The death of this venerable Christian man removes one of the best known old landmarks in our churches. For a long period until resignation on account of the infirmities of age, Mr. Thrum was one ofthe Deacons ofthe Bethel Church, greatly beloved and esteemed. After the establishment of the Sailor's Home, Mr. and -Mrs. Thrum were for many years its managers, and made it a success. Father and Mother Thrum thus became widely and kindly known to the wandering mariners of all the oceans, and by their simple, warm-hearted piety helped to win many of them to Christ. "Thomas Augustine Thrum born in London, England, November 17, 1811, and died May 5, 1889, in his seventy-eighth year. By trade a boatbuilder and shipwright, as was his father, he emigrated with his parents to New South Wales in 1838 or 1839, and soon after married Elizabeth Wharton McPhail, whose noble life ended only two years since. He arrived in Honolulu in 1851. His life among us has been one of laborious and.patient industry, and of devout and faithful Christian piety. He has rendered most useful and excellent service in Christian work. He will be especially remembered for his warm and earnest prayers and exhortations, which always had the savor of the genuine love and ardor of a true Christian heart. Those who heard Deacon Thrum pray always felt that here was one of the Lord's true disciples, loving and beloved of his Savior. Mr. Thrum is mourned by a large family of children and grandchildren. Among the best known of his children residing among us are Mrs. Judge Dayton and Mr. Thomas G. Thrum, Registrar of Conveyances. Aged as was the deceased, he could have said with old Israel, that he had not attained "to the days of the years of the life" of his fathers, since at last accounts his father was still alive in Australia at the age now of one hundred and two years. Father Thrum has gone from us, fully ripe in years, in piety, in faith. His departure was easy and peaceful. On his last Sabbath he worshipped in his usual place in church; the next Sabbath he rested from his labors with the redeemed ofthe Lord. �44 A Sunday Afternoon with our Chinese THE FRIEND.

Some ofthe Chinese are gathered about the long table which runs the length of the room, conning diligently their books, while a motley company gather about the doors, who are full of curiosity to see what this whole affair means. If they carry away with them nothing more than the memory of these kind friends' faithful attention to the good of their countrymen, they will not have lingered in vain. It is through these openings that the sunlight ofChristian love and benevolence reaches to and warms the hearts of men. Out once more in the open air and this time in the direction of the Kamehameha Schools, under whose protecting shadow we find a neat, pleasant school-house, where we find Mr, Terry and some of the young men from the institution, giving instruction to a group of Chinese who came from the neighborhood. As we watch the young Hawaiians, for whom so much is being done by faithful teachers, through the week, we rejoice to feel that they are also learning to share with others the light which they have received. We have but time for our most recently opened school, up Nuuanu Valley, in the native church on Wylie street, which the Hawaiians generously opened to us for this hour of the day and where the faithful old sexton is vigorously ringing the bell, as we arrive. It is a bright, pleasant building within, hung round with Bible pictures which are a lesson in themselves. Mrs. Jordan and several other kind friends, are begining the work here with good heart and will. 'The grateful faces ol the Chinese witness to their appreciation of this undertaking. May it prosper and grow! We would gladly linger longer at all these schools, but we have tinje for only a' hasty glance at this time. Some who have never visited these schools may ask. what is the good of all this effort ? We are sure those who are engaged in the work and know more about it are not troubled with such questionings, but rejoice in the privilege which is afforded them of sharing with others the blessed truths which have brought "ligh.t and life" to their own hearts. This effort we are convinced is productive of much good; it brings a large reward to both teacher and taught. It is a work which the Master owns and blesses. Most fervently do we hope that all Christian friends will earnestly pray that this work may go forward and increase in power and beneficent influence. At another time it may be interesting to note the progress of similar work at different points on the Islands. Most gladly will be welcome further additions to our teaching force here in Honolulu and in the country. F. W.

It contained forty-six hymns, prepared by Rev. Hiram Bingham, one of the pioneer missionaries of the A. B. C. F. M. In preparing the hymns he had the co-operation of Rev. William Ellis, one of the L. M. S. missionaries to Tahiti. It will be remembered that Mr. Ellis providentially visited the Sandwich Islands on his way to the Marquesas, was persuaded to remain a while, and greatly assisted the American missionaries in many ways during his stay in these islands from April 1823 to September 1824. The original of many of these early Hawaiian hymns will be found in the Tahitian hymn book. The second edition, of sixty-three hymns, was published in 1827; the third in 1830, wit* 100 hymns; the fourth, 194 hymns, in 1837. Rev. Mr. Bingham edited all these, and wrote the prefaces with directions for reading and singing. On his departure from the islands in 1840, Rev. Lorenzo Lyons took up the work of translating and composing hymns, and supervised the next four editions of the hymn book. 'The fifth, published in 1*46, contained 274 hymns; the sixth, 1855, had 311 hymns; the seventh, 404, in 1864; the eighth and last, published in 1870 and printed in several successive editions of 1,000 each, comprises 612 hymns. Of these 363 were translations of English hymns, such old favorites as "A Charge to Keep I have,'' "Alas land did my Saviour bleed," &c, &C, and recent popular hymns also, "A light in the window,'" Beautiful City," "Depth of mere}' can there be," "He leadeth me," &c, &c. Of these 61 2 hymns Rev. A. O. Forbes wrote one; Rev. R. Armstrong two; Rev. A. Bishop seven; Rev. W. Ellis eight; Rev. H. Bingham ninetytwo; Rev. L. Lyons 472. Continuing his missionary labors for over fifty years " 1832-1886, at Waimea, Hawaii, Father Lyons took great delight, atone station, during all the feebleness of his later years, in writing as regularly as the week came round at least one hymn. He sent these hymns to Honolulu for publication in the Kuokoa, the weekly Hawaiian newspaper. He also prepared two Sunday School Hymn Books, the Lei Alii (Royal Crown) in 1878, pp. 160, 157 hymns; and in 1881 the Hoku Ao Xani (Beautiful Morning Star), 288 hymns, 306 pp. This last was published at his own cost and charges with the money given him ($1,200) as a jubilee testimonial from the Hawaiian Sunday Schools. A similar but smaller S. S. Hymn and Tune Book had been published in 1870 (republished 1872) the Hae Hoonani (Banner of Praise), containing thirty-six hymns, originally pub- 45 THE FRIEND. child's paper, published by the Hawaiian Board. The Leo Hooninna is a similar smiiil collection. Earlier children's hymn books were the Hintent Kamalii, published in 1832, a second edition in 1838, ten hymns, pp. 12, with a condensed.rhythmical compend of the Ten Commandments; and the Lira Kamalii, the hymns edited by Rev. E. Bond, and the tunes by Rev. G. B. Rowell, published in 1862, republished in 1867, pp. 192, 148 hymns. A Temperance Song Book, Mclc Pnali Inuwai, forthe Bands of Hope, was published in 1849. Another, Kiilu Wat Liili'i (Little Drops of Water), was printed in 18*7. A separate treatise on the rudiments of music, Kiiiiiu Leomele, printed in 1832. was also bound up with the third edition of the hymn book. Instead of the usual do, re, mi, Mr. Bingham chose for the Hawaiian gamut the syllables pa, ko, li, hd, no, la, mi, and singing the scale in Hawaiian is called pa-ko-li. just as spelling the syllable pa. pa, Sec, in the first Hawaiian primer, has led to giving the name pi-a-pa to the Hawaiian alphabet as well as to the spelling book. The Lira Hawaii, a tune book printed in several ed'lions, 1814, 1816, 1848, 1855, contains the collection of the standard church tunes, 226 in all, and 95 chants in common use in the Hawaiian churches. In 1872 a selection of sixty of the Moody and Sankey Gospel Hymns, Na Himcni Euauelio, translated by Rev. L. Lyons, was published by the Hawaiian Board, and met with a speedy sale. A second selection of sixty hymns was published in 1884, and a third in 1886. These three are now bound together and sold as one book, and a new edition of 1,000 has just been published. These books proved of great service in making successful the evangelistic meetings held during that time. The Catholics published a hymn book and tune book in 1564, and the English Episcopalians a hymn book in Hawaiian for their school and church use in 1863. c. M. H. News has been received from Dr. Secretary of the A. B. C. F. M., that a new missionary has been found for the Micronesian field, a Rev. John J. Forbes, who is to be stationed with the Rev. Mr. Doane, the veteran of Ponape. Judson Smith, It is also hoped that Mrs. Logan maysee her way clear to return to her old field at Ruk. If she comes she may be expected in time for the return of the Morning Shir. Mrs. Snelling is to come on at the same time, and possibly another lady teacher to go to the assistance of the depleted and burdened Kusaiean workers. Another thousand dollars for the Theological Institute! Good; but it is not good enough yet; seven thousand is not sufficient; we want ten thousand, and a lot more for other things besides. (Continued from page 40.) So far as it goes its influence is in- valuable. It is in the hands of an able and a good man who speaks truth in wisdom and fearlessness. Once a month things get said in it which need to be said. For years it has been voicing our best convictions, and yet it is permitted to do this only at the lengthy interval of the month. That is not frequent enough for these days. It is crippled in its beneficent work foi want of means. It needs enlargement; capital should be put into it; capital could not make a better investment for itself than this. We are in need of an influence to be put forth in the fear of God and his truth, just such as this paper represents, and only asks to be pecuniarily backed that it may wield it. The Friend should be granted a semi-monthly issue. This would greatly magnify its power. It would freshen its pages and make it doubly attractive both at home and abroad. A semi-monthly issue would meet better the times of our mails— would send our voice abroad, that in sonorous tones it might repel the false reports that now in their outbound course so frequently get the start of us. This semi-monthly issue would put us at a vastly greater advantage in the struggle with evil than we are now in. But to achieve such a result as this would require capital and a properly salaried editor. The man is at hand if only the money were forthcoming. Diversity of Churches a Blessing. The English people is too rich in religious character and political achievment to have been the creation of any one church. No one of them all can survey our mighty millions at home and beyond the seas and say, " Lo! all these are the work of my hands." 'Towards the result every, even the obscurest, sect has contributed, and churches not ofthe English state are yet of the English people, means and agents by which the spirit and truth of Christ have been translated into English conduct, custom, law. Presbytery helped to preserve and develop our representative institutions ; Independency to evoke and discipline our love of freedom; Quakerism to deepen and strengthen the need of inwardness, simplicity and ethical reality in religion; Methodism to accentuate the value of personal conviction, sincerity, zeal. God has had some message to send through each special community, or it would not have been. It is a shallow and futile philosophy of history that finds God for Esurope only in the Catholic, or for England only in the Anglican Church —that sees in the Protestant or Free Churches only the spirit of schism or wilfulness or perverse individualism. God's ways are despised that honor may be done to a potent and venerable ecclesiastical order.—A. M. Fatrbairn, �46 THE FRIEND. The Messrs. Gulick on Church Consolidation. An Eminent Citizen.

There still remains to be contreasures of certain persons who are ■idered the history of union movements. To we now invite your attention. The organic being scorned on earth for their poverty. this union of the Church of Christ has been the dream Fear not, ye sacred souls. of every age, but the realization of none. This [June, 1889. dream has been fostered by the persistent misun derstanding of Christ's prayer that all his own might be one. even as he himself and the Father were one. That Christ did not here refer to the organic unity of the Church is'what commentators insist on. The machinery of the Church was nothing to him (he seldom even spoke of it), compared to the unity of spirit and brotherly love, which alone could give the Church true life and power in spreading the Gospel. It is high time, therefore, that Christians should understand this, and to give up the day-dream that organic unity of the Church will of itself give real power to the Church in saving men or redound to the glory ol God. The shame and weakness of the Church is not that there are many organizations, but rather that there are and have been dissensions and conflicts, so long and so bitter, all of which are due to the lack of that very unity of spirit for which Christ did pray. , However, every church has dreamed of and longed for organic union, and all have been ready and anxious to have the rest join with them. This is also the condition of union urged by the Roman and Episcopal churches, for the reason that they are, as they claim, the only true churches. This is also the condition of union offered by the Presbyterian churches to those of other politic*. Congregationalists alone have been the ones will ing to abandon their own polity, and to make an attempt at union, for the sake of the advantages which it seemed to offer. Their experience in these attempts for over a hundred years has been a bitter one, and they are beginning to see that success is impossible from the very nature of the case; they are beginning to hear the voice of hi*tory, which says, not in words, but in deeds, that those who xxould retain the practical advantages of freedom must hold fast to the fact of such free dom. That polities so opposite as the prelatical, the Presbyterian, and the Congregationalism which have been truly characterized as the autocratic, the aristocratic, and the democratic, should not be able to form genuine unions is a necessary consequence ot the nature of their polities. But why unions should not take place between bodies having the same polity is difficult to see. Such, indeed, have been the successful unions in the past, chiefly in the Presbyterian denominations, and of which the present Union Presbyterian body in Japan (Ichi Kyokwai) is an example. But it is a' strange fact that there, are in the United States thirteen distinct Presbyterian bodies, which have not yet been able to unite; many efforts have been made within the last four years to effect such unions between the larger bodies, but all the efforts have signally failed, and, according to their own leading historian, there is now no pros pect left that such union will take place in this century. Though among the Presbyterian bodies there have been many successful unions, there have been more disruptions. So long, therefore, as Presbyterian bodies cannot secure organic union among themselves, who have nothing to surrender as to polity, it is idle for them to make charges against Congregationalism, because, forsooth, it will not entirely give up its polity and become Presbyterian. Were it a question of Presbyterians becoming Congregationalists. of course the latter would have no objection. Were the Ichi Kyokwai churches ready, perchance, to modify the constitution by leaving out, among other things, the system of courts, and so make the proposed Nippon Kirisuto Kyokwai a genuine Congregational body, it would be the first conspicuous instance in history of Presbyterians, by union, becoming Congregational, and would be a happy omen for the future of Japan. Like all churches, however, Presbyterians are, ready for union, when it is the other polity that i* to surrender. If you are in the spirit of prayer,' do not be long, because other people will not be able to keep pace with you in 6uch unusual spirituality; and if you are not in the spirit of prayer, do not be long, because you will be sure to weary the listeners. — John Macdonald. �Volume 47, No. 6.J Rev.

Mr. W. comes with a noble record of able and successful work for souls in Colorado, and with a fund of ministerial experience which must be largely applicable even in the new and peculiar social conditions to be met among Hawaiians.

When though they are mentioned, the summary should not be understood to be complete. There are institutions among us which are sorely in need of spiritual helps. It is their defect that they are too material. Hut this charge was never, to our knowledge, brought up against any missionary organization. They are generally regarded as unduly spiritual, and as rather lacking in the things of this world. The latter charge is a true one. Missionary organizations, unworldly as they may he in their aim, have yet great need of the substantial things of this world; and this need, imperative as it is, has been only partially recognized. So meager is this recognition that it is a public scandal, and provokes ungodly mirth. A missionary carriage is understood to he a sort of ramshackle of a a missionary horse is an old, used up plow-horse,' without spirit or gait ; a missionary bouse well, it is a house that is rarely painted or repaired, and when work is clone on it, it is of the cheapest kind and has no regard for taste. The missionary must not growl if things are so, nor utter a word of complaint for himself. But the world sees it. and understands why it is so. Missionary operations must be carried on at the lowest possible expense; they must go as far possible and cost a:- little- as possible. There must be no extravagance nothing may go for show; there must beno sentiment about it. So far as the missionary is concerned he says that retrenchment is the word of the day. He tuts his cloth according to the pattern of an iron necessity. Hut it is not good for the rest of us that this should he so. We should feel that nothing is too good for our nr ;s nnaries. We cannot neglect them and fail of neglecting ourselves. Ourrememb ances ought to be rentii red them i:i the name of our own good. We plead in behalf of the reflex influence of such em nb.ances.

Fuller, - - - - Editor. The Outlook. The last number of The Friend contained the full report of the twentieth anniversary of this Association, held April 25th. That event closed the old year and ushered in the new. More radical changes have been made in the various committees, and more time put into the arrangement of the work this year than ever before, and the good results are already apparent. Nearly every committee has its work well in hand. The committees upon devotional work and invitations have taken hold with a will. The other committees are falling into line, and everything indicates that this will be one of the most prosperous years in the history of this Association. The growing interest in our work on the part of our younger members is very encouraging; this and the recent accessions to our force give a new impulse to the entire institution. This year it was decided to carry a good theory, regarding our finances, into actual practice, and during the first month try to secure pledges enough to cover the expenses for the entire year. As the Finance Committee were unusually occupied last month, the General Secretary came to their assistance in receiving a renewal of expired pledges and getting a large number of new ones. It was a new experience in this city, and one that for real pleasure and encouragement in the work, we think cannot be duplicated by any Secretary in any Association field in Christendom. The cordial welcome, hearty sympathy and large liberality with which we were greeted was refreshing and inspiring when compared with some fields in a larger country than this, that could be mentioned. There is still room and need for more pledges to meet the requirements of the year. Those desiring to help either the foreign or Hawaiian department can leave their names with Mr. C. M. Cooke, Chairman of the Finance Committee, or with Secretary Fuller, at the Rooms. There has been considerable just criticism about the arrangement of cur Hall for purposes of public entertainment. During the past few weeks this difficulty has been largely overcome by the permanent enlargement of the platform, and an arrangement of the curtains when they are needed, that will give a good view of the platform from all parts ofthe hall. This will improve the conditions for the work of the Entertainment Committee, and also make our hall more de- sirable for renting on proper occasions. The Association have voted to continue the occupancy of the Queen limma Branch another year. The various uses to which it is put for the benefit of three important nationalities seems to abundantly warrant the necessary outlay for the continuance of the work. Any contemplated aid of purse or presence can be reported to Judge Judd, chairman of the committee. Sunday Evening Service. erything he could lay his hands on.

Study the Bible. During the last two months the attendance at the Sunday Evening Praise Service has very much increased, and a new spirit seems to pervade the meetings. This is largely the result of new plans and increased personal effort on the part of the new Devotional Committee. We want the good work to go right on, and it will, if all the members will take a personal interest and help the Committee by coming to the meetings themselves and inviting others, and then doing their.duty when there. Some neat invitation cards havebeen prepared for the use of members in inviting young men to this service, and can be obtained ofthe General Secretary. The meeting is held in the Hall every Sunday evening at 6:30. Young men and strangers are cordially invited. Ths topics for the month are as follows: June 2—Drifting. Acts 24:24-27. Heb. 2:1-4. June 9 —What Doest Thou Here? Kings 19:9-18. Ps. 56:3. June 16—Objection to Truth does not make it less true. Jer. 19:14-15. 20:1-6. 39:1-2. June 23—They let slip their Opportunity.

Do not skim it or read, but study it, every word ; study the whole Bible, Old Testament and New; not your favorite chapters merely, but the complete Word of God from beginning to end. Don't trouble yourself with commentators; they may be of use if kept in their place, but they are not your guide. Your guide is "the Interpreter," the one among a thousand (Job xxxiii, 23) who will lead you into all truth (John xxi, 13), and keep you from all error. Not that you are to read no book but the Bible. All that is true and good is worth reading, if j'ou have time for it; and all, if properly used, will help you in the study of the Scriptures. * * * Let us read and re-read the Scriptures, meditating on them day and night; they never grow old, they never lose their sap, they never run dry. Don't let man's book thrust God's book into a corner; don't let commentaries smother the text; don't let the true and the good smother the truer and the better. Beware of light reading. Shun novels; they are the literary curse of the age ; they are to the soul what ardent spirits are to the body.

One subject which specially interested the students was the place which Christianity holds in the colleges and among the highly educated of the West. Many of them had been led to think that Christianity was losing its hold upon our in- tellectual classes. This outrageous false- hood has been circulated in Japan byskeptical professors from lingland, Germany and America. The same men also tell their countrymen that Christianity is a failure in Japan. One of these American misrepresentatives has the effrontery to challenge me to find a single Christian in Japan. I shall consider my mission to the young men of the liast a success if it simply enables me to say to the students of the Christian and government schools that while only one in twenty of all classes of our American young men combined is a member of an evangelical church, betM'een one-half and one-third of the young men in the colleges and universities are professing Christians. Any one wishing to strengthen his faith in Christianity by verifying these figures will find them in the table of College Associations in the last Year Book published by the International Committee. The only audience to which these figures appeared unpalatable was a large meeting held in a theatre in Kyoto. The students of Doshisha conducted the it, but it was not necessary. I had com- T D.

In the care of the lepers, and in the improvement of their condition the Government has always been active, and very solicitous. The lepers themselves were more or less influential people, and never had any difficulty in making their complaints heard and attended to. Mr. Ballantyne represents the settlement as abandoned to disorder and neglect nntil Father Damien's arrival in 1874 secured amelioration. The N.

The truth is, first, that no such abominable disorder among the lepers or neglect on the part of the Government existed, either at Damien's, arrival in 1873 or at any previous time. It is true that in 1865, the first year of the residence of lepers there, there was some disorder and some destitution for a short time, until the Government had learned their work. Secondly, Father Damien, although more or less serviceable, was never a chief moving spirit in the steady improvement that went on in the condition of the settlement. Such a claim for him is unfounded on fact, and the grossest exaggeration. The Government always took care to have faithful and capable agents, and gave zealous attention to the wants of the settlement without waiting for Damien to importune them. We now quote from the Biennial Report of the Board of Health to the Legislature dated April 1, 1874, about the time of, to Damien's arrival at the settlement. This report is signed by Hon. H. A. Widemann, then President of the Board of Health, a gentleman of high standing, a Catholic, a vigorous critic of administrative faults, and his party having just come into office, quite at liberty to denounce any neglect of the late Protestant Minister of Interior E. O. Hall. Mr. Widemann asserts that "in a material point of view these people are better off on Molokai than most natives of these Islands, and also better off, with few exceptions, than they ever were in their own homes." A " large number of kuleanas" "with numerous good houses" had recently been purchased to meet the wants of the increasing population. (Kuleanas are small private pieces of land.) Six thousand feet of water pipe had been laid. "Mr. W. P. Ragsdale who some months ago gave a remarkable example of self-sacrifice ingoing of his own accord to Molokai, is the present superintendent of the asylum. A more active and efficient man could hardly be found." The lepers "have been made in all respects as comfortable as possible." All this was before Damien had gone to the settlement. Turn back two years to the report of Dr. F. W. Hutchinson in 1872. "The food ration is a large one, and exceeds that supplied to the soldiers of the best supplied European and American armies." "The Board can fairly assert that these people are better supplied than they ever were in their own homes —a proof of the assertion may be found in the fact that many of the people living at the landing place at Kalaupapa, have been anxious to make themselves lepers." "We repeat again, that these [July, 1889. THE FRIEND. people are well taken care of, and not that island. After this, for eleven years, Rev. A. O. Forbes carried on the work unhappy." The tone of defense of this- report be- ably and devotedly, periodically visiting tokens the fact that the treatment of the and ministering to the lepers after they lepers was then as always the subject came there in 1865, organizing the of jealous scrutiny by the Hawaiian Siloam church, and installing their fiist public. pastor. At that time thatched houses were A considerable proportion of the lepers the common abodes of the people in all were members of Protestant churches, the country districts. These were often more comfortable and more healthy than their present wooden cottages. For many years our pioneer missionaries lived in grass houses. One writer complains that the lepers did not get milk. The natives are not used to have milk at home. What they want is pot, and poi was always a chief part of the leper's rations. This report of 1872 describes the commodious house of the keeper, two hospitals for the sick, and separate houses for those lepers needing special care. There are described "separate houses built for boys and girls, with a special building for a school room," the teacher being a leper. " A number of milch cows furnish plenty of milk" for the patients, "and the food is prepared by a Chinese cook." "A little distance from this central place, nearer the seaside, a little church has been built, where every Sunday a native minister, a leper himself, holds a service. * It is well attended by the poor people for whose benefit it has been specially erected." This last testimony of Dr. Hutchison will have the more force with those who remember how entirely out of sympathy he was with the Protestant missionaries. We now take up the calumnies as to the religious and moral' condition of Molokai and the Leper Settlement at the date of Damien's arrival. Mr. Ballantyne says: "Though the other Hawaiian Islands had abolished idolatry and adopted Christianity, in Molokai— where there was no missionary, no priest—the old paganism, with all its horrible consequences,reigned supreme." This seems really too absurd for serious notice. Molokai was, in many respects, the most thoroughly and successfully worked missionary field in the group. Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock were at the head of the work from 1832 to 1857. They were peculiarly devoted and efficient, and had excellent missionaries associated with them. There were no traders in their field, and their influence was less impeded than on the other islands. Nearly every man and woman on the island came to own their powerful moral and spiritual sway. Father Hitchcock was a first-class example of a devoted, hard-working missionary hero, whom the people both loved and feared, and we had plenty more like him. About the time of his death the count showed an excess of births over deaths on Molokai. This was the one solitary instance of the kind in this kingdom. It erinced the superior moral condition of * many deacons, and some ministers. Their spiritual wants were well supplied by church and Sabbath schools, and have always been the object of solicitous care from the other churches and the Hawaiian Bosrd. And now comes this Mr. Ballantyne and tells the world that Molokai was a heathen island, which Father Damien christianized! Mr. Ballantyne may have been misled by Catholic Mission statistics, which would have shown Molokai to have been without church or priest of their persuasion. Father Hitchcock's supremacy left them no foothold. Still we think that good Bishop Maigret would hardly have made return of Molokai as a "Pagan" island, however far from salvation he may have reckoned us Protestants. Why Bishop Maigret left his Catholic people at Kalawao for so many years destitute of spiritual care, we do not know. So neglected, they became the source of much of the moral disorder that existed at Kalaupapa among the idle lepers in spite of church and magistrate. Father Damien did a worthy and noble thing to volunteer in 1873 to serve them. He did great good by bringing the neglected Catholic minority under spiritual direction and control. He also worked zealously for their bodily needs. In this respect his services may doubtless be regarded as of indispensable value. We don't know of any evidence that Damien's usefulness for some years extended beyond what he did for the Catholic minority. All good missionaries, as a rule, combine a variety of ma-terial labors with spiritual; Damien did the same, -and seems to have done his work zealously and faithfully according to his ability. The fact was, that the. general condition of the settlement was good, and the government and superintendents Meyer and Ragsdale were doing all they could to improve it. As Damien gained experience, he no doubt contributed useful suggestions. We find him in 1878, after the death of superintendent Ragsdale, acting as assistant superintendent. A strong committee of investigation evidently did not consider him as meeting the needs of the office, although they imputed his inadequacy to the pressure of his spiritual duties. We have, contended that Damien's usefulness was simply that of the ordinary missionary priest. A special heroism there undoubtedly was, in undertaking and performing his duties in the face of the liability of becoming a leper himself. We do not minimize that he- �Volume 47, No. 7.] roism in saying that he coveted death by leprosy as winning for him special spiritual "merit," or a "martyr's" crown. Such heroism in varied forms, however, pervades the history of Catholic and Protestant churches. Hawaii and Micronesia are full of examples of it, and among those who do not believe in earning "merit," but who wish merely to follow their lord in helping and saving men. We think it an unworthy exaggeration to erect this good priest into a rare and wonderful martyr. As to the alleged "exile," there was none. He was always free to go and come, and occasionally visited Honolulu, even after he became a leper. There are several other devoted priests here, and we doubt if some of them would not have willingly exchanged parishes with their brother Damien, with his ample govHis ernment rations and housing. ardent admirer Stoddard found him in 1884, hearty, buoyant and busy, and living in plenty. None the less a hero for that. But the vain effort to make an exceptional hero of him has led to the flood of calumnious misstatements which we have felt compelled to refute. We purposely abstain from setting forth several acknowledged facts which would put this matter in a stronger light, and which many here will feel disappointed not to see published herewith. Enough has been said for our purpose in vindicating our Hawaiian civilization from the disgraceful inhumanity imputed to it.

Mr. King is now on his way to confer with the officers of the London Missionary Society. A pleasant reception was given Mr. and Mrs. King and daughter, with Mr. and Mrs. Harris of Melbourne, at Rev. Dr. Hyde's on Saturday evening, to which were invited those persons more intimately related to mission work here. Messrs. Harris and King made short addresses. They had landed at Samoa from the Alameda, and so renewed their knowledge of the people and their affairs. While the Gospel work retains sub stantially its power and activity in Samoa, the churches are suffering from the lack of missionary superintendence.

THE FRIEND. 54 The Conemaugh Valley Disaster. Rev. Dr. Beckwith, Jast Sunday evening, applied the lessons of this terrible event with great force and feeling. It teaches us to build well, both in material and in spiritual things, so as to endure all tests. One inestimable enrichment which the Conemaugh destruction will assuredly be in material things, we have not seen alluded to. Congress has just given half a million for a mere reconnoisance of the Rocky mountains, with a view to construct perhaps a thousand great storage reservoirs, with colossal dams. The hundreds of millions of fertile but arid acres that await irrigation, will ensure the construction of those dams to impound the spring floods for man's service. What gangs of greedy and inhuman contractors and of corrupt inspectors stand ready to slight and cheapen their work, and to imperil the lives of the millions who will dwell in the lower valleys. Now at the inception of the work, and in merciful though stern warning God sends this gigantic wreck of Conemaugh. It will now be hardly possible for either government or individuals to neglect their duty in making faithful and solid work in the Rocky mountain dams. So the judgment may prove to be the greatest mercy. So—too optimistically some of our readers may think—we regard the Seattle conflagration, with all its ruin and loss to individuals, as really a great mercy to the city. First, the fire was sure to come in that ill-built huddle of houses. How much better to come now before millions more had been expended on good buildings. Secondly, the whole tract is cleaned off; the streets will be widened and reformed, and a noble city of fire-proof blocks will replace the former ill-built town. Probably the ground alone is already worth more in the market than it was before the fire, with all its buildings standing. But note another thing. Such a fire in Constantinople or Peking would have been purely a disaster. No improvement of the burnt district would follow. A dam or a dyke bursting in China would be followed by no improvement in the public engineering. Why are we so thoroughly assured that improvement will follow in America? Because in America there is conscience. Because there is spiritual enlightenment. Because there are crowds of noble men and women whose soiils make great outcry against sloth and greed and treachery; they kindle other souls, and the sluggards and traitors and pirates are daunted and made ashamed. So good work will be done. This is one thing that comes to any people when Christ has shone upon them. They witl not endure scoundrelism. They will have good and honest work. The same sort of thing was brought out just two years ago in the Armory meeting in this city, when a flood of public wrath swept away villainy in high places. Solid and honest work is likely to be done in Honolulu for some time to come. But all public affairs need the support of active and watchful consciences. Bad men hate and vilify conscience in other people, but give way before it when aroused in its might. Rev. E. G. Porter Visits Honolulu. Among the many visitors which our central position in the lines of commerce brings to us, we have met few more interesting than Rev. E. G. Porter, pastor of a church in Lexington, Mass. Mr. Porter has now been two years on his travels. Associated with the wellknown Rev. Dr. March of Woburri, and in the interests of the American Board, although not at their expense, he visited and studied the Board's missions in the Turkish Empire India, China and Japan, also missions in Burmah and Siam, most of which countries he has extensively explored, as well as Java and Australia. In Peking Dr. March became disabled by illness and returned home. Mr. Porter is evidently an acute observer and an admirable reporter of what he has seen. We have seldom listened to a more entertaining and agreeable has lectured in Central speaker. Church upon missions in the Union Turkish Empire, and again upon that in India; he has also lectured in the Y. M. C. A. Hall upon Siam and upon Java. Mr. Porter has visited Kauai, and is now upon Hawaii. He expects to sail for home on July sth. We hope to hear again his interesting narrations. The home churches have a spiritual and intellectual treat before them when he arrives. The sermon on Home Missions was preached in the evening at Kaumakapili church by Rev. S. Paaluhi. Rev. A. D. Bissell at the same time preaching the sermon on Foreign Missions to the English speaking congregation in the Central Union Church. Kamehameha Exhibition. When we went to our Sabbath school on Sunday, June 23d, in old Kawaiahao church, we found the immense platform, supposed to be adequate for all possible school purposes, extended to more than double its area for the coming exhibition of Mr. Oleson's school. It was suggested that they were going to show us a baseball game, in which their nine have, this season, been so victorious. Thursday evening, June 27th, we went and saw some things out of the ordinary course. There was a fair assortment of declama- tions, creditably delivered. Some of these Hawaiian youth were perfectly distinct in articulation of English words, which is not very common. Samuel Kauhane and William Spencer read compositions, both of which were interesting in matter, and distinctly enunciated. An interesting newspaper, the Kamehameha Sentinel, was read by the editor, John Wise; it contained many amusing hits. During the reading, four artists were drawing comical pictures upon the black-board, showing freedom and correctness of handling." Fractions on Fire" and "Rapid Calculation" were black-board and oral exercises, exhibiting quick movements in arithmetic, and amazed the natives. The need of the great stage appeared in the Indian club and dumb-bell exercises, in which the athletic, military forms of the tall boys were displayed in splendid action. With such physical training, and with the regular habits and temperate regime of the school, the base-ball success of the Kamehameha nine is quite accountable. Now if these fine fellows will only keep up to what they are learning here through after life! The weakness of Hawaiians is to do nobly for a while and then relapse into slack and careless living. Yet some of our fine Lahainaluna youth have fulfilled their early promise, while too many have drifted with the strong tide of half-heathen living. The young Kamehamehas are being finely equipped with hands and eyes skilled for the best and most useful artizenship. An exhibit of their manual work hung back of the stage in the form of house and bridge models with samples of turning and joinery. Plumbing and smithing exhibits were seen at school. We fully coincide with the view of the founders of the school that this manual training will supply an es- �Volume 47, No. 7.] sential element in the success in life of Hawaiian Youth. Mr. Townsend ably conducted the vocal music exercises, several of which varied the exhibition. The voices of the boys seemed to be receiving a careful training. The Hallelujah Chorus closed the evening. We congratulate Mr. Oleson and his faithful assistants upon the fine impression of their work which the exhibition has made upon the public. The great house was crowded. Mr. Shinichi Ando, son of Mr. Taro for the occasion, which was to give a Ando, the Japanese Consul-General, is farewell reception to Mr. Shinichi Ando, now leaving Honolulu to study at An- son of the Japanese Consul residing in dover, Massachusetts. Mr. Ando has been at Oahu College for the past three years, giving special attention to the natural sciences. He has been highly esteemed in his church relations, as well as in school. For his own sake, as well as for that of his noble Christian father, we wish for him every success and prosperity in his new surroundings.

The closing exercises of this institution were held on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 4th, in the fine large schoolroom added to the building last year. There was a crowded assembly of parents, patrons, and prominent residents. The pupils, all native girls, went through their numerous assigned parts in excellent style. The music was directed by Miss Patch, who has evidently more than kept up the high standard of her predecessors. It reflects the greatest credit on the new corps of young and skillful teachers that, notwithstanding their total inexperience with Hawaiian girls, the school has prospered and even gone forward. Miss Pepoon the new Principal, has earned high praise. But perhaps the greatest honor of all is due to the excellent Miss Hopper, who alone remained of the former faculty, and who lent to the utmost her valuable experience and happy influence to introduce her new associates to their work. We congratulate the Trustees and Patrons on the successful progress of the school, and on the many generous benefactions which have replaced the old and dilapidated buildings with the present noble and commodious edifice. Nearly 130 girls were housed and taught in the Seminary the past year. 55 THE FRIEND. Judd read at Central Union Church prayer meeting an English version of his historical address to the natives at Kawaiahao on the occasion of the Jubilee anniversary of tke completion of the Hawaiian Bible. We hope to print this address in our August issue. It is rich in interest. Judge Rev. A. C. Walkup arrived per Umatilla on the 28th ult., to do his yearly visiting per Morning Star among the Gilbert Islands. Mrs. Logan and Mr. and Mrs. Forbes are expected per Zealandia on the 6th. The Star will take speedy departure after their arrival. We thankfully acknowledge the receipt from Mr. John T. Arundel at Howland's I, of a long promised account of a late visit toTahiti and other South Pacific Islands, with observations of great value from so experienced an observer. We shall hope to find place for this paper in our August issue. Reception. The Japanese Y. M. C. A. had a very pleasant gathering in Queen Emma Hall on Saturday evening, June 22d. The room was very tastefully decorated this city. Young Ando came here with his parents about three years ago, and although *his parents were not then Christians, he had been placed by them in a Christian school, and while there was converted. Since he came to this city he has been very earnest and active in Christian work especially among his countrymen. He was a member of the Central Union Church; an active member of the foreign Y. M. C. A.; also Recording Secretary of the Japanese Branch. Mr. Ando goes to Andover, Mass., to spend a year in Philip's Academy, then to Ann Arbor to persue a special course in chemistry, after which he will return to his native land to engage in business. On the above evening Dr. Hyde presided and the exercises consisted of singing, prayers and brief addresses rendered in Japanese and English, there being a goodly number of each nationality present. A generous supply of ice cream and cake made up the programme of a very pleasant evening, the memory of which will cheer and help our young brother when among scenes and faces that are new and strange. The Nineteenth Century contains an article by Mrs. Humphrey Ward, entitled "The New Reformation, in which she demands that the same principles of literary criticism which have been applied to the analysis of other documents, be applied to the Four Gospels. With this demand we are in hearty accord, as are all the more progressive members of the evangelical church. The result, however, of the application of this method to the study of the New Testament has been to make it almost absolutely certain that the three synoptic Gospels existed in substantially their present form within half a century after the death of' Christ, and reasonably certain that the fourth Gospel existed in substantially its present form before the end of the first century. These are the conclusions, not merely of orthodox students endeavoring to defend the authenticity of the Gospels, but of unprejudiced, if adverse critics. All that Christian faith demands of the Rationalistic school is that they should explain how the narratives of miracles became incorporated in these contemporaneous, records by writers whose honesty never has been impugned, and whose opportunities for observation are not questioned, if the events did not occur as they are narrated in the evangelical histories. The notion that these narratives of miracles are mythical additions of a later date, has been destroyed by the very methods of criticism to which Mr. Huxley and the author of "Robert Elsmere" appeal.—Dr. Lyman Abbott, �Monthly Record of Events.

June is our Anniversary Month, the closing exercises of our various educational institutions being put into at least three of its four weeks. This week (the last of the month) we have the stimulating anniversaries of the Karhehameha schools. Last week we were entertained by the Punahou schools—collegiate and preparatory. Indeed, week before that we went to the annual picnic of the Sabbath school of the Central Union Church, and ran the bases with the married men for the encouragement of the small boys. We had all the exercises we wanted. But Anniversary Week proper begins with the Sabbath before the first Tuesday in June. Then the people commence to gather—pastors, delegates and friends at the churches to hear the missionary sermons. The first meeting this year was at Kawaiahao Church. It was a union meeting, and the auditorium of this notable structure was filled with a select audience. On the platform sat the clergy with Rev. H. H. Parker the pastor, and Rev. J. K. losepathe preacher for the morning. He was on appointment to preach the sermon on Foreign Missions, and his theme was the power of Christ's Kingdom, and the things that make it strong. In pleading for money he used the apt illustration of a kite. Boys fly kites, but they have to get the kite up to catch the wind, and so they must have string and pay out, and if they want the kite to fly high and sail like the moon, far overhead, they must have a large ball of string, and they need not only plenty of string, they must have tail to steady the kite in its far flight, and to keep it from diving down to destruction. Now, said the preacher, Micronesia is our kite, she lies far out upon the azure sea, but if we are to sustain her there, we must give her plenty of string and tail. — Our Anniversary Week is a full one. Meetings were held every day. Besides the parent society there are the auxiliaries that cluster with it: the Woman's Board, which, like woman, is needed everywhere; the General Sabbath School Association of the group, the General Young People's Christian Association and the Blue Ribbon League.

EVIDENCES OF GROWTH AND PROGRESS. Volumes in the libraries of 522 associations number 385,728. Educational classes are reported by 234 associations, literary societies by 148, lectures by 543 and sociables by 657; in each case a large increase over the figures of the last report. The attendance at the Bible and training classes, weekly prayer meetings, foreign missionary meetings, Gospel and daily prayer meetings and days of prayer for young and colleges indicates also an average gain. Situations to the no/Tiber of 7,619 were [July, 1889. secured by 277 associations. Railroad branches number 77, and boys' departments 162. Substantial progress is shown by the statement as a whole. INCREASING WEALTH OF THE ASSOCIATIONS. The buildings owned by the local associations are valued at $6,829,395; furniture, $688,136; libraries, $388,517, the volumes numbering 385,728, the figures showing a remarkable advance,. The increase in associations reporting has been in ten years about 33 percent.; in the Bible classes, 100 per cent.; the aggregate membership 200 per cent., a fact having an important bearing on the increase in what are called secular agencies. The increase in the total net value of property, real and personal, is $6,600,000. Another indication of growth is the change in the quality of the secretarial force. Sixty-one young men are now connected with the Springfield school, taking wholly or partially the two years' course, most of them with their instructors attending the convention. The report goes on to speak of the instruction in gymnastics, noting that most of the teachers are now Christian men. In relation to finance it is pointed out that the demand for assistance in securing building funds and building calls for a longer time of service in particular localities than was formerly given. In California, for example, one man could be employed in the matter of buildings for an entire year. Prolonged absence from home calls for expense, and the Committee will need an addition to the budget this year of $12,000, and as much more the year following. Publications, correspondence and offices in New York are additional items of expense, the committee having removed from the rooms furnished without charge by the association in that city. IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS SUBMITTED. An increase of the funds annually placed at the disposal of the committee, to the sum of $65,000 is asked in view of the growing magnitude and importance of the specific fields of effort open to it, viz.: at the East and Northeast, at the West and Northwest, on the Pacific coast, at the South and Southwest, in the Dominion of Canada, among the colored young men, among railroad men, among German and other young men speaking foreign languages, among students in colleges, among commercial travellers. General visitation of the better organized fields, including attendance at State and local conventions. The work at the central office, including correspondence and the distribution of printed and written information through circulars and the newspapers. And, as of special importance, the secretarial department of the work, including attention to the provision of gymnasium instructors.— Y.

Why may we not reverently, yet boldly adopt these glowing words, and apply them to ourselves as Christ's workers, and to the churches and people of these Hawaiian Islands? As was forcibly set before us last Sabbath evening, the Lord had chosen Israel for his inheritance. He had selected that little nation to be the center and seed-ground of his spiritual operations upon this globe. Through the long Old Testament centuries he concentrated his work of revelation and redemption upon Palestine. He chose Judah and Jerusalem for choice and peculiar religious culture, that they might learn somewhat to know the Lord, and so become qualified in their turn to make him known to all mankind. It was his desire that his church as planted at Jerusalem should grow into maturity and beauty. He wanted it to become " established," and be "a praise in the earth." Therefore should God's earnest working people,those especially called to his spiritual work, be intensely solicitous to gain the accomplishment of this great end. They should set themselves to it, and take no rest from their exertions to gain this noble result. They should give the Lord no rest, but be unceasing and importunate in their petitions to him to inspire and prosper the spiritual work, until Jerusalem, or the visible community of God's people, became strong and predominant, and over all the earth famed for its honor and sanctity, its beauty and purity. The fulfillment of this prophetic desire has not yet arrived in any completeness to old Jerusalem or to any considerable portion of Christ's visible church. We cannot yet tell whether it will ever have any especial fulfillment to that city on Judea's hills, or to that wonderful race of Israel scattered through many lands. It is common expectation that in a perhaps soon-coming day the churches of the Lord will cast aside their impeding weights and their benumbing sins, and will stand forth in their true heritage of strength and beauty, in the full power of the Holy Spirit, and likeness to their Lord. It is certain that every community of churches in the world should cherish such an ideal, and should press forward to realize it. It seems as if no community of Christian people in the world had a clearer call to take these words of the text to ourselves than we. That wonderfully strong and concentrated application of spiritual force which marked Jehovah's work for Israel has had something like its counterpart here. Fifty years ago, when after nineteen years of missionary labor our Hawaiian Bible was completed, 59 �THE FRIEND. 60 no such stigma among Hawaiians as large a proportion have been baptized they do among us, why should we re- this year past, as have been gathered quire their genuine Christians to be into all the Protestant churches in Japan proof against those?

Parsonages having been built, the Aid Society undertakes to furnish them. In many other ways the native pastors are assisted, and their efficiency promoted, and the native and foreign Christisns feel the bond of mutual kindness and help. It is to be hoped that similar Pastor's Aid Societies will speedily be formed on the other islands, availing themselves of the happy experience of Kauai, and that a very liberal support will be given them. All that we can do to promote the activity and efficiency of the Native Pastorate, will more effectively build up all the churches under their care than any other agency. Working in another way to the same end of pastoral efficiency will be our new missionaries from the American Board, whose leading work will be in spiritual aid and counsel to the pastors and their churches. One able and experienced man has already arrived whose earnest spirit is a great refreshment to us. We hope for more soon to follow. These men must be liberally supported out of such means as tlie Lord has bestowed upon his more favored followers.

I wish he had a coadjutor, who could take half his seminary work and care, before he succumbs to the pressure. He has been laboriously striving to gather a very moderate sum to decently house this important school. How can a better investment be made for the Lord's work than in putting this indispensable and most successful school of the prophets into a fitting condition? How are recruits to be found for the institute, candidates for training for the ministry? The most important feeder for supplying trained and devout young men, has been and is the Hilo Boarding School. This school is now languishing through poverty ( although eminently successful and prosperous in its work. Such a school is the creation of generations of faithful missionary work under the blessings of the Spirit of God. It calls for your liberal help. Its failure would be a most disastrous loss to our churches and to the supply of our Pastoral Force. Your are already conversant with the �Volume 47, No. 7.] THE needs and the inestimable service of our various Boarding and Training Schools for both sexes, and have learned to be generous in their maintenance. Every year will call for larger expenditure upon these in which lies so much of the nation's hope. There still lie before us the great and ever enlarging fields of evangelizing labor for the immigrant races. In this work our churches have already shown a high activity, and a zeal that is continually bringing its own reward to the earnest workers. Yet we can see how much more might be done and ought to be done at once. Our missionary to the Chinese ought by this time to be supported by one or more coadjutors to help in the enlarging work, while he himself should receive an adequate stipend, without need of recourse to privatemeans. These Chinese schools and churches are prospering and constantly pushing for extension. Shall they be cramped for lack of funds, as they have been ? Considering the great ness of our opportunity here, how small our past performance! Never was there a more successful and fruitful work for the Lord that that which in now going on for the Japanesepeople. It has not been costly to us. We ought to do more for it. It will inevitably need a great deal of help. So I might go on and point out this and the other call for support in the various branches of the Lord's work. Our more prosperous Christians have been largely called upon in past years, and have responded to the call as I believe, far beyond what is generally found in Christian churches. We may indeed greatly rejoice in the liberality of our prosperous Christians. They have been learning to give, and have tasted much of the luxury of giving. It now seems as if our Lord and King were calling on you to find a yet higher satisfaction in more abundant tribute. It has been a year of unwonted financial prosperity. Your means have been greatly augmented of late, and now the call comes is it not a clear and loud call ?—for you to deal generously by the Lord's work even as He has dealt graciously with you. Do this, and doubt not that He will greatly bless you. He will build you up spiritually. These renovated and spiritually enriched churches all over the Islands will in their turn impart to you and yours of their own spiritual increase. All things seem this year to point to a "new departure " in spiritual activity and in church growth and prosperity. Reinforced in personal strength of workers, invigorated by sufficient means, shall we not confidently ask and expect the one essential help of God's Holy Spirit without which all other expenditure and toil remain unproductive, but which help is never withheld from the prayers of Christ's workers? Let us then take no rest, brethren, from these holy labors and this sacred - 61 FRIEND. tribute, and let us give the Lord no rest, until as the years of effort and gifts and prayers go on we see him establishing this our Hawaiian Jerusalem, and making her a praise in the earth. Then shall bis word be fulfilled unto us, "Arise: shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee." Annual Meeting of the W. B. M. P. I. The Woman's Board held their Annual Meeting the first week in June. On Tuesday afternoon, about forty ladies met in the ladies' parlor of the Central Union Church. Afrer the regular monthly business, the reports of the Home and Foreign .Secretaries were read. The foreign correspondence has been rather small this year. A few letters from members abroad and from Micronesia. The Home Secretary g;ive reports from the Maui branch, which has been in a very flourishing Condition during the past year; also from the Hilo branch. These are the only places outsice of Honolulu, where regular meetings are maintained. The Secretary of the Gleaners, Mrs. E. C. Damon, presented their report; and Mrs. Coan that of the Helping Hand. Both of these are Auxiliary Societies. Mrs. Miyama was present and gave an interesting account of their work among the Japanese. Mrs. J. M. Cooke read a paper, a memorial of Mrs. M. A. Alexander, giving quite a full account of her missionary life, Mrs. A. was for main- years a Vice-President of our Board. Miss M. A. Chamberlain read a touching memorial of our much missed member, Mrs. L. F. Dickson. Both of these papers will be found in the printed report. By request, this was followed by the singing of the Hymn ".Some Sweet Day, Bye and Bye," by Mrs. E. C. Damon and Miss M. Beck with. Business reported by Committees followed and the meeting was closed with the Doxology. The second session was held in the vestry of C. U. Church, taking the place of the Monthly Concert. Mrs. S. M. Damon had decorated the room very beautifully. Mrs. H. Bingham presiding; the opening exercises of prayer and Scripture reading were by Rev. E. G, Beckwith. Treasurer's Report was presented by Mrs. J. M.Whitney, Treasurer pro tern, showing a balance of $145 in the Treasury. Mrs. S. E. Bishop, Recording Secretary, gave quite a full account of the girl's school on Ponape, as represented by Miss Fletcher during her recent visit here, on her way to the States. Also extracts from letters written by Miss Palmer and Miss Dr. Ingersol with a brief sketch of the Home Work among Hawaiians and Chinese. A selected choir of girls from Kawaiahao Seminary sung an Anthem very sweetly. Thirteen little Chinese girls recited texts of Scripture and portions of Hymns, closing by singing "Jesus Loves Me," in English and Chinese. Miss Mary E. Green presented her reyort of Home Evangelistic Work, Mrs. F. W. Damon that of Chinese Work, both of which were exceedingly interesting and appear in full in the printed report. The Anthem "From the Cross Up Lifted High," was sung by Mrs. E. C. Damon and others. The closing address of the President Mrs. H. Bingham was upon the "Work of Woman for Women," as shown in the various Boards now in operation, showing how the work began, and how it has been carried forward. Benediction by Rev. E. G. Porter of Lexinton, Mass. The Annual Tea-Party given by the Woman's Board to the members of the Evangelical Association, was held on Thursday from 4to 6 P.M. About two hundred guests were present. The cordial hand-shaking and -aloha, testified to the good will prevailing. A bountiful repast of coffee and other refreshments gave social cheer. This was followed by programme, opened with prayer by the venerable Dr. Lowell Smith. Mrs. Bingham gave an address of welcome in Hawaiian. Dr. Hyde by request of Mrs. Bingham was in charge of these exercises. He called upon Judge Judd, Mr. P. C. Jones, Rev. O. Emerson, Rev. W. Westervelt; Rev. E. G. Porter, a young Chinese teacher, Mr. Ban, a Japanese, Rev. S. Desha, Rev. Nawahine, and a Gilbert Island teacher; for speeches, which were all happy in expression and met with cheerful response. Intersperse was selected, music by the Theological Students accompanied on the piano by their instructor, Mrs. Hyde. Also singing of Hymns in which all joined. Closed by singing "In the Cross of Christ I Glory." As evening drew on the company broke up, all ready to say, that they were taking away pleasant remembrances. Cornelia A. Bishop, Recording Secretary. Punchbowl. IRead at Oahu College, June 19th, by Ellen Bit knell. I We take pleasure in printing the following essay, by a young student*of Oahu College, both as a specimen of the scientific work being done under Professor Lyons, and for its great intrinsic interest. Punchbowl was so named because its circular shape and the crater in the top give it some resemblance to a great bowl. Being situated directly back of Honolulu, Punchbowl is a familiar sight to all, and many have been to the top to see the beautiful view which it affords. Standing on the summit, one can see for miles about him in every direction. In front the town, harbor and the ocean are seen, at the left Waikiki and Dia- �62 mond Head, to the right the Waianae mountains in the distance, and to the north Nuuanu and Pauoa valleys and the mountains. Altogether it is a view at which few can -keep from exclaiming in admiration. Under the supervision of the government a good carriage road is being made around the inner edge of the crater and running in a long, easy grade down the east side. It reaches the plain just beyond Lunalilo Home, when, turning to the south, it joins a street. Before long the townspeople and tourists will be able to enjoy the beautiful view without first having to undergo a toilsome climb. A drawback to the full enjoyment of the drive may result from the fact that the soil is soft and deep, so that it will be impossible to drive fast. Though many persons have climbed Punchbowl, doubtless only a few have thought to examine at all its geological structure, so that even a very meagre and imperfect description may be of some interest. Punchbowl is a tufa cone, whose highest point is about 500 feet above the level of the ocean. Like nearly all tufa cones, the sides of Punchbowl are steep; almost everywhere they are thickly covered with lantana bushes, making it uncomfortable to stray far from the paths. When disintegration began, the loosened particles were carried by the winds and rains from the steep slopes to the level plain. But in the bottom of the crater the decomposed rock remained, forming a soil so deep that a small forest of algaroba trees is growing well in it. A few weeks ago, some boys discovered what they thought were fossil shells. Investigation, however, showed that they belonged to the shellfish so commonly eaten by the natives, and that there were tell-tale bits of charcoal close by, the remains of a fire at which they had probably been roasted. No doubt the shells had been taken there by natives, and it may be only a few years' ago, since there was also found with them the flint of an old musket. A short distance below the flagstaff is the entrance of a cave. It is said that in, old times the natives were in the habit of placing their sacrifices on the ledges around this cave, because they believed that the spirits came up through it. It is to this practice that the hill owes its native name, "Puuowaina." How far in the cave extends and whether it was formed by nature or by man I am not able to say. The side of the hill just beneath it had been cut away to make the road, and had raised the opening so far above our heads that we were unable to reach it. The point on which the flagstaff stands differs from the rest of the crater in consisting of genuine lava. Some of this is compact and highly crystalline, and THE FRIEND.

Christianity somewhat of its former prestige here. It is beginning to be mooted in our magazine literature whether Protestantism possesses permanent elements of success as a missionary force. There are indications here both in the present status of our Hawaiian churches and in the comparative feebleness with which our Protestant agencies cope with the problem of evangelizing the non-Christian elements in our population that, in the minds of certain writers, of the Canon Taylor class, are proef positive of the decadent influence of Protestantism as a missionary agency. But we, who are acquainted with the situation, know well enough that this condition oT things is not indicative of inherent weakness in our religion but rather of a woeful absence of adequate forces to give proper impact to the power of our faith. There should be no disheartenment because there is so much about us needing to be done that is not being done. Protestantism having made signal triumphs in these islands that have thrilled the world, is not going to flicker out now like an exhausted candle. What it has done is the measure of what it can do, and what it must do toward the redemption of this land for Christ. It is puerile to say or think that the power which has wrought such changes here in the past sixty years is not equal to the task of coping successfully with the altered conditions of Christian endeavor now. Our Protestant agencies need to be rehabilitated, not superseded. The present movement to introduce new missionaries into this field, so auspici- ously begun, is indicative of an aroused sense of obligation; and in the light of the historical development of Christianity, the arousal of the sense of obligation for work needing to be done has always been the precursor of a definite advance and triumph of Christian forces. When Christian conscience is fairly awakened to the pressure of obligation, evangelistic enterprises in every direction feel the impetus and flow of new life. Let us look anew at the- obligations pressing upon this community and upon this Society as a missionary organization. These obligations are known to us all, none being present this evening who have not in greater or less measure felt their burden, bnt it is well that we look at them once more as we pause for a moment at the threshold of another year's outlook. There can certainly be no greater obligation resting upon us as our inheritance from the past than that we should see to it that the conquests of other years are not lost through default. It is essential to the integrity of Protestant missions the world around that the scenes of former triumphs of the Gospel in the Hawaiian Islands should not become the scene of signal defeat. The obligation is a very strenuous one that the successes of Protestant endeavor in sionaries was sufficient to justify the the past should be conserved in the in- sacrifice and life-long devotion of those terests of the human souls who are to be fearless men and women, the opportunredeemed and sustained in Christian liv- ity bequeathed to us to take up the ing.

It is only necessary in this connection to call attention to the.gradual disappearance of the causes which have led to this condition of things, and to the evident ushering in of a better era of confidence and good feeling. It is specially opportune to give play now to those kindly sentiments which characterized the days when Hawaiian church-life was at its best. A neglect to meet the obligation which the present opportunity offers, may, and probably will, seriously endanger the state of religion in all our churches, foreign as well as native. The reflex blessing of a good deed done is not more sure than the reflex damage resulting from an obligation not met. I do not need to emphasize these obligations, for they are recognized and their urgency realized by the membership of this society. I call attention to them anew that the spirit to meet them, which is abundantly apparent, may be stimulated and sustained by a consideration of the sources of inspiration which are included in this inheritance of responsibility. And first, I would direct your attention to the inspiration which should come to us in the thought that in a preeminent sense the work of evangelizing Hawaii nei is our work. I do not mean by this the work solely of this society, nor in the best sense do I mean by this the work of any organization here at the islands. Rather, I mean the personal responsibility and service of Christian foreigners. In the arrangements of God's Providence he has brought it about that there should be residing in the Hawaiian Islands at this time of special evangelistic need, a body of intelligent men and women, of like faith and purpose with the early laborers here, who are ready to assume obligations of no mean proportions and to sustain every wise gospel effort hy gifts and prayer. In God's Providence we are here, many as heirs by blood, some as heirs by the will of God, and being here, and being, as we trust, obedient unto the call of our inheritance, this is our work. This, indeed, should likewise be our inspiration. There is an ownership in obligation that is its own stimulus. For there is back of such obligation a tremendous pressure that, if we do not meet the responsibility which appeals with peculiar force to us, no one else is likely to feel the force of the appeal in anything like the same measure, nor can they, in any event, meet the obligation so advantageously and with such prospect of success. By a manful acceptance and discharge of responsibilities •peculiarly our own, we shall attract help from others. So much then is dependent on our attitude toward the resumption of missionary effort among Hawaiians, so much is possible in behalf of the race by faithfulness on our part, and by a dup recognition of the extent and bear- ing of our responsibility that we ought the facings of his character and influence to feel within us the promptings of a on Gospel effort at home and abroad. high and holy enthusiasm. The marching orders of the Christian church are, "Disciple all nations." In this vast undertaking Christian strategy plays its part, but this evidently does, not mean that the vantage points are all in the midst of dense population or on continental shores. No finer display of missionary strategy lights up the horizon of Christian conquest than the advent of the early Christians on the coasts of Britain. Isolated, barbarous, and apparently powerless to affect the destinies of the world, Britain might easily have been neglected in the onward movement of Christian zeal. The world is propelled by ideas. The heroism of missionaries on islands in the Pacific has electrified the Christian world and given propulsion to mission work such as most roseate tables of statistical growth in India or Turkey or China have been powerless to accomplish. A drifting canoe-load of Micronesians in whose hearts the Gospel of Christ has found lodgement is picked up by a passing vessel in mid-Pacific, carried to Asia and thence to America on their way back to their island home, affording an illustration in their daily demeanor of Christian fortitude and faithfulness that has been rarely surpassed in the annals of Christian dynamics. There is inspiration for us in the thought that, relatively, Christian effort in these islands is so important and essential to the world's salvation. The commercial and political importance of the Hawaiian Islands is out of all proportion to area and population. Recent complications in the Pacific have lent fresh emphasis to the fact that this importance hinges-on location. It is this fact which likewise makes these islands so essential to the progress of Christian ity in the world. A comparative!}' small outlay of missionary funds and of missionary forces can be made to preempt this land for Christ to the end of time. A sustained and aggressive Christian faith and practice in this mere speck on the bosom of the broad Pacific makes itself felt wherever steam or canvas carries men over the sea. There can he- One Christian life nobly lived here makes its pulse-beat felt on-every ship that leaves our shores, in every port where the white wings of commerce swell, in the teeming cities of inland China, in circles of Japanese diplomacy, in the city that looks out on the world through Golden Gates, in the lone islands to the west and south, in prosperous Australia, in distant mission fields where weary hearts are nerved to fresh endeavor by the story of faithful occupancy of consecrated soil, in the quiet homes which supply the means and men to sustain the effort for the world's redemption. In our limited population the relative value of individual souls in its bearing on the character of our civilization, and on the redemptive work of Christianity abroad in the world is so great that it should lend inspiration to every laborer in the vineyard. What may be done in the way of begetting Christian hope and purpose in one heart here, is equivalent in the total effect of Christian influence to a like result in the hearts of ten in inland China or Japan. A Christian community of twenty thousand in India or China or Japan does not begin to measure the value and influence of such a community in this highway of the nations. Our inheritance of responsibility is great, but the sources of inspiration are more than adequate to hold us to the highest type of constancy in Christian endeavor. Let no evil spirit of pessimism rob us of our birth-right and defraud us of our blessing. HAWAIIAN ALMANAC & ANNUAL FOB 188©.

Dr. Dwinell at the Wednesday evening prayer-meeting, on the unhappy affair of the day before, appeared so fitting and instructive, that we requested him to expand them in writing, as he has kindly done in the following paragraphs: It has long been observed that a plant or tree that is vigorous aud full of vitality is not so likely to be attacked by parasites or disease, and when attacked is not so easily overcome as others. Roots in a good rich soil and fine dressing and culture are the best security against the enemies of the garden and of the farm or plantation. The way in which the recent civil disorder in this city has been thrown off by the community shows the vitality of its civil and political institutions. Governments whose roots do not go down into the intelligence and virtue of the people, and that do not rest on a public sentiment of law and order, respect for property and personal rights, when assailed by political adventurers and that element in society that feels it has nothing to lose and everything to gain by revolution, must take the consequences. There is no inherent energy in them instantly to rise and throw off the menace. The factions must be left to fight it out, not along the lines of law and order, or the public good, or of the rights involved, but of partizanship, personal ambition, and often of their own mad passions and lusts. The trouble begun, no one can tell when it will end. It may become Number 8. chronic, and the whole civil condition political revolution.

Southern Polynesia. Schooner Twilight, ) Easter Sunday. ) > As our voyage is beginning to draw to a close, for we crossed the liquator into our own Hemisphere about breakfast time, 1 am going to redeem a long since made promise and tell you something about the islands of the Southern Pacific. Unfortunately bad weatherhas very much detained us, and 1 have only been able to visit Tahiti and two of our own islands. We sighted Tahiti on Thursday, seventh of March, but the bad weather was just beginning and we could really only just catch glimpses ofit through the clouds every now and then. On Saturday we tried to run into Papeete, but although only about 10 miles off at 6 a.m., and Tahiti is 7,321 feet high we could see nothing whatever. Hoping, however, that it would clear up we still went on, but one blinding squall set in after another and finally it fell calm with a very heavy sea running, during which we drifted on to one of the fringing reefs, and although we could not have been a quarter of a mile off the beach and the light-house at Point Venus, nothing however, was visible, and it was dark enough for six in the evening. About noon we saw the green water close astern of us and we were rapidly approaching it-—both current and sea setting us on. Soon we were right on the reef but as there were no breakers visible as yet, we got one boat out and anchors ready, so as to be prepared for the worst, as we were utterly helpless. I once heard Mr. Spurgeon preach from the text, "Call upon me in the time of trouble," etc—this came to my recollection now in a very forcible manner, and I gave it to the Captain for his comfort also, and we both felt its truth, for presently as we were expecting to see breakers every minute a light land breeze sprang up and took us out of immediate danger, though the next eight or nine hours were spent in anxiously beating her clear of the reefs and into open water. The next day, Sunday, the weather cleared up, and all hands had a good rest, and our afternoon service was full of thanksgiving. On Monday the glorious yueen of the Pacific shone out in all its loveliness, green as an emerald, encircled with lines of white, foamy breakers on the coral reefs, and with innumerable waterfalls streaming down its mountain sides like chains of diamonds flashing in the sun. We presently welcomed the pilot on board, and were soon safely anchored in beautiful Papeete Harbor—after, as far as I was concerned, an absence of eight years. Here we heard a sad account of the damage done by the storm of Saturday (in which we so nearly came to grief), roads and bridges washed away, houses flooded, trees washed down, and the whole place a perfect wreck. The road to Fautawa, the beautiful country house of my friends Mr. and Mrs. Darsie, whose guest I was, had been completely washed away, the river having changed its course and cut a channel fully 10 feet deep right through the road, making it impassable except on foot through the adjacent bush. Later on, however, bridle paths were cut and we were able to do the two miles on horseback. You do not, however, want personal details, but some account of the present position of the islands. I was very glad to hear that a largely' increased interest in the higher things has been shewn by the natives of Tahiti, particularly during the last few months. Since my last visit, or. the departure of my friend the Rev. J. L. Green, the London Missionary Society has transferred its work to the French Protestant Church. Mr. Green had labored for twenty-two or twenty-four years, first in Tahaa, one of the Leeward Islands, and then in Tahiti, and retired for a well earned rest. I learnt in Papeete, however, that he has girded liimself afresh for the fight and gone out to Dcinerara, to exercise a kind of Episcopal oversight of the churches in that Colony. Tahiti is now divided between three French Pastors. M. M. Vernier and Vienot, who have lived in Papeete for many years, the latter gentelman devoting himself principally to educational matters, and the former being Pastor of the large native church in Papeete, this church answering in some degree to your Kawaiahao, only smaller—unlike Kawaiahao, however, it is generally densely crowded. Monsieur Dr. Pomarez lives at the eastern end of Tahiti, and the native churches which are verynumerous and largely attended, are more or less under the oversight of these three gtntelmen in what I imagine is the true or earl)- episcopal sense. Mons. Brunn, who has lived for many years in Moorea, the adjacent island, only separated from Tahiti by about eight miles of sea and reefs, is still doing good work there. The recent storms and the one which followed on lfith March were, if anything, more destructive in Moorea than in Tahiti and during my stay various subscriptions were started, one headed by the French Governor, and another raised by the church of which M. Vernier is pastor, for the relief of the suffering people. M. Vernier himself went across in the little steamer to distribute the material aid thus collected in the shape of food and clothing, and on his return on the day I left Papeete he gave me a very sad accpunt of the destruction and suffering. One great feature of interest in the religious life of Tahiti, is the earnest study of the Bible, which has recently sprung up. M. Vernier gives out (1 believe weekly) a text of scripture for study, and when a trinity of these is complete, he gives one which sums up [August, 1889. or illustrates the meaning of the whole, the people in the various districts gather weekly or oftener for the prayerful consideration of these scriptures, and occasionally adjacent districts will visit each other for still more enlarged sion. I consider this as a very hopeful sign. Mrs. Darsie has taken up this Bible study in a very earnest manner and is doing a large amount of good in this and other ways. As she fills very much the same social position in Tahiti that the late lamented Mrs. Bishop did in Honolulu it can be easily understood that her influence for good is very powerful. I do not think I am violating the confidence due by a guest when I mention the morning family worship on the Sunday I was at Fautawa—all the servants gathered together in the drawing room, and as soon as Mrs. Darsie and her children were seated, one of the young men servants rose, read a chapter, and then offered a very earnest prayer. It was very pleasant; the whole household bowing at Ihe family altar, while their devotions were led by a servant, and yet, as Philemon was, 'a brother beloved.' Mr. Darsie always conducts morning family prayer in English. I understood from Mrs. Darsie that all the servants, and they are probably over a dozen, are with one or two exceptions, earnest members of the Church and also of the Bible Classes of which I have told you. She has built a large house close to her own beautiful place, especially .for these services, and here they meet on Sunday afternoons and evenings, all going in to M. Vernier's church in the morning, weather permitting. The natives flock from far and near to the evening meetings, and I believe Mrs. Darsie conducts them. She has also translated a little daily text book into Tahitian, and has had a large number beautifully printed in England, and they are I know very highly valued. Would that her example were more largely followed, and that wealth and social position were more often looked upon as talents to be consecrated to the service of our Lord. As far as I could learn, the Roman Church is not making much if any progress in .Tahiti. A new CoadjutorBishop has arrived during my absence, who is likely tfl infuse more life and energy into the work of the church, as his colleague is well advanced in years. I was told the new Bishop is a Jesuit. The diocese is a large one, embracing all the South-Eastern Islands of the Pacific. As a rule the Roman churches are fully as numerous as the Protestant; one in each village, and they are much liner buildings; the difference in attendance and membership is, however, very strrking. The Roman Cathedral (I never add Catholic, as that is too grand a word to attach to any one commu nion) in Papeete is a fine building, no, far from the pjiglish Protestant onet �Volume 47, No. B.] THE FRIEND. and with a tall steeple. The old Roman Bishop is reported to have told his flock on one occasion, probably at the consecration service, that when God came down to earth He would be sure to go to their church first, because He would see it so much sooner. The story may he, and probably is, apocryphal, but if true one cannot but 'admire the Bishop's liberality in admitting by inference that God would come to our church at all. He was the prelate who once wrote to Mr. Green asking him to reserve for him some Tahitian Bibles out of the next shipment from the Bible Society, probably the only letter of the kind that has ever been written. The Dotray Bible has not I think been translated into Tahitian, and so this book is the one of all others valued in the South Pacific, I suppose the Romanist Tahitians have larger freedom allowed to them than is the case elsewhere. My impression is that the new Bishop may not be quite so liberal. The position in the Leeward Islands Huaheine, Raiatea, Talma, Bora Bora etc., is not satisfactory; only one English missionary, the Rev. E. Y. Cooper, ot Huaheine, remains out of about ten or twelve in the early days, and fiveeven in my time of visiting the islands. Mr. Richards who was at Raiatea, died a few months ago, deeply regretted by everybody. I do not know the intentions of the London Missionary Society as to this old and successful missionary field; the present seems an unfavorable time to hand it over to the French Protestant Church, as since the withdrawal of England from the joint protectorate the natives are vainly struggling for their independence of France, and loss of life has occurred on both skies, causing naturally considerable ill feeling, i hope, however, when peace is secured, though this can only he by the submission of the natives to French rule, that, if as it seems most likely the French missionaries will succeed the English, they will be men of the same earnestness and devotion as those who have so long given themselves to the work in Tahiti—certainly they are wise not to go there under the protection of the guns of a man-of-war. The natives of the Leeward Islands have hitherto absolutely prohibited any Roman priests from landing there, but I fear now they will not be able to prevent them. I feel very sorry for the position of the English-speaking population of Papeete, as they are really 'sheep without a shepherd;' they have a very nice church, about two-thirds of the size of Port Street, but without the lower rooms; but since Mr. Green left they have no minister. The London Missionary Society of course considers its work is with the natives, but usually in ports like Papeete the missionaries also do what they can for the foreign residents, of course in a purely voluntary way; and for the last forty years, I suppose there has al- — ways been an Engli h or Bethel church in Papeete. The present building was erected by the earnest efforts of Mr. Green, the beautiful pulpit or platform of Tamanu and other native woods having been presented by Mrs. Darsie, at a cost of over $. >oo. M. Vernier holds a service in I'rench once a month, and this is the only opportunity for worship, except when an occasional visitor arrives. Having been privileged lo take the service once or twice before, M. Vernier and other friends asked me to do so on this visit and I consented, subject to the weather allowing any one to venture out. On Saturday night, March HI, however another storm broke over the island and continued until Sunday afternoon; the wind blowing with almost hurricane force- -nothing like it has ever been known; the town of Papeete was strewn with large Burau trees that had been uprooted —the streets were in most cases impassable, trees in falling having uprooted fences and taken houses down with them also; and although on Monday morning French soldiers were called out to open up the roads, when we left on the Friday they had not been able Up to 3 to fully complete their .work. o'clock on the Sunday afternoon we kept discussing the chances of any congregation being able to 'assemble— the storm presently, however, began to abate and I determined to go in at all hazards —being much stimulated by the sad condition of the people, and that they might not have another English service for a year or more perhaps, and also by Mrs. Darsie telling me that on my last visit in 18N1 I had preached from Ist Epistle St. John, Ist Chapter, Hth and 9th verses. After dinner, at about 7 o'clock, the weather being much finer, I started in, accompanied by the two daughters of my hostess and a servant with a lamp to lookout for holes in the road and for fallen trees. It was a long two miles, and when we got into the town itself the fallen trees across the roads reminded me in the darkness of the barricades in Paris of which I had recently been reading in Victor Hugo. We had to climb over and through these as best we could, especially through two very large ones that had fallen close outside the church, and had in fact carried away some of the fencing with them. Truly this was going to church under difficulties. On arrival we found the church lit up and a good number of people assembled and quietly waitingfeeling that I was late 1 looked at my wa,tch, but it was still a few minutes before the time—half-past seven, and I learnt afterwards from M. Vernier that some of the friends had come before daylight was over so as to avoid the fallen trees and other obstacles, and to ensure safety. Of course a good many of the regular congregation could not come on account of the weather, but the fact that I have mentioned of so many r 65 having assembled an hour or more before the time of meeting, so as not to miss the opportunity of united worship, says a good deal for their earnest Christian life, and how much they deserve the care of a regular pastor, and is at the same time my only justification for having entered so much into matters of personal detail. I cannot say much' about the other groups.of the Southern Pacific, as I have not visited them lately. F.ngland has recently annexed the Hervey group and Niue, islands in which I am much interested, as from them we draw supplies of labor for our Guano and Cocoanut Islands, and also on account of many pleasant memories ol visits paid to them at various times. On one occasion, in 1881,1 was entreated by the natives to use all the influence I had in England, or as the Rarotongans and Mangaians put it to me, "speak Queen Victoria, get her to take our islands, and not let French come;" with the Hervey Islanders the French were most feared, with Niue, on account of its vicinity to Samoa and most naturally the Germans. I am sure that the best interests of Christianity and of the islanders will be served by the good work done last year by Captain Bourke in H. M. S.Hyacinth at the Hervey Group, and by Admiral Fairfax in H. M. S. Calliope at Niue. One of the objects of my cruise has been to visit Caroline and Flint, two of our cocoanut Islands near Tahiti, and curiously enough when I arrived at Caroline on March 2nd, I was able to announce to the two Niue boys, and two Mangaians, who had been there as caretakers for over 3 years, that their wishes had been fulfilled, and that they as well asmyself were.now subjects of Queen Victoria. It did my English heart good to see the joyous light flash into their eyes, and the hearty way in which they received the good news of being free from either French or German domination in future. Shortly after the deportation of King Malietoa from Samoa by the Germans, I was talking to a young German baron in San Francisco about these high handed proceedings, and he replied, we are only following in the footsteps of England. I could not but admit past national errors to some extent, but said we had turned over a new leaf, and that Germany should follow that, and nottheone that had been turned downand closed, and in Sir Charles Dilke's article in the Fortnightly Review on the present position of European politics, he uses the following words almost conveying the same idea "I suppose it is useless to speak of the rights of the native inhabitants of the countries which are'annexed by France, looking to our own past; it does not lie in the mouth of an Englishman to do so. But, we may hope that when the historian of the future comes to deal with the times in which we live, he will point out that England in this �66 THE FRIEND. respect grew better while France grew of every one engaged on the side of worse." order.

We greatly honor the Vac Aina and the Kuokoa, which have wisely and steadily led the people in ways of good counsel, and we honor the Hawaiian people who have listened to those counsels, and not to the virulent declamations of their evil advisers. Wilcox's persistent refusal to surrender, with his officers disabled, his men slipping away, his whole force helpless and demoralized, indicate that he felt sure of a powerfnl uprising in his favor after nightfall—and it is possible that some kind of rail}' might then have been But nothing is made to help him. that the plainer than great body of the natives were very far from any inclination to assist him, notwithstanding the fact that he was understood to be working to reestablish their supremacy in the persons of their chiefs. Few things have been finer than the quiet and gallant way in which the gentlemen of the Rifles and their volunteer friends took their stations in the face of a thoroughly armed and rather desperate enemy. This is especially true of the squad of picked sharpshooters in the Opera house, which was the chief post of danger. The front of the Opera house is a sorry sight. It is nicked all over by rifle shot and grape. Windows all shattered and doors riddled. A shell hole in the roof, another in the main door, another through a shutter, all which burst in the rear parts of the building. F"or a short time the little band up-stairs were in a hot place, and some of them were close grazed by bullet and grape shot. The men never slacked their fire, nor wasted ammunition. With eye true and hand steady they swiftly picked off the men serving the guns, and soon silenced them entirely. It was quick and neat work, and done in the face of a heavy fire of shell and grape that poured through their windows, stormed upon the front, and exploded behind them. Only amateur soldiers though. We were on Fort street, anxiously awaiting the result of Mr. Damon's attempted parley with the insurgents, when the sharp rattle of rifle shots an- derly thankful for the absolute immunity the native people, by the less reputable nounced a work of death begun,- The �Volume 47, No. B.] 67 THE FRIEND. waiting crowds surged into commotion. Then came the heavy reports of the field guns again and again and again, telling of the enemy's immense superiority in arms. Swift closed the shutters and doors on all the stores, and men ran in every direction. A slight lull, and again the crack of rifles, and the banging guns, and so on for a time, after which onlyrifles were heard, quite intermittent. Other rifle parties held Kawaiahao steeple, the Hopper house, Hotel Stables, Coney house, and Wundenberg house, all overlooking the Palace yard, and peppering anything in sight. The Wundenberg party had a close and commanding position, and soon quite divided the work with the Opera House. The enemy got a gun trained on them, but every man who tried to fire it they shot down. By noon all the enemy were driven into permanent hiding. The Cabinet and their friends made head-quarters at the station-house, with a machine gun at the door. Through the afternoon the public waited for the end, with now and then a shot or two to tell that an enemy's head had been seen. Near sunset a fusiliade of rifles set in quick and strong, and then the sharp peport of dynamite cartridges flung on the bungalow roof by a ball-pitcher's arm. This went on for half an hour, and we heard the welcome cry of"white flag." The Rifles poured through the open-gate and soon marched out with their prisoners for the Station house. Poor desperate, doomed Wilcox Poor wounded, misguided Boyd and Markham ! Poor misled suffering Hawaiians ! They have futilely combined to overthrow one of the best and most beneficent civil systems in the world. The claims of Justice upon them are stern and stringent. Our people's liberties and lives must be protected. Is there any escape from the necessity of severe examples ? Our government is strong and secure, more so than ever —but one of its nrost painful and arduous duties yet lies before it, and before the community. To all appearance, the insurrection was a most idiotic one, in its concepti n, in the means employed, and not much less in its execution. Wilcox seems to have had very few drilled men. His followers were a rabble. He must have relied on accomplices outside to support him, possibly on some in very high position. If all were known, some of his apparent brainlessness might be ex- • plained. It was because he was so very destitute of adequate means or force that no effective guard was made against him, and he was able to inflict such an absolute surprise upon the city, and so distressing a one. Surely the Lord has our beloved little land in His gracious keeping. "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper." Te Deum laudamus ! Hon. S. M. Damon, our well-known citizen, and a leading banker, takes the portfolio of Finance in the Cabinet, to which he contributes the strength of high personal and business reputation. He comes to an overflowing Treasury, yet one that needs very prudent and careful handling. His accession is at once followed by a new measure, that of reducing the rate of interest paid by the Postal Savings Bank, whosedeposits are mountFrom ing up to an unexpected sum. November Ist, only A]/2 percent will be paid. As this small reduction will hardly serve to check deposits, we shall not be surprised to see a reduction follow to four per cent. We trust that our public credit will soon become and continue so good, that no fresh loans need ever be made at more than four per cent. This will be only, however, as the better elements of society shall continue to predominate. All believers receive of Christ's full- ness; the greatest saint cannot live without him; the weakest saint may live by him. The Gospel is not a clenched fist, but an open palm. The parent who would train up a child in the way he should go, must go in the way_ he would train up the child. Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace ot the city, and the security of the State. Keep your conduct abreast of your conscience, and very soon your conscience will be illumined by the radiance of God. There were two notable suicides in Europe, one of a Crown Prince, and the other of a private adventurer. Well may we note, that in the case of neither princes nor knaves, neither in high life nor low life, is there any alteration in the old schedule of the wages of sin. Rudolf of Hapsburg and Richard Pigott had fairly earned their wages, and all who apply can be paid with the same certainty.—lndependent. Do the duty that comes first; you know not what rich experiences it may blossom into. Would you win success in life ? Always do your very best. God and time will do the rest. Personals. We are pained to learn that Rev. Dr. L. H. Gulick of Shanghae has been compelled by nervous prostration to retire for a while from his many labors at that post. Dr. and Mrs. Gulick were at last accounts sojourning at "Rural Health Retreat," St. Helena, Cal. Rev, Thos. L. Gulick of Paia, Maui, returned about the beginning of this month to his church and work there, after a visit of six weeks at Kohala, somewhat improved in health by his visit. Rev. Mr. Forbes, who sailed with his wife by the Morning Star on the Ist, to reinforce the Ponape Mission, is a brother of Mr. H. (). Forbes, a well-known naturalist, who was in Batavia during the Krakatau eruption, and who is the author of "Wanderings of a Naturalist in the Eastern Archipelago." Rev. Mr. P'orbes was educated at Aberdeen and P2dinburgh Universities, taking his Theological course at Montreal. The Pastor of Central Union Church is taking his annual vacation at Waikiki beach. Mr. Westervelt supplied the pulpit with great acceptance on the 14th and 21st of July. Dr. Dwinell on the 28th. Rev. Israel E. Dwinell, D.D., has been for five years Professor of Homiletus and Pastoral Theology in the Pacific Theological Seminary in Oakland, Cal., and previously for twenty years the pastor of the First Congregational Church in Sacramento. Prof. Dwinell is most favorably known in the Theological world as the author of many forcible and discriminating papers on Doctrine and Biblical Criticism. His discourses are especially acceptable to thoughtful hearers. Dr. Dwinell will supply the pulpit of Central Union Church during the rest of the vacation of the pastor. Mrs. Coles, who came to Honolulu by the Star on her last voyage, returns again. The Woman's Board of Missions having appointed her as their missionary. Her destination in the field has not yet been fixed. It will probably be Ponape or Ruk. With these let us pray that the spirit of Christ may go to sustain and approve and comfort them in all their deeds. Monthly Record of Events.

The Call which Comes from Kona. 69 very little well directed effort will not only fill their stomachs, clothe their bodies, and put a comfortable roof over their heads, but also put money in their pockets, and this is proven by the fact that so many of the population are forehanded. In a late tour through this district I met a man driving a donkey laden with delicious pine-apples to the nearest port, for shipment to Honolulu. Asking the price of them they were ten cents a piece, but as a favor he sold me six for a half a dollar. Surely, thought I, where the purchasing power of the dime is so small the touch of poverty cannot be greatly felt, for even in Honolulu after all charges have been paid, one can buy the same fruit for ten cents a piece. But allowance must be made for the illogical nature of the Hawaiian mind. Much has been said of the growth of heathenism in this district during the last few decades. But what is more natural than that where the seeds of heathenism are not yet quite extinct, they should begin to spring up, and, like the pernicious lantana seed to cover the land, when it is left to itself? Sad as it is, the very fact that, in the lack of better and more influential guidance, this people have shown a tendency to relapse into heathenism, is to our mind a more hopeful sign than if they had just settled down into blank nothingness.

The sun's rays traversed horizontally a vastly less extent of the atmosphere; consequently other colors being but partially intercepted, less red was exhibited than in the Krakatau glows. In fact, these are not properly to be called "Red Sunsets." Finally the twice-reflected rays having travelled so much shorter a distance, retained force sufficient for a slight but definite third reflection of the red rays only, they reaching farther than the others. The above is written before the arrival of any foreign mail by which we could learn of a probable cause to which this remarkable phenomenon may be owing. Punch Bowl Road. The road to the top of Punch Bowl Hill is nearly completed. In all there is a drive-way of 17,200 feet or 3.27 miles. This is divided into the North and South approaches meeting at the "Saddle," of 4,200 and 4,600 feet respectively; then 2,200 feet from the "saddle" to the "Gap," which is along the steep eastern side of the hill, and is scarfed into the rock, with a high outer wall; then 3,400 feet around the North and West inner sides to the carriage stand; then 060 feet of the "Loop" around the rock-pile; and finally 2,200 feet back to the "Gap" across the south side of the interior. The road touches three higher points of the upper rim, viz., on the North-east, the South-west, and the South from which full views are obtained without leaving one's vehicle. To the North and North-west, good views can only be obtained by leaving the road. Doubtless a branch road will be made up to a point on the North-west. The highest pinnacle is about fifty feet higher thanthe road. In this lofty point now made so accessible, we have a natural height of observation, practically equal to the Eiffel tower for Paris. It immediately overlooks the central parts of the city and the harbor from an altitude of 490 feet. It gives a near birds-eye view of the fine eastern plain, with its streets and residences, to Punahou and Waikiki beach. Inland the panorama of mountain and rich valleys is superb. A great revelation awaits anyone who has not seen Pauoa valley from these heights. To the North-west again is the great panorama of Palama, Kalihi, and the route of the Oahu Railroad. The road is 20 feet wide; the grade is a very gentle one, from three to four feet rise in the hundred. Your horse should trot up the whole distance. The panorama is constantly changing and growing as you rise. We risk nothing in predicting that this road will be constantly used, the summit will at once become a favorite resort, and the whole will be one of the leading attractions of the city. �Volcanic Formations in the Vicinity of five degrees. It had probably been a fissure, and was filled with an entirely Punahou. different By Hattie G. Forbes, Oahu College. Every one knows what the view is from Rocky Hill. Most of us are contented with turning our admiring glances from Diamond Head, along the expanse of blue ocean with its fringe of cocoanut trees and Punchbowl on guard over the city, to the cooling green of Manoa Valley and saying, "How beautiful it is!" But we do not give much thought as to how the valley, Round Top, or Rocky Hill were formed. I have found this a very interesting subject. There was once, hundreds of years ago, a long mountain chain running from one end of Oahu to the other. This mountain was like Mauna Loa in shape and slope and had craters at different points, one of them being where the head of Manoa valley is now, and what is now the highest point was one edge of the crater, only much rock. From a place were sand has been dug out we have a good chance to study the formation of the gravel. It varies in color from black to yellow and white, and it is laid down in strata of these colors. We find long stalactite-like projections, which look as if they might once have been roots, and may have been formed by the action of water on certain constituents of the gravel. Although shells are to be found in this gravel it is evident that they were left there by human beings, as they are kinds from which the natives eat the fish. It is proved by coral rock near here, that the ocean was not far off and the place may have been inhabited by natives who cooked their fish on the shore. To confirm this theory, ashes are found mixed in with the gravel, also kukuis of ancient date. Now examining the Rocky Hill formation, we find the rocks are quite porous, very different from those of Round Top, and in some places look almost as fresh as the lava thrown out at the present day. The fossil shells which Prof. Lyons found there recently were imbedded in a white kind of limestone which had formed in a crevice of the lava rock. It is supposed that this limestone was formed from a fine volcanic dust which settled into this crevice little by little, and that the shells dropped from trees and shrubs growing near. During all these volcanic disturbances there were earthquakes, probably much harder and more destructive than are now experienced, so that we may be thankful we were not living in this vicinity then. In such a case "Distance lends enchantment to the scene" indeed. higher. After a time the crater became apparently extinct, and erosion began its destructive work down this side of the mountain, until not only the crater was worn away but there was a great valley, about a mile wide, gouged out.

We had one hundred extra copies printed, which were all bought up early. The aiticle was reprinted in the August number of the Paradise of the Pacific, which we believe can still be obtained of the publishers. A great number of warm commendatory expressions have reached us, and not i whisper of any adverse feeling. In fact, our whole community seems to have been in a state of very hearty disgust at the absurd craze into which many people in England and America have been led about certain fictitious merits imputed to Father Damien, and of indignation at the slanderous charges of neglect of the lepers by this Government. The only approach to censure we have encountered, was for having been too moderate, and having suppressed so much that might have been said. All, however, have recognized the necessity of reserve in speaking of one who is gone, and who with all his faults may be regarded as a very benevolent and devoted man. The N. Y. Independent has kindly adopted our statements, and sent them forth under its own editorial authority, having doubtless been fully advised of their correctness. The Christian Union carps at the strong official evidence we adduced, and makes no concessions, as it might easily have done, having evidently had no information from reliable sources. If people in England and America cannot recognize the numerous exam- ples of exalted heroism so often displayed at home and abroad, and need to fashion an idol for worship out of the distorted imaginations of fanciful and 71 The Friend. unscrupulous correspondents, they will We repeat that this work of caring fur doubtless do so, regardless of anything the physical needs of the lepers has beer. that can be said by people here, who well done —and that Father Damien's know just what the facts are.

" �THE FRIEND. 72 Narrative of a Visit to Brazil, Chile, Peru and the Sandwich Islands, during the Years 1821 and 1882, by Gilbert Farquhar Mathison, Esq. London, 1825. CHAPTER XIII. VOYAGE TO THE SANDWICH ISLANDS, AND RESIDENCE AT WOAHOO. June 25. * * At two o'clock p.m. we could plainly distinguish the huts, canoes, and persons of the natives on the seashore—some employed in fishing, others in mending their nets. The shipping and smoke of Hannah-rourah, the capital of the Sandwich Islands, soon after came into view, and the approach of some boats and canoes kept us all in a state of agreeable excitement. At three o'clock we anchored in the roadstead, and received visits from several American residents. They assured us that no danger was to be apprehended from the natives, with whom they had been accustomed to live upon the most amicable footing, and that some missionaries and their families were likewise established here. Mr. Jones, the American Consul, kindly offered me accommodation for the night, which I accepted, and immediately accompanied him upon shore, leaving my fellowpassengers, who were less eager and impatient, to follow the next day. Upon landing we were immediately surrounded by a mob of men, women, and children, who pressed forward to shake me by the hand, and eyed me with great apparent curiosity. They were all dressed an naturel, or nearly so, with nothing but the maro, a cincture of cloth made from the paper-mulberry tree, round their waists; their cries were most discordant, and the clatter of women's tongues not the least audible. I afterwards found out that they were settling a nickname for me, in allusion to some peculiarity in my dress or person. * Having � ' * * thus encountered their jokes on first landing, I went with the Consul to the palace of the King, if such a term can be applied to a grass hut, floored with mats, and only distinguished from the rest by a few cannon placed about it, in terrorem. Imagination had pictured the monarch sitting in the midst of his chiefs with dignified composure, his interpreter on one side and secretary on the other (for he really has two such officers); and as the subject of a brother king, I anticipated a most gracious reception. What then was my astonishment on entering the royal hut! "Oh, majesty! Oh, high ambition, lowly laid!" The royal beast lay sprawling on the ground in a state of total drunkenness and insensibility. On one side of his head was extended an enormous sow, which every now and then gave a grunt, as if in sympathy with its master; and upon the other side sat his Queen, an immense woman, like,him, almost in a state of primitive nudity, who seemed [Septmbr, 1889. endeavoring, though in vain, by her but it was evident that she had gone too caresses, to assuage his beastly trans- far already. She did not hesitate to own ports: a few chiefs and domestics, in all her frailty, indeed, and said that as her about twenty, completed the group— some asleep, others fanning away the flies, and singing the wildest and harshest lullaby that ever saluted mortal ears. We then passed into another room belonging to the head Queen; who, though equally large in her person, had a benevolent and pleasing cast of countenance. She was dressed in a loose robe of FLnglish chintz, and to my delight, was engaged in learning to write, which she had only attempted within a few days. She showed me her performance on the slate with great eagerness; and well she might, for the letters were by no means badly formed. I then underwent, as on my first landing, a thorough examination, during which her Majesty often laughed immoderately, and ended her remarks by saying that I was a mere child, and had no beard. The ground part of the apartment was matted, and the walls hung round with mats, and a large and handsome mirror on one side, and upon the whole had a comfortable appearance; though the furniture, comprising several Chinese chests, a mahogany table, and three matted bedsteads—in addition to the living furniture, comprising her Majesty the Queen and her numerous attendants, who lay extended on the floor in different attitudes, and kept up an incessant singing sort of noise—gave to the whole scene a truly fantastic character. Mr. Jones accommodated me at night with a bed in his hut, and introduced me the next morning to the other American residents, who were all sea-faring men, and had come to this place to carry on a trade for sandal wood. We then paid a second visit to the King, who had by this time recovered a little from the debauch of the preceding night. He shook me heartily by the hand, and was pleased at hearing that I was an saying that his Islands belonged to the King of Great Britain, to whom they had been formerly surrendered in Vancouver's time, by his father, old Tama-hama-hah, and desiring me to apply to him for anything I might want during my stay. He afterward said that he was too much intoxicated to talk with me any longer at the moment, but hoped to be sober in the course of a few days, and in the meantime would have the Queen to do the honors of the house. We were ushered accordingly into the inner apartment, where a third lady, whom 1 had not yet seen, presided at a table which groaned under the weight of bottles of wine, and almost every spirituous liquor. I immediately drank her health in a glass of wine; but she, to my great surprise, pledged me in a good tumblerful of gin, and quaffed it off at one draught as if it had been husband had been enjoying a drinking- bout, she had a right to take the same license herself. She then began to tumble about the room, and sing, or rather utter, discordant cries after the fashion of the country, until I could bear the sight no longer, and turned away in disgust, lamenting the beastly excesses to which the human creature is carried in a natural and unenlightened state. The mere arts of civilization and intercourse with liuropeans are evidently insufficient to elevate the character, or correct the immoral habits, of men in such a state of society. This is reserved for an infinitely more powerful and influential cause, namely, the Christian dispensation; and who then, that had witnessed such a scene in life as I have here cursorily described, but would feel most anxious to impart the blessings of Christianity to these rude islanders? So thinking, I directed my steps to the dwelling of some American Missionaries, who had arrived a few months ago, and my visit was altogether most gratifying. Their house, a little distant from the village, is built of wood, brought with them ready prepared from America, and is sufficiently large for the accommodation of four missionaries, with their wives and families; of whom the principal, Mr. Bingham, seemed very active and zealous in the discharge of his missionary duties. Three English gentlemen were on a visit to them; namely Mr. lvllis, a missionary from Otaheite, and Messrs. Bennet and Tyerman, sent out by the London missionary society to inspect all their different stations. They had taken advantage of an opportunity which offered from Otaheite to visit the Sandwich Islands, and were agreeably surprised to find that a beginning had been already made in the work of propagating the Christian religion among them. Mr. Ellis found the language analogous to that of the Society Islands, with which he was perfectly acquainted; and having brought some converted natives from thence with him, their united exertions proved of great use to Mr. Bingham and his associates. Mr. Ellia gave me much interesting information respecting the past and present state of Otaheite and its dependencies. The efforts of the Missionaries have at length been attended by success; as a proof of which he said the King, with the greater part of his subjects, are now not only good moral Christians, but sufficiently well instructed to be able to read the Gospel and other religious books which have been translated into the language of the country, and they cooperate zealously in the propagation of Christian knowledge among the adjacent islands. With regard to the Sandwich Islands, water." The fourth and last Queen was next it ci nnot be expected that any beneficial introduced, and made a similar libation; result should be perceived in the short �Volume 47, No. 9.] space of a few months after the arrival of the missionaries. It is enough that a beginning is made, and facilitated by several favorable circumstances, of which the following is the most important; namely, the previous abolition of idolatry. Upon the King, * meanwhile, depends in a great measure the nominal conversion of his subjects, for many of them have repeatedly told the missionaries, that before they can attend earnestly to the new religion, they must have the King's express declaration in its favor. The chief obstacle to its progress is perhaps the enmity and unchristian conduct ef the F-uropean and American residents, who are most of them directly or indirectly opposed to the cause of religion, as well from their habits of life, as because they perceive that when the natives become instructed in useful knowledge, their own mental superiority will cease, and with it the attendant influence they now possess. But these evils cure themselves; already has the bad conduct of the whites prepossessed the Sandwich Islanders against them, and their influence will no doubt dailydecrease, in proportion as the march of religious civilization advances. June 27.—This day I again visited the King, who lay as usual on the ground, in the costume of a common sailor. He was surrounded by sixteen Chiefs, sitting on chairs, and newly dressed in blue nankeen clothes which had just been brought from China in an American brig. Some displayed watchchains, and all seemed very proud of their new dresses, particularly as they were a present from his Majesty. They shook me by the hand very cordially, and with an air of most consequential satisfaction. The principal Queen was engaged within the hut with Mr. F2llis in learning to read and write. The favorite Queen lay on the ground by the King, like him in the fashionable dishabille of the island. The swine too, which I had before noticed, were still in the apartment, and quietly reposed not far from their Royal master and mistress: so much for the beauty of a state of nature! * * * The prospect which presented itself from the verge of this hill (Diamond Head) was not less beautiful than extensive: a small but fertile plain ten or twelve miles in length, tarrowplantations, cocoa-nut and other trees, and uncultivated moss-ground, interspersed with villages and cottages.

He said that whenever an industrious person brought more land into cultivation than was necessary for his subsistence, or reared a good breed of pigs or poultry, the chief, on hearing of it, had no hesitation in making the property his own.

He was a Spaniard by birth, and spoke English remarkably well. He gave me some wine made by himself from a grape grown in the country, which he had been the first to introduce. He showed me his farm-yard, and grounds adjoining, stocked with a herd of fine cattle, the only cattle in the island, and with goats, pigs, poultry, and pigeons, and some horses of an inferior South American breed, of his own importation. He had several plantations of tarrow and sweet potatoes in the interior; and besides the vine, was endeavouring to cultivate other vegetable productions, such as the cotton-tree, maize, pease, beans, etc. Of all he showed me samples; some I had seen successfully cultivated elsewhere. He spoke much of the fertility of the soil, and assured me that if the natives could by any means be forced into habits of regular industry, they might turn the whole country into a garden, and export cotton to China. He entertained no hopes, however, of such a change. I remarked that it might gradually be brought about by the influence of religion on their minds and moral conduct, which he did not appear to understand; nor was he disposed to depart from the prejudices of his associates against the Missionaries, to whose exertions in the work of civilizing these people he was evidently opposed. As a trader and farmer his industry, sobriety, and good management, were highly meritorious, and it would be well for the country if there were more such settleis in it; but in other respects, his mind soared very little, if at all, above his Indian neighbors. I attended Divine Sunday 28th. service, and heard a very good discourse delivered"!))- Mr. Bingham. Not many of the white residents were present, and but few natives. Kaahumanu, one of the chieftainesses, and a sister of Coxe, who had distinguished herself sometime before in burning the few remaining idols and destroying every vestige of idolatry at Owhyhee, was specially invited, and had promised to attend. A sudden whim, however, seized her to go to Whyteete; and there she spent the day bathing, and playing in the surf with a host of equally frolicsome companions. — >;: * * * Monday, 29th. —Upon visiting the King to-day the house really presented a novel and interesting sight. At least thirty natives of both sexes were present, most of them, the King and his Queens among the rest, engaged in learning to read and write. * * Mrs. Bingham's school, containing upwards of fifty pupils, is already far enough advanced to give a satisfactory assurance of ultimate success. The young Prince, Kau-ke-oule, heir and nephew to the King, about 12 years old, is one of the most promising scholars; and the importance of giving him such an educationas may render his government beneficial to the whole community hereafter, is very sensibly felt by his instructors. * * * August 10.—On the afternoon of this day, having taken in all our freight of sandal-wood and made every preliminary arrangement, we finally left Woahoo and the Sandwich Islands. It was jpolicy, perhaps after all, which led Tama hama-hah to encourage the priests and their religion. Their assistance helped to strengthen his power, and the abject fear thereby created in the minds of the people was constantly turned by him to their mutual advantage. Arbitrary measures, on the ground of religion on the one hand, and slavish, reverential obedience on the other, were thus rendered habitual to both parties, and no one dared to resist the united authority of church and state, enforced by a King of acknowledged courage and abilities. The last dying words of Tama-hamahah to his son, enjoined upon him the protection of foreigners, and the cultivation of a friendly intercourse with all nations. He pointed out their great superiority in the arts both of war and peace, the riches and consequent advantages which an extended commerce with them would" confer, and the opposite evils which were likely to follow disagreements with such powerful ad- versaries. This arbitrary system is a sad hindrance to the prosperity of the tenant; for if he be disposed to be industrious, and bring his land into good cultivation, or raise a good breed of live stock, and becomes rich in possessions, the Chief is soon informed of it, and the property is seized for his use, while the farmer loses the fruit of all his labors. * * Murders and robberies accompanied by violence are absolutely unknown. The word of a chief in the Sand*wich* Islands may be relied on, and their minds have, from some cause, acquired an elevation or conscious sense of superiority. This is discoverable at first sight in their gait and manner; and in stature they are, with few exceptions, much taller than the common people, and consequently much respected by them. * * 1 have been informed that during the last eighteen months from 35,000 to 40,000 peculs of sandal-wood have been sent to Canton, which at the rate of ten dollars per pecul, the usual price, brings into the hands of the King and trading chiefs a clear receipt of 350,000 or 400,000 dollars, paid in goods bearing that nominal value. * How far the use of ava, which formerly prevailed but is now in a great measure discontinued, might have been attended with still worse consequences (than the use of gin) is an inquiry that cannot easily be answered. • ISeptmbr, 1889. Hon. H. P. Baldwin is about to purchase an organ for the Makawao church. The Tramcars are becoming a great convenience, and will soon seem an indispensable necessity, like the Telephone. The Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Dwinell returned home per Zealandia on the 34th. They had greatly endeared themselves to our church people. We have been mentally and spiritually enriched in a high degree by Dr. Dwinell's ministrations, both in the pulpit, and in the prayer-meeting. The Inter-island Telegraph Cable is in progress. The section across Molo- kai channel is in working order. A slight hindrance has occurred in laying the Oahu channel section, of fort}' miles. We may expect to "be speedily in free communication with our friends all over the windward islands. Oahu Railroad is preparing to give us all rides very soon. Sleepers and rails are piling up at the terminus; a strong force of graders are closing the gaps between this and Kalihi, where a fine bridge is in place. Moanalua bridge is building. Thence to Aiea, nine miles, the track is mostly graded. The tremendous growth and expansion of the Pacific States and British Columbia points to an early date for the laying of Pacific cables via Honolulu, and to the establishment of at least weekly steamship lines. I-A-erything is booming over there. Honolulu must soon be "in the swim." In fact, we are already feeling the electric impulses. Our venerable friend Mr. E. Bailey favors us with a letter from Tacoma, W. T., en route for Alaska. "This new, crisp, and lively town which has set itself down on the steep bank of the straits which commence here and extend along up the coast for a thousand miles or more." What a future dimly reveals itself for that long sea-channel that reaches to where the northern ice first touches the Pacific. We took our folks, babies and all, to the top of Punch Bowl on the 23rdThe road was rather heavy, not being rolled, but otherwise mostly in good order. We drove down in less than fifteen minutes, and with no less sense of security than on Nuuanu Avenue. We congratulate the residents of this city, and all visitors, on so delightful an addition to our enjoyments and sources of attraction, as this facile means of access to one of the noblest of panoramas. The ever-changing and enlarging views on the ascent are very fascinating. One of the sweetest things is the sudden vision over the splendid Pauoa greenery as you come up on the inland outlook. -Who has got a fine fancy name for that delicious natural balcony? �Volume 47, No. 9.1 In view of the active progress and growth of all material and mental civilization around us and among us, nothing could be more fatuous and idiotic than for a set of discontented natives and half-whites to attempt to overturn our improved Government, and to ievert to old heathen, despotic ways of administration, No winder that the King could not see his way to join in such a movement. With all its iniquity, it partook of childishness. To our minds, no great severity in called for in dealing with the actors in this foolish emeute. Some penalty is called for, but w; are in favor of great leniency, especially to the subordinates. Indeed, the leader:; themselves were like a set of foolish cattle dashing against the locomotive of modern progress. They got badly smashed up. For the rest of their punishment let them oft mercifully, as the United States did the rebels in 1865. It should be borne in mind, and un doubtedly is borne in mind by our authorities, that this blind emeute was largely stimulated by a certain sentiment which, if wisely directed, is most honorable and praiseworthy- the sentiment of Nationality. The Hawaiian loves his country and his race, and has a reasonable pride in it. He cannot be blamed if it deeply pains him to see the power, once in the hands of native chiefs. largely passed over into the abler hands of white men. Although this is inevitable, and for the best interests of all parties, it is nevertheless somewhat grievous to the Hawaiian. Many of them, especially o( the half-whites, necessarily do take this deeply and genuinely to heart. For this reason, it has been the policy of the government always to favor men of the native race, where at all competent, in the distribution of official positions. We think that these feelings should be especially considered, in estimating the guilt of the insurrectionists, and in dealing with them. We do not regard them as having acted from a mere desire for pt wcr and pelf, but also from a strong though not a just sense that the natives had the right to hold the controlling power. It does not seem wise, therefore, to ignore this "national" feeling as an element in determining their guilt. The sympathisers and actors in this unhappy affair need to be educated rather than punished, and their crushing defeat is an education. 75 THE FRIEND. We ask especial attention to the closparagraph of Mr. Beckwith's dis- ing use on the insurrection, as given on ninth page. Now is the time that all good men should be incited to do iheii utmost in behalf of the Hawaii,ti. people—to uplift them, to enlighten them, to st. y the progress of their decimation, to make them sharers to the full in all our prosperity. If any have felt a momentary resentment because the sympathizers in the late insurrection are chiefly Hawaiians, let all such feeling be put away. Let a spirit of cordial regard prevail, and hearty sympathy with these kind and true-hearted people. How much our civilization and prosperity owe to Hawaiians for their free and cordial co-operation with all true and friendly foreigners. And we need their help now. We need all the aid and accordant action that can be had, from the native people. Let us bestir ourselves, in all active and friendly exertion in their behalf. We never cm Gorget or be insensible to the long and affectionate attachment of the Hawaiian people. May nothing be allowed to alienate it. ci OUI Our venerated father in the Church, Rev. Dr.* James R. Boyd, has been called to a brief separation from the.beloved paitner of his life. Dr. and Mrs. Boyd are affectionately remembered by their many friends in Honolulu. Our sympathetic regard is extended to Mrs. A. F. Judd, to whom comes this added bereavement after the death ofher sister, Mrs. Stuart Dodge. Mrs. W. W. Hall hastily embarked on the Zealandia on the 21th, in order to reach her son Horace, who had been dangerously ill at Minneapolis with pneumonia. At last accounts, he was better, and will probably return with Mrs. Hal! to Honolulu. In experiments by Drs. Mairet and Cumbermale, a clog was coupled with a drunken partner. Of six pups born three only were living, and of these all wen. dull and stupid. One of them, when grow n up, was in turn coupled with a healthy partner. Of the three grandchildren then born, one had congenital disease of the spinal cord, one a deficiency of the heart and the circulatory apparatus, and the third was an instance of generally arrested development. The results among people are found to be similar. Beware of marrying a habitual drinker, orthe son of a drunkard. High—Churchism Disparages God. Catholicism is but colossal individual- ism. God's grace is too rich to be con- fined to any one channel, too boundless to be bound to councils or coteries or oiders of men, infirm and fallible like all their kind. It is a position capable of the clearest historical proof to"affirm that the higher the theory of the Church the meaner the conception of God, or that the grow ih of High Church doctrine is always coincident with the decay of the highest theistic belief. An absolute or infallible church means a limited God, a God whose working men condition, whose grace they regulate and distribute. The more worthily churches think of Ciod, the more will the}' feel the fallibility of all their popes and pastors. The more infinitely good and gracious He seems, the less will they feel able to claim to be his sole and adequate representatives. The vessel magnified is the M. Fairbatrn. treasure Apart from all disputed points of no one practically doubts that our I ord lived, and that he died on the criticism, Cross, in the most intense sense of filial relation to his Father in heaven, and that he bore testimony to that Fathers providence, love, and grace towards mankind. The Lord's Prayer affords sufficient evidence upon- these points. If the Sermon upon the Mount alone be added, the whole unseen world, of which the Agnostic refuses to know anything, stands unveiled before us. There you see revealed the Divine Father and Creator of all things, in personal relation to his creatures, hearing their prayers, witnessing their actions, earing for them and rewarding them. There you hear of a future judgment administered by Christ himself, and of a heaven to be hereafter revealed, in which those who live as the children of that Father, and who sutler in the cause and for the sake of Christ himself, will be abundantly rewarded. If Jesus Christ preached that sermon, made those promises, and taught that prayer, then anyone who says that we know nothing of God, or of a future life, or of an unseen world, says that he does not believe Jesus Christ.

Emerson, 77 THE FRIEND. - Editor, From the Chinese Recorder of July, we learn that Dr. Gulick had been very low indeed at Kumamoto. At last accounts he and Mrs. Gulick were staying in Oakland, Cal., with Mrs. Sturges, their old associate in pioneer work at Ponape. It is understood to be not wholly unlikely that they will revisit the Islands. A warm welcome would meet our former Secretary after twenty-three years absence from his native land, spent in arduous labors in Italy, Japan and China. students to get food. Class work, if not at first altogether prevented, was much broken into, and at last inevitably relinquished. The appeal made by Mr. Kobinson, based on statements culled from private letters, although a great surprise to all the 1.. M.'s missionaries, was none the less most opportune, and, in enabling us to carry on our higher education work, most useful. The results of that appeal, consisting of 15 tons cwt. rice, 3 tons sugar, 1 cwt. potatoes, 20 tins (50 pounds eactl) biscuits, 20 tins, (50 pounds each) flour, and a case of provisions have been already received. We are further advised that 40 tins biscuits, and 5 cwt. rice are now on their way here in the Society's ship Harrier. Hon. C. R. Bishop, previous to his return, remitted a donation of $1,(10(1 to Dr. Hyde to be applied towards the proposed new buildings of the North Pacific Mission Institute.

There ore no difiiculties or obstacles compared to those within the Church itself; and these are a want of spirituality, of consecration, of a sense ofresponsibility and of devotion to the great work of soul-saving. The great need now, as it was when our Lord went up from Olivet, is a Pentecostal baptism. The sails are set, but the breeze which now flaps them so idly needs to freshen into a gale. The machinery is all ready, but it waits for the fire which shall make every band and wheel throb with life. Only the picket line of the Lord's countless hosts are on duty.

O Breath, that we may have life, and that we may have it more abundantly! H.N. Hamum, D.D. By a number of straws twisted together, elephants can be bound. The Bible is a cheerful book. Those who wrote it, were for the most part, cheerful men. God endures us when we offened him; let us endure him when he tries us; endurance is one of the names of love. There is no liberty to men whose passions are stronger than their religious feelings; there is no liberty to men in whom ignorance predominates over knowledge; there is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves. God has special care of the aged. When the grasshopper is a burden, and the windows are darkened, he opens their way to other worlds. If they have grown old in religion, he sends his angels to await their translation. It is good to join with the angels in ministries of kindness.

Now the long and toilsome duty, Stone by stone to carve and bring; Afterward the perfect beauty Of the palace of the King. Do not be discouraged at the duties that seem so great before you. They may seem great a little way off, but, somehow, they always diminish or vanish altogether as we come near them. Some one has said duties and difficulties are like the nightmare—as soon as you stir they vanish.

We all understand the kind of thing which is meant by people who talk of Muscular Christianity. It is certainly a noble and excellent thing to make people discern that .1 good Christian need not be a muff (pardon the sbmg term: there is no other that would bear out my meaning). It is a fine thing to make it plain that manliness and dash may co exist with pure moralit] and sincere piety. It is a fine thing to make young fellows comprehend that there is nothing line and manly in being bad, and nothing unmanly in being good. It is a splendid combination, pluck and daring in their highest degree with an unaffected regard. In religion and religious duties; in ahorl muscularity with Christianity. But there are folks whose admiration of the musculrr is very great; but whose regard for the Christianity is very small. They are captivated by the dash and glitter of physical pluck: they are quite content to accept it without any Christianity, and even without the most ordinary morality and decency. They appear, indeed, to think that the grandeur of the character is increased by the combination of thorough blackguardism with high physical qualifications; their gospel, in short, may be said to be that of unchristian muscuI confess that larity. I cannot find words strong enough to express my contempt and abhorrence for the theory of life and character which is assumed by the writers who describe such blackguards, and by the fools who admire them. And though very far from saying or thinking that the kind of human being who has been described, is no worse than disagreeable, I assert with entire confidence that to ail right thinking men, he is more disagreeable than almost any other kind of human being. And Ido not know any .single lesson you could instill into a youthful mind which would be so mischievous, as the lesson that the muscular blackguard-should be regarded with any other feeling than that of pure loathing and disgust. A man consists of bod) and soul, and both would be in ideal perfection if the soul were decidedly Christian and the body decidedly muscular.—Every Day serving on committees.

The Insurrection. British Progress. "I Will Wash." From a discourse preached by Rev. E. G. Beckwith, 1). I)., in Central Union Church. August 23d In Mr. Gladstone's icview of Knland's recent progress, it is asserted that for one child born to conditions of crime to-day there were ten, and perhaps twenty, lift) years back; slavery has been abolished: poor law abuses swept away: a disgraceful criminal code reformed: mine and factory scandals greatly reduced; good schools have been placed within reach of the entire people; savings banks brought to the doors ol'tin poor; information has been diffused; grievous inequalities in taxation removed; the condition of the working population improved fifty per cent.: vast and various injustice tv nonconl'oi ousts swept from the statute-book; shameful disabilities in regard to women obliterated; many unrighteous privileges of few made the right of all; the interests of 250,000,000 of Hindus more fullyregarded; frightful injustice to Ireland diminished, though not yet removed: crime, brutal amusements greatly reduced, and the efficiency of christian and other benevolent work greatly augmented; so that the Englishman most competent to judge is of the opinion that men who have lived sixty years and are living now "have lived into a gentler time: that the public conscience has grown more tender, as indeed was very needful: and that in matters of practice, at sight of evils formerly regarded with indifference or even connivance, it now not only winces but rebels, that upon the whole the race has been reaping, not scattering; earning and not wasting. In the last fifty years the Knglish mind has been greatly liberalized and humanized. Macaulay has led the Knglish people to re-read their history, and revise the old Tory verdicts on great men and great epochs. Darwin and Huxley have given the theology ot the nation and of the age some facts and theories which have led to new and better statements of truth. Thomas Arnold and his pupils have given a higher tone to Knglish education. '1 hackeray has exposed the follies of high life and punctured many a wicked pretension. George Elliot has shown the seriousness of human existence, and portrayed, with unrivalled artistic power, the working of the all pervading moral law. Charles Dickens, by his broad and genial humanity, and his hatred of all cruelties and shams, largely contributed to the amelioration of humau sorrows and the hi caking down of the walls of unchristian feeling. Cobden and Bright raised the artisan class to a position both of personal comfort and political power never before reached. Gladstone has led the progressive elements of England to a score of victories, and made class rule a future impossibility. It is significant that the time of this moral advancement has been the time when the churches have added to their numbers as never before in the history of Christianity.— J. H. Barrows, D. D. The editors continue to poke fun at the performances of the modern quar tette choirs. This piece, which has been floating around among our exchanges for some time, is a sample: 'Off started the nimble soprano with the very laudable though startling announcement, ■! will wash.' Straightway the alto, not to be undone, declared she would wash. And the tenor, finding it to be the thing, warbled forth he would wash. Then the deep-chested basso, as though calling up all his fortitude for the plunge, bellowed forth the stern resolve that he would wash. Next a short interlude on the organ strongly suggestive of escaping Steam, or splash of the waves, after which the choir individually and collectively asserted the firm, unshaken resolve that they would wash. At last they solved the problem, stating that they proposed to 'wash their hands in innocency, so will the altar of the Lord be compassed.'" Michigan Advocate. : Our happy city has had a day of terror. Our peaceful streets have heard just a little of the sound of battle. Our quiet citizen's have had an hour's dread of mutiny and massacre. Our defenceless homes have had a wear. night of watching in fear of the torch and of pillage. And all from the wrath of a handfull of plotting and perjured men, rising up in their rage against the right for the overthrow of law and order. For that was what they wanted, the oh! regime of spoils and corruption back again. They had lost their clutch upon the nation's revenues by the new order of things, just as Sennacherib lost his extorted tribute when Judah came back to decency and duty. And it angered them.

We have lifted them up a little way into the light of Christian civilization, and then have left them to grope their way alone. And the onlymarvel is that they have not groped more blindly, as they will, if. the) are not taken more closely into our Christian sympathy, and taught more persistently the things that make for peace and prosperity. Its our only safety, the regeneration of Hawaii nei. And so the echo ol that day ot terror seems to me God's summons to us to put ourselves into the closest possible sympathy with this dear people; to pour out our prayers for them; to consecrate our activities to them; to devote our wealth to their enlightenment, to spare no love, no time, no money, no men, that may be needed, for the speediest, and completest evengelixatiori of all this Hawaiian people. Let us listen to it so, and in a little, by the new love that will bind them and us together, and by the better manhood into which they will have come, and the perpetual peace we shall have in all our borders, we shall understand right well how God makes the wrath of man to praise him.

Human companions are better than divine companions carved out of the fog. To worship such gods is as impossible as to warm one's self by the Aurora Horealis. of to day. Where the open Bible has not gone, there to-day is darkness illimitable. Where that Bible has gone, partly open and partly closed, there is a dawning of the day. And where it is an open Bible and a free page and a well read one, there is the illumination of civilization. We hear much praise of the illumination of the nineteenth century. Is there no nineteenth century in China? Is there no nineteenth century in Turkey? In India? In Siberia? In Russia? Hang the map of the world there before you, and look at it. All China dark; all India dark; all Africa black with darkness; gray lines �on Russia, where there is a half open Bible; gray lines on Italy and Spain, where there is a half open Bible; and the tints growing lighter and lighter as the pages of the Bible become more open, until at last you reach England arid America, where the hands hold aloft the open Bible; and there, and there only, is there the light of our boasted nineteenth century —the light that streams, not from the book, not from the lid or cover or printed page or any such thing, but the light that streams from the living Christ.—Lyman Abbott. The Civil War could never have been fought to its successful issue but for the deep and divine emotions which found expression in such a hymn as the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." The nation that had no religion could never have sung that hymn; and the nation that could not sing that hymn could never have endured Vicksburg and Antietam and Gettysburg and the Wilderness. Kxpediency would never have had force enough to set the enslaved free. It will not furnish force enough to close the liquor shops, or to promote the equalization of wealth;-or to harmonize the strained relations between employer and employed; or to thwart the scheming politician, break the power of the machine, purify our elections and banish bribery and corruption from the polls, or to establish a just and merciful prison system—or in a word, to do any one of the things which this nation must do, not only to fulfil its true function in the world's history, but even to preserve its National life. Secularism never carried a nation through any great crisis or crowned any nation with the crown of a great achievement; and it is safe to prophesy that it never will.— Christian Union. We have previously referred to some of the replies to Canon Taylor, but the following, taken from the London Record, is decidedly the most pungent of any we remember, to have seen: Sir: Canon Tavlor, in the Fortnightly Revieie, judges, by comparison of expenditure with results, mission eliort to have failed. He counts non-Christian people at i1'20,000,000, and estimates the annual outlay for their conversion at £•..',000,000; that is £1 for each 400, or rather more than an annual half-penny a head. Yet he says, "Clearly there is no lack of men or means." friends abroad may justly take umbrage that their souls are estimated by him in value at I-457 of the value of the folk of Settrington! I omit, to preserve to simplicity of the compailson. such other factors of the equations as the enormous difficulty of the task of christianizing people out of heathenism contrasted with keeping Christian a parish christianized so many centuries ago. It is, indeed, humiliating to enter into such statistical contention with the clergyman in question. But he has appealed to figures and statistics; to figures and statistics he must go—Sun sihi hnne glaiio fu/rulo. GSOMI F.nsor. 80 THE FRIEND. WOODLAWN DAIRY fe STOCK COMPANY, MILK, CREAM, BUTTER.

No doubt many Christian people have supposed that the Hawaiians having been Christianized, had entirely put away the worship of idols and heathen gods. Any serious reflection would show them that this could not possibly be the case. In the nature of things it would be impossible that the ancient religious belief and practices of any people could be extirpated at once. A belief in the powers of the aumakuas, unihipilis, and the various gods and demi gods of heathenism is inwrought into the mental constitution of the Hawaiian. He inherits an aptitude for such a belief, a deadly proclivity to it, from uncounted generations of heathen ancestors. Besides this hereditary proclivity, he absorbs the firm belief in these things from the people around him, from his earliest infancy. Superstition is propagated through the ordinary conversation of the household, whose thoughts run on such things, and the child imbibes it into a disposition naturally welcoming it. In view of these conditions, it is not strange that most Hawaiians continue to be more or less under the dominion of superstitious fears. It is not strange that the great majority of them, as alleged by Mr. Bicknell and others who know them intimately, turn to these evil powers in time of sickness, and in the hour 01 death, when the mind is feeble and the soul faint, instead of seeking unto the living God and Savior. It is indeed a wonderful triumph of of idolatrous fears, as we relieve and build him up. It looks as if personally know to be the fact in very now we were at least getting at an inmany instances.

He was still more specific when he said, "How hard it is for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God"! It is not necessarily an evil to become rich, as many of our old friends have done and are doing. It entails hea-vy burdens and responsibilities, and great anxieties; but it may be so handled as to be a source of great and elevated satisfactions. Riches become a deadly evil, when one trusts in them, as we fear most rich men do. How few wealthy men are there among us who would not count it one of the greatest of disasters to become poor in this world's goods. What a minority of them, who do not look down upon those not rich in worldly estate, however richly endowed otherwise. Such men manifestly trust in their riches. Another token of trusting in riches is in clinging to them, and making it a first object to save and amass, instead of using them for the public benefit, and especially for the kingdom of Christ. It is a sad and pitiable spectacle to see a man to whom God has given a blessed opportunity and ability to set forward by his money good work of all kinds for the help and elevation of his fellow-men, thinking of little else than how to keep his money and increase it and enrich his heirs, who are more likely to be ruined by wealth than benefited. We think no man can feel so horribly poor as a millionaire when he wakes up in eternity with no treasure invested in heaven. His treasure was all here, and he has lost every cent. He serit nothing on ahead. We are comforted to know that some of our rich men, dear aged Father Bond among them, are above worshipping their money, and are putting it "where it will do the most good." Letter from Rev. A. H. Smith. Piang, Chia Chuang, Shantung, 1 China, July 1, 1889. J Dear Mr. Bishop: We are glad to hear that the project so long talked about, to have a new missionary force put into the Hawaiian Islands, has really come at last to some practical head, in spite of all the talk about it! We pray that much wisdom may be given to you all to know what things not to do, as well as what need to be done. The regular visits of the Friend have given us a good deal of welcome information about the island matters, in which I think we are not likely to lose our interest as long as we live.

We found about fifteen pawhat fearful extend unbelief had grown, tients at the Mission house here in a ■undermining church and state and the large airy ward, kept with great neatfoundations of society. This resulted ness. Mr. Ando has done a noble work in united efforts centering in Berlin, in organizing this and other hospitals where numerous societies sprang up in connection, to meet the want of positive religion in a city with very few churches for a population of one and a half millions, so that 70,000 to 135,000 souls belong to one parish. This movement has been much intensified in the last five years. Inconsequence of the new life, Missionary spirit has come to many circles formerly reluctant to appreciate the importance of foreign missions. The old societies of Basel, Barmen, Leipzig, Hermansberg, Bremen being all built on a thoroughly international basis—as of course the Gospel is always international—did not include the obligation, that wherever the German flag was unfurled, evangelical Christianity should be preached and taught by word and example to the natives, or all who chose to reside within the boundaries of the new evangelical empire. A colonial mission —though not in name, but in fact— was inaugurated by the German East African Missionary Society. There are at Berlin already two well known Missionary Societies, viz., the Berlin Society for Preaching the Gospel to the Heathen, which works in South Africa and China, and the Gossner Missionary Society, which works among the Kolks in India. It seemeed questionable whether the religious life of the German capital could bear a third or even a fourth society, when Kaiser Wilhelm'l Land, Bismark Archipelago, and Marshall Islands, after German East Africa, came into consideration. But as the German Oriental Seminary increases facilities for educating young theologians in the missionary service by teaching them the heathen languages of their fields at home, as the deaconesses of St. Lazarus were before, sending their sisters, some of the highest nobility, to their hospitals at Zanzibar and Dares Salam, there would be hardly any question about the Lord's will, and no hesitation in doing "it. As the evangelization of heathen countries largely depends on the Christian character of the white population, proper care shall be taken to preach to German settlers and organize them into congregations, so that in all parts of the globe foreign and domestic missions as twin sisters may be closely allied and work together.

[Septmbr, 1889. that it is essential to the future of our dared not encounter the displeasure of Chinese Immigration. Hawaiian civilization that any consider- the great body of their supporters. It is 'It is very difficult if not impossible high time that these pastors were effect- matter, to discuss the Chinese question, without giving serious displeasure to some of the different parties whose interests are concerned, whether selfish or benevolent. ■ On one side are the work- classes, especially the skilled workers, whose livelihood is severely encroached upon by a people who unite a great aptitude for skilled labor with an unequalled capacity for parsimonious living, and subsistence at a minimum ol expense. On an opposite side is the interest of the planter and capitalist, who find a large profit in the abundant importation of Chinese labor. There are again the earnest Christian sympathies of those who are laboring to enlighten the Chinese with the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and who have learned to recognize and love the noble Christian manhood of many of His Chinese ing disciples. In tho presence of an active renewal of agitation upon the subject of restrictions upon the Chinese, we do not feel justified in remaining altogether silent, no matter whom we are likely to displease. It is a subject presenting many grave difficulties even to those who best understand it. People may well be pardoned for making serious errors respecting it. We earnestly deprecate acrimonious controversy, and bitter denunciation of opposing views. Yet we know that it is very hard for the working man not to be angry who sees his livelihood taken away by resistless Chinese competition, and his family straitened and distressed, because they cannot possibly live in comfort and decency upon earnings upon which Chinamen thrive and prosper. It is also very trying to those who long and labor for the social progress of the community in these islands to see civilized men of Christian training and ideas driven out of the country by the overcrowding competition of a pagan race who cannot assist in maintaining good government or civilized progress. We desire not to be behind .my one here in insisting upon a sacred regard to the personal and property rights of the Chinese already in the country. We would have all possible aid given by the government and by private benefactions for the moral and spiritual elevation of these interesting and very capable people. But we cannot help seeing able addition of pagan and unmarried Chinese males by farther immigration should be effectually prevented. This is urgently demanded in behalf of the social life of the natives. It is essential to the material prosperity of our white population, and of the natives also. It is for the material benefit of the Chinese now here, that they suffer from no further competition from China. And it is for the interest of Christian work among the Chinese, that we be not flooded by pagan immigration. Pastor's Aid Societies. The Secretary of the Hawaiian Board gives some interesting information as to the progress of these organizations. It is very cheering- it contains an element of great hope for the active progress of good Christian work in our feeble native We have been laboring, parishes. with as yet ill success and unfulfilled hopes, for the obtaining of a few able recruits for the emptied ranks of our old missionary army. As yet only one has come to help. It would appear, however, that we have not hitherto used all the means ready to our hands. It seems that a very moderate amount of money, judiciously employed to invigorate and stimulate the native churches in the support of their pastors, will be likely to impart a spirit of confidence and energy to these pastors, and make them far more efficient leaders of the people in their spiritual needs. The raising and proper application of even these moderate sums for pastor's aid, is necessitating a great deal of hard and self-denying work on the part of individual Christians who have undertaken it. We rejoice to know how earnestly some of them are doing it, and how much their own souls have been blessed by this diligent missionary effort, and close contact with the native Christians and their pastors. The two worst moral plagues infesting the native churches are social immorality and idolatrous practices. It is our belief that in most of the churches, the pastor is quite impotent to openly and actively make war upon these evils, however he may hate them. Why so ? Because he is entirely dependent for support upon the people who practice them. If he can feel that there is other resource for his support, and that a Pastor's Aid Society will not permit him to suffer for fidelity to the Lord's work, he will be greatly emboldened. It occurred lately on Maui that the Island Association voted down a strong resolution condemning supestitious practices. This was not because the pastors were not heartily opposed to those practices; it was because they ually placed in a position where they can wage vigorous war upon idolatry, and can work to enforce church discipline in the frequent cases of open concubinage in their churches. We hope to hear very soon that the Maui Organization is actively at work. Rev. H. E. Schneider, Ph. D., is now in Honolulu, on his way to Jaluit, in the Marshall Is. Dr. Schneider is pastor of the Eriedenshalle Chapel in Berlin, and has been devotedly and efficiently engaged in mission work in that city. He has also travelled in evangelistic work among Germans in the United States. It is his present object to inquire into the spiritual needs and opportunities of the German trading stations in the Marshall Is. He purposes also tt»-visit the German stations in New Guinea upon a similar errand. While detained here, Dr. S. is improving the opportunity by holding religious services in German in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, in the call to attend which, the German Consul, Mr. Glade has actWe congratulate ively co-operated. our German fellow-citizens on this happy addition to their spiritual advantages. We especially hope that Dr. Schneider's visit to Jaluit may be of great service in securing a removal of official antagonism to missionary work in the Marshall and Gilbert archipelagoes.

This dear and sweet-natured youth was greatly beloved in his church as one of her most pious and promising children. His teacher, Pres. Merritt, testifies warmly to his promise as a student, and how, "as a Christian boy, he was respected and loved by schoolmates and teachers alike." He had graduated at Punahou in 1888, had taken another year .of preparatory study and of music at Oberlin, and had been admitted to the Freshman class in Oberlin College. A very peculiar interest attaches to his case in the fact that, having gone to Oberlin with business life in view, and having chosen a course in civil engineering, Horace announced to his father in October, 1888, that "I have felt that God was calling me to go and work in his vineyard, in the uncultivated parts, and have prayed that he would show me his will in the matter; at length, after much prayer and wrestling with tiod, I feel that I have a personal call from him to be a missionary, to carry the precious Truth to perishing souls." This plan met with cordial approval at home, and he pursued classical studies with the sacred ministry in view. God, whose thoughts are higher than ours, has removed him from earth, and left broken-hearted parents, whom He will comfort and heal. Those whose children have died far away and with imperfect attendance can feel the mitigation of grief it is to these honored friends that their dear son was in the home of his grandparents, Gen. and Mrs. Van Cleve, of Minneapolis, where, in his severe attack of pneumonia, he received the most skillful and tender treatment, and most motherly and saintlyministering to the spirit as well as the body. He was apparently well advanced in recovery when death came sudden and unexpected from a clot in the heart. Our deepest sympathies attend the mother who had gone in hope to bring home her boy, only to meet the news of his death in San Francisco. Horace was a manly youth, as shown by his joining the Honolulu Rifles at the age of sixteen. He was but eighteen at the time of his death. We had all hoped much from his future course. May the Lord of the vineyard move many young heroic hearts to fill the vacant place in the ranks of his soldiers. Capt. Thos. H. Hobron. We are moved to especial notice of this decease not only as of an esteemed and honored friend, but as of a fellowcitizen of great worth and ability. Our acquaintance with Capt. Hobron began in 1853, when he was master of the clipper schooner Maria, which ran to Lahaina, and was about the first of the swift and comfortable packets of our roa«tincr iicci. fl#»*>t H» nc cn,.n soon hur'inii. uecame fVie me 83 THE FRIEND. proprietor of other vessels, engaged sucThe prosp .tive early development to cessfully in sugar-planting, and ulti- tin \.im i l.imiuliuli tract of choice land mately built the steamer Kiln uea Hon and would alone seem to confirm a brilliant the Kahului Railroad. Capt. Hobron was, like many sailors, somewhat versatile, but invariably successful in his enterprises. This was through sound foresight and thorough good work in all his business. He was of high honor and integrity, public-spirited, liberal in giving, and kind in personal ministrations. Kindly, hearty, sensible, shrewd, intelligent, Capt, Hobron was esteemed and honored by all, and his presence was a welcome one everywhere, although failing health of late years enforced great retirement. Honolulu can boast of a large circle of enterprising, honorable and generous men, yet can ill afford to part with one like Capt. Hobron. The Ewa Water Supply. We have received a copy of the admirable Report made by Messrs J. I). Schuyler and G. 1". Allardt upon the Water Supply for Irrigation on the Honoufiuli and Kahuku Ranchos, on Oahu. Mr. 15. F, Dillingham the projector of the Oahu Railroad, employed these eminent civil engineers to examine and report upon the aforesaid water supply. They found a measured flow of unused water running to waste into the Ewa lochs in large streams amounting to 170.11 cubic feet per second. An immense amount besides in small springs and streams could not be measured. This water nearly all emerges at or near the sea level, and would have to be pumped up in order to be used. This measured flow is sufficient to irrigate 7,000 acres of sugar-cane, and "we have no doubt that the supply can be increased to provide for 10,000 to 12,00a acres if necessary." Most persons will be amazed at the existence of such large bodies of water running to waste in Ewa. Besides this source of supply, these engineers find flowing artesian wells in the district which indicate the possibility of an equal additional supply from that source. They also find good sites for storage reservoirs which might be expected to irrigate from three to four thousand acres of upland without pumping. They report from 4,000 to 5,000 acres of sugar and rice lands on the Kahuku Rancho, which can be irrigated from artesian wells, with little or no pumping. This report contributes valuable and exact information obtained on Maui, as to the amount of water required by sugar-cane, which is a duty of 00 acres average for each cubic foot per second, or an equivalent of 144 inches of rainfall per annum, yielding an average of 3yj tons of sugar per acre. There is also most valuable informatoin as to cost of pumping and of storage reservoirs. A handsome colored map of the Ewa district accompanies the Report. prospect for the future of the Oahu Railroad. The contract for the new building of the North Pacific Mission Institute was awarded to J. Ouderkirk, whose bid was !?8,:527. Mr. H. W. Mcintosh has been engaged as Supervising Architect. The grading for the foundation is now completed and flaming will begin at once. It is expected to have the building completed in four months. About one thousand dollars more are needed to furnish the sixteen suites of rooms in the new building, to grade the whole lot, and to build a new fence on Punchbowl street. The new term of study begins October 7th. While the building is going up recitations will be held in the Session Room of Kawaiahao Church. Dr. Abel Stevens, writing from Yokohama, Japan says:"I have been inspecting the great Asiatic battle-fields, and I report the general conviction of both foreigners and intelligent natives here that the epoch of a grand social and religious revolution has set in in India, Burmah, China, and Japan—that this old Asiatic heathendom is generally giving way before the continually increasing power of Western thought and Christian civilization."

PORT OF HONOLULU.—SEPTEMBER. 6£ — John , �Volume 47, No. 10.] THE FRIEND. HAWAIIAN BOARB. HONOLULU H. I. 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. It is pleasant to note with how little talk the Pastor's Aid Society was formed on Kauai. We simply heard of it as in process of organization, and went and found it an actually achieved fact, and doing its beneficent work as smoothly and easily as if it had been an institution of long standing. The fact is the reasons for its existence were so urgent, and the conditions so favorable, that it could not help coming into being. On the one hand were the suffering, patient native pastors —their manhood in arrears for lack of being duly fortified with adequate material resources; and on the other hand were those who had the wit to perceive their need and appreciate its meaning as affecting the whole people. We think it was a far sighted wisdom, as well as a generous sensitiveness to fair dealing, that took this matter in hand. Not only are our brethren of the native ministry co-workers with us in the interests of Hawaii, and therefore entitled to be sharers with us in the unprecedented material gains of these days; it is even true, if we will but perceive it, that they stand between us and the ills we dread. They are the rank and file of Hawaii's forlorn hope. Let this consecrated band fail us, and we stand flanked by the enemy. In our fight with paganism we do well to enlist the native Christian and his pastor. If we would make headway against the ever uprising power of idolatry we must work through the native ministry. And we must have a strong native ministry. We must see that they go into the fight well equipped, and while there give them good support. There are those who do not look hope- fully on the work which the native ministers are doing, who even fear their power as often harmful. We are told that they are put into positions of trust which they cannot fill; that they have not the stamina for their work; that they soon lose heart, grow inefficent, and break down under the pressure of evil. Let us look at the facts. The young native pastor goes out from his seminary (as does every young minister) unformed in the sturdier qualities of the Christian leader. This scholarship is in need of being rounded out, and he must develop as a man among men with an approved position. He goes forth to his place conscious of his shortcomings, but hoping to work himself up on to the level of a larger manhood. What does he soon find out, and what is likely to be his first grievous surprise ? It is of the poverty of his surroundings and of the insufticency of his support. He gets hungry and his good clothes wear out. He finds that he must turn aside from the kind of life he had fondly, and in his ardor marked out for himself and work for the mere necessaries of life. There is no help for it; he must live the life of a common native. Like Peter, he goes back to his nets, or you will find him with a malo in a taro patch. The man feels his misfortunes. He may very naturally come to think that he is in a false position, and that he is being wronged. It looks as if his rich white brethren had forgotten him, as if they acknowledged no responsibility toward him; and so there comes to be harbored in the native pastor's soul a bitterness which might never have been there, but for the lack of a little timely help. The Pastor's Aid Society proposes to give that help. It is thought that three hundred dollars a year is as little as any healthy man can get along with. That is a dollar a day for each work da)' as a common laborer; surely estimate. it is not a 85 delegates. There was a union of services held on the Sabbath day, both morning and evening, between the two congregations (the English and the native), at Haili church. The installation of Key. Stephen L. Desha occurred in the morning, and was a very impressive service, each minister, natives and white men having some part. This made thirteen parts in the entire morning service. Kach participant was seated on the platform. A very stimulating gospel temperance service was held in the evening. Mr. Desha takes his pastorate amid favoring circumstances. He has gathered again the long dispersed and thinned congregation, and has a full bouse. He has the sympathy and substantial support of his white biethren. One of the novelties of the Sabbath School gathering which occurred the fourth day of the session of the Association was the Puna Sabbath School which numbered some sixty, children and adults, and which had come (some of them forty miles) over a fearful rough road to take jjart in Saturday's exhibition.

This page is devoted to the interests ol the Honolulu Young Men's Christian Association, and the Board uf Directors are responsible for its contents. S. D. Fuller, -- - Editor. A Magnificent Gift. Mrs. Corliss, the widow of the late George H. Corliss, of Providence, K. 1., the eminent inventor and manufacturer, together with the son and daughter of Mr. Corliss, have jnst announced their desire and purpose to erect for the Young Men's Christian Association of Newburyport, Mass., a magnificent build ing, to cost thirty-six thousand dollars. Mrs. Corliss is a native of, and still has her summer home in Newburyport. It was the cherished purpose of Mr. Corliss to erect some handsome memorial in her native city as an expression of his deep love and appreciation of his wife. His final decision was in favor of an Association building, as being the most practical and far-reaching in its benefits to the community. The untimely death of the great inventor prevented the carrying out of the plan, but his family have nobly taken it up, and will make it a memorial to him. No doubt the Association will see to it that it expresses also his original purpose. The Association owns a beautiful lot, finely located, and the building will no doubt be the most attractive in New- • buryport." The above city was the scene of our initial work as a General .Secretary, and our not over hopeful mission was to revive an Association that had been twice dead and burned; through the sympathy and co-operation of friends and the blessing of God the work was a sue cess. During these last ten years the Association has stood unshaken as a beacon light and a refuge to young men in that old and honored city. Although at present in the far-away and fairer clime, we remember with pleasure and gratitude the numerous friends we then found; and sincerely rejoice in the prosperity and good fortune of the Association which is soon to have a suitable home of its own.

Young Men's Christian Association laid the cornerstone of their new building on the afternoon of August 31st. A large number of the members and interested friends were present to participate in the joyful ceremony. The New York Association, at the 23d St. branch, was damaged by fire to the extent of $40,000 on Sunday, July 2Hth. Through the coolness of those who saw the danger one hundred and twenty young men, present at a meeting, were enabled to escape without panic or loss of life. This disaster follows very close upon the fire which made the Association at Seattle, W. T.. homeless and the fiood which devasled Ji Imstown. We don't expect babes to lie strong, but when it comes to ten Of fifteen years of Christian culture, we do expect more tii m a reed shaken with the wind. Leaving out all others, a young man tli.it has been a member of the church five year, and never taken active part, ought to be ashamed of himself. So had those who walk ten squares to an entertainment, and then plead being so tired on pi aver meeting night they can't go to service. Yatntaii. Mr. T. K. Cree, Secretary of the Inter national Committee, has gone to Paris to assist in raising $200,000 for a building for the French Association in that city. He takes with him 460,000 given by B member of the New York Association. The President of the French Republic was recently shown the fine display of Association buildings and literature on exhibition at the Exposition, and being informed in regard to our work expressed much interest in it. We talk about the sacred ministry, the sacred desk, and the sacred calling; but we want sacred offices, sacred banks, sacred stores and sacred shops, and every man in them who names the name of Christ to be an ordained minister of God—to do His work, bear His testimony, lift high the light of the devine life, and scatter the salt which saves the world from corruption, to be witnesses for godliness, righteousness and brotherly kindness. Rev. Dr. George F. Pentcost. Topics. Mar. 26:63-66. Exchange Items. — Confirmations of Scripture come in from many sources just when unbelief is most vehement in its assaults on Scripture. The following, from an exAt Babylon, change, is remarkable Col. Kawlinson found the very hunting diary of Nebuchadnezza ! In it here and there are portraits of the old king's dogs, sketched by himself, and underneath is written the king's name. It is wonderful. But the most wonderful of all is, that in the diary he records thaj he had been very ill, and in the delirium of his sickness he thought he had been 'out to graze like the beasts of the field : ! Now read God's Book (Dan. iv. 32, and so on.) It says he did thus go out senseless and beastlike, to eat grass seven times (years). And to think that twenty-five hundred years afterward, as if to sternly rebuke unbelief of the Holy Word, the clay plates excavated from the ruins of the king's ancient capital should confirm this old book of the prophet Daniel. It is the Book of God ! Some Facts Worth Knowing. 1. There is Young Men's Christian Association work in thirty-nine countries,—among others, in Japan, India, China, Ceylon, Turkey in Asia and Turkey in Europe, Syria, Inland Africa, Germany, Switzerland, France, Great Britain, Holland, Belgium, Australia. Canada, the United States, and in the different countries of Scandanavia. 2. At present there are 3,600 persons who have voluntarily signified their desire and intention, if God wills, to go to foreign fields as missionaries. Some of them will do Association work. One hundred and ten of these volnnteers have already sailed for their fields of labor. This volunteer student movement can be traced directly to the influence of the college Young Men's Christian Associations. 3. Within the last two years, ten men, selected by the Young Men's Christian Associations, have gone from this country to teach in the government schools of Japan. When their day's duties in their respective schools are done, they go out to do Christian work, by explaining the Gospel, answering inquiries, etc. The greater part of their work is a.mongyoung men. The necessities of Japan alone may be imagined when it is stated that the people of an entire nation,' having abandoned their idolatry, are saying: "We are not Buddhists; we are not Shintoists; we are nothing." We need 20,000 laborers, home and foreign, before the year 1900. The city of Tokio, Japan, has 80,000 students. The largest University in the world is said to be in that city. A Young Men's Christian Association has been formed there, and a New York man has contributed $25,000 towards the erection of a building for it; $25,000 more are required. It is one result of the Northfield Summer School of 1887. 4. India affords a magnificent field for Young Men's Christian Association work. There are 3,000,000 young men there who speak Engiish. It is, truly, "the opportunity of the ages." No wonder that such a consecrated worker as David McConaughy, Jr., general secretary of the Philadelphia Young Men's Christian Association, is about to go there for Young Men's Christian Association work. In Madras there are 3,000 students, but not a single Christian in the faculty. �THE FRIEND. An Appalling Statement. The presiding Judge of one of the Chicago courts has recently said to an Inter-Ocean interviewer: "You may ransack the pigeon holes all over the city and country, and look over such annual reports as are made up, but they will not tell half the truth. Not only arc the saloons of Chicago responsible for the cost of the police fon c, the fifteen justice courts, the Bridewell, but also for th ! criminal courts, the county jail, a great portion of Joliet, the long murder trials, the coroner's office, the morgue, the poor bouse, the reform school, the madhouse. Go anywhere you please, and you will find almost invariably that whisky is at the I">ot of the evil. The gambling houses of the city, and the bad houses of the cily, are the direct outgrowth of the boon companions of drink. Of all the thousands of prostitutes of Chicago, tin: downfall of almost every one can he traced to drunkenness on the part of their parents or husbands, or drunkenness on their own part, Of all tin: boys in the reform school at Pontiac, and in the various reformatories about the city, ninety-live per cent, are the children of parents who died through drink, or became criminals through the same cause. Generally speaking, these families go to destruction. The boys turn out thieves, and the girls ami their mothers generally resort to the slums. The sand-baggers, murderers and thugs generally of to-day, who arc prosecuted in the police courts and criminal courts, are the sons of men who fell victims to drink. The percentage in this case is fully ninety-five per cent. I have studied this question for years, and have passed upon criminal cases for years, and know whereof I speak. "This saloon," that "saloon," the other saloons, saloons, saloons, "saloon" figure constantly and universally in the anarchist trial. Conspirators met in saloons; dynamite was discussed in saloons; bombs were distributed over saloons; armed revolutionists were drilled above, under, or in the rear of saloons; treason made assignation in saloons, and time and time again witnesses say, "we went to" such and such "a saloon for wine or beer." There is not a country under the sun in which.lurks so much treason, revolution, and murderous treaty, as in the "saloon" of the United States, and notably in all large cities. These saloon pests harbor thieves, thugs, house-breakers, anarchists, robbers and murderers. Nine-tenths of the lawbreakers in America are hatched in saloons, and the admitted fact is palliated by the axiom that saloons are the headquarters for town, city and even national election gerrymandering. The liquor counter is the scaffold on which a halfhundred beautiful, vital American things are assassinated, and on which scores ol imitation, but in undisputed completehorrid public plagues are glorified. ness.

Death came by sin. and sin goeth out No evil action can be well done; hut a good one may be ill clone. The Roman Church is said to have six bushels of St. Peter's teeth. The vial of God's wrath dropa, but the fountain of his mercy runs. In the sorest trials God often makes the sweetest discoveries ot himself. The only way to Bee away from God is to flee into Him.—Phillips Brooks. He who waits to do a great good at once, will seldom do any good at ail. God stops his ears against their prayers who stop their ears against his laws. In creation God shows us his hand, but in redemption God gives us his heart. If you would have God hear you when you pray, vnu must hear him when he speaks. Every man has his chain and clog. Let him not drag it, hut bravely lift and carry it. Habits are to the soul what the veins anil arteries are to the blood, the courses in which it moves. The earnestness and accuracy of our blows is all important; it matters not how far fly the echoes. The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world, next to the might of God. Man)- an ob|cct in life must be attained by flank movements.

Marshall spoke of his first arrival here, when he saw the Princess and Premier Kinau lying in state, and heard Air. Bingham preach her funeral sermon in the old thatched church. He last saw Mr. Bingham at the funeral of the honored James Hannewell. He spoke of his long association with Gen. S. C. Armstrong, son of Mr. Bingham's successor in the pastorate of Kawaiahao, whose grand work at Hampton for Indians and Negroes, the poet Whittier thought the greatest work now being done in the country. "To lo6k upon this gathering of Hawaiians, the largest 1 have seen since my arrival, makes me feel as if I were renewing my youth. I say again, 'Aloha oukou.' " Mr. Josiah Kua spoke first in Hawaiian, atid then read an address in English, during the progress of which the Tablet was unveiled by Hiram Bingham third, a lad of thirteen. The inscription was interpreted by Mr. Kua to the Hawaiians. It is as follows : A CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL OF HIRAM BINGHAM Born in Bennington, Vt., October 30th, 1789. Died in New Haven, Ct., November 11th, 1809, aged 80 years. This slab is placed here in grateful remembrance of a pioneer missionary by descendants of Hawaiians (aided by his children), among whom he preached Christ for more than twenty years. He preached the first sermon ever delivered in this city, April'2~>th, 1830, from 'Fear not; for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great joy." Here he taught confiding kings, queens, and chiefs, faced dangers, and bore calumny from abroad; aided in reducing the language to writing, translated much of the Bible, composed books, hymns and tunes; here he baptized a thousand converts, planted a church, planned this edifice, and with his loving people, on June Bth, 1839, laid this adjoining corner stone, beneath which was placed a Hawaiian Bible, first published May 10th, 1839. From here, amid loud wailings of hundreds of his flock, he sailed on August 3d, 1840, to revisit his native land; but never returning, was not with them, when, on July 12th, 1842, with joyful acclamation, they dedicated this church. To Jehovah our God forever and ever." " The slab is of marble, about five feet by four, attached to the front wall of the church, immediately makai of the old corner stone. At the close of the exercises, at which His Majesty and the Princess Liliuokalani were interested attendants, the audience were invited to partake of a very bounteous feast which was spread upon the adjacent lawn under the algerobas. About six hundred natives sat down at once at the low tables, and as many more after them. Four bullocks, six hogs, and numberless fish and fowl had been cooked in the huge ground ovens, poi and other comestibles making up rations for two thousand people. So ended a most happy and profitable celebration. Miss E. K. Bingham and Mrs. L. B. Coan had the satisfaction of assisting in this commemoration of their father's labors. Letter from Gilbert Islands. Rev. Z. S. K. Paaluhi, writes from Tapiteuea via Sydney " When the Morning Star reached here November 11, 1888, our stock of provisions had failed in August, and we were buying food of the traders. [The route of the : Star was changed that year, going to the Marshall Islands before going to the GilbertGroup. -Ed.] Ourlettershad been left at Jaluit to be forwarded, and they were not delivered to us until December 21. Then we had to pay $2.50 postage. On our outward passage here the previous year, we stopped at Kusaie, visited and admired her girls' school. We wondered greatly at her ability to converse in three different Micronesian languages, Kusaian, Marshall and Gilberts. We have not received the box from the Lima Kokua, nor the medicines from Dr. Smith. Besides the money spent for the purchase of land for the station, I have been at considerable expense more than was sent me, in building those houses as shown on the plan I have drawn and send to you. I had no compass, but took my bearings from the points of sunrise and sunset. Emma (Mrs. Paaluhi,) came near dying July, 1888, from some stomach trouble, and the pain continued until November. "We went to the south end of the island to visit Kaaia (his missionary associate). Emma and the baby grew better and returned to our station January, 1889. The mission work at this station is making more progress than formerly. Kaaia and I and the natives have passed certain laws to preserve peace and tranquility. They were proclaimed July 10, 1888. Here are some of the penalties for various crimes: For drunkenness, a fine of 2,000 cocoantits, or 5 cocoanut trees cut down: making or for intoxicating liquor, the furnishing liquor; stealing, a piece of land to the owner of the property stolen; for adultery, a piece of land to the wife; for murder, death or 3 pieces of land; for Sabbath breaking, 2,000 cocoanuts; for bloodshed, 2,000 cocoanuts; for lascivious dancing, 1,000; lying, 1,000 nuts, or 3 cocoanut trees; for truancy, 10 nuts. In consequence of these laws, there is peace and order, except for the drink. I have four districts to visit, spending one Sabbath in each district. In Sunday School, the scholars recite Bible lessons. I cannot report many conversions, only a few. "All do not wear clothes. On Sundays, they will have at least one garment. The people fish night and day. But the Holy Spirit giving me that divine power, on which only I can rely, my hope is strong in the final supremacy of the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am teaching in the schools the primer, the Scriptures, Mental and Written arithmetic, writing, geography. Mr. Walkup's school at Kusaie is a same: Novembr, 1889. great blessing for the Gilbert Islands. His pupils are taught English, singing by note, elocution, composition, Bible history and doctrines. I have established a BlueßibbonTemperance League here, which 1 hope God will prosper. Itaaka Niuta and his wife have returned here from Banaba, and Taremon and his wife are now stationed there. Banaba has suffered from famine. Many have died. There are no leaves or fruit on many cocoanut trees. Fish is the only food, and many people are leaving the island. Itaaka is helping Kaaia. In January, 1889, a certain Bekau Kaiboboki, came into the third district of my parish, caught me by the two arms'and said, " I will tie you with a rope, and keep you tied till the Star comes again, and then send you aboard." He was a drinking man, and because he had been fined for drunkenness, threatened me because I had accused him of it before the people of Tapiteuea. I did not make any opposition to this violent assault, only spoke pleasantly to him. But when the South-enders heard what he had done, they came up with Kaaia and made him pay them a fine of 1000 nuts, and cut down the tree on his land. Then he confessed his fault. March 18, 1889, a similar disturbance sprung up at the South-end, between the Bekau folks and Kaaia. He called on the people of trfe North-end for help. So I went with my people, not to fight, but to hold a Christian assembly. The Bekau folks were fined, and tranquility restored. limma'sUrouble is now in her chest, and she can no longer teach the women and little children. Sunday and Wednesday meetings are orderly and Emma continues the Friday meetings for the women. Sometimes we think we ought to go back to Hawaii to get proper medical treatment for Emma. I have planted 72 cocoanut trees, 0 bread-fruit, 6 pandanus on the mission land; built an eating and store-room, a cook house, a school house, and have bought for $4 four cocoanut trees outside of the mission premises. My house is very comfortable, with its windows, blinds, veranda and steps. I would like to have three nets for fishing. I used to pay $4.50 for one net, with meshes about one inch or less. The net ought to be 10 or 12 fathoms long. Kaaia is well, and doing well, not very well. The Holy Spirit is what we need. We have had rain, and the island looks very beautiful. My kind regards to all the members of the Hawaiian Board." The letter is dated March 19, 1889, and was received October 19. A letter from Rev. M. Lutera, Apaian, speaks of his wife as teaching the girls to sew and sing, while he teaches the boys. A new school house is nearly completed, and also an addition to the church. Attendance is good, and order almost universally prevails. The Christian people have passed a law, that if any one sleeps or laughs, or �Volume 47, No. 11.] makes a disturbance, he shall be fined 20 cocoanuts, and policemen are stationed every Sunday to enforce this rule. Lutera visited Tarawa June 8, and received 150 to the church, baptized 40 children, mairied 40 couples. A new church building has been put up, 80 feet long by 50 feet wide. Rain has fallen abundantly for two years, and food is plenty. But there is no King or Queen, no one person with supreme authority. The Annual meeting of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was held on the evening of Saturday, October 26th, at Y. M. C. A. Hall. The reports of the various officers were read, and an animated and instructive address was delivered by the President, Mrs. Dr. J. M. Whitney. The exercises were followed by a sociable hour, with refreshments served. The Blue Ribbon League participated in the occasion, their President, Rev. H. H. Gowen opening the exercises. We print in another column the report of the missionary of the W. C. T. U., Miss M. F2. Green, which was read on this occasion, and which is full of interest. Report of Missionary of W. C. T. U. By Miss Mary E. Green. On account of absence six months to California, we give this year a biennial report. Temperance effort and success are the main features during the year 1888. In June, I toured the island of Oahu. My companions were Jennie Bates, assistant teacher at the Kawaiahao Seminary, and Obed Kekuewa, both natives of the soil. Both consecrated to the Master's service. Descending the Pali, we were overtaken by an Hawaiian who wore two hats; his attitude evinced an inclination towards the jug that depended from his saddle's pommel. Miss Bates opened upon him a battery of wholesome advice. On parting she suggested the propriety of dashing the jug away, and returning to his wife and children. We reached the sugar plantation of Mr. John Cummins, where we were tendered right royal hospitality. The following day, the people met me in Mr. Cummins spacious reception room. We held services and took pledges. In due time we left for more "seed sowing." Now and then reaching Hawaiian homes, we would dismount, and call the inmates to prayer, Bible reading and instruction, into which my young companions entered willingly. It was a joy to converse with the aged Hawaiians; their simple trust in God, their cheerful expressions of gratitude for what has been done for them by the missionaries, bright anticipations of the "mansions" prepared for them, and their decided non-complicity with intemperance stamped them Christ's own ones. 89 THE FRIEND. At Kaneohe, we were guests of Mr. WaiIn company with the Deputy nee. Sheriff, we visited many homes. At this place I formed a Union, previous to which, our Constitution, By-Laws and pledge were read. There were speeches, songs, prayers and intelligent questions as to the best method of carrying on the work. Pledges were given, and a good spirit prevailed. We left for Waikane bedecked with garlands of fragrant flowers. As on the preceding days of travel, grand cliffs of Koolau were on our left, the breezy, bright blue Pacific at our right. At Waikane we were entertained by Mr. Aikue in foreign style. The family vied with each other in ministries of love. On Sunday we held service, Sabbath School, and formed a Union. The pastor was absent. His wife spread for us all a generous lunch, and showered upon us assurances of aloha. On Monday we set forth reinforced by our friend Aikue and his family. We visited the district school kept by our half-white hostess. The first beholding was a line of boys and girls, each holding a copy of Hunt's Child's Health Primer. I received prompt replies to questions put them from the book. We road over a beautiful country. To the left mountains, to the right the murmuring sea, sowing the seed as we entered the lowly homes of the dear Hawaiians, or met them on our way. At Kahana, one of Nature's valley gems, we made cold water calls, then to the home of Mr. Kapu, pastor of the churches on the west side of Oahu. For hours he and friends had been awaiting our arrival, and a gladsome reception we met. The women of his parish had braided Pandanus mats for the floors of the parsonage, skillfully fitting to each turn and corner. The appointments of the house were civilized and neat. The ensuing day with Mr. Kapu, we revisited Kahana to find the church filled with Hawaiians, some from miles away. We organized there a Society, whose officers were young women, more modest, sensible interesting I have hardly ever met. "True ring" was imparted to the occasion by the well trained choir, under leadership of the pastor. With Mr. Kapu we journeyed through Koolaupoko and Koolauloa, missionating on the way. We passed the Mormon settlement. At Kahuku homes, we met, conversed and united in prayer with men and women whom I shall never forget. We shall know each other in "The Better Land." While at Waialua, we were the recipients of many loving attentions from Mrs. Emerson. She could not have said or done more for us had she known it was her final visit with us. A loving mother welcome she gave us on arrival; a fond farewell at departure; as we turned for one more look at the dear face, fresh inspiration incited us to greater effort in behalf of "God, Home, and Native Land." At the old missionary church we held meetings, and organized a Temperance Union into which work the Judge en- tered heartily. We passed on to the north-east part of Oahu, stony and bleak. Here to my surprise was a former pupil, who with her family signed the pledge. After many miles of slow riding, we reached Makua. That evening was devoted to our special mission. At Waianae, 1 formed a Union of earnest hearts and willing hands. At Ewa, we hoped to have gathered the people together, but they are so scattered it could not be done on short notice. We reached Honolulu after seventeen consecutive days of service "in His Name." My companions gained knowledge as to methods of work among their countrymen. They took it up in a manner highly creditable to themselves. The past year your committee has spent in Honolulu. Have translated temperance articles for the two weekly newspapers "Kuokoa" and "Pat Ainu. Have held weekly " Band of Hope" meetings for Hawaiian children at "Queen Emma Hall." Although success is not commensurate with our hopes and plans, we endeavor to bear in mind what is written in the "Book of books." It reads thus : "If thou faint_ in the day of adversity, thy strength is small." So, adverse circumstances will only stimulate us to greater faith, and efforts in the blessed cause of aiding to rescue humanity from death and ruin. We have hoped to publish a second edition of our Hawaiian temperance song book with music; but cannot yet see our way clear. We have added "awa" and "opium" to Our temperance pledge. Although our meetings are not always fully attended, we know that such is the way among other nationalities. There ever was, and ever will be a high and low tide in the affairs of men. On our last monthly visit to the prison, we saw, as usual, whites and natives confined for alcoholism. We visit the public institutions of the city, and the homes of the people; and in our ears is poured the same sad story that brings tears to our eyes, and sorrow to our hearts. The Friday evening meetings at Queen Emma House, ably conducted by the Chief Justice of the nation, are still replete with interest. Many are the thrilling facts and experiences there given. Many of those who have signed the pledge of total abstinence are this night rejoicing in their freedom. It is gratifying to see the "bit of blue " by some worn costantly; an emblem of unshaken adherence to the pledge given. We believe that Prohibition is what Hawaii nei needs. License, high license, low license, weighed in the balance are found want- . �90 THE FRIEND. ing. "License is a sham, a fraud, a sin." Some say the people are not quite ready now for the adoption of any complete measure for the cure of this great evil. We must wait; we must bide our time; the saloons are too much for us now; we must stand aside and let them have their way, as people in a crowded street must do if a savage bull were running amuck through it. No possible good, even to an infintesimal extent comes to temperance from the policy of license to the liquor traffic, while immense harm comes by giving the saloous the protection and support of law, as if it were a good thing, and not an infinite mischief to the community, and a great sin, "shame and crime before God." There exists in Honolulu a necessity whose importance cannot be over-estimated. AHome, and in it aW.C.T. U. department, in connection with a coffee and refreshment room, furnished with a view to comfort and pleasure, cheerfully lighted, whose wallsshall beadorned with scenes and letterings suggestive of happy homes in other lands, of a Heavenly Father's love—of welcomes to all. There should be bright flowers, and literature entertaining and improving. It seems to us a deplorable fact, that aside from the Y. M. C. A. no such Home exists. Its motto might be "Home Protection versus Saloon Destruction." Mrs. Homer of Kukuihaele sent five dollars for the work, which were expended for temperance mottos, arranged on the walls of Queen Emma Hall. Mr. Southwick has placed in our hand ten dollars. The brothers Wilcox on Kauai have each donated $25, and Mrs. T. Waterhouse ten, towards the purJ. chase of a sterioptican "A. No. 1" which, when secured, after a due amount of the wherewith is raised, will be a material aid to temperance work. Early Trading in Hawaii. The monthly concert exercises on Wednesday, Oct. 2d, in Central Union Church, were most agreeably varied by a most spicy and stirring account of his labors in Singapore by Rev. Mr. Oldham, a returning Methodist missionary in transit by a P. M. S. steamer. Mr. and Mrs. Oldham had gone to India on Bishop Taylor's self-supporting plan, which does not seem to be altogether the best one. They found remunerative occupation in Singapore in teaching English to sons of Chinese merchants, and had created a large and prosperous educational institute, resulting in many conversions of the pupils. Mr. O. speaks and looks like a man who could make his way anywhere. A lady missionary from Corea, the first one ever visiting us, also made some interesting statements. We are pleased to learn that Prof. Edmund Sanford, lately of Oahu College, and since then at Johns Hopkins, has become one of the faculty of the new Clark University in Worcester, iFrom the MaiU Wreath.) By W. D. Alexander. It has been said that anatomists like Cuvier or Agassiz from a single bone, a tooth for instance, could reconstruct an entire skeleton. "Ex pede Hereiilem." So a literary fragment, an old newspaper or a diary will often throw unexpected light on the state of society in which it was produced. This is true of a little book accidentally found the other day in a store-room of the Government building called Hale Kapuaiwa. While examining a mass of forgotten rubbish, I came across a large box containing the account books of the old firm of French & Co., from 1828 to 1843, among which was a small ledger filled with accounts of the years 1818 to 1819. After some inquiry I learned that this set of books and papers had been filed with the Court of Chancery ofOahu in 1844, during the settlement of the complicated affairs of the Estate of French and Greenway. It seems that Mr. Wm. French came from Boston to these islands in 1819, on his way to China with a cargo of merchandise. From the ledger referred to above we gather -that he left Boston in September, 1818, in the Brig "Neo," arriving here in March, 1819, and that he remained here until November of the same year. It was a memorable year in Hawaiian history. Kamehameha I. died on the Bth of May, and was succeeded by his son Liholiho. The abolition of the Kapu system was proclaimed in the following October, and therevolt ofKekuaokalani in behalf of idolatry took place in November, to which events our account book makes no allusion. The first and most interesting account in the book is that of King Kamehameha I. or "Tamaahmah," commencing March 12th, 1819, on which day he bought two shirts, paying for them by a canoe load of vegetables. A week later, we are sorry to see that he purchased 16 kegs of Rum, valued at $400, and on the 27th a box of Tea, together with $8,000.00 worth of guns, powder and shot. He paid for the above with 850 piculs of sandal wood at $10 a picul, the picul being equal to 133c_ lbs. weight. During the following May, his son and successor, Liholiho, or " Reah Rehu," purchased 34 casks of gun-powder, 80 muskets at $15, with a large quantity of bullets, flints, etc., and the new sloop "Kiroua," valued at $4,160.00, for which he gave in payment 416 piculs of sandal wood, 4 hogs, and his note for the balance. This supply of muskets and ammunition was very timely in view or civil war which broke out five months later, and no doubt contributed to the decisive victory of Kuamoo over the pagan party. Next comes the account of Kalanimoku, or "Crymacoo," who bought a shirt [November, 1889 March Pith, paying for it with a hog, which seems to have been the regular price. He also purchased over $1,200 worth of cloth, paying for it with hogs and small wood; and lastly Aug. 6th, bought the brig "Neo" and appurtenances for the exorbitant price of $51,-750.00, paying down $44,470.00 in sandal wood, and giving his note for the balance, viz., $7,280.00. The craze for buying ships has always been a weakness of Hawaiian Chiefs, from the time of the brig "Neo" or "Niu" to that of the steamship "Kaimiloa." The next important account is that of Boki, here styled "Gov. Boka," who was Governor of Oahu, and appears to have made a final settlement for the debts of all the chiefs. Among his purchases were 6 packs of cards for $3.00. The final upshot of the business was that the King and chiefs parted with over $61,600.00 worth of sandal wood, besides many hogs, and gave three joint notes amounting to $24,310.00, payable in sandal wood. We have been told that Gov. Adams found the brig "Niu" rotten (popopo), and had her hauled up and repaired in Pearl River. Among other accounts we find those of Kaahumanu or "Caramano," Keeaumoku or "Tyamoko," Naihe or "Nyhee," Kaikioewa or "Kikeavah," and Hewahewa or "Haver Haver," the high priest. Nearly every one of these worthies purchased a shirt on the 12th of March, 1819, giving a hog in exchange for it. Among the names of foreigners we find that of John Young, who, like the rest, bought a new shirt March 12th, for a hog, and afterwards gave a small pig in exchange for 3 lbs. of tobacco. John Harbottle, who arrived here in 1794, was acting as pilot, and took his pay in goods. We also find the familiar names of Capt. Thomas Meek, of FVancesco Marin (spelt "Marinne"), of George Beckley, Wm. Bade, W. H. Davis, and other old settlers. Nearly all the trade was carried on by barter, and scarcely any payments in cash are recorded in our book. Hogs are credited at $2.00 a piece. On the other hand, the price of an axe was $3.00, of a "palimpore" or Chinese umbrella, $3.00, and blue cloth was sold at $3.00 a yard. It is worthy of notice that the seamen of the brig "Neo" were shipped in Boston at from $11 to $16 per month, receiving all the way from $22 to $80 in advance. Facts like these speak for themselves. W. D. Alexander. General James F. B. Marshall. After an absence of thirty-one years, we have again among us this gentleman, who has long been the sole survivor from among the active participants in the most stirring crisis of the political history of these Islands, that of the seizure of the kingdom by Lord George Paulet.

Mr. Marshall soon returned here and started the Lihue sugar plantation. In 1858 he returned to Boston, where as President of the Hawaiian Club, he helped to welcome Hawaiian visitors, arid to disseminate information about these Islands. Being debarred by a physical disability from military service during the war, he rendered most important service as Paymaster General of the Massachusetts troops, and was at one time, with Mrs. Marshall, for several months at the front in the work of the Sanitary Comission, Mrs. Marshall laboring as a nurse in the Military Hospitals. Later on, for fifteen years, our friend was associated with Gen. S. C. Armstrong at Hampton, Va., as financial manager of the great and successful school at that place. After a long life of so much beneficent service, he is again among scenes of his earlier labors, to find almost all his former associates passed away.

BOARD. HAWAIIAN HONOLULU I. H. This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions and the Kditor, appointed by the Board is responsible for its contents. Rev. 0. P. Emerson, - Editor. We are glad to see that at the planters' meeting, which is now being held, such appreciative and kind resolutions were passed bearing upon their relations with the native Hawaiians. It is by the honest expression of just such sentiments as these, and by the carrying of them out into practice, that the bitterness which is being gendered by the demagogue is to be neutralized, and the workmen of our earlier days to be won back to wholesome labor. Let the planters pay handsome wages; let them be careful in the selection of their lunas (gang overseers); let them keep these positions, so far as they can in fairness to themselves, for the native Hawaiians; let them offer them as a reward for trustworthiness, and we believe that the policy will prove itself. Why should not the young men of the Kamehameha School be assured that the great industry of the islands offers them a fair and open field; why should not some of them be permitted to "plan to enter plantation life; what could be healthier for them, or often more remunerative. If rightly led, they might help to bring the dignity of plantation work up to a higher level. If the bright, informed native (or half-white) can readily collect a band of suffering indigents, and lead them in a raid against good government in search of precarious spoils, then it would seem that hd might be a good man to enlist men for plantation work. It may be fairly possible that this might be one solution of the problem, "where shall we get laborers?" There are workmen enough already on the islands if they can only be got at. The opening that might thus be offered the intelligent young Hawaiian, might also be afforded the young Chinaman or Portuguese, or Japanese of right quality. Are there not enough unemployed hands already in the country to man our plantations, without trying the doubtful experiment of bringing in more. It is one thing to get workmen and another thing to keep them at work; the latter matter is quite as important as the former. Plantation life may perhaps be made more attractive. Let us avoid the coolie system, or the alien driver. Let natives lead natives at their work, and Chinamen lead Chinamen, when it is a feasible thing, and so in and between the hands of workmen,.let there be honor aud emulation.

There was but one Blue Ribbon Entertainment last month owing to an unusual counter attraction on one Saturday evening, and the hall being engaged two other Saturday evenings. We hope to do better in the months to come. The business meeting last month was not so largely attended as it should have been. The usual committees reported and several mattes of interest were discursed. Mr. F. J. Lowrey, who has been spending several months in the United States, gave us an interesting talk on his impressions of Y. M. C. A. work gathered from visiting some of the larger Associations from San Francisco to Boston. Since vacation the Sunday evening Gospel Service has increased in interest and attendance, and yet there is still room for improvement. The value of the meetings would be greatly increased if a larger number of our members would make special effort to be there, and come prepared to take some part in the exercises, also invite or bring a Topics for the friend, or stranger. month are printed elsewhere.

I am moved to copy some of the things I found on the back of these various cards, the front being reserved for the advertisement: "This is the most complete and correct collection of all military and naval uniforms throughout the world." "We will pack in the celebrated Chewing Tobacco the portraits of all the leading base-ball players in the country in full uniform." "Flags of all the states and territories in the Union." "Portraits of our leading actors and actresses in the costumes of all nations from 600 B. C. to the present time." On some of these cards important statements are made: To-day. "Figures never lie.

"Ah, but, it is said the heavens are evolved, and the earth is evolved, and these bodies and souls are evolved." Then why not say the flints and hatchetheads are evolved. It would be easier to believe it. They look to be verymuch in a state of transition. But suppose these worlds, and these blossoms, and these people aie evolved—it does not yet appear—but suppose they are evolved. How does that hinder the argument ? How does that do away with God? Who evolved them? Evolved themselves? Suppose even that. There is no proof of it. But suppose it. Then out of what did they evolve ? Who made the marvellous fire-mist ? And who gave it such amazing forces, that out of this formless immensity there could come these myriad beings, all instinct with life, and all radiant with beauty ? More than before, if possible, there needs a wonder-working hand behind that primordial form of matter which is said to have in it "the promise and potency of every form oflife." Who made it? It does not solve the mystery of the material universe to put it all back into the protoplasmic nebulosity. Whence came that nebulosity ? Who got that marvellous tire-mist ready to roll up and around, and upon itself through eeom upon eeona of ages, and to flame up into ten millions times ten millions blazing suns; and then to settle away into these hills, and valleys, and waters: and then to begin to stir with mysterious vital forces, all out of its own protoplasmic mud evolving all the world's bloom and all the world's life, you and me, your soul and mine, all that we are or ever are to be. our very thoughts, and hopes, and loves, and longings after immortality ? That was an amazing skill that could give primordial matter all that promise and potency. Whose skill was it? Nobody's? "Nobody's skill," they say. "for matter is eternal.'' That is the only way of escape from the admission that there is a (iod iif infinite power and infinite skill. out of whose hand this wonderful universe came. Either matter has existed forever, m else there is a God of whom it may be said, "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God." The argument now is brief. The simple question that remains is this: since something musl have existed from all eternity, is that something an intelligent mind, a being with a will and with power to work? or is it matter? First, which is it most rational to believe, that mind is the product of unthinking matter, or that matter is the product of a thinking mind ? Mind is a higher thing than matter. Does the higher corns from the lower, or the lower from the higher? Which then is the Lehman being succeeded by Brother most rational, from eternity to eternity, Stolze for four years, and the Brethren the tire-mist; or from eternity to eternity, Wedeman and Kuester, each for eight years, while from 1861 to his being callGod?

How well informed he really is may be seen* by reading an excellent article in the latest issue of The Christian Advocate of this city. Its author is the Rev. S. L. Baldwin, whose knowledge of Chinese Mission work is not exceeded by any man's. Dr. Baldwin shows that there are to-day 35,000 communicants ol Protestant Churches in China; if these were four-dollars-a-month men. as Lieut. Wood asserts, their pay would be $1,-680,000 yearly, or more than twice the amount spent by all the Protestant missionary societies in China, including the salaries of all the missionaries, the building of churches and parsonages and schools, tlie printing of books, the supply of drugs and surgical instruments fur the hospitals, and all other matters of expense. The converts are from every class of society: mainly, however, from merchants, store-keepers, fanners, and artisans.

'These are also divided between the different nationalities. By these tables it appears that there are about 1,500 voters for Representatives, of whom one-fifth, or about 3,000, are electors of Nobles. possessing $iio ) income or $3,000 in unincumbered property. The very interesting and important fact appears, that of these 2,097 electors of Nobles not less than 1,005, or 35.51 per cent, are of Hawaiian blood. In this is a most gratifying assurance of the immense progress of the Hawaiian people in wealth and earning capacity, and in the high degree of intelligence and character which these imply. It is true that the proportion of capable Hawaiians is shown to be still much behind that of the white races. But it is wonderful and most encouraging that they are pushing up so fast towards the white level. By inspection of the tables we discover what is not shown in them—that of the whole number of Hawaiian voters 11.41 per cent, vote for nobles, while of the foreign voters 36.69 per cent, can vote for Nobles. That is, nearly onethird as large a proportion of Hawaiians are acquiring property as of the foreigners. This is certainly a very fair showing for the native people, when we con- Number 12. 95 HONOLULU. H. 1.. DECEMBER, 1889.

When passing King trades and professions, as well as in street he left the balloon, descending their home training in civilized living very slowly. Hurrying seaward with and effort. Now that the Hawaiians are being educated in manual training schools, as well as so many successful artisans among them able to instruct others, an accelerated progress in earning capacity is to be expected. Still further figuring develops an interesting fact in respect to Hawaiian voters of foreign parentage, who by the way are only 1.3 per cent, of the whole. It is commonly understood that the dc scendents of white men degenerate in warm climates. It would seem that in Hawaii they improve, for the tables show that 71.43 per cent, of them have reached the required property qualification, compared with the above given 36.64 per cent, of all foreign voters. Is this fact due to the high standard of education in our white schools and churches ? The Portuguese constitute 19.26 per cent, of the voters for Representatives, but only 4.77 per cent, of the voters for Nobles ; only 5.09 per cent, of them have the required property qualification. Most of them are entirely illiterate, and unskilled laborers. 'They will rapidly improve in condition. 'Their children will be educated, and may be expected to attain good circumstances. 'The largest ratio of Noble voters, 82.09 pe r cent., is among the British. The Americans stand next at 81.86 per cent., and Germans at OS.4G. It is evident from the above facts that the Hawaiians possess an overwhelming ascendency in the choice of representatives, as well as a most influential vote for nobles, and that foreigners can maintain an effective share in the govern ment only by wise counsel and worthy conduct. There can be little doubt, however, that a majority of those intelligent Hawaiians who are qualified to vote for Nobles will usually feel the same interest in competent government that is felt by intelligent whites, and will unite with the latter to secure it. The figures given are from the registration of two years ago. There has probably been 'no great change in the relative ratios during that time. Discarding Life-Preservers. Our city experienced a painful shock two weeks ago in seeing B daring parachute jumper suddenly swept to a watery grave. We witnessed it, like almost all the people of the town. The balloon over the town with the swent snlendidlv X I.MV. I*l J the crowd, we saw him carried past the shore and far out to sea. In a few moments more he plunged into the combing waves and disappeared at a point at least a mile outside the reef. Two boats were making for the spot, but near two miles away. Everyone said he had a life preserver, and no apprehension seemed to be felt. 'The Sydney steamer was coming in, and we hurried home to close our mail. Going down with it two hours after, a sober-looking group of men told us the daring jumper had not been found. And we soon learned the fatal fact that at the last moment he had diseariled his life-preserver as a troublesome impediment. 'There is little question that had he worn the life-preserver, Joseph Lawrence's life would have been saved. He would easily have survived until the boats had reached him. It was the impetuosity, the impatience—we would be gentle and not say the folly—of youth that sent him unequipped, unarmed, unsustaiiK-d to a certain and sudden death. A friend told us that he stood by and saw him throw aside that on which his safety depended. He felt like urgently interfering, and almost reproached himself for not having done so. The poor boy had no thought of drifting out to sea. He was certain that he should alight on land. We cannot help thinking of a young man we know who is impetuously discarding the restrictions of purity and launching out on a life of pleasure. We know another who is impatiently casting away the impediment of strict honesty while he is soaring up towards expected wealth. Another youth is recklessly despising a mother's entreaties. No apron-strings for him. Another is evading his father's experienced counsel. And so what a throng of hapless young men there is all round us in this city, rushing jubilantly—whither? Oh the graves of ruin that are fast engulfing so many of our choice and promising youth. They have thrown away their life-preservers ! Can we say or do anything to arrest their mad flight to death? "Oh, that is all right," they will cheerily reply to you, and off they go, and by-andby you hear of a drunkard's &rave, and a gambler's grave, ola suicide, and of a murder, and of shattered reputations and ruined homes, and broken hearts. And some of them or their associates will read this and befoul us for a missionary and puritanical Pharisee! �96 [December, 1889. THE FRIEND. Morning Star News. The Morning Star came into port most unexpectedly Monday afternoon, November IS; about three o'clock. As she steamed steadily onward it was evident that no damage to the vessel had interrupted the voyage. She was not expected to be back in Honolulu before the first of May. 'Those who went out to meet her, and saw the missionary ladies, Miss Crosby and Miss Ingersoll, sitting on the deck, wan and weak, did not need to ask why the Star had been sent back. The ladies were speedily taken ashore, medical examination made, and it was a relief to learn that while Miss Ingersoll might find it advantageous to remain in Honolulu a little time before going on to the States, Miss Crosby's illness was not so serious as to prevent her taking the steamer Australia on the succeeding Eriday, and getting into a more invigorating climate as soon as possible. Both of the missionary ladies were suffering from nervous troubles. The constant rainfall on both Ponape and Kusaie, with the intense heat of the tropic sun, is most debilitating, even to vigorous constitutions. Miss Smith, who came up from Kusaie, to care for the invalids on the voyage, will return to her woik in the girls' school, on the return trip of the Star. This interruption of the voyage is a serious matter in view of the impossibility of accomplishing the missionary work that must be done, as well as the large expense involved. It costs about fifty dollars a day to run the Star, and ten months barely suffice to take the vessel down and through the various groups of islands and back again to Honolulu in season to refit for the next year's trip. The Star sails nearly 1 1,000 miles each year, and to accomplish this distance in time, must steam about onefifth of the ten months allotted. To get back in season, the plan for a general meeting in the Gilbert Islands of the various missionaries for this year cannot be carried out. All that can be done is probably to land supplies and bring up orders from the Hawaiian missionaries. The Marshall group is in charge of native catechists, and they must be yisited and supplied this year, however hurriedly. Rev. Mr. Walkup was left at Nonouli, on the Gilbert Islands group, on the outward voyage of the Star, August 21. He had with him one of the boys from his training school, whom he had brought to Honolulu. His intention was to visit what other islands he might be able to reach before the Star should come back from the West to pick him up and bring him to Honolulu. Not until the Star had left him, was it known, that two Catholic priests were on the island, and that last April a fracas had occurred between some of their adherents in an altercation with the Gilbert Island Catechist who had been previously stationed on the island. The parties had come to blows, but the timely arrival of the priest had prevented a general scrimmage. Rev. J. H. Mahoe, of Koloa, who had been sent down as a special delegate to the Mission, of which he was formerly a member, was left with his little son at Apian. Rev. M. Lutera and wife had returned to that island from Butaritari in April, and were meeting with marked success in their work. They had bought a new whale boat, and made a visit to Tarawa, baptizing many converts there. Before the Star reached Nonouti, about the third time the steam was started, the iron main mast which is used as the smoke-stack, was noticed to be red hot. The soft coal when broken to powder, seemed to be drawn into the smokestack to the great loss of heat, as well as peril to the ship. Thefires were promptly drawn; but the next morning the rigging of the main mast was slack. When this had occurred twice in succession, investigation was made, and it was found that the iron mast was completely eaten away at the bottom and was settling down. On arriving at Kusaie, Capt. Garland cut some long spars in the woods. With these he lowered the mast on deck, and then the engineer, with such tools as he had, cut off five feet and more of the mast, replaced, riveted it anew, and made the necessary connections. It was carefully and skillfully done, and no further trouble was experienced. Some of the boiler tubes have been repaired here, and the Slar will probably sail next Monday or Tuesday to resume and complete her annual voyage for this season, coming back again, it is planned, about the first of May. The veteran, Rev. E. T. Doane, on Ponape, works vigorously for a man of seventy years; but the strain must tell upon him, strong as he is, anxious to spend his days even to the last in work for his beloved people. Miss Palmer has been unusually well. Rev. Mr. Eorbes landed his goods on Ponape, but returned to Kusaie, where he had been obliged to leave Mrs. Eorbes in Dr. Pease's care for medical treatment. They were planning to take up their abode on Ponape, when the Star next went west. Dr. Pease and wife on Kusaie were somewhat fatigued from the incessant care they had taken for months, night and day, of Miss Crosby. Miss Little, left alone with twenty-eight girls to look after, will gladly welcome back Miss Smith, associated with her in care of the school. Rev. Mr. Snelling was planning to leave Mrs. Snelling and Mrs. Logan alone on Ruk, while Capt. Worth and he in the open mission boat made a tout through the Mortlocks. It seems too much of a risk to venture, both for those at sea, and those left on the island, as we see things at this distance. Mrs. Logan, with her girls, was occupying the house built for Mr. and Mrs. Treiber. The Star brought to Honolulu, the captain and crew of the bark T. L. Sweat, of Portland, Me., bound from Newcastle, N. S.W., with coal for Hongkong, and wrecked April 9, on the Susanna reef. The ship went to pieces almost immediately,and the crew reached Polowot Island with only the clothes they wore. Capt. Gooding foi nd his way to Ruk. The mission boat was sent back for the crew, who were brought to the mission station, and kept there till .September. Then and they were taken in the boat to Ponape, thence brought to Honolulu by the Star. The Spanish soldiers who have taken possession of Ponape, have brought only degradation, disease and death to the native inhabitants. The faithful preaching of the Gospel by the Protestant missionaries and their warnings against the evils of intemperance and licentiousness, had checked the downward course of Ponapeans. But priest and soldier say, "Don't believe what these Protestant missionaries say. There is no harm in doing what you like to do." And so the good work of rescue and reform that had begun is stopped, and the endeavor seems to be to find the depths of immorality to which human beingscan sink. Some good photographs of scenes in Micronesia were taken by the second mate of the Star. The negatives ought to be secured for printing these views, for which there will probably be quite a demand both here and in the States. Three Christian Marshall Islands chiefs were present at the Calvary Presbyterian Church prayer meeting, Nov. 6. They had came to San- Erancisco to examine the worship and work of American churches. They sang in their own language "Wonderful Words of Life," and their presence at the meeting on such an errand, awakened fresh interest in the possibilities of Christian achievement among the Islanders of the Pacific. Very little has been done on Ponape in cultivation of the land. Notwithstanding the exuberant verdure, the soil is very shallow, the enormous rainfall washing away all depth of soil. A Portuguese, who was induced by false representations to take his family from Honolulu to Jaluit, has turned up on Ponape. He wanted to get some land belonging to the mission, to carry out his plan of building a saloon. So he represented himself to be a member of Fort Street Church. But it did not avail. The Spanish governor has refused to recognize any title of the mission to the land which he has taken for his headquarters. The saloon is built near the Spanish stockade, and the officers take their meals there. Skin diseases of various kinds are prevalent on Ponape; but no case of lepro was seen by Dr. Ingersoll until a few weeks before her departure, a man the presented himself for treatment with unmistakeable marks of that dread malady. . �Volume 47, No. 12.] Romanist Competition in the Gilbert Islands. It transpires by the arrival of the Morning Star that this process, which was to have been sooner expected, has begun. A serious collision had already occurred between the Protestant and Romanist parties. We are not informed who was most to blame. Probably both were in fault. The people, although partially Christianized, retain much of their ancient violence of disposition. The Protestant native catechist was much injured, and only escaped death through the interposition of the white Romish priest, on whose sincere humanity we do not wish to throw needless doubt, although he must have .known that the death of the catechist at his adherents' hands would have brought him into trouble with the Protestant German some government, which exercises authority in that group. We wish to avoid bigotry. With all the terrible faults of practice and errors ot doctrine which characterize the Roman Church, we recognize with admiration and brotherly love the pure character and holy lives of many of her priests and her laity. While we believe that the great body of her people are in spiritual darkness, we believe that man}' do arrive at true spiritual and saving union with God through Jesus Christ, especially among Romanists in Protestant lands, where the priesthood are compelled to come nearer to Gospel truth, and the people imbibe such truth from the Bible atmosphere around them. In the face of the deadly hostility and unsparing denunciation by the Roman Church towards all Protestantism, we are glad to have become able to exercise thus much of Christian charity towards her priesthood and laity. We cordially recognize the missionary heroism of her laborers among the heathen and the undivided devotion of so many of them to their work. While we regard their average work as coming far short of a true evangelization, yet, as in these Islands, where Protestant competition drives them up to a high educational srandard, they often greatly elevate the people out of savagery towards Christian civilization and purity of living. At the same time, we look with a regret which we are at no pains to conceal, at the introduction into the Gilbert 97 THE FRIEND. Islands of an avowedly hostile and ac" tively subversive agency of great power and activity just at the period when the long-delayed triumph of Christian peace and order is being gained in nearly all parts of that very savage group. The Protestant agency there is not a strong one. There are half-a-dozen Hawaiian ministers of limited education, none of them men of special leadership. There is a considerable number of native catechists trained in Mr. Walkup's school in Kusaie. One devoted and active white man is doing perhaps his last work in superintending and directing. It surely ought not to be a difficult task for a band of Romanist priests, easily subsisting where married white men cannot keep their wives, to crowd out the Protestant work and take possession of the ground. Happily, the people have the New Testament and much ofthe Old, and some other Protestant literature for we reckon the Bible as the most efficient of all Protestant books. So do the Romanists; for they never print the Bible for the heathen, and generally burn it when they dare to. It has become very much the fashion especially among the secular papers, which love to propitiate the Catholic voters, to exalt the missionary zeal and heroism of the Catholic priesthood as if superior to that of Protestants. We wish, therefore, to call special attention to the fact that, in Oceanica, if not in other pagan lands, the Roman Catholics have never been the pioneers in evangelization. They have always waited until the Protestants have Christianized the heathens and secured social order, and then they come in and strive to share the harvest, which they have not planted, reaping where they have not sown. 'The only exceptions to this that we know are where Papal governments such as the Spanish or French have forcibly subdued the savages and so facilitated the work of their clergy. In this there is doubtless an economy of force and of means. It is a cheap way of making conquest. But, if heroism is in question, then honor the Protestant pioneers who, for three-quarters of a century, have been breaking ground among savage tribes in Oceanica; and still they are penetrating fresh realms of darkness, in New Guinea, Melanesia, and the western Carolines. Thither, doubtless, the Roman priest will follow them with missal and rosary, as he does — everywhere else, after the conquest is made and the bodily peril is past. With all this, we might be content if Romanism came to lift the people into a higher life. Unhappily, it comes to the lately evangelized heathen to place a yoke upon him of subjection to an Italian priest. It comes to veil the beaming face of Christ in a dense and murky fog of incense to Mary and the saints, and of homage to an almost omnipotent priesthood. It comes as the invariable ally of absolutism and of antagonism to Liberal Government. It is one of the chief retarding factors in the world's progress towards the day of Him who will reign in Righteousness. And yet, like the Jewish priesthood of Pilate's day, these men verily think that they alone are serving God. We can only work on, striving to imitate the patience of Him who, for near nineteen centuries, has borne with all obstacles so patiently. The day of His triumph seems to be approaching. A dwarf can catch just as big a cold a giant. Some people are like a rocking-horse full of motion, but no progress. When a young man starts out for a drink and passes an old drunkard on the way, he can see just how he is likely to look himself in a few years. He is below himself who is not above an injury. Life is too short to be spent in minding other people's business. Revenge is the pleasure of a small and narrow mind. Poverty soon overtakes laziness in the race of life. Truth is stronger than error, righteousness is stronger than evil, life is stronger than death. Always to indulge our appetites is to destroy satisfaction. He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the loom and will find the flaw when he may have forgotten the as cause. Last I knew, you were deep in the Mind Cure. So I was. That was last week. Now I'm in the Faith Cure. I've found out about both. The difference is, in the Mind Cure you don't require any faith; in the Faith Cure you don't require any mind. The Eaith Cure just suits me. Chas. Dudley Warner. — Wherever the tree of benevolence takes root, it sends forth branches above the sky.

Dkar Sir:— In your kindly notice in your November issue of our return to Hawaii nei after an absence of thirty-one years, you say that after my mission to Europe in 1843 I returned to the Islands and started the Lihue plantation. I regret to say that I cannot claim that distinction. The Lihue plantation was started in 1849 by Henry A. Peirce, William L. Lee and Charles R. Bishop. Of this enterprising trio, Mr. Bishop is now the sole survivor. I purchased an interest in the plantation later in the same year or early in 1850, and went to Lihue as resident partner after the first field of cane had been planted, where I aided in putting up the buildings and machinery, remaining there five years, until the plantation, with its water and steam power, was well established. The plantation during this time was in charge of H. A. Widemann. My first plantation experience was ten years before that time, when, in 1839, in company with J. J. Jarves, the author of Jarves' history of the Hawaiian Islands, I took up land at Koloa. That land is now, I believe. a part of the Koloa plantation, which was started by Ladd & Co. somewhere about the year 1836, the first sugar plantation of any note at these Islands. We were at that time verdant youths of twenty years, in search of health, which the plantation life in the open air soon brought to both of us. We were also willing to make our everlasting fortunes at the same time, and fully expected to do so by the cultivation of the morns multicaulis, and the manufacture of raw silk. In this less important enterprise however, we failed, and I left Koloa, to accept a business offer at Honolulu. Jarves however, nothing daunted by the failure of our first venture made a heroic effort to retrieve his fortune, and soon wrote to me, to my astonishment, that he had planted a field of sago, from which he was sanguine of reaping profitable returns. .But as his sago obstinately refused to germinate, he too abandoned the plantation, and came to Honolulu where he started the Polynesian, finding in journalism a more congenial and satisfactory field of labor. In revisiting the scenes and surviving friends of our early married life at these islands, we are realizing the long cherished hopes of our later years. The My [December, 1889 THE FRIEND. cordial greeting we have received from Pearl Lochs. acknowledged. We are amazed and delighted beyond expression at the wonderful progress and prosperity ol which we see the evidences on every hand. And I am especially gratified to see that both Koloa and Lihue, the scenes of my own brief plantation experiences, have had their full share in the general prosperity. May no untoward events occur to retard Hawaiian progress. Yours faithfully, J. !•'. B. Marshall, There seems now to be a definite prospect of an early development of the large estates which the Oahu Railway and Land Co. have acquired around Pearl Lochs and beyond, ensuring the creation of a large paying traffic for the road in addition to that already existing. It also insures the speedy extension over the road to the projected sugar lands ot Honouliuli. Every added mile increases the beauty of the route, and we hope, the profits of the enterprising proprietor of the road. Should, as hoped, the American Government proceed soon to the removal of the bar and construction of a naval depot, Pearl Lochs will become a region of stirring activity. both old and new friends is gratefully Central Union Church Building. Mr. Bordwell, an able architect from San Francisco, has visited and conferred with the church committees, and will soon remit full plans and particulars for the construction of a stone edifice in accordance with the ground plan adopted after long consideration. Over six hundred sittings are provided in the auditorium, with Sunday-school and other apartments of proportionate capacity upon the same floor. It is probable that the stone will be colored vesicular basalt from the Kamehameha quarries. 'This resists lire, and is readily and finely cut. Some $75,000 have been subscribed, with need of much more for such a stone building as is contemplated. It promises to be an ornament to the city. We trust that it may be a place in which we and those who come after us shall truly and humbly worship God, feed upon his word, and grow in all grace and good works. Oahu Railway. Together with 3,600 other people, we are indebted to the Oahu Railway Co. for a delightful trip on the 16th, over its road as far as to Aiea, nine miles. We have since taken tickets and a ride one mile farther, to Kalauao. 'Two or three weeks more ought to open traffic to the Manana station. Every mile of the advance grows more interesting. A deep cut admits the road into Kalauao valley (or Crowow, as an old voyager printed it).

Caldwell, pastor of the Oakwood Boulevard Methodist Church, reported, to the edification of his brethren at the Methodist ministers' meeting, the results of his investigation of Christian Science as a creed. To thoroughly satisfy himself, he had attended a course of twelve lectures given by a prominent exponent of Christian Science, as that doctrine is held in this city, and taken copious notes. He affirms that the name Christian, as applied to such a belief, was a fraud. He considered the name science as applied to such teachings as he heard, to be also a fraud. In the twelve lectures attended, the speaker ignored facts, perverted logic, misstated history, coined phrases and alleged facts. He cited a number of cases ofdeaths and of insanity which were due to belief in the pernicious doctrines of Christian Science, so-called.

Robert W. Wilcox, the leader of the insurrection of July 30th, was acquitted by a jury of Hawaiians, after two pro tracted trials, the first of which was broken off by the mis'onduct of a juryman. His guilt was absolutely proved by the testimony, including his own, nearly the same evidence as that upon which Albert Loomens had previously been promptly convicted of treason by a white jury. We do not think that the native jury intended to commit an act of injustice, although from the point of view of the white man, and of a large body of intelligent natives, they were greatly in error. Three of themselves were for conviction. Aleading element which seems to have turned the minds of the jury, was the quite well established fact, that the King was himself in complicity with Wilcox, who was acting really for the King to destroy the present system of government by the Legislature and its appointees, and to restore the King's formerly nearly absolute power. Like the old Jacobites, to the minds of most Hawaiians, whatever is done by the King and for the King, is legitimate, and cannot be treasonable. Added to this, was a wide-spread sentiment, which had been diligently worked up, that the present government was one usurped by the foreigners, in subversion of the rights of the natives. A race question was made to enter into the merits of the case. Altogether it became in the minds of a majority of the jury a political question, and farther, a national and patriotic one, in which an obligation to side with Hawaiians seemed paramount to their duty of judging according to the law and the evidence. It can hardly be doubted, if the Revo lution of June 30, 1887, had come to issue of battle, and had failed, and its leaders had been tried for treason by a white jury, that they would have been similarly acquitted, in the face of all law and evidence, and this amid general applause. It is true, that in the view of most white men. that Revolution was justified and necessitated by the baseness and corruption of the old regime; and it became established law by the general acquiescence and concurrence of the nation. But on the other hand, as said above, a majority of the natives adhere to their hereditary and instinctive THE FRIEND. loyalty to the King, through thick and thin, right or wrong, and a native jury votes straight on that side. Although most of us would have preferred a conviction, and would like to have had some penalty inflicted for the evil act of attempting to restore a wasteful and degraded government, still there is probably no very great regret, considering that it hail become so much a political question, and that the moral approbation of so large a portion of the people could not be enlisted on the side of justice, but was against it. Possibly it is better as it is. There will probably be less of anger and bitterness in the coming electoral contest, than if further punishment had been add d to the defeat and distress already experienced by the insurgents. An appeal is soon to be made to the ballot. Pali Road. 99 of important further use. In such a book as this, in addition to the close restriction as to space, there are some strict limitations imposed in deference to differing religious and political beliefs which would not control a historian writing independently. Notwithstanding these limitations, we judge that a very readable book is forthcoming as well as one adding materially to our accessible knowledge of Hawaiian History. After Shipwreck.—By J. A. Owen, author of Candalaria, etc. London. pp. 214, 12mo. This little book, just arrived, is written by Mrs. Owen, formerly well known in Honolulu, and sister of Mrs. J. T. Waterhouse, Jr. It consists of nine separate stories, which appear to have been all drawn from the writer's personal experiences in many parts of the world. The scenes are laid in Portugal, Panama, Rocky Mountains, New Zealand, California, Honolulu, Germany and England, beginning with a very realistic and vivid story of the writer's experience of a terrible wreck by collision off the coast of Portugal. The scene of "Tom Powers" is laid in Honolulu. His wife becomes a leper. Mrs. Owen fully endorses the statements of the July Friend about Father Damien's work. The writer's style is such as to make the book a very entertaining, as it is an instructive and wholesome one. It ought to have a good sale in Honolulu. It is very much above the ordinary level of the better class of Sunday-school books, yet is just the book for a Sundayschool library.

Sunday Evening Service. The pastor of the church and the deacons and the older members of the Associations have all expressed an earnest desire to have the Christian young men step more prominently to the front in gospel work, especially in our prayer meetings. But they shrink because of inexperience, in the presence of older and abler workers. Now the best drillground for young Christians known to the writer is the meetings of the Y. M. C. A. Here the young man is surrounded more exclusively by kindred spirits; a common experience begets sympathy, and it is much easier to give n i'ew words of testimony or offer a brie! prayer in the Association meeting than in the large Church meeting. While this is a good place to begin, it is not the place to end. Any work that does not make a young man more valuable and efficient in his church work, is spurious; it is of man and not of God. Kxperience proves that persistent, consecrated effort in the Association work, although it be weak at first will develop strength and efficiency in any well balanced young man. As a practical application of the above principle, a most cordial invitation is extended to all the Christian young men in the city to attend our Gospel Praise Service in the Association Hall every Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock. All young men, Christians or not, strangers or otherwise, will receive a hearty welcome. Below we give the topics for the month: Dec. I—How to win against great odds. 1 Sam. 17:40-50. Z-ech. 4:6. Dec. 8 -Soul thirst satisfied. Ps. 63: 1-8. Dec. 15—Determined men. Daniel 3: 8-18. Dec. 22—"Good Tidings ofGreat Joy." Luke 2:10-20. Dec. 29—The Sum-Total. 13,14. 1 John 3:23. Eccl. 12: The Week of Prayer. The week of prayer for young men, and Young Men's Christian Association work throughout the Christian world, has for several years been a season of spiritual quickening all along the lino. In several instances the interest awakened during that period has resulted in a blessed revival, bringing scores of young men into personal fellowship witth Jesus their long neglected Saviour. While the observance of this favorable season by our Association has not yet led to a like greatly desired result, still we have received help and blessing each year sufficient to prove that the measure of God's bestowed grace and spirit is only limited by our willingness to properly receive and faithfully use His offered mercies. The noonday meetings were not quite so largely attended this year as last, on account of the absence of several of our working members from the city during that week. On Sunday the work of the International Committee was presented by the General Secretary, and a generous coile :tion was made for the work, which augmented by a little personal effort amounted to $ iO, a gain of fifteen dollars over the contribution of any previous year. Although occupying one of the isolated outposts in this grand conflict for God and young men, we are still interested in the great and necessary work being done at the headquarters of the Intel national Committee. Social. Several fruitless attempts to select a propitious evening for the long-plannnd Social resulted in a final choice of Friday evening, Nov. SSd. Other attractions drew away some of our members and friends, but we had a good attendance, and a delightfully pleasant evening was enjoyed by all present. The Y. M. C. A. Boys were invited, and most of the older ones were on hand. There was an encouraging number of young men, some or whom had recently joined the Aesociation, but several were comparative strangers, who greatly appreciated the opportunity to make congenial acquaintances. The programme was purposely short, consisting of a piano solo, artistically rendered by Miss Adele Widdefield, a song by Mr. D. G. Morgan, who had to respond to a well-merited encore, and closing with a recitation by master Eddie Lame. The Reception Committee did excellent service in passing refreshments, introducing strangers and making everybody feel at home, and anxious to have the occasion duplicated as soon as convenient; which we purpose to do, and invite all to come again. Y. M. C. A. Boys. The V.M.C.A. Boys held their annual meeting Thursday p. at., Nov. 7. in the Association parlors. They elected Mrs. B. F. Dillingham President, Mr. S. D. Fuller Vice-President, Willie Whitney Secretary, Charlie Hyde Treasurer. After transacting sornj o'her business, the boys listened to an interesting "talk" by Hon. J. B. Atherton, who had just returned from an extended trip in Furope. He spoke more particularly of his visit in Paris, giving a pleasing description of the great International lixhibi.ion, the Eiffel Tower, and other wonders of that famous city. Items. We have arranged a good beginning for a series of "Familiar Talks" on interesting and popular subjects. The first will be given by General James F. B. Marshall on Tuesday evening, Dec. 3d, in the Association Hall. Subject, Hawaii Fifty Years Ago. The General has been absent from the Kingdom some thirty years, but was a resident here for about twenty years previous to that time. His personal acquaintance with, and activerarticipation in,the events of that early and important period of Hawaiian history will make the above occasion one of interest to old and young. The multitudinous Saturday evening attractions have interfered with the regularity of our Blue Ribbon entertainments, but we have tried to make up in quality what was lacking in quantity, and think we have met with some success. Yet the magnitude of the drinkcurse demands strong, constant and universal opposition. There are a considerable number of young men in the city who are recent arrivals—strangers in a strange land. The Secretary cannot meet them all; will the individual members make it a point as they may meet any of these to extend a V.M.C.A. welcome, and invite them to the Rooms. Endowment Fund. Several Assoc iatiationa in the United Statss have recognized the great advantage of having an endowment fund. They are working up an interest in the matter that has already placed some of the Associations on a firm financial basis of their own. The principal is invested and remains untouched, receiving such additions from legacies and other sources as friends of the work are pleased to make, and when sufficiently large the income is applied to defray current expenses. The Honolulu V.M.C.A. voted to invest the $403.40 received from the widening of Alakea street as the nestegg of such an endowment fund. It now remains for the worldly endowed friends of the Association to fill up the nest. While the population of Portland, Maine, has increased twenty-five per cent, in the past ten years, the City Marshal's last Report shows that arrests for drunkenness have decreased seven per cent, during that period, while arrests for all other causes have increased nearly seven per cent. But people will keep howling that "Prohibition is a failure!" Mr. William Noble, the founder of the Blue Ribbon Gospel Temperance Movement in England, whose serious illness was noticed in December Ust, lias made considerable progress towards recovery, and it is expected by his medical advisers that he will be able to resume his labours in the cause nf temperance during the early spring of next year.

So important a feature of the city as Punchbowl might have been described, and its nature briefly explained. The attention of pupils should he called to the successive streams of lava of which the mountains have been built up. as disclosed by the cutting out of the ravines. Some mention should have been made of the coral reefs, which form so important features of Oahu and Molokai; also that the harbor of Honolulu is formed by a gap in the fringing reef, due to the Nuuaiui stream preventing the growth of coral at that point, also that it is the only harbor where large ships can lie at wharves. The elevated reefs of the Oahu lowlands might have been spoken of; also the cemented dunes of Kahuku and Laic, now sandstone. The causes producing the Pearl lochs might have been briefly stated to good purpose. The bar is scarcely " across the mouth," but u pon the barrier reef, quite out at sea. The three chief mountains of Hawaii are classed together as of gentle slope. Surely we should make at least the old native distinction between the low, smooth dome of Mauna Loa (Long Mountain), the broken outline, steep sides and warty summit of Mauna Kea, and the hillocky contours of Hualalai. This last, by the way, if not called an active volcano, should at least be credited in the text, as it is on the map, with its splendid eruption of 1801. There should be a brief statement of the leading features of lava-flows, especially of the aa and the pahochoe ; alsc* of the ducts and caves. Are not the Haena caves parts of ducts, and not "great bubbles"? The early fertility of inland clinkers might be noted as suited to sweet potatoes, coffee, oranges, etc., as well as to growth of forests. It is hardly correct to say that the Maui isthmus "is composed chiefly of sand-hills," when perhaps there are more acres of growing cane than of sand. The remarkable chasm of Kaliuwaa i» not in Hauula, but in Kaluanui. It should have been more definitely stated that the lepers are housed, clothed and fed by the Government. Nothing in the book suggests the fine old native grass houses. The source and cheapness of lumber might be stated. Nothing is said of minerals, and of the absence of metals and coal. Kaula and Lehua should be described as "horseshoe-shaped craters," as well as Molokini. It should be stated that on these three islands, as well as on Diamond Head, and all other tufa cones, the highest part is to the south-west, and why it is so. It is always easy to pick flaws.

But ten years hence will be the time fur retrospect of this wonderful century. Now, we recall what the past decade has witnessed. Here in Hawaii, in brief, during these ten years, our material development has been immense. Population has in creased forty per cent., mainly by immigration, our large Japanese element being wholly new. Our exports of sugar, rice, bananas, etc., have increased fivefold. Our schooners have given place to a large fleet of steamers. In Honolulu have grown long blocks of stately warehouses, thick webs of telephone lines, electric lights, and many hundreds of acres of beautiful home lots, with attractive residences. Kawaiahao Seminary and Oahu College rebuilt and enlarged, Kamehameha Schools erected. Some twenty miles of graded trons as JANUARY, and macadamized streets in the city and twice that amount of good carriage roads in the outer districts of the island. G rresponding improvement has been seen throughout the group during the past decade, notably in the creation of the Kaliului and Mahukona Railways, as well as in the just completed and finely equipped Oahu Railway. In political affairs, we have taken a long step forward, never to be retraced, out of arbitrary personal government, to the government of the people. Our National Independence is becoming more completely assured. Our Financial Credit is rising into the high place of honor. In social and public morals, we believe that we have made progress, and certainly have not gone backward. Is not Honolulu, are not these Islands, better places, wherein to train a family of children in purity, in integrity, in efficient activity, than they were ten years ago? Assuredly we believe they are, and thank God that it is so. In Religion, in religious activity, in religious work, have we not also made marked progress ? Witness our Y. M. C. A. building and the various lines of work that center around it and our churches, which have grown up during the past decade. May we not thankfully believe that during this time there has been a large and happy personal growth, and elevation of the average standard of Christian charity, patience, hope and consecration? And now, as these Nineties of the old Century are upon us, Christian brothers, let us reach forth to higher and better things beyond. Material and Political Development seems likely to continue. Another ten years may witness even wore progress than the last. But of some nobler things than these we are called to make sure. Shall we not in faithful work, in earnest communion with our Lord, in patient self control, grow wiser, stronger, purer, as these years pass over us, and the Twentieth Century hastens on. Many of us will not stay to witness it. But all who love the Lord, shall come with Him at His grand appearing. May our record of kindness wrought, of life wi.rds spoken, of Christ lived in our lives, be such, that we shall 1890. 1 The Friend.

The spirit of good will and good cheer which Christmas inspires has never been more manifest in Honolulu than dnrini, the week before and after the sacred Natal day. On Sunday morning the 22d, a Chil dren's Christmas service was held in the Central Union Church by the 350 Sund. y scholars, with Christmas cantata, son.;--, recitations, responsive exercises and ad dresses, the infant classes taking their part. The church, of course, was charmingly decorated with flowers. Christmas Praise Service was held in the evening. On Tuesday evening, a large company of the children of the Sunday and day schools connected with the Chinese church met at their church and received presents. Many friends and contributors attended. On Thursday evening, Santa Ciaus appeared personally in great force in the Central Union Church, mounting a huge chimney and popping out of the fire place. He must have had a railroad train to transport all the gifts he distributed witii merry speechts, amid the uproar of the delighted children. The most interesting entertainment Wl 8 said to have been at the Japanese Lyceum, on Friday evening. Tfne Japanese are experts in such things. Their Sanl.t Claus was equipped with palm-leaf winf;-, and darted around with preternatural agility. We personally acknowledge a kirni nemento from our dear Mrs. Taro And ■>, received by the hands of Santa Claus. The last festival of the kind was held si the Armory on Saturday eve, the 28th, for the children and youth of the Portuguese Sunday school—reported to have been a very satisfactory and delightful occasion. A letter to the Gazette of December from Lihuc, Kauai, reports a pleasant entertainment to 123 Japanese, at the residence of Hon. W. H. Rice. After the repast, they inspected the parlors, and were wonder-struck at the piano and its musical capabilities. Rev. Mr. Hasawara addressed them, "in eloquent words bcseeking them to turn to God, to abjure their false religion, and to walk in the right path." A collection was then taken up, either to send to the Japanese associatio 1 in Honolulu, or to be the foundation of a 21 st similar association on Kauai. �THE FRIEND. 2 The American Civil Sabbath. An Add res. at Lo. Angeles, Cal., m Hazard's Pavilion. by Rev. Wilbur F. Cralts, r'ield Secretary of the AsSeneSn Sabbath I'nion, Coming westward I instructed myself as to the comparative size ol Fastern and Western States by cutting up a railroad map. I found that to cover California required ten Atlantic States, —all of New England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. As the people of California, like other Western people, are so manifestly deficient in local pride, 1 suggest that this deficiency tie corrected in the next generation by setting the children at this map exercise, feeding the little States of the Atlantic shore to this sea monster of the Pacific. Surely this State will have no lack of wealth. But it will not rise by booms. It is about as safe to rise by bombs. It is dangerous to have either of these in your hands when they "go off." Raising corner lots is not your best crop. Your soil is rich, not only in precious metals, but in the gold of your peaches, your oranges, your wheat; in the silver of your buckwheat and your olive-trees; in the greenbacks of your corn and vines. An Easterner is in danger of mistaking your strawberries for red apples, your peaches fcr cantaloupes, and your fields of pumpkins for a meteoric showei of fallen planets. (Laughter and applause.) But extensive territory, numerons population, and immense wealth do not make a State great, only big, like Russia. Char acter is essential to greatness in States as well as in individuals California will never be one of the three greatest States, in the true sense of the word, until she is one of the three best. (Applause. ) She must learn to yield not only gold, and grapes, and grain, but also, with equal abundance, honesty, morality, and charity; and these can no more be produced without the Sabbath than your fruits without water. California is the only one of our States without a civil Sabbath. Not New Jersey, but California is the foreign land. The only other spot in the civilized world without a Sunday law is France. If you would not be a " Frenchy" but an American commonwealth, and would draw for permanent residents the best American families, you must cast out the French Sunday and foster THE. AMFRICAN SABBATH. The American Sabbath Union, which I represent, stands for this American Sabbath, —the golden mean between the Puritan Sabbath on the one extreme and the Continental Sunday on the other. The American Sabbath Union is a union of true Americans of all sections to sentinel the American Sabbath. By "true Americans" I mean Americans in spirit. There are real German-Americans, real IrishAmericans. In this sense the Irish immigrant, who said he had concluded to take America for his native land, could have done so. On the other hand, some who were born Americans have apostatized by adopting the foreign saloon and its Siamese twin, the foreign holiday Sunday. Apart from all religious considerations, the true patriot should reject the Continental Sunday as the "holiday of despotism." So Hallam, the great philosopher of history, calls it, bidding us note that the despots of Europe have studiously cultivated a love of Sunday pastimes to keep the people quiet under political distresses; that is, the holiday Sunday, which is offered to us by Continentals as the very insignia ot " personal liberty," is rather its substitute, the tinsel bauble which shrewd monarchs have given to the adult infants of the Continent in place of the ballot of freemen. There is no instance of a stable, long-continued popular government where the people have kept themselves in perpetual infancy by devoting their G< d-given Rest Day to Sunday dissipation and its twin, Sunday toil. Who would be surprised to hear to-morrow that France, of the holiday Sunday, had thrown away her republicanism as a spoiled child throws away a toy? The only ism a man needs to make him defend the American Sabbath is patriotism. Those who make the most franticprotest against any change in the American Constitution are foremost in efforts to overthrow this chitf American institution. American institutions are the very roots of the American Constitution, and the American Sabbath is the very tap-root of them all, supplying the people with the physical, mental, and moral vitality necessary to self-government. (Applause.) No paper that seeks to uproot the American Sabbath has a right to put the word "American" in its name. [January, 1890. : put up in his melon patch this sign "Boys, do not touch these melons, for they are green and Cod sees you." The church exhorts men against Sunday work and Sunday dissipation because God sees and will-punish; but the State forbids these things only because they are unhealthy to the body politic, as will as to the individual, physically, mentally, morally, and politically. A college president, having discovered two sophomores hazing, called them into his presence while his wrath was warm, and said: "Gentlemen, such conduct is displeasing to (iod, and whafs more I won't stand it" The church says of Sabbath desecration Such conduct is displeasing to God; but the state says of Sunday work : What is more to us, charged to protect, not divine but human rights, we won't stand it, —the perpetual treadmill of toil, labor witho it leisure. (Applause.) : 'The theory that the present "SundayRest Movement" is only a scheme to unite cherch and state encounters the difficulty that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Knights of Labor, in their intt rnational conventions of 1888, approved it; but this difficulty is summarily disposed of by our opponents with the histerical statement that these bodies only indorsed our petition because "I pleaded with them." The fact is that I began my first address to a labor organization, the Central Labor Union of New York city, byreading the action against Sunday work which the Buffalo Labor Union had taken on its own motion; and so my key-note at the Brotherhood Convention was the bitter cry of four hundred and fifty engineers of the Vunderbilt roads for a Sabbath of rest, written by themselves years before I undertook Sibbath reform; in fact, that flamSunday laws are not "religious legisla- ing appeal was the torch at which I lighted tion" because they come from the Biblr the rid lantern 1 have since been swinging any more than the laws against adultery, in froi tof Sunday trains.

The first part of that history is repeating as crimes against man. Put, then, into the religious Sabbath as itse'f in our land. (Cod forbid, patriots its water-mark the word "sin," relating to forbid, that the last part of it should be rewrongs done to God, and into the ci\il peated.) We are being invaded by an Sabbath as its water-mark theword "crime," army if Continentals who desire to break down our institutions in the interests of referring to wrongs done to man. There are many who believe that the their Lsis, and who march in upon us with State is accountable to God, as well as the our sacred word "liberty" as their shield. It is :r picture worthy of a comic alindividual, and should forbid itself to sin, and may therefore forbid Sabbath-breaking manac, these unwashed refugees from deson higher grounds than the wrong it brings potism, who never saw liberty in their lives, to man, but there are grounds enough thai and w uldn't know it if they saw it, offerare purely human to justify him who holds ing themselves as teachers of liberty to the most secular theory of government in Ainerit .ins. As usual, in such cases, we ..sk thru- professors of liberty, "Where defending the civil Sabbath. did you grad'iate? Who was your teacher?" A homely illustration or two will make They answer, "Bismarck." (Laughter and this point clear. A shrewd lowa farmer applause.) Now we understand what they �mean by "personal liberty," the liberty of Bismarck, the liberty of that one person to do what he likes, reg irdless of the rights of all below him. The reversed "Bismarcks" who come to this country believe, each of them, in the "personal liberty" of one person to do what he likes, regardless of the rights of all above him. We do not believe in any such "personal liberty" but in popular liberty, the liberty of the whole people, and the liberty of the person only so far as it is consistent with the liberties of the populace. (Applause.) In many places it Iris happened that the barbers have circulated among themselves a signed agreement for Sunday closing, knowing that Sunday w.irk, like swearing, is serving Satarr witlio t pay; that the same profit is made by the barbers of a town or city when they work six days as when they work seven. One barb r ref ises to sign, and so all the others think they must keep u|> their Sunday work, list some shiftless customer, on a cold or rainy Saturday, may not come to his usual barber, because he knows that an..ther will be open on the morrow. So the liberty of one man or a few becomes the Sunday slavery t fa whole trade. In such a case law comes in, and, by "Sunday closing" of all the barber shops, proclaims what all sensible barbers will do, and the one foolish barber must do, for his own good and the good of others. (Applause). It is sometimes said by opponents of Sabbath laws that "government has no right to dictate how a man shall spend the day." But at quarantine g .vemment proves its right to dictate how a man shall spend a fortnight, when the general good requires it. Sabbath laws are consistent with liberty, in part, because they are health laws; in part, a's i, because tiny are laws for the prevention of crime. In Ireland, partial "Sunday closing" of saloons cut down the Sunday arrests fifty one per cent. In Scotland, more complete "Sunday closing" cut down the Sund ty arrests seven eighths, and the total consumption of liquors onefourth, proving Sunday (losing one-fiUrtti prohibition, a q lartcr loaf of unpoisoned bread which prohib tioii sts should j in with less radical men in giving to communities not yet ready for complete prohibi tion, as an appetizing sample. When saloons were open on Sunday in Cincinnati, I am told, the city prosecutor said that one-third of all the crimes of that citywere Sunday crimes. When its saloons are closed on Sunday, even "Muriatic Halstead" admits that on that day the police have almost nothing to do. (Applause). Sabbath laws are therefore con sistent with liberty in the same way as other less t ffective laws for the prevention of crime. These are our answers to the "Personal Liberty Leagues," and to those who are victims of their sophistries. They agree with THE FRIEND. natural right to rest one day in seven. It is only in the exigencies of debate that they argue that a man should work seven days for a weeVs wages. We go a step farther, and hold that in this age of corporations and of competition, employees cannot be secure in the enjoyment of this natural right to a day of rest unless the state protects it. Louisiana for many years had ever increasing Sunday dissipa tion and Sunday, toil because there was no Sabbath law, as the Seventh-day people desire should be the case everywhere. In 1886 the people of Louisiana gave up the Seventh day Adventist plan of the lawless Sunday, which have been weighed and found wanting. Let California do likewise. (Applause). 'The Sabb .tic Eden of the workingmen can only be pr tected by the angel of law, as one has said, standing at the gate with flaming sword, to keep back the spoiler. The state has nothing to do with the arguments for and against "the change of day,"—only with the wish of the majority, harmonized to the rights of the minority. But I may turn aside to say that in the Fourth Commandment, to which both parties appeal, there is no seventh day of the week, but only a seventh day after six of work. 'This is a great constitutional provision. The Saturday Sabbath of the Jews and the Lord's day Sabbath of Christians are only by-laws. The Fourth Commandment can be obeyed by keeping either day, but society cannot wisely encourage or protect more than one of them.

Glasgow: James Hamilton, 182 Irongate, 1888. pp. 302. This book comes to us from the author, through the kindness of Mr. Francis Sinclair. The writer spent a fortnight in July, 1886, with relatives at Makaweli, Kauai. Seventy two pages are devoted to these Islands. The whole consists of a series of letters, originally addressed to the Otago Witness. The writer is unusually His descriptions of animated and spicy scenery are good. We commend him to the excerptive industry of the Paradise of the Pacific. He is very fairly accurate as to what he saw. Perhaps his fancy gets the better of him in reporting things more remote, as in the follwing bit of history; "His (Kamehameha I.) sagacious mind per welding the many into one united whole, and forthwith he set himself to the task of persuading his fellow chiefs and countrymen into his way of thinking. It was a big contract, however, to take up, for in addition to political difficulties, there were several hundred miles of waterway to bridge over with war canoes. But having once grasped the situation, he determined to do the job thoroughly. Beginning at one end of the archipelago, he clubbed and ate his way steadily onward from cmc island toanother, not hurriedly and spasmodically like an ordinary savage, but calmly and evenly, as became a great monarch with a settled purpose and an unimpaired us that man has a digestion. Kamehameha had no field artillery wired the advantage of 3 Volume 48. No. I.] but a club and no camp 'fixrns' but a gridiron; he had no commissariat whatsoever, and so long as any enemies remained ahead, he required none. It was the cheapest and best managed campaign on record, ami the olher Napoleon, he of St. Helena, repented in sackloth and ashes that he had not journeyed to Moscow in the same simple fashion." Very good indeed —as a burlesque. As to the fact, the Hawaiians were" quite as far from being cannibals as Scotchmen ever were. Besides, Kamehameha owed his success to his musketry, and to sbme small artillery served by his chief aide, John Young. There is some more about Kamehameha in the same lively and inaccurate strain. The writer describes Mr. Cruzan's preaching, a session of the Legislature, the Chinese quarter, a Fourth of July, Mr. Gibson's career, a cattle drive, and various other notabilities and marvels. If he has presented the other countries he visited with equal liveliness and accurary his book is of real value. Very nice precision cannot be expected from the hasty observations of hurrying 'globe-trotters.' The Lily Among Thorns. A study of the Biblical Drama entitled the Seng of Songs. By William Elliot Griffis, D.D., Pastor of Shawmu Cong. Church, Boston. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1890, pp. x, 274. 'The dreamy age of allegorical exposition of "Solomon's Song" seems to be passing away. Dr. Griffis happily discards all that mass of confused and contradictory nonsense, and following the lead of Ginsburg of England and Delitzsch of Germany, with a wide outlook among recent Hebraists and Bible Critics, has adopted the plain, common sense interpretation of this noble drama as a glorification of faithful wedded love standing firm against worldly blandishments. The lovely virgin Shulamite abides faithful and true to her "beloved" shepherd. She steadfastly resists all the seductions of the licentious Solomon, into whose harem she has been borne, and whose queens and concubines lend their aid to captivate her. Surely, next to loyalty to our Lord, no nobler or holier lesson can be taught to God's people than that of wedded fidelity, and the pure, intrepid, unfaltering love of wife and husband, and no lesson more worthy of a place in the sacred Scriptures. We thank the modern expositors who have uncovered and disclosed to us this noble Bible lesson of which an army of deluded allegor sts from Origen to Matthew Henry had defrauded the church. We especially thank Dr. Griffis for presenting the lesson in a handy popular form, snd so attractively. Some two years ago we had the pleasure of noticing Dr. Griffis' biography of Comm. Matthew Galbraith Perry. The display of Christmas goods in the and the crowd of buyers unprecedented, and increasing up to the last moment.

Sunday Trains. No one has more heartily welcomed the opening of the Oahu Railway than the Friend. Like all new and active ivements, it brings new conditions with itself and opens new questions, affecting social and other conditions. Prominent among these, is the relation of Railway work to the Sabbath. Is there to be Sunday rest for the tired employees, or is their toil to be ceaseless, and their watch unbroken ? Are our Sundays to be quiet, or are they to have added disturbance from crowded excursion trains going and coming ? Many, perhaps a majority of the directors 1 the Oahu Railway are Christian men and we believe, desire to do what is right in this matter. Have they acted thus far under sufficient light, or in accord. :.:ice with it ? One of our worthy daily journals jauntily settles the question to its own satisfaction by talking of "adwinced Christianity," commending to our example the Continental style of Sunday, and advising us to look hack no more to the "Puritan Sabbath." We stick somewhat at the "Continental" Sunday. A friend tells us how he went to church with some friends in Germany in the morning, and was invited to accompany them to a horserace Sunday afternoon ! We don't seem to feel quite "educated up" yet to the Continental way of doing things. Apropos of Continental ideas, however, we clip the following from the Chicago Interior : The Examiner has had an interesting talk with Mr. John U. Trevor, who recently spent a month in Paris. He attended a meeting of the railroad officials of every important line in Europe. Among other topics discussed was that of Sunday excursion trains, and the testimony was unanimous against their being continued. The chief ground of this testimony anil vote was that these trains were demoralizing, and robbed worthy employees of their Sunday rest. Mr. Trevor was surprised and delighted to see the unanimity of this conviction in so intelligent and influential a meeting of practical railroad managers. Another thing. The habit is very wide in Paris for shop girls to deliver new dresses on Sunday. Hut when a Christian woman refused to receive a dress brought on that day, the bearer of it expressed her pleasure, and wished that the habit of declining to receive new dresses on Sunday might become universal, for the reason, as she said, that dressmakers could hardly be said now to have any Sunday rest at all. It would be well for those people who are ambirious to see the European continental Sunday in the United States to give these facts a place in their thoughts. Would it not be worth the while of the directors of the Oahu Railway to avail themselves of the experience of the Con- tinental railway managers, at least so far as to inquire if the reported information of Mr. 'Trevor is correctly given. It must be admitted that an indispensable element in the successful conduct of any business is a sound physical and moral condition in its employees. Will not this running of Sunday trains on our Honolulu railway be found too "demoralizing" to the minds, and too damaging to the bodies of its employees, for the best success of the business they carry on ? This is looking at the subject merely from a business, money-making point of view. We are not trying to settle any principles as to the Sunday question. Able writers have enlightened the public (or darkened their minds) abundantly. We only venture to make a few suggestions. We want just to say something about the "Puritan Sabbath," which was undoubtedly very rigid in some of its observances, although less so than the Scotch Sabbath(We take it that our readers are none of them so absurdly ignorant as to swallowany of the yarns of that Cockney fraud Peters about the so-called "Blue Laws'' which existed only in Peters' inventive mind. 'They possess the same value as the story about the Quaker who was so opposed to ornament that he would not eat striped beans.) No doubt our noble Puritan forefathers overdid somewhat in their sanctifying of the Holy day. We seem to be in little danger of imitating their excess of strictness. Our tendencies are very much the other way But it may be just worth our while to consider that the Sabbath keeping New Englanders and the Sabbath keeping Scotchmen happen to be the two foremost peoples of the whole world as to material success. New England is the most bleak and stormy portion of the United States. Yet Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island without coal or iron or petroleum or fertile soil own more wealth to the square mile and to the population than any other states in the Union. Perhaps the "Puritan Sabbath" had something to do with that. Best go a little slow about decrying the Puritan Sabbath. Scotland is the coldest and most unproductive part of Great Britain. But she is a land of mem and a land of mighty eneigy, and wealth production. Possibly the Scotch Sabbath has had something to do with making manhood, which is at the root of everything worth having on this earth. Most people think it rather a desirableone to live in. It must be acknowledged to be on the whole, a remarkable success, socially and financially. 'The managing of the country has been laid very much to the missionaries. There is a little trifle of railing going on just now at "the missionaries" for having so much of s linger in the pie. Well, the missionaries, it must be owned, have had considerable influence in shaping things in this country. Among other things, they secured a "Puritan Sabbath" here, which has held its ground to the present time, subject to the modifications and amendments which increasing light and changing social conditions have made proper. We have a strong conviction that the high degree of social well being and financial prosperity which exist in this kingdom are due to the observance of Sunday rest and worship and the powerful religious and moral influence which have gone with the Sabbath. Our Hawaiian Sabbath has been the parent of an abundance of noble manhood, among both Hawaiians and white men. The character, the energy, the intelligence, the integrity which Sabbath observance has fostered and cherished, have created all our rich success, and have made us a land of enterprise and business confidence, and of productive and multiplying wealth. Be very careful, good friends, how you turn against the Sabbath strictness which has waited upon all our past prosperity, even if you do not hold with us that it has been essential to it. In another column will be found a word from the R. C. Archbishop Ireland on Sunday railway work. Our readers will not suppose him to be dominated by "Puritan" ideas. We also print the larger part of a very lively adtlress by Wilbur Y. Crafts upon the American Civil Sabbath. It will be found very entertaining, as well as in- structive.

The Annual for 1890 has come to hand. It is the sixteenth year of its publication. We have especial pleasure in noticing this interesting nrrmber. Fifty-six pages are occupied with calendars and with a great variety of tables and statistics. Sixty-one pages are devoted to various articles by experts, the most int> resting if which perhaps, is the first, by Prof. W. D. Alexander, " Early Visitors to the Hawaiian Islands," the fruit of the writer's recent careful studies of Hawaiian History Closely allied to this is an article, | r. sumnbly by the Editor, on Hawaiian Maritime H s tory, giving an account of the early coasters, reviving in the present writer's mind some wretched reminiscences of voyages in the thirties on board the brigs and schooners Becket, Niu, Hooikaika and the like.

Baldwin contributes a graphic account of an ascent of Mauna Kea. Messrs Auld and Jaeger supply information about the many varieties of indigenous and imported bananas grown here. Dr. Wetmore describes a considerab'e number of the fishes common to this pirt of the Pacific. We are glad to learn from the Annual that a b ok of some fifty colored lithograph plates of our beautiful variegated fishes is soon to appear. Dr. Hyde gives an account of the foundation of our noble Kamehameha Schools and of their present condition and progress. There are three pages of most useful information fir t nirists. A translation of an address by the distinguished Ha waiian Statesman John li, carries us back int the heathen past, when he himself in early youth, was offic al guardian if the goddess Kihaw.ihine, a fact that seems difficulty of belie f t> us who ri member him only as a devout and zealous Christian and d'gnilied gentleman. Several of the tables seem to us new— we are not certain which. It looks as if one might learn from thtm almost any desired fact as to postages, dutits, imports, production, freights, fares, heights, distances, temperatures, and everything else that can be made matter of statistics. Manifestly the able collator has put into this number of the Annual the best of his long experience and accumulated knowledge of the Islands. The wh Ac series of these Annuals form unquestionably the fullest and most accurate existing compendium for reference respecting the Hawaiian • Islands. 5 THE FRIEND. Rescue the Perishing!

(The italics are ours. Ed.) One's heart goes out to a man who speaks such earnest Gospel wi rds as the above. 'They have no charm of novelty. We are wont to hear such words and to read them weekly in our religious journals. We especially rejoice in this particular utterance, because it sounds like the genuine zeal of a soul kindled by the Divine Spirit of God, albeit of one at war with us ecclesiastically. It is from a sermon by Archbishop Ireland, preached at the Catholic Centt-nary in Baltimore. Veri'y Christ has true followers and faithful servants in all the churches of His name, even in those the most in error. Those churcht s which most faithfully realize in act such txhort..tions, are the churches which will draw the most men into their fold. Japanese Scientific Teachers in China. We find reported, apparently on good authority, the fact that Japanese instructors in modern Applied Science are being employed in pre.vincial training schools and arsenals in China. 'The very singular fact is also stated that they teach in the English language. This is a curious outcome of the eager progress of Japan in the wisdom of Christendom. The Japanese have got some twenty years start of China in this They have great schools and matter. univt rsities, and have becou c near y in- dependent of foreign teachers. 'The Chinese are only beginning to awaken to the necessity of modem science. That necessity is forced up n ihem by naval und military needs, .s well as by their incipient rai road and telegraphic construction, and the call for developing mines and iron w rks.

It is expected that a scholarship for Hawaiian youth will soon be estab ished in the Pacific Theological Semin,.ry of Oakland, Calif rnia. Three thousand dollars is the sum required, more than half of which has been pledged. The scheme was originally suggested by Dr. Dwinell during his late visit here, not indeed in interest of his school, but in behalf of a more highlytrained native ministry. His observations here quickly suggested the need of it. The plan is to grant competent post graduates of the North Pacific Missionary Institute, or such other youth as it maybe thought wise, a stay of two or three years in the States, where, under wise instructors, they may be enabled to enter into the larger life and thought of to day and get acquainted with our American Christian workers. The summer intervals of such youth studying abroad might profitably be spent in home work among the native churches. Thus interest in the Hawaiian field could be kept up, and the home feeling never be lost. The Chinese Mission. It takes but a glance at the work which is being done in our Chinese mission (such a glance as we lately got at the Christmas festival) to know how hopeful a work it is and how fruitful of good to us all. That band of educators and Christian workmen cannot fail of a decisive influence on the Chinese question. Whatever action the government will take about the matter, its settlement is really in the hands of that mission. Should more Chinese come to our shores our only hope would be in this mission. Should we be obliged, as in all decency we ought, to keep those we now have, still our safety will be in that mission. At its altar must be found the place of touch between 'the Eastern and the Western civilizations. Here is ground broad enough for all to stand on. Lift the pagan up to it, and also the nominal Christian, and there will be no crowding. We are inclined to believe that we discover a providence in our present mixture of populations which is very gracious and very wise if we will but accept it. It certainly may be made such a providence for the Chinaman, now how about the white man and the native ? us see. Just as the native workman is beginning to weaken and fail us as a partner in our industries, behold this man of brawn, this tireless, multitudinous worker from across the sea has stepped in to help. This man comes not in antagonism, but in a friendly way; alliance, with the Polynesian is attractive to him, he has been welcomed into the Native family. Such alliance if made in good faith, may be fruitful of got d. It his been proved so. Things have come to such a pass that this infusion of new blood into the native race is seemingly a necessity. And to whom, in its depletion and sore necessity, may this Benjamin among the tribes look for new members to be adopted into its family with more naturalness than to these who level so nearly to them./ But if the Chinaman is to be admitted as a member of the native family he must be Christianized. So only will he become a strong staff to lean upon. His thrift must become Christian and his industry also; his fortitude, his patience and tenacity of purpose must be linked to faith. Let this be done and these Chinese-Hawaiian alliances cannot but be full of promise. This is not theory, it is fact borne out in many instances. When in the home such unions have been cemented, the issue has proved markedly happy. We noticed at the Christmas festival that some of the brightest wilted and most fair of face were part native. 'Some of these Chinese children by native mothers speak the three languages, English, native, and Chinesi-, fluently. The superiority of these half-Chinese halfnative children has been ny re than once remarked by Mr. Damon, the Superintendent of the Mission. In this way, then, the Chinaman is proving a valuable colonist. When he becomes an h nest husband, he makes a provident father^ If, then, these Chinese-Hawaiian alliances are to be made, let us see to it that it is done with the sanction of a Christian faith, and to those who are engged in achieving this result let us pledge anew for the coming days our most generous support. From Kona. "In many respicts Knna has been egregiously slandered. In regard to climate, variety and beauty of scenery and freedom from storms, it is unsurpassed. A large extent of soil, if cleared and cultivated, would prove equally or more pro- ductive than one-half the sugar plantations on the Islands. "As for water there is no district of the group where showers are more uniform and abundant one year with another. "The materials for road making cannot be better. With proper tools and with skillful and got d common sense, and a moderate amount of Übor, we might have the best of roads and a good supply of fresh water. "And then there is nut a more beautiful bay or a safer landing in Hawaii thi.n where Ca|<t Jas. Cot'k fell. "Yet as things are, all is poverty, desolat'on and spiritual death, a good field for Christian evangehz tion is this 'lonely dreadful' Kon •, even as the great Captain of ot.r salvation came to seek and to save the lost, and 'to the poor the Gospel is preached.' "We want a self denying worker (native) to take the place made vacant by the death <>f Kaonohimaka. That part of Kona is now left to waste. All southern Kona is also destitute. "This side of Hawaii should have a foreign evangelist. "The thi i-ght has come and pressed itself upon me that the Board (American) ought to send an evangelist with as little delay as possible to be located at this old missionary post, or as near it as practicable. M;iy we not pray that the mantle of the Fathers Thurston and Bishop will fall on some one or more of the young men en route for real missionary work? Here is a field already white for the harvest. "We want men whether haoles or natives —men full of the Holy Ghost and of the love of Christ. "Th re are hundreds of children and youth here (over a thousand) starving for the bread of life. "The idea of a man being lonely in Kona ! Are missionaries sent out to the heathen that thty may have good society? Let the early missionaries to these islands speak out! What good, naked, lively society they had ! ! Some thirty-seven years ago, Matanui from the Marquesas knocked at our door "Me wants mitioat Kuapehu and said nari". Kekela (now at the Marquesas) coming in a few hot rs later, I said to him, 'Here is a call from the Lord. Will you go and preach the Gospel to the heathen on the Marquesas ? He answered without hesitation, "Yes, I will ask Naomi, and if she consents, we will go." : "I expect to pass through this world but once; if, therefore, there be any good thing I can do to any fellow human being, let me d i it now, for I shall not pass this way again."

The Young Men's Christian Association of Boston reports an addition of 669 new meuibrrs during the month of October, 180 of whom took tickets for the gymnas iurn.

Ah, yes; I see. "The music is not good;" that's a pity; that's what we go to church for, to hear the music. And the less we pay, the better music we demand. "And the pews are not comfortable;" that's too bad; the Sabbath is a day of rest, and we go to church for repose. The less work we do during the week, the more rest we clamor fe>r on Sunday. "The church is so far away; it's too far to walk, and you detest riding in a street car, and they're always crowded on Sunday." That is indeed distressing; sometunes when I think how much farther ..way heaven is than the church, and that there are no conveyances on the road of any description, I wonder how some of us are going to get there. "And the sermon is so long always." All these things are indeed to be regretted. 1 would regret them more sincerely, my boy, did I not know that in a few weeks after the frost is out of the ground, you will squeeze into a stuffy street car with a hundred other men, bre. thing incense of whiskey, beer and tobacco and hang on a strap by your eyelids for two miles, then pay fifty cents for the privilege of sitting on a rough plank in the broiling sun for two hours longer, while in the intervals of the game a scratch band will blow discord and thunder out of a dozen misfit horns right in your viry ears, and come home to t ilk the rest of the family into a state of aural paralysis about the "dandiest game you ever saw played on them grounds." Ah, my boy, you see what staying away from church does? It developes a habit of lying. There isn't one man in a hundred who could go on a witness stand and give under oath, the same reasons for not going to church that he g ves to his family every Sunday morning. My son, if you didn't think you ought to go, you wouldn't make any excuse for not going. No man apologizes for doing right.— Burdette. At a dinner at the Astor House, when Daniel Webster was Secretary of State under President Fillmore, after a period of silence which fell upon the company of s me twenty gentlemen who were present> one of the guests said "Mr. Webster, will you tell me what was the most important thought that ever occupied your mind." Mr. Webster slowly passed his hand over his forehead, and in a low tone inquired of one near him "Is there any one here who does not know me ?'' "No; all are your friends." "The most important thought that ever occupied my mind," said Mr. Webster, "was that of my individual responsibility to God." And alter speaking on this subject in the most solemn strain for twenty minutes he silently rose from the table and retired to his room. This incident, related by Harvey in his Reminiscences, serves to illustrate the attitude of great minds towards eternal things. Great men are not scoffers. The men of flippant sneers and godless jests are men of small calibre and shallow intellect. It is not the wise man who has "said in his heart there is no God.'' It is not the great man who casts off fear and restrains prayer before Him. Christian Thought. : A Lottery Mania. Do you see that man across the street ? Mark him well, my son. Three years ago he drew a prize of $150 in a southern lottery. He was a happy, industrious man before he won that prize. It ruined him. He has sunk every dollar he could borrow, beg or earn in that same luckless lottery. Look at him now. Look at him good. He has only one object in life. He wants to He is a lottery draw the capital prize. maniac. If you ever feel any symptoms of his disease coming over you, my boy, get down on your knees and pray for de-1 verance, and then hunt this man up and take a good look at him.

You may run and play now, my boy.—Bob Burdette. : : — A well-known revenue agent, late of Chicago, where millions of cigarettes are manufactured, was spoken to on the subject of cigarettes. "I used to be a confirmed cigarette smoker, but now you could not induce me to touch one of them," he said. "Why, how's that ?" "Well, its because I went into a large manufacturing place in Chicago, and what I saw there sickened me of the imitation smokers. How are they made, and of what ? Of all that is vile and injurious and mean. Cigar butts, picked up from the streets, barks of certain kinds, tobacco stems and refuse are heaped together in one filthy pile, and then saturated with opium, which gives the cigarrettes that soothing effect desirable to all smokers. I tell you, sir, if all cigarette smokers could see as I have seen, how one of the great-, est firms in Chio.igo manufacture cigarettes, the trade in the same would soon fall off or cease entirely."— Time Table.

He is poor and unknown; his glory is the glory of a loving self-sacrifice; his power the power of absolute truth. When Pilate asks him, "Art thou a king, then?" he answers "To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth." Truth is his palace, his bodyguard, his army. Wherever his kingdom goes, there go not palaces, nor feastings, nor displays of any sort; his kingdom still comes without observation. But instead there go with it the church, the schoolhouse, and the home; wisdom diffused, education made universal, wealth distributed. This kingdom, whose glory is unselfish and unsensuous, is a kingdom without end. Lyman Abbott. The exhaustless treasure of God's "riches of grace" which is placed at the service ofany one who asks, includes the mighty diamond of forgiveness, the precious pearl ofrighteousness, the gold of his truth, hope, peace, heaven, but pre-eminently and the source of all the rest, His own Son, who, "though rich, became poor, that we through his poverty might be made rich."

The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well; and doing well whatever you do. Lots of 'em. "Cheap patriots, invisible in war, invincible in peace," who ever come further to the front as danger recedes. Is life worth living ? That cannot be answered by yes, or no. It all depends upon what kind of a life you are living. We love ourselves with all our faults; we must love our friends in like manner, for we shall never find any without imperfections. Don't be afraid of criticism or thunder. The only way thunder can hurt you is by frightening you into fits. You will be healthier by dispensing with the fits. The smallest dewdrop on the meadow at night has a star sleeping on its bosom, and the passage of Scripture that may seem insignificant has in it a shining truth. We talk of the dark mystery of God's providence, and forget that his riches of grace are quite as great a mystery—a mystery of light and undeserved blessing.— S. W. Adriance. The man you call liberal may be spending his wife's money, or scrimping the children's wardrobe, or sponging his creditors. Liberality and generosity are cal cranks who cannot get anything else to do, and who have used up all the materials. Now, why is it ? Is it because we imagine there are no abuses in that communion ? Far from it. Men have not lost sight of the causes that induced the Reformation in the sixteenth century, but they have come to see this; that to say of the Roman Catholic religion, or to say of the Roman priesthood and episcopacy, that it is honey-combed with moral insincerity and dishonesty is simply false. It is not true. The thing that is not true will fall by its own weight.— A. T. F. Beltrends, D.D. This country is going to be conquered by a great army, compared with which that of Baldwin the First, and Xerxes, and Alexander, and Grant, and Lee, all put together, were in numbers insignificant. They will capture all our pulpits, storehouses, factories, and halls of legislation, all our shipping, all our wealth, and all our honors. They will take possession of all our authority, from the United States Presidency down to the humblest constabulary—of everything between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. They are on the march now, and they halt neither day nor night. They will soon be here, and all the present active population of this country must surrender and give way. I refer to the great army of children. Whether they shall take possession of everything for good or for bad, depends upon the style of preparation through which they pass on their way from cradle to throne.

The Friend is taken by a large number of subscribers in the United States, natives and former residents of Hawaii nei, who depend upon it for information as to the state of affairs here. We are in the midst of the excitement of the approaching election, from the asperities of which The Friend might well stand aloof. In view, however, of the wants of our foreign readers, we will endeavor to describe briefly the situation of to-day. The Reform Party, siding with the existing Government, have named their candidates for the Legislature on all the islands. An Opposition, apparently strong, has also presented its tickets. It is composed of two very diverse elements. One consists of a large body of foreigners, organized primarily as the "Mechanics' Union," who are, from various causes not very clear, discontented with the Government, but who do not appear to be Reactionary in their intentions. They do not desire to return to the old Constitution, or to restore to the King the controlling power of which the new Constitution deprived him. The other body, consisting chiefly of native Hawaiians, is led by the halfwhites Robert W. Wilcox, who headed the late insurrection for the purpose of restoring to the King his lost power, and John E. Bush, who was a chief instigator of the same. These men are vio- , , 9 ;-i Number*! property of foreigners, the men-of-war in port would land their forces for bur protection. This, however, would be a thing most undesirable, as it would impair our autonomy and endanger the independence of Hawaii, which we earnestly desire to maintain. There are some foreigners here, however, who encourage the Wilcox party for this very purpose— to promote annexation to the United States. Any forecast on the part of The Friend as to the probable issue of the balloting next Wednesday is impracticable. We are strongly hoping for a large Reform majority, but are prepared Tor partial defeat in some districts. We are glad to be able to say that the Reform administration of the past two and a half years has been so capable and so clean that no definite charges to the contrary on any material point have yet been sustained against it by the opposition. It is quite evident that a large proportion of the natives wholly distrust Wilcox and Bush, whose record is conspicuously bad. The Portuguese voters are especially apathetic, and do not register. Indeed, the slackness of voters in registering betrays apathy among all classes. The general prosperity of the community is unfavorable to ardent ment, as against the arbitrary and lawless rule of the King. This rule Wilcox and Bush are raving to restore. They are the only men in the new party who have a decided and earnest aim. This paity takes the name of "National Reform" party. It has adopted a platform which, on its surface, looks identical in principle with that of the Reform Party. Careful scrutiny, however, discloses serious concessions to Wilcox and Bush. The name " Reform" and the apparently Reform platform must be regarded as a gratifying testimony to the resistless control which Reform principles have gained here, like the "tribute of hypocrisy which vice pays to virtue." The word "National," however, belongs to the Wilcox side, and means, as at former elections, the race-cry "Hawaii for the Hawaiians," the native race to hold exclusive control of public affairs. This is what the natives understand by it, although the "Mechanics' Union" prob- political excitement. In brief, while a displacement of the ably do not.

The Yearly Reports of this Church were presented on Wednesday evening, January 15th. The whole will, as usual, THE FRIEND. of health. Mrs. Cole had been sent to the aid of Miss Palmer. There had been an average attendance of thirty-five at the meetings, the largest sixty-six. The total receipts had been $1,462. We hope to give in The Friend a fuller report of this important organization. The Fowler's Yard Mission reported an average attendance of twenty persons at the Monday evening meetings, many others standing outside. Thirty-four were present at the last meeting. Valuable personal efforts had been contributed by Rev. Mr. Griffin and Mr. Edward Clifford. Mrs. Judge McCully had been in charge of the meetings. For the day school in Fowler's Yard our devoted teacher, Miss A. F. Johnson, reported forty day scholars, with about the same number at the Sabbath school. The families in this courtyard are chiefly Norwegians and Portuguese of the laboring classes. The Missionary Gleaners reported receipts to the amount of $340. Miss Chamberlain reported her important labors and visits as City Missionary. The Colporteur to Seamen, Mr. Sherman, reported several hundred calls upon ships in port and the distribution of many tracts in Hawaiian and English to sailors, which were generally taken with eagerness. Many seamen had been led to church, and many had visited Mr. Sherman at his house. The good prospect of the erection of a Sailors' Home was spoken of as of a thing much needed. The Portuguese Sabbath School was reported with an average attendance of thirty-five, chiefly of boys. There was much hindrance from the interference of the priests. The evening school was well attended. The Japanese Sabbath School was reported by Mr. Bidwell as having about twenty-five in attendance. There were eight teachers in English, and more help was needed. The Japanese are often leaving for other islands, or returning to Japan. Mesdames Hyde and Coleman have given much aid, also Miss Castle. In the Japanese Church the word has been powerful to salvation, and most of the converts have been faithful to their vows. There are now thirtyfour church members, and thirty in the Y. M. C. A. In these islands are about 10,000 Japanese, 1,200 of whom belong to the Temperance Society and 3,000 to the Mutual Aid Association. Eighteen have just been baptized at Hilo. The Makiki Mission was reported by Mrs. Merritt, who had taken Mrs. Dillingham's place during her absence. This is chiefly Sabbath School work for the Chinese and half-Chinese, the teachers being largely from the students of Oahu College. The work has been growing. The average attendance has been seventy-one. be printed for the use of the members. We will anticipate such publication by noting items of leading interest. The membership of the Church had grown during the year from 363 to 424. Forty-seven had been received on profession, and eighteen by letter. Pen were dismissed to other churches. Four had died. The finances of the Church had been remarkaldy prosperous, under the system of pledges, from which $5,471.30 had been received, which was $270 in excess of all |h I Ti.e Sabbath morning and evening collections for benevolent purposes had amounted to $3,005.35, to which was lidded $1,029.20 from special contributions, making a total of $4,034.55. The largest item of benevolent expenditure was the sum of $1,200 to the Hawaiian Board. The Chinese and Japanese missions were largely subsidized. The Fowler's Yard Mission forms a large item. Various mission Sabbath schools receive aid. The poor of the church are helped. A city missionary is employed, also a colporteur among seamen. It is well known that large private donations which do not appear in these reports are made by members of this church to the above and other objects. The Sabbath School had been prosperous, with an average attendance of 255, exclusive of the primary department. The treasurer reported $1,007.52 received from collections and various sources, of which $739.95 had been given to various mission schools and to education of youth, inclusive of $24.25 to the lepers. The Building Fund was stated to amount to about $76,000, including all subscriptions, and assets available towards the proposed new edifice, besides the lot for the building. The modified plans have been adopted for a stone edifice, and it is expected that by another year it will be far advanced towards completion. The Sabbath School Librarian reported 525 volumes in the library, of which 114 were new books. We should have been glad to hear some statement of the manner in which books were selected, also some classification of the library, as Biography, History, Fiction, etc. The Ladies' Society reported various meetings and public social gatherings, including three noon lunches. They had raised $472.40 for the new edifice. The Women's Board of Missions reported three special and twelve regular meetings during the year. Their Missionaries, Miss Green and Miss Palmer, The Society of Christian Endeavor were in active service. Miss Fletcher reported an average attendance of sevhad finally left Ponape through failure enty-five, a majority taking part, and the [February, 1890. hour too brief. We believe this Society is a chief training school for the church. The Pastor's Report summed up many things already given above, also twelve marriages, twenty-five infant baptisms, and twenty-two funerals. .We have thus given hasty notes and imperfect hints of the great work and manifold interests reported upon in this annual recounting of the years' experiences. The whole of the reports are to be printed, five hundred copies. We are sure that Mr. W. W. Hall will gladly* supply copies to friends desiring them on other islands. [Communicated.] Sunday Amusements. The recent opening of the Oahu Railroad for Sunday travel has given great pain to many of our sober-minded Christian people. That it should be advocated and undertaken by professedly Christian men is another painful fact that does not grow any easier to acknowledge and endure, the longer one reflects upon its probable significance or sees the actual working of this disregard of the sanctity of the Sabbath. The only plea is the necessity of recreation. But recreation is something of higher meaning and wider scope than amusements. There is a needful and proper unbending of the strain of mind and body. For fullest developement of human energies, we need periods of rest for refreshment and recuperation. But self-indulgence is not the recreation that man needs. The relaxing of the claims of religion and of righteousness is an element of peril and disaster, not of joy and hope, whether to the individual or to society. It is a great mistake to decry the Puritan Sabbath of New England society, as it was in the days before manufactures and commerce broke up its simplicity of life and manners, as a day of gloom and cant. The real fact is that in the devotion of the Sabbath to special religious privileges there is higher enjoyment than any mere amusement of self-indulgence can comprehend or measure. TShose are to be pitied who think that in doing their own pleasure on the Lord's Day there is any real gain to mind or body. California society does not furnish a desirable model for those who would build their homes and mould society in these happy isles. To introduce Sabbath-breaking habits is to throw away a providential opportunity for securing a high-toned and blissful state of quiet security for a reckless, lawless, turbulent mobocracy. See the liquor carried and distributed freely on the Sunday trains; listen to the vile language and quarrelsome talk: and say, if you can, that Sunday travel is a boon and a benefit. �Volume 48, No. 2.] Sabbath Observance Taught by Hindoos, Mohammedans and Parsees. Gains and Losses. There are only three surviving tf the sent by the American Board to tin se islands. The older generati n t.f Hawaii, n pasti rs is also fast passing away. Three, Rev. G. B. Ka onnhimaka, R-v. S. Kamaike, Rev. J. Han;.l a, have died within the last three months. The Hawaiian people are diminishing in numbers. Within the last fifteen years the decrease of the native population has been about 10,000. But 37,000 have been brought in, 17,000 Chinese, 8,000 Japanese, 12 000 1' rtnguese. This period of fifteen years, the time in which this Kingdom has had the benefits of the Reciprocity Treaty with the United States, has been a period of gn at material prosperity. While the total population has increased only a little m ire than o:.ehalf, the imports have almost trebled, rising from $1,881,770 in 1876 to $4,540,887 n 18S8. The exports have increased in a much larger ratio, being now nearly six times the value, $2,241,041 in 1876 and $11,903,398 in 1888 This is largely the increase in sugar, which, even ;<t the low prices that prevailed in 1888, was nearly nine times the quantity of the crop of 1876, or, as the figures are given in the Custom House Statistics, being 26,072,429 pounds in 1876, and 235,888,346 pounds in 1888. Further analysis of thtse st tistics shows that while the population has increased only five eighths, twenty times the amount • f grain and feed fir animals was imported in 1888 as compared with 1876, and 57,animals -526 was the annual valuation ofwith $261 imported in 1888 as compared in 1876. Three times the value of fl mr is imported now that was reported then, and six times as much of fresh fruit. Twice as much lumber, five times .s much leather, five times as much m.ich'nery, and twee as much stationery and books are called f r now. And a disagreeable item to recognize is three times the value of ale and beer, two and a third tines the value of spirits, six times the value of wines, showing how much faster alcoholism increases than does population or property. The number cf gallons of spirits consumed increased from 49,707 gallons in 1876 to 100,703 in 1886. Well for the community that the revolution in 1887 reduced this amount one-fourth, but it is running liup again. A meeting recently held in Bombay • rdained missionaries to protest against the despatch of the European mails from that port on Sunday, was remarkable not so much for the purpose which convoked it, as for the diversity of religious beliefs entertained by those who united in a common object. It was a large and enthusiastic meeting, whose object was to protest against the loss of one day in seven as a day of rest, a protest in which not only Christian Englishmen tookpart, but were joined by Hindoos, Mohammedans and Parsees. We can imagine what Englishmen would say upon such a subject, but it is not easy to anticipate the positions of the representatives of the three classes last mentioned, who spoke for the people of Bombay. They were certainly more conservative than many public and business men in this country. The Mussulman, Mr. Sayani, after seconding the emphatic protest presented by the Bishop of Bombay, urged that the abrogation of Sunday as a day of rest, would be an egregious blunder. He drew a vivid picture of Christian officials and of other representative persons, rushing to a steamer on Sunday, while church bells were ringing, to bid farewell to a British prince, or the Christian Envoy of a Christian people ! The young people of India, he continued, would conclude from the example of their Christian rulers, that religion is a matter to be disregarded when convenience or financial interests require. He thought Mohammedans had been unfairly treated. They had relinquished their own holy day (Friday) and adopted the Sabbath of their rulers, and now an attempt was made to deprive them of that. Mr. Mehta, a representative of the 70,000 Parsees, or Fire-Worshipers, in Bombay, declared that his people felt the common grievance that had brought together so large an assembly, and that people of all classes and creeds would be affected by the loss of an institution which, after becoming a part of the common life of the city, had greatly contributed to its moral and financial welfare. He earnestly supported the protest. The representative of the Hindoo population earnestly seconded the resolutions, and announced his hearty concurrence in the necessity of preserving the present Sabbath. In view of this extraordinary demonstration, would it not be well for the Sabbath Observance Committee to engage a few Bombay Mohammedans, Parsees, and Hindoos to lecture in this country on the necessity of preserving one day in seven —and that the Christian Sabbath—as a dayofrest? —N. Y. Evangelist. 11 THE FRIEND. Why Did They Succeed? We often hear in familiar conversation the story of one and another who have been engaged in the sugar industry, some only to end in failure, some to achieve notable success. The thought has arisen, why this difference of result? A, 13, C, with the same apparent ability, with the same educational advantages, with similar family training, enter upon the business. A pushes and drives, but makes no headway. B pegs away, early and late, making steady advancement year by year till he comes out at the top of the list. C has evea better opportunities for a but gradually flattens out and sinks down out of sight. We have thought how great a boon it might be to others just entering on their life-work if those who are familiar with such histories of achievement and of failurewould give to the world the particulars in regard to each instance. The facts could be easily gathered up in our small community. The period of time covered by the developenient of this industry in this country is very brief. How full ofinterest these personal narratives would be! Yet, would the conditions of success be any better known? Is there not a subtle personal element that cannot be classified or tabulated ? We may calculate with mathematical precision the cohesive force of timber, the resistance of masonry. But as the elements that enter into our calculations grow more subtle they elude our investigation, however scientific our processes may be. Who can tell why a watch-spring breaks at a certain moment, or why a violin string will snap? So there seems to be in the human will a certain element of tension that cannot be calculated tnat sometimes will stand a strain, 01 me H. time will break and fail.

Brother Fuller thinks it does. (See Y. M. C. A. page.) We think not so, necessarily, by any means. On the contrary, we think that a severe contest in a great popular election is very apt to be most wholesome, morally. We think the present election strife is becoming so. People speak out. Men get their moral sense set at work. They discern between the evil and the good. Hypocrisies are unmasked: shams are blown away: villainies are unveiled. The foul, stagnant, pestiferous atmosphere of every day political life is whirled away in the storm. At such a time men's minds are roused to keen activity. The great vital issues which underlie all politics are uncovered, and men feel their reality and supreme importance. They are set to thinking. It educates them mentally and morally to take part in a stirring conflict upon the old battle grounds of Liberty and Right eousness. There is a great satisfaction in seeing men rally for good government; we like to see them get warm about it. Give us a good rousing election once in a while, and not your lazy, everyday indifference. Mr. P. C. Jones and Mrs. Jones started for Boston per Australia, January 17th, to be absent until June. Mr. Jones will worthily represent us to the Eastern Churches. His health, somewhat impaired, we trust will be well recuperated. Be- Prof. L. L. Van Slyke remits two years' subscription for The Friend. He writes from Baltimore: "We were made glad by the arrival of the numbers of The Friend. 1 took the Gazette one year, but found I had to read too much in which I was not interested in order to get the little that was of special interest; and here we feel that six dollars for a weekly paper is too much. The Friend contains exactly what we most want to know, and I am almost vexed at myself that I did not subscribe for it before I left Honolulu." Judge David J. Brewer of Kansas has been appointed Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court. It will interest some here to know that he is a brother of Prof. Fisk P. Brewer of Grinnell University, whose wife is Julia Richards of Honolulu, and whose daughter, Miss Grace Brewer, is now a teacher in Kawaiahao Female Seminary. Both these gentlemen were born in Turkey, sons of the eminent missionary Brewer, their four distinmother being sister guished brothers David, Stephen, Cyrus, and Henry Field, who, by the way, all seem to have Bible names, except the clergyman. Dom Pedro on the Brazilian Republic. The First Hawaiian Leper. Sir Morell Mackenzie, in the Nineteenth Century, quotes Dr. W. Hillebrand as having seen the first case in 1853 "in a thinly-populated district of Oahu, about twenty miles from Honolulu, in a small village near the sea." The truth is that the malady came here long before Dr. Hillebrand did. Rev. Dwight Baldwin, M. D., of Lahaina, knew more of its origin and early history in Hawaii than any other person. Many years ago we obtained from him the following facts, which we give from recollection. The first appearance of the disease was about 1840 upon a chief in the suite of the Premier Kekauonohi; he had contracted it abroad. He removed to Lahaina, living there with his aikanc, a wellknown chief, to whom he imparted the disease through the peculiar intimacies of that relationship. Dr. Baldwin treated the latter case about 1845 while ignorant of its nature. FYom this chiel leprosy gradually spread in Lahaina and in Honuaula, where he resorted. We first observed it in Lahaina about 1856,from which time the cases rapidly multiplied. It is quite certain that leprosy was not introduced here by Chinese immigrants, but by a Hawaiian from some foreign port. The above was substantially Dr. Baldwin's statement. The connection of the Lahaina chief with certain high personages kept these facts in the background. The natives still call leprosy "mai alii," or royal malady. - "I much fear that there are exaggerated political ambitions dominant in Brazil which will surely bring misfortunes on the country.

Please take especial note of the perfect success of the Pledge System in amply meeting the expenses of the Central Union Church of Honolulu. Cards are sent out to the members of the congregation at New Year's, and returned to the Treasurer, with each one's subscription. The result is, all the money wanted, and no selling of pews. The Wilcox people rail about the "Missionaries" having captured the government. Hon. A. Young thinks they mean by a missionary a man who pays his quarterly account. Very much so! There is unquestionably much ground for the ex-emperor's forebodings. We will hope for a better result. But Liberty thus far has found no stable foothold in Papal countries. We feel personally a deep interest in Brazil, beginning with a visit of seventeen days at Rio dc Janeiro in 1852, where Protestantism was just beginning to gain a foothold. We also spent a half hour in the society of the Emperor in 1876 in Philadelphia. He left the impression of a very conscientious and learned gentleman, rather than of a great man. He bore a strong likeness to the Hapsburgs, and to Charles Y.

The dormitories are not yet quite ready for occupancy. Money is needed for furnishing the rooms and for grading the grounds. The expenses so far have been as follows: Contractor, $8,365; Plans, contract, and fees, $130; Filling in and preparing foundation, $125; Superintending, $100; Moving old buildings, $80; Stones and grading, $250, making a total of $9,050. There is a balance of about $200, but the estimated cost of all the improvements, $10,000, has not yet been secured. It is hoped that the $MOO still needed will be secured and the whole undertaking reported complete at the coming annual meeting in June.

A mass meeting of the citizens of Glasgow was called for December 19th at the City Hall to hear appeals for contributions to relieve the necessities of the lepers on Molokai, in which Father Pamphile, the brother of Father Damien, would take part. It was announced that the Provost of the city would preside, assisted by his Grace the Archbishop. Upon this theHawaiian Consul, James Dunn, Esq., addressed to the Lord Provost a letter, which was published in the city papers, in which he set forth that the lepers on Molokai were not in need of contributions from abroad for their material comfort, "as under the present excellent administration of affairs in Hawaii, all necessitous cases are amply provided for, the establishment at Molokai and its proper and complete equipment forming, and having indeed long formed the subject of a special item of "Of course, if the movesupply." ment is intended to cover the promotion of some special form of religious work, that is a matter with which I have no "I feel certain that, concern." looking to the past prosperity of the country, any such offer of aid would be incompatible with the fitness of things." He adds that, without disparaging Father Damien's worth, it is proper to say that his services have been much * * • * exaggerated. The canny Scots seem to have understood the situation. Only "about two dozen" persons attended the meeting. The Lord Provost was detained at home by a cold. We feel bound to add that, notwithstanding the liberal and efficient government support of the lepers, there is a call for much private help towards their spiritual needs and temporal comforts alike. Our people have been active in giving such help. We do not need to appeal to those abroad to contribute. Any presentation of actual needs of the lepers is certain to meet with a generous response from our own citizens. Great Britain, especially, has abundant call for aid to lepers in her Indian Empire. How Dishonor Gets Abroad. (From a Discourse Jan. 12, by Rev. E. 0, Heckwith, D.D.) It is astonishing how quickly the ill odor of unfair dealing gets abroad, conceal it as men will—and they always try to conceal it. Nobody is willing to be thought dishonest. Bribes are given and taken in secret. Frauds are plotted with Mephistophelian caution. Cheating is done covertly. The salesmen do not mix their teas on the counter in plain sight of you. Dairymen do not bring the milk in one can and the water in another, and consult your preference about the proportions. It is all done secretly, and meant to be kept concealed. But fraud is a very difficult thing to conceal; as hard to disguise as the odor of THE FRIEND. a man's midnight wassail. And you know how almost impossible it is to conceal that. You know how young men sometimes go from their reveling into the drawing room, thinking they have disguised their breath with spices and sweet perfumes, forgetting, it would seem, how the odor of those vile things exhales from every pore of ihe body. So with the ill odor of fraud. It does not need to come from the man's own lips. He may guard his speech as he will, or sweeten it with whatever honeyed words he will, but the bad repute exhales from all his life. It comes out, and he does not know how. Men shun him, and he cannot tell why. They leave his goods unbought, and he cannot imagine why. Or they deal with him, when they must, with extreme caution, and insist on extraordinary securities, and he wonders why. Or they quietly leave him out of the intimacies of friendship, and he wonders why. But everybody else knows why. He has forfeited men's respect. He has lost men's confidence. He has tried to "get riches and not by right" and the people know it, in spite of his shrewdest concealment. And the penalty is the people's contempt. It is the loss of men's confidence and "good will.' And with such a loss over against it, there is no profit in all his gain. 13 finally ortlained and settled at Laupahoe- hoe for abut ten years. From Laupahoehoe he was railed to Kaar.apali where he staid two years, and from Kaanapali he accompanied his leper wife, who we think was his stcond, to the leper settlement at Kal.iwao, and became pastor of the lepers in 1877. Hanaloa was once asked to go with Rev. S. Kamakahiki as a missionary to the Gilbert Islands, but he staid while Kamakahiki went. Hanaloa, though not a brilliant man, was in his way bright and inieresting. He was a thoroughly good man, and was possessed of a most equab!e and sweet temper, which fjet was a great gain to him in his relations with the brusque father Damien. Hanaloa was retired from the pastorate Od. 28, 1889, and succeeded by Rev. S. Waiwaiole. He died Jan. 21st, 1890. He was not a leper. His death was finally caused by a throat trouble. The theory that there can be no church without bishops was never maintained by Episc ipalisns in Kngland until the days when a school of theologians, who were at the same ti ie supporters of the tyrranny of the Stuarts, brought it forward and used it in the controversy wrth Puritanism. * * That no specific form of church government can boast of being an Apostolic ordinance for all time is a verdict which historical scholars are r.qiidly approaching unanimity in tendering.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Mission-., and the Editor, appointed by the Board is responsible for its contents. Rev. 0. P. Emerson, - Editor. The Supply Problem. There are at present twelve parishes in the group in pressing need of pastors. Six of them arc on the island of Hawaii (four in the Konas); three are on Maui, two on Oahu and one on Kauai. For the supplying of these fields we have but seven pos sible candidates; one is hut a licentiate, and he is in polities; another holds a government office; two more have been on the invalid list; one is hardly an available candidate; another k an old man. Thus but one is left who has already been asked to enter a vacant parish, but has declined doing so. It is barely possible that three men could be secured for as many pastorless fields leaving at least nine unprovided for. It is but fair to say that these pastorless fields are under the super vision of neighboring pastors, who occasionally visit them, and that two of them are now being visited on the Sabbath by theological students. Thus at least seven parishes must be left to suffer for the need of regular pas toral care. Now what is the prospect of a future supply. There are twelve'students at present in the Seminary, none of whom ought to graduate this year, and most all of whom ought to remain from two to four years more. Thus the outlook is serious for the immediate supply of these pastorless churches. It appears yet more serious when we consider the quality of the men in course of preparation. Only a portion of them speak English, or have had any academic training. In these respects they are mostly quite behind the average candidates ot to day for the bar. In measuring candidates for the minis try we would heed the warning which was given the prophet, who, when choosing from the sons of Jesse a leader for Israel was bidden "Look not on his countenance, or on the hight of his stature." And yet we think we have the spirit of the Lord when we say that the men of the future should mostly have a ready acquaintance with English; they should be academically trained, and should be so bred as to be capable guides as to the right conduct of life. In short the young men of the theological course should level up to our representative schools. There are excellent schools in the land that are giving a better form to Hawaiian life. Our public school system is markedly helping on toward this end. The native pastor of the future must be a more trained man than he has been in the past, and we think we see a prospect of his being such. We are hopeful : 15 THE FRIEND. that the new conditions under which we are now working will invite him. What are these new conditions ? First we have a new set of buildings on our Seminary grounds whose appointments and hygienic advantages are far in advance of those they have superseded. At last the seminary has a large and airy social hall where friends can be comfortably entertained. We give our congratulations to the principal of the North Pacific Insti tute for the present completeness of the seminary buildings. We trust that they may be only supplied with all necessary furniture and with a picked class of students Again, the prospect of at least a sure support, frugal as it is, which is now given the pastors of the churches relieves the gloomy outlook which only lately, and lor long years in the past, has been faced by the native ministry. There is also that prospect, very attractive to the intelligent native, of a post graduate course of study abroad which is being matured. With these advantages lately come to us we can contemplate the promise of the coming days with a measure of hopefulness. Those Reports. At the last meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, the committee to whom was referred the topic. "The Corrupt Practices which vitiate our Christian life and their Cure," reported seven grave evils: i. intoxicating drinks; 2. opium; 3. awa; 4. gambling; 5. violation of the family relation; 6. the employment of native kahunas; 7. idolatry. The whole matter was referred to a second commit- Hawaiian ministry and we hope the giving of them is to mark an era of spiritual reform in ihe churches. Again, these reports show the extreme difficulty of the work which our native brethren are called on to do in their parishes. The enemies to be contended with are legion. Corruption has ei.ttred the churches and is deeply centered among them. There is among them a great lack of spirituality. There are churches where the forces of corruption are rampant, and where there is little vital piety. The action of this sinfulness is often seen in the lives of deacons and of elders. The most prevalent evil force the native pastor has to contend with to-day is the awa habit. It is yielded to by old and young. It is in the church and out of it. It is but one of the several forms of intemperance which is bringing death to the nation. It is said that in some parts of China every fourth man is a slave to the opium habit. Doubtless there are regions on the islands of which the same might be said of the natives as regards the awa habit. It is the traditional form of their intemperance which has been revived in late years to the exceeding detriment of the race. There was a time once when the farthers-temporal and spiritual, chiefs and missionaries working together had greatly restricted the iranc in this p.rincions herb, and made the use of it at least among the church people, discreditable. Now the times have changed. Awa is drunk openly and its traffic is licensed. It is no longer, as once was the case, bought and sold under severe restrictions and as a drug. It is easily procurable in most every district, and to those who deal in it it has come to be a profitable business. The use of it is countenanced in high places, and the poor natives have returned to it as if forgetful of the better purposes of the past. As one poor, blear-eyed, skinney old woman put it the other day to one of tfie theological students who had visited her, "we are but creatures of time, earthen any way, and we might as well wallow the while in the mud." We do not believe that our cultivated and thoughtful natives are tempted to any great extent But as to the rest there to use the drug. is in the reports a fearful showing. Along with the awa and next to it, or equal with it in ruinous effect, come the other intoxicants. Among the Chinese opium is used quite extensively, and here and there natives are falling victims to it. Rut a far greater number of them are addict d to the use of some form of alcohol. When awa is not convenient to be taken, alcohol is. In country districts plantation hands are very commonly addicted to this vice. And with all these forms of intemperance there necessarily comes gambling and poverty, the defilement of the homelife and the destruction of the family rela- "for further investigation and study" in view of a future report. That committee prepared a circular soliciting information on jhe seven above mentioned points. Information has come from the pastors and from leading men in the different parishes. The reports sent in arc in many cases quite voluminous. Although the time has not yet come for the committee to make a statement, its chairman has kindly consented that some things now be said with regard to their reports. In speaking of them we would note first the fidelity of those who have made them. The native pastors have spoken out with much thoughtfulness and candor. The right opportunity being afforded, they have given in their testimony, and generally done it thoroughly and bravely. There is in their papers little or no evidence of concealment. What has been recorded came evidently in many cases with soreness of heart These papers show that the native pastors and many leading laymen with them are mainly loyal to the truth. Their sympathies, however, wrought upon by traditional and family ties, are with the forces which make for tion. righteousness. They are working in their And once again, those who thus give way, and some very bravely, against these the reins to the appetites are apt to become evils.

The period of holiday festivities is one of peculiar strain upon virtue and selfcontrol and in many communities, but especially so in this country where so many nationalities with a low standard of morals, and dissipated habits are brought closely together in all the relations of life. Any unusual excitement, like the political strife over the coining election, carries wide spread demoralization. In fact, any thing that causes a relaxation of active moral forces or takes men away from their reach, must work great harm to this peculiar people among whom we labor. One of our worst enemies and the most potent for evil is strong drink, and until its use in this fair land can be better controlled we have little to hope for, in the permanent uplift of this people. The ignorant, the depraved, and the heathen portions of this community must be raised to a higher level or they will sink still lower and drag many from the higher classes with them. It is a matter that deeply concerns all, and in which all respectable citizens, especially the professed followers of the Saviour of men should show a lively inteiest, and unite with a firm heaven born purpose to drive the monster-curse from our shores.

"The fact is, in my judgment, you canuntil you have been filled with the very spirit of eternity; you cannot love your neighbor as yoursi If until you love God with all your heart. All your fire must come from the sun." "I feel that to be true, Mr. Bell." "It is true, my boy, and yet the 'Elsmere' party cannot or will not see it. They do not know that whenever they attempted to do good they were actually indebted for their impulses to the Christ whom they ignored. If I may say so, they had only a church Christ; that is, an ecclesiastical figure; a sort of ideal in porcelain; —the true Christ, the child of eternity, the ineffable sufferer, the Soul that carried the cross that the world might be saved, they not work for time never loved." "No," said Curfew, "and even their earnestness is tepid." "Not even tepid," Mr. Bell quickly add ed; in fact, it was hardly earnestness at all. Largely it was self consciousness, a sort of intellectual vanity, a very sensitive selfappreciation. The principal religious char acters in 'Elsmere' balance themselves on tiptoe, weigh things in Oxford scales, and are wonderfully enamored of all things German and unintelligible." "I did not notice the German," said Curfew. "Not German words," said Mr. Bell, "but German thoughts, German skepticisms, German indigestions." The German has a curious way of making the simplest things look grand and deep and mystical. His walking-stick is the stem of creation. His pipe is the center of the solar system. His consciousness is the birth-sphere of God Fven sincerity itself may get lost in the mazes of the German language. The irritating part of the whole business, if one cared to get irritated about it, is that when England is taking up some new German the. ry, Germany itself has thrown it away as a mistake, and set up another theory as an idol. England seems to like the cast-off clothes of intellectual Germany. All the 'Elsmere' squad are dressed in German rags."— Curfewfessell.

At the ten polling places in this city, there was the utmost order and good behavior. The new election law worked well; all the saloons were closed; the most of those who had registered, voted. We think it a serious mistake that the secret ballot was not adopted as originAlthough the ballots ally proposed. were all printed by the government, and those of both parties were externally alike, there was no difficulty in the agents of the candidates so ninnaging as to know how their men voted. We are certain that there was a strong Wilcox terrorism among the natives in Honolulu, which could not have acted had the ballot been a secret one. The other party allege undue influence on the Reform side. What we want is the "Australian" ballot. The whole National Reform ticket for Nobles on Oahu was elected by an average majority of six to five. Fight out of nine Representatives were elected on the same side by majorities of about five to three. So sweeping a victory of the Opposition on this island made them feel entirely triumphant, and the Reform party disheartened. The returns from the other islands, however, changed the result, leaving the National Reform party in a minority of 22 to 26 of the whole house. Two or more, however, of the 26 are "Independent", and are very likely to vote against the present Administration. It is thought probable that the Reform party will secure the organization of the House, but that it is not unlikely that the Cabinet may be changed. Apparently there will be nearly an even balance between the two parties. It must be understood that the National Reform party is a combination of two very diverse elements. The Uush-Wilcox or "National" wing, we need not here characterize. They are a minority of their own party, the majority of whom are not likely to do anything seriously endangering the important political results secured by the Reform of 1887. They may secure some changes of administration, but will not disturb the present wholesome political system. At least, we do not anticipate from them such a course of action. As we have heretofore intimated, we have, under the Divine protection, the greatest confidence in the power of the large body of sound, wholesome and influential public sentiment pervading this civilized and Christian community, and we do not believe that any existing elements of an opposite tendency will so prevail as to seriously hinder our onward progress in all that is good socially and politically. There is one vital policy of the government, however, which is liable to be seriously endangered by the substitution of a less positive set of men for the present Cabinet. That is the faithful continued segregation of Lepers. Unless this is continued with undiminished vigor, the deadly evil will linger on and perhaps increase. The pressure for a relaxation of present strictness is very severe from the native people. Only a Cabinet who are very positive and determined upon this matter will resist such a pressure. On this question the National Reform platform was significantly silent. Should any of their men rule, we may look for Lepers at large once more. Nu.MHKR 3. 17 Clifford's Likeness (?) of Damien. The frontispiece of the Life of Father Damien, by Mr. Edward Clifford ofLondon, is what purports to be a likeness of Damien as in his earlier years before going to Molokai. It is a rather beautiful and spiritual face, such as a painter might choose for an ideal. It is such a face as well corresponds to the saintly and powerful character attributed by the author to his subject. We have many times heard persona who were acquainted with Damien express their wonder at such a picture of him, as not suggesting any resemblance to the man they knew. We are now in possession of what we consider indubitable authority that the portrait in Mr. Clifford's book does not bear even the remotest likeness to him as he was at any lime during the twenty or more years of his residence here. It is not for us to attempt to explain the fact. It is the art of an eminent limner to worthily idealize the features of Kis subject. It would seem essential, however that some likeness should be recognizable. We regret to add that those persons who were most closely in contact with Father Damien on Molokai seem to find it as difficult to recognize Mr. Clifford's description of his character as they do the portrait of his features. We do not think that any one here who is acquainted with the subject will controvert the above statement. As we are well informed, Father Damien's brothers in the priesthood will not do so. It is due to the excellent Bishop of Olba and his clergy to say that so far as we know, they have never had any part in the extravagant laudations of Father Damien, of the great infirmities of whose character none were more painfully Notwithsensible than themselves. standing those very great faults, we are glad to say that we believe Damien to have been truly earnest and benevolent —that he sought by devoted labors to expiate some failures, and that as we trust, he was a sincere Christian, although no "saint." A Coincidence—The fact was brought to our notice the other day that all the sur- vivors of the passengers on board of the bark Flora from Honolulu to New York in 1840-41, are now in Honolulu. They are Mrs. Persis (1. Taylor, Miss E. K. Bingham, Rev. Hiram Bingham, Mrs. �Revision of the Presbyterian Creed. We take up this subject because it has come to deeply agitate one of the oldest, fnost evangelical, and most powerful religious bodies in the United States, and one in which many of us here had our early religious training. We do so, by reason of a profound and fraternal sympathy with this great and precious body of Christian men, in their efforts to follow the Divine guidance amid many great difficulties, in adjusting their position to the demands of the increasing .Biblical light of this age. We would not be among those'who are harshly impatient with a loyal and cautious conservatism, even though such feel that the way is clear for the change, if those brethren could only discern it. The Presbyterian'Church in the United States, like that in Scotland, from which it was originally a colony, adheres as its standard of doctrine, to the Confession of Faith drawn up by the Westminster Assembly of Divines, 250 years ago, and generally known as the Westminster Confession. Some clauses in this creed have been altered at different times, but it remains the same, in all its important features. This Confession is not the same as, though identical in doctrine with, the Longer and the Shorter Catechisms, the latter of which is familiar to most Presbyterian youth. To the Confession, Ministers and Elders only are required to subscribe. The laity do not subscribe to a creed, but enter into a strong and simple Covenant. For the clergy also, it has long been the practice to make a modified subscription to the creed, only as "containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures," not excluding the presumption that it contains errors not taught in the Scriptures. The Westminster Confession is a most able and powerful compend of religious doctrine. It was the work of a great body of mighty and devout theologians. We have no doubt that they enjoyed a large measure of Divine guidance, but not so as to exclude human elements of error, even most serious ones. The Protestant churches had been only one century escaped from the darkness of Roman error into the light of the New Testament. They were still in the midst of intense and bitter conflicts among themselves, notably between Calvinism and Arminianism. The features of the Confession bear the marks of the conflicts then waged upon theological issues which have long fallen into desuetude, while other issues then uncared for, have now come to the front. Both Dogmatic Theology and Biblical Science have made great strides of progress in two and a half centuries. The Marh, 1890 THE FRIEND. 18 Divine Spirit has not failed during those centuries to fulfill the Saviour's promise of guiding his people into the truth. More light has broken forth from God's Holy Scriptures, as John Robinson predicted to the Pilgrims at Delft. It follows of necessity that, however complete and satisfactory a standard the noble Westminster Confession once was to the Presbyterian Church, it must now seem in many important particulars, far less satisfactory and even objectionable. The General Assembly in reply to a large body of overtures, has asked the Presbyteries to each of them report to the Assembly whether any Revision of the Confession is necessary? and if so, The Presbyteries what it should be? are actively discussing these questions, in the most animated manner. The Confession is being most ruthlessly dissected. Its conservative friends are grieved and appalled, and seem to feel that all the foundations are being torn up. Still, as the result of all the agitation, very moderate counsels have prevailed, even in the most advanced bodies, and only a few changes are recommended, of some statements which hardly any intelligent Christian would now be willing to adopt as expressing his belief. For ourselves, although of Presbyterian training and ordination, we have long ago ceased to inquire whether we were in accord with Presbyterian standards. The words of Christ and his apostles seem incomparably above and beyond those of human creeds, ancient or modern. We deeply sympathise, as we said above, with our brethren in their struggle to find the right course. May they faithfully seek and so find, the Lord's guidance therein. We claim no wisdom, yet cannot refrain from expressing our own conviction that it will be utterly impracticable to revise and reform the Westminster Confession so a;; to make it satisfactory to the churches without quite destroying its integrity. Do not repair with new cloth the old garment. Do not put the new wine into the old bottles. Do not remodel the ancient temple for modern worship. Let the grand old structure stand undisturbed, the honored memorial of the old days of the glorious fathers of I'resbyterianism. Build a commodious chapel for present use. In other words, construct a new, short, and manageable creed, which can be used, preached and taught. This is what we believe will be done, and when it is done, the Presbyterian Church march forward free and unhampered to fresh conquests for Christ. Give me the money that the working classes have spent for rum during the last thirty years, and I will build foi every working man a house, and lay out for him a garden, and clothe his sons in broad cloth and his daughters in silks. and secure him a policy of life insurance to maintain his home after he is dead. Should Deity be Addressed as Almighty ? This question will doubtless seem to many Christian people a very singular We know many most devout and earnest Christians, who habitually address themselves in prayer to "Almighty God", nor do we by any means maintain that it is wrong or even always unsuitable to do so. What we would urge is that the common use of this term is not quite in harmony with ChristiaVi belief and practice, as taught us by Christ and His apostles. It does not seem to be the aspect of His being Which our gracious Father in heaven desires to be the one most familiar to our thoughts as we draw near to Him. Have you noted the remarkable fact that the word Almighty is not found once in the Gospels ? It is found only once elsewhere in the New Testament, until we come to the Book of Revelation, where it occurs six times. Is it not a most significant fact that our Lord seems never to have made use of the expression ? Does it not mean much that the apostles employed it only once in their Fpistles to the churches ? Are not our Lord Jesus and His apostles the examples whom we ought to follow in speaking of and addressing God, who is very nigh to His children ? Turn to the Old Testament, and in what period do we find the name Almighty God to have been in common use ? The answer is, in the Patriarchal period. It occurs live times in the history of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. At an earlier appearance to Moses, God told him that He had "appeared to Abraham, Isaacand Jacob, as God Almighty," but that by His name Jehovah, He was not known to them. The next use of the name is by the prophet Balaam, with whom among the heathen seems to hive lingered a knowledge of the God of the Patriarchs. Next in Ruth, Naomi twice employs the name; she had just come from among the idolatrous Moabites, wlio however, inherited from Lot, some remains of the Patriarchal Monotheism. Among them it was important too. to habitually assert the Omnipotence of the Sovereign God, against the weak and false gods of Moab. The word Almighty is no more found until we come to Job. He uses the word thirty times. We regard this as one of the best of the many evidences that the book of Job was the product of the old Patriarchal period anterior to Moses. He knows nothing of God's later and more glorious revelations. He is a godly and holy Ameer of the Arabian desert, but not a guide for the disciples of Christ in our best thoughts of God. Those whose commonest thought of God is as "Almighty", seem to have advanced less beyond the theology of Job, than the) would if they read and pondered the New Testament more. David twice names God as "the Almighty", and then when there is a pecuone. �Volume 48, No. B.] liar fitness and comfort in the use of that name, in view of overwhelming dangers and foes. Isaiah employs the name once, Fzekiel twice and Joel once; and that is all. It is not with His Power that God labors most to impress the minds of men. They are willing enough to contemplate him in that aspect. They are far less willing to consider his perfect holiness. But they need to know it. The Lord has especially sought to reveal to Jesus us the Fatherhood of God, seeking and saving his perverse and perishing children. The love, the mercy, the Holiness of (iod, are the predominant elements of the Divine character as revealed by Jesus Christ. It is to these chiefly that we need to turn our thoughts in all our worship and our supplications. It would seem then that we may regard the form of address "Almighty God" as belonging rather to the Patriarchal than even to the Jewish ritual, far more than to the Christian worship. It is by no means a small matter that we order our words aright in addressing our God. And yet it is sometimes well for us to recur to the most ancient and primitive attitudes of worship to go back to the childhood of religion, and from that again to work up to its higher and holier experiences. But do not let this be our common practice. There are, however, times both in public and private experiences when godly souls are fain to find refuge in and to "abide under the shadow of the Almighty." When Israel is faint and discouraged among the warring and destroying heathen, it is good to remember the "Everlasting God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth," who "fainteth not, neither is weary.'' Those grand cßapters of Isaiah which comfort Israel by telling him of the mighty power of Jehovah, are often just what God'speople need for their strengthening. See Isaiah, Chapters -10 to 14. As noted above, the Revelation'differs from the rest of the New Testament in its repeated use of the name "Almighty." And there it conies with a grand fitness. For the whole book surges with the tempest of t,he persecutions which the holy Church of Christ is to endure. In it rise menacing, terrific forms of Beast and Dragon and Anti-Christ closing in upon the Church in Armageddon conflict. But He who rules is the Lord God Almighty! At the breath of His mouth, all enemies wither. But the atmosphere of the Book of Revelation is not that of four common Christian life. It is not that of our family worship, or of our usual Church assembles. There let us speak to God as our Father, blessed and holy, hallowing His reverend Name, in thought of His Love, His Grace, His Holiness, rather than of His might. ■ It is in the light of His Goodness that we need to abide, and not in that of His Greatness. THE FRIEND. Samoa. (Fro/H the Australian Independent.) In connection with the paragraph which appeared in your issue of November 15th, I am glad to report that the Consuls of the three Great Powers have issued a proclamation to the Samoan people which has had the effect of setting them right as to the wishes of the Great Powers. The proclamation states that the decision of the Berlin. Conference on Samoa is to be enforced, viz.> that Malietoa Laupepa be restored to title and office as king of Samoa. Malietoa's flag is now flying in Apia, and the Consuls have formally and officially recognized the restored king. The Joint Williams has returned from the voyage to the Union, Fllice and Gilbert Islands. Rev. A. E. Clax.ton brings back a good report of the work in these outstations of the Samoan Mission. As he has now taken two consecutive voyages as deputation to the outstations, he is able to speak with all the greater confidence of the steady but certain progress of the Lord's work as carried on by our Samoan evangelists. The examinations of the schools afforded certain evidence that, in that important department of work there was true advance. The free-will offerings of the people may also be taken as a certain proof of spiritual life. We have sixteen islands and a population of about 10,000 all told (10,255 was last year's total). The contributions to the London Missionary Society amount to 1,518 dollars and 30 cents, island currency, in addition to £39 10s., English sterling. The people have contributed in money as pastor's stipend for the year the sum of 1,288 dollars and 20 cents, island currency, and £10 10s., sterling. The contributions are some 422 dollars above the average; and the sum contributed to the support of the native pastors is also very considerably in advance of past years. A French priest from Nanoute, brought by French ship of war Fabert to Nikunan (one of our Gilbert Island stafions) has been endeavoring to gain over our people by means of threats, presents and strategy. His efforts have been unsuccessful, and the visit may even»do good by inciting our teachers to greater earnestness, and leading the people to a closer and more intelligent acquaintance with the foundation truths of Evangelical Christianity. There is a burden of care in getting riches, fear in keeping them, temptation in using them, guilt in abusing them, sorrow in losing them, and a burden of account to be given up at last concerning them.—Matthew Henry. 19 The Oahu Railway and Land Co., was established with the view of developing large unused tracts of land on this island. An immediate result of its operations has been the incorporation of two first-class Sugar Companies, which have already broken ground, one at Honouliuli, Ewa. and one at Kahuku, Koolau. Each has a fifty years lease of several thousand acres of superior sugar land. They are boring artesian wells for irrigation and putting in cane as rapidly as possible. Being in the hands of some of our most experienced sugar men, there is every prospect of a high degree of success. The Fwa Company alone will furnish business enough to support the new railway, which is being rapidly extended to their land, fifteen miles from Honolulu. The first twelve miles to the Manana terminus, has been doing quite a good business for six weeks past. The Production OF Bananas is receiving a great impulse from the rapidly growing demand for this fruit in the Pacific States. We are now shipping nearly 100,000 bunches annually, worth one dollar each on the wharf. We are glad of this, because that, unlike sugar, it opens a fine prospect for the small farmers. The O. R. &L. Co. hope to supply irrigation 'to enable many small land holders to raise bananas in Ewa, at great advantage. Socially and morally, one hundred thousand dollars of products marketed by small farmers, means far more for the public weal than one million from sugar plantations. We learn that the O. R. & L. Co. are considering the expediency of reaching with their rails the moist and fertile district of Koolau, which is well adapted for the smaller producer if brought near to the market. The Pali wagon road will contribute somewhat thereto. Any extension of the railway to other districts, is understood to depend upon what subsidy the Legislature will feel disposed to grant. Mr. E. C. Bond of Kohala requests that the sum of $1,000, credited in the report of the Treasurer of the Hawaiian Board, in our February number, to himself, "for Building fund", be credited instead to his father, Rev. E. Bond. Mr. Theo. H. Davies quite unexpectedly reappeared among us from Sydney, with his son, having come by way of India and Ceylon. On Wednesday evening, February 12th, Mr. Davies gave the members of Central Union Church some account of his interviews with missionaries of different Boards in those countries. He was only seventeen days in India, but seems to have devoted much of his time.and very profitably, to missionary observation, giving to us many evidences of the successful progress of the work. �20 [March, 1890. THE FRIEND. Seventh-day-ism. A small but very zealous sect has been among us the past few years, who denounce all the rest of Christian Churches as apostate, and wearing'"the maik of the Beast", because they observe the First day of the week, or the Lord's Day, as the Sabbath, instead of the Seventh day, or Jewish Sabbath. They are reported to be about starting a missionary ship at the cost of twelve or fifteen thousand dollars, not to convert Pacific pagans, but to proselyte Polynesian Christians, and break up the churches, planted and nurtured by a century of Christian heroism. We wish to state what seem to our own mind the decisive arguments to prove the fallacy of their position. Different minds may be more impressed with other reasonings. 1. Since these hostile brethren insist so absolutely on a literal adherence to the precise provisions of the divine statute, let us see what the very letter of the law is. We challenge you, Brother Seventh-day-ist, to find in the Fourth .Commandment any" direction to observe the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath. "Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is a Sabbath unto the Lord thy God." Mark, not the seventh day of the wce-k, but the seventh day after six days of labor. No "week" in the commandment! and how dare you put it there ? How dare you lay a .burden on your brethren which God has not ordered ? We keep the six days of labor, and the one day of rest after them and that is just what God has commanded, and all that he has commanded. And when you come demanding that the seventh day for rest must come on the seventh day of the week, and not on the first, we see no occasion to be disturbed by your absurd demand. ' 2. The fundamental law, binding on all, being to observe a seventh day of rest after six days of labor, we must inquire upon which day of the week must the day of sacred rest come ? What is the by-law? For the Jews, it was the Seventh day ofthe week, or Saturday. For Christians, it is all over the globe the First day ofthe week, Sunday or Lord's Day. This is so now, and it has been so from the days of the Apostles! We know our seventh-day brethren have cooked up a quantity of alleged history to make out that the change of day was made in the fourth century. That is all nonsense. We have the ample testimony of the New Testament to the observance of 'he "Lord's day", also that of the "Didache", the chief Manual of the churches at the close of the Apostolic period. In general, we think it duty to observe as Sabbath the day of the week observed by the churches whereyou are. When we went round the Horn in 1840, we arrived at Tahiti on a Saturday. was Sunday on shore, the missionaries taking the time from Australia. So we made it Sunday, and it would have been very wrong not to have fallen in with the order of the churches where God had brought us. It would have been a very stupid setting up of the letter against the spirit of Christian fellowship and the spirit of common sense. 3. The Lord Jesus, by His repeated special meetings with His disciples on the First day of the week, sanctified and hallowed that day as the Christian Sabbath. He had the right to initiate such a change, being "Lord of the Sabbathday." That He did so appoint it appears from its observance from the Apostolic times and universally. The Resurrection of Christ from the dead, is the greatest event in this world's history. It gave us the Eternal Hope. It crowned Him as our King and Redeemer. To forsake the sacred observance of His Day, looks like disloyalty to Him. To return to the Jewish Sabbath is a letting down from the in Jesus. glory of 4. We would add in general, taking a broad view of the subject, that it seems to us a very small and cranky business to be making a vital point about what particular day of the week to observe. Does Religion consist in such niminypiminy details ? We ought to be above such pettiness. It is a serious matter to go about disturbing the settled order of the churches and of civil society as to the day of rest. It is a very grave sin to denounce Christians as apostates for a trifle. It is a very pernicious and destructive thing to denounce Sunday laws and try to break up Sunday observance to the upsetting of religion. But to make a vital matter of what day of the week should be kept holy by general agreement, seems to us to have little to do with true religion, which concerns itself with more important things'than the cut of a coat or the sanctifying of a holiday, or whether the sacramental bread shall be a wafer or a loaf, leavened or unleavened. We think that if Christians would get nearer to the mind of Christ, and live in a more spiritual atmosphere, they would find themselves lifted far above such inane trifles. Kawaiahao Seminary.—ln passing this institution, one may notice the erection in progress at the city end of the building, of a cottage about 10 feet by 24. This is intended for a hospital ward for the sick among the 125 pupils. Lately a number were down at once with the measles. Just now six or more are abed with La Grippe, and have to suffer from the commotion of the large dormitories. The cost of the new building is defrayed by the generosity of two of the Trustees. In order to raise money to furnish and equip the hospital, a Concert will be given in a few days by the school girls under the direction of Miss Patch, whose musical gifts are of the best, in Kawaiahao Church. They will be assisted by Prof. Berger's Orchestra, and a quartette of Kamehaineha students. We are told by good judges that the attractions to lovers of music will be great, and many will be glad to aid in making the sick girls and their hard-working teachers more comfortable. La Grippe.—Honolulu has been in a quite general enjoyment of this fashionable malady; there have been few cases of severity. It is evidently a decided form of epidemic influenza, but so far not nearly as severe as some of former years, which were so fatal among the natives. Our esteemed predecessor in the Friend, Rev. J. A. Cruzan, now of San Francisco, is an able and devoted pastor and no small success as a popular preacher. But he always had a tendency to poke fun at the "missionaries". In the Pacific of January 29th, he writes a : A large part of the best society there are descendants of the old missionary families, and, like the people of Athens in Paul's day, "are very religious." They set their faces like a flint against anything theatrical. into this peculiar community Locke Richardson Came, unheralded and unknown. He was not only a phenomenon, but a problem. Here was a whole company of "play actors" compressed into one man, giving a play in a dress coat. Was it "the thing" to countenance such an innovation ? It was a momentous question. Honolulu held its breath and waited. The first reading was the "Christmas Carol," given as The Rainy Season.—We had no only I.ocke Richardson can give it, to "a small but appreciative audience." Hut the question rainy season last winter. This year it was settled Richardson captured the town. has "been transferred from December to It seems rather queer that Brother - February.

Baii.ey, (our dear Father Bai- one-half mile ofthe ascent is completed ley) is giving through the P. C. Adverfrom below. At the upper end, the new cutting in the rock will soon be completed so as to connect with the old road. The appropriation of $10,000 will soon be exhausted. The most difficult section, the cutting above the present road, will have to await a fresh appropriation. The grade is moderate, eight feet in the hundred, which will permit heavy wagon ■ freighting from Koolau. No doubt the Legislature will authorize the active prosecution of the work. West" Maui Mountain Road.—We are glad to learn that the $15,000 appropriated for this work has already resulted in the completion of an excellent carriage road to the "Big Gulch", fr»m which point to Maalaea there are no serious difficulties to overcome. The highest point above the sea is 180 feet; the steepest grade, seven feet in the hundred, which occurs at the western end. The engineer is Mr. Bruner, who directed the Punchbowl road. There were several ugly gulches, requiring much powder. The Volcano Road.—This is completed to the 103dstation near the Halfway house, or about three-fifths of the whole. The remaining twelve miles even now present an easier journey than that from Keauhou, even after the three hours easy staging from Hilo. When the road is through to the Volcano, there will be continuous wheeling to Kau for sixty miles, the longest stretch, we believe, yet to be found in these Islands. The appropriation of $35,000 has been expended and the work is being continued at private expense. Many score miles of road of local importance have been built during the past two years out of the local road taxes. Had half the same activity and skill been applied during the past ten years of prosperity, every important district in the group would have been accessible on wheels from the chief ports of the respective islands. But the old regime was semi-barbaric, indifferent to finance and public improvement, intent on display and squandering. In spite of "National" feeling, a return to power of the old barbarism must be, in the nature of things, impossible. All sensible Hawaiians must soon come to see that they are equally interested with foreigners in economical administration, even if.the foreigner has to take the lead therein. 21 THE FRIEND. tiser a series of papers upon his recent visit to Alaska. He has evidently seen a great deal, and tells it well. Father Bailey is fifteen or twenty years our senior, so we may hope to do some roaming yet, though not our lot very much hitherto. He gives an interesting notice of the somewhat celebrated VI r. Duncan of Metlakhatla, who was a fellow-passenger up from Tacoma. There seems to have been a ridiculous episode on board from an attempt of a zealous Anglican priest to forbid Mr. Duncan's labors, because a rebel against Church authority. Mr. Duncan has, however, removed his noble mission work over the Canada boundary into a free country, and is evidently making it once more a grand success. Our Anglican brethren are many of them most zealous'and efficient workers for Christ and souls, and when they have learned to drop some absurd pretensions, will contribute powerfully to the work of the Gospel. The Ideal and the Real.—A cer- tain man dreamed that in his garden there sprang up a wonderful plant, the like of which he had never seen. It grew into.a stately bush, exquisite in foliage, perfect in symmetry, and upon its summit it bore a flower, in form and color of surpassing beauty. And when the man awoke, he thought, 'since I have dreamed of a flower, surely it exists somewhere, and so I must and will possess it.' And as time went on, the' desire of it ever deepened in his heart, until all his life centered in the search. At length, returning from a fruitless journey, he discovered, near his own gateway, a single sprout, the leaf of which was the leaf of the plant of his Trembling with delight, he dream. transported it to his garden, and day by day he watched its growth. It took kindly to the soil and flourished, but it sent forth its leaves and branches, not as the dream plant had done, but in a fashion-of its own, and without regularrity or symmetry. And when the man perceived this he was displeased, and taking a knife, he cut and trimmed it, and he built a fence around it, and bound the tender shoots as he would have them, determined it should be as the plant of his dream. Thereupon the leaves wilted and dropped from the stem, and the whole plant sickened and drooped, and all its beauty passed away. And when the man saw this, he tore away its supports in anger, and cast it to the ground, and went away in bitter disap- pointment. Many days after, he was pacing in his garden, when he perceived in the air a stiange fragrance, and approaching the spot whence it came, he perceived the despised plant erect and flourishing. It was not as the dream plant had been, tall and symmetrical, but it was vigorous and fair, and it also bore upon its summit a flower; a flower not so large in shape, nor so dazzling in color, yet beautiful with a beauty of its own, and filling all the air with sweetness. And, with a sudden thrill, the man remembered that the flower of his dream had been without fragrance. Christian Union. (Continued from page 23.) stand against the determined'purpose of the stronger mind and more favored life ? On one side the advantage of the larger, fairer inheritance; on the other but the beginning of the dawn of it. The one the desiring, and the other the desired; the one the envying, and the other the almost envied life. Is there wonder that such pitiable conquests are achieved? One thing is certain, we must not relax our vigilance. The Jionor and purity of a remnant must be kept. What is done by way of shielding from danger those at the school must be done, if neoessary, after school days are over. To our mind this tale, which is but one of many such, most pitiful to relate, points to the need of a home for native girls to be established and kept in our city: a home to which the bright, trained school graduate may go, if she has no where better to go to, and there live respectably and earn an honestlivelihood.

Fisher, who lately arrived among us by one of the San Francisco steamers, and who preached last Sabbath morning at the Central Union Church, is an elder (ordained clergyman) in the Methodist Kpiscopal Church ofthe United States. He comes out at the request of Bishop Fowler of California to look over the Japanese work now being carried on in the Islands under the fostering care of his Church, and of which Mr. Harris lately had the charge. If the way is made clear, Mr. Fisher may settle among us as a fellow-laborer, and so superintend this important work. It may be pleasant for those who shall enjoy his further acquaintance to know, that Mr. Fisher is from Rochester, N.Y., where he has had a charge for several We are glad to state that the twelve empty parishes lately reported have been diminished by .the coming of two more workers into the field. Rev. P. Keaiir puni, an ex-pastor, lately resident at Haiku, was settled February 9th at Wailuku, Maui, and J. K. Kawaiaea of Kaupo, Maui, and a graduateof some years standing of the Theological Institute, has gone to labor at Eleele. Natives are not always slow. As soon as Mr. Kawaiaea received his call, he consulted his wife and decided on immediate acceptance, and came by the next steamer Mr. Jiro.

It was at the house of the neutral man that the defendant stopped, and to whom he paid the $5. We think the case shows worse for these lunas than for Mr. Paikuli. The cases were appealed to the Supreme Court. r> Japanese, men and women have been added to the Foreign Church. The pastor Rev. E. P. Baker, administered These are the ordinance of baptism. the ingatherings which. have been brought to two sacramental services. It is expected that in time others will also be received, as "many more are coming to Christ in every plantation." Mr. Okabe speaks of the good work done by a converted Japanese gambler. Being a plantation luna (gang leader), and having under him some seventyfive of his countrymen, he is an influential man, and is helping to Christianize his brethren. This man was first reached through a tract sent him by a member of the mission. In the words ol our brother: "What a wonderful change! What a great mercy of God." Another man was reached through the conversion of his dying wife, and he, a strong Buddhist, became a Christian. "Are you not afraid" said Mr. Okabe to the dying woman. "I am quite willing" was the reply, to leave this miserable earth any time to be with the Lord forever." Mr. Okabe has seven preaching stations, and the Board has just voted him a helper to be paid $10 a month, only $5 being asked for Mr. Okabe's helper is one of his own converts. The second charge was of a more serious character, and for this he was adjuged a fine of $50 and $3.90 costs. It seems that on the election day Mr. Paikuli had twelve lunas or runners at work for him. To none of these, as he affirms, did he pay mon#y or make promise of payment, save to one and to him on election morning, he gave S"> in discharge of what he felt was due for a couple of nights' lodgings furnished himself and friends. And yet he candidly admits that such were his feelings of obligation to these lunas after the election was over, he had it in mind to ■-enumerate them in someway, which a.s the law now reads, it would have been illegal for him to do. It is not charged even by his accusers that he did commit or meant to commit intentional wrong. The case nevertheless has its ridiculously suspicious features. For instance it is a little remarkable that two of the men whom the defendant asked to be The Superintendent of the Chinese work reports good progress. In speaking of Honolulu, he says, that there are sixty-two in the Boys School, and thirty in the Girls School. An evening school of three grades has been opened at the Chinese Church, with an attendance of over twenty adults. Steven Chinese and half-Chinese girls are at Kawaiahao Seminary. Two Chinese evangelists are laboring on the island of Kauai, one on Maui, and two on Hawaii. News from the missions at Kohala and Wailuku is also encouraging. "The Superintendent is endeavoring to secure the co-operation of Christian friends at different points on the Islands, for the distribution of Christian reading matter among the Chinese." Our Superintendent needs an Fnglish helper, and it is expected that he will secure one before long. yean. — He began his ministry in California was presiding elder in the state of Nevada for thirteen years, during eight, of which years he was Superintendent of Public Instruction for the state. He conies to these Islands partly in search of health. The Rev. J. N. Paikuli, pastor of the Church of Waikane. and successful candidate for the sixth district, was arraigned before the Police Court this week and sentenced under two charges. The first concerned an irregularity in the making of his election returns to the Interior Department, he failing to forward a sworn statement. For this he was adjudged five minutes imprisonment at haul labor and to pay $'t.7costs. 23 THE FRIEND. Rev. A.

We were talking together—a native pastor and myself: "By the way," said he, I have just received a most mournful letter from " (mentioning a leading native living in an old mission center). "What is the matter with him? He seemed so prosperous and well the last time I was with him." " He thinks of leaving the place, work and all." "You do not mean it! Where could he go to find a more honorable situation and a more congenial employment?" "To a place where he could hide his shame—not his though, but his family's, and only so his. One daughter is already a wanton, and the other—and the He is one of poor father is the salt of the earth, and so is the mother.

"Were either of these young women graduates of any of our seminaries?" " Yes, I believe one of them was;" and from the conference we returned more convinced than ever that the fight we are making must, in part, be one for chaste native homes. There are such homes in the land we firmly believe, and more perhaps than there ever were before, and the number of them is increasing.

About' three years ago Mr. Davies broke up his home here and took his family back to their London home. In making the trip since he last visited us he has made an interesting tour of the globe, and I will just whisper that he has promised to give the friends of the Association an evening's talk on his recent journey through India. On his return from Hawaii the date will be fixed and due notice given, but a social reception will come first on the docket. Mr: Davies is a thorough Y. M. C. A. man, has always been one of our most substantial supporters and enthusiastic workers. His stay is short, but we are glad to have him with us if only for a few weeks. Items. The Y. M. C. A. Boys held their regular meeting last month in the Association parlors. They were glad to welcome number present who seemed to thoroughly appreciate the well rendered programme, and listened with close attention to the address of Mr. T. S. Southwick on Prohibition. This theme is a favorite topic with Mr. Southwick, and we believe the sooner it becomes the sentiment of a healthy majority here and elsewhere the better it will be for sinning and suffering humanity. Where Does the Sin Commence? To drink deeply—to be drunken—is a sin, this is not denied. At what point does the taking of strong drink become a sin ? The state in which the body is when not excited by intoxicating drink is its proper and natural state; drunkenness is the state furthest removed from it. The state of drunkenness is a state of sin; at what stage does it become sin? We suppose a man perfectly sober who has not tasted anything which can intoxicate; one glass excites him and, to some extent, disturbs the state of sobriety, and so far destroys it; another glass excites him still more; a third fires his eye, loosens his tongue, inflames his passions; a fourth increases all this; a fifth makes him foolish and partially insane; a sixth makes him savage; a seventh or eighth makes him stupid, a senseless, degraded mass; his reason is quenched, his faculties are for the time destroyed. Kvery noble and generous and holy principle within withers, and the image of God is polluted and defiled. This is sin, awful sin; for "drunkards shall not inherit the kingdom of God." But where does the sin begin ? At the first glass, at the first step towards complete intoxication, or at the sixth, or seventh or eighth? Is not every step from the natural state of the system toward the slate of stupid intoxication an advance in sin and a yielding to the unwearied tempter of the soul 3 John Bright. Soul-Touch. There is a blessed influence of one true, human soul on another! not calculable by algebra, not deducible by logic, but mysterious, effectual, mighty as the hidden process by which the tiny seed is quickened and.bursts forth into tall stems and broad leaf and glowing tasselled llowers. Ideas are often poor ghosts; our sun-filled eyes cannot discern them; the)- pass athwart us in their vapor, and cannot make themselves felt. But sometimes they are made flesh; they breathe upon us warm breath; they touch us with soft, responsive hands, they look at us with sad, sincere eyes and speak tongues in appealing tones; they are clothed in a living, human soul, with all its conflicts, its faith and love. Then their presence is a power, then they shake us like a passion and we are drawn after them with gentle compulsion as flame is drawn to flame.— George their President Mrs. B. F. Dillingham, who had just returned from an extended trip through the Eastern States. Mrs. Dillingham presided at the meeting, and gave to the Boys a brief account of some of the places she had visited. The next meeting occurs next Thursday', March 7th, at 3 p.m. A very pleasant entertainment was given in the Y. M. C. A. Hall by the Blue Ribbon League on Saturday evening, February 22nd. There was a good Elliot. The Start is the Victory. So you want' to borrow $500 to start on? "If you only had $500 capital you have a chance now to start a business that will grow into thousands, and perhaps millions, eh?" All that you need is a start, is it? Well, my son, I don't know about investing $500 in you until you have invested something in yourself. I want to see you trot one heat, anyhow, before I decide whether you are safe to back. Listen to me, my son, the man who can make a $500 business grow into thousands, and perhaps millions always gets the $500. Always. Here, I'll tell you what I'll do with you, I'll give you a dollar. Now, a man who can make millions out of five hundred, can easily make five hundred out of one. Good bye, my son; good bye. Don't work too hard if you don't want to get rich. And remember, son, the man who has to have another man's capital to start on usually spends all his life working for the other man. Start yourself, my boy; it will be easy work if you are .going down hill. liurdette. — The Unused Umbrella. A youth was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit, when finding it was begthning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was snugly placed in a corner, and was preceding to open it, when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming, "No, no; that you never shall! I've had that umbrella twenty-three years, and it has never been wet yet; and I'm sure it shan't be wetted now." Some folk's religion is of the same quality. It is none the worse for wear. It is a respectable article to be looked at, but it must not be damped in the showers of daily life. It stands in a corner, to be used in case of serious illness or death, but it is not meant for common occasions. We are suspicious that the twentythree years' old gingham was gone at the seams, and if it had been unfurled it would have leaked like a sieve. At any rate, we are sure that this is the case with the hoarded-up religion which has answered no useful turn in a man's life. C. 11. S. — . A Thousand Dollar Funnel.

Cooper, of Huahine, Society Islands, writes: I should be glad to help your "Missionary Column" if I could send something of interest, but there are neither famines nor revivals to report. We are expecting to hear now by any mails what the Directors have arranged with the Paris Missionary Society in connection with our Society's entire withdrawal from the mission. I was amused, and perhaps just a little annoyed, with a four-line paragraph amongst your mission scraps several months ago to the effect that I was on the point of abandoning my field on account of these Islands becoming French. Certainly lam not abandoning my field, nor is the L. M. S. in the ordinary sense of the term. When our Directors hav_ ordered withdrawal then I am bound to leave the work. But to speak of abandoning the mission is not correct, either as applied to myself or to the Society. Circumstances have arisen, and are such that withdrawal on the part ofthe L. M. S. has hardly been a matter of choice. My colleague's death, twelve months ago, undoubtedly precipitated the step, but I question if his continuance in'life could have averted it in the end. Political complications are by no means approaching settlements. The French bave annexed the Islands, and the tri-color waves over us daily, but the hearts of the people remain unannexed, and they show no signs of giving up their opposition to French rule, and quietly accepting the inevitable. In advising the latter course in the interests of peace and progress, both Mr. Richard and myself have been greatly misunderstood by the native populations; and mental suffering has not been wanting as a consequence. I only remain in the field, and when the Mission is reinforced it will have to be by French Missionaries. In a city church the place of an organblower was vacant.

"So you are the new girl," said the boarders to the new waiter; "and by what name are we to call you?" "Pearl," said the maid, with a saucy toss of her head. "O," asked a smart boarder, "are you the pearl of great price?" "No: I'm the pearl that was cast before swine.'' There was a long silence, broken only by the buzz of the flies in the milkpitcher. As a handful of quicksilver flung to the earth breaks into a hundred separate globules, each globule reflecting a fullorbed sun, so, though by disruptions and revolutions and reformations the Church has been broken into a hundred sects, each sect may hold in the bosom of its faith a full-orbed Christ. Rev. A. J. Gordon. He who knew human nature best, who has thrown that terrible ray of light into the unlit gulf of the heart when he tells us "what proceeds out of the heart of man," had yet the ear which was the first to hear the trembling of one chord that yet kept healthful time and tune in the harlot's passionate heart. He believed that man was recoverable; lost, but capable of being found. -Bishop — Alexander. "Now a word came stealing upon me, And mine ear caught the murmur thereof In thoughts from the visions of night, When falleth on men heavy sleep. Fear fell upon me, and terror. And caused all my bones to shake. And a wind goes floating before me; The hair of my flesh riseth up. It stands, but I know not its shape; A form is before mine eyes, A whisper and voice I hear: Can a mortal be juster than God, Or a man than his Maker more pure!" fob Translation by G. H. Gilbert. Follow Christ, ... In spirit, if restrial affairs will have passed away, all its history destroyed, all its monuments forgotten. Will it be the accumulation of a few poor, pitiful millions of dollars, most of which he could not use even while in the flesh ? Will it be that his name was in the newspapers of his day ? Will it be that he had a momentary thrill of physical enjoyment ? What will it be ? If amid all these things, he was ever able to turn one soul from the error of his way. and stopped and dried up a stream of sin, and brought that soul into the possession of eternal life, will not that in the memory of the world to come be to the man something in value outweighing all thrones and scepters and crowns and terrestrial palaces ? God never leaves the soul without some light. As Charles Kingsley said in the London fog "There is always light enough to get home." No good work stops for one man. Individual health is attained by selfdenial. It is a great shame to a man to have a poor heart and a rich purse. It is a great deal better to live holy than to talk about it. Teach true life to fight with mortal wrong. Knowledge unused for the good of others is more in vain than unused gold. When one has learned to seek the honor that comes from God only, he will take the witholding of the honor that comes from man very quietly indeed. Do not be in a hurry, but be diligent. It is our own past which has made us what we are. We are the children of our own deeds. I love these little people, and it is no slight thing that they who are so fresh from God love us. Dickens.
