soon took him, and being brought on board, he received quite a severe thrashing. In the afternoon another fellow, set on likewise by Purniah, ran from the opposite side of the deck, and in the face 01 several people, seized both tongs and chisel, with which he made off. This was so sudden and daring an attempt, that for some time we were at a loss how to act, and the man had got on board a canoe that was waiting for him at a distance, before a boat was sent in pursuit of him. Several muskets were fired, but without effect, and the canoe had greatly the advantage of our boat, Punaah, who was at this time on board, said he would endeavor to recover them, and immediately put off. After a long chase, the canoe got in -shore, and the man landed; the boat arrived soon after, and Mr. Edgar, the master of the Disrovery, who had been sent in her, landed also. The natives upon this pelted them with stones, and a skirmish ensued; Purraah, who soon came after, seized Mr. Edgar, and secured his arms behind him. At this instant, the Resolution's • �Volume 46, No. 12.] THE FRIEND. 95 pinnace arrived, and one of the men, tendants, who probably were apprehen- under his left eye; Mr. Phillips was seeing Mr. Edgar's situation, struck sive of some design, earnestly begged wounded in the shoulder, and a corporal Purraah with his oar, who instantly and entreated that he would not.

The body being demanded, some told Mr. King that it should be brought off on the morrow, others.said that it was cut in pieces. Nothing farther could be learned from them; the boats therefore returned. The ships' companies, exasperated to the highest degree at the loss of their commander, and still more enraged at this behavior of the Indians, desired Captain Clerke's permission to go on shore, declaring that they would bring off the body in spite of everything, and burn down the town; this rash request of theirs was, however, prudently denied. During the night, a good lookout was ordered to be kept, lest the Indians should meditate an attack, and a boat was directed to row continually around the ships. Monday, (Peb. 15th), Hying clouds with showers of rain. Abo.ut ten in the morning, three of the natives, (one of whom was a priest) came off with a flag of truce. He told us we should have the Captain's body to-morrow, and was very desirous that Captain Clerke and Mr. King should go on shore with him; but this was entirely out of the question. In the afternoon, the effects of Captain Cook were disposed of; and about half-past seven in the evening, we were alarmed by the firing of two musUpon kets on board the Resolution. euquiry, we found that the sentry had discovered two Indians in a canoe under the ship's bows; they begged us to desist from all acts of violence, as they came on terms of friendship; and having hauled their canoe into the pinnace, which was alongside, they came on board, one having a bundle under his arm. Mr. King, who ran upon deck immediately upon the discharge of the muskets, perfectly recollected one of them, who had always shown a great attachment to Captain Cook. When introduced into the great cabin, they untied the bundle, which upon examination, contained the fleshy part of a man's thigh, the bone being taken out; this they told us, belonged to Captain Cook, and was all that remained of him, the rest being burnt. As they had brought this off by stealth, they were fearful of coming on board till it was dark, lest they should be observed by any of their own people. Having staid till ten. they returned to the shore. About twelve, three girls from the Morae side of the bay, swam -on board, and soon after a canoe, in which were two Indians, came alongside, but were desired to return, which they did very quietly. The girls remained on board. Tuesday, (the 16th), pleasant weather, with flying clouds. Several canoes passed and repassed from the shore to the Resolution. About noon, three of the natives came off in a canoe, and paddling towards the Resolution, one of them got up, and waved the hat which belonged to Captain Cook, threw several stones, and slapped hi«. posteriors. This being THE FRIEND. observed from the ship, several muskets and four great guns loaded with round shot, were fired at them, but without effect; they, however, did some mischief on shore, for soon after two Indians came off in a canoe, and told us they had killed one of their chiefs. The command of the Resolution, in consequence of the death of Captain Cook, devolved to Captain Clerke, and Mr. Gore, first lieutenant of the Resolution, succeeded Captain Clerke; Mi. King and Mr. Williamson were appointed first and second lieutenants, and Mi. Harvey, masters' mate was made third, February the 17th. In the morning, the Discovery hauled nearer the watering place, in order to protect the boats from the insults of the natives during their taking in water. Upon our people's landing, they were at first quiet, but soon after collected themselves, and began to fling stones. Several great guns wen. fired from the Discovery, whicli checked their progress a little; but they soon began again, and being sheltered by their houses and walls, our muskets did very little execution. In the afternoon, before the boats went again, the Discovery fired a number of guns, loaded with round and grape-shot, into the midst of the town; after which the boats were sent on shore, and our people set fire to tht houses, which cleared them effectually. In this attack, six of the natives were killed; and the sailors were so much enraged, that in spite of everything, they cut off the heads of two, one of which they tied to the bow of the Resolution's. large cutter, and the other they carried on board; hut as soon as the Captain was informed of the affair, he gave immediate orders for the heads to be thrown overboard. Many of the Indians. who had assembled upon the hills im mediately above the watering place. pushed down large pieces of rocks, but they fortunately did no damage except killing one of their own people. This was observed from the Discovery, and in order to dislodge them, two or three swivels were fired, which answered the purpose very well. One of the Indians was taken prisoner, and carried on board the Resolution. This poor fellow tully expected to be killed, and even after he was released, could at first scarcely believe otherwise; hut finding we had no such intention, he was at loss to express his gratitude sufficiently; every day during theremainder of our stay, he brought us breadfruit, tarrow, plaintains, and several hogs, and was almost continually on board. To wards the evening, a priest, named Kari-kaah, who resided near the morae, and had been our friend even to the last, came on board with a pig, which he presented to the Captain, who made him several presents, after which he re turned to the shore. Thursday, the 18th. In the morning, the boats were again dispatched for water, but not an Indian was to be seen. [December, 1888 About seven in the evening, one of them came swimming off to the ship upon a piece of wood, whereon was tied a bundle of roasted breadfruit. It was purchased of him, and he staid on board near an hour, and then returned to the shone. Whilst this man was with us. a canoe with three Indians came along side, laden with breadfruit and sugar cane; we very gladly bought their com modities, after which they departed. Hogs now were a very scarce article, so ih.it at length we were obliged to begin upon our corned pork. Friday morning, the boats were sent for water as before, which was now filled without the least molestation from tht Indians. Many canoes were paddling about, all of which carried flags of truce. In tiie afternoon, a chief came on board the Resolution, from Teniaboo, (Kalanioputi), to Captain Clerke, informing him that lie would bring all the remaining bones of Captain Cook, at the same time begged that we would enter into a league of friendship with him, and lay all animosities aside; that Terriabo6 was very sorry for the melancholy affair that had happened, and if we should ever come to this island again, he entreated that we should not hurt or molest them. i lie.-se terms being agreed to, he depart id very well satisfied. This man was dressed in one of those elegant long cloaks, with a green wreath on his head. I'he next morning at eleven, the chief came on board, bringing with him two bundles of cloth, which contained the iiones of our unfortunate Captain; the upper part of the skull, the scalp with the hair and ears, the bones of the thighs, legs and arms, and the hands on which was the flesh were all that remained; the ribs and vertebrae he told us were burned. They had cut off the long hair behind, which he said was in possession of Komrnaah-maah, a chief nearly relat ed to Teniaboo. The hands had several incisions in a longitudinal direction, both upon the back and inside, and a quantity of salt had been rubbed in, with a view to prevent putrefaction. Things being thus amicably settled, we the next day, (Sunday -Ist), purchased several fine hogs and plenty of breadfruit of the natives, who now came on board without the least signs of fear: among them was Kari-caah, our friendly priest. In the afternoon, the sad remains of Captain Cook were committed to the deep, with all the honors due on such an occasion.

Some who do not venture to criticize Christ, express their estimate of him by classing him with Confucius, Zoroaster. Buddha, and Mohammed. Those who do this certainly succeed in classing themselves, and not among great thinkers. You may class St. Peter's with New England meeting-houses, as being edifices for religious purposes; you may class Pike's Peak with the foot hills at its base, for they are all elevations of the earth's surface; but you cannot class |csus Christ with the founders of religions because he differs from them, not merely in degree but in kind.

News of the Churches. Kaumakapili Church, whose new building has cost $57,000, is troubled with creditors' claims for some $7,000 still unpaid. The Trustees have sent in an application to the Hawaiian Hoard, asking that arrangements may be made to mortgage the property, to satisfy these pressing claims. Rev. E. S. Timoteo, pastor at Waialua, has received a call to Wailuku, Maui. Rev. S. Kapu has been ordained and installed pastor at Hauula, Oahu. The Maui Association met at Wailuku, Nov. 6, and had a harmonious and profitable meeting. An effort was made to increase the contributions of the churches to the Hawaiian Hoard for the ensuing half year. L. P. Kanealii was licensed to preach. J. P. Inaina was ordained and installed pastor at Huelo, and A. S. Kaholokai al Honuaula, Nov. 19. Steps were taken to unite the churches of Kaupo and Kipahulu. J. Kaalouihi is acting pastor at Halawa, Molokai, with prospect of ordination and installation next April. G. W. Kolobabela has been preaching at Pelekunu, and will soon be ordained and installed. Rev. J. Hanaloa, pastor at the Leper Settlement, is quite feeble, and a younger man should be appointed at once. There are over 900 lepers now at the settlement, with two Catho lie priests and an assistant. Are our Evangelical Churches doing what they might for these poor unfortunates ? Rev. G. B. Kaonohimaka at Kekaha, North Kona, is very feeble from the weight of years. L. K. Kalawe, has been chosen acting pastor at Puula, Puna, and is doing vigorous work among that sparse population. A Hawaiian by the name of Kekipi is emulating the Christian Science Healing of some cranks around Boston, and has started around Kohala a new sect, devoted to faith cure, and called "Ka Hoomana Hoonaauao" (Science Worshippers). The new pastors at Waimea, Waipio, Paauhau and Laupahoehoe, are doing good work in their respective fields. The Young People's Christian Associations are being modified more and more after the fashion of the societies of Christian Endeavor. A subscription has been started to repair the old Mission Church, and the Agent of the A. B. C. E. M. has authorized Mr. Hofgaard to proceed with the work with what funds he has on hand. Rev. Isaac Goodell, who makes Koloa his headquarters is doing evident good on that side of the Island, organizing Sunday Schools, supplying singing books and Testaments, and awakening new religious activity generally. J. Niau is preaching at Lihue, and will probably receive a call. This is the church of which Rev. J. H. Hanaike was formerly the pastor. S. Oili, now acting pastor at Anahola, failed of ordination, because of some informality in the call given to him. There are but very few Hawaiians now residing at Kapaa, and that place should be made ■ part of the field of the Anahola church. Rev. J. W. Kaapu, pastor of the church at Hanalei. is incapacitated by a para lytic stroke. J. Kanoho is now preaching there. It is hoped a successful effort will soon be made to pay oil all the indebtedness of this church to its H. former pastors. nse ission. TheJapM A Japanese steamer brought 1085 more Japanese laborers, Nov. 13th, Interesting religious services were held at the Immigration Depot the Sunday after their arrival. In a little more than 1 week the whole company had been distributed among the different plantations that had made applications for them. The Japanese Government has, from the very first, endeavored to guard the interests and to secure the welfare of its people, taken from the teeming millions of the home land to find new homes and more remunerative labor in these islands. Seven-tenths of those who came first to the island! under a three years' contract, will be permanently added to our heterogeneous population. Christian people ought to be alive and diligently at work for the Christiani/ation of this additional heathen element, while these Japanese are likely to be most easily and favorably impressed. But Christian people at the islands are few in numbers, and few of them are in possession of great wealth. Their own religious necessities demand their first thought, and what money they have to spare. They are many of them interested on work for Hawaiians, and especially pledged to that. They are ready to assist personally and pecuniarily; but the work to be done by a few score of Christian people among thousands of Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese is overwhelmingly great. We cannot stem the current of superstition, worldliness, and infidelity. We cannot easily control, much less, direct it. Under these circumstances it has been with devout thanksgiving for this providential mercy, that we have welcomed the coming among us of other Christian workers from San Erancisco, specially competent to take up the work for the Japanese. The corps of laborers is too small for the five or six thousand Japanese, only Rev. Mr. Miyama and his wife, and Mr. Ukai, to whom is now added one more, Mr. Takeshita, who arrived by the last steamer. There ought to be certainly two at work on each ii other islands, that is, six additional laborers. Can our San Prancraoo friends do as much as that for the Islands? Japanese in the Hawaiian The work among the Japanese has taken a Strong hold. There is opposition to it as might be expected, from " fellows nf the baser sort.'' We cannot, however, be too thankful that the ,: representatives of the Japdipl anew !i ivcrnment are favorable to Christian y ork, and judiciously promote, as far ;h their official position allows of active participation', all schemes for the tnoral and religious uplifting of their people. The Japanese Temperance Society, of which Mr. Ando is President, now numbers over 1,100 members, and the Mutual Benefit Union, of which Mrs. Ando is President, has more than 3,000 members enrolled. A convention of delegates from the local societies was held last week in Honolulu. Some forty members were present. The sessions were opened with prayer. No smoking was allowed, nor any coarse talk. The convention closed ,with a collation at Queen Emma Half Monday noon. On the Sunday evening previous a subscription was started, and live hundred dollars pledged for a hospital for sick Japanese. The wonderful work of grace in connection with which every member of the Japanese Consulate was last June brought out into the privileges and activities of Christian life, has had its counterpart recently in a fresh outpouring of the converting influences of the Holy Spirit. All the employes of the Japanese store on King street were simultaneously brought to see the futility of opposition to the claims and promise of Christ Jesus, and avowed their trust in Him as their personal Saviour. The next day was observed as a season of special prayer, and in the evening, when the handful of Japanese Christians met for a special service of thanksgiving, three others came out on the Lord's side. Meetings were held every evening, and during the week thirteen in all made public profession of faith in Christ. Sunday morning, Nov. Ilth, a consecration service was held in the Lyceum, which through the kindness of Mr. J. T. Waterhouse, has been placed at the disposal of the Japanese for their religious meetings. Rev. Mr. Miyama administered the rite of baptism. Rev. S. E. Bishop and Rev. C. M. Hyde, took part in the communion service which followed. The participants knelt at a long bench in front of the table. It was an impressive sight to see so many of different nationalities, and different church connections, uniting in thus celebrating together the most sacred rite of our Christian faith, which testifies not only to Christ's foregoing grace, but to the loving sway with which He unites all believers in penitent humility before the cross, on which His self-sacrificing atonement was made for the sins of men.

Judson Smith, D. 1)., one of the Secretaries of the Board, on " Our Missionary Opportunity in China." Most vividly does the writer state the present needs of this vast mission field and pleads, with noble fervor, for men and means to carry forward the glorious work of the Evangelisation of this might}' Empire. It would be stimulating to us all in Hawaii nei to read and ponder this earnest appeal to the Christian church of our day. I wish it might be possible to reproduce in full all that this valuable article contains. As this is not possible, I would most earnestly ask all who are interested in the up building of the Redeemer's Kingdom to read for themselves Dr. Smith's paper, published in the November number of the Missionary Herald. At the risk of occupying considerable space in the col umns of the Fkiknd, I am tempted to give one important extract " China has been known to the western world for nearly three thousand years; never has she quite sunk below its horizon. She has been visited and something of her vastness exposed, but the effort at comprehension and permanent communion has been but fitful and has often died away. It is not a little significant to note how Providence is compelling" the great Christian powers of our day to face this problem; how active and persistent the Chinese question is becoming in America, in Australia, in the South Sea, in the policies of Great Britain and Russia. 'The Chinese be upon thee,' is the haunting dread of many a land, and the trouble will not cease until Christian love has had its rights, until this people have been won to an abiding-place in the Kingdom of Christ. It is a question beyond the composing of armies and ironclads, which neither treaties nor embassies, neither congress norparliament can solve. It is the debt of Christian love which we owe to the greatest empire and the most populous nation of modern times, a debt which nothing but the Gospel of our Lord, freely given and exemplified in thousands of lives, and held up to their view till its wonted miracle is wrought, can ever quite discharge. Let the Chinese, sought out with patience and won with Christian love, become a new creation in Christ Jesus; at once all jarring collisions, all violent antipathies, all divided interests, will cease, and the Christian church will be doubled in volume and power. Wordsare powerless to convey, the imag ination fails to comprehend, the meaning and grandeur of such a miracle; and yet this is the very task which God appoints to our times and by a thousand voices is bidding us to attempt boldly and at once. This is not the only great enterprise to which the age is sum- : another august undertaking lies immediately before this generation and cannot be neglected. But, this also, is upon us, in all its vast dimensions and unfathomed meaning. God does not permit us either to ignore or to evade it. And it becomes us to face our whole duty and measure the unspeakable privilege of our times by the unparalleled opportunities God has set before us. The sun has looked on nothing like it since Saint Paul and his companions were led forth of the Holy Ghost for the Evangelization of the Roman Empire, and we are the chosen of God for this august service." With singular and thrilling emphasis does this come home to us, dwelling in a land where the representatives of this great empire are numbered by thousands. It is not a question of politics, of national likes or dislikes, nor of ease or difficulty, but a clear, undisguised duty, as followers of the Lo.rd Jesus Christ, to the immortal souls about us. We should not allow other issues to blind us to this matter, which is one of supreme and imperative importance. It is a sign full of hope and promise that so many of our Christian people are feeling an earnest interest in the evangelization of the Chinese, and it is most earnestly to be hoped that this interest will gather force and power until all of this nationality dwelling among us, are brought under the beneficent influence of the Gospel. As was stated in a recent issue of the FriKND, new reinforcements and equipments are needed for adequately carrying forward this work. But a comparatively small section of this great field can now be reached with the force now here. To our land it is a question of most vital importance whether the Chinese are to be made acquainted with the uplifting principles of Christianity. It is a sneer, unworthy of notice that they are beyond the reach of the Gospel, and one which no true Christian can for a moment entertain. There are those of this nationality living in our midst, gathered out of the darkness of heathenism, whose daily lives are an attestation to the power and beauty of Christianity. No one can thus limit the blessed power of the Holy .Spirit. In view of the reflex influence of our work upon China, our efforts here take on a peculiar significance. Yearly hundreds of Chinese leave our shores for that land. The influences for good or evil which they have received here, are to aid or retard the spread of the Gospel in the portion of the Chinese Empire to which they go, which as we have seen is regarded as a subject of such vast importance. Let us then while the opportunity is offered be faithful to the work, which is given us to do. It was my intention to mention some of the points of interest in our work ried forward, but I find that I have already overrun my limits and must leave this to another time. I would like, however, in closing to simply call attention to a special effort which is now being made in Honolulu in behalf of Sabbath School work among the Chinese. Pour interesting schools are now in operation, at Makiki, the Chinese Church, the Chinese Mission Room in Hotel Street and at Palama. These are enlisting the services of a numbei of our earnest Christian ladies and gentlemen and young people, notably some of the pupils at Punahou College and Kamehameha School. It is to be hoped that this good work will go forward and influence a still larger number, and that many more of our Christian friends will join with us in this important mission ary undertaking. Earnest efforts are now being made to lift quite a heavy debt which has rested for some time upon our Chinese Y. M. C. A. Hall. Most generously have friends come forward to our aid, giving nobly to remove this burden from a most important branch of Oar mission work. One of them writes as follows: Christian work among the Chinese, I feel to be very important; a work that we should all he ready to assist in. If any others are desirous of following this good example, further donations for this same object will be most gratefullyr eceived. Fkank W. Damon. The Spirit of God lies all about the spirit of man like a mighty sea ready to rush in at the smallest chink in the walls that shut him out from his own. We learn from Rev. T. L. Gulick, that arrangements are making for the dedication of the new church edifice at Paia, E. Maui, on some day in January. Rev, Oliver P. Emerson has received the appointment of the Corresponding Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, in place of Rev. A. 0. Forbes, deceased. We hope for his arrival some time in January. In the wise Providence of God, our dear brother is not to have the satisfaction of again greeting the aged mother, who has just left us. Through the kindness of Mr. B. F. Dillingham, the teachers of Punahou Schools, of Kawaiahao Seminary, and of Kamehameha Schools, have one of those delightful trips to Pearl Lochs on the stern-wheeler Eva, Our better half, who is a poor sailoress, returned highly enthusiastic the other day from such a trip. And it was a delightful skim around those long reaches of water, with their smiling shores, and the beautiful long mountain ranges stretching away so far.

Know the truth, and be able to tell it forcibly, charitably. �THE FRIEND. 2 The Discovery of the Sandwich Islands. We give here that portion of the account of Assistant Surgeon Hllis, describing Cook's first visit to this group. As stated in our December issue, the existence of Dr. Ellis' account has hitherto been unknown to our historians. January 18, 1778, being in lat. 9V 13' N., and lon. '200 I'C X., we saw land to the eastward, and soon after descried more to the north-west, for which we shaped our course; but night coming on, we tacked and stood off till morning (Jan. l'Jth), when we proceeded to trace the coast in a south-westerly and westerly' direction. The land at lirst presented rather a barren appearance, but upon s closer view it improved upon us, particularly on the western side, which consisted of a large tract of fine level plains, and beyond them a double range of hills. which were covered with trees. Upon the shore we saw a few clusters of coconut {sic) trees, but by no means so abundant as at the Society Isles. As we drew nearer in-shore. some of the inhabitants put off in their canoes, and very readily came alongside. Their color was more of the copper cast than that of the natives of Taheitee, and they wore their hair long, and of different hues, like the people of the Friendly Isles. Their dress was nothing more than a narrow slip of cloth round their middle, and they were marked or tattowed in different parts of their body. Their cloth was stamped or printed in various patterns, not much unlike our printed linens; their language nearly resembled that of Taheitee. They were easily persuaded to come on hoard, and like all other Indians soon began to thieve, but nothing of any consequence was lost.' We saw no weapons among them, nor did they behave abruptly or disagreeably, but in their disposition seemed friendly and good-natured. We purchased a few pigs and sweet potatoes of them, for which we gave them a hatchet or two, and a few small nails, with which they appeared very well satisfied. In the evening we stood off, intending to examine the place more closely the next day. In the morning (Jan. 2<lth), at six. Captain Cook made the signal for the Discovery's six-oared cutter, which accompanied with the Resolution's pinnace and large cutter, was sent to look for a safe place for the ships to anchor, and to try what soundings-were to be found nearer in-shore. During their absence we stood off and on, being fearful of venturing too near. The natives came off as yesterday, and we bought a few hogs, tarrow, sweet potatoes, and sugar cane, of all which they appeared to Ttave plenty, and excellent of their kind. At three in the afternoon the boats returned, having found a tolerable birth, and at four both vessels came to. Soon after Captain Cook went on shore in the pinnace, at- tended by the Discovery's cutter, both the inhabitants came on board as before well-armed. He was received on shore Farly the next morning (Jan. 24), the very cordially by the natives, who treat- Discovery weighed and made sail; but ed him during his stay with great re- the wind proved so light, that she fell to spect and attention, and brought many leeward, and was obliged soon after to small hogs, potatoes, tarrow or eddoes, come to.

The boats were sent on shore to trade as usual, but they found the landing far more difficult than at the last place, on account of a very heavy surf, which, when the wind varies in the least to the westward, rolls in at so terrible a rate as totally to cut off all communication with the shore.

The next day (31st), we again tried to land with our boats, but were obliged to desist; and in the evening had fresh gales with rain.

There is one English missionary Upon each of the three principal islands. There is considerable trade, conducted chiefly by Englishmen. On Rarotonga are some forty white people. Unfortunately for commerce none of the islands possess harbors with sufficient water on the bar to admit any but small vessels. In the old whaling days. Rarotonga and Aitutaki (called Wy-tOJO tuck by seamen) were familiar names in the fleet, each numbering sixty to eighty visiting ships per annum. The Pacific contains a series of three letters addressed to the members ot the A. H. C. F. M. Mission in Japan, and the pastors and leaders of the Kumiar (Congregational) Churches. They are signed by Sidney L. Gulick and Orramel H. Gulick. They are in the nature of-a very serious questioning of the propriety of certain arrangements which have been for sometime in progress for uniting the Presbyterian and Congregational Churches in Japan into one ecclesiastical organization. Indeed these letters appear to amount to an earnest protest against the proposed union, as really a merging of the Congregational Churches into Presbyterian. We are not prepared to express an opinion upon the merits of the question, without more c,ireful study than we have been able to give to it. The author of the letters is evidently Key. Sidney L. Gulick, son of 'Rev. Dr. L. Halsey Gulick, and born in Ppnape. He is valedictorian of Dart mouth, and graduate of Xew .York The above Theological Seminary. has been hailed named union movement as a great Step towards Christian Union. although serious misgivings have been expressed about it. The Messrs. Gulick have apparently taken a very serious step in opposing it. As we look back at the historic career of Christ, we see that Life was in Him. not as it was in other men. not as wateris in a pitcher, but as water in a spring; not as light is in a candle, but as light is in the sun—flowing forth, exuberant, under!ved, original. Life ensphered Him like an atmosphere, and went forth from Him as a "virtue." He poured forth life, not by freaks and spasms of.goodness, but with uniformity, persistence, efficacy, always and everywhere, as gravity works in nature, as light billows forth from the sun. There is something better than a revival, and that is a Christian life that doesn't need to be revived.— Moody. �4 THE FRIEND. The Real Extent of the Task of Foreign Xovember Missions. When enlightened and trained Churchof a great Christian nation like England or America undertake, in love ot Christ and of humanity, to impart then Christianity to an uncivilized pagan nation like Madagascar, or a civilized one like Japan, they are not unlikely to un derrate the magnitude and extent of their task. Hence they may suppose the Conquest of such nations foj Christ to be nearly completed, when in fact it has only been successfully begun good foundations prosperously laid. In the inception of Foreign Missions a centun ago. it was probably not so important ,to see how protracted and extensive were the labors required as it is now. A clear perception of their magnitude might have daunted the courage of the Churches. As the work goes on. and experience accumulates, an education is being gained in the wink of Foreign Missions by means of the varying experiences of failure and success. Especially does it become clear, that to secure permanent results of evangelization must require patient and protracted labors continued far beyond the period of gospel proclamation and the establishment of Christian churches. This process may be a rapid and successful one. A "nation may be born in a day." as was the case in the evangelization of Hawaii, and as very gloriously promises to be the case in Japan. It is. however, needful to observe that a new-born child requires tending and nourishing. Its birth does not ensure its subsequent survival, much less its healthy and vigorous survival. To secure a wide acceptance of the salvation of the Lord Jesus among the people of a heathen country, and to save man}- souls of the present generation is indeed a blessed and grand result. But if the churches so planted fail to become self-propagating, through weakness, ignorance, and the overwhelming corruption of internal heathenism and foreign vice; if in following generations the immature Christianity decays and relapses intocorruption and semi-pagan ism, the result is certainly far from being the success that was supposed to exist. It has the characteristics of an ill-conducted work. It reflects discredit on those who did not hold out to care for and bring to maturity what they so well began. An article in the N. Y. Evangelist of es 8, by Secretary Ellinwood of tianity. This tendency is sufficiently the Presbyterian Board, begins by ask- manifest in the Hawaiian churches, noting.

Ki-.v. A. O. Forums. Dear Sir: We hail a fine passage of nineteen and a half days from Honolulu to Kusaie. At Kusaie we found all in usual health. Mr. Walkup is evidently. dissappoiated that no one came to his relief. They will come home with us. however. At Ponape all is quiet. The Govern or continues his kindness to the missionaries; at the same time it is hard to get him to hack up their efforts to keep the people in line morally. Mr. Ooane took a trip with me to Ruk and back. He is well. Mr. Rand's health is very poor. I think he will come up this trip to go home, and Miss Fletcher, too. It is my opinion that Miss Palmer should follow suit. That will leave only Dr. Ingersoll and Mr. Ooane to hold the fort at Ponape. At Ruk,'where we arrived August 14, we found Mr. Treiber down with a fever similar to Mr. Logan's. We could only talk with him a little while at a time. Mrs. Treiber and the baby boy are well. He is now convalescent, and will no doubt soon be out again. Mr. Worth is well, but no doubt a trip to a colder climate would give him new life. They were glad of the boat, but somewhat disappointed not to see the schooner which they confidently expected. We left Mr. Snelling in the Logan house, in the midst- of furniture, boxes and bundles. I prophesy a lonesome time for him this year. I hope to be able to write again from Jaluit. August 2;i. —We leave here to-day lor Kusaie and the eastern islands. Yours truly, Gko. F. Garland.

We have as many boarding pupils in Training school as we can take care of—forty. Seven of the forty are in the preparatory department. There are twelve couples and sixteen boys and single men. There are two classes of preachers. Ten ane in the first class, six Ponapeans, two from Pingelap, and two from Mortlock and Ruk. The last four will go west at the end of the year. The rest will be located on Ponape, some of them to return to school after teaching and preaching a year or more. One from Pingelap will spend about half the coming year teaching the rest in school. All but three in this class have preached some. FourofthemgoouteverySabbath; others occasionally. Two of the four • 7 THE FRIEND. are preaching at places where the church has been established for years. The other two laid their own foundations, going to places where there had never beet) an}' preaching or school, and no Christians at either place. At the first place, Mant Perti the work was begun three years ago. The Lord has blessed the work here. This is only a small village, but they have built a good church and teacher's house. Twelve were baptized in June. They have had three terms of school, eight weeks each. One couple from there a.re in the training school. At Mant PerUk, a larger village close by, there has been a grand work accomplished by one of the pupils. Mr. Logan, Mr. Donne and myself have tried time and again to put a teacher there, hut were prevented by the head man of the 'place, who is third in rank in his tribe. For years many of the young men have been urging him to lei them have a teacher; hut he persistently refused iintil he found out that his people were have waked up. One of them has been to Uana the residence of the Kiti King to look out a location, expecting to build a house and commence work in that tribe sqon. Mr. Doane seems apprehensive of a general effort to station priests throughout the Caroline group, also that the German Government will break up the Marshall Is. work. I incline- to more hopeful views. I admit that the priests may be able to draw some of our church members into their fold for a time, but such as will he small loss to the church. You will hear from others of Mrs. Walkup's decease. He will take the children home. You may see me on the Star this year. Fraternally yours, F. B. Kand. I'onlon. Ponape, Sept. 2.0, IHNB. the teaching at Mant Perti. Fearing they would soon get beyond his control, he yielded, and permitted them to have a teacher. William went there in April, preaching in an old feast house. After preaching there three or four Sabbaths, the old chief ordered that no more work be done on the Sabbath. The next week some of them came over saying they had the timbers ready for a church, and wanted me to go and select the location for it. In less than two weeks after the site was selected, they were worshipping in a neat, substantial church about eighteen by twenty-five. They have also built a long stone pier or wharf, also a house for their teacher, stone roads, etc. On July sth, one of the pupils from the Training School began school there and taught eight weeks. The agreement was that they were to board him and his wife and give them a dollar a week. At theend of the seventh week they had given him nine dollars in cash and cocoanuts. This is the first school that has come up to what we. required of them in regard to self support without a great deal of urging. A few weeks ago some of them came to me to find out how much a bell for their church would cost. I told them that thirty dollars would get one as large as they would need. Last Saturday they brought the first instalment of eleven dollars. The fourth week of school they concluded that their church was too small and made it twelve feet longer. Thus far this year seven'or eight of the pupils have taright in the station schools eighty-five or a hundred weeks, teaching two months and attending school two months. Since the settlement of the difficulty between the natives and Spanish all has been quiet. The priest have seemed to confine their teaching to the inside of the stockade, till this week they seem to almost every communion some join the church. We thank the Lord for these favors. The Spanish are quiet so far as we are concerned —we teach, preach, move about "at our own sweet wills." But recently the priests, who have been sort of incubating for a whole year, now bestir themselves—are starting out to occupy some places, our places we may say, for all the main points of the island are occupied by us. * * * This will of course divide our people. The priests here are free wine bibbers, and- smoke. Ah, say some of our ava drinkers, that is.the religion for me. As the Star goes up this year, Miss Fletcher feels quite sure now of going. She should by all means. Mr. Rand also expected to go. The Star will take up the news of the death of Sister Walkup, at Kusaie, in July, I think.

Hoys were happily entertained last mouth by Mr. F. W. Damon, who gave them a very instructive talk on Palestine. The use of numerous diagrams and maps added greatly to the interest and practical value of the talk. Mr. Damon spoke with the enthusiasm and clearness of an eye witness, and showed Several souvenirs which he gathered during his visit in that memorable land. The countries under consideration next Thursday afternoon, will he Norway and Sweden. Mr. C. M Cooke will give the hoys the result of his personal observations made a few months since. The temperance meetings for men have been continued in Brewer's lilock, but the attend.vice at the last two was not very inspiring. Certainly the cause of temperance has not so far triumphed in this city that its friends-can afford to retire from the field. We need scores of men who, like Paul of old, are able and read}- to "reason of temperance" as well as "righteousness," and who will remind the drunkard and the drunkardmaker that there is a "judgment to come. Mr. P. C. Jones Jias organized two new classes in Book-keeping. They meet at 6:30 and 7:la every Monday evening. We are pleased to see that the Sunday evening gospel meeting has been more largely attended during the last mouth. There are many more young men who ought to find it a glad privilege to be present and honor their Say lour by some willing service. The Committee who have the Blue Ribbon Entertainments in charge eon tinue to meet with a willing response from the kind friends who have so frequently assisted on the programme. We hope to continue these gatherings as a public protest against intoxicating drink and as an educating medium in favor of total abstinence. Next Thursday evening will close- Mr. Bissell's first course of lessons to the Y. M.C. A. Singing Class. Mr. 'Pissell has made the present class a decided success; and at the request of several young men a new class will he started Thursday evening, January 16th, Notes From Abroad. Over three hundred members joined the San Francisco Association during November. Sixty-five joined in a single day, chielly for the benefit of the secular department. The San Francisco Association followed the practice of former years and provided a Thanksgiving Dinner for the young men among their membership who were away from home. One hundred and Seventy-five accepted the hospitality of the Association. In this number fourteen nationalities and eighteen Stales were represented.

He was un in half a minute,and I saw he had no over-coat, no mittens, a cap without a visor, and tattered clothes; hut I soon found he had a noble heart beating beneath his ragged jacket.

John 15:1ft, — �THE FRIEND Our New Year's Day is signalized by total eclipse of the sun, best visible a little north of San Francisco. Many observing parties were to gather in that vicinity. The progress of photography, especially in instantaneous work, immensely facilitates improved observations. A leading object of study is the sun's Corona, the problem of whose nature is yet unsolved. A probable hypothesis is that it is composed of the blended tails of innumerable cometic or meteoric bodies in close attend.ok c upon the sun. A successful method "f photo graphing tin. Corona at all tunes which was invented by Dr. Huggins, was speedily foiled by the .introduction ot Krakatoa dust into the atmosphere producing the powerful atmospheric corona known as Bishop's Ring. It is doubtful whether this has yd entirely disappeared. Dr. Huggins' method does not appear to to.have been resumed, and the study of the solar corona still depends on the rare occurrence of total eclipses. Another and very important matter of observation •in all Solar eclipses are the moments ol contact, which furnish very precise data for the correction of tables of lunar a motion. Great Volcanic Activity at Kilauea. A powerful outpour of lava over the main floor of the Caldera, took place during the middle of December,continuing for several days. Hon. H. M.Whit ney was fortunately on the ground at the time, and has furnished the Gazettt .mil Ail, tilis, > an extended account °i the flow. Mr. Whitney is both enter prising and fortunate in usually hitting our volcanoes when doing their fines! work. Readers of the Friend m ly i in mber our account'of the state of the lava last yeai when visited h\ Professor Dm i. The most prominent point ol activity at that time was Dana Lake, a ;. uid of liquid lava situated in the west side of the area of Haleani.iumau, between the debris cone and the wall of the pit, then one hundred and lilt}- feet deep. During the sixteen months since then the sunken area of 11 .ileumairman half S mile in diameter has been gradu ally Idling up, partly no doubt by uplifting from oelow, ;ts during the previous year, but very largely by the overflow of lava from the many openings around the cell tral cone of debris. Dana Lake has been a chief contributor to filling up Hale amaumau. All the western part of the pit is now built up even with the main floor of Kilauea. and Dana Lake itself is above that level, having a raised edge sloping outwards, crater fashion. This little crater has now overflowed, pouring forth a great stream upwards of a mile Most of this stream was aa or clinker lava, very rare in Kilauea. The srght was of course a very grand one. Kilauea may be considered now tOhave leg.lined its full average standard of vigorous display and copious outpour. This was materially diminished for two years sub tequent to the collapse ol 1886. The present activity will probably continue for several years before another outbreak occurs below, drawing off the upper lires. The hotel at the volcano is well kept and affords great comfort to touiists. it is itself an attractive place, aside Irom the absorbing interest of the gigantic lire fountains. The latest word reports Haleamaumau entirely full and overflowing in all directions. The former great "New Lake" is filled and obliterated, The wholi is in a state of activity seldom exceeded. Selections. to the northward. John Sunday, the converted Indian chief of Upper Canada, addressing a missionary meeting, in his appeal to the benevolence of the people previous to the collection, said: "There is a gentleman. I suppose, now in this house; he is a very line gentleman, but he is very modest.' He does not like to show himself. I do not know how long it is since I saw him, he comes out so little. I am very much afraid he sleeps a great deal of his time, when he ought to be going about doing good. His name is Mr. Ciold. Mr. (iold, are you here to-night? 01 are you sleeping in your iron chest? Come out, Mr. Gold, come out, and help us to do this great work, to send the Gospel to every creature. Ah, Mr. Ciold, you ought to he ashamed of yourself, to sleep so much in your iron chest! Look at your white brother. Mr. Silver; he does a great deal ol g rod m the world, while you are steeping. Come out Mr. (iold! Look, too. at your brown brother, Mr. Copper; he is everywhere! Sec, him running about doing all the good lie can. Wiiy don't you come out. Mr. Gold? Well, if you won't come out and give up yourself, send us your shirt (that is, a hank note), and we will excuse you this time." I met only the other day a man whom I once knew as a common drunkard. The face then was brutal in the extreme. Hut to-day it is a tender lace. The eyes look fearlessly and kindly on the world. I'iic voice is softened, and there are lines of sweetness all through the face. He has lived in the closest communion Willi the Lord that redeemed him. and he is actually transfigured. The soul that one smouldered there was a beastly soul. The life that is manifest now has been kindled by the Spirit of God. It is the Christ life; and every man can see it. 1., lamp/nan. Right in the middle of the path of duty no power of earth or hell can really harm you ; but beware how you take to the bushes along that path! When growth ceases, decay begins. He is worth no weal that can bide no woe. Braun without brain never won a victory. Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle. As well to create good precedents, as to follow them. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Turn from the irreparable past to the available future. Religion is not a dogma, nor an emotion, but a service. The hiding places of man are dis- covered by affliction, Satan We always rocks the Cradle when sleep at our devotions. The sublimity of the mountain is not in the mountain, but in us. A note pitched too high is equally silent with one pitched too low. Behavior is continually revealing us; what a man does tells what he is. The best place to prepare for the duties of life is that of Mary—at Jesus' feet. Any fool can ask questions; but it takes a wise man not to try to answer them. God creates, governs, judges, punishes, pities, redeems, and saves; but love is the root of all. Life is not victory, but battle. Kvery battle declined, as well as every battle drawn, is a battle lost. God is a shower to the heart burned up with anguish. God is a sun to the face deluged with tears. No man has a prosperity so lfigh or so linn hut that two or three words can dishearten it. Emerson, Ten thousand great faults in my neighbors are ol less consequence to me than one small fault in myself. He that leans upon bis comforts will find them a re. il; he that leans upon (iod will find Him to be a Rock. (iod loves righteousness and hates sin; the devil loves sin ,m.\ hates righteousness. That is the difference. The devil is well satisfied with a Christian who will do things in New York that he would not do at home. A child of God should be a visible beatitude for joy and happiness, and a living doxology for gratitude and adoration. Think of the day, the humbling, affecting, overwhelming day, when the cup of cold water will reappear as an ingredient in the everlasting glory. The man who would shudder at the idea of a rough word of the description commonly called swearing will not even have a twinge of conscience after a whole morning of ill-tempered sullenness, capricious scolding, villainously unfair animadversion, or surly, crossgrained treatment generally of wife and children. �THE FRIEND.

The Caucasian also comes with By Rev. S. E. Bishop. 1888.1 Darwin an which has been much ''Mr. supplied expression in vogue, "The survival of the fittest." This is scarcely applicable in the present case, since in Hawaii nei there is no competitive "struggle for existence" between weaker and stronger races of men. The Hawaiian Islands have been far more than sufficiently productive for the ample supply of the needs of all the people living here since the beginning of this century. So far all the different races have lived in plenty, and in amity with each other. A crowded condition might be conceived as possible in the future, when the thrifty and capable classes would push the inefficient and improvident classes into penury. In such case, one would think the Chinese to be the best fitted for the "struggle for existence," and the Polynesian the least fitted. The former inherits an education of hundreds of generations in living on the minimum of necessaries, also an unequaled patience of industry and tactful thriftiness for procuring those necessaries. The latter, thriftless and indolent in comparison, would be crowded out of the land. No such conditions exist. There is no struggle to find subsistence. One race is as fit to survive as another, so far as obtaining a living is concerned, in a country where the wages of one day's unskilled labor will purchase all indispensable food and raiment for a whole week. Neither is the climate of Hawaii less favorable to the health of one race than to that of another. It is comparatively a perfect climate, absolutely devoid of extremes of temperature, free from humidity, swept by the ever purging ocean airs, and seemingly incapable of long harboring malarial or zymotic diseases. Possibly an Esquimaux might not thrive here. For all other races, it is an Eden in salubrity. Yet it is the strange fact—in view of the amiable and attractive qualities of Polynesians, the distressingly sad fact that simultaneously with the arrival of white men in these islands, the Hawaiian people began rapidly to melt away, and that this waste has continued up to the present with substantial steadiness. At the date of the discovery, Captain Cook estimated the population at 400,000. Later historians have leaned to the more moderate estimate of 250,-000. My father who was one of the first party of white men to travel around Hawaii in 1824, then observed such evidences of recent extensive depopulation in all parts of that island, that he very decidedly supported the estimate of Cook. There are now less than 40,000 pure Hawaiians surviving. The later counts have been taken with reasonable accuracy. One is led to suspect that the earlier ones omitted considerable numbers, when one observes the comparative sparseness of native population in every district, as compared with the relatively dense population fifty years ago, when only 12.r),000 were counted, or little more than three times the present number. With the exception of the towns of Honolulu, Hilo, and Wailuku, every large and populous town in the islands has dwindled to a hamlet since my boyhood, and the then frequent and considerable hamlets scattered everywhere, have almost all disappeared. The recollections of fifty years since are of throngs and swarms of natives everywhere. Yet even then all the talk was of how the islands had become depopulated; even then, in travelling, the deserted sites of villages and hamlets with abandoned plantations were constantly pointed out. Have we now one in six of the ancient numbers of natives, or have we only one in ten? It is immaterial; the fact remains of an enormous depopulation. And yet, in the totalabsence ofany struggle for existence, all the more or less civilized races migrating here, appear to thrive and multiply abundantly, and the children surpass their parents in health and in stature. At first sight, these foreigners do not average as equal to. the Hawaiian. The [Read to Honolulu Social Science Association, Noveinliei, — his family and multiplies amain. The query then is, under what peculiar disabilities does the Hawaiian labor, as to vitality and power of propagation, from which the foreign races living here, are exempt? This inquiry is farther complicated by the fact that these disabilities, whatever they are, seem to have first sprung into efficiency upon contact with the white race. The coming of that race appears to have introduced new deleterious influence, and created new conditions, under which the Polynesian, somewhere weak, succumbs. We are to seek to clearly define what these unfavorable conditions are, and wherein the weakness of the native race to withstand these adverse influences, consists./ I here limit our inquiry to the Hawaiians, because with this people only do we possess any intimate acquaintance. A similar state of things prevails more or less throughout Polynesia, and ultimate extinction appears to threaten the native population of most of the groups of Polynesia. We are to endeavor to define the precise causes of depopulation. We should strive to indicate exactly what adverse influences have been steadily at work for five generations to kill off the Hawaiian people. There has been a great deal of vague generalization—of indefinite talk about a weak race succumbing to the stronger. We want to quit vagueness and generalities, and find the answer to the question, "In what respects, particularly and precisely, are the Hawaiian people weaker than their white, or their Mongoloid guests?" This will prepare us for the further inquiry, by what means can this weak race be so invigorated that it will again multiply? Our first effort—perchance unskilled and misdirected, is to diagnose the deadly malady which is slaying the people. •'As the leading and most efficient element of weakness in the Hawaiian race, tending to physical decay, we predicate: 1. Unchastity. This has always been general among females as well as males. The Hawaiian female was, like males of other races, aggressive in solicitation. It was matter of good form that all proposals should be expressed by the female. It is still so, except to the extent that foreign ideas have permeated society. The records of Cook's discovery of the group indicate that state of things as originally existing. The account written by Dr. Ellis, Cook's chief surgeon, states how at Kauai where they first touched, Captain Cook was determined, on account of serious disease among his men, to permit no intercourse with the women so as not to introduce disease among the Hawaiians. It was, however, impracticable to prevent the women from swarming over the ships. The native account received from participants by the early missionaries, states that it was arranged in public council that the women should take this course, as the easiest way of obtaining iron and other prized articles from the ships. Proceeding from Niihau to Alaska, and returning nine months later, Cook's ships made the coast of Hamakua, Hawaii. He again sought to keep the women from his crew, but discovered that they were already infected with the malady. So promiscuous were the habits of the people, that from the first center of infection at Waimea, the malady had in nine months, spread like a fire to the other extremity of the group. This again, is corroborated by the information obtained by the early missionaries as to the spread of the disease. Dr. Ellis describes in words undesirable to here reproduce the grossly aggressive and impetuous action of the females. It was the universal practice of ordinary hospitality to visitors, to supply them during their sojourn, with the women of the family. Such a matter-of-course tender was a frequent cause of annoyance to the early missionaries in their tours in remoter districts, enjoying the cordial hospitality of the most well to-do people in their neat thatched cottages. lam not prepared t say how far this heathen �Volume 47, No. 3.] 19 THE FRIEND. custom has now lapsed into disuse. It is certainly one of the old customs sought to be maintained and revived to- gether with the hulas and idolatrous practices. One of the painful experiences of missionaries in the out-districts, was to hear of this practice being carried out in the chief households of his parish when some great man came along with his suite. I speak from repeated personal experience as a missionary pastor. It may be said in general that chastity had absolutely no recognition. It was simply a thing unknown and unthought of as a virtue in the old domestic life of Hawaii. * A woman who withheld herself was counted sour and ungracious. This did not exclude more or less of marital proprietorship, involving an invasion of the husband's right in enjoying his property without his consent. There was no impurity in it, any more than among brute animals. There was, however, a salutary limitation of some importance in a frequent stringent guarding of early virginity. Young maidens were quite commonly put under tabu for first use by the chief, after possession by whom all restriction ceased. No sense of a sacredness in chastity seems to have been involved in this, nor any sense of profanation in the contrary. It was only the thought of a special choiceness in an article that was fresh and unused. In the tremendous disturbances of life ensuing upon the advent of the white man, even this solitary restriction perished. No severe moral reprobation is due to the primitive Hawaiian for what seems to have been an ignorant innocence of easy, promiscuous living, like the free life of animals, without sense of evil. None the less must we deem this social condition more than any other to have incapacitated the Hawaiians from holding their own after the advent of the white man. During the simplicity of aboriginal life, and in the total absence of sexual diseases, the evils resulting from promiscuous intercourse would be minimized. Procreative force remained largely in excess of mortality, so that the teeming population was kept down by infanticide. But to the malady which the white man imported, the unguarded social condition was as tow to the flame. The scorching and withering disease ran like wildfire through the nation. Multitudes died at once, while the survivors remained with poisoned bodies and enfeebled constitutions. A general impairment of constitutional vigor in the people by venereal disease caused them to fall early victims to other maladies, both native and foreign. All diseases ran riot in their shattered constitutions. They became especially incapacitated to resist pulmonary maladies. The greatly increased prevalence of colds and consumption is doubtless due to this syphilitic diathesis, rather than to change of habits as to clothing, although the latter may have had some unfavorable effect. Probably the pestilence called Okuu, whatever its nature, which carried off such a bulk of the population in 1804, owed most of its virulence to the impaired physique of the people. Another destructive effect of the syphilitic taint is believed to have been an inflaming of sexual passion. It may have acted as a ferment thrown into the former more quiet pool of promiscuous social living. There can be no doubt that the advent of foreigners in large numbers was attended by an immense increase of debased and bestial living. Ten thousand reckless seamen of the whaling fleet annually frequented these islands and used it as their great brothel. This enormously aggravated and inflamed the. normal unchastity of the people. In the presence'of the white hordes life became hideously brutalized. To multitudes of young women, gathered into the seaports for profit, from half the households in the country, life became a continuous orgie of beastly excess. All the former slender limitations and restrictions upon an indiscriminate commerce fell to pieces. The stormy and reckless passion of the white man, exulting in his unwonted license, imparted itself to the warm but sluggish Hawaiian nature. Life became a wasteful riot of impurity, propagated from the seaports to the end of the land. There was thus no defense against the new and try- ing conditions of life through any existing sentiment of the sacredness of chastity. The inevitable consequence was depopulation. The population of brothels and slums has no internal power of multiplying^ In the Report on the subject of Purity adopted by the 144 Bishops convened in the late Pan-Anglican Conference at Lambeth Palace, are the following words; "W« solemnly record our conviction that wherever marriage is dishonored, and sins of the flesh are lightly regarded, the home life will be destroyed, and the nation itself will sooner or later, decay and perish." The source of this language will lend it great weight. The Hawaiian nation is a sad witness to their truth. 'One of the most destructive consequent'*n of the new physical taint was the enfeeblement of int. ncy, rendering it difficult for the diseased babes to survive Hie ignorant and careless dealing of their nurses. The largest increase in the mortality of the Hawaiians was undoubtedly among their infants. The external influences adverse to infant survival among Hawaiians are very great. Chief among these are the practice of feeding with unsuitable nutriment in early infancy, the prevalence of unchecked cutaneous maladies, general lack of watchful care, and evil doses administered by ignorant or superstitious friends. Healthy and vigorous infants, as of the old times, would in good numbers, survive all these hostile conditions. Those born into the taint of syphilis, with its inward and outward corrosions, had little prospect of surviving other maltreatments, unless some missionary or other beneficent foreigner came to their aid with his simple regimen and alleviations. Under this general head of Unchastity, as the chief cause of the depletion of the race, a considerable share must be attributed to the extensive loss of procreative power in the males. This loss was probably due in part to syphilitic taint, but is mainly owing to early sexual excess during puberty. In the aboriginal condition, there would seem to have been less tendency to very early indulgence among the males. The nervous irritations of the syphilitic taint, and the exciting excesses pervading native society, may have been causes extending debauching influences even to the children. It is certain' that in many districts, deplorable excesses have been found to exist among the school children. It seems to be true that a majority of young Hawaiian men never have children. Those placed early under the discipline of foreigners, in boarding schools or otherwise show exceptions to the common rule. The incapacity seems to be mainly on the part of the males. Young women united to Chinamen or white men are usually quite as fruitful as women of other races. Per contra, it is to be noted that such men are apt to select the best conditioned females, also that they are accustomed to restrain and to protect their wives, as Hawaiians do not, and so keep them in healthier condition. The common record of Hawaiian families is, few ornochildren born, or perhaps several born, most or all of whom die in infancy. It is exceedinglyraretofind alargefamily surviving to adultage. Nearly all such that I have known were families underthe immediateand veryparental control of some missionary, with whom the parents had lived from early youth, learning habits of industry, self-control, and civilized domestic living. They were themselves kept in vigor and health, their children were well cared for, and well doctored in sickness. Natives so situated very frequently not only raised large families, but by means of their superior industry, skill and thrift, acquired considerable substance. Being thereby placed in a high social rank among their countrymen, it has too commonly resulted, that most of their children became dissolute, like the children of the wealthy elsewhere, and the family failed to be continued. Among other disastrous effects of the universal syphilitic taint was the frequency of miscarriages. It has been the testimony of missionaries and physicians, that a very considerable proportion of native births have been prevented by that cause. In my inquiries in native households, this has ' �20 THE FRIEND been assigned as frequently as any other, as the cause of the absence of children. To make such inquiries is indeed melancholy. One becomes glad to hear that even one or two children are surviving in a household. Abortion is often attributed to active horseback exercise during pregnancy. As native females used to be continually galloping about, no doubt this has contributed to the evil since 1850, when the common people began generally to possess horses. With the development of good roads, wheels are now coming into very common use by all classes. 2. Drunkenness. This should be assigned to no inconsiderable place among disabling conditions. Before the haole arrived, the favorite narcotic was awa (piper methysticum) more commonly known throughout Oceanica as kava. A beer of some strength was made by fermenting sweet potato. The sirupy Ki-root (Draccena Ti) was also macerated and fermented, becoming still more alcoholic than the potato. This was less acceptable, tending to produce irascibility, while the sour potato swill only inflamed sexuality. No great orgugs of drunkenness resulted from the use of any of the foregoing. The vice existed only in mild forms. Awa in excess tended to waste and paralyze the system. With the foreigner came the products of the still. Only then did drunkenness begin to reign. Drunken orgies were an essential part of the beach-comber's paradise on Hawaiian shores. He found the Hawaiian an apt disciple, save that like all savages, he did not know how to stop. The story of the early missionaries is one of constant impediment in their labors from the inebriety of the King and Chiefs, and of frequent annoyance and disturbance from the riotous orgies of the common people. While Kamehameha lived, he put considerable check upon both his people and himself as to temperance. His youthful successor, Liholiho, plunged, with his people, into a carnival of excess. The contribution of drunkenness to depopulation was mainly indirect, although powerful. It tended to overturn and destroy whatever remains of wholesome social order and domestic life survived the general wreck consequent upon foreign intercourse. It stimulated the passions; it solved the remaining bonds of self-restraint; it flung prudence to the winds; thus it enhanced the effectiveness of the causes previously described. Intemperance is always a chief ally of impurity. The gin-mill and the brothel are close partners. 3. Oppression by the Chiefs. There was a considerable mortality during the first quarter of this century, when the Sandal wood trade was active, caused by the heavy exactions of the King and Chiefs upon the common people to procure this precious commodity, wherewith to liquidate their immense debts to the traders, incurred for yachts and costly luxuries. Great numbers of men were driven into the mountains upon this errand, passing many nights in cold and rain with slight protection and little food. The result was great waste of life, and the almost entire extirpation of the precious tree. Other severe exactions of labor were common. Great levies of labor and supplies were frequently made at a chiefs caprice from the tenants of remote estates, to be brought to the island capital. This was an evil much increased by the temptations of foreign trade. No doubt it materially contributed to the decimation of the people. Oppression by Chiefs has ceased to be an operative cause for nearly half a century, or since Constitutional government began to exist. 4. Infectious and Epidemic Diseases. These have largely added to" the destruction of the population. There seems to be good reason for accepting the theory that new diseases attack with more severity and greater fatality races who are unaccustomed to them or to their like. No doubt any race becomes in time somewhat hardened to the diseases which infest it, the weaker and more susceptible individuals being weeded out, and the hardier ones transmitting their resisting power to descendants. Measles first appeared here in 1849. Great numbers died [March, 1889. in all parts of the group. The excess of mortality was attributed to the patients' bathing in order to alleviate the external heat and irritation of the malady. Small-pox first arrived in 1853. Before vaccination could be efficiently administered to the natives, the- infection had spread over the Island of Oahu, and one-half, or 15,000 of the people on that island perished in a few weeks. After their manner, they rushed to visit their friends when attacked by the disease. Isolation and precaution against infection is foreign to their natures. By the energy of the then "missionary" government quarantine measures were vigorously enforced on the other islands, and the people thoroughly vaccinated, so that only a few hundred deaths occurred. Foreigners were all promptly vaccinated, and nearly all escaped. Malarial and other epidemics have been repeatedly introduced, and from time to time have produced extensive mortality among, the natives. The admirable climate, with its sea-air and the ozone of the mountain land-breezes, seemed in each case rapidly to mitigate the virulence with which earlier cases of the new malady would be characterized, later cases assuming milder forms, until the disease seemed to slowly die out. This was very marked in the instance of what was known as the " 800-hoo" fever, which attacked all newly arrived foreigners. It was quite severe at its first appearance in 1851, but by 1857 had become a very trifling malady. Leprosy has been something of a scourge. Probably 4,000 lepers have died in these islands during the past thirty years. The number at present suffering from the disease cannot be more than 1,500, or four per cent, of the native population. For more than a year, or since the end of 1887, there has been a radical improvement in the work of segregating the lepers. There seems reason to believe that soon, nearly every leper will have been removed to the excellent asylum at Molokai. The lepers are nearly all natives. The disease very rarely appears among the white or the Mongoloid races living here, owing to their carefully avoiding intercourse with lepers. Hawaiians, on the contrary, mingle freely with lepers, in the most intimate daily intercourse. They commonly regard the segregation of their leprous relatives'as a cruel and uncalled for severity. This is only one illustration of the habitual indifference of this people to sanitation, whether in physics or in morals. Indeed the idea of disease being a product of natural agencies, and a thing to be averted by physical preventives, seems to be one quite foreign to the Hawaiian's mind, and contrary to his mode of thought. In common with other uncivilized races the world over, they were accustomed to attribute all diseases to the immediate agency of some personal demon, who enters the patient and malignantly distresses and destroys him. This brings us to another, and one of the most destructive of the agencies contributing to the diminution of the Hawaiian people. 5. Kahunas and Sorcery. The kahuna is the medicine man. He is properly a sorcerer or wizard, whose chief reliance for the relief of disease is the employment of supernatural agencies, although he will also perhaps use drugs and hygienic treatment. From ancient times these men and their arts have been powerful agencies of death, although not seldom effecting a species of faith cure." When a Hawaiian is ill, his superstitious relatives and friends immediately seek to persuade him that his sickness is owing to the malign presence of some demon, who must either be propitiated or expelled by force. Some kahuna is called in to accomplish this object. He is believed to enjoy special power with some patron demon, who may be the one needing to be propitiated, or whose agency may be called in to expel and overcome the perhaps less powerful agent of the disease. H one kahuna proves insufficient to the task, others must be found who possess the special influence needed. The processes employed are always expensive to the patient, and very commonly quite severe. (To be Continued.) " �Volume 47, No. 3.] Why Mauna Loa Must be La Mesa. Students oi Hawaiian history are aware that both Spanish and native evidence point to a discovery of the Hawaiian group by Spanish navigators in the sixteenth century. The native evidence is to the effect that white people landed from a wrecked ship at a place called Kulou in Kona, Hawaii, in the time of Kealuokaloa, who must have lived early in the sixteenth century. The particulars of the native tradition are found in Fornander's History,,Vol. 11, p.p. 106-110. The Spanish charts of the sixteenth!'century locate a group of islands in approximately the position of the Hawaiian group. The largest of these named La Mesa. A copy of such a Spanish chart may be seen in a folio edition of La Perouse's Voyage, in the public library. La Mesa, or the Tabic, is the conventional Spanish term for a level and elevated district, very commonly bounded by precipices. It has generally been thought to have been applied by the Spanish navigators to Mauna Loa as being a very broad and flat mountain. But the question arises, is the name La Mesa or high table land, one so corresponding to the aspect presented by Hawaii to navigators passing by it, that they would naturally apply it to that island? It certainly must be said that the appearance of Hawaii, as seen from the directions of north, northwest, and east, with which' residents here are most familiar, by no means is that of a tableland. It exhibits a series of very lofty mountains, the most distant one of which, is also of great lateral extension, and uniformity of surface. It is, however, a long low dome, rather than a table mountain, and is quite overshadowed by the majesty of the nearer Mauna .Kea. It is plainly seen to have a distinctly ascending grade clear to the summit. It is known, however, that the habitual route of the Spanish ships across the Pacific, was at a considerably lower latitude than that of Hawaii, and that their chance approach to that island would naturally have been upon the south. It is therefore the southern aspect of the island that should be studied, in considering the applicability to it of the name La Mesa. On the south side of Hawaii, Mauna Loa is the only mountain seen, and we wish to point out the fact, which we do not think has been hitherto noticed, that by a certain peculiar contour upon its southern side, this mountain does actually present in perspective, the semblance of a great table land. This peculiarity of contour consists in the existence of two great shoulders upon the E.S.E. and S.S.W. sides of Mauna Loa. The eastern one forms the great Kilauea plateau, which leaves the general slope of the great mountain at a 21 THE FRIEND. height of over 4,000 feet and with a very slight incline, quite flat to the eye, extends some ten miles to the sea, ending abruptly in the precipices above the Puna coast. The other great shoulder of Mauna Loa is that of Kahuku, which is also very nearly a plateau of some 0,0(1(1 feet in height. It runs out into the long southern extension of the island. On the south-east, as seen from Punaluu, it shows a precipitous front several miles back in the interior. These two shoulders or wings give to Mauna Loa a crescent-like contour towards the southeast. They also produce the deep bay of the south-east coast of the island, the head of which is at Punaluu. It is these two shoulders of the mountain with their precipitous fronts, seen with the main summit somewhat in the background, which in perspective present very precisely the aspect of an extended table land, as observed from vessels running down the coast from the eastward. The Spanish mariner we suppose to have first made the Puna coast. He first sees the great Kilauea plateau, with the low dome of Mouna Loa far in the rear, if seen at all. Passing Keauhou, Mauna Loa emerges fully into view, but as if a mere continuation inland of the Kilauea table, its actual height, as seen in perspective, escaping notice. Beyond the summit again, as the ship rapidly runs down with the trades, the Kahuku wing of the crescent comes to the front. The summit is still in the background, its actual height unappreciated ; the Kahuku shoulder seems but a continuation of one great plateau, of which the Mauna Loa summit seems to form the smooth level center. Although the distant center of the crescent is thrice the height of the nearer wings, yet as seen in perspective by an uninstructed eye, it would quite naturally be taken as but part of a table land of uniform height. This effect would be the more likely to be produced, since the first impression of a table land would have been so strongly given in approaching the Kilauea plateau from the east. It seems to us that much account should also be made of the very exceptionally smooth contours of Hawaii. High tropical islands almost universally present an aspect of serrated pinnacles and ridges, the effect of long continued atmospheric erosion. Hawaii and especially Mauna Loa has not yet experienced such erosion. Mauna Loa is a virgin mountain, only just emerged from Earth's fiery womb, her smooth form as yet unwrinkled and unscarred by the tempests of ages.- Such smooth, low mountain forms as those of southern Hawaii are seen nowhere else in the Pacific Ocean, or upon the adjacent continents. Their aspect must have been a strange one to the voyaging Spaniards. They would give it a strange and peculiar name. We seem certainly justified in claiming the name La Mesa as belonging to Hawaii, because it is distinctively characteristic of its southern perspective, and because it is absolutely inapplicable to any other island in the Pacific Ocean. Does not then the name La Mesa, identify the island of Hawaii beyond a doubt? We have shown it to fit perfectly the superficial aspect of that island as seen from the southeast; and it could never have been suggested by any other land in this ocean. Episcopacy. Our excellent brethren of the Anglican communion find some of themselves in a serious antagonism with their very devout and zealous Bishop. A portion of the facts are stated in the Anglican Church Chronicle. We cordially wish them a satisfactory issue from their difficulties, both in friendly regard to themselves and that their very needful spiritual force in the city and the land may not be obstructed. At the same time we are not rendered any the less content with our own democratic church polity, under which a difficulty like theirs could not arise. In civil affairs here, autocratic assumptions and arbitrary proceedings have of late come to be at a considerable discount. The same tendency is inevitable in ecclesiastical matters. In all communities where intelligence is increasing and character enlarging, there becomes less and less use for one-man control, either in state or church. Whatever authority may nominally be held by any functionary, the actual exercise thereof must, necessarily be adjusted to this patent fact, that intelligence and character do not fit themselves under arbitrary control. Either the monarch is content to become such only in name, or else he and his office disappear together from the scene. A function that was useful and even indispensable in barbarous social conditions, becomes useless and impracticable with developed christian civilization. Monthly Record of Events. Feb.

Hawaiian Board, Honolulu, Feb. 14th, 1880. Dear Sir:—The Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association through its Secretary and Treasurer, begs to present the following statement for your earnest consideration as a friend of the work it is engaged in doing among the churches and people of the Hawaiian Islands. We are now entering upon the second quarter-century of our work; we see before us a great opportunity, and are resolved to improve it. The needs of the hour and the strategic importance of the situation constrain us to appeal to you for the means toward a better equipment for this great enter- Rooms of the far he has indulged in but glimpses, and beyond all that he has seen there liest he yet larger, unexplored background.

But the chief and heaviest duty which lies upon us is toward the native Hawaiian. And first of all there stands our Training School for pastors. It is the center of our native work, and should be ever kept, in its appointments and instruction, in advance of the social and literary average of the people for whom it is maintained. And there is always before us, to be found in »ur rural districts, the spectacle of the poorly-housed, under-fed, debt-burdened native pastor, ekeing out his pittance of salary with the labor of his hands; expending in such prolonged work the energies that ought to be given to his pastorate. We ought to have at least $2,000 a .year to spend for the support of the work in feeble Hawaiian churches. Add to this large obligation of the Home field, that of the Foreign, and we have a burden indeed. We have spent for our Micronesian mission $2,679.50 more than has been specifically given to this work, and it is in need of yet further outlay. Its publication fund» stands credited to the amount of $1,387.65. But this does not represent an actual gain, for the books are sold at cost prices, and where there are receipts there have to be disbursements. Our Hawaiian publication fund also stands credited to the amount of $1,1 •Mi.4o. But this sum must be balanced against payments for a large invoice of Hawaiian Bibles and Hymn Books soon to be received. We have collections for foreign missions now on hand amounting to the sum of $357.50, and for work among the Japanese amounting to $335. Add to these sums three recent bequests amounting to $1,025, and we have in our treasury to be expended in our work but $1,717.60. We must soon make our appropriations for the salaries of our foreign missionaries. To put things on a proper footing, so that we can go forward in our work, not only without embarrassment, but with the vigor and advantage which is expected of us, we need at once at least $4,000.

During the year 1513 different men have belonged to the gymnasium. They have a Sunday p.m. meeting for young men which has grown from 35 or 40 to an average of 200. The Y. M. C. A. boys were much pleased at their last meeting with the very instructive talk of Mr. Joseph Emerson on "Hawaiian Life and Antiqui- ties." He had on exhibition a trunk full of interesting curios selected from his large and valuable collections. It was the most largely attended meeting of the year. At the meeting next Thursday, March 7, the subject will be "India," and Mr. Clifford, a gentleman who has recently returned from that country, will give the boys a description of some of the things he saw. We wish to call attention to the topics for the Sunday evening services, printed in another column. This is done that the members and friends may come to the meetings familiar with the subject and thus better prepared to take some part. Please bear this in mind and let a larger number come not only to hear, but to do the will of the Lord. you can about yourself. Ascertain from original sources if you are really the manner of man people say you are; find oot if you are always honest; if you always tell the square, perfect truth in business deals; if your life is as good and upright at eleven o'clock at night as it is at noon ; if you are as sound a temperance man on a fishing expedition as you are on a Sunday-school picnic ; if you are as good a boy when you go to the city as you are at home; if, in short, you really are the sort of a young man your father hopes you are, and your sweetheart'believes you are. Get on intimate terms with yourself, my boy, and, believe me, every time you come out from one of these private interviews you will be a stronger, better, purer man. Don't forget this, and it will do you good.— Selected, The Sin of Mission. Il isn't the thing you do, brother, It's the thing you leave undone. Which gives you a bit of heartache, At the setting of the sun. The tender word forgotten. The letter you did not write, The flower you might have sent, brother, Are your haunting'ghosts to night.

The gentle and winsome tone, That you had n time nor thought for. With troubles enough of your own. These little acts of kindness. So easily out of mind, These chances to be angels. Which even mortals find— They come in night and silence, Each chill, reproachful wraith, When hope is faint and flagging, And a blight has dropped on faith. Kor life is all too short, brother, And sorrow is all too great, To suffer our slow compassion That tarries until too late; And it's not the thing you do, brother. It's the thing you leave undone, Which gives you the bitter heartache, At the setting of the sun. Makc.arf.t E. Sangstkr > Work Every One Can Do. Don't talk louderthan you live. Hypocrites are poor witnesses. The first person to help is yourself; the next one is the nearest and most needy. Help the lost sinner first; the weak Christian will get into heaven, help him afterward. Invite the lost ones to service; do it by a kind word or letter, or any good way. Pray for them in private; speak of the meetings, praise them. Cut and send clippings out of the paper; use your pen; quote apt passages of Scripture. Introduce the unsaved to some one who will better tell them the way to salvation. Go with the inquirer to the altar or inquiry room. Ask them to your homes; talk and pray with them. Help make every meeting you attend a good one. If you cannot sing, move your lips in harmony with the singing. In public service be brief, both in prayer and remarks. Live for Christ in your homes. This is the great need of to-day. Wash dishes, sell calicoes or silks like a Christian. Keep sweet, happy and hopeful. Be a walking sermon. Don't growl with your face. If you are sick, show what grace can do. If you are tried, bear as only a heaven-helped man can. If you are in trouble, let the world see in you the peace of God. Let love to God flow out from all your actions. Lead the children to Christ. Keep away from doubtful things, and thus help a weak brother. Ask God to direct you to work, and He will do it inside of forty-eight hours. Don't quit work until the breath quits the body; then begin service on the other side, in Heaven.—C. H. Yatmaii. — Josh Billings on Infidelity. Impudence, ingratitude, ignorance and cowardice make up the kreed ov infidel- ity. It is a statistikal fakt that the wicked work harder to reach hell than the righteous do to enter heaven. I notiss one thing: When a man gets into a tight spot, he don't never send for his friend, the devil, to help him out.

A distinguished pastor writes to us : "Accept hearty thanks, please, for the January and February numbers of The Friend. I have enjoyed them, and especially your leaders, very much. Your views as to the protracted demand of semi-converted nations foroutside.Christian aid, strike me as resting on broad and strong reasonings. The student of "Ancient Christianity" (as Isaac Taylor sets it forth, c. g.) would draw the same inferences. What did those early Christian communities shortly become after the first instruments of their evangelization were withdrawn? What long ages of subsequent relapse and agony followed! What throes accompanied the Reformation back from relapse to ChrisI tianity again throughout Europe. thoroughly share, then, in your views and deem them extremely important. The Foreign missionary Secretaries have caught up the cry, and are rehearsing it all round the horizon, that our work is to carry the Gospel as a witness through and over the nations, that the evangelizing of the nations in this sense, and not the absolute converting and changing of the whole earth into a solid kingdom of God (righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost) is what we have to do, and that this "may be done by the close of the nineteenth century." That does not interpret within conceivable limits the great command, Matt. 18:19. They are busy minifying the character, dimensions and call of their own work. That were little. They are emasculating the grandest "marching orders" ever heard on earth. Hut I imagine that Premillenarianism, infectious even when not accepted, has much to do with originating such talk." Our friend's argument from the rapid debasement of the early Churches is a pregnant one. How different and how bright might have been their history had there somewhere existed at that period a powerful body of highly advanced and matured churches like those now in America and England, who could have taught and admonished them, and nursed them into Christian stature and strength, as the centuries went on. We seem to see a clear reason why the Lord did not stir up his churches in the earlier times to extensively evangelize any except the most vigorous and virile heathen peoples like our Teuton ancestors, just because they were incompetent to nourish and mother them, in the way that churches of the weaker races need to be nursed up. The chaste and rugged Teutons fought their way through into the larger light and back to Christ, and headed the Reformation. Probably the history and present condition of the Abyssinian church is a sample of the results the early church was capable of producing in evangelizing even a race mixed of stronger and weaker. It looks as if the Head of the Church had deferred the inspiring of his people to go actively forward in the grand enterprise of evangelizing the vast outlying races of the world, until they had acquired some degree of competence to can}' that work out to a successful issue by careful, wise, and patient iliseipliiig of them. The early churches propagate their debased and corrupted faith among the powerful races of Northern Europe. There it slowly develops, and with the restoration of the Bible, bursts into glorious power. Three centuries of training and maturing ensue, and now these churches of the latter day are comparatively matured and established in enlightened faith. For their own higher growth and for the world's expedited redemption, the Lord at last inspires these blessed and favored churches to carry their light to the dark, wretched children of paganism, and lead them into loyal obedience to the King of Righteousness and Peace. We seem at last to have been chosen for a work of glorious privilege. Hut it is a work of severe toil and patient, protracted service. These children of darkness will have to be tenderly and carefully trained into Christian living by the labor of enlightened and devoted Christian men and women for many generations before they will stand alone in steadfast loyalty and faith. Are our churches ready for this great work ? Persecution of Protestants in the Loyalty Islands. More than a year ago, we recorded the brutal expulsion from Mare, of the Rev. J. Jones, in December 9, IRH7, by the French authorities. He had labored there with the highest success, for twenty-three years. At the same time, the people suffered much persecution for refusing to join the French state church. Their churches were forcibly closed. They were forbidden to gather elsewhere for worship. They were not allowed to teach their children to read their Bibles in Sunday schools. All schools were closed except those taught in the French language. The people, however, diligently taught the Bible to their children in their own houses. The Protestant native pastors of Mare were also sent in exile to New Caledonia, charged with no other crime than refusing obedience to the Government in matters of conscience. Latterly, however, M. Nouet, the new Governor ofNew Caledonia, has released and returned to their homes all the Mart exiles; he has determined that the persecutions carried on by his predecessor in the Loyalty Islands shall entirely cease. Rev. J. Jones, since his exile, has begun with his former associate Mr. Creagh, the revision of the entire Bible, on the translation of which he had long and diligently toiled. He was, however, speedily summoned to England by his Directors. He will probably soon resume and complete the preparation of the whole Bible in the Mare tongue. We have just received Handicraft for February, and welcome this latest recruit to Hawaiian journalism. It purports to be "a monthly journal devoted to manual training," and is "printed by boys of Kamehameha School." It is evidently not edited by any of that ilk, but by some more experienced sons of wisdom's household. Our good neighbor of the Advertiser gets such a castigation in the last number for a recent freak of alliterate verbosity, that The Friend must be on guard against any similar indecorous saltations or journalistic frivolosities. An address of Hon. C. R. Bishop lends value to the first number. The typography is thoroughly creditable to that department of manual training in the school. The prospectus of the school on each fourth page is of high interest. �THE FRIEND. 26 [April, 1889. evidence that these religions were all corruptions from an WHY ARE THE HAWAIIANS DYING OUT? original Monotheism, retaining something of that earlier Elements of Disability for Survival Among the Hawaiian People. religious recognition of the Righteousness and Benevolence By [Read to Honolulu Rev. S. E. Bishop. Social Science Association, Noveinbei, 1888.] Concluded. There are sacrifices of pigs and fowls; there are complex incantations. There are doubtless various efforts allied to mesmeric or hypnotic phenomena. Violent sweatings and purgings are frequently used to promote the expulsion of the demon, with great physical severities of different kindsi such as often are of themselves fatal to the patient. The tension of anxiety and dread is terrible and very weakening. A great mortality results directly from this violent and terrifying treatment. Furthermore, there is a large mortality caused by pure mental apprehension, where no disease originally existed. The sufferer is told that a sorcerer is at work against him ; he at once sickens, and is prostrated, and soon dies. Or he is solemnly warned by a learned kahuna that he has symptoms of dangerous disease impending. Or he is conscious of having committed some act, such as the violation of a vow, which has offended the family deity, or aumakua, and through mental apprehension, the same effect of sickening ensues. All these things play into the hands of the medicine man, bring him dupes and victims, increase his revenue, and multiply the mortality of the people. It is difficult to determine to what extent these superstitious agencies are still at work. There is painful reason to believe that their activity has been greatly revived of late years. There is much ground for thinking that a large proportion of the more intelligent and educated Hawaiians, when they fall ill, are prone to succumb to the inherited superstition. It is commonly remarked that the Hawaiian, when sick, shows a strange lack of recuperative power. He dies easily. He becomes depressed and surrenders, where other men would recover. Probably in most such cases, the cause is his superstitious belief in a demon, whom he feels working at his vitals, and whom it is hopeless to resist. 6. Idolatry. This is intimately connected with the above-named agency. Its chief importance, however, in this discussion, is in its character as the most efficient of all the agencies that disorder the mental and debase the moral action of the people, and»which frustrate and neutralize remedial influences. It resembles Drunkenness in this respect, but I think very far exceeds it in its evil ethical efficiency. All thinkers, of whatever creed or type of skepticism, consider a pepple's religion to have an immense formative power upon them. The institutions, the customs, and the conduct of a people are certain to be shaped and patterned, in a great degree, after whatever embodiments of moral ideals they believe in, such as deified heroes, and deities of whatever sort whom they fear and worship. If the gods of any nation,-like those of early Egypt, are understood to exercise substantial justice, to reward virtue, purity, and temperance, and to punish vice, treachery, and cruelty, such a nation will continue to cherish the higher, and to despise the baser qualities. Righteousness has the sanction of religion, and the nation grows and prospers. The Polytheisms of Egypt, of Greece, of Rome, of Chaldsa, in their earlier and less corrupted forms, exalted much of the higher elements of character; hence a good degree of civilization became possible under these religions. This was also true of the earlier Brahminism of the Vedas. There is strong of the Heaven-Father, the Dyaus-Pitar, Zeus-Pater, or Jupiter of the Aryan races. It is most noticeable how, from debased races, these nations imported successively the worship of evil gods—the Baals, Molochs, Astartes, Kalis, gods of lust, cruelty, falsehood, debauchery. These fastened as parasites upon the earlier and cleaner Polytheisms, and so corroded and poisoned the social and political life of those great nations. Whether, as Fornander maintains, any traces of an ancient Monotheism can be discerned in the Polynesian Pantheon, may be considered doubtful. It is certain, however, that the prevailing characteristics attributed to even the highest gods, such as Pomander's Trinity of Ku, Kane, and Kanaloa, were wretchedly evil and unclean. There arc-not merely strong tendencies to animalism and cruelty, with frequent lapses into crimes of lust and revenge, such as disfigure Greek mythology. These gods of the Hawaiians become absolute embodiments of bestiality and malignity, like Moloch and other gods of the Canaanites. The impure and malignant essence of Hawaiian deities is visibly embodied in their images. In contrast to the personal beauty of the Greek gods, the aim and the effort of the carver is to depict an extreme of malignity and sensuality. The lineaments are made as revolting and horrific as the artist can combine them from vicious types of animal savagery, such as the shark or the boar. The first impression is a just one, that a people who worshipped such deities as these images represent could not be otherwise than profoundly perverted in their ethical sentiments. The various legends of the chief gods abound in attributes of the most excessive bestiality. They are generally incapable of being printed without extensive expurgation. A loathsome filthiness is not mere incident, but forms the groundwork of character, not merely of the great hog-god Kamapuaa, but even of the more human-like Ku and Kane of the chief Trinity. The moral ideas of the worshippers of such gods could not fail to suffer extreme perversion. Justice and Purity were in contempt. Cruelty and Lust were exalted into religion. The late Matthew Arnold, eliminating personality from the idea of the God of Christendom, defined Deity as "The Stream of Tendency in the Universe that makes for Righteousness." If we could eliminate these horrific personalities from the Hawaiian Pantheon, we might well count the ideal residuum to stand for the stream of tendency that makes for all wickedness. It was an embodied Diabolism. As a shaping force upon character, and a moving force upon conduct, this diabolic religion takes its energy from Sorcery. Sorcery brings these evil gods down as living active powers interposing in all circumstances of life. By the arts of the kahunas the people were held, and, to a considerable extent, are still held, in habitual fear of these powerful gods and their subordinate demons. Their lives are continually threatened by them. Every internal sense of illness is the deadly touch, sensibly felt, of a god. So the people were held in abject slavery to their gods, and to the priests who could influence them. Slaves to such unclean beings, they tend to be like them; their moral sentiments are overturned; evil becomes good, and good evil. Lewdness, prostitution, indecency, drunkenness, being godlike, are exalted into virtues. Recent practical illustrations of this are not lacking. One of the foul florescences of this great poison tree of Idolatry is the Hula. This is most intimately connected with the whole system, and forms an essential part of its services, just as Sacred Music does of Christian worship. The hula dances are habitually idolatrous in practice, having their special patron gods, whom the dancers invoke and worship. The chief posturings and movements of the hulas are pantomimes of unnameable lewdness, illustrated and �THE FRIEND. 27 Volume 47, No. 4.] of such schools conducted by Protestants, Anglicans, and Catholics. Adversely, the youth who go out of these schools are at once plunged into a sea of indescribable temptation. Yet much of our best hopes for the future of the race is in the increasing numbers of these well-trained Hawaiians. They tend to form an elevated and civilized social class of their own. This is opposed and disintegrated by a Hawaiian social leadership," whose tendencies are all adverse. 4. Christian Instruction will continue to be regarded by earnest believers in Christianity as the chief effective agency in healing the nation's maladies. They hold that Faith in Christ has power to emancipate from fear of demon-gods: they believe that the implanting of the high ideal of righteousness of which Jesus of Nazareth is the source, will in the end erect in all minds a standard of integrity and purity which will be more effectual than anything else in securing moral and healthy living among the people. Probably the most of the many true and earnest friends of right living who do not accept the supernatural element of Christian doctrine would agree that for the Hawaiian, in his present mental stage of development, such a faith would be a more efficient antidote than any scientific or philosophical teaching could be. If it be asked why sixty-eight years of Christian teaching has not availed to lift the Hawaiian people out of the mire of impure living, if it be thus efficacious, its teachers would point to the great increase of adverse influences for the last thirty years, and to the direct fostering of sorcery and hulas by authority during that time, and latterly to the promotion of hardly concealed worship of the gods. They would also point to the immense growth of foreign elements whose unfavorable influence has been illustrated in the case of the Chinese. They would also call special attention to the fact that, during the period of powerful missionary ascendancy, say from 1833 to 1853, while nearly the whole people became nominal adherents of Christianity, only a minority become actual members of the churches, while the great majority, although outwardly assenting, remained wedded to their habitual vice, and secretly to their superstitions, and that the more Christian minority gave place by death to another generation far less strongly impressed and less fervid in religious interest. In accordance with the foregoing statement of facts, as I clearly understand them, and whose substantial correctness I think cannot be gainsaid, there seems to be no radical remedy for the two great causes of infertility and mortality, viz: Unchastity and Sorcery, except a system of vigorously extirpating those two allied agencies in which they generate and are nourished, the Hulas and the Kahunas. Both are purely heathen institutions of the most pronounced and detestable type, and are totally incompatible with any true and wholesome civilization. They should both be hunted down and exterminated like the venomous reptiles that they are, poisoning and slaying the people. Until this is done with determined thoroughness, I see little prospect of arresting the decrease of the Hawaiian people. The Hawaiian Race is one that is well worth saving. With all their sad frailties, they are a noble race of men, physically and morally. They are manly, courageous, enterprising, cordial, generous, unselfish. They are highly receptive of good. They love to look forward and upward, even though very facile to temptations to slide backward and downward. In an unusual degree, they possess a capacity for fine and ardent enthusiasm for noble ends. Should the Hawaiian people leave no posterity, a very sweet, generous, interesting race will have been lost to the world. They can be saved. They have deserved too well of mankind—they have been too kindly, too friendly, too lofty. and magnanimous, not to merit the most devoted trustful Domestic and Industrial Training in boarding schools has to avert their threatening fate, and to set them forefforts excellent work for and is doing accomplished much more, ward a hopeful course.

This is the Sacred Music of Idolatry, its Opera and its Drama. The multitudes of men, women and children who throng to these royal /ih/ii-operas there drink in the heathen ethics of social life in unmitigated directness and grossness, made sensational with vivid pantomime of beastliness, and embellished with foul wit and jest in song, extolling and dramatizing impurity. Against such schooling, it must be a powerful civilizing force that can make head and redeem any Hawaiian homes from becoming brothels. 7. Wifeless Chinese. This is an evil of recent growth, which acts most perniciously upon the social life oi Hawaiians. There are some 80,000 Chinamen of the lowest class, without their women, distributed throughout the islands in close contact with the natives, and in many districts outnumbering the Hawaiian males. The effect is necessarily very destructive to the purity of native families, although not more so than the presence of a similar number of unmarried whites would be. There is no doubt but that many native households in all parts of the country are maintained in comparative affluence by the intimacy of Chinese with their females. Some of the heads of these families are members in good standing in the Protestant churches, whose easy-going native pastors lack the energy and authority to deal with the offenders, while the moral sentiment prevailing both within and outside of the church is too feeble to put them to shame. The catalogue of destructive elements making for the death of the Hawaiian people, as enumerated above, is an appalling one. It certainly suffices to account for any amount of infertility and mortality. On the other hand, there are many sanative and restorative agencies at work, which inspire hope for the repression of these evils, and afford prospect for the reinforcement and augmentation of healing agencies. I briefly name some of the most efficient: 1. Government Medical Aid. Paid physicians are within reach of most of the people, whose services to them are free of charge. Their help should save many more lives than they do, or than they will, so long as the people are taught Idolatry, and to trust in the kahunas. It is not in itself a very easy thing for a skilled physician to gain the confidence of the native people in the degree that he needs for any considerable success. It is nearly impossible for him to do so, when contending as he generally is with active superstition in the minds of his patients, and their friends, and with the army of kahunas working with all their arts against him. His prescriptions will very commonly be neglected, and his injunctions disobeyed. I have not the slightest doubt that a hearty reception by the Hawaiian people of the medical aid now provided, discarding their kahunas, would at once cause births to preponderate over deaths. 2. Hygienic Instruction. There has been a great deal of instruction given upon the laws of health and simple remedial treatment in the schools and churches, and by means of books. Dr. Judd's translation of Cutter's Anatomy and Physiology was printed nearly fifty years ago, and used as a text book in the leading high school. Such instruction has done great service. It has proved insufficient, however, to make head against the inveterate belief in the supernatural cause of disease. It is likely to continue inadequate, so long as the kahunas are encouraged to ply their arts. 3. School Education. Book knowledge, and even the much vaunted education in English, have sadly failed to arm Hawaiians against succumbing to superstition and its kindred impurity, either in the ranks of the lowly or the �28 THE FRIEND. Episcopacy. — The Krienii. Sir. In asking permission to say a few words in your columns with reference to your article on "Episcopacy" in your March issue, I will promise at the outset that I am not going to write a dissertation on Episcopacy, for as I cannot expect you to regard that institution from my point of view, so I freely admit that the opinion you express is the result of the position in which you stand towards it. Hence it does not in the least disturb my equanimity to find myself regarded by The Friend as an anachronism in the nineteenth century, like some unfortunate dodo that may still be lingering in the unexplored parts of Australia having survived the geological period to which it properly belongs, one occupying an office which having ceased to be beneficial to mankind, (I suppose since the days of Oliver ofblessed memory) should be relegated to the dust heap of the past. But, when not satisfied with consigning both kings and bishops to your heap ol old lumber, you proceed to dogmatize as follows: "In all communities where intelligence is increasing and character enlarging, there becomes less and less use for one-man control, either in state or church," you give utterance to a statement which is certainly open to discussion before it is admitted into the creed of mankind, and which moreover may be discussed without trenching on matters of theological or ecclesiastical controversy. I» it, then, the case that there is less use today for one-man control than formerly ? Where is the proof of the statement? If a man-of-war comes into the harbour, no matter whether she carries the flag of England, or the United States, whether she belongs to autocratic Russia, or to republican France, the ship is under one-man control. There is not a ship afloat, from the ship of war to the small coasting schooner, that is not under one-man control. Come ashore and enter the police court; fines and imprisonment are daily imposed on transgressors of the law, by one man sitting alone on the bench, who will commit for contempt of court any one who murmurs at his decisions. Go into a school, and you find the order and discipline dependent on one-man or one-woman control. If you want to cross to one of the other islands, you find yourself under oneman control, who notifies you that you will be allowed a deck passage, if under the qualms of seasickness you lie down in your berth with your boots on. When you return home, should you venture to interfere with the celestial oneman control that dominates your cook-house, a ruined dinner will be your just retribution. Travel abroad, and in every hotel you enter, every train you travel by will still be under oneman control. So far then from the growth of any community rendering useless one-man control, it appears rather that the increase of activity, and the interchange of commercial, social and political relations between communities makes the need of one-man control to be increasingly felt in every department. It matters not whether it be a department of the state, or a factory, or a trading company, or a plantation, or a ship, or a railway train, or even your cooking range, the one-man control centralizes at once authority and responsibility. One-man control is the surest safeguard against despotic and arbitrary conduct. The principle underlying one-man control, whether the one-man be the captain of a man-of-war, or the manager ola plantation, or an engine-driver, is that whilst invested with supreme authority in his own department, he is yet a man under authority, who can be called to account should he on the one hand arbitrarily neglect to exercise the authority committed to him, or on the other presume to transgress the limits of his instructions. Now this is precisely the position occupied by a Bishop in the church. If invested with the chief authority within her own jurisdiction, he is still under the authority of the church of which he is a minister. It is his office not to make but to administer the laws of the church, and to see that they are observed. And when charges of arbitrary conduct are freely scattered abroad Euitor of against an overseer, one might justly complain o an editor lending wings to such charges before he has made inquiry into the foundation on which they rest. To the mind ol the schoolboy, a head master is terribly arbitrary who inquires into and takes notice of an offence, but no suspicion of arbitrariness crosses the schoolboy mind when an extra holiday is given. In later life popular judgments too often follow the schoolboy way of looking at things. Were I disposed to be cantankerous, I might take you to task for the impression unfavorable to myself that your article was clearly intended to leave in the minds of your readers, and that on, as you admit, imperfect information with regard to the matter in hand. But rather than do this, let me say that I entirely agree with your statement that arbitrary proceedings have of late come to be at a considerable discount. Yes, has not the arbitrary power of a secret council which not two years ago gagged the press, and under which no man durst call his soul his own, vanished away like smoke? If I mistake not certain arbitrary proceedings with which my responsible position has brought me into antagonism, will be similarly discounttd and discountenanced by all who have respect for law, and desire to see the religious and social as well as political fabric built up on the foundation of truth and integrity. Yours faithfully, ALFRED WILLIS, March 22, 1889. Bishop of Honolulu. The Bishop of Honolulu. After much hesitation, and at some inconvenience, we have given space to Bishop Willis' communicator. We sin- cerely regret the division in the Anglican Church, and apprehend that this letter will not tend to allay it. This, however, is not for us to judge, and the Bishop has some claim to a hearing in the Friend, after our allusion to the case, for making which we thought that we had sound reasons. Our information was by no means confined to what appeared in the Anglican Monthly, as the Bishop seems to infer. The tone of his letter may assist our readers in forming an opinion as to whether any element of "arbitrariness" entered into the Bishop's recent proceedings, or whether he exhibited due regard to the opinions of the able and esteemed gentlemen with whom he is at issue, and who are by no means "schoolboys." In regard to the "Secret Council" who initiated the late political Reform, we would say for the information of our readers abroad, that substantially all the measures of Reform which the League devised are now part of the Constitution and laws of this Kingdom, and that the Ministry nominated by the League are still in their seats, administering our public affairs with reasonable success, and not more than the average wholesome amount of adverse criticism. Having successfully accomplished its task of suppressing Autocratic and establishing Responsible government, any further activity on the part of such secret council would seem uncalled for, and inconsistent with their own principles. Herein, however, the Bishop seems unable to repress the exhibition of that profound sympathy for Autocracy in opposition to Constitutional government, which has always characterized the Prelatical order. Although we do not, like Bishop Willis, [April, 1889. consider theprelatical Episcopate to have any special Divine sanction, we feel no such disrespect for that office, or for the office of a king, as he imputes to us. In certain very common social conditions, those officers are more or less indispensable, like parental control over minors. In advanced social conditions, they may continue to be useful and endurable, if prudently administered. We have the highest respect for a monarch like Victoria, who scrupulously keeps within her established limitations, or for a diocesan Bishop, who ministers faithfully and wisely, as a' servant of the Church, and not as an autocrat. Our observation about "use for one man control," was specially limited (as quoted by the Bishop) to "either in state or church." None of his instances are of either civil or ecclesiastical administration, and so have no application to the case. Three of the leading nations, England, France, and America, are now under almost purely Representative government. A large proportion of the leading Protestant churches are quite emancipated from hierarchic control. We seem to clearly see this to be the line upon which our Lord is guiding the world's upward progress towards his coming kingdom of righteousness and peace. We look upon the present unhappy trouble in the Anglican church in Honolulu as an instructive object-lesson as to this resistless tendency in enlightened communities towards liberal and against autocratic administration. Such a lesson seemed too important and interesting to be passed by without such application as we made of it. In all this we disclaim any personal disrespect for the Bishop, whom we regard a most estimable and conscientious gentleman. Church Dedication at Paia. On Sunday, March 10th, the Makawao Foreign Church occupied for the first time their commodious and elegant church edifice at Paia. Special dedicatory services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Thos. L. Gulick, assisted by Rev. Messrs. W. B. Oleson and S. E. Bishop, who were invited from Honolulu for that purpose. An audience of fully two hundred persons were assembled, nearly all whites. After the introductory services, including anthemsand responsive readings, " Dedicatory Remarks" were presented by the pastor, in an address of great force and earnestness. A responsive service was then recited by the pastor and people, standing. It closed with formal words of solemn dedication of the the house to the worship and service of God. Dedicatory prayer was offered by Rev. S. E. Bishop. Messrs. Oleson and Bishop addressed the people on the topics of " The Church and the Community," and "The Church and the World."

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Board is responsible for its contents. Rev. 0. P. Emerson, - Editor. Arrival of the Morning Star. A little past noon on Wednesday, March Gth, the Morning Star steamed into our harbor, and was soon alongside of her usual wharf. In reference to the return of the Star, the old saying is verified again and again, that "the unexpected always happens." According to the programme of the voyage, April 29 was to be the day of return, making a full ten months' voyage from the time of departure, July 13. The Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, Rev. O. P. Emerson, started on Tuesday (only the day before the arrival of the Star) to make a four weeks' tour around the island of Hawaii. His absence during the hurrying times between the arrival of the Star and the departure for the States of the missionaries who came up from Micronesia and left March 14 on the Australia for San Francisco, was much regretted. Effort was made to get word to him in season to ensure his return on the 12th, but it was unavailing. Rev. F. E. Rand and Miss J. E. Fletcher from Ponape, Rev. D.J. Treiber, wife and babe from Ruk, Rev. A. C. Walkup and three motherless children from Kusaie, came up in the Star on their way to the States. Mr. Snelling was left living alone in his house at Ruk to care for that large field, with such assistance as the helper, H. F. Worth, could give. Mr. Doane, now nearly 70 years of age, is left alone to attend to the church work on Ponape, while Miss Ingersoll and Miss Palmer must carry on the Ponape Girls' Hoarding School with all the disadvantages of ill health and over-taxed energies. The Gilbert Islands Training School on Kusaie is closed. The school on Kusaie for Gilbert and Marshall Islands girls, 12 of each, is under the charge of Miss Smith and Miss Little. The Gilbert Island girls expect to be taken home on the next voyage of the Star for a visit. Miss Crosby assists Dr. and Mrs. Pease in the training school on Kusaie for the Marshall Islands Mission, but her health is not good, even when she is at her best. The Star was favored with exceptionally good weather during the whole voyage. The change made in the usual route, so as to give the first of the time to the Marshall Islands work, proves to have been a better arrangement for securing freedom from detention and danger, than the plan of previous voyages. The work was so far advanced early in the trip that nearly four weeks less than the allotted time sufficed for doing up subsequently the Gilbert Islands work, and returning to Kusaie to take the final departure for the Carolines, Their work among the Mortlocks was shortened far within the allotted time, but the Star did not return to Ponape lest the provisions should not suffice for the voyage to Honolulu with so many passengers. Besides the returning missionaries, the Star brought up the officers of the shipwrecked San Francisco trading vessel Champion,from Ponape. They had waited nearly four months for an opportunity to return to the States. At Tarawa, one of the Gilbert Islands, the Star found remains of the wreck of a vessel whose name, the Rock Terrace, Captain Garland found after several hours search, on a piece of board that had drifted ashore. The vessel itself had been abandoned at Guam, and drifted over 2,000 miles, with only slight damage, to be finally wrecked only a few yards from the channel into the lagoon, where it might have found a harbor of safety for an indefinite period. Very little of her cargo of kerosene oil was secured by the islanders. The Star had her narrow escapes as usual, and touched twice on the coral reefs of islands visited. Capt. Garland dropped anchor forty-one times, visited thirty-two different islands, some of them never before visited by this Star, Mejuro, Ujae and Namu in the Marshall group, and Xgatic in the Carolines. It is always an occasion for regret that a steam windlass for hoisting was not part of the equipment of the Star. With the few seamen that constitute the crew, the difficulty and danger of weighing anchor would be greatly diminished if steam power could be used for this purpose. The vessel must be newly coppered before the next voyage. The paint put on a year ago has proved of great benefit in protecting the copper, but the excessive saltness of tropic seas corrodes the metal with great rapidity. The Star's copper is remarkably clean, probably from lying so long in fresh water at Kusaie. The German officials in the Marshall Islands have established such regulations for vessels plying in the group as greatly to enhance the difficulties of the voyage. Two hundred and fifty dollars must be paid for a license to sell goods; and to visit Pleasant Island, recently annexed by the Germans, a vessel must get the requisite papers from Jaluij, the only port of entry in the Marshall Islands, to which group Pleasant Island does not belong. The German commercial firm which has agreed to make up the expenses of administration, must, in order to save themselves from pecuniary loss, fillout the cash balance to their credit by heavy taxation on the people and the traders. One great difficulty in the proper management of the Star seems to be the failure always to secure Christian men, interested in helping forward its missionary work, and in maintaining its good name as a missionary vessel while managing their special work of navigating the ship. In spite of the many perplex- 31 THE FRIEND. ities peculiar to the character of the work, Capt. Garland has shown admirable patience and consistency. It must not be forgotten, in the interest felt for the success of the Micronesian mission, that much of that success must depend on the character, ability and helpfulness of the master of the missionary packet. Marquesas Islands. It is pleasant to learn through Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson, the well-known author, who has recently visited the Marquesas group, that the veteran Hawaiian missionary Rev. S. Kauwealoha, continues to exercise a strong personal influence in the cause of religion and morality. Amid the foreign residents, with their loose living and rough words, he bears himself with geniality and courtesy, yet with dignity and prudence, as befits a Christian minister. Rev. A. Savran, a protestant French missionary from Tahiti, has assisted Rev. James Kekela since March, 18N2, in his work at Puamau, where there is a school with 80 children. Kekela's youngest daughter has been sent to Tahiti to acquire a better knowledge of the French language, which is now the only language to be used in the schools. She will be fifteen years old in July, at which time she expects to return to the Marquesas. Emily Hapuku has a school at Atuona with 70 scholars. The children at Fatuiva and Uapou must go to the Catholic schools, because no other teachers are provided. Kekela and Kauwealoha are doing their best to translate the New Testament into the Marquesan language. They would like to receive letters frequently from Hawaii, but few persons write to them, and they are sad to think how completely cut off is all personal connection with the home land and home friends. The Japanese Mission. Rev. K. Miyama is indefatigable in his labors for the good of his countrymen. Nearly 200 of them returned to Japan by the last steamer, but before their departure presented $ 160 to the Buddhist priest who came by that vessel, and who is now maintaining Buddhist rites at Hilo. There are six class meetings now organized, and meetings are held every Friday evening at Waikiki. The Sunday school, the singing class, the English evening school, the Sunday morning and Wednesday evening classes, the Y. M. C. A. semi-monthly meetings, the Mutual Benefit Union, the Temperance League, are all flourishing. Mr. Ukai had remarkable success in his recent preaching tour on Hawaii. Mr. Takeshita has visited every plantation on Maui. Rev. Mr. Miyama went to Hilo via the volcano on the W. G. Hall, on the 26th ult., expecting to be absent from Honolulu several weeks. �[April, 1889. THE FRIEND 32 The Secretary received a very pleasant call from Mr. C. H.

A return to the of Christian work in this ocean-girt KingHall has resulted in increased attendance and more profitable meetings. The Blue Ribbon entertainments have not been held so frequently for the past few months, but have been better attended when held, more men present and a larger number of names have been added to the pledge roll. Several have called on the Secretary during the intervening days and signed the pledge; showing more good is wrought than appears at the time, in the meetings. Now that we are shut up to our own resources in gospel work, let the following words of the Psalmist become more emphatically our motto: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." The book-keeping class has been suspended during the limited absence of Mr. Jones. It will be resumed on his return. Personals. We miss the familiar and helpful presence of Mr. P. C. Jones, who, accompanied by his wife, has taken a briefbusiness trip to San Francisco. Mr. Henry K. Hyde, who for the last two years has been a regular attendant upon our meetings and a quiet helper in our work, has left these tropical shores to make his home in the East. Mr. T. S. Southwick, who after an absence of two years in Southern California, has returned to Honolulu to fill a business engagement for a year, at least. Mr. Southwick served the Association most faithfully as its treasurer for two years during his former residence here. We are glad to welcome him again to our working force, and especially at this time when others are taking their departure. dom is its isolated location. We are largely shut in to ourselves and become so well acquainted with the workers and their methods, that the very familiarity, robs both men and means of their power to move and affect us for the highest good. For the last two or three years there has been a deepening conviction among our leading Christian workers, that a wise, able and consecrated evangelist should be secured to come down and stir us up. From a human stand-point this seems to be our supreme need. And the right man, under God will rind this a fruitful field for evangelistic labor. Earnest efforts have been made at different times to secure the help of three prominent Evangelists in America, but each has sent a negative response owing to uigent calls at home. Yet we believe early and well matured plans may secure a desirable Evangelist for a series of meetings next fall or in the early winter. And thereby we may share in the large blessing enjoyed in so many cities in the States, where hundreds of young men have been won to the Master during the last few months through the efforts of these divinely appointed messengers of life.

John 14:2, 3. Young men and strangers are cordially invited to the above services. , Christianity Forcibly Defended. The worst kind ofreligion in no religion at all, and all these men, lying in ease and luxury, indulging themselves in the "amusement of going without religion," may be thankful they live in lands where the gospel they neglect has tamed the beastliness and ferocity of the men who, but for Christianity, might long ago have eaten their carcasses like the S. S. Islanders, or cut off their heads and tanned their hides like the monsters of the French Revolution. When the microscopic search of skepticism, which has hunted the heavens and sounded the seas to disprove the existence of a Creator, has turned its attention to human society, and has found a place on this planet ten miles square, where a decent man can live in decency, comfort and security, supporting and educating his children, unspoiled, unpolluted—a place where age is reverenced, infancy respected, manhood respected, womanhood honored, and human life held in due regard—when skeptics can find such a place, ten miles square on this globe, where the gospel of Christ has not cleared the way, and laid the foundation and made decency and security possible, it will then be in order for skeptical literati to move thither and ventilate their views. But, as long as these men are dependent upon the religion, which they discard, for every privilege they enjoy, they may well hesitate a little before they seek to rob the Christian of his hope, and humanity of its faith in that Saviour who has alone given to man that hope of life eternal which makes life tolerable and society possible, and robs death of its terrors and the grave of its gloom.— jfames Russell Lowell. Some persons instead of "putting off the old man," dress him up in a new shape. St. Bernard. What the Bible brings to you will depend in a large measure on what you bring to it. You may have a crumb, or a loaf, or a granary full to bursting, just as you choose.—Dr. Behrcnds. Unless a man has trained himself for his chance, the chance will only make him ridiculous. A great occasion is worth to a man exactly what his antecedents has enabled him to make of it. William Matthews. One thousand four hundred and ninetythree young men profess conversion in the associations of Illinois. Of this number, 562 are known to have joined evangelical churches from October, 1887, to October, 1888. A Vale graduate who was a student about thirty years ago, said, in speaking of changes that had taken place since his time: "I never knew whether to attach any significance to it or not; but when I was there the law school adjoined the jail, the medical college was next the cemetery, and the divinity school was on theroad to the poorhouse. — — �THE FRIEND.

" This book is a carefully written history of the translation of the Bible and parts thereof which have been printed and circulated in the different languages of the natives of Oceanica. The dates of the first and of later editions are In the Loyalty Islands, the New Tesin 1867, in Lifu in 1868, and in Uvea in 1878. These have also been the work of the London Missionaries, save an edition of 500 copies of Mark, in 1859, in Lifu, translated by Mr. (afterwards Bishop) Patteson. Mr. Jones who was lately expelled by the French from Mare, has the entire Bible nearly ready for the press in that tongue. In New Britain, the chief laborer has been Rev. Geo. Brown, since 1875. He is supported by the Australian Wesleyans. He published Mark in 1882 and other portions in 1886. Like the more debased savages elsewhere, and especially the very sunken tribes of Melanesia, the people of New Britain have a multiplicity of tongues. The missions of New Guinea were begun as late as 1871 by Messrs Murray and McFarlane, of the London Missionary Society. The four Gospels were printed in 1884 in Motumotu, which is the Malayan branch of the mission, at Port Moresby. Mark and John are translated into the Papuan tongue spoken at the other branch at Murray Island. This is a young mission of great promise. There remain to be noted the issues of the American Bible Society in the various tongues of Micronesia, as given in this book. The translation of the New Testament was begun by Key. Hiram Bingham, Jr., into the language of the Gilbert Islands in 1859, and portions thereof were soon printed and in the hands of the people. Mr. Hotchkiss the printer, at Apaiang, of several books, is still living in Honolulu. Owing to repeated failures of health, the New Testament was only completed in 1873. A revised electrotype edition was issued in New York in 1880, and many thousand copies have been sold. Mr. Bingham has also translated a considerable portion of the Old Testament, six books of which have been issued from the press. He hopes to complete the whole Bible by 1893. The New Testament in the Marshall Islands tongue was brought to completion by Rev. Dr. Pease, and published in 1885. Dr. Pease is proceeding with the Old Testament. Genesis was printed in 1882, from Rev. J. F. Whitney's translation. Kusaie or Strong's Island, Through the labors of Rev. B. G.

Mr. Snow died in 1880. tament appeared in Mare given; the numbers of books printed are stated; the names of the translators of different portions are recorded. Interesting and important circumstances connected with the foregoing are related. A brief resume of the missionary operations in each group is given as a necessary part of the history of the circulation of the Scriptures. This volume is thus not only a history of the work done in the Pacific at the cost of the British and American Bible Societies, but also a very lively, although abridged history of Protestant Missions in the Pacific. It possesses a high value as a book of reference on the latter topic, while it must be the standard of reference upon the former subject. We have hastily gone over the book, and find in it the history of the publication of the entire Bible by the British and Foreign Bible Society in six Polynesian languages, namely Tahitian, 1838, Rarotongan, 1852, Samoan, 1859, Tongan, 1859; Fijian, 1864, and New Zealand, 1869; also the New Testament in Niue and Rotuman in 1866 and 1870, with half the Old Testament in the former, and portions of the same in the latter. The first Scripture printed in Rotuman, was Matthew, translated by Rev. Joseph VVaterhouse. The American Bible Society completed the entire Scriptures in the Hawaiian tongue in May, 1839, just a half century ago, and one year later than the Tahitian mission, which was begun twenty-three years earlier than the Hawaiian. The New Testament was first issued in the Hawaiian tongue in 1833, in Tahitian, 1830, Rarotongan, 1838, New Zealand, 1837, Samoan, 1850. In Tonga, Fiji and Rotuma, the work was done by Wesleyan Missionaries; in the rest, except New Zealand, by those of the London Missionary Society. The New Zealand work was done by men of the Church Missionary Society. The British Society has also printed the Scriptures in thirteen languages of Melanesia. Seven of these are in the New Hebrides group, viz.: Fotuna, Niua, Aneiteum, Tanna, Eramanga, Vate or Sandwich 1., and Nguna. In five of these tongues only portions of the Scriptures have been printed. The New Testament is just being issued in Tanna, besides much of the Old Testament. The entire Bible was published in Ponape or Ascension Island. Aneiteum by the labors of Messrs GedMr. Gulick translated the first eight des and Copeland, in 1881, the New Testament having been previously chapters of Matthew, which were printed issued in 1862. The evangelization of in 1859. Messrs Sturges and Doane the New Hebrides was begun through completed the New Testament, and the have These are closely allied in language. Mr. Logan got Mark printed in 1880. Through the American Bible Society he published the whole New Testament in 1883. This was done, and quite well done, in five years after he began to learn the language. This was rapid work. The best time we find to have been made elsewhere in the Pacific, was twelve years in Hawaii, thirteen in Mare, and fourteen in Aneiteum. Dr. Pease translated half the New Testament, and revised and published the whole in eight years after beginning to learn the Marshall language. This completes our schedule of the statistics scattered through this book. They are interwoven with the history of these missions of Oceanica, filled with incidents of toil, perils, even martyrdoms of blessed harvests of souls, and of light pouring into all dark places. It is cheering to know that after forty years of French domination, the Tahitians have in the last twelve years, bought 9,000 new Bibles. This volume bears strong testimony to the high character of most of the translations as to critical accuracy, and happy rendering of the original tongue into the native idioms. In all the versions of the Old Testament, "the sacred name Jehovah is transliterated, never translated, thus adding immeasurably to the force of the contrast between the ever living God and the objects worshipped by the heathen. The English rendering of I Kings, 18:21 is tame indeed in comparison with the Rarotongan," or the Hawaiian. "If Jehovah be God, follow him.". We are indebted to Rev. H. Bingham for the use of his copy of this valuable book, for which he furnished the author with the material for the chapters on the versions of the Bible made in the North Pacific. Catholicism Inhospitable to Truth. If a Church claims to be the alone adequate representative of the religion, and in itself sufficient for the religious needs and aspirations of man, then in the degree it has failed to be either or both its claims will be a fatal hindrance to the truthful handling alike of religion and history. As a simple matter of fact, the higher the claims of a Church the more sectional its spirit. In the very proportion that it limits to its own borders the higher truth and goodness, its judgments become less true and less just. Its fundamental doctrine is its own sufficiency for the truth, rather than the sufficiency of the truth for it and for all other societies. A. M.

Address to the Law Students, Howard University, — Virginia. How long since was it that we heard something aboet Tolstoi and the eternal nature of his fame? Last week (or was it the week before?) the Russian fad faded out with a final number about insanity. Outside the metropolitan walls, the public mind kept its balance all the time and foresaw the factitious and ephemeral influence that Tolstoi was to exert.- Maurice Thompson.. A Southern speaker told of a farmer in the Shenandoah valley, who used to hang out a Federal flag when the Yankee troops came along, and the Confederate flag when their troops came along. One day one of his neighbors went to him and said 'look here, now! What are you, anyhow ?' 'If you will tell me what troops are going to be along to-morrow' replied the trimmer, I'll tell you!' Oh! -we know all about that. What I want to know is what you are down in your heart? 'Well, neighbor,' was the reply, 'if you won't tell anybody, I'll tell you. I'm nothing nothing, and blame little of that.' There are some specimens of the same type hanging around the churches. (1) Get a good start in the morning by having time for prayer when you rise. (2) Put the word of God in the right place. Feed upon it. Make yourself a Bible and prayer union. (3) Pray for what you want. Talk the day's business over with the Lord. (4) Get a dinner-time for the soul. Don't go on from morning to night without a few minutes of spiritual retirement in the middle of the day. It is common-sense that baffles the devil. (5) End the day well. Review it and call your sins by the right name. Have straightforward dealings with the Lord. Don't confess sins you have not committed. Mark Guy Pearse. Sacerdotalism.—If our church continues to scorn gifts that do not flow down Episcopal lawn and through Episcopal fingers; if she will prefer shallowy succession to grace, learning and power; if she perseveres in her haughty exclusiveness, her future in America is plain. — — — She will alienate and forever the masculine intelligence of a free people. Her success will be more and more among the enervated rich and the superstitious poor. Spectacular displays will soon degrade her majestic liturgy, emasculate her faith, enfeeble her pulpits, and contract her influence. Having lost the spirit of the Reformation she will change her name and obliterate her Articles. From the catholicity she boasts, she will sink into the sectism of a mimic sacerdotalism and a petrifying ecclesiasticism.—f. McDowell Leavitt, D.D.

A report coming by way of Germany, had gained some currency in the States, that the Nipsic had been sunk by the Olga in the harbor of Apia. For many good reasons, this report found little credence in Honolulu. Still we were somewhat anxiously waiting to have all doubts removed. April 6th, the Alameda came, with intelligence of a disaster at Apia entirely different from the one reported, even more distressing in its outward circumstances, and perhaps equal in loss of life, yet appealing wholly to our tenderest sympathy, and devoid of all the hostile and bitter feelings which the first reported event was adapted to kindle. The news was very startling; very shockirjg. We were all filled with wonder and sorrow. The strange and painful event of the wrecking of the American and German squadrons by a hurricane in the harbor of Apia was one that came very close to the hearts of the Honolulu people from the fact that the Vandalia, which experienced the severest stress and loss of the American ships, had so recently spent more than a year in our quiet harbor, and that her officers had been peculiarly intimate in Honolulu society, and many of her warrant officers most favorably known. Captain Schoonmaker and Paymaster Arms were especially honored in our churches. It is most grievous to think of their protracted Struggle with the whelming surges, until beaten exhausted from their hold on deck, they disappeared. We had formed a special acquaintance and esteem for Lieut. Wilson, who was rescued from the Vandalia's rigging, after having been stripped by the wind of all his clothing. How glad we are that so much of a man Avas saved, though he lost all his belongings. We figure too, the noble form of Flag Lieutenant Rittenhouse, helping all day to fight the Trenton against the cyclone and along the reef, and to fire the lifelines to the Vandalia sufferers. So the Honolulu people each thought of those they had best known, and all our hearts went out towards them. It is long since so great a sensation has been created here by any event abroad. Memorial services were held during the week at the Anglican and Roman Catholic cathedrals, and at the Central Union Church. At the latter place, the floral decorations were unprecedentedly profuse. The hearts of the people and of their pastors were very deeply in the commemorations and the prayers, for our friends so ruthlessly swept away by the tempest, and for those who survived. We remembered also the sufferers of both nationalities, those whom we knew not, as well as those we know. While our English brethren shared in the common sorrow, they enjoyed a special pride in the gallant feat of their Calliope which after losing all her anchors, and so, as it were, all hope, doggedly defied the tremendous billows, and forced her mighty way in the teeth of the tempest, out into the open ocean. This was grand fighting; but no braver than the defeated battle of the weaker ships that perished. The fate of some of these was terrible. One, the Eber, was flung bodily against the reef and dashed to pieces in a moment, all on board but four, perishing. Another, the Adler, as we see in the photographs of the wrecks, lies far up on the reef, 33 NUMISKR 5. We have yet square upon her side. the story, whose but a meagre version of soon reach us more fully. details must the perishthe sense of sorrow for In Aye may not sufferers, and surviving ed interests the political forget "Very grave concerned, which cannot fail to be seriously and we trust most favorably affected by this disastrous event. Common suffering and mutual aid and sympathy must most effectually tend to allay the animosity Avhich had arisen between America and Germany, and which the reported sinking of the Nipsic was fanning into bitterness, We are very hopeful of hearing that this event has had a most favorable influence towards amicable and cordial action in the Berlin conference upon Samoa affairs. It is very remarkable how this remote and quiet little group has been forced into so conspicuous a position, and how the eyes of the world are now so effectually turned upon it by means of the most singular naval disaster qfthe period. Mrs. Mary H. Benfield. The death of this estimable lady at Berkeley, California, on the thirtieth of January last, calls for especial notice in The Friend. Mrs. Benfield had spent the most of her years among us, and for a long period as a member of FortStreet Church. She was born at Kailua in 1831, third daughter of the noble pioneer missionary, Asa Thurston. Her school education was completed at Mt. Holyoke Seminary. In her parent's life she occupied a larger part than any other of their children. It fell to her to minister to their closing years, and after her mother's death to edit and publish her autobiography. Mrs. Benfield's life was one of great and often afflictions, borne with rare Christian serenity and courage. Her repeated widowhood left her to much of the stress of poverty, but strong to bear her burdens, laboring hard in household and schoolroom. Many now in active life remember her affectionately as a teacher of their childhood. Of all Mrs. Benfield's immediate family, there survive but one sister, Mrs. Persis Taylor, and one son and daughter, to whom the departed mother's memory will be most blessed. How consoling our assured hope in the risen Redeemer, in whose welcoming bosom is rest for the ransomed soul after such heavy sorrows and toils as were experienced by our sister who has gone home. �34 Samoans as an Evangelizing People. In our last issue, we gave some account of Rev. A. W. Murray's valuable history of "The Bible in the Pacific." In reading this book, the fact of which we were already aware, became still more apparent, how extensively Samoan teachers were employed as pioneers in the evangelization of Western Oceanica. This is of peculiar interest at this time, when recent events have been placing this interesting people very conspicuously bef :e the world. The French navigator La Perouse who visited the group in 1787, described it as "one of the finest countries in the universe," while he branded the natives' as "atrocious savages, whose shores ought not to be approached." This language Avas owing to the fatal result of a skirmish, provoked by the shooting of a native for theft, in which affray Commander Dc Langle and several savants of La Perouse's expedition lost their lives. The truth is, Mr. Murray says, that whole they were heathens of a milder type than those found on any other group or island of Polynesia." Cannibalism and human sacrifices were unknown; the children were loved and cherished; the aged were respected and reverenced; the sick, as a general rule, carefully tended; the women were almost, if not quite, on an equality with men. From other sources we learn that domestic and social purity are carefully regarded. As a consequence the population is slowly increasing. In 1843 it was estimated at 33,900, in 187(>, at 35,181. It is believed to be noAV still "on the larger. The gospel Avas first carried to Samoa from Tahiti by Messrs. Williams and BarlT, in 1830. Mr. Murray landed there in 1838. The Avhole Bible was first printed in 1855, and in the year I**7 alone, 1023 Bibles were sold among the native Protestant population of 30,000 souls. The record of the landing of Samoan teachers and their labors on distant islands is a very remarkable one. These recent converts to Christ, full of zeal and devotion for their Lord who had saved them and filled them with light, went far and wide as pioneers of that new light and life,' among the savage and degraded tribes, where a white man could scarcely live at all. It is difficult to see how, without the preparatory labors of these simple and devoted Samoan Christians, the gospel could have been successfully introduced, or white men have found a foothold at all among some of the fearfully debased tribes of Melanesia. The earliest landing of Samoan teachers which is recorded in this book was at Rotuma in November, 1839, where Rev. Joseph Waterhouse began to labor fifteen years later. A few days later, November 18, others were landed THE FRIEND. at Tanna in the New Hebrides, conduct- ed there by Rev. John Williams. It was on the very next day that he met his death by savage hands on the neighboring island of Eramanga. It was nineteen years before white missionaries obtained strong foothold upon Tanna, while some of the Samoan teachers had been slain by the heathen. At Niua in the New Hebrides Samoans were placed in 1810; at Aneiteum and Fotuna in 1841; at Fate or Sandwich I. in 1845; and at Mare in the Loyalty group in 1841. To Niue, south of the Fijis, they carried the gospel in 1849. The waste of life was great among these devoted people; but the places of the departed were bravely and eagerly filled, and the ranks of the teachers well reinforced from the training school in Samoa. The Samoans thus stand before us as a people who have besn peculiarly active and fearless in furthering the Gospel of our Lord and Redeemer. We believe that He rules over the affairs of the world. We believe that the enterprise of enlightening and converting the nations to Him is the enterprise which is dearest to His heart. We believe that He is steadily carrying on the war against Satan's kingdom of darkness and idolatry, and carrying it forward to victory, by the means and services of all who love to work in this warfare. Those who are thus engaged, we must also believe, are especially dear to the Head of the Kingdom, and the Captain of the host. In accordance Avith this view, we cannot be surprised to find that He exerts a peculiar protection over those peoples and tribes who are forward to receive and cherish the gospel, and especially over those who are active in carrying the gospel to others. Nowhere has this fact been more marked than in the manner in which the independence, autonomy, and secular prosperity of the Hawaiian kingdom has been promoted and maintained. The Samoans have been lately undergoing a fierce struggle, and enduring the severest aggression from the most formidable of military powers. Recent events indicate that the tempest of war and conquest is about to pass them by, leaving them in the enjoyment of freedom and autonomy. Is it a vain imagination, if we surmise that the Great Protector of His people has been especially at work for the Samoans, or entertain a strong expectation, that they will be brought out of their troubles into "a large place" of honor and wellbeing ? It is certainly premature to indulge in fancied interpretations of the marvellous ways of Divine Providence, but we must watch the outcome of events with the deepest interest. In connection with the late disaster to the naval forces at Apia, it is of peculiar interest to learn that the Samoan forces arrayed against the Germans, laid aside their warfare, and applied themselves to [May, 1889. the work of humanity in relieving the distresses of their foes and their allies alike. Such Christian conduct must win them a kindly regard from all parties, which will go far to aid in the removal of their difficulties. Native Testimony to the Prevalence ofIdolatry. We are permitted to print the following extracts from a letter of one of the best of the native school teachers to Miss Mary Green. After making some favorable statements about Temperance Avork among the people of his district, he adds: "There is a very great amount of idolatry and wickedness in this nation, a nation that has been consecrated to Jehovah, but which has strayed from the path of right. I declare to you, that among some of the parents of these children, (his scholars) there is great Avorshipping of idols. Myself and a trusted friend are in the habit of going among the sick, and through the truth of God's word in our mouths, we now have in our hands certain things of worshi' ':>r means of sorcery, mea hooiiiannin it) which have been consecrated to the gods of the old time. Where then are the men who have the courage to go forth and overturn the old superstitions of Hawaii nei ? From Hawaii to Kauai this nation is densely enshrouded in these abominations. The ministers are very fearful about going out to resist these things, lest they die by the power of these sorcery gods. Are such ministers real Christians? I declare to you, my dear friend in the Lord, that out of one hundred church members there are ten who do not serve other gods, and ninety who do worship them. If the Deplorable are the evil results. people were properly instructed, they Avould see the evil of it. Are there not some men to be found, free from superstition, and valiant for Jehovah, to go forth and overthrow the ancient superstitions in Hawaii ? I assert there are such men, and these are their names (naming three native ministers and a layman). Many of them, I fear are prone to go backward when Satan tries them, being sometimes orL the Lord's side and sometimes on the Devil's. There is no good in serving two masters. The work of our church and the pastor is going on well." It is truly encouraging to be assured that ten percent, of the church members are free from any tampering with superstitious practices. It is not to be assumed that there is no genuine piety among the rest. We are sure that there is much love of the Lord, but that they do not realize the sin of idolatry to which their fears incite them.

The fact has not unfrequently been reported to us, of certain Hawaiian pastors permitting the employment of kahunas with their enchantments for sick members of their families, and even of such a pastor himself being attended in his last sickness by a kahuna with his idolatrous arts. These are not disheartening facts; they merely indicate the continued necessity for much influence and care to be still expended upon our immature Hawaiian churches "and their pastors by those churches which first gave them the gospel. The needed agencies for this care are, we trust, soon to be actively at work. — �36 [May, 1889. THE FRIEND. Our Lord's Second Coming This grand event must remain shrouded in much mystery, until its prophecy is fulfilled. It is the topic of the International Sunday School lessons for last Sunday and next Sunday. Dr. Peloubet's commentaries on previous lessons we have found reliable and rich in suggestion. We regret in these lessons to find him adopting in explanation the clumsy expedient of a "threefold coming" of the Lord. One of these comings (only metaphorical) he supposes to have been at the destruction of Jerusalem. But our Lord expressly warned his disci pies against supposing that he would come at that time; Mark 13: 5, 6; Matt. 24: 23-28. He emphatically declares, in the 28th verse, that his coming, when it takes place, will be universally conspicuous. It seems most clear that nothing short of a visible, personal coming in indescribable majesty and glory is meant. Compare 2 Thess. 2: 8, "the brightnets of his coming." To talk of "spiritual" comings is a cheap and very misleading expedient for solving supposed posing that these "things", and "that day and hour", refer to the same event. It is indeed only by admitting the force of this antithesis, which is so plain in the Greek, and by so not confounding and mixing up the two distinct subjects, that any one can make sense out of this passage, otherwise you make our Lord strictly define the date of the predicted event as in "this generation", and in his next breath declare that no being but God knows when it will happen ! Christ's disciples asked him two distinct questions. 1. When shall these things be? i.e., the destruction of Jerusalem of which he had been warning them. 2. What was the time of his coming, and of the end of the aeon ? He gave them two distinct answers. The first event would come in that generation as it did. Nothing there about his own coming. Then, after a solemn pause, he replies to the second question, that the time of his own glorious Advent was unknown to men or angels. The one was close at hand; the other in the future. our Lord's preceding statements, In difficulties. his references to the one event and to So Dr. Peloubet blunders on about the other are somewhat alternated; but Christ, to another "spiritual coming" o£ usher in the millenium. His final coming at the end of time and the general judgment, he allows to be a visible one. Thfe truth is, our Lord predicts only one Coming, and that so grand as to be undoubted and unmistakeable, confounding all His enemies. All attempts to make out several comings or "spiritual" comings seem to us a gross perversion of Christ's words, and a beclouding of the Avhole subject. Of course we have no space for extended discussion of this great subject, on which so many books have been written. Our immediate object is to point out to our Sunday School teachers, what have long seemed to us key-words in these chapters. They are found in Matt. 24: 34, 36, and in Mark 13: 30, 32, being alike in both records. They are the antithetical Avords "These" "that." "These things," i.e. the destruction of the Holy City, shall occur in "this generation." "But of that day and that hour," his second Coming, "knoweth no m.ni. This antithesis is peculiarly strong in the Greek, "tauta remote it is quite easy to distinguish what words relate to each of the two events, if you do not let the commentators confuse you. Each class of statements will be seen to be appropriate to its own subject, and the whole will crystallize into clearness as you dwell upon it. Let us, above all, beware how we belittle or becloud that supreme event of our Lord's Second Coming, which awaits the church, and which He and his apostles held up in such glory of expectation. Central Union Church—A large Addition to the Membership. The quarterly Communion of the Lord's Supper was observed in this church on the 14th of April. The sea- son was made memorable by an accession to the membership of fifty-eight persons—twelve by letter, and forty-six on profession. The propounded candidates occupied front seats clear across the church. A majority were youth and children of church families. It was a deeply touching scene and moment as they all stood and took upon them their happy and sacred vows to the Lord's service, and as the pastor in the name of the church moved among them and gave to each the right hand of fellowekeines". ship, pronouncing Bible words of blessall the supposed difficulties of ing and Nearly exhortation.

These, however, had made as clear, earnest and apparently intelligent statement of faith, love and purpose as had some youth much older. Being children of devout and faithful parents, who will watch and guide them, we do not anticipate in them less persistence in piety than in the others. Our pastor, in whose wisdom and discernment we have great confidence, was earnestly in favor of the course taken. It is from the trained children of Christian homes that a large proportion of the best developed character in the church must be looked for, although in His grace, the Lord converts and rears up many able and holy men and women from nonreligious families. Happy are the churches and the pastors who bring in abundant fruit both from within and from without the church fold. The house was crowded on this occassion. It was an interesting circumstance that one of the Deacons landed from the steamer with his wife just in time to witness the public profession of Christ by two of their daughters. From each of five families two children came together. May it be granted to this favored church that such happy harvestdays shall recur again and again, each successive accession pressing forward as the years go on, to higher, purer, wiser and holier Christian attainments than those who preceded them. So do the churches truly grow and move forward toAvards the "perfect man in Christ Jesus." Kauai Association. The Kauai Association met at Waimea Wednesday, April 24th, continuing its sessions through Thursday and Friday. There was a full attendance of pastors and delegates. Rev. J. B. Hanaike, of Lihue, was chosen Moderator, and S. K. Oili, of Anahola, Scribe. The reports from the different parishes presented a more encouraging state of affairs than could have been given a year ago. At Waimea, G. Lilikalani Kopa, who graduated from the N. P. M. I. last year, has had the confidence and respect of the people in his endeavors to carry on evangelistic work in that community. Mr. C. B. Hofgaard has raised money enough to shingle the old stone church, though it needs some more money to put it in order for occupancy. The old Whitney house has been torn down, the stones sold to the sugar mill, and the proceeds put aside towards the building of a new parsonage whenever it may be needed. Mr. Hofgaard has shown great interest in the educational, religious, and business prosperity of the community, and has acted as Assistant Sunday School Superintendent the past year. All speak well of S. Ekaula, who, since the death of Rev. G. B. Rowell, has been the main reliance in sustaining Christian work and worship.

The remark was made in a previous number, that the native HaAvaiian is no plebeian —he has a sense of the dignities. This is seen in his appreciation of the titles and honors of office and of social position; these mean much to him. It is the man in power whom he will follow. He has no head for abstract ideas. He takes things in the concrete. His is a world of realities (shall we say of materialities ?) rather than of ideals. From this it follows that the man of acknowledged position is at a great advantage in working with natives. The successful merchant, the winning lawyer, the sagacious judge, the magnetic chicf—these speak the word of power in morals and religion as well as in politics. Gentlemen, you who hold the places of influence—you who bear the dignities, you bear also a deal of responsibility touching things spiritual—you fairly share our work. None can do finer things than you. No personalities arc clothed with a fairer prestige than are yours. And we are glad to know that there are those among us who understand these things, and who, in their honest way are trying to use their influence for God. There is no doubt but that it is every one's duty to do this. It was one of the pleasant discoveries which Aye lately made in a tour round Hawaii to find that Christian workers had been before us; and there, left behind them on the way, were the comely fruits of their service. The beneficent results of the late temperance work were seen everywhere. While talking one day to my guide, he pulled out from his breast pocket a carefully kept pledge, and said he, "though I am at fault in many things, I have been true to that pledge." His peculiar appreciation of titles and of dignities makes the native pastor jealous of his prerogative. He is especially grateful to the Avhite man who recognizes it. He is generous, he is glad to share his work with his white brother, but he will not be supplanted. Can we not see in this a good ? It is an indication of stability. The native pastorate has taken root. The Hawaiian preacher feels himself to be a part of the religious institution, and let the white brother take his proper place in the same, and he will be met with a warm welcome. The man who is to work alongside of the native pastor and win his confidence and friendship must prove his right to be there by a well authorized work of his own. The native pastor when he gets started, makes a good evangelist. No man can supersede him in this work. It is his as the pastorate is his. As a companion on a tour he is invaluable. It enlivens him to visit other fields and to be visited in turn. One of the lacks of the native pastorate is of just this visitation carried on between parishes, of the keeping up of connection between posts. Does it come of laziness ? sometimes. But we would prefer to refer it often to a morbid sensitiveness. The elderly man will not visit his spruce new coming neighbor, because he shrinks from a possibly unfavorable comparison; and the younger man naturally waits for all advances to be made by his senior. There are other causes afield which operate to keep our native pastors apart in their work, and in overcoming which the kindly assistance of the white brother may be simply invaluable. The right kind of a man could help his Hawaiian brother greatly betimes in the matter of parish visitation. He alone and by himself cannot go freely from house to house. Custom is against it. Gossip will not permit it. Let them go two by two as the Master sent the first disciples, and rumor is disarmed. was found to The good brother at be in a strait. He was a young man his wife had a little babe she could not leave. The deacons were busy,— and the good mothers in Israel were gone— He was really what could he do ? troubled. There the parish was, it was in sore need of visitation, but he dare not go through it alone and unattended. There is room somewhere here for new adjustments. — The Hawaii Association and Circuit. The Hawaii Association met this year Helani. The meeting began at 10 a. m., Tuesday, March 6th, and continued till Saturday forenoon. Rev. W. M. Kalaiwaa, pastor of the entertaining church was chosen moderator. The attendance was good and the work done Avas satisfactory (save with a single at reservation). The pastors dined together faring sumptuously every day. The Delegates Avere by themselves. Between work the hours by the sea passed restfully and friendships were made that shall be lasting. The loav arid belt of Kona shore is tempered on one side by the sea, and on the other by the hills. The night air was perfect. The morning bath in the rocky, salty hollows was never forgotten. At one's feet were the lapping waves, and at one's back the gushing rills of subterranean water rising out of the volcanic rock. Into this soft tempered, commingled tide it was' luxury to take a dip. No wonder kings and queens and regretted chiefs did in the past resort to those shores more restful resorts cannot be found. Kailua, a few miles to the north is sitll the resort of royalty. At Keauhou, a few miles to the south one looks with respect and tenderness upon the spot — where Kauikeaouli was born. The rock is still shown which the royal mother grasped in her birth pains. We regret the loss which Kona sustains in the moving of the Rev. J. D. Paris and family (father and son) to Makawao. For many years this father of missions did go up and down that rocky coast, doing his work now done. At one time the building of churches and chapels was the order of the day. There they now stand, the conspicuous and eloquent monuments of a work which is past. The Rev. Mr. Burt has resigned the charge of the Boy's Boarding School at Hilo; the resignation to take effect either at the end of this school year, or of next as the trustees may elect. Can we afford to lose such a capable worker? The present condition of the school is good. All through the Hamakuas and in Kohala, one sees prosperity, and the traveler goes on his way rejoicing, glad that the Government has at last taken hold of the road question, and made journeying there easy. Better roads than those in Kohala cannot be found. But in southern and eastern Hawaii the long suffering traveller Avearies of patience, and almost comes to disbelieve in it as a virtue. So far the sugar planters have commanded the attention and the ranch men suffer. A more horrible road than that leading out from Hilo into the district of Puna cannot be found; and yet it passes through those charming Panaewa forests, made famous in Hawaiian song. Were there but a decent roadway no tourist could afford to fail of seeing them. As it is now, they are simply inaccessible to the ordinary traveller. The Rev. Stephen Desha of Kona has accepted the call to the Haili church, Hilo. His work there is to begin with May. The good people of Hilo showed considerable enthusiasm in the reception they gave him on the occasion of his late visit. A very respectable and commodious parsonage has been built for him. The Rev Mr. and Mrs. Westervelt are expected to be Avith us early in May. They come with years of experience from a Colorado field. The precise location of their future work is not yet fixed. It may be best for them to stay in Honolulu till after the Annual meeting of the Board, when they will probably be settled some where on the island of Hawaii or on Maui. Mr. Walkup and family when last heard from were in San P'rancisco. The post office address of the Treibers is Carlisle, Eaton Co., Michigan. The meeting of the Kauai Association occured last Aveek at Waimea. Dr. Hyde attended it. The meeting of the Maui Association holds this week at Waihee. �THE FRIEND 40 T. M. €. A. THEHONOLULU, H. I.

The evening of the adjourned meeting proved to be a pleasant one and a good number of members and friends were in attendance. Mr. W. W. Hall, the retiring President was in the chair. The exercises opened with Gospel Hymn No. 14. Appropriate scripture was read by Rev. W. C. Merritt and prayer was offered by Rev. E. G. Beckwith. The monotony of the following reports was pleasantly relieved with a solo by Mr. Levi Lyman and a duet by Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Townsend, both of which were finely rendered and well received by the audience. Report of the Devotional Committee. below; hoping thereby to reach some young men who never attend the mixed meetings; this experiment for some reason was a failure, and after one month's trial with numbers reduced to 16, a return was made to this hall again with a cordial invitation to all to attend. The change resulted in an immediate increase in the number of persons in attendance and greater interest, and it is to be hoped that the renewed interest will be permanent, and but the beginning of better times. Efforts have been made to secure the services of an Evangelist from abroad, and one time it was thought Mr. Moody would come to us for a month, but his engagements prevented, and we had no more success in other quarters. We have been, and are thus left to our own resources; and it may be to teach us to trust more in our Heavenly P'ather, and in His power to work through the means we possess among ourselves. When we consider the voting membership of this Association, numbering here in Honolulu, about 80, every one of which should be an active working member, this thought comes to us; what a grand working force for the Master is here, if every one of these 80 hearts was wholly filled with the Holy Spirit, what results might not be certainly expected, if each one felt as he should a personal responsibility in the accomplishment of all possible. In union there is strength, and if this year our members will but pledge themselves heartily to the Lord and to His work in our midst, another year's report from your Devotional Committee will be far more encouraging, and for this we heartily pray. Respectfully submitted, J. B. Atherton, Chairman. The Devotional Committee of this Report of the Temperance Committee. Association beg leave to report as follows: The work done in this department of The work of your Committee the past the Association during the past year has year has been cofined to the "Blue Ribnot produced the results hoped or wish- bon League," and meetings for men only, ed for at the beginning. Your com- held in one of the unoccupied stores in mittee, however, believe that some good has been accomplished and soulsblessed. The main efforts of the committee have been devoted to sustaining the Sabbath evening devotional services in this hall, and they have been carried through without failure during the year. These meetings have been conducted from week to week by the different members of the committee or by others secured for the purpose, and they have been attended by both sexes, except for a period of one month, when meetings were held for young men only. During the early part of the year the average attendance was about 58, but during the summer months the numbers fell off to an average of about 30. At this time, your committee in considering the out look for the future, decided to make a trial of holding meetings for men only in the class room Brewer's block, Hotel street. The latter meetings were organized about six months ago, and the plan has been to have a blue ribbon entertainment one Saturday evening at the Y.M. C. A. hall, alternating with the men's meeting every other Saturday. It seems to the chairman of your Committee that the blue ribbon entertainments have accomplished all that can be done for the present, and that it has outlived its usefulness as at present conducted. These meetings or entertainments were started over two years ago for the express purpose of providing a good, clean entertainment as -an offset to the saloons, and they have all been first class in every respect, but still they have not been appreciated as they should have been At one of these entertainments last fall, where about one hundred were present, there was but [May, 1889. one person in the audience who had not signed the pledge. Many of the members of the league have not assisted even by their presence, and it appears to be the case that not only members of the league hut members of this association feel no responsibility whatever, being satisfied that the Committee alone should carry on the work, which is the most discouraging part of the work. At the first meeting for men only, there were about forty persons present, and the outlook was very encouraging as there were many present for Avhom the meetings were intended, but it soon proved that they were only attracted by the novelty and the meetings soon fell off in numbers and although free ice-cream soda was offered as an additional attraction the meetings have dwindled down to as low as thirteen out of which number not less than four were speakers for the evening. Those meetings Avere started because it Avas reported that there were many in town, who would not go into the Y. M. C. A. hall, and it was thought that by having meetings in a place where there were no religious surroundings, many of these men would be induced to come, but they have proved a failure in this respect notAvithstanding special efforts have been made to make them as informal as possible, and invitations have been given to speak on the subject of temperance, even if they did not agree with our views on that subject. While this report is not as encouraging as your chairman could wish, it must not be understood that no good has been accomplished, for there are those who have been helped, and many have signed the pledge, some of whom have been , led to a better life. What is needed in this department of the work is that members feel their responsibility, and not only be present themselves, but bring in others who need our help, support and sympathy. Unless this is done it is useless to attempt to carry on this work successfully. New methods should be proposed and adopted for carrying on the *vork. Gospel temperance meetings should be frequently held. A revival of true religion is much needed in this association to stimulate Christians to more earnest efforts in this Avork which has become such a vital question in England and the United States. Let us hope and pray that the new year upon which we enter to-night may be a year of activity in the temperance cause, and that every member of this association may feel a personal responsibility in carrying on this work, and not leave it to a few to battle with this giant evil. Let us not be discouraged but earnestly enter upon the work, remembering the promise—"that in due time we shall reap if we faint not." Respectfully submitted. P. C. Jones, Chairman. �Volume 47, No. 5.] Report of Hawaiian Branch. The Committee on the Hawaiian branch of the work conducted at Queen Emma Hall respectfully report that the Hall has been usefully employed during the past year as follows: The Hawaiian Blue Ribbon League has met there regularly every Friday evening. The meetings are well attended and great interest is shown by the people. There have been admitted to membership, by taking the pledge of total abstinence, since the Society's organization three years ago, some 1,700 persons. An interesting feature of these meetings is the reports of the Standing Committee, who report their experiences and what they have observed as regards temperance during the week. We have also frequent visitors from the other islands who address the meetings and have sent several delegates to other districts who have aroused considerable interest on this matter of vital importance. Dr. Hyde has held a religious meeting at 3 p.m. on Sundays for English-speaking Hawaiians with an average attendance of about 20. The lower story of the Hall is used in which to teach the Portuguese evening school, under the supervision of Mr. Dillingham. The Japanese use the building for a weekly singing school and an English night school and for the meetings of their Y. M. C. A. Miss Green has met Hawaiian women at the Hall on Mondays for sewing and conversation, and on Thursdays she has met the Band of Hope, a Temperance Society organized among Hawaiian children. On the whole the Committee feel that the large expenditure for rent and care of premises which has devolved upon our Association is wise and beneficent, aad that it would be a serious injury to the morals and well-being of the Hawaiians and others if this branch of our work should be given up.

The rapid flight of time has added one more year to the record of the past, and to-night we met to observe the twentieth anniversary of the Honolulu Young Men's Christian Association. To reach young men, to encourage and help them to higher living, and bring them into harmony and communion with God, is the well understood object of this and all kindred Associations; but how to accomplish most successfully this much needed work is a question that is engaging many of the 3573 35 II best Christian minds of this age.

In carrying out these plans a strange medley of helps and hindrances are sure to be encountered, and nearly every Secretary comes to regard his particular locality as "a very peculiar field." In some respects this is unquestionably true of Honolulu. The Associations in America are giving great prominence to the physical departments of their work as an attractive agency by which they win thousands of young men from a class they could reach in no other way. There the climate is favorable to vigorous exercise and compels young men to seek indoor shelter during half the year. But here in Honolulu conditions are reversed, our delightful climate and tropical environments allure young and old to outdoor life through the entire year, and makes vigorous exercise as a pastime or for the improvement of health a thing not to be tolerated, as the failure of repeated efforts to sustain a gymnasium abundantly proves. While this line of work may not be open to us, others quite as important are opening on every side, inviting earnest hearts and ready hands to fruitful service. During the year we have received sixteen new members, eleven of whom were voting members, but from change of residence and other causes we have lost more than twice that number,' so our present membership does not exceed one hundred and sixty. The interest in our religious meetings has been fairly good, but a deeper spirituality would have given more definite results. On two occasions efforts to secure evangelistic aid from the States failed, and the expected help and quickening are still deferred. The special meetings held during the day and week of prayer for Associations were the best of the entire year. A collection of $26 was taken for the work of the International Committee. The Secretary's Sunday morning Bible class, which was discontinued at the Rooms, is now held in the audience room of the Central Union Church at the same hour (10 a.m.), with a varying attendance of about ten young men. �[May, 1889. THE FRIEND. 42 While our temperance work has been nothing to what the case demanded, it has been enough to keep up on open and standing protest .against the growing curse of strong drink, and we have been able to save a few victims from its power. The temperance work among the natives seems to have been more encouraging during the past year than among the white foreigners. Two pleasant receptions to sailors have been given in our hall, one by the W. C. T. U., and the other by Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Walker. Three Practical Talks" to young men have been given by local professional gentlemen with gratifying success. During the brief stay of Prof. Dickinson the Entertainment Committee arranged for two of his finely illustrated lectures, which were well received and with financial profit. On October 30th a very enjoyable reception was given Mr. C. M. Cooke on his return from Stockholm, where he was our first delegate to a World's Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association. A class that opened in October with sixteen young men has received two courses of instruction in vocal music from the excellent musical instructor of Oahu College, Mr. A. D. Bissell. Monday evening is still devoted to instruction in Book-keeping, through the kindness of Mr. P. C. Jones, who has taught two classes on that evening for nearly the whole year. Visitation of the shipping in the harbor has not been so systematic as it ought to have been, but considerable has been done in distributing a variety of reading matter, talking with the men, and inviting them to the Association Rooms and to the Church, where, in many instances, they have afterward been seen and welcomed. The hospital has been regularly visited by some faithful committee men, who have, by word and deed, carried cheer to the hearts of the sick and lonely ones, many of whom were far from home and friends. Numerous calls for employment have been received, but we have been able to find situations for only about a dozen. The Association has had eight business meetings, with a total attendance of 144. There have been eight meetings of the Board of Directors with a total attendance of 39. This institution, with its pleasant rooms, has been a welcome and beneficial resort to a large number of worthy young men, many of whom were strangers in the city. The average daily attendance has been about forty. The Reading Room has been furnished with one additional table, and now contains the following number of periodicals: 2 daily papers, 38 weeklies, 4 monthlies, and 6 monthly magazines, a total of 50; two of which are Portuguese, two are Swedish and two are German, The illustrated papers, after being used here, are taken over to Queen Emma Hall, " where they do excellent service for the natives. Several bound books have been received from friends for the reading room, and a large number of papers and magazines have been donated for distribution. 3,780 papers and 540 magazines have been given away during the year. Under the earnest and skillful management of Mrs. B. F. Dillingham the Y. M. C. A. boys have had a thoroughly successful year. The "Talks" provided have been varied and practical, containing wholesome lessons that will not be easily forgotten. The report of the Queen Emma Hall Branch you have heard. The financial burden of that work has been rather heavy during the past year, but those of us who have been personally identified with the work feel that it has been money and effort well expended. We hope to lighten the burden this year by increasing the number of hands that will help to bear it. In closing, I desire to thank the Press of the city for their courtesy and kindly notices of our work. Also, all the friends who, by their sympathy, universal kindness and co-operation, have in so many ways contributed to help on the work of this Association during the past year. To-night we stand on the dividing line, between the old and the new. For the service of the coming year, as young men interested in the salvation of young men, how many of us will try, with the Master's help, to dc our best? " Who is on the Lord's side ? Who will serve the King? Who will be His helpers? Other lives to bring?" Respectfully submitted, S. D. Fuller, General Secretary. Address of President. It was in the summer of 1871, at the close of the French and German war, that Robert W. McAll, a Scotch minister with his wife, was taking a little rest from work at home, and viewing the consequences of the recent battles as seen in the city of Paris. Their hearts were "saddened by the havoc of the war, they were deeply moved also by the hopeless spiritual condition which they saw. Before leaving the city they desired to see Belleville, the home of the Communists, where the terrible scenes of the uprising had taken place." Knowing that the best way of seeing the people of FYance, and especially of Paris, is to meet them in their Cafe's, they sought one of these resorts, the grand Hotel of La Vielleuse, on the boulevard of Belleville. It was ten o'clock at night on Friday, August 18, and they were to leave for their home in England the next morning. Mrs. McAll entered and asked permission of the proprietor to distribute a few tracts to his guests, while her husband remained at the door to speak to those going out and in. The request was as politely granted as it was made. As Mrs. McAll was retiring from the room, several who had not received her leaflets, ascertaining what they were rose from their seats and their wine and followed her to the door, asking that they too might be supplied. At the door she found her husband surrounded by a large company of working men in their blue and white blouses and engaged in earnest conversation. One of these, speaking for the rest said: "Sir, are you not an Englishman ? Are you not a minister?" and then added with all earnestness, "You think, sir, that we are infidels, and that we do not care for religion. We do care, sir; but we will not have an imposed religion. If any one will come among us teaching a religion, not of hierarchy and superstition, but of reality and earnestness and liberty, very many of us are ready to listen." Mr. McAll says in a recent letter, "we might have gone to the same spot a thousand times without meeting that man, whom we never recognized before or since. The moment, the coincidence, all the circumstances, irresistibly proclaim on the review, 'the finger of God.' " From an historical sketch by John R. Whitney I take the following: "If ever there was a work which showed the power and presence of God overruling the designs of men for the accomplishment of His own purpose, it is in the opening of papal France and Italy to evangelical truth." "It is now evident that by all the fiery trials of those terrible days God was preparing the soil for the reception of the seed, "which is the word of God;" and when the soil was prepared, then He sent forth the Sower to sow. Without such an upturning, a work like that of Mr. McAll could hardly have been possible; with it, it was at once possible. Let us look at the order and connection of these events that we may more clearly see the hand of God in them : ORDER OF EVENTS. July 13, 1870—The dogma of papal infallibility Avas decried. 15th—War was declared by Napoleon against Prussia. 18th—The dogma of papal infallibility was declared. 25th—The French troops were ordered to be withdrawn from Rome. August Ist—The last of the French soldiers were leaving Rome. (Then the Italians rose as one man and declared that the temporal power of the Pope should cease and Rome be the capital of United Italy.) Sept. 2nd—Napoleon was defeated at Sedan. 4th—The Republic was decreed in France. �THE FRIEND. 12th—Victor Emmanuel and the Bible entered Rome. Oct. Ist Victor Emmanuel was chosen king. Thus it was only fifty-three days from the decree of the dogma of papal infallibility to the setting up of the Republic, and only sixty-nine days to the overthrow of the temporal power of the Pope. In the spring of 1871 the uprising of the Communists took place in Paris. Early in May, 1871,it reached its height. Archbishop Darboy Avas shot, theTuileries, Hotel dc Ville and other public buildings were burnt. May 29th—The insurrection was put down. August 18th—Mr. and Mrs. McAll visited Paris. (A little over one year from the decree of papal infallibility and within one year from the overthrow of the Empire.) Nov. 1871, they removed from England to Paris. Jan. 1872, the first station was opened. (Now there are over forty stations in Paris, and over one hundred and twenty-five in France. It would be impossible, in a paper like this to give more than a mere outline of the methods in which this work is carried on, or the various sources from which it draws its support. The first meeting was held in November 1871, in a hall, formerly a shop, near the present Belleville Station. A few chairs, a plain desk, a harmonium, and a few paper texts Avere the simple furnishings. Printed hymns were distributed; the hymns were sung, scripture was read, and some earnest words spoken, a short prayer offered, and that was all. Outside, a simple sign with the inscription "To the working-men: Moral meetings, free entrance." Year after year neAV halls were opened, fresh sympathies awakened, and reliable sources of income secured. In a sketch by Rev. M. Saillens, one of Mr. McAlls most efficient workers, I find the following: "The work has retained the same simplicity which marked its beginning." Most of the halls or salles are larger, but they are mostly shops, and everything about them is marked by a total absence of ornament. The same lively hymns are sung, the same elementary preaching goes on; Christ and Him crucified. And it is most remarkable that, although the meet-places are open in some cases every night, and at least two or three times a week, the people are never tired of coming to them. Some of them, the rue dc Rivoli station for instance, are crowded daily. New comers incessantly mixed themselves in the set of regular attendants which may be found in every station, and thus it may be said that this Mission has formed as many churches as it has stations in France. Yet these are not churches, in the regular sense of the word, for the — great principle upon which this mission is built is, Catholicity. All the Christian communities help us, and we help them. All evangelical pastors now consider it an honor to stand upon our platforms, and to witness along with us the truth of the Gospel. Many are those that have been added to the Protestant churches of France through the working of the mission." There are to-day in France over one hundred and twenty-five Halls. The attendance in them all, for the last year only, has been over one million people. Twelve thousand meetings have been held, and hundreds, perhaps thousands of souls have been added to the true church of the Lord Jesus Christ; through faith in His atoning-blood. The Halls or Salles as opened in the various stations in Paris and other cities in V ranee are named, many of them, for cities in other lands. For instance, the Salle-Boston is supported by the McAll association established in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and other cities in the States. In some instances they have been named for individuals who have been prominent in the work. The Salle Beach was named for the late lamented Miss Elizabeth Beach, who, besides her faithful labors in connection with the work in Paris, was instrumental in creating a deep interest in the McAll mission throughout the United States, which led to the establishing of branch associations in many of the American cities. The total receipts of the McAll mission from all sources in 1886 were $74,--770, but since then the interest in this great Avork has very much increased abroad, and the receipts during the past year cannot be far from $100,000. The Salle Beach was inaugurated on January 15, 1885, near the Arc dc Triomphe. In this hall a variety of Missionary work is carried on. "Here on every Sunday, Tuesday and Friday, are held those popular gospel services, through which the work of the McAll mission has so admirably found the way to the hearts of the workingmen of Paris. Here on Sunday and Thursday afternoons the children of the Faubourg are gathered together for religious instruction. Here also on Sunday afternoons a young Avomen's class and Bible reading union meets for study. The poor mothers of the district gather here on Monday afternoons for work and religious instructions, and a comfortable cup of tea. And here on Tuesday and Saturday mornings is held a free Dispensary with a doctor in attendance, a religious service of song and instruction being held for the benefit of the waiting patients, by another member of the mission staff." One of the most efficient workers in the Belleville district is Miss dc Broen, who with her staff of ten or twelve lady assistants has for many years been do- ing a wonderful work, particularly among the women and children, by means of visiting them in their homes, by furnishing them work, by training of orphans, &c. She herself was instrumental in inducing Mr. McAll to come, and gave him a hearty Avelcome. While perfectly harmonious, they are distinct missions. Thus has this wonderful work of education and evangelization been going on in France for seventeen years; in many respects the most remarkable and successful mission work accomplished during this century. If these people had waited for the French Protestants to take hold of them, the work would never have been accomplished. French Protestantism is not aggressive; perhaps centuries of persecution, and even worse of disdainful neglect, have crushed its spirit. Even the Catholic church had, for years, given up this quarter of Paris as irreclaimably infidel, and would have nothing to do with it, so these earnest workers have free scope. The president and workers of the Y. M. C. A. of Paris heartily endorse the McAll mission and its methods, and have found it a wonderful help and inspiration in their own work. What an inspiration it would be to the Y. M. C. A. of Honolulu, to have an infusion of the spirit of those earnest workers in the McAll mission among our own members. It is the continuous hand to hand Avork, the contact of heart with heart, that, through the blessing of God, lifts men into a better and purer life. If we could catch some of this earnest spirit, and being ourselves quickened, go out among the young men and strangers among us, the leven would soon spread and influence the whole of this community. We have tried in various ways to procure the help of evangelists from abroad to help and quicken our spiritual life, but have thus far failed, and we are noAv shut up to our own resources and to God. Let us through prayer lay hold of the arm that moves the world, and by our earnest efforts strive to bring the blessed spiritual showers that can make this dry and barren field bud and bloom as the rose. At this point Mr. Hall introduced Hon. Henry Waterhouse, the Presidentelect, Avho was received with enthusiastic applause. Mr. Waterhouse said they might think he was going to thank them for the honor of electing him President, but he was not going to do it. He wasn't going to make a speech, but he was going to work, and he wanted the help of all the young men and also the young ladies during the year that he would hold office. At the close of his brief but earnest remarks he announced the following standing committees, �THE FRIEND. Nor can you take the divinity out of T D.
