Stuart Dodge, of New York, had died at Siinsbury, Conn., on October 22, 1888, and his wife had passed away at Geneva, N. V., after prolonged sufferings on August 6, 1889. Bowing with noble submission under these afflictions Dr. Boyd's last days closed in peace. He was attended by one of his two surviving daughters, the Wife of James Hyde Pratt, Esq., of Greenbush Heights, N. V., and was gladdened by affectionate messages from his other daughter, the wife of Chief Justice Judd, of Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. Dr. Boyd was of pure Scottish ancestry; the eldest son of Robert and Mary Scott Boyd, of Albany, N. Y. He was born May 2, 1804, at the town of Windham, on Ihe Cmskill Mountains, and was a graduate of Union College, class of 1822, and of l'linceton Thcol'gual Seminary, class of 1826. After licensure and ordination he performed devoted service as a Home Missionary in Wayne county, Ohio, and at Sacketts Harbor and Brownville, N. .Y., until his health became impaired. He then went to Scotland, where he studied under Dr. Chalmers at Edinburgh. Returning to America, became pastor of the Second Presbyterian church in Watertown, N. V., and in 1832 he married Miss Eliza beth Camp, of Sacketts Harbor, a lady of brilliant intellectual gifts and earnest Christian energies, widely known in evangelical The Rev. James R.

THE FRIEND. Tony's Opinion. By Rev. W. B. Oleson. A council for the ordination of a missionary to Micronesia was held at Asterisk, November 17, 1887. It proved to be a great eA'ent in that staid New England village. Nearly every one, who was able to be present attended the protracted examination of the candidate throughout the day, and the ordination exercise in the evening. The next day, in common probably with the rest oi Asterisk, the members of Deacon Faithful's household talked long and interestingly about the various features of the council. Nothing escaped the shrewd observers of the Deaton's home-circle, as Aye shall see. They discussed the attainments of the young man who was ordained, commented on the alertness of some of the examiners, laughed over some of the repartees on infant baptism, admired the evident consecration and good-sense of the candidate, and enjoyed together the flavor of romance attending his departure for such a far-away land where for aught some of them knew, he would be met at the shore on his arrival and escorted at once to a cannibal feast. One of the company had quietly listened in his corner to What the others had been saying. He had as yet volunteered no remark, but as the conversation gradually approached the destination and work of the new missionary, he could contain himself no longer. Rising from his chair, he startled the others as he jerked out, "I'd just like to see that young man go to Avork Avith a heathen crowd." The speaker was one of those peculiar products of New England farm-life, largeframed, sinewy, with a bright eye and an air of robust good-sense that supported Avell anything he had to say. "Why, Tony, what's up now ?" broke in the Deacon. "Well, I'd just like to see him with a gang of heathen gaping at him and see what he'd do. I guess 'twould puzzle him more than it did to-day to tell how it is that God is good and mighty and yet lets lots of things happen that are as bad as they can be." "Tell us whatyou'redrivingat, Tony," said the Deacon. this. That young man has a "Justeducation. He understands the tip-top 'ologies and everything of that sort, and / think he could teach some of those old But he's � men who quizzed him to-day. got to graduate from another school before he gets hold of savages. Those fellows down to Cape Cod learned to catch-fish by going down to the Banks when they were little chaps. They didn't go to High Schools and Academies and study how fieh-lines are made, or how many fins a fish has. High Schools and Academies are all good enough but a diploma doesn't tell the cod-fish, and 'twould be no recommend vVith one of those cape skippers if a fellow wanted to go to the Banks as an able seaman." "Hold on, Tony," said the Deacon. "Tell us the bearing of all this." "Well, that's easy enough. That young man who was ordained yesterday is bound for Micronesia, isn't he ? What does he know about Micronesia, and how many questions Avere asked him about what he is going to do when he gets there ?" 'Do ! Why learn the language and preach to the natives, and organize churches, and build school-houses, and translate books, and educate the people, and teach them industrious habits, and "Well, let's stop and go back a century. What will he do when he begins? Has he any idea ? Has anybody any idea ? Does he know what his surroundings will be, and how he will have to live ? Did any of the examiners find that he had any special fitness for the kind of work he will have to do down on those miserable little islands ? Did any of them by any of their questions or remarks leave any impression that some special preparation was necessary ? It seems to me they didn't care whether he was going to Micronesia or Mozambique so long as he believed in predestination. I guess if there had been a dozen of those Micronesians present, and one or two returned Missionaries, those examiners would have realized that the man they were examining was going to a very particular kind of work that must be done in a very pai titularkind of way, and / think they would have dropped about nine-tenths of those theological questions and had a sensible examination of the young man as to the ways and means of working and living among people not over-particular about their conduct or their clothing. It strikes me that there's something nigh on to wicked in sending a likely young man off on such an errand without any more help than he got yesterday. Who gave him any advice that will serve him when he gets fo work ?" "Well, Tony, they didn't have much to say about that, that's a fact." "Now, there's Joe," continued Tony. "He understands dairying. I'm all wheat. It's no use my buying him out and going into cheese-making until I learn the trade. And Joe might get his wheat in and harvest a good crop, if he were to buy me out and then again he mightn't. It takes one kind of man for one thing, and another kind of man for another thing. And no man will ever learn to make butter in a wheat-field." "But Tony, we were talking about the missionary," said his mother. "And a man that's good enough for Asterisk may not be good enough for Micronesia. You see, mother, I'm talking about the missionary, too. I count secret of how to catch on that man's consecration every time. He's a prime fellow, and it's too bad he's got his trade all to learn after he begins his work. He ought to know what he's got to do, and how he's going to get at it beforehand. Something's wrong. Parson has been having up-hill work here in Asterisk just because he didn't know how to get his hand in at first." "Tony, you ought not to speak so of Parson Baker." "Bless you, mother, Parson is the best man in the country, and I don't know where there's a smarter man. There wasn't any here yesterday. But he knows that theology is one thing, and handling men is quit* another. I wouldn't want to eat Joe's chevse if he'd learned his trade out of the Unabridged Dairyman's Compendium. And I don't think the savages in Micronesia, gentle as they may be, and with a possible appetite for metaphysics, will take kindly to theology, especially the kind that makessyour head ache when you try to understand it. Grit and knack and a big heart will catch more heathen in a month than this whittled-out and sandpapered theology that the ministers have such fun over when they examine missionaries would catch in a century." "But, my dear boy" said the Deacon, who, somehow, when specially interested always talked as though walking about a horse, "how shall we break in the young missionaries? You're right, something's wrong. We didn't put that young man to his mettle. But what shall we do? We can't turn him loose down there in Micronesia, and ever hope to catch him again. We must try on the harness while we have him. He must look out for the ditches himself when he comes to them." "And get mired the first thing like your Knox colt." "But Tony, animals have instinct." "And men haven't, unless commonsense is instinct; and how many questions were asked yesterday to find out how much common-sense that young man had? It's all Avell enough to find out whether a man is orthodox and all that, but a man's creed needs to be balanced with- common-sense. There's Parson coming now, ask him what he thinks." "Just in the nick of time, Parson. Tony's on a canter all around the lot. He's off at a bound Avhen we speak to him. You can manage him though, and we're glad you've happened in." "Well, Deacon, Tony's commonsense holds him pretty straight to the marl;. Something is crooked somewhere, my boy; what is it?' "Oh, Parson, he's soured on that council. The examining committee avhs one short." "Well, Joe, perhaps I've laid myself open to that charge. I guess I've said more than I ought to." "No, no, Tony" said the Deacon. �"No, my boy; I don't believe it," said Parson. "Tell" us what the council did that was wrong." "It didn't do anything wrong exactly. 'Twas something it didn't do that bothered me." "Give us specifications, Tony.". "Well, that council examined that man's theological education. They didn't examine him; and as I understand it, he's the one that's going to Micronesia. How much did they find out about him and about his fitness for being a missionary in Micronesia? They didn't ask a question bordering on the subject except "Avhy do you choose a foreign instead of a home missionary field?" and that might have been asked if he'd been going to China or Zululand." "Well done, Tony. You've hit the nail on the head. All the Avay over I'a« been thinking what it was that made the council so much more unsatisfactory than I hoped it would be." "Why, Parson, didn't you enjoy the council?" "Enjoy it? Yes, indeed-! But I felt something Avas lacking, and Tony has struck it." "I don't want to set myself up as a fault-finder, but I wish they'd asked some questionsyesterday that theydidn't ask." "What questions Tony?" "Why, a good many. For instance, 'what have you read about Micronesia?' Or, 'what teachings are likely to get a grip on the consciences of those people first?' Or, 'what would you do if theydidn't seem to catch on to what seem to you the first truths in religion?' Or, 'how would you go to work to change their habits?' Or, 'what can you teach them to-do that will keep them busy, and give you a fair show at them?' Or, 'what can you do for yourself if you get sick?' Or, 'have you ever talked with any returned missionaries from Micronesia?' Or, 'do you know why so many missionaries have failed to keep on in the work there?' Or, 'how do you think you'll get along with the other missionaries?' "But Tony, you must remember that Mr. Wilmot is a Christian." "So was Dr. Livingstone and the missionaries in South Africa, but they Avere men too, and they had plenty of opportunities for patience and forbearance and submission, that they didn't always manifest." THE FRIEND. the work assigned him and not murmur Avhen he sees another doing a work that he knows he could do as well if not better. There must be leaders and he must be content not to be one of them. Books Avill be translated and his name not get on the cover. Someone else will be chosen to describe to home audiences the wonderful results of the mission to Avhich he belongs. Books will be published about his mission and no mention be made of the large share which he had in accomplishing the glorious results." "That's it, Parson. And a man ought to face some of these things before he's sent from America. I don't believe there was another man on the council that had a thought about them." "Well, Tony, I hadn't, or else I would have asked some of your questions. I'll never miss another such chance. And now while we're talking about this it appears to me that if councils for ordaining missionaries, (and they are the responsible parties) would only be exacting and sensible in their examinations of young men from the seminaries, it wouldn't be long before those same young men would find that they'd have to make a diligent practical preparation for the particular places they were going to or else fail to pass muster. I'm not sure that ordaining councils that lived up to their privileges might not prove more of a stimulus to young men seeking missionary appointment and more of a check on those unfitted"to go, than the modern proposition to prepare missionary training schools. An;way, I don't propose to miss another chance to help a young man to an understanding of what he is enlisting for." "It aint treating him fair, no ways," broke in the Deacon, "this giving a missionary the send-off, and not having a word to say about what's going to Concern him so much in his life among the heathen. I tell you, Tony, I'm glad you've given us the word on this. I only wish you'd harness in with us, my boy." "Yes, Tony," said his mother, "the Lord needs you and you ought to be His." "We'd all be glad," said Joe who at heart admired his brother's rugged manliness. "Perhaps Tony is hearer the Great Decision than we think," added Parson Baker, and then rising to go, he grasped Tony's hand and in an undertone said— "To-day, Tony !" And Tony for a moment disconcerted at the turn in the conversation could only brush away a tear, and watch the Parson as he walked down to the gate, mounted his horse, and rode away. "Well, I know one thing," said he turning to the group at the fire-place, "Parson Baker's the kind of man to catch savages anywhere !" "Tony is right again. A spirit of cooperation is a very essential requisite in a missionary. He should be a man who can endure disappointment; who can graciously witness the setting aside of his favorite scheme as Livingstone was twice obliged to do about the training school he tried to establish; who can leave a home that he has made himself and move on into new regions because of the jealousy and utterances of another You can no more afford to keep relimissionary as Livingstone was forced to gion out of your ballot than you can do at Mabotsa; who can faithfully do afford to keep it out of your life. 27 Volume 48, No. 4.] Conditions of Communion. From a Sermon by E. G. Beckwith, D.D. There is but one condition, love to Christ, to be a new creature in Christ Jesus. "As many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and on the Israel of God." There is but one condition. If I am a child of God, as I am made welcome to fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ, I ought to be made welcome to the fellowship of all who are one Avith me in their love for our common Lord and Savior. And he who hinders me because I cannot say his shibboleths, or sing his songs, or accept his unctions, or learn his liturgies, or receive his baptisms, or work under his polities, or submit to his ecclesiastical canons —he Avho shuts me away from communion with Christ and his people for any other reason than because I am not a child of God, does me a cruel unkindness; and in that day coming so soon when we shall all take each other by the hand -as we shall all of us who love Him, of Avhatever ecclesiastical name, or whatever shade of ecclesiastical belief—no child of God in the realms of glory will ever refuse fellowship with any other child of God in the realms of glory. I say, in that day coming so soon, when we shall all take each other by the*hand at the threshold of our heavenly Father's house, and bow together before the great white throne, and sit doAvn together at the marriage supper of the Lamb, I shall expect to see that dear brother who will not let me sit with him here at the table of our common Lord, hastening to find me, and take me by the hand, and insist upon my sitting close beside him; and as we sit there together with Jesus and all the ransomed, I should not wonder if I should hear him whispering in my ear, T beg your pardon, brother, for not letting you sit with me down there at our church communions". And I shall forgive him before he says it, and then we shall join hands again, and stand up together, and sing so that all in heaven can hear us, "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion, for there the Lord commandeth his blessing, even life forevermore." It is not books on the shelf but books in the brain that tell. The dullest preachers I know of have splendid libraries. They own everything that has been written on miracles, and yet whenyou hear them preach, if you did not get sound asleep that would be a miracle. Talmage. — �28 ' Judge Deady on Missionaries. We take pleasure in printing by special request the following extract from the remarks of Hon. M. P. Deady, U. S. District Judge of Oregon, at the banquet given by Chief Justice Judd to the members of the Bar, March 7, 1890, '• In Oregon there were two counter forces at work, commerce and trade, Missionaries and travelers and farmers about the same time, the Missionaries first and then traders. The traders would merely represent the commerce of this day; they were as a class half pirate and half trader. They left no mark on the shore; they did their business on the decks of their vessels and then went away, but they are both illustrations of how the English-speaking race has colonized the whole world through the agency of Christianity and commerce; they have gone hand in hand to bring up the morals and prosperity of the people. It is not a kind of Christianity that goes down to the native, that goes to him and stays with him, but it goes to him and brings him up to the standard of the plane on which it is, and I have found a great deal of similarity exists between these islands and Oregon in this respect. I can see all through this country the indelible marks of the benefit that'Christianity has wrought through the missionaries that came here from the United States. (Applause.) But of course in a civilized country there must be something besides the missionary. There must be commerce, there must be freedom and there must be government, and the missionary must take his place, not be all and all in the government, and this country is passing through that stage. But I think that the people of this country, are not aware of the fact that the first people that became their teachers, their leaders, and introduced them to Christianity, were people of high wisdom and benevolence and industry, who taught them to take care of themselves and live in this world as well as they could; I do not think they realize that fact." It is scarcely possible for any person sojourning at our hotels, to escape the impression, from the constant storm of obloquy poured upon "missionaries," that they have hitherto been "all in all in the government." People at home here know that for the past thirty years, missionaries have exerted very little direct influence in the government. There are indeed only two men here in active life who hold commissions as missionaries of the American Board. There is however a powerful body of public opinion on moral and political questions, prevailing in this community, which is the fruit of the former labors . . THE FRIEND. and influence of the American Missionaries. It makes little difference what party is in power in the government, this body of public opinion continues to exert an effective influence against political and social corruption. We are quite sure that none would more keenly regret the absence of this wholesome and conserving influence than many of those who permit themselves to join in the senseless talk against "missionaries'' which has come down from the old wanton times of the traders and beachcombers. General and Mrs. J. F. B. Marshall, after a visit of nearly five months, have taken their leave of the Islands. The hearty welcome which has constantly met them here has doubtless made their stay as agreeable to themselves as it has been profitable and. stimulating to our social and educational interests. On another page will be found a contribution, made by request, upon the heroic and successful work of the negro, Mr. B. F. Washington, in creating the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial School in Alabama. We are most thankful to General Marshall for this story of wise enterprise and devotion which, we do not forget, received its impetus from the grand worjj of Gen. Armstrong at Hampton, and witnesses the greatness and thoroughness of that work. It tells what sort of men Hampton builds up and sends forth. Among its inspiring lessons it tells us how essential an element in the creation of efficient character, is thorough training in strenuous and skilled labor. We believe that the introduction of that element into the Pflnahou curriculum would knock a great deal of the nonsense out of the young people. . Death of Rev. James Ely. The Rev-. James Ely died at Thompsonville, Ct., January 20th, aged 91. He came to these Islands with the second band of missionaries, arriving in 1823, and was stationed first at Waimea, Kauai; then in 1824 at Kaawaloa, where he received Queen Kapiolani into church membership; then at Honolulu, returning to the States on account of ill health in 1828, and was pastor of the church in Bolton, Conn., for sixteen years. 11l health again caused retirement from regular ministerial duties. In 1850,with two other ministers, he organized the Presbytery of Connecticut, and founded the Presbyterian church of Hartford. His first wife (Louisa Everest) died in 1849, and in 1852 he married Mis. Sibyl Metcalf, who died las* October. He was gentle, loving, earnest, faithful. blessed in his work here and in the home [April, 1890 land, and after years of increasing infirmity, has passed in extreme old age from the cares of earth* to the reAvards of the world beyond.—P. C. Advertiser. It was a surprise to us to learn that there had been so recently a single survivor of the missionaries of pioneer times. Mr. Ely was a comrade of Messrs. Richards, Stewart, Bishop and Levi Chamberlain, whose voyage was described in Stewart's Journal. It was in the thatched cottage of Mr. Ely at Kaawaloa, a few rods from the site of Cook's monument that the editor was born. Rev. A. O. Forbes was born in the same house six years later, among the rugged billows of pahoehoe lava, »and the cocoanuts. On one side the dark, forbidding pali, on the other the dashing surf leaping high as it struck the lava capes. Aloha no ike one lianau! The villages along the coast in those days were large, and swarming with half-naked Hawaiians. Foreign food was scarce, and comforts few, but a grand work was being done for the healing of the people in body and in spirit. We always heard Mr. Ely's part in this work named with honor. Death of a Survivor of the Nuuanu Pali Massacre. In the Nupepa Kitokoa of March 23d, is reported the death on February 19th of an aged woman at Waimanalo, named Kahemolele, Avho remembered the Pali slaughter of 1791,"and who must therefore have been not less tha n 104 years old. Her father went to the fight, but escaped. The earliest fugitives from the massacre at the Nuuanu Pali, gave the alarm, and the women and children fled to the mountain precipices to hide. Kahemolele was able to walk, but remembers her mother carrying her on her back, strictly forbidding her to cry, lest the pursuing victors should find them. Many little ones crying, were for that reason abandoned by their parents and slaughtered; and many persons were traced out by the cries of their children, and slain. After the fury of the battle was over, a general protection and security (Mamalahoa) was ordered by Kamehameha, and criers summoned the fugitives from their hiding-places. Kahemolele lived certainly under eight kings, and possibly nine, namely, Kahekili, Kalanikupule, the five Kamehamehas, Lunalilo and Kalakaua. �Volume 48, No. 4.] 29 THE FRIEND. HANALEI—A MEMORY. Visit of Rev. Daniel C. Greene. D. D. For The Fkiknii. We were favored on the 29th ult. by a brief call at this port, of Dr. Greene and Mrs. Greene, of Tokio, Japan, passengers in transit on the Helgic, bound to Japan. Dr. Greene is one of the oldest missionaries now in the field, having begun labor there 1869. At an informal gathering of a few friends at Mr. F. W. Damon's, just before re-embarking, Dr. Greene made a number of interesting statements respecting the work in Japan, many"of them in reply to questions, some of Avhich we here Backward the tide of my memory sweeps, To days when I dwelt in an alien land; In fancy I gaze on its sapphirine deeps, And wander again on its golden strand, 'Neath the shade of the palm tree's feathery plumes, And the sheen of orange and jasmine blooms. I hear the sound of an anthem sublime, Sung by the waves of an amethyst sea, And the odors of blooms from a far-off clime, Are wafted across the waters to me; I feel the soft kisses of breezes blown On languorous wings from the torrid zone. I catch the gleam of an opaline veil, Enfolding the mountain's verdant breast, Caught up on the wings of a gentle gale, And borne away o'er the lustrous crest; Which Waialeale thrusts far on high, Piercing the deeps of a violet sky. I see through the thin diaphanous haze The silvery flash df the waterfalls, O'erhung by the rainbow's shimmering rays, As they downward leap o'er the shining walls Into the valley's green glistening deeps, Where the somnolent river sighs and sleeps. A lazy and languid river that lies, In a gleaming border of gold and green, Mirroring backward the blue of the skies, And broken the shadows of emerald sheen, Where its waters lap the quivering reeds And bare the roots of the indolent weeds. Dear vale at the feet of the flashing cascades, O wilderness sweet ofall blossoming things ! Moss-cushioned rocks and evergreen glades, Where butterflies hover on gossamer wings, A long farewell! I shall wander no more 'Neath the palm tree crowns by the sunkissed shore. Memories dear that have haunted me long. Shall yet burn bright in the after-glow, In cadence sweet I shall hear the song, Where murmuring waters drowsily flow, And I'll feel the breath of the sweet perfumes, And the incense born of odorous blooms. Chaki.es 11. Ewakt. Dalbeattie, Scotland. 10th February, 1890. Kawaiahao Girls' Concert. note. About five per cent, of the Christian converts belong to the highest classes. cent, of the members of the Parliament about to convene are avowed Christians; the percentage of Christians in the Empire being not one fourth as great. •These facts show how Christianity finds especial favor among the abltr and more intelligent people. There is reason to believe that the call for foreign Christian workers in Japan will come to an end in fifteen or twenty years. The people are very independent, and intend to manage their churches themselves. The foreign missionary there exercises no authority, he is only a counselor and elder brother. The great Doshisha College which is a creation of Congregational Christianity under the lamented Joseph Neesima, is in high favor. Three Cabinet ministers have subscribed one thousand dollars each. Dr. Greene while away fram Japan, became deeply impressed with the great amount of influence which Japanese thought was exerting upon all Christendom; not only in respect to aitistic matters. He considers the standard of Theological Education in Japan as very high. With the exception of Hebrew and'Greek, it is higher than in New England Seminaries twenty years ago. Many of the native professors are very highly educated. In Dr. Greene's company was a very interesting gentleman of high culture. Mr. Nakashima, Ph. D. who was returning to Japan to occupy a professorship, after eleven years study at Vale and in Germany. Dr. Greene heartily welcomes to Japan Rev. Mr. Noyes, and wishes that Mr. Covell would come. He does not seem to be in accord \% ith the extreme conservatism of the Prudential Committee, although his venerated father was so long one of the Secretaries, with Anderson and Evarts. He expressed great regret at the failure to accomplish the attempted union of the Congregationalist and Presbyterian Churches in Japan. Our friend re-embarked at 4 p. m. Tv?o per This concert, announced in our last issue, was most successfully executed on the evening of Saturday, the 15th ult. The large church was filled above and beloAv, mainly by Hawaiians, but with a large attendance of foreigners, who were well pleased Avith the performance.

Gilbert Island News. The Trip of the Missionary Barkentine Morning Star Measles Break Out on Board. By Avay of Sydney letters have come from the Hawaiian missionaries in the Gilbert Islands. The Morning Star on reaching Tapiteuea found Mrs. Paaluhi so sicC that it Avas thought hest sheshould come up to Honolulu Avith her husband for medical care. Drunkenness, licentiousness and quarreling seem to be rampant on that island. Very feAv stand out for truth and righteousness and soberness. At Nonouti, Rev. A. C. Walkup Avas taken on hoard. He has been on that island four months, and has done good work. The Gilbert Island Catechist Te Hona had been clubbed over the head by some of the adhererents of the Catholic priests. One of the priests had been taken away on board a French man-of-war to another island south of the equator, under care of the English (Samoan) mission, but was not making an}' headway. At Apaian, Avhere they arrived Christmas Day, Rev. M. Lutera and wife were holding a school exhibition. From their select school they had chosen nine for teachers, and established branch schools on other parts of the island.

The regular monthly meeting for business was held Thursday evening, March 20th, with President Waterhouse in the chair. The meeting was fairly well attended, although we missed several of the older and more prominent members who were detained by sickness, absence from the city, etc.; but the increased number of younger members present was encouraging. The reports of the several regular committees showed progress in all departments. The Treasurer's report showed a balance on hand of $538.56. Five new names were added to the membership roll. A committee consisting of F. J. Lowrey, W. A. Bowen and S. D. Fuller were appointed to prepare a list of names {or ofticers to be voted on at the next monthly meeting, April 17th, which will also be the annual meeting to elect ofticers for the following year. The prevailing intemperance in our city at the present time Avas earnestly discussed and a committee appointed to further consider the matter, gather data and prepare for some practical efforts in the way of improved legislation at the coming session. H. W. Peck, C. L. Carter and G. P. Castle compose the committee and they have already set about their Avork in real earnest. Social. On Tuesday evening, April 18th, our hall was the scene of a very pleasant and thoroughly enjoyed social gathering. The committee planned to make the social featurv the leading one of the evening, that the members and friends of the" Association might become acquainted with the numerous young men who have recently cotrie to the city, and that they might become better acquainted among themselves. Social tastes vary considerably, and some of our members found other attractions more congenial, yet a good number were present, and all united heartily in making it a most enjoyable and profitable evening. The programme was not long, but excellent in qualify, consisting of a piano solo by Miss A. N. Hathaway, a song by Mr. D. G. Morgan, two recitations by Mrs. F. O. Barto, and a quartette by Misses Hight and Atherton and Messrs. Lyman and Richards. Some remarks were made by Mr. F. J. Lowrey, chair.

THE FRIEND.

At the New Orleans Exposition, they made an astonishing exhibit of their work, and even of their inventions. They edit, own, and manage over a hundred newspapers, and succeed in the higher occupations as the white man does. As an illustration of the capacity of the negro under proper training, to conduct large industrial, financial, and educational enterprises, let me give some facts in the history of the well known Normal and Industrial School at Tuskegee, Alabama, which is wholly managed and taught by negroes, mostly graduates of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, and which is the brightest jewel in her crown. Well may Hawaii be proud of the work of her distinguished son, Gen. S. C. Armstrong, who has repaid with large interest the debt she owed to the United States for his eminent father's missionary and While reckless politicians continue to use the "negro question" as a party war cry, the thoughtful and well informed classes of both the Northern and Southern States are becQining more and more satisfied that the only feasible and satisfactory solution of the problem is to be found in the education of the "race. Col. J. M. Keating, an ex-Confederate officer, an ardent Democrat, editor and proprietor of the Memphis Appeal says: "This work of education lights up the otherwise dark horizon, and proves, that while brutes of both races may indulge their savage propensities, the mass of the white people of the South know what is their duty to the negro and mean to pursue it; it is to educate and christianize him, to train him..for the battle of life, to make him worthy of his freedom, to put tools in his hand and educate him in their right and facile use. They realize the benefits of education for the negro, and are willing, as they increase their fortunes, to increase the public services.

I fear many of our college graduates of the Caucasian racewouid have lost courage in theface of such obstacle —not so Washington. He found that the negroes were ignorant and poverty-stricken, without ambition, either for themselves or their children, and that the whites felt little interest in their improvement and no faith in their capacity. Calling a meeting of the negroes in one of their churches, he set before them eloquently and forcibly the advantages of education for their children, told.them of Hampton and its work, and appealed to them for aid and encouragement in his effort to establish a Normal School for their benefit. The negroes were roused to a new interest in schools, and the church was opened to him for a beginning of his work. He began with a dozen pupils, all of whom had been teachers in the state schools, though many of them had never been to school themselves and were conscious of their utter incompetency. They were full of zeal, however, and anxious to qualify themselves for their chosen work. He found, however, that they were all without means, as well as without qualifications, and that after attending school for a' few weeks, they were compelled to leave in order to earn money to pay their expenses. As this spasmodic attendance rendered good work impossible, Mr. Washington decided that an Industrial School like Hampton, which afforded pupils the means of paying their way by their earnings was in dispensable. An abandoned plantation was for gale on very low terms. The mansion house had been burned, but the stables and negro quarters were standing. Washington borrowed money of a Hampton friend [to make the first payment, and General J. F. B.Marshall himself—Ed] bought the place, got tools and set the boys at work to cultivate the ground. In the summer vacation, he went North and with eloquent representation ofthe needs and the great opportunity, raised money to pay for the land, and meet necessary expenses ofbuilding, etc., and the school was fairly launched on its career of usefulness. To-day, this now famous school has within its greatly enlarged borders, nearly four hundred pupils. Various industries have been established, among which are blacksmith, carpenter and other shops; an excellent printing office, with outside patronage whenever extra good work is required; large and convenient school buildings for classes, industrial and boarding needs; a large barn of two stones, with all modern conveniences; a steam saw-mill and a brick yard, where all the lumber and bricks needed for the buildings are manufactured with a ready sale for the surplus; a well-cultivated farm, while the laundry, cooking school and sewing departments �34 and garden furnish employment and training for the girls. The property of the school, in lands, houses, implements, .furniture, library, etc., is valued at over one hundred thousand dollars, and is free from debt. All the buildings, which are substantially constructed of wood or brick, are put up by the students, who saw the logs, make and lay the bricks, even making the plans, plaster, paint and finish the houses, and make most of the furniture, and the work is don; thoroughly and well. As the school rapidly increased in numbers and the scope of its work enlarged, its friends began to fear lest the young and enterprising Principal had undertaken more than he could successfully achieve, and from time to time officers of the parent school at Hampton visited it to investigate its methods and workings. As the treasurer of Hampton Institute, I was the first to visit Tuskegee, to inspect its financial management, and its book keeping methods. I found my former clerk Warren Logan, who had been trained in my office at Hampton, and had been appointed treasurer of the Tuskegee School, accurate and methodical in his accounts, and the whole work of the school going on admirably. Miss Mackie, the head of the Academic department of Hampton, and Lady Principal of the school, after visiting some half dozen of the prominent colored Normal Schools of the South, taught by whites, inspected the Tuskegee School, and found it in all respects above the average in itsacademic department. Gen. Armstrong, Mr. Howe, our Superintendent of Industries and farms, Rev. Mr. Frissell, our chaplain, and Miss Ludlow, teacher and editor of the Southern Workman, successively visited this school established and managed wholly by negroes, and all were surprised at the high standard of excellence and the "great Avork which in a few years had been accomplished. There is no rest for these busy and devoted workers. The vacations of the officers are taken up either in the wearing work of collecting funds at the North for school needs or in other duties.

Stanley's discovery of the basin of the River Congo. On his last tremendous campaign, however, through Africa's central forest, he made one grand discovery, which is of consummate interest. He has at last, beyond a doubt, found the veritable "Mountains of the Moon" of the ancient Geographies, which were at the sources of the Nile, but whose location had hitherto eluded the explorers. They lie in the hitherto unvisited wilderness between the Lakes Muta Nzige and Victoria Nyanza, and the waters oftheir vast snowy range flow into the Nile. The greatest of these mountains is 18,000 feet in height. Like others of the mountain monarchs, Dhawalageri, Illimani, Popocatapetl, Kilimanjaro, its name is polysyllabic and rhythmical Ruwen-zori. — 3 The Friend.

How vast a toil—how mighty a conquest is yet to be achieved for her spiritual redemption. An Abortive Conspiracy. It appears to be true that two weeks since, plan's were concerted for a night surprise and capture of the persons of the Ministers, and of the Station House where the Government arms are kept. This was with the intent of inducing the King to restore the old order of things and appoint the chief conspirators to power. The plan failed for lack of adequate support before the Government got wind of it. We consider it certain that the influential leaders of the opposition have no disposition to employ other than constitutional and lawful means. The motive for the conspiracy is believed to have originated in influences outside of the Kingdom. We think it improbable that the King was privy to. it. The whole affair has served to prove the strength of the elements in favor of Law and Order. Bunyan and Mandeville. Did Bunyan borrow from Mandeville, in his wonderful description of the Valley of the Shadow of Death ? Sir John Mandeville, two hundred and fifty years earlier, had written as follows : "In the center of this valley, under a rock, sits a devil, terrible to look at, of whom can only be seen the head and shoulders. Out of him cometh such smoke, such flames, and such a stench, that no man may endure it. But good Christians, who are strong in faith, may pass him without peril; for they make their confession first and sign themselves with the sign of the cross, so that the devils have no power over them. But though they are safe from danger, they are not safe from fear when they see devils all around them in the air and on the earth, mocking them, threatening them, and terrifying them by fierce blasts and peals of thunder. * * * and in this valley I saw a multitude of dead bodies as if there had been a battle between two powerful kings, and the greater part of theirarmies had perished."

The author of this little book has lived in these, and visited otherislands of the Pacific. These poems are largely concerned with other parts of the world; but some of them are richly redolent of Pacific lands and seas, where "The long white rollers, beating on the reef Made deep, wild music; and the landward breeze Breathing so low as scarce to stir a leaf Bore the long boom back o'er the sleeping seas; And from each peak (high clothed in deepest green, E'en to the summit) there did always flash, Swift leaping streams of purest silver sheen." There are songs of battle by sea and by land, full offire and dash: Thereare songs of the chase, of the voyage, of Australian bush, Nevada canyon, and Scottish heather. There are tributes to Gordon and Garibaldi, and the ill fated Prince Imperial. There are warm words of denunciation for the mal-treatment of islanders by civilized visitors. One ballad on "Blackbirding" is a most vigoroj ; poetical expose of the kidnapping of islanders, now we believe? suppressed. This poet writes with warmth of heart, with worthy aspiration, with worship of the noble and worthy, and scorn of the base and inhuman. The rhythm and melody are of high order. The wordpicturing is good. In another column we gjve one of the rich spiritual songs in this book. The poems are all short. The book as a whole, is entertaining, not less than uplifting and inspiring. The "Hale-o Keawe," at Honaunau, Hawaii. (From the Maile VVreath.) The "Hale o Keawe" or "house of Keawe", was a kind of mausoleum for the departed kings and princes of Hawaii. It was situated on a rocky point, south of Honaunau Bay, three or four miles south of Kealakekua, adjoining the famous City of Refuge or "Puuhonua on the north. It was said to have been built by Kanuha, a son of Keawe 11, king of Hawaii, probably before the year 1700 A.D. for the safe keeping of the deified bones of hisfather and those ofhis descendants. So great was its sanctity that it remained undisturbed for nearly ten years after the abolition of idolatry, and the general destruction of idol temples in 1819. the front and at each end about 24 feet wide. A number of hideous wooden images were placed at intervals on the fence all around, and at the south-east end of the enclosure twelve of them were ranged in a semi-circle in grim array, "as if perpetual guardians of the mighty dead reposing in the adjoining tomb". They stood on pedestals from three to ten feet in height, the chief deity being in the centre. A large pile of decaying offerings lay before each of the images. Mr. Ellis and his companions were refused admittance within the house, and were told that it was kapu lon. On peeping in they saw a row of images, some of wood elaborately carved, and others of wicker work covered with red feathers, with gaping mouth lined with sharks' teeth, and mother-of-pearl eyes. Under their powerful protection lay numerous bundles of human bones (unihipili), tied up with sennit made of cocoanut fibre, and decorated with red feathers, together with rich shawls and other valuable articles. As we learn from a memorandum made by Mr. Chamberlain, "At the setting of every post and the placing of every rafter, and at the thatching of every "wa" (or intervening space), a human sacrifice had been offered." Human sacrifices had also been offered for each chief whose remains were deposited there, at each stage of the process of consecration, viz.; at the removal of the flesh, at the putting up of the bones, at the putting on of the tapa, at the winding on of the sennit, etc. VISIT OF THE "BLONDE". Two years later, in July 1825, Lord Byron and the other officers of the British frigate Blonde (which had brought back the remains of Liholiho and his queen from England), visited the place, accompanied by Kuakini, alias Gov. Adams, and Naihe. The artist, Mr. Dampier, made a drawing of the sanctuary, an engraving from which was published in the report of the voyage. This picture and their description of the place agree very closely with those made by Mr. Ellis. By the order of Kaahumanu and Kalanimoku, the officers of the Blonde were allowed to remove nearly all of the idols and some of the other relics deposited in the house of Keawe, and they are probably now in England. May, 1890 affected and shed tears, but her husband was stern and silent. A few months later, Kaahumanu visited Kapiolani, and resolved to put an end to the superstitions connected with the place. By their orders the venerated deified bones were removed, deposited in two large coffins, and interred in a secret cave at Kaawaloa, where they remained for more than thirty years. Mr. Chamberlain made a list of the names of the twenty-three chiefs, whose bones were then removed, and stated that five or six more were brought over from the sacred "house of Liloa" in Waipio. The house and ferice were entirely demolished, and the sacred Kauila rafters were used in building a government house on the site of Hackfeld & Co.'s building, which was therefore called "Ka hale kauila". REMOVAL OF THE BONES TO HONOLULU. In January 1858 Kamehameha IV., accompanied by a numerous retinue, made a tour of the windward islands in the British sloop-of-war, Vixen, Captain Meacham, arriving at Kaawaloa January 24th, 1858. On the following night the venerable kahu or guardian of the secret burial cave, was ordered to remove the stones that concealed the entrance. The coffins were then brought out by torch-light, and carried on board of»the man-of-war, which brought them to Honolulu, where they were consigned to the care of Gov. Kekuanaoa. No account of this transaction, as far as I know, has ever appeared in print. The Vixen with the royal party on board arrived in Honolulu February 12th, and Captain Meacham died on the 17th, after an illness of only three days. It was universally believed by the natives that his death was caused by the displeasure of the akuas or departed spirits, whose mortal remains had been disturbed. After the completion of the present Mausoleum in Nuuanu, on the night of October 30th, 1865, the coffins of the former royal personages of Hawaii nei, including those brought from Kaawaloa, were removed to it in an imposing torchlight procession. It is to be hoped that their repose will not be disturbed again. "Requiescant in pace!" W. D. A.

Vale College, founded nearly two centuries ago under the shadow of a faithful church by a band of educated Puritan ministers, in the process of its expansion to a great university of 1,500 students, has not by any means lost sight of its original aim to develop the highest type of character, and make the most useful men, and- deeming moral and religious instruction, essential to the development of such tharacter and such manhood, it has always made provision for such instruction. With the growth of the times and its Own ever-widening sphere of influence, it has grown in its spiritual conceptions and in the methods of best meeting its responsibilities in this direction. Becoming increasingly cosmopolitan and receiving within its unsectarian walls, students of every clime and every creed, it has wisely abstained from imposing any creed even the broadest on any one, yet at the same time it has taught, both by precept and example a high morality and simple spirituality. In the development of the intellect it has by no means forgotten the needs of the soul. One of the most encouraging indications of university education in this rationalistic age w is the recent founding at Vale of a Chair of Biblical Study, so that the Bible as a classic, as a great historical factor in the growth of the world, may stand on the. same plane of advantage as the great works of Greek and Roman Literature. And this Chair is by no means a sinecure. It is worthily filled by one of the ablest and most enthusiastic of American Biblical scholars, who adds to his scholarship the rare ability of successfully imparting his knowledge, and awakening the enthusiasm of his students. The classes in English Bible study quickly filled up to overflowing, and now number in the neighborhood of 500, and it is intelligent study, not child's play. Besides this there are large classes in Messianic prophecy, both in the English Bible and the original Hebrew and a course oflectures on the Hebrew Psalter, a course so popular that it is difficult to procure seats, though they are delivered in the largest Hall in the University. In each of these courses, if I may speak from my own experience, there has been a wonderful revivifying of the old passages familiar from childhood, yet never known nor understood in half their force and meaning. Such interpretation commarrds respect for the Bible and whets anew the edge of the weapons of Truth, which for most of us are apt to grow a little dull. In the midst of the University buildings stands a commodious and richly appointed Chapel where devotional exercises are held every morning, con- THE FRIEND: President Dwight, attendance on which is compulsory. On Sunday a preaching service is conducted by the same Divine, or by sonic distinguished preacher from New York or other adjoining city, the object being to present Christ and His teachings in a fresh, living and powerful form, so that they may appeal to the manly and receptive minds of intelligent y6uth. From timeto time prominent and successful Evangelists are secured, who speak to crowded audiences with great effect. The term Chapel may in a sense be misleading, for it is not a chapel but a thoroughly organized Church with a very considerable permanent member ship of the faculty and their families, into which any of the students are received as to a Spiritual home. The pastoral care extends to the whole College, and a spirit of personal interest and personal contact is fostered which does much to obviate the dangers of CoHege life. One of the most interesting and helpful developments of recent years in connection with the university is the organization and means of effectiveness of the Y. M. C. A. Wealthy friends have erected and equipped what is known as Dwight Hall, one of the finest buildings on the whole campus where every legitimate want of-Y. M. C. A. work is supplied. Richly appointed reading rooms and library, class prayer-meeting rooms comfortably fitted with fire-places, easy chairs, rich windows, etc., and a large convocation Hall with organ, etc., fitted •for the large prayer-meetings and lectures that form a part of the work and advantages of the association; these are some of the privileges that may be en-, joyed by any member of the University. In the matter of the City Mission Work the Divinity School naturally takes the lead. In various parts of the city, notably in the poorer, more crowded and criminal sections, active and effective missions are being conducted with a view to elevating and redeerqing the people socially, intellectually and morally. For this purpose meetings are held every evening in the week, partly religious, partly instructive and partly to furnish recreation. Out of these missions churches are developed in due time, which become veritable oases in the desert, and which serve as almost the only salutary agency in those neg- 35 Volume 48, No. 5.] tion, and needs. Among others Polynesia is not forgotten, "your humble servant," by virtue of childhood acquaintance -with the Isles of the Sea, being chosen leader of it. The immediate result of the formation of these bands, as might have been predicted, is an increased number of applications to the American Board for commissions to the foreign field, and the remote result will be a wide-spread interest and know- ledge concerning foreignmissionsamong the churches under the guidance of those who remain in the Home field. This brief statement of facts may serve as a suflicent answer to the insinuation contained in the current phrase "Vale Rationalism". —J. M. Lydgate. Customs Report for 1890.

On the evening of Friday; April 11th, a large company of neighbors and friends were assembled at the residence of Rev. Hiram Bingham, "Gilbertina," at Punahou, to congratulate him on his completion of the translation of the Bible into the language of the Gilbert Islands, a work begun more than thirty years ago. The members of the Hawaiian Board, some twelve in number, occupied Mr. Bingham's study, together with Mr. 8.. and his assistants in the work. In the parlor adjoining together with the verandah, were assembled the remainder of the guests, over fifty in number. Mr. Bingham had that morning translated the last verse of Malachi, in the presence of the Committee on Publications, assisted by his native Pandit, Moses Kaureand his wife, and especially by Mrs. Bingham, who has discussed every verse of the translation with her husband. Photographs of the group were taken, in pleasant perpetuation of the scene of the completion of the great undertaking which Mr. Bingham spoke of as having been "the dream of his youth." At about 8 o'clock, Rev. Dr. Hyde opened the exercises of the evening by reading a historical statement written by Mr. Bingham. It appears that he had completed the New Testament in 1873, having begun it in 1859, meantime suffering serious interruptions from prostration of health. In 1883 he began the translation of the Old Testament, from the original Hebrew, as required by the Bible Society. In this, he has been assisted by Moses Kaure, a native of Tarawa, captured in childhood by the people of Apaiang from a raid of marauding savages, and with his wife, educated in Mr. B.s household at Apaiang.' Three copies of the Old Testament in Mr. Kaure's manuscript were exhibited, in excellent chirography, written primarily from dictation. About one half of the Old Testament was printed and put into the hands of the people, prior to 1887, when' a long interruption from sickness occurred. The remaining half has been translated during the past two years, with the increased facility acquired by the workers. In all this work Mrs. Bingham has been a mainstay, being as her husband stated, a "born linguist," and accomplished in Greek and Hawaiian, as well "as in the Gilbert language. With such an efficient aid, the three hours each day which was all that the state of tbjp translator's eyes would permit, have sufficed for the completion of the task. We presume that other hours were occupied THE FRIEND. with thought and discussion of doubtful expressions. It has been our privilege to share occasionally in such a discussion, and we have been deeply impressed with the high and accurate scholarship of the two chief workers, noting also the superior facilities enjoyed in the way of commentaries and versions, as we thought how we used to see Fathers Bingham and Bishop work some fiftyfivo years ago, mainly with the help of a Latin Rosenmueller, alongside of the Hebrew Bible. We are certain that the Gilbert Bible is a version of rare accuracy and precision. After the historical statement, Mr.( Bingham formally donated to the Hawaiian Board as trustees, a Hxwaiian Government Bond of one thousand dollars, the six per cent, interest of the same to be used by them-to promote the distribution and sale of the Bible to the people of the Gilbert Islands. This Bund represents the accumulated interest in Savings Bank of the sum of two hundred dollars presented as a personal gift some twenty years ago to Mr. and Mrs. B. by English traders who had married native wives educated in the Bingham household. This money has certainly not been "buried in a napkin." Congratulatory Resolutions were then voted by the Board, together with a formal acceptance of the trust, and approval of the disposition of the three manuscripts of the half of the O. T., one to Moses Kaure, one to Mr. Bingham for the press, and one to be deposited with the Board, in case of accident. Short addresses followed from the President of the Board, Hon. A. F. Judd, and from Mr. T. Rain Walker, British Vice-Consul, as a leading member of the Anglican Church. Justice L. McCully then made a longer address of much felicity, closing with the presentation in behalf of a number of friends, to Mr. Bingham, of a valuable gold watch and chain with suitable inscription, to MrS. Bingham of a brooch with gold bible pendant, and to Mr. and Mrs. Kaure, of a small purse of gold. These gifts were totally unexpected by the recipients, and will be to them a visible token of the donors' sympathy in the completion of their great task. The thankful mood of the assembly voiced itself in "Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow." Ice cream and cake were then enjoyed, and the company parted, after a delightful evening. It has very rarely been the task of any one man himself to accomplish the translation of the entire Bible. Of the Versions made in hundreds of pagan languages, the work has usually been shared by several persons, as it was in Hawaii, sixty years ago. We believe that it has not been often that more or better work has been put into such a translation than by our accomplished friends the Binghams. We need not here speak of their twenty years heroic endurance of hardship and peril among the heathen. I iiidyf i ■ .. Mrs. Rebecca Howard Hitchcock. IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Hitchcock, nee Rebecca Howard, was born at Owasco, Cayuga Co., N. V., Dec. 2, 180*; was married Aug. 26, 1831, to Rev. Harvey Rexford Hitchcock, and embarked with him at New Bedford Nov. 26, 1831, on the Averick, in company with Messrs. Alexander, Armstrong and others, of which large company Mrs. Armstrong, now in California, is the last survivor. Mr. and Mrs. H. were soon stationed on Molokai, where they lived and wrought a great work, until Mr. Hitchcock's death Aug. 29, 1855. For many years Mrs. H. has lived at Hilo, the residence of her sons, Judge David H. Hitchcock, Mr. Edw. G. Hitchcock, Sheriff of Hawaii, and latterly, Prof. H. R. Hitchcock, late principal of Lahainaluna Seminary. During her twenty-three years of very active and toilsome service on Molokai, Mrs. Hitchcock was a great power among the people for their conversion to Christ and for their mosal elevation. Her personal influence with the women throughout the island was something very exMr. and Mrs. H. were traordinary. favored by the absence from their field of most of those adverse foreign influences which neutralized so much of the labors of others. But much of their peculiar success must be imputed to a special personal magnetism, allied to an affectionate and tireless zeal for the people's good. During her later life, dear "Grandma' " I litchcock has been marked for her benignant presence, and affectionate kindness of spirit, as well as zeal for the Lord's work and cause. From time to time she has been a most welcome guest in our Honolulu homes, as one who brought with her a gracious and cheering spiritual atmosphere. She passed away in the presence of her sons and their wives. A large circle of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren gathered to lay her mortal remains to rest in Halai Hill Cemetery, in proximity to those of Fathers and Mothers Lyman and Coan. The bee is our example, for she builds house, but fetches all the material from abroad, and it is from the flowers of the garden and not from herself that she procures the honey with which she stores her cells. True believers get all the substance and sweetness of their hopes from the flowers of the promises, and dare not live upon themselves or anything that they can do or be.—C. H. a Spurgeon. �A New Sailor's Home. Steps have been taken by the Trustees of the Sailor's Home for the erection of a new building, in place of the old one which was removed some three years ago. The new lot on the Esplanade granted by the government in exchange was accepted. About fifteen thousand dollars are now in the hands of the Trustees. Some five thousand more will be required for the building. On April 2'2d, about forty-five ladies of the city met at Y. M. C. A. Hall, and_were addressed by Mr. F. W. Damon on the subject of raising money for the furnishing of the new Home. The plan of a Nautical Fair was adopted, and committees appointed, on which are names of prominent ladies of different churches and nationalities. Since the closing of the old Home, the need and usefulness of such an institution has been increasingly felt. The object is one which needs no urgent commendation to our citizens. It has long been established in the public mind as. one of our most useful lines of bene- ficence. Rev. C. W. Sherman (Meth. Ep.) who has sojourned among us for some two years, took passage with Mrs. Sher*man by the last steamer for Australia, where they purpose for a while to reside. Mrs. Sherman received tokens of appreciation from her large class of ladies in painting. Mr. Sherman, though in impaired health from a wound at Port Hudson (the "Dark Brigade" battle) has done some excellent work here for Chinese and seamen. Mr. Sayford. This gentleman is expected to land among us to-morrow, to hold evangelistic meetings here, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. In anticipation.of his arrival, we would extend to him a most earnest welcome. But this word welcome covers a very small part of what we feel of desire and hope. From what little we have heard, we believe that he possesses a good degree of that rare and divine gift of kindling in other souls the heavenly flame. May Christian souls here welcome him with earnest longing for the Power of the Divine Spirit; with hearts gladly open to receive the Heavenly impartation; and with eager willingness to put away all that might hinder or repress.

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 invite all our friends who are in- terested in native work to call and get some of our new Hawaiian publications. We not only have the cheapest and handiest Hawaiian Bibles ever published; there is also a booklet for Sabbath School use containing the Sunday School lessons for the year with opening exercise, responsive.reading, the ten commandments, Lord's prayer, Apostles creed, a short memoir of father Lyons and other matter. We also have Mr. Moody's celebrated sermon on"The Blood", translated into Hawaiian, and the Call of Jesus the Saviour (Leo Kahea o lesu ka Hoola), a Wall tract or silent comforter, with twelve leaves, 12x18 inches. We also have a small invoice of English Bibles (at low price) and tracts, of which we soon hope to have a larger selection. Letter from Capt. Garland. Ponape, Feb. 10th, 1890. Rev. O. P. Emerson. Dear Sir: As Mr. Walkup is about to sail for California I will drop you a few lines by him. We are upto time so far, but it is hard work bodily and mentally. On the one hand, I've been obliged to be Captain and Second Mate; on the other, the Missionaries are so anxious for the Star to do their work that it is hard to face them and stick to the plan of a shortened voyage. As I just wrote Dr. Smith (Sec), it is hard work running a sailing vessel on time. A steamship would be a different thing. We found Mr. Walkup on Nonouti where we landed him four months before. I have already written about the measles and quarantine. Mr. Walkup only went ashore once after leaving Apaiang until we reached Kusaie. Messrs. Lutera and Paaluhi and families are coming home with us. Mr. Mahoe (Del.) and son are well. I like Mr. Mahoe very much. He makes the round trip, but the others remain on Kusaie while we are at the west. I cannot say whether you will see us May sth or not, but hope so. At Dr. Pease's request I went west before doing his work (in Marshall group) and he does not ask us to return to Ku- 39 THE FRIEND. saie from the Marshalls. We sail from there to Honolulu. He will not go through the group with us. Mr. Forbes died on Kusaie Oct. 27th. I think Mrs. Forbes will not come up this year, but will remain on Kusaie. You may say to the Star committee that there \vill be quite a bill for sails and boiler work before another voyage. Our engineer pronounces one boiler unsafe, and bits of sails may be flying yet, for the last we saw of them they were going to leeward at about fifteen knots an hour. Grass don't Jiave time to grow on the ship this voyage. To-morrow we start with Mr. Doane to do his work. At the west we found Mrs. Logan unwell; I judge that her trouble is caused by nervousness, the natives act so. Mr. and Mrs. Snelling are both well. Both Mr. Doane and Miss Palmer ought to come home at once. But I must close for now. Yours truly, G. F. Garland. I fear, to be crushed between the upper and nether mill-stones of a conscienceless commerce. Here is our danger. The past year has been one of toil by day and by night, visiting different parts of the island. And this is the missionary work of the island; it takes preceedence of all. The churches need often to be visited and the individual members prayed with, wanderers looked after. A Ponapean likes to be visited and to be told what to do by his teacher. Generally he has much respect for him. But one pair of hands can't go very far in the work. lam happy to say the Lord has been with us in various places. We have sad news from some of our outlying islands, Mokil, I refer especially to; a leading half-caste is selling liquor; all his influence is for the bad. There is but little spiritual life left in the place—school closed'—the Sabbath dessecrated. As I expect to visit the island soon I shall, no doubt, see and hear much that is painful.

He is the guest of Dr. Hyde; he is still confined to his bed, but seems to be improving. At his age, about 70, it must be regarded as very doubtful whether he will again be able to resume his labors at Ponape, where he began his work 36 years ago. By his removal, and the lamented death of Rev. J. J. Forbes, Po nape is left for the first time in 38 years entirely without a male missionary. Miss Fletcher and Miss Dr. Ingersoll had previously retired, through failure of health, and now Miss Palmer, herself not strong, "holds the fort", alone, maintaining her Girl's Boarding School in che presence of the perhaps not quite unfriendly Spaniards, ("apt. Worth's absence leaves Mr. Snelling the only male white missionary at Ruk. Mrs. Logan's valuable aid is with them. At Kusaie Dr. Pease's strong presence maintains the Marshall Training School, with his noble lady helpers, Misses Little and Smith. Mr. Walkup having left, the Gilbert Training School is suspended. Thus the whole four divisions of Micronesia, together calling for not less than nine ordained men, as their smallest working force, have becoire reduced to two, Messrs. Peascand Snelling. It is difficult to feelthat the American Board are without fault, in suffering such a disastrous depletion of force, Through failure of adequate reinforcements for many years.

Our first work was to gather the teachers and spend five weeks with them visiting the villages and schools, preaching and consulting with the teachers as to methods of work. Then we had a general gathering and church meeting. Some forty candidates wished to join, many of whom had been seekers before our visit; on being thoroughly examined one by one, they were willing to give more diligence to the study of the faith. The September contribution was enormous for a Gilbert Islands congregation 25,000 nuts (SIOO and over).

Prevention is better than cure: moral suasion has been tried for thousands of years; Gospel suasion since the days of Christ; the pledge system has been in operation for over two hundred years; still the demon alcohol claims its victims in greater numbers than ever before. Legal suasion has been tried but very little and in very few places, but its results are so very encouraging and so much in favor of the man and the home, that we desire to see it tried and practiced everywhere, and we strongly recommend that the energies of all believers in temperance be directed in individual work, towards teaching the truths of the Liquor Evil as also the Gospel of Prohibition, and thereby cultivate and develop a sentiment that shall ere long culminate in the enactment of laws that shall abolish the open saloon from fair Hawaii nei. We are not discouraged with the work of the past year, nor with that in prospect, for we know that we are working for the right; the saloon has never saved a soul, it has never provided clothing or food except for its proprietor, it has never made any home happier, nor elevated a man's character; but it has always debased mankind and degraded home. It is evil, evil only and evil continually, and we know that though our efforts and energies may be few and weak, the Lord hears the cry of the broken hearted, and will soon bless with success those labors put forth for the cause of God and Home and Native Land. In our work we need a strong sympathy for the drinker, to enlist his confidence in us; charity for the saloon keeper, who too frequently plies his nefarious trade because of ignorance and wrong training; also pure motives and a strong faith in (iod, that we may "do with our might whatsoever our hands find to do." Thos. S. Southwick, Chairman. Report of the Committee of the Hawaiian Branch. The work at Queen Emma Hall has been continued on the same lines as heretofore. The Blue Ribbon Temperance League has held its regular weekly meetings every Friday evening. But the momentum of Temperance Work among the Hawaiians in this particular style of effort has grown less and less during the past twelve months. The evils of drunkenness, it is true, are not yet made so prominent as to demand public attention and to rouse to new effort for the deliverance of the Hawaiians from this prevalent vice. But these �42 evils are none the less serious and appalling, if not apparent to every one. If some remedy cannot soon be found for these evils, poverty, rreglect, disease, crime and other such personal and social delinquences and disabilities, they will soon attain such dimensions as to be beyond the reach of philanthropic effort to diminish or remove, possibly even beyond the control of government and law. Mr. Berger, our worth}' and peerless band-master, has most kindly arranged for a series of open air concerts to be given in the large open area in front of Queen Emma Hall. Settees will be provided. The hope is cherished that some provision of this kind for the many who need recreation, yet cannot afford the time or the money for such as is furnished by those who cater in other ways to the popular tastes, will be appreciated by increasing numbers in the ample grounds around Queen Emma Hall. The rental has been paid as heretofore by special subscription from a few gentlemen interested in work among the Hawaiians. [May, 1890.

In concluding their report while your committee are thankful that the premises under their charge have been put to such good use, they regret that more has not been done to meet the ever deepening needs of our Hawaiian population. Plans are in contemplation that, it is hoped, will make Queen Emma Hall more and more the centre and source ot varied and widening influences for good in charitable effort for the welfare of the Hawaiians especially, while not unmindful of the increasing need among other nationalities also, of just such an institution as Queen Emma Hall might be made.

Yet something has been done in that line, and 3,148 papers, 474 Magazines, besides numerous tracts have been distributed on shipboard. The Employment Committee have had numerous applicants, representing nearly all shades of worth and worthlessness. Sometimes it has been rather difficult to distinguish between dross and pure metal. As not a few make employment the pretext, when their real aim is to sponge on the Association. In not a few instances, the plea for bread seemed to make the claim urgent and yet one somehow feels that it is not bread in the solid but in the liquid form that is the goal of their endeavor. Notwithstanding this phase of t,he matter, a larger number of upright, worthy young men have applied for work during the past year than during any single year of our previous service, and more have been successfully helped to positions than ever before. The Committee on Entertainment have arranged five socials, one of which included the crews from American and English war ships lying in the harbor, and was a marked success. There have been three free lectures of special interest; the first by Rev. E. G. Porter, of Lexington, Mass.; Subject, "Life in Java." One by (Jen. J. F. B. Marshall; subject, "Hawaii Fifty Years Ago" and one by Mr. Theo. H. Davies; subject, "A Trip Through India." All were well attended. The Invitation and Welcome Committee has done excellent service and contributed much to the success of our entertainments. One or two members deserve special mention for unremitting faithfulness in duty at the Sunday evening services. The Reading Room supplies have not been materially changed and consist of 2 dailies, 38 weeklies, 6 monthlies, and 7 monthly Magazines, making a total of 53, in four different languages. Five of the above are contributed by friends, the -remainder are paid for by the Association. Mrs. B. F. Dillingham has been reelected President of the Y. M. C. A. Boys, and has guided their youthful interests skilfully and well. In this little' organization, the seeds of the future Association are germinating. The Queen Emma Hall Branch seems to conserve interests sufficiently numerous and important to warrant its continuance with hope of still greater usefulness. Our expenses during the past year have been increased considerably by the necessary repairs and improvements which have been made. All the outside woodwork and projecting base of the building has been heavily painted and sanded. Walls and 43 THE FRIEND. ceilings of four rooms on first floor have been painted. New matting laid in all the lower rooms but one. Six new rugs and mats, large and small have been purchased, also new curtains in office and parlor. But the greatest improvement has been effected in the introduction of the electric light into all parts of the building. All this has been done without incurring debt or having any arrears to make up at the end of the year. These improvements, and especially the latter one, conspire to make our rooms as bright, comfortable and attractive a resort for youg men as they could reasonably wish to have placed at their disposal. During the year there have been ten business meetings of the Association, total attendance 190. Eleven meetings of the Board of Directors, total attendance 63. Thirty-five new members have joined, but a larger number have gone away; and this number, increased by those who, for various reasons, have dropped out, leaves our actual membership at about 130. This is a small membership, but quality rates higher than quantity and so our present outlook is one of promise. There is great promise and blessed opportunity in the special evangelical work in which we expect soon to engage led by one of God's honored servants, skilled in the special work for young men, which we have pledged to undertake, and which can be accomplished only as we seek and follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit. May He guide and bless all our efforts during the coming year. Personally and on behalf of the Association I wjsh to return thanks to all the friends who have so kindly and in so many ways given us cheer and help in the past, and ask your forbearance and co-operation in the year's work upon which we now enter. S. D. Fuller, General Secretary. Address of the Retiring President. The silent power of mighty unseen forces around us is something, that in our life, so full of the hurry and rush of human affairs, we are apt not to take the time properly to consider. These forces are around us on every hand, and are so familiar that we lose sight of and fail to appreciate their power. Influences for good or evil are so insidious and imperceptible that we do not notice them until we are amazed at their results. We find these forces in the spiritual world, in literature and in nature. How often do we stop to consider the silent power of the light that gladdens our eyes; or the power that may lie in the water we drink; or the power that may be in the air we breathe; or in the gentle winds that blow? The power of gravitation, of electricity, of heat, of chemical action, and a thousand other influences that are silently working around us every day are familiar to all, but are only slightly understood. The highest example that we have of the influence of a silent power is that which comes to us from the little manger in Bethlehem. The advent of the Messiah Himself was announced silently, and with little notice from men, "for Christ, like the sun, rose in noiseless stillness." The influence of that quiet life on earth has already accomplished what earth's greatest conquerers have failed to do. It has revolutionized society, brought into subjection the hearts of men, and will continue to conquer till "at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of th.ngs in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Christ the Lord." God, with the influence of his Holy Spirit, is using means to perfect His great ends. These means are many and varied in their operation. The Church must always stand at the head; and under the Church, other organizations, which are proving silent powers to accomplish His will. We believe that the power and influence of the Young Men's Christian Association is still in its infancy; that although much has already been accomplished, there are better things yet to be realized. At a recent men s meeting held in Detroit, in response to the question, "How many men present have lecome Christians and have united with some Church through the influence < f this Association?" one fifth of the entne audience arose. What a marvelous agency this is, and what a career of usefulness is before it, when it ■hall have attained its full development. The Young Men's Christian Association in London, generally known as the "parent Association," was organized in 1844, through the efforts of George Williams, an earnest Christian young man twenty-three years of age, and at that time a junior clerk in a large dry goods establishment, of which he has since become the head. There are now 3,788 Associations distributed throughout the world—in North America, and Europe, in Turkey, Syria, India, Ceylon, China, Japan, South America, Hawaii, etc. The first Association in America was organized at Montreal in 1851; the first in the United States at Boston a few months later. The year following, Associations were established at New York, Washington, Buffalo and Baltimore. There are now in the United States and Canada 1,273 Associations with an aggregate membership ofabout 195,000. We can estimate the value of the influence which has already emanated • �from the Young Men's Christian Association, and shall not its influence continueto increase to all future generations? Have not those who have so generously given of their influence and means for the benefit of our beloved institution already been amply repaid for their gener- osity? Let me quote a paragraph written by a business man. "The growth and development of the Young Men's Christian Association is the religious marvel of this century, and its business-like methods, directness of application and its capacity to meet one of the greatest needs of our times, is a marvel of practical wisdom. The Young Men's Christian Association had its beginning in the mind of a Christian business man, and it had its beginning in this country with men of the same kind. Business men have furnished means, advice and aid all through its development, and have given it many a local habitation. The Young Men's Christian Association needs the sympathy and aid of every class in the community to enable it to do its best and most complete work, but it especially commends itself to the generous support of business men. It works directly in the line of their interests by attracting young men to that which is good, and educating them in ways that make them competent and faithful. It helps to give character to the community. The aid of the best and busiest business men is needed to bring to the Association the wise counsel and needed financial support necessary to assure theirincreased efficiency and usefulness." We are entering upon a new year. It is well for us that our mortal life is divided into periods, for their return bids Especially do we us pause a moment. recognize this as year meets year, the old passing out, the new passing in. What have we accomplished in all these twelve months? Nothing compared to what we wish we had. The days have sped so rapidly, we can scarcely believe all have gone. To-night the old year with its varied events is behind us. The past has made an impression on us which will be lasting. Some memories, doubtless, we would gladly blot out. We have failed in some points, but we will take into the new year the sweet assurance of God's guiding love. Let us take for our word for the coming year, "This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

We stand, as the President says, at the meeting of past with coming years. There is a record behind us as an Association of many short-comings and we know not what misdeeds, but a record also of much earnest work in the service of our blessed Lord from the apparent results of which we may derive happiness and new courage. Before us is again a new year for work, a future in which we may profit by the experience and the lessons of time gone by. This meeting marks the completion of 21 years since ten persons met, in an upstairs room of the old Sailors' Home, to enrol themselves as a Young Men's Christian Association in Honolulu. They belonged to various denominational branches of the Christian church, but desired and were able to unite, upon the ground of their common faith, for work together. At the first meeting it was decided if possible to help the Sunday-Schools. At the second, volunteers offered themselves for the maintenance of a Chinese Sunday-School, an outcome, I believe, of the Chinese evening-class which our friend Mr. Dunscombe and others had conducted in connection with the Bethel church. In this retrospect we must always recall the interest in the school which was taken by our late honoured friend, the Rev. Mr. Damon. At the third meeting libraries of 100 volumes each were provided for the SundaySchools of Kawaiahao and Kaumakapili. The fourth meeting resulted in the establishment of a small library and a reading-room at the old Sailors' Home. At this time the Association had increased in number to about 20. At the close of the first year the retiring President, now the Hon. Justice Dole, urged the importance of Christian labour in the direction of the Hawaiian race, with especial reference to their social and domestic condition. In April, 1870, the Association received a kind of recognition by the brotherhood of similar institutions, in the form of a letter from the Editor of the "Association Monthly." In the same year a partially successful effort was made to assist in spreading Christian literature amongst the Chinese in this country. In July, 1870, the Rev. Dr. Damon invited our charge of the last page of the "Friend," which has now been edited, first by a committee of the Association, and then by the General Secretary, for nearly 20 years. In 1870 was first considered the feasibility of raising a separate building for the Association. Twelve years later we were permitted to see the foundationstone laid of the house in which we now meet. One of the most serious duties which have presented themselves was undertaken in 1873, when the importance of Chinese missionary work was eloquently urged by Mr. F. W. Damon, and support 1890. for such an enterprise warmly promised, on behalf of his church, by the Rev. Frank Thompson of Hilo. After many efforts and some disappointments, this work was assisted in 1876 by the arrival of Mr. Sit Moon, a colporteur. Chinese Christianity is now evident amongst us, and not its least notable outcome is a Chinese Y. M. C. Association. This brief review of the early days of the Association is made in order to indicate that the lesson of our past is "work and hope." The years we leave behind us are rich, not only in some visible results, but also in promise for the future, they have, too, been brightened by friendships which the bond of union in God's service has created amongst many of us who might otherwise have never known that our highest and most earnestly sought objects are identical. In the address, to which I have already alluded, of our first President, he spoke of organizations like ours as being the complement of the church system, their aim being to exert earnest influence towards pure religion without prescribing any special denominational means. In support of this I may mention that in February last the annual meeting was held of a Young Men's Christian Association in an English city, an Association so large that the Secretary reported the admission during the year of more than a thousand new members and associates. The meeting was attended by the Bishop of the Diocese, some of the Cathedral Clergy, the late President of the Wesleyan Methodist body in England, and many other clergymen and ministers of different Christian denominations. The President, a man greatly honoured in the north of England and wherever he was known, pointed out that without such organizations as these many young men would be either lost altogether as far as religious influences were concerned, or would be kept apart, and that one of the great benefits of the Association was the bringing together of men of varying religious opinions into Christian felowship. The lines of our work during the coming year, will be mainly suggested by the commitees which have been appointed this evening. Let the lessons of the past afford us encouragement. We may see that what has been so far accomplished is not so much as might have followed more faithful effort, but we must all thank.God for many results with which He has been pleased, sometimes sooner, sometimes later, to reward our endeavours. It is pleasant to be reminded by the address of our retiring President that we are working in common cause with more than 3700 other similar Associations of young men, recruiting grounds all over the world for the army of the cross. May sincere faith, patient hope and pure and constant charity characterize the work of all of us, and may it please �THE FRIEND. our great Lord and Master to direct and ventured to remark that it would be bless their labours and ours for His rather dangerous for me to enter into honour and glory, for the spread of His partnership with so accomplished a deceiver, as it was just possible that he kingdom. might be practising some of his firstThe President here announced the rate lying upon me.

Hasketh Smith in Blackwood, narrates his experiences as a Multazim or Turkish tax-gatherer. He took the office in order to protect the Mt. Carmel colony from official rapacity and extortion. He tells how— One enterprizing multazim came to call upon me to offer his services. He was a most courteous, civil, and polished Syrian —quite a gentleman in his way. Nothing could exceed the grace and suavity of his manner, as he set before me his reasons for warning me that I was doomed to an egregious failure. He told me that the first element of success was a well practised expert ness in the art of lying; and he added with true Oriental courtesy, "No English gentleman isaccomplished in deceit." He then proceeded to suggest that if I would only take him on as a partner, he would carry me prosperously through. I asked him whether he intended to intimate by this that he himself was an adept in the art of which he had spoken. It is impossible to describe the air of self-recommendation with which he rose from his seat, placed his hand upon his heart, and bowing low before me, replied, "Sir, I am a first-rate liar !" I - — tones, "What the Hawajah has just been saying is perfectly true. It is a most culture, his Hebrew patriotism, and his immense force of character would, during his forty years residence in Midian, have acquainted himself with written records of earlier Hebrew family history preserved in the family of Jethro, in addition to those preserved among the Hebrews of Goshen. The book of Genesis may well be taken to be the result of the editing of those ancient records by Moses, under the Divine guidance. All possible doubt of his literate competence to do this, may now be considered at an end. —Collated. Selections. Resolution is the soul of a man's soul. Adversity borrows its sharpest sting from our impatience. A soul at peace with God cannot be greatly disturbed by the world. The man who fears God shall be taught by God in God's own way. What we have once heard, really heard in our best moments, by that let us abide. A holy act strengthens the inward holiness. It is a seed of life growing into more life.

He always hath something to give who is full of charity. So long as we are full of self, we are shocked at the faults of others. That man, having nothing to do, has time to do nothing—and nothing else! Just as you are pleased at finding faults, you are displeased at finding per- fection. It isn't wise to say always all that you think, but it is wise to think carefully over everything you say. Conduct has created character; acts have grown into habits; the lives we have led have left us what we are to-day. "A penny saved is a penny earned." Perhaps so; but a dime wisely spent is worth a dollar earned. The wise spending takes most talent. The cows chew their cud and hold their peace. Many men would be worth more if they gave less bellow and more butter. John Ploughman. Not to apply our principles is to deny them. Graces left idle presently droop. To slight our convictions is to destroy the very germs of faith and feeling. The dividing line between wisdom and folly is so extremely fine that a prudent man will be very careful how he accuses any one but himself of being a — fool. Faith is not assent to any theory of Scripture, or to anything that Scripture contains, or to all that it contains. Faith is not holding to a doctrine, but being held by a person. The filings stick to the magnet, not because they try to stick, but because the steel has captured them. No man has got to the earnest part of the matter, nor to the safe part of it, till he has found out for himself that Christianity does not consist in holding religious opinions that he can let go of, but in being held in the strong embrace of God, who has no intention of letting go of him. Ideas wear out and lose their grip; no man is proof against,dying an atheist or an agnostic till he has been pentecosted. A child's faith as towards his mother is not faith that what his mother says is true; it is faith in his mother; the hiding of himself in the bundle of one life that enwraps them both, so that he lives in the sweep of her inspiration, and grows up toward manhood by the appropriation of personal vigor, wisdom, and sweetness hourly made over to him from her. And that is cast in the same mould at Gospel faith, which is as a cord by which the living Christ holds the living beliver to himself. It is not a rope of idea, nor a shred of sentiment, nor a strand of aspiration, but an ingraft by which we become hid with Christ in God, so that our deeds become divine apocalypses and our lives God's blos- soms. —Q.

A Cover Ewa Plantation H.>n<tubnli Bluffs JJ ***J ***' *** What Amusements Does It Befit Christians to Abstain From? Mr. Sayford has brought this question into prominence. We never knew of a successful Revivalist who did not hold very pronounced opinions on this subject. Revivals do not go well along with dancing parties and theatrical shows. The whole atmosphere of the latter seems to be antagonistic to and subversive of religious enthusiasm, and high spiritual elevation. We think that the private experience of individual Christians will be found to agree in the fact that any free indulgence in exciting pleasures is very unfavorable to communion with God and to the efficient power of the Holy Spirit upon the soul. The two things can not be made to harmonize, any more than a school girl can hold her place in her classes, when she is attending balls and theaters. Indeed, the same is true of about all the serious and earnest work of life in every departmenft Those who apply themselves to such work, and who succeed in it, cannot indulge much in social gayeties. The pursuit of eternal life is the most serious and arduous business that a huIt is man being can engage in. * race—a wrestling—a warfare. Sin and Satan are to be conquered. For this, the most strenuous, steadfast effort, and watchfulness are essential. We cannot play with such a business. The whole power and virtue of the soul must come forth in following after Christ and bearing his cross. It is for this reason that dancing Christians, card-playing, horseracing, theatrical Christians are very unfavorably placed for getting or keeping a place in the heavenly race.

We are called to record the decease of this dear and honored mssionary father, with a very tender personal regard, as well as a profound sense of the irreparable loss suffered by the Fonape mission. Our beloved brother Doane went to his heavenly rest from the house of Rev. Dr. Hyde of this city, on Thursday May 15th, after an illness of nearly three months, the greater part of which time was spent in voyaging upon the Morning Star. Although reaching Honolulu in a very prostrated condition, he seemed to rally a good deal after reaching the comfort and rest of Dr. Hyde's home, and as we expressed the hope in our May issue, appeared likely to improve. The force of his complicated maladies, however, soon reasserted itself and he gradually sank away. He retained consciousness and calmness to the end, full of peace and serenity, with a very loving smile of welcome to each friend. Mr. Doane was within a few days of seventy years of age. He had been thirty-six years in missionary service under the American Board, most of it spent in the Caroline and Marshall Islands, and nearly twenty years of it in the island of Fonape. The last three years had been peculiarly severe and wearing. Especially laborious was the last year, owing to the absence or death of all his associates, until broken down by pressure of work and advancing age, he fell ill in February, while visiting outlying island parishes on the Morning Star. We find Mr. Doane's early record in the following dates: Born at Tompkins- ville, Staten Island, N. V., May 30, 1820. Removing in childhood to the West, he professed religion at Niles, Michigan, in 1839. Fitting for college at Quincy Mission Institute, he graduated at Illinois College, Jacksonville, in 1848, and at Union Theological Semin- ary, N. Y. in 1852; was ordained missionary February 26, 1854; was married May 13, 1854 to Miss Sarah Wells Wilbur. He embarked for the Pacific at Boston, June 4, 1854, arriving at Lahaina, October IV, 1854, and at Ponape, February 6, 1855, where he joined in the labors of the pioneer missionaries Sturges and Gulick. Mr. and Mrs. Doane were located with the Jokoits tribe, where they were when the first Morning Star reached Ponape in the fall of 1857, with the Binghams for the Gilbert Islands. At the General Meeting of the Micronesian Mission, it was decided that Mr. and Mrs. Doane should go with Dr. and Mrs. Pierson to begin work among the Marshall Islanders. They settled on the island of Ebon. In 1859 the Fiersons were obliged to leave. Dr. and Mrs. Gulick took their place for a year, after which the Doanes worked on at Ebon alone. He had a good knowledge ol the Marshall's language, taught, translated and preached in it with all his might. Quite a company of young people, some of them now araonj; the pastors and teachers of the Marshall Islands, were brought to the Savior during these years. The late Dr. Damon, who visited Micronesia in 1801, was full of admiration of the methods of this "model missionary" as he called him. At that time the health of the mother and infant daughter required a change from the very trying climate and diet of the atoll, and with the son, she came to Honolulu, leaving the brave father to toil on alone. The infant rallied after reaching Honolulu, under the loving Care of Miss Ogden, but the young mother failed so rapidly that urgent word was sent by a trading schooner to Mr. Doane. He took passage in the vessel. She touched at Ponape, leaving Mr. Doane to wait till her speedy return from some islands to the West. The vessel was never heard of again. Nor did the dying wife see her husband. She died in February, 1*62, soon followed by an infant a few weeks old. Nor did Mr. Doane learn tiie facts until the arrival of the Star at Ponape in the following summer. Mr. and Mrs. Snow removed from Kusaie to Ebon that year, to continue the Marshall Islands work. Mr. Doane accompanied them, and made his home with them, working for the people another year, until in 1*0:', he joined his two children in Honolulu, going on eventually to the States, In April, 1865, he was married to Miss Clara H. Strong, then of the Fox Lake Seminary in Wisconsin. On their way to California, th.y were wrecked on the Roneador reef, and the Morning Star sailed without them. But undaunted by the wreck and their losses, they pushed urgently forward and sailed from Honolulu in the "Pfiel", making such good time as to reach Ebon before the Star. Mr. and Mrs. Sturges were then alone on Ponape, and it was decided by the Mission that Mr. Doane should go to their help, he having already a knowledge of the language. Mrs. Doane's health compelled her to leave in 1868. She returned in 1871, but left again in 1872, joining her sister Mrs. Davis in Japan in 1873. Mr. Doane followed her thither. He engaged there in English instruction of Japanese Divinity students. Failing health again sent them to America, whence finally Mr. Doane returned alone to Ponape in 1879. He threw himself into the work there with unabated force, touring, helping the native pastors, training teachers and missionaries, translating the Scriptures, and making other books. He was full of zeal in extending the Gospel to the islands beyond, the Mortlocks and Rate, [June. 1890. Mr. Logan's great woik. It was a cherished plan of his, but unfulfilled, to establish a mission in Yap. Early in 18*7 untoward events began, and a period of severe trials to Mr. Doane and his associates, in the occupation of Ponape by a fanatical Spanish governor, with thirty soldiers, some convicts and six Capuchin monks. The succeeding events are fresh in the public recollection. The Protestant mission and churches were violently interfered with, and Mr. Doane, as their leader, first imprisoned on board ship, and then deported to Manila. Through the powerful interposition of the United States, he was promptly restored to his post of labor, where he immediately rendered the most vital service, aided" by Mr. Rand, in healing the breach between the natives and the Spaniards, after the massacre ol the latter by the former. Mr, Doane here earned the unique distinction of having induced the Spanish authorities, after landing 600 troops, to withdraw their forces, without having inflicted any punishment on the natives. No doubt they felt that much was due in reparation to him and to the United States. In all this affair, Mr. Doane's name became ol world-wide note, especially in Catholic Spain itself, where the public journals extolled in the highest terms the Protestant methods of evangelizing and educating the natives. Through the failure of Mr. Rand's health, Mr. Doane had sustained alone the care of the Ponape churches and schools for the last year. In addition to this was the burden of help and sympathy imposed by the absence of Miss Fletcher and Miss Dr. Ingersoll, which had left Miss Palmer alone in the girls' boarding school. The death of Rev. J. J. Forbes removed the only aid in pros pect. With his accustomed courage, Mr. Doane worked to the last of his strength, and fell in the harness. It was only at the last moment that he saw it his duty to leave the field, although Dr. Ingersoll had already declared him to be breaking down. It was too late; after three months of great weakness and suffering, the old hero has gone to his reward. # Mr. Doane possessed a noble and manly nature as his whole aspect and bearing showed. He was genial, of great tenderness and sympathy, of strong attractive force, of large breadth of thought, and of a profound and heroic consecration to the high service of his Lord and King. He genuinely belonged to the class of missionary heroes —men who pursue their toilsome work with a glad and holy courage, loving the souls of the people and the Lord who died to save them. He was faithfully attended through his illness to the last, by Mr. Oldham, who came from Ponape with him, and who has earned the warm regard of Mr. Doane's friends. The funeral was atended at Kawaiahao Church by a large �Volume 48, No. 6.] circle of Christian friends, Messrs. Parker, Emerson, Beckwith, Lowell Smith, Bingham and Bishop participating in the exercises. At the age of 87, Dr. Smith's strong voice filled the church in the accents of a powerful and touching prayer. The honored remains found their last resiing-place in the Mission burial lot by the side of those of the wife and two infant children laid there nearly thirty years ago—most strangely reunited. There remain to mourn for the father, a son in business on the Pacific coast, and a married daughter in Missouri. Extracts from Journal Latter of Mrs. Logan. Morning Star at Nonouti, Aug. 26, iSSp. * * Mr. Forbes went on shore with the boat, and reported the natives a. giving Mr. Walkup a warm reception. Two fine looking young men were all ready to go to Kusaie to the Training School, and were much disappointed to learn that there is to be no school for the Gilbert Islanders at Kusaie this year. It seems sad that no- young man has heard the call to this interesting work. I wonder if we have called loud enough! None of us who saw the bright young man who came with Mr. Walkup to Honolulu from the Training School last year could doubt the power of the Gospel to transform these people from abject and naked heathenism to Christian civilization. * * Sept. 18, between Kusaie and Ruk. 'Miss Palmer with her thirty three girls is much overtaxed, and even then cannot do justice to so great a work. There was an English service on board the Star on Sunday afternoon, and I persuaded Miss Palmer to leave the girls in my care and attend it. She remained on board to dinner, and told tne afterward that it was the first meal she had taken away from home in more than two years. I wonder how many young ladies at home can appreciate such a situation !. There are many things to sadden the heart in the situation at Ponape. There are now SOO foreigners in the Spanish colony, and I believe five Catholic priests. The new religion does not make much headway with the people, but that cannot be said of irreligion and demoralizing influences. * * Our voyage from Ponape to Ruk was speedy. September 20th was the date of our reaching Ruk. .They had heard that we were coming, as Capt. Narrhun was just down from Ponape. It was good to see Mr. S.ielling'looking so well. Of course they gave us a warm welcome. It was Friday afternoon when we arrived, and the Star left us the following Monday. It is not pleasant to have things landed in quite so much of a • 43 THE FRIEND. hurry, as mistakes are liable to be made, too as we are quite a little distance from tjuite a number of our boxes must have the other houses, but nothing has as yet been left on board, or at least we do not occurred to alarm us. The girls all get them. I found work in abundance ready for me. Mr. Snelling had been holding on with seven girls, in the hope of a girls' school. It had been a very difficult matter for him, but he had done wonderfully well. My expectation had been that I would probably live in our old home with Mr. and Mrs. Snelling. Indeed, I had not felt that I could face the thought of living alone until after we had reached Ruk; but it soon came to me that I must have the girls by themselves if I am to do real work for them. Without telling Mr. Snelling my own feeling about it at first, I learned that he felt as I did, that I must have them by themselves, and Miss Smith had come with us from Kusaieon a sort of vacation and health trip which was a great help and satisfaction to me. She felt strongly as Mr. Snelling and I did. So the matter was decided that I was to take the girls up into the Treiber house and commence work with them there. Ir took something more than a week to get things in shape to commence my housekeeping. One little girl was added to our number in the mean time as her step-father had just died, and she was in danger of being lost very speedily unless we could take her. The girls seemed to enter into the situation with much satisfaction,'and were very helpful in the cleaning, moving, etc. Four of them were with us two years ago—the others are newer. I have not yet co umenced regular school work with them, but hope to do so soon. In the mean time they have been learning plenty of lessons not found in books. It has taken much time and thought to get them into anything like regular ways, and of course we have only made a beginning yet, but they seem to take to my plans very kindly. What a help and comfort it would be, if I only had some young lady to he with me, and share the work and care! I do not mean to allow myself to be lonely, and God is helping me. It is a time of considerable stir and distuibance among the heathen just now. Wars and rumors of wars are abundant, and Christians are suffering persecution in having their food, trees, etc., destroyed by the heathen. When a party of them comes about we know that they will steal anything they can get hold of, and we try to act accordingly. Some of them came about while we were gone to the Wednesday prayermeeting the other day. They found nothing to carry away, however, except the dish towels which the girls had left hanging under the veranda, but they took those. Mr. Snelling has felt a little anxious about us nights, I think, as the mission houses were broken into at night last year. Perhaps I have felt a little anxious sleep up stairs, and on the floor of course. It does seem sometimes in the middle of the night as though they do a deal of tumbling about, and occasionally I have to get up and go about in the different rooms to convince myself that no one is trying to break in. Saturday Afternoon, Nov. 16. I do not mean to let so lung a time slip by without writing, but the days have been quite full and I have been trying to do other writing. I have now had five weeks of school with my girls. They seem to enjoy it very much. Wh< n I told them one Saturday that I thought we would commence school the following Monday, there were general exclamations of delight and one of them remarked that she was glad, for her head was aching with so much ignorance. They like to be busy, and one of the difficult parts of my work is to keep them busy and look constantly after their work. We have school four rfours each day, and that with the work to be done outside of school keeps them fairly busy except Saturdays. They like to do things civilized ways for once in a while, but for every day, it is too much care and takes too much thought. We get up at six in the morning, are ready for prayers a little before half-past six usually. Eight o'clock is breakfast time and quarter before ten school time. The girls are learning to wash and iron, sweep, dust, attend to lamps, wash dishes, etc. I sometimes need to be in several places at once. School session is four hours, with fifteen minutes rest at noon. The girls sew after school if there is time after other things are done. Pleasant evenings we work an hour or so in the yard, going out a while before sunset. The yard looks better than when we began. Evening worship is at seven o'clock and the girls generally study half or three-quarters of an hour after. I am learning to write with them buzzing and chattering all about me. I do not often get lonely when it is pleasant weather so that we can be out of doors at evening. I have prayer-meeting with the women Friday afternoons. This is my only outside work except my class in Sunday School. Last Friday after the meeting, I asked the women if they would like to help weed the walk between the mission houses and bring some of the fine coral to put upon it, as it was getting in bad shape. They took hold of the work cheerfully and with energy and an hour's work made it look quite different. When I told them they had done enough and thanked them, they got one of the girls to ask "Wouldn't I like to show them some of the pictures of my friends in America?" I said, surely I would like to, so we spent quite a long time in looking at photographs. Dinner hour was �44 rather late, but it was time well spent. They are always interested in seeing the faces of our friends,"particularly our near relatives. They are always free to criticize the style of dress or hair, or any ornaments. Our trouble with thieves has not grown less. There have been some attempts to break into the house at night, and one evening as we were quietly sitting about the lamp, a man entered the adjoining room, grabbed the spi< from the table and ran. The noise i I falling books from the table was our first warning, as it was raining very hard so that we did not hear him enter. We have had a guard about the house a number of nights, but it has now subsided into two, who sleep under the house every night. It is a dry, good place to sleep and they are probably as well or better off there than at home, so I don't mind, and feel safer and sleep more soundly than I otherwise would. We were warned the other day to keep a lookout daytimes also, as the thieves are s,aid to be planning to see what they can do with stealing during the day if we are to be guarded at night. It gives one a queer feeling to think of having to be on the watch all the time lest something be stolen. The thieves are from some little distance away and are of course purely heathen. We can earnestly hope that such a state of things may not last long, but at present we see no relief before us, as there is no power to which we can appeal. Saturday, Nov. jo. This has been Thanksgiving week at home. My thoughts have turned a good many times to the home friends and the gatherings among them. Such times and thoughts always give one a homesick feeling. We had a meeting with the natives in the morning,- and the Worths and I were invited to dinner at Mr. Snelling's where we ate roast duck and other good things. My girls made their preparations and carried their dinner with them down to Mr. Snelling's. The boys of the Training School and some of the Christians had made some preparations also and they all had dinner together on Mr. Snelling's porch. They all seemed to enjoy it. In the afternoon the natives had a meeting by themselves and we had our meeting, a prayer and conference meeting in Mr. Snelling's sitting room. It was pleasant to recount together our mercies and God's tender dealings with us, to thank Him with full hearts and to supplicate fresh spiritual blessings upon our work here and upon us. Nor did we forget our friends and native land in our prayers. One of the things which has been quite a great work and burden upon Mr. Snelling of late has been the building of a church here, and it is about finished now, a large and substantial building. THE FRIEND. take hold of any such large work steadily and regularly until it is accomplished, but we have always felt it to be much the wiser and better way to have them do such 'work for themselves as best they can and then make the best of it rather than to ask for help from the home land. It has required a good deal of effort and preserverance on Mr. Snelling's part, but he has his reward now. Mr. Sayford's Work. The churches and people of Honolulu have enjoyed a rare privilege in the meetings conducted during the past three weeks by Mr. S. M. Sayford, who came here by the invitation of the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. He has spoken on each Sabbath afternoon and evening, and on every week day evening except Monday. The meetings of the first week were held in Y. M. C. A. Hall. This proving too small, they were held in the church, which has been very crowded on Sunday evenings, and moderately full on week days. Mr. Sayford impresses us as A man of unusual mental and spiritual gifts. Intellectually, he must be ranked high among preachers, in his good sense, keen statement, pointed, effective application and apt use of Scripture, as well as familiar knowledge of it. While resembling Mr. Moody somewhat in these respects, he is unlike him in possessing scholarly culture, although for many years an active business man, before his conversion to Christ. He was a soldier in the late war. If we do not entirely mistake his make up, he would have naturally risen to high command, in good time. He seems like a well-balanced, sound, solid, forceful character. Added to all this, is a profound earnestness. His delivery is very impressive, generally deliberate, usually in those calm, steady, positive tones which for regular work, are so much more effective than a more passionate style. Yet as is fitting, he often pours himself out in tones of fervor. Up to the time of writing the tone of feeling in the audiences has not been adapted to call forth what are probably the Evangelist's deepest and highest moods; there has been a very great interest. The presence of the Power of the Divine Spirit has not been unmanifested. We are all deeply grateful to our Lord for these tokens of his mercy. Many of our young people and some a little older have given evidence of turn- [June, 1890. ing to Christ and finding him. There has not been any ofthat pervading religious engrossment which characterizes a marked revival. Yet we have seen one strong evidence that the community as a whole are somewhat reached—that is—some manifestations of anger and bitterness breaking out in unusual ways, showing that Satan is vexed and disturbed. We think Christians have been much awakened and instructed; —that the spirit of consecration has been quickened—that they are going to work much more heartily and devotedly by reason of what Mr. Sayford has spoken to us. INTE-REST IN KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOL. There has been a very precious work of grace going on of late in Mr. Oleson's school. It began, indeed, before Mr. Sayford's arrival, but has been greatly forwarded by his preaching. All but a few of these intelligent youths have expressed purpose to follow Christ. There seems reason to believe that a good proportion of them are likely to continue in the way of the Lord. If this shall prove true, it will be an incalculable blessing to their own race, and an inestimable help in lifting up the moral and spiritual tone of the school for the future. Brother Oleson and associates, earnest working Christians as they are, must be intensely rejoiced and cheered. It must make all their burdens light. No special meetings have been held. The work of the school in preparing for annual exercises, has gone on with fullest activity. We cannot forbear to repeat one or two of Mr. Sayford's good things. On Saturday evening, in a talk to men only, he told those who excused themselves from uniting with Christ's people, because they did not like to be in a company where there were so many hypocrites, that "it is with the hypocrites that your place will be, if you do not follow Christ!" Preaching about Bartimeus' coming to Jesus for sight, .and specifying several courses of hesitation and delay which the blind man might have adopted, had he been like many people in Honolulu, Mr. Sayford thought he might have felt that he had no time just then to attend to getting his sight from the Lord. It was the height of the beggars' business season ! There was a great crowd; he must attend to getting in all the money he could, first. But for being so sad, it would have been a delicious piece of satire upon the idiotic folly of postpon- �Volume 48, No. 6.] THE FRIEND. ing the blessedness of soul-vision in God to the procuring of pleasure and fortune. "The seeing eye, the fecline lensc, .• .r«L •. • ofr penitence; I he mystic j'>ys The ihal tell of sins forgiven, The sighs that waft the. soul to heaven." Yet even we who have tasted of such often, how sadly, do we let grace, how earthly good engross our hearts, and dim our heavenly vision! — Oahu Railway Extension. It is understood to be the intention of the Oahu Railway Co. to carry the rails a good part of the distance around the island, provided the Legislature will grant such a subsidy as will justify the undertaking. What has already been accomplished in Kwa by the railroad seems to justify the belief that such extension of the road will be speedily attended by an immense increase of property values along the line. The increase of taxation returns, it is believed, will speedily recoup the Government for such an investment. We are happy to welcome Mr. Arthur Alexander on a home visit after five years absence at Vale, and a vacation in Europe. Mr. Alexander has pursued post-graduate studies at the Sheffield Scientific School during the year past, during which time he has officiated as Assistant to Prof. Hastings in the Electrical Laboratory, also giving some lectures to the lower classes in the school. He expects to continue another year in this position. Hawaiian Mission Children's Society. It is only a few years ago that this society was felt to be making good progress, when its yearly appropriations leached about one thousand dollars. With the increasing prosperity of many of its members, its contributions have rapidly increased. For the year just completed, the appropriations of the Society were $1,010. At the Annual meeting held at the house of Mr. J. B. Atherton, on the evening of May 31st., the "Cousins" pulled handsomely together, and voted an appropriation for '90-'9l of $7,7:55. Three thousand dollars of this were for a new undertaking, for the expense of which the Society assume the responsibility—an Industrial Home for the benefit of educated Hawaiian young women. The general appropriations were increased $775. $1000 was appropriated as in the privious year to proposed new missionary work among the Hawaiian churches. $1,500 to support of Hawaiian youth in girls' boarding schools, being an increase of $300, and $800 to those in boys' boarding schools being also an increase of $300. There was also a considerable increase in the amount appropriated to mission work and Boarding Schools in Micronesia. Parties in the Legislature. The Legislature organized on the 21st, electing a President from the National Reform Party, which appears to have something of a majority. Several members claim to be Independent. It remains to be seen to which side a majority of them will most commonly lean. It thus far seems improbable that any extreme or reactionary measures can secure a majority vote. We suppose that no decided movement to oust the Ministry will be made until their Reports and the inquiries based upon them have been gone through with. We have gathered no reliable information as to what persons are likely to constitute a new Cabinet. It is said to be a question involving some serious perplexities. The elements constituting the majority opposed to the present administration are quite conflicting. Combinations are rumored as likely to include some of the Reform Party, so as to securea compromise Cabinet. We confess to a growing lack of interest in any result likely to occur. Our foreign subscribers are entitled to such information as we can give. Another month ought to supply more of interest to report, Is it fun you want, young man ?

First came the Sabbath school, Key. Lutera superintendent, Mrs. Lutera leader of the singing. Two hundred and nine scholars were present that day, and were divided into seven classes, under as many teachers. There was a class for elderly men, another for elderly women, a third foi young men, and a fourth for young women, and three mixed classes for the children. The adult classes were studying in the book of Hebrews, and the children read catechism. The exercises were conducted with interest, the entire school joining in the Lord's Prayer. During the church service, in which I officiated, assisted by the pastor, two men stood at the door to keep order. The audience sat very quietly. Mi. and Mrs. Lutera are to be commended for the ability they have shown in the conduct of their work. The afternoon service was at three o'clock. On the next Sabbath, the Ist of September, the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was oh served by a full house. There were three hundred and seventy-six at the Sabbath school.

Mr. and Mrs. Sherman and Miss Jessie Hoppin (now of Kawaiahao,) are appointed to Kusaie. There is also some hope that Mr. Walkup will return this year to his work in the Gilbert Is.

The day before the sacramental service was one of preparation and examination. There was, on that day, much prayer and confession of sin. There are five day schools now held on Apaiang. There are three kept by Gilbert Island teachers, and besides these Mr. Lutera has a boys' school and Mrs. Lutera a girls' school. Tetonabara is the name of the site of Mr. Lutera's home. Here have lived a goodly succession of missionaries— rejoice together." Tuesday, Sept. 111. At noon to-day there was sighted a sail. It proved to be a German ship-of war. As soon as it had made anchorage, a boat was sent ashore for the King. The avowed object of this visit of the ship of-war was the conduct of an investigation of certain grievances. May be it shall yet be seen that there was the underlying purpose of annexation. It was the next day in the early forenoon that King Kaiea and the gentlemen of the mission, together with some others went, according to the ■amnions, on board the shipof-war. On meeting the commander of the ship, the King was asked if there were any difficulties' to be settled. " No," the King said; "then are none; the country is at peace." '"Are there any COCOanutt for sale?" " Yes, there are." Then it was that the grievance was stated. It seems that a German trader had been lined $■> and one thousand cocoanuts for making cobra on the Sabbath day, and this fine had been imposed according to the law of the land. The responsibility of this act had been charged by the trader to the-missionary, Key. Mr. Lutera. When King Kaiea was asked if the responsibility of the act rested with Lutera, he said, "No, I bear it all myself." Judgment was passed on the offender according to the law of the land, he being an inhabitant thereof. The commander made reply, "It is not in your province to treat white men in this way; moreover, let the missionary keep to his own proper dut) of preaching the wmd of God. It is right to work on the Sabbath. The laws you make for your people touching this matter have no concern with foreigners. If they break the law of God, let them suffer for it at his hand." King Kaiea said: "If one of my people should go to other lands and work on the Satibath day would he not be guilty under the law of Christian lands?" "No," said the commander; "men work on the Sabbath in England and the United Stat, s, and in the Hawaiian Islands, and are not punished." The King replied, "This is passing strange." This was said through the.mouth of an interpreter, as was much more, though faultily interpreted. In the afternoon the commander paid the King a visit on shore. Key. Lutera and the teachers were present at this conference, which was continued touching the government of the island. " What then shall we do," said the King, "shall we go back to the old days of lawlessness?" And it was reported by the teachers that, in that conference, it was maintained that foreigners dwell(Concluded on cover.) �[June. 1890 THE FRIEND. 48 schools have had a most blessed influ- standard in this particular, and instead ence and will tell for time and eternity. of bringing the world up to the standHONOLULU, IL 1.

The Evangelistic meetings conducted by Mr. Sayford of Massachusetts in this City, which have just closed, have been among the most interesting and remarkable religious services ever held in Honolulu. Mr. Sayford came among us an entire stranger but his first public utterance gave him the hearts of the people, and they were readily convinced that he was a man of God and led by the Spirit to labor in our midst. His sermons were among the most able it has ever been our privilege to hear and his clear cut, concise religious truth was greatly appreciated and most acceptable to all. Mr. Sayford is an evangelist of more than ordinary ability and ranks among the first in America. He has been laboring mi re especially for the lastfew years among college students, and we can congratulate ourselves that we were successful in securing his services even for a brief time to labor in this city. He is a thoroughly consecrated, cultured Christian gentleman and the memory of his visit and work in our midst will linger long with our people. As he goes from us he carries the best wishes and earnest prayers of his many friends who have learned to love him for his worth as a Christian gentleman and an able preacher of the Gospel of the Son of God. THE CIRCUIT OF TARAWA. On the afternoon of Friday, Oct. 11th. we took passage in Lutera's boat, called the "Everting Star," for the south side of Apaiang, and slept there that night. Early on the morning of the 13th we set sail for Tarawa, reaching the northern end of the island at 8 a.m. It being low tide, some of us staid by the boat awhile before landing, Lutera going on ahead to the house of the Gilbert Island teacher. There we staid after landing till the conch-shell blast announced the evening service in the meeting-house at Temamba. The lights were lit when we arrived, and eighty persons were present, who gave good attention to the preaching of the word. We slept that night in the teacher's house; a good house, with two rooms, one a school-room and the other a bedroom. The interior of the house was floored with pieces of boarding taken from a wreck. We had hoped to spend the Sabbath there, but in the morning the teacher said that we must attend services that day at Tearatai, for there the new King, Te Matintouru, was to be with the people, and there the laws were to be proclaimed. We made the start at 5 a.m., and were there at 8:30 a.m. The church service was held at 10 a.m., more than 300 being present. Here during the week Lutera and I, assisted by (Continued from page 47.) the teacher, Mr. Tibuere, held protracted ing in the land must keep its laws.

Thence we sailed on the afternoon of Oct. 24 for Aminarao, where the teacher John Terubo lives. Here we temained holding meetings till the 29th, hoping for favorable weather to sail for Maiana; but being disappointed in this, we returned home, sailing direct for Apaiang. Ewa Plantation. A visit to this plantation a few days since, was of much interest. The railway stopped short of there some five miles, which we traversed over rough wheeling. The first object of interest was a field of 75 acres of young cane, in superb order and condition, every hill of uniform size, not a weed in sight. It is irrigated for the present from the Waipahu pump and flume. This cane is for seed for the great planting next August. Descending into Honouliuli valley, and winding by its singular bluffs, for one and a half miles, we came to the new village of laborers' cottages, great mule stables, etc. Just beyond was McCandless' well tower. Two ten-inch wells are completed, with a most copious flow. A third is down 250 feet. Six in all are to be made in this group. A huge Blake pump is on the way to lift the water of the six wells to the level of the adjacent bluff, 65 feet above sea level, whence it will follow a ditch, below which lies the great stretch of rich level now being prepared for planting. On this flat several six mule-plows were at work, as well as a formidable looking traction engine trotting along with a four-gang-plow behind it. 650 acres are to be planted at the end of summer for a first crop. It is intended to go on to 2,000 or 3,000 acres. The arable tract is of immense extent, even below the level named. How much of this is below the natural flow of Artesian wells (31 feet) is not yet ascertained. Most of the many thousand acres of very low land is in coral The company lease all between the coral and a 200 foot level. The sugar works are in process of planning, but not yet ordered—probable capacity, 100 tons a day —diffusion battery—no rolls. We learned from Mr. Kopke, in charge of the machinery, the interesting fact that the cane chips themselves, filter the juice, so that it comes out clear, even though roily water has been employed.

It is an established fact that at a very low flat lands among and around Pearl Lochs were submerged, the sea being then in relation to the land, from thirty to fifty feet above its present level. It follows that at that time with greater depth and breadth of water, the waves would have had considerable height and force within the present area of comparatively still water. The necessary eroding effect of such a former sea way, is seen in a number of now inland bluffs, notably on the north sides of Aiea and Kalauao valleys, due to the southerly gales driving the waves against them. So also below the Waiawa church, and at Mr. C. A. Brown's place at Waipio, just west of which is a quite remarkable bluff, filled with oyster and clam shells. Waikele and Hoaeae display like features. But the fullest effects of this action are only seen at the extreme west angle of the Lochs, where the long swell of the prevailing trade winds wore perpetually against the great alluvial slope which descends from the Waianae ridge, and scooped out the Honouliuli valley, with its encircling bluffs. By subsequent elevation, the shallow bottom of the Loch became dry land, and constitutes the one or two hundred acres of rich alluvial bottom, now partly occupied by rice patches. On many of the bluffs, as at Waiawa and Waikele, it is interesting to notice the peculiar corroding power formerly exercised by the sea-spray, in hastening the decomposition of the basalt. Many portions of the easterly bluffs are composed entirely of ancient lava layers in situ, but now wholly decomposed into soil or hard pan. recent period, all the and that to be the Roman Catholic.

It has been to us a labor much loved, and we have often felt deeply grateful for so agreeable a means of rendering service to the Christian public. We trust, and indeed have been assured, that they also have not been without some pleasure in our work. May the Lord continue to bless us in this work for their sakes, and more abundantly. Previous relations to the matter in issue, lately seemed to devolve upon the Editor of The FRiENDtheduty ofengaging in a public controversy in behalf of an honored associate, who was attacked in his absence. In thus drawing upon ourselves the storm of obloquy which has been heaped upon our noble brother, we do not claim to have done our part with ability or wisdom; but we have at least the satisfaction of not having failed in common manliness, in the task of standing by a friend who represents the truth and the right. We are very grateful to the friends whose expressed sympathy has helped to cheer us while under fire. The Political Situation. As our monthly record of events will show, the Ministers sent in their resignations to the King on the 13th of June, and on the 17th a new Cabinet was appointed. Of these, one, Mr. Godfrey Brown, had been a member of the old Cabinet, but had withdrawn, on account Two causes have mainly operated in securing the resignation of the late Cabinet, after three years of most able and prosperous administration. One of these was the successful though mendacious use made in the late election by the National Party of the proposed new Treaty with the United States, by means of which to fire the Hawaiian heart on account of the alleged attempt on the part Cabinet thereby to sacrifice the independence of this Kingdom. The only suggested provision in the Treaty which could by any possibility be construed that way, was one which had been promptly negatived by the whole Cabinet. This was an article allowing the United States to land troops here, if needed to maintain order. It was thought by some that in guaranteeing our independence, which was part of the Treaty, that nation would wish such convenience in giving such needed protection. This furnished ammunition for the Nationals, and they worked the useful fraud to the utmost, all being fair in politics. The defeat and death of natives at the hands of white men in the Wilcox insurrection had made the native feeling towards the whites disturbed and critical. This could probably have been measurably appeased. But the Treaty outcry coming on top of the other threw the native vote on Oahu nearly solid against the Reform Party. The same outcry has been kept up to the last in the Legislature. It is obvious, however, that no one really believed in it except the more ignorant of the natives. The other effective cause of the defeat of the Cabinet has been the peculiar course taken by the late Attorney-General. Returning in the spring from a long absence in Canada, he at once began a course of active antagonism to his colleagues, which they have called treacherous. He at the same time persisted in retaining his place in the Cabinet, avowedly for the purpose of paralyzing their action. The Cabinet met the Legislature while laboring under this grievous disadvantage of violent internal discord. It proved too much for them. The small apparent majority left to them by the election dwindled to nothing. The Attorney-General's plea for his course should be recorded. He was patriotically resisting the attempt of the Cabinet to deliver this kingdom over to the United States, bound hand and foot commercially and politically, when such important advantages might be open to us in connection with Canada. His most severely criticised action was his persuading the King to disregard the opinion of the Supreme Court, that he was bound to follow the advice of a majority of the Cabinet. Our relations with the United States are of the utmost importance. We look, however, from that Government for a kindly construction of the outcry raised here for purely partizan ends. We do not see reason to expect any reactionary attempt, or serious mismanagement of public affairs. We look for some good and needful legislation to be accomplished. The most serious and vital mischief is wrought, however, by these reckless efforts to teach the natives that the Reform Party are their enemies, conspiring to filch their rights and sell their country. No greater evil could be done to Hawaiians than by the malicious and persistent teaching of voice and press for a year past, that theii old and faithful friends have become their worst enemies. It has become painfully evident that this diligent inculcation has wrought a great change in the minds of large numbers of Hawaiians, and that they have become much more disposed than heretofore to listen to evil advisers in both moralsand politics. With this is most intimately connected the growth of the old heathenism. �THE FRIEND. 50 July,1890. Annual Sermon on Home Missions by Rev carried away captive, the land desolate, God back of them.

It should be noted thaUhe following is but an abstract prepared by the preacher, of his earnest and able discourse, which was delivered from the briefesf"notes. Our readers will find it both suggestive and stimulating.— \Ed. The Lord said unto him. Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men thai sigh and that try for all the abominations that he done in the midst thereof. —E/ekiel, 11-4. The prophet Ivzekiel was sent to a people spiritually degenerate. His visions and prophecies were called into being by the needs of a captive nation that had forsaken God and had been forsaken for the time by Him. The groves on the hill-tops, and the altars among the green trees, had brought "the dark days" to Israel. Judea was desolate, and Babylon was a city filled with slaves. The vision, in which the text is the central thought, was revealed to the prophet apparently for three (1) To again call marked attention to the outbreaking sins of the nation; and (2) to make evident the Divine care for those who were sorely grieved by this unrighteousness; and (3) the prophet was to record the sharp and decisive action of Divine Justice in meting out swift punishment when there was no longer any hope. It is to the second of these objects that our thoughts turn for the time being Divinely marked were those men whose great hearts were throbbing in sympathy with this suffering nation, and whose honesty recognized the cause of this suffering—the sin and its results. It is interesting to notice the fact that Divinely three times in Scripture, ordered, touched the lives of ftien. Once in the beginning of Biblical history the mark of "the blood" was placed on the household, and the "atonement" was typified. Again, the last book of the Bible, describing the close of Biblical history, pictured a multitude of triumphant servants of God "sealed on their foreheads." Between the beginning and the end it was well fitting that record should be made of the Divine mark on the foreheads of those who were " hungering and thirsting after righteousness." Marked because saved; marked because triumphant; and between the two, marked because of struggle and prayer. You notice that those who are Divinely marked have set themselves apart, by their choices and the resultant characters. You notice again the Divine cooperation and sympathy with those who are burdened by human suffering and sin. No longing for good or evil passes without the Father's notice. You notice the cry to God because of the abominations in Jerusalem, and its apparent uselessness. As far as we know these servants of God saw the nation reasons: Was the prayer useless? "After many days.'' Jerusalem restored, the nation prepared for the Messiah, and salvation provided for the world. The known abominations in these islands when the first missionaries came; and the cry of the miosionary fathers and their supporters in the home land. The answer was not delayed beyond this generation. With evident honesty and earnestness multitudes turned to the new and better religion that was offered in place of their old forms of worship. It is the truth proved by the centuries. The hearts that bear the burdens of men to the throne of grace, sooner or later have the abundant answers to their cries. Every great advance movement of the Kingdom of Christ among the nations has its previous record of struggle and prayer. Is there no need of this old truth at this time in these Hawaiian Islands? The nations of the world are in a ferment. The thoughts of the people are boiling and seething. The prodigal nations are getting ready to go back to their Father's house. The restlessness and dissatisfaction under the present condition of things are evident everywhere. Political strife is not confined to Russia. Political questions concerning finance and labor are crowding into the political life of every nation. The restlessness is not so much evinced by war as by the quickened ideas concerning material progress. The common peoplv, of the nations are learning about better things. They are recognizing the fact that there is a " Father's house." Is not this restlessness an unconscious cry to God—a cry that cannot be held in check? To my mind this fevered condition among the common people has reached these islands. The Hawaiians partake of the agitation of the other nations. They are trying to gain a manhood not yet their own. Sometimes they strive under Satanic leadership. Then the land is filled with abominations that call for "crying and sighing." Is not this a time when every praying heart should be beseiging the throne of grace? Again we notice that careful thought accompanies the anxious hours of prayer. This is a fact shown by all progress of Christian activity. The abominations are thought out and intelligently prayed about. We hiihl discuss the idolatry and immorality and vice so widely prevalent in thse islands. In this discussion we find problems that ought to have a speedy solution. I. Immigration. Japanese, Chinese, and Portuguese laborers, a large throng, largely composed of idolators. The heathen at our very doors. There is a low grade of intelligence and morals. Yet every laborer has his natural rights, protected by natural laws, i. $~ rights with poof laborers, and even more dreadful is the division between your highest spirituality and the knowLdge of God that is in their homes. How shall we deal with their right to rise into manhood, and even into that Christlikeness which is above manhood? How shall we protect them from adding the vices of civilization to their already dark lives? '1. The temperance problem. 3. The caste question and its attendant evils. \. The loose ideas of the family relation, among both whites and natives, as well as among the immigrants. 5. The massing of wealth, and its tendency to keep down all except the favored few, a very dangerous power in the hands of those not protected by Christian principle. If there is any good in wealth every person has his right to try to secure his proper portion of that good. Let the young people of all the schools for both young men and women be so instructed as to be able to do something practical, with the understanding that those who are able will help them in their honest labors after the school life is finished. 6. The home missionary work directly put forth in behalf of the Hawaiians. The different organizations at work in the field. The Presbytery and Associations under the control of native pastors. The Hawaiian Board and its close connection with the native churches. The Committee on Home livangelization and the missionaries of the American Board. These bodies are closely united by their similar interests. How can they best labor together? The call is for Divinely marked men from your own homes, who shall face the abominations and problems, and with longing hearts consider them with continued strength and prayers. This burden ol prayer and work cannot be laid aside for coming missionaries to carry. It belongs to every child of God in these islands. May God give to every one of us so much sympathy with the needs of this nation that we may become Divinely marked men. Rev. Judson Smith, D. D., formerly a leading member of the Oberlin faculty, has for several years labored as a Secretary of the American Board, having special charge the correspondence with the Pacific Missions. It now seems probable that he will be called to the Presidency of Oberlin. This change may add to the powerful attractions which Oberlin presents to students interested in Missionary work, and may determine somewhat the destination of any of our most promising native Hawaiian students selected for additional education abroad to the work of the Ministry. �Volume 48, No. 7.] Mrs. Logan's Letter. (Concluded.) Anapai'o, Rik, Dec. 1889. This week is the tenth of our regular school, and as it is the week before Christmas I shall now have a vacation of two weeks. There are quite a number of things I should like to do in the way of writing, etc., but the girls will need to be kept busy a good part of each day. They need some new dresses, and tan make them, with considerable looking after. I ought to give them some lessons in cutting. They have been making some under-clothing for themselves during the past weeks, of which they feel quite proud, and indeed they do sew well. This morning three of them are ironing their Sunday dresses (dark blue calico), which they washed and starched yesterday, the starch being of the arrowroot, which they can always get here. I do not want to use them to anything which they cannot have here with proper effort, because that might produce an unwholesome discontent in them in after life; I want to lift them up in their own homes and in their own ways of life. We now have three schools in full running order here at Anapauo. Mr. Snelling has the training school, consisting of those whom he hopes and expects will make teachers and missionaries. Mr. Worth (and his wife helps him when she is able) has the general school, which to some extent, of course, feeds the training school and my girls' school also; so it does seem as though with God's blessing, there are springs of water here which shall grow into rivers, watering all this moral wilderness. It is easy to get impatient and to wonder why the work does not grow faster, or why God does not come in power and convert the people at once. I sometimes feel that "Thy kingdom come" means a great deal more when we pray it in heathen lands with darkness all about us. Thursday, Dec. 19.—Capt. Narruhn's schooner came in from Ponape yesterday, bringing us the news that the Morning Star has gone to Honolulu to take Miss Crosby and Dr. Ingersoll up. If we only had all our goods we wouldn't think verymuchof it; hut the hungry time is fast coming on, and all the cloth for buying food for the scholars, and the rice also, left on board the Star. I suppose there will be some way to get through the months. It would be hard to have to send away our scholars for want of food. How glad I would have been to have sent more mail if I could only have known! but of course tbat could not be. The Star will not probably get to us before May now, and that means the Martlock work shortened up, or not done at all, and almost nothing was done for the work there last year. These are busy days. The girls seem greatly interested in their books, and are THE FRIEND. making good progress. I was rather amused this morning at the variety of duties which came to me before breakfast. I was superintending the breakfast-getting, and also looking after the ironing which a " green hand " was attempting out in the wash-house. Then one of the girls is wrestling with long division, and I had occasionally to give her a look and an explanation, and that is the way it is quite frequently. These people do not get tired or impatient, however, if they have to wait a tew minutes, as children at home would do. January 20, 1fS'JO. —We hail a vacation of two weeks in the school, during which time the girls all turned dress-makers and each made a dress for herself, learning about the cutting as well. It became a little wearisome and monotonous before I had fully finished fitting nine yokes, basted in nine pairs of sleeves and fitted nine collars. I presume if my new sewing machine had been wholly here instead of a part of it dancing about on the Morning Star, that I should have been tempted now and then to help them in the hard places; but as it was they did all the sewing. The two weeks were busy ones, but it was a time when I had need to be busy. The sad and sacred and painful associations of two years ago were too fresh in memory to keep from going over them once and again. On Christmas day the Worths and I took dinner at Mr. Spelling's, and on New Year's day they all dined with me. We finished two weeks of a new term of school on Friday night. Early on Sunday morning I heard a great rustling and stir among the girls before I was fairly awake. The Star had come and was anchored where she could be plainly seen from the window. Since then we have had the usual rush and bustle which her coming always brings. This afternoon they have left for Mortlock with Mr. Snelling, and we have the few days while they are gone to get our yearly mail ready, our orders, etc. The mail was something of a disappointment. It seems that mail had in some way started for Micronesia before the Star reached Honolulu, so there was not much of an accumulation; and that mail has not reached us yet, though we bear that it has left Ponape; so I had not a word from the children, nor indeed from any relative. Monday, Jan. 27.—The mail sent on from Ponape came on Tuesday morning. There were letters from the children and other friends, for which I felt very thankful; also two "Missionary Heralds" and another cojiy of "Mission Studies." I have been very busy with my writing; shall be able to finish up after a fashion, though the Star may leturn from Moitlock at any time now. II any of the friends to whom this goes had expected personal letters and do not get them, I hope they will remember the hurried way (and unexpect- 51 Ed) in which we have to prepare our mail this year. It looks as though we might again be afflicted with an epidemic of thieving. Yesterday (Sunday) there were a number of strangers about, and upon entering the church for the afternoon service it was discovered that the table which served the purpose of desk or pulpit, was gone. It was a new one which Mr. Worth had made expressly for this. The spread or covering was gone also. One of the church members has gone to-day tt> Iras, where it seems most likely the things are, to see if he cannot get them back, but it is hardly likely that he will succeed. We have a new trader stationed near us, and we hear that the strangers came to trade yesterday, but the man declined to do business on the Sabbath. Later.—Josef, the man who went to see the thieves, has returned, and did succeed in getting both table and spread. Dea. Aron is sure it is because they prayed very earnestly that the}' might be willing to give up the things, and God touched their hearts in answer to the prayers of Christians; and surely none of us can say that this is not the case. January .'so.—The Star returned from Mortlock yesterday, and sails from here to-morrow at noon. You can scarcely imagine how busily our minds have to work at such times to think of all the things which we may need. Of course we always try hard not to leave many things to the last. Mrs. Snelling and I were invited on board the Morning Star to dinner to-day, and we accepted the invitation, taking the girls with us. It seemed pleasant to have a little outing after having been four months on shore. And now, dear friends, I must say my good-by to you for many long months. As .you read these pages and pause a moment in your busy lives to give a passing thought to us and to the Lord's work in this far-away corner of the world, remember that we are not here shut off from home and friends, to do our work. It is yours too; and pray for us that God will bless it and us. Remember how much I shall need letters from you when the Star comes to us again, and do not fail to write. Lovingly yours, Mary E. Logan. Bishop J. P. Newman was here as a passenger in transit on theCity of Peking, on Sunday, June 21st, and preached an eloquent discourse that morning in the C. U. Church. Dr. Newman is one of the lately elected Bishops of the M. E.

It is nearly one year since our Honolulu Church was ministered to for a season by this eminent Divine. During his brief labors, he greatly endeared himself to our Christian people. Dr. Dwinell's death was from failure ot heart action, on the 7th of last month, at his residence in Oakland. His last week was one of great bodily distress, "the last two being days of terrible agony, yet of heroic patience and saintly resignation." The Pacific says: All those who were permitted to be near the death-bed of our Brother Dwinell regard themselves as having received a wonderful moral and spiritual uplift. There was such a magic, mastery, majesty in his faith, in his bearing, in his self-command, in obedience of the Spirit, while he struggled on in his mortal agony, and while he strove to exhibit, in pose, in feeling, in speech, and forethought, the peace that ruled within, that all were drawn as into some vestibule of heaven itself. Every morning of that last week of life, when the regular hour of worship arrived, he would bring all about him, and have them read together, in concert, the 103 dPsalm or the 121st Psalm, and the 23d Psalm. Then he would have them sing, "Rock of Ages," or "Nearer, my God." Then he would have them pray, each in turn. Afterward he would occupy himself with individuals, and with subjects, as rapidly as his short, quick breath would permit utterance—and, through all, every matter would be carried to such a lofty plane of feeling, conscience, duty, and power, as to fill them with awe and wonder and wistfulness. When the last agonies came, he was beyond ordinary utterance, and prayed to be delivered from this body of death, and prayed in such pathetic tones as to thrill and pierce every hearer. He entreated them all to pray, and keep on praying, "Lord Jesus, come quickly." While in Honolulu, Dr. Dwinell became deeply interested in the work of Dr. Hyde's Training School for Pastors, and has since been in correspondence with the Hawaiian Board, about sending young men of special attainments to the Pacific Theological Seminary. Under the personal attraction of Dr. Dwinell's character, one young man at least would probably have soon gone thither. Prof. Dwinell's death may make a change expedient in his destination. A most sudden and shocking blow has just fallen upon the greatly esteemed Halstead household of Waialua,a family long endeared to us personally.

Mr. and Mrs. Damon being detained by severe bereavement, Miss Green assumed direction, and admirably carried out the work. The gay Oriental costumes of the little girls, the sparkling faces, the perfect drill and readiness in recitation and motion exercises, all made a charming effect. On Saturday the schools had a picnic at Raymond Grove, Brother Fuller devoting his services in aid.— Condensed from P. C. Advt riiter. Kamehameha School held its public exhibition of school work in the Gymnasium on June 24. Divisions were exhibited by Miss Hight, Messrs. Lyman, Thompson, Townsend and Richards, under the general direction of the Principal, Rev. W. B. Oleson. Language lessons, oral and written composition and dictation, reading, analysis and letter writing had a prominent place. There were recitations in fractions, equations, algebra, geography and geometry. Most admirable results of manual training were shown in a great variety of work of the pupils, some fit truly artistic —in joinery, cabinet-making, printing, tailoring, blacksmithing, and turning. Also specimens of excellent free-band and mechanical drawing. The Preparatory School held closing exercises on the 25th, under the very able direction of the Principal, Miss X. . J. Malone. The forty-eight little boys gave excellent recitations and songs, many of ths,m not having known a word of English at the beginning of the year. On FYiday evening, the 26th, an immense audience overflowed Kawaiahao Church to witness the closing exercises, which embraced six spirited musical pieces, four declamations, three compositions, two recitations. 'The paper, Kamehameha Sentinel, and various special exercises designated as Fractions on Fire, Humorous Conjugations, Indian Club Exercises, Our Artists at Work, and Calisthenics, all of which form an immense attraction to Hawaiian audiences, not to speak of foreigners. The school has distinguished itself this baseball season by leading a series of victories over the best city nines—all proving the excellent health and morals of the young men.

The native churches Viivted in union services both morning and evening, and large audiences were in attendance at each meeting. At these meetings the interest centered at the m ruing service held at Kawaiahao, where Mr. S. N*. Sayford preached a good Gospel sermon, which was translated by Hon. W. H. Rice. We exceedingly regret that other preaching services could not have been held by Mr. Siyford am•ng the natives. The English sermon on foreign missions was preached by Key. E. G. Beckwith, D.D., in the morning at the Central Union. Monday w..s given wholly to Sabbath School work. The meeting of the Evangelical Association began Tuesday at 10 a. m. Thirty-seven pastors and fifteen delegites were found to be in attendance: eighteen pastors and delegates from Hawaii, thirteen from Maui and Molokai, e'evt-n from Oahu, and eight from Kauai. Forty-six clergymen were represented on the roll. All the pastors of the churches were present except five from the Maui and Molokai presbytery, four from Maui, and one from Malokai being absent. Mnui is the island of the delinquents. For this delinquency there is no reason; for pastors, and delegates also, in cases of need, are helped by the Hawaiian Board to passage money. In truth the pastors of certain churches have been absent for successive years. It is time that the Maui presbytery took action in this matter It is a known fact that one of the churches of these absentee pastors attempted to secede from the presbytery of Maui. The vote was carried in the meeting of the elders, and if the church and pastor had ratified their vote, the secession would have been accomplished. Is it not time that our brethren and helpers of the Englishspeaking church at Paia took a hand in guiding the affairs of the Maui presbytery? We understand that the pastor of the church is anxious to do so. Does the church fear the bondage of the relation? Perchance the truer freedom would be consistent with the bearing of this yoke. We sincerely believe so. The first day of the Association was entirely taken up with the reading of the reports of the churches. The notable event of the meeting of the second day was the reading of the report of the committee appointed to investigate the corrupt practices which vitiate the Christian life of the Hawaiians. The report was read byjudgejudd, the chairman of the committee, and it brought a serious indictment against — Hawaiian Christianity an indictment which was admitted to be true. The sorest point of the indictment was the charge of idolatry as it is abetted in the practices of the native kahunas (doctors). It is perhaps better described as fetich worship, or spirit worship. Such idolatry is kin to many practices common in the most enlightened lands. It is an acknowledgment ofothei gods than Jehovah. It is a breaking clown of faith in the Holy One, a turning of the soul to league itself with the spirit of darkness. Leaders in native churches have been known to take up these practices. Even pastors have turned, in the distress of sickness, to ask the aid of the native kahuna. The legitimate use of restorative herbs, such as are known to be helpful, is so associated with the practice of sorcery, that in seeking the one the patient almost inevitably comes upon the other. In league with this hoomanamana we find a cropping out of a phase of the faith cure. The Bible becomes the fetich, and is consulted, not according to its actual teaching by a study of text and context, but chance passages are picked up and the most irrelevant suggestions are taken out of them. The Bible thus becomes a kind of cave of sybilline leaves in the hands of an artful expounder. These hurtful practices which are confessed to be prevalent, were discussed for hours at different times during the session of the Association. There was noticeable a general effort at exculpation on the part of the pastors. Some wished to clear themselves of the charge of countenancing such practices; others were anxious, not for themselves, but for the good name of the Hawaiian pastorate. We think the discussion, which was quite open and searching, did good. We believe that native brethren are sincerely desirous of doing what they can in a quiet way to stop these practices. Some are committed to open opposition, and will use their pulpits to good effect. Others will doubtless be somewhat reticent. It is a well known fact that there are those who are carrying on an active crusade against the business. These superstitious practices have a deep root in the native mind, and are just now being vigorously revived by some high in authority. Hut we regard the present tendency as but temporary; it is but a passing phase of the evil that is working in the land to the discredit of the Hawaiian people. It is a phase that must give way before the sturdy preaching of the word and the establishmeraSof more scientific thinking. Our schools and school teachers can serve us well here. In time we hope to see native youth generally ashamed of the credulity of their fathers who practiced these black arts. The best of them are so now. In view of these evils which now scandalize the churches, a committee of three was chosen to take up the matter of drafting certain possible regulations touching their discipline. Bicknell, Emerson and Timoteo are committee, and they would be glad of suggestions from any. The presence of delegate Mahoe, together with Key. Messrs. Lutera and Paaluhi, missionaries just from the field, made the discussion of the topic "Forinteresting. eign Missions" The conviction seemed to take hold of the minds of the members of the Association that the mission work we are doing in the Gilbert Islands must be pressed. The report of the Treasurer, which was read Thursday morning, revealed the prosperous condition of the treasury, and reminded the Association of the generosity of its friends. An attempt which was made to appoint a general salaried official evangelist from among the native pastors for the wide field was fortunately headed off, and the prophet of the evangel was left, not to be chosen of men, but to be called of God. The reports of the work in the churches was not altogether encouraging. The native pastors show a lack of persistency and system in their work. They are not as faithful as they should be, many of them, in house to house visitation, and they fail in discipline. There seems to be noticeable on the part of some a desire to do better work. The last year has been one which has called the pastors to labor for the reclaiming of erring ones, and such work, where it has been undertaken, has been blessed with success. The meetings this year held over till Tuesday of the second week. On Mon- day Father Smith gave the pastors and delegates and their families a ride over the Ewa railroad. About one hundred went, and Mr. Dillingham kindly accompanied them and explained the plans of the Company as regards the future. The tea party given Thursday evening by the ladies of the Central Union Church to the Association and their friends in the city, was a very pleasing and successful entertainment, and productive, as we believe, of good. The missionary who is expected to go Kusaie to take charge of the training school thee for Gilbert Islanders, is not to Sherman, but Shannon. Rev.

We desire to remind young men that the Y. M. C. A. Building affords a place of social resort not excelled in this city. Those studiously inclined will find their wants satisfied in the Reading Room. Those wishing to test their skill in any of the popular parlor games of the day will be provided with the means by interviewing the Janitor or Secretary. Crokinole seems to be the most popular game at present, and is the source of considerable sport for some of our members. Any who wish to sit down with a friend for a pleasant chat will find the parlor open for their accommodation. If musically inclined, an organ stands ready for use. The entire building is brightly lighted with electricity, which makes all the rooms cool, comfortable and attractive. Any young man desiring a friendly word of cheer, counsel or information will be gladly welcomed by Secretary Fuller, who is always pleased to render any needed service within his power. Some of our local friends who read these lines knew all this before—please pass the information along to strangers and those who need to know it, with a personal invitation to call and see us. The recent visit of Messrs. Sayford McCoy revived many pleasant memories of beloved friends in the far East, and precious seasons enjoyed with and them in the Master's service. Surely the strongest ties in this world or in the next, are those born of the spirit and love of Him who loved and prayed for his enemies—even his murderers. The presence and words of these dear brothers in Christ brought a touch of spiritual life and energy that was most refreshing, and made one heart at least yearn to step out from our water-bound isolation into the presence and fellowship of the many consecrated young men in the home-land who are gathering for Bible study and special waiting upon God during these coming summer days. Our prayers are for their enlargement in all that means increased nobihty of character and efficiency in service for saving young men ; may the largeness of the blessing exceed their ability to receive, and a generous measure float over the sea to our island kingdom and into our uplifted hearts. The President Mr. T. R. Walker was in the chair. In addition to the reports from regular committees, there were interesting reports from two special committees. One on the evangelistic meetings conducted by Mr. Sayford, commenting favorably on the work done and stating that all bills incurred were all paid. The report from the special committee on Temperance Legislation was exceedingly interesting and valuable as it contained many facts that have been obtained only by much painstaking labor. The report was accepted and the committee discharged, with the thanks of the Association for their very faithful service. The report will soon appear in printed form.

John Newton says: Satan seldom comes to a Christian with great temptations, or with a temptation to commit a great sin. You bring a green log and a candle together, and they are very safe neighbors, but bring a few shavings and set them alight, and then bring a few small sticks and let them take fire, and the log be in the midst of them, and you will soon get rid of your log." And so it is with little sins. You will be startled with the idea of committing a great sin, and the devil brings you a little teni|)tation, and leaves you to indulge yourself. There is no great harm in this; "no great peril in that," and so by these little chips we are first easily lighted up, and at last the green log is burned.

What Artesian Wells Have Shown Regarding from artesian well borings, the southern the borings of some artesian wells, from sea border of Oahu was, not very long depths below three hundred feet, greatly The Geology of Oahu. By Jas. N. Keola, Student in Oahu College. We print the following Essay of a native Hawaiian Student, under the instruction of Prof. A' B. Lyons, who, however, is not responsible for any statements contained. [Ea] The Hawaihn Islands are almost wholly of volcanic origin. Researches by scientific men have been most thorough on the island of Oahu. The Hawaiian Group may have been fi.rmed long after the formation of the mountain ranges west of the Rockies, and perhaps the volcanic revolution that caused the upheaval occurred as late as the middle of Cenozoic Tinir-. The absence of fossils, either terrestrial or marine, increases the difficulty of finding the age of these islands; but one fact it can be said without fear of contradiction is that these islands were not in existence during Mesozoic Time. The Hawaiian Islands, therefore, cannot justly claim £ny historic antiquity, no matter how far back the so-called Board of Genealogy or the legend of " Papa and Wakea." the mythical founders of the grouj), may date the creation of these isllands to be. The borings of Artesian wells on the island of Oahu, where they have been more numerous than elsewhere on the group, have verified the fact that these islands were of volcanic origin, for in almost all cases ofall the wells bored, the bed rocks have been of lava. Volcanoes have existed on all the islands of the group, but only those of Hawaii continue in activ.ty, the others having become extinct long ago. In Mr. James Campbell's well at the foot of Diamond Head, one of the deepest in the kingdom, lava bedrock was found at a dejith of 1,500 feet. In this as in almost alt the other wells in and around Honolulu the bedrocks are of lava. At Ewa and Waianae, after jiassing through different formations several hundred feet deep, the bedrock found was of lava. The same may be true ofthe Koolau side of this island, but artesian well borings are so scanty there that no definite con elusions can be arrived at. Perhaps the nuclei of primitive Oahu were the volcanic cones of Konahuanui and Kaala, and vulcanic ejections from these craters, through the course of ages, aided in |)romoting the growth of the land. Punchbowl Hill and Diamond Head are of a later j)eriod. At jiresent there are no positive data as to the extent of primeval Oahu, but it would be sufe to conjecture that it must have been of only small elevation in the beginning. St eds either brought by birds or by the currents of the ocean were cast on the then existing shores. In this way the first of its land plants had their origin. Forest trees appeared when there was sufficient soil formed to support their growth. According to facts made known to us — ago, near the base of Punchbowl, and extended from there in a westerly and easterly direction. The unerring proof of this assertion is that coral formations, which are of marine orgin, have been found several hundred feet below the foot of Punchbowl, and also east and west of it. The almost fresh appearance of these corals, some of them being as fresh as those found on our modern beaches, indicates that clear, still, and shallow seas, prevailed there at the time. The sea-borders on the other side of this island may have been manymiles further inland than now. The mountains were the first to be formed as is also true of all the islands of the group. The elevation of these masses is due to the movements within the crust of the earth where enclosed gases and molten lava were forcing their escape. As soon as there was a sufficient vent made, the escaping gaseous vapors and molten lava issued forth; and while the former vanished in the air, the latter flowed down the sides forming new additional strata of land. As soon as there was sufficient material accumulated, the rain falling on the hillsides, and rushing down the sides in torrents, carried down earthy materials with it. This accounts for the presence of clayey and other fresh water materials found overlying the lava formations. As the years went on, and the island increased in size, the -torrents rushing down the mountain sides continued their work of denudation, until respectable looking vallies, such as Kalihi, Pauoa, and Manoa, were formed. The streams during periods of freshets overspread their banks, and deposited the detritus over and around the adjoining area forming alluvial plains. In this way Honolulu and Kulaokahua were formed. It is held by some scientists that Oahu has subsided several hundred feet, but others believe otherwise. When high authorities as Professors Dana and Agassiz hold different views, it is difficult, for lesser ones to arrive at anydefinite conclusions. If we adopt the theory of subsidence, we may suppose that the extra weight on the surface of the land attending each volcanic eruption caused a corresponding gradual subsidence, and this continued till a depth of a thousand feetwas reached, as proved by the lava bedrocks found at that depth. As coral polyps, whose function is to form coral formations, do not survive at depths below one hundred feet, therefore, it is difficult to account for coral at such depths except on the theory of subsidence. But those who reject this theory claim that these deep-lying deposits of coral rock were formed from fragments torn from the adjacent reefs, as has been the case at other places. They believe that the wood-fossils which came up out of charred and decomposed, were woods carried down by the streams and deposited in the stratum where they were found. In some of the well borings, the wood that came up through the pipes resembles cocoanut. No remains of birds, or animals, or even of early man, have been found in any of the formations; and it is not likely that such remains would have been preserved. Whether Oahu has subsided or not remains uncertain, for both theories are probable, and their adherents are men foremost in the scientific world. From observations in our own times, it is evident that Oahu as a whole has been recently "elevated 25 to 50 feet, and that the island is still gaining in size, and the city of Honolulu affords remarkable evidences of this. Human agencies are now at work, and they accomplish more now than physical forces. The Honolulu of 1890 presents an aspect vastly different from that of 1820, when the American Missionaries first landed on these shores. As they landed from their ships, they waded their way through taro patches followed by curious crowds of barely clothed people. Honolulu harbor was larger then, and very much further inland than now. Where the esplanade is now, was once an anchorage for vessels, and if human hands continue with the same energy as has marked the past forty years, before the close of the twentieth century, the esplanade will extend as far as the breakers, where the waves now dash upon the reef. The general aspect of the whole island may not seem to casual observers to have changed during the |>ast decade, yet in reality it has changed, and changes are still going on, and "grander things than these" may yet happen which "generations yet unborn" may have the good fortune to witness. The contract for laying the foundation for the new Central Union Church building has been awarded to Mr. Fred. Harrison, and the work is beginning.

He went and asked if this was true. The she|>herd took him to the pasture where they were, and called one of them by some name. One sheep looked up and answered the call, while the others went on feeding and paid n. attention. In the same way he called about a dozen of the sheep around him. "How do you knowThe stranger said one from the other ? They all look perfectly alike." "Well," said he, "you see that sheep toes in a little; that other one has a squint; one has a little piece of wool off; another has a black sjiot; and another has a piece off its ear." The man knew all his sheep by their failings, for he had not a perfect one in the whole flock. I sup pose our Shepherd knows us in the same way. An Eastern shepherd was once telling a gentleman that his sheep knew his voice, and that no stranger could deceive them. The gentleman thought he would like to put the statement to test. So he put on the shepherd's frock and turban, and took his staff and went to the flock. He disguised his voice and tried to speak as much like the shejiherd as he could; but he could not get a single sheep in the flock to follow him. He asked the shejiherd if his sheep never followed a stranger. He was obliged to admit that if a sheep got sickly it would follow any one. So it is with a good many professed Christians; when they get sickly and weak in the faith, they will follow any teacher that comes along: but when the soul is in health man will not be carried away by errors and heresies. He will know whether the "voice" speaks the truth or not. He can soon tell that if he is really in communion with God. When God sends a true messenger his words will find a ready response in the Christian heart. D. L. Moody. : — J B.

The one was of a humble but devout Gilbert Islander, Mr. Moses Kaure, ignorant of the great world, but not unlearned in the Scriptures. The other was the ordination as an Evangelist of Mr. Jiro Okabe, a bright and educated Japanese, whose labors as an evangelist to his countrymen in Hilo have already been marvellously blessed. It is noteworthy that each of these is the firsCcase of an ordination in these islands from one of either nationality. They betoken the growing relations of the Christian Churches in Hawaii not only to the already successful evangelization of the humble dwellers on the midPacific atolls, but also to the wonderful spread of Gospel light in imperial Japan. Our American citizens met this year in the Opera House on the Glorious Fourth, and heard an address from the Hon. John L. Stevens, American Minister Resident, which received general applause. Two marked features of this address were, a very forcible insisting on Religious culture and Sabbath observance as indispensable to the prosperity of the State; and, secondly, an impressive setting forth of the certainty that F.uropean influence in the Pacific must speedily give place to the exclusive control of America and Australia, the great and rapidly growing civilized nations bordering on this Ocean, also pointing out how the attitude of the U. S. had been one of absolute friendliness, and non-interference with island autonomy. The presentation of these points was felt to be most timely and judicious. At the election on the 9th to fill the Noble Cummings, C. O. Berger was elected by 971 votes to 535, over Alexander Young. This was to be expected, the National party being in the flush of their triumph in ousting the Reform Cabinet.

THE FRIEND. 58 earnest men and women devoted to what is pure and worthy, lovely and good. Such an army of workers ought to go far to make up for the departure from among the Hawaiian people of the forty missionary fathers and their wives who once radiated light upon all the darkness of the land. The system of Common Schools planted by these fathers has grown into a great and spreading tree. We felicitate the Board of Education upon the success of their active fostering care. The Oahu Railway, which is becoming essential in festivities, was employed by the beneficent President of the Board to carry the teachers on Saturday to Honouliuli, and a bountiful picnic at Remon Grove. boat, he caused himself to be untaboocd, that he might be at liberty to shade himself from the sun under a tent or umbrella. His costume was not very brilliant; it consisted of a short bluejacket, with a narrow edging of gold lace, a pair of green pantaloons, and a black straw hat. He was very careful of his grand costume. The King was the last who embarked ; and we remarked that on entering the canoe, he rubbed his nose very hard against that of the Queen Dowager, and that they both shed tears. His vessel headed the procession; our boat followed next; and behind us were two double canoes, and four or five single ones, on board of which were several persons of distinction.

The queens were astonished at the brilliant costume of the priest, and at the beauty of the image of the Virgin on the altar, requesting that they might be permitted to kiss it; they also frequently asked for something to drink, which we could not refuse them ; this put them in good humor, for the length of the ceremony appeared to have tired them. They examined the ship with great curiosity, and even went down to our cabins, giving us to understand how happy they thought us in having such elegant and convenient little beds. Refreshments were served in profusion to all the company; our commander invited the principal officers to a collation, while we were very well satisfied to remain with theladies; amongthem was the charming Kaoo-Onori (Kekauonohi), who together with the other princesses, was excluded from the King's table.

F'reycinet's account of the same transaction is as follows: "In a visit which Karaimoku had made the evening before on board of the "Uranie", the costume of our chaplain attracted his attention; on being informed of the functions of this ecclesiastic, he told him that for a long time he had desired to be a Christian, and that he prayed him therefore to be pleased to baptize him; that his mother on her death-bed had received this sacrament, and had recommended him to submit himself to this ceremony as soon as he should find opportunity. [Note. —It should be remembered that Jean Rives, a notorious liar, acted as interpreter on this occasion.] M. the AbW dc Quelen received his request with joy, and it was decided between us that they should proceed with the ceremony immediately after my return from the council of the King. As I was preparing to return on board Rihoriho told me that he desired to be present with his court at the ceremony, which we were going to celebrate. I sent him for that purpose my barge, and we soon saw him appear, accompanied by five queens, his wives, by Kauikeaouli, his brother, from six to seven years of age, and by the princess Kaahumanu; a large fleet of single and double canoes, filled with men and women, composing his court, followed near. The King was dressed in a blue hussar's vest, laced with gold, with large colonel's epaulets; one of his officers carried his sabre; another his fan, two others carried huge "tromblons" or blunderbusses, a fifth finally his pipe, which he was to keep lighted for him. On his arrival, I saluted the monarch with a salute of eleven guns.

Of this we find about $700 applied to work in Micronesia. For the coming year, a liberal expansion of the work has been planned, and the increased sum of $1,658 appropriated, $700 of it for Micronesian work, $4-50 for Chinese work here, and $100 for work among the Portuguese. Adding $500 disbursed by the Gleaners and Lima Kokua, makes about $2,150 as the cash results for Missionary purposes of the Woman's Board and its adjuncts. In reality, this is only a fraction of what this noble band of Christian women are really accomplishing, The stimulus which their consecrated spirit imparts to our churches is deeply felt, and bean fruit in many munificent gifts made by nun of means to the work of education and evangelization, as well as by some of the ladies, like the venerable Mrs. Rice, who give unstintedly of the income they receive, outside of the treasury of the W.

Now and then missionary ladies in transit from Micronesia, Burmah, China, Japan or Core* electrify them with wonderful missionary experiences. Probably no other organization here more effectively focuses the Christian love and zeal of the Pacific world. Indecision is never good for a man, nor manly; least of all, is indecision about religion manly. Are our consciences against us ? let us lly from those tilings of which our consciences are afraid to the mercy of God. Is the past against us? let us fly from it now to the yet innocent present which he still allows us; to the happy and holy future which he may yet enable us to attain; to the glorious eternity whereof the golden gates are as yet unbarred and are flung as widely open to the penitents as to the saints.— Canon Fairar. Just at this time when the sanctity of our day for rest and worship is being threatened we all will do well to take counsel of God's word, —"If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable, and shall honor Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words, then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord, and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee wijh the heritage of Jacob thy father, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.' 1 Is. 58:13, 14. �60 Mrs. Julia Sherman Mills Damon. In Memoriam. It is but a few weeks' since our farewell parting on the Steamer's deck with this honored Mother in our churches, besring herself with calm cheerfulness of demeanor, although as we knew, suffering with much inward disquiet. Last Saturday, in the old home parlor where her friendly greeting had so often added cheer to Dr. Damon's hearty welcome, we found what is left of her here -the earthly part in its sad casket, arrived from its long journey homewards. This we helped on the Sabbath to commit to its earthly resting place, assured that the freed Spirit had joyfully winged her way to the home with Christ. A great concourse filled the church. Julia Sherman Mills was born October 1818, in Torringford, Conn., the home for 64 years of her eminent grandfather, the Rev. Samuel Mills, until his death in 1833, at the age of 95 years. The remarkable character and gifts of "Father Mills" are immortalized in "Sprague's American Pulpit." Miss Mills' father, Jeremiah, was the fourth son of Father Mills. It is noteworthy that he was for some time the teacher of Henry Obookiah, whose remarkable Christian experience and death led so directly to the establishment of the Mission to the Sandwich Islands. Also that the distinguished Rev. Samuel J. Mills, the seventh son, appears to have originated the first proposition to establish this Mission. It was also his efforts more than those of any other person which led to the creation of the American Board. Thus through both her Uncle and her Father was Julia Mills connected with the inception of this Mission. The residence of her youth was mainly at Natick, Ct. She was orphaned of both parents, at the age of fourteen. United in marriage to Rev. Samuel Chenery Damon, Oct. 6, 1841, she ar- rived the following spring in Honolulu, thenceforward her home. Of the social and religious life of this city, Mrs. Damon became a most important component part. The Chaplaincy on Chaplain Street, became under her ministration, a place of constant, simple, cordial hospitality, which multitudes of guests will ever remember, both travellers from abroad, visitors from our Pacific merchant and whaling fleets, and missionaries in transit, and from other islands. That open parlor was always [August, 1890 THE friend. a place of warm and homelike welcome, while the table in the next room was almost never without one or more guests, often those sojourning in the house. Mrs. Damon was always a great so cial power in this community. This was due in part to a somewhat impressive and influential personality, in part to her high New England breeding, and especially to her elevation uf moral and religious nature. She was one in whose character and judgment both, every one greatly trusted. To these was added a rare efficiency for practical work of every kind. These qualities easily determined her place as a leader socially in Honolulu. Her Christian character was always high and strong. As compared with that of her eminent husband, it partook less of deep emotional experience, its force lying in the direction of conscience, earnest practical consecration, and a ruling sense of duty to the Lord and to fellow-men. She was especially a woman full of good works; one given up in heart, thought and act to nobly efficient service in behalf of all. Mrs. Damon found an especial sphere of activity in aid and direction to the needy and suffering. She lias from the beginning been the chief moving and directing spirit of that most helpful institution, the Stranger's Friends' Society, through whom such numbers of perplexed and suffering strangers have found relief and guidance, and of which she continued to be the President and chief almoner up to the time of her death. And yet we must render especial tribute to her excellence in woman's most Starting in her active way, to say, as is supposed, good bye to some friends leaving the train at a very early hour in the depot at Cheyenne, the car moved as she was leaving it; she fell with one arm under the wheel. Amputation was necessary. After a very few hours of suffering, with no rational consciousness, her spirit took flight from all the clouds of earth into the light of heaven. We take the liberty to end this tribute to her memory with a few eloquent passages from a tribute written by another hand. "How fair" (as a bride) "the younger generation have been able to conjecture, from the placid brow and unfurrowed cheeks upon which the relentless hand of time left so light an impress. Into the pleasant inner room, how many of the young has she gathered from time to time; those who were about to take upon themselves the vows of the church, gathered for a little quiet talk and prayer, 'to see if they really understood the step they were about to take.'" " Who will ever know the number ol steps she has taken to the homes of the sick and sorrowing the number ol tempting dishes her own hands haveprepared and served to suffering ones, the long nights she has spent with the friendless and bereaved,—the rest her strong hands and gentle arms have given to the weary and worn, the cheer she has carried to the hearts sore and discourged,—and the simple cups of cold water she has offered in the Master's name. In many a home has shedressed some little form for its last sleep, and sustained the breaking mother's heart with words of consolation and love, and Honolulu sincerely mourns the loss of so tender a friend and true. "With one hand in heaven, with the other she has continued her earthly ministries; her face looking toward the morning land, has reflected its sweetness, and a spirit of gentle, patient waiting has pervaded her presence." When her sunset sky was overcast for a little time—ere the silver lining had burst upon her earthly view -as she the Father's stumbled in her way, the dark and hand reached through misstep her as she fell.' The caught the of heaven." was at threshold of earth " — essential service, as wife and mother. Dr. Damon was surely blessed in the sweet home his wife made for him, in her strong support and judicious counsel, and in her practical aid in his multifarious Church qnd Chaplaincy work, in the latter of which especially, her gift of free and graceful hospitality fell in accord with his own cordiality, and gave influence to them both. In the sacred relation of Mother, her children indeed rise up and call her blessed, and in their own lives and happy homes are testimonies to the excellence of their maternal training.

At 3:30 P.M. on Saturday the 12th of July the Morning Star squared her sails for Micronesia, carrying with her such a cargo as ships are rarely permitted to take into those latitudes. Eleven Missionaries make a large invoice. We have been estimating its value in dollars and cents and we are sure that each man and woman sent will count many times more than his or her weight in gold. We are not taking only spiritual interests into account when we say this; we are thinking of the history of Micronesia for the coming years. Law, religion, morals, education, literature, government—these are weighty commodities, the costliest that can be brought to any shore. But those missionaries represent these in Micronenesia. A nation might well be grateful for any one of the staples represented. What if they should never go to those islanders; or if they should only go after long years of waiting, years spent in the experience of the more earthen things. What if the Christian teacher—or missionary if you please —had failed to reach Kusaie and Ponape, or the Gilbert or the Marshall Islands, or the Kuk and the Mortlocks—what if all their influence were done away with. It might not make the great markets of the world fluctuate, but it would change the character of Polynesian history. It would be a set back which this island race would never recover from. It would give a fearful certainty to the doom which we too composedly contemplate as impending over it. Kvery new missionary makes more sure the hope of a history in the future for Polynesia. The merchant goes there as a money maker, the marine as a policeman. The rest is left to the missionary to do, and it is an understood thing that he is to do it. There is nobody else there who can, and so the missionary goes quietly to work and does it. For this let us bless and not curse him. But that farewell service on the deck of the Missionary packet which was held just before sailing, had its significance for us as well as for the Micronesians. What an object lesson it was, reviving again the old sense of obligations, making live again the christian chivalry of the past, showing that the power of Jesus is with us to-day, and that there is such a thing as honest devotion to him and abiding faith in his kingdom. There were those on that deck full of friends gathered to worship together once more and to say their Another ordination service of great adieus, who felt that the atmosphere was interest was held Sabbath evening, July clearer for that experience.

The next stopping place will be Kusaie, where the Channons and Miss Hoppin will be left, Mr. and Mrs. Channon to take up the work in the Gilbert Is. training school situated there, and Miss Hoppin to join Miss Smith and Miss Little in the Girls' School. F'rom Kusaie the Star will proceed to Ponape and there leave the Rands and Miss F'oss. The most westward station reached will be Ruk, where Miss Kinney will be left with Mrs. Logan to help her work up the interests of that latest and most western of our Polynesian girls' schools.

During his stay there he has brought seventy-two Japanese into Christian fellowship. Their church relations being taken with pastor Baker's church. Mr. Okabe will now be able, when the time comes, to form a Japanese church and receive members into it. He has already trained one man as a helper, and hopes to train others. Mr. Okabe estimates the Japanese population of Hawaii as over 6,700, or about one-half of that of the entire group. More than half of these are in his immediate parish of Hilo. More than 2,000 are in the neighboring field of Hamakua. For tilling the great field he naturally wants more help. Mr. Okabe magnifies the value of the work in the fact that this Japanese Colony comes mostly from strong Buddhist centers in Japan-centers that foreign missionaries have hardly reached, livery man of them converted to Christ here in Hawaii, will go back as a missionary to a virtually unevangelized field. The council that ordained Mr. Okabe met on Thursday, the 17th, to examine him. The vote for ordination was unanimous. The parts of the ordaining service were as follows: Ordaining prayer, Rev. E. G. Beckwith, U. D.; Right hand of fellowship, Rev. O. P. Emerson; Charge to the pastor, Rev. S. E. Bishop. The council was called, at the request of the candidate, by the Central Uniou Church, and was composed of representatives from four churches and of five other individuals. Dr. Beckwith was Moderator and 0. P. Emerson Scribe. Miss Kinney has long been a worker among the colored people of the home field. Mr. and Mrs. Channon come newly into the work. After looking over pretty much the entire world as a field, he picked out the little island of Kusaie, or rather the Gilbert Islands'training school picked him out. Miss Hoppin may be regarded as a veteran, having already taught two years at Kawaiahao Seminary in Honolulu. Key. A. C.

At the business meeting in July the General Secretary was voted a month's vacation, which he will take during this month of August. Quite a large number of young men came to the Association for assistance to secure employment. Many of them would do good service in the right place.

Our flowers seem to have emitted an unusually far-reaching perfume about the time of their arrival. We receive occasionally numbers of The Star, a small weekly paper published by Rev. E. C. Oggel, in the interest of his present church work in Pullman, 111. It has contained an interesting series of short articles on'the Hawaiian Islands. Mr. Oggel was formerly Pastor of the Bethel Union Church in this city. He seems to be prospering well in his new field of labor and has recently been honored with the degree of D.D. Topics. A Gospel Praise Meeting is held in, the Y. M. C. A. Hall every Sunday afternoon at half past six o'clock. Good singing and brief remarks make it an interesting and helpful service.

The coast When a very costly church edifice is planned, objectors commonly arise who demur to the great cost, on the ground that it will bring the chinch into debt; that it will overtax its resources, and that it will cripple its be in. licence. They also aver that the excessive cost partakes of ostentation, and that it tends to foster a spirit of vain-glory in the congregation, which deadens godliness and dt Votion, also tli.it such expi naive and showy — churches tend to repel rather tract the common people, who do not care to frequent places evidently di eil us club-houses foi th< i .c li ..anil not for the worship of God's poor. It is quite the usual thing to Bit down upon Such troublssome objectors and silence them effectually by adducing ihe precedent ol Solomon's temple. This was incomparably costly and magnificent- The resources of an empire were than to at- strained to complete it. And did not God set the seal oi his approbation upon the work ? What is then so fitting, and what so pleasing to God, as that his people should lavish their wealth upon the houses where they assemble for His worship? And was not Solomon the wisest of men, and acting under Divine guidance and direction in all his great work i Now we think that the actum of Sol onion need not necessarily be any guide to Christians as to the style of churches they should build. In the first place, the Jewish Temple did not stand for one of our churches, which are more exactly represented by the synagogue buildings numerous in Jerusalem ami throughout Palestine. The Temple was the gnat National Palace of their King Jehovah, where he condescended to manifest himself. It was also in B certain way, llic great National State House, and place of National Assembly. I'or these reasons, it was entitled to exceptional stateliness and grandeur, but is also no precedent at all for the style of churches called for in Christian worship. Further more, we contend that God's manifested acceptanceof Solomon's work does not necessarily seal with full approval all his lavishness of expenditure. God accepts and helps on a vast amount of good work among his people which is nevertheless sadly marred by human ignorance and infirmities. We can see how the spirit ot Solomon's labors was acceptable, insomuch as he caused the grandeur of the house of Jehovah, Israel's supreme king, to exceed anything of Solomon's own house, as deputy-king. There was a great Political as well as Religious principle involved in Solomon's temple, which is absent from our church edifices. Nevertheless, we think it is competent for us to question sharply, whether Solomon's temple was not needlessly costly. We may well consider whether, if in- better, and established his throne more firmly, if be had spent at least half the money on useful, beneficent, and merciful works for the good of the nation. Suppose that instead of putting all the money into a g>; nd, showy building in God's honor, he had expended a part of it in creating a great system of Free Schools and Colleges for the education of the people, especially in the law of God. Would they not have risen above tin worship of the Calves and of Baal ? Suppose that he had spent another part .ii erecting and endowing Hospitals, Lunatic Asylums, Orphan Asylums, etc. Would not the Lord have been better pleased with such works ot mercy ? And would not the people have been bound by ties of love to so beneficent a monarch ? Suppose that he bad spent another portion in filling the country with thoroughly good roads for traffic, and with storage reservoirs for irrigation. But with all his vaunted wisdom, it is not probable that Solomon, or any of his engineers knew how to make a really good road, or ever saw one. On the whole, we think the less we go to Solomon for precedents in either Ecclesiastical or Political Economy, the less likely we shall be to fall into serious mistakes. Solomon's kingdom fell to pieces, almost before he was cold in his grave. Let us aim to honor Christ, by building up for him in this nation strong anil living churches of enlightened and holy people of all the races dwelling here. Such are the buildings that God delights in. We think that -this false precedent from the Jewish Temple has done only less harm in the matter of Church buildings than the precedent of the Jewish Hierarchy has done in the matter of Church organization and ordfer. The one calls for Cathedrals, the other for Popes and Bishops. The Hilo and Hamakua Railway. ■Mr. Dillingham's established success in creating the Ewa Railway, has led to the revival of the Hilo Railway project, originally planned by the late Hon S. G. Wilder. An application is now before the Legislature for a moderate subsidy, and guarantee of interest on the bonds. There can be little doubt that the creation of this railway at the present time will depend entirely upon such government aid being granted. We think we have never known of an enterprise of this kind more eminently entitled to such aid. The tract of country to be opened by this railway is the largest and noblest fertile region in these islands. It is the windward flank of Maunakea, with a nearly straight coast line of fifty miles, and averaging a breadth of ten miles of fertile soil. Yet line is a continuous lofty precipice with- out a single protected cost. Freight only be shipped in the smoothest weather, and then generally by ire.ins of slides and derricks, Numbers of deep ravin s render any distant land transport impossible. North Hilo and Hamskua are thus practically isolated. Planters and settles occupy tins region under great difficulties, although in climate, fertility, ami beauty of scenery, unsurpassed In any other district. The railroad crossing these ravines, anil connecting all its dissevered sections with each other anil with the (then to be) City of Hilo. will change all the unfavorable conditions, and under tins the wealthiest s< etion in the kingdom. The question placed before the Legislature is. cleßrly, whether or not, by moderate and reasonable aid, at once, to create ibis immense increase ol population and of property. It is obvious that the subsidies granted must be in a short period returned intt the Treasury by the in crease of taxable property. When the llamakua railway becomes an actual fact. Hilo will enjoy the peculiar distinction as a city in these islands, of having an extensive back country to BUBply and be supplied by. Should, however, the Oahu Railway be extended around through Koolau, a considerable breadth of fertile territory will be put in easy reach of Honolulu. Our city will then emulate Hilo in the possession of a good endowment of backcan countiy. Oahu Railway.—Regular trains commenced running two weeks since to Ho nouliuli, live miles beyond Pearl City. Half a mile this side of the wells, the main track branches southward and then westward ; it is mostly graded for two miles towards the site of the Mill works. The rails will soon be laid, and freight delivered on the upper lands. The Railway is actively pushing forward large quantities of freight to meet the wants of the new Plantation. It costs more to revenge to bear them. injuries than The blacksmith is a man of metal; but the carpenter is a plane man. Do not persecute the unfortunate, as it is throwing stones on one fallen into a well. The most scandalous divorce cases have often started from little infelicities. The smashed and telescoped train began by getting one inch off the track. There are churches in Messina so dirty that if you go into them, you will repent in dust and ashes. A cathedral altar encloses a letter from the Virgin which has driven out devils, but does not drive out the fleas, with which the church is swarming. �6 THE FRIEND. To know Christ is to live Christ. The ideal life is a concentrated life. He that glories in his sin, glories in his shame. Nothing is so reasonable and cheap as good manners. He who gives pleasure meets with it; he who sows not, reaps not. Nature is no Quaker. Every spring she dons the gayest attire. Every married man should keep his wife's husband out of the saloons. Flatter not thyself in thy faith to God, if thou wantest charity for thy neighbor. Trust not great weights to slender threads; commit all your secrets to no man. Hope is itself a species of happiness, and one of the most common the world affords. People who always say just what they think, somehow seem almost always to be thinking disagreeable things. Flowers are the angels of the grass. Their voices are soft. When they speak, they whisper. Religion is not a hearse to carry out the dead; but a chariot in which the living are to ride triumphant. Religion presents few difficulties to the humble, many to the proud, insuperable ones to the vain. \ good inclination is but the first rude draught of virtue; but the finishing strokes are from the will, which if well disposed, will by degrees perfect. Though the rain keeps thousands away from church on Sundays, it does not deter a single man from attending to his business on week-days. Sin is never at a stop; if we do not retreat from it, we shall advance in it, and the further we go the more we have to come back. When the man has not the slightest intention that the answer should influence his conduct, why should he inquire whether there be a God or not ? All Christians must work; what would happen in the battle if only the officers fought ? Stronger than steel Is the sword of the spirit; Swifter than arrows The life of the truth is; Greater than anger Is love, and abideth ! It is a comfort to us that we serve a Master who is willing to make the best of us. Do you want to help your fellowmen? Be so good a man that they cannot help catching goodness from you. Politeness is for a man what beauty is for a woman. It creates an instantaneous impression in his behalf, while opposite qualities work as a prejudice against him. Creed Revision. — The Presbyterian T B. CASTLE, Church is now agitated about its creed. Some good men in it are for keeping it COMMISSION MERCHANT, because it was framed from the belief of t'artwrighl RuildiiiL,, Men haul Street, Off John Calvin. Other good men in it lam with neither party. Instead of revision I want substitution. I was sorry to have the question disturbed at all. The creed did not hinder us from offering the pardon and the cmfort of the Gospel to all men, and the Westminster Confession has not interfered with me one minute. But now that the electric lights have been turned on the imperfections of that creed—and everything that man fashions is imperfect—let us put the old creed respectfully aside and get a brand new one. It is impossible that people who lived hundreds of years ago should fashion an appropriate creed for our times. John Calvin was a great and good man, but he died 3'2G years ago. The best centuries of Bible, study have come since then, and explorers have done their work: and you might as well have the world go back and stick to what Robert Fulton knew about steamboats, and reject the subsequent improvements in navigation; and go back to John Guttenberg, the inventor of the ait of printing, and reject all modern newspaper presses; and go back to the time when telegraphy was the elevating of signals, or the burning of bonfires on the hilltops, and reject the magnetic wire, which is the tongue of nations; as to ignore all tri :'txcgttea and the philologists and the theologians of the last three hundred and twenty-six years, and put your bead undei the sleeve of the gown of a sixteenth untury doctor. I could call the nanus of twenty living Presbyterian minivers of religion who could make a better creed than John Calvin. The nineteenth century ought not to be called to sit at the feet of the sixteenth. T. L. Cuyltr, D.D. want revision. — ilk— Honolulu, H. I. fewy n B.

The object of a Convention would be to throw the formation of a new Consti- tution into the hands of voters without any property qualification, and to rush the election through with an outcry. A constitution so made would be sure to be one removing the present restrictions on Royal power, and upon means of corrupting the Legislature. The grievance alleged against the present Constitution is that it robbed the native people of their Ballot, by imposing a property qualification upon electors of Nobles' ($6OO income, or $8,000 real estate). The truth is that this so far from being a diminution, was a great enlargement to the voting rights of the people. The old constitutions had reserved the appointment of Nobles to the King. It had never been thought that the common people were intelligent enough to be trusted to choose more than half of the Legislature. The makers of the new constitution were more democratic, and took the choice of Nobles away from the King, giving it to the more intelligent and capable portion of the people. It is we believe the decided opinion of most thinking men that the majority of the common people of this country have not yet acquired the qualifications which enable them to choose a majority of safe and reliable men to the Legislature. It is most necessary that for a time at least, one-half of the Legislature should be chosen by the more capable class of citizens. The property qualification is extremely low, and includes all mechanics and skilled workers. About one-third of the voters for Nobles are Hawaiians, who thus have so much added to, instead of subtracted from theii voting capacity. The outcry against this is wholly a work of demagogues, who have been working up a heat among the natives against the Reform Constitution and movement. Their real grievance is that foreigners have been admitted as they are entitled to be, to a full share in the government of the country. The more intelligent and sensible of the Hawaiians, cordially concede the necessity of this. They see that it is absolutely impossible to run this kingdom on the old lines of Royal arbitrary power, and native direction. They see that the attempt to return to the old way is an rnsane one, and can only result in a ruinous contest with the great and growing capital and business of the country, which must have intelligent and capable government. �THE FRIEND. 66 Meantime the best and truest friends of the Hawaiian people, who point out to them these facts and advise them to live harmoniously with the foreigner, as they have always done, are the objects of the most rancorous vilification by the native demagogues and theirwhiteallies. It does not appear likely however that their efforts will prevail. The Legislature may possibly favor some amendments to the Constitution, though we think not. They will certainly not order an unlawful Convention to do the work. The real enemies of the Hawaiians, that are destroying them, are the idolatrous kahunas, the Liquor power, and the still surviving social vice. These things keep a majority of the natives in poverty, incapability, and degradation. We rejoice to testify that a goodly number of the people are earnestly combatting these allies of the Evil One. Hawaiian Kahunas and Their Practices. BYRBICKNELL. EJVAM.ES In ancient times any one desiring to be a kahuna had to undergo a thorough training, but ever since idolatry was put under ban, and the practice of it made a crime punishable by law, the rules have been slackened. The majority of kahunas practising at the present time are self-constituted, and only quacks in the profession. A class called "he poe hoonohonoho akua," claim that they are the dispensatories of the spirits of deceased people. A native can be provided with a familiar spirit simply by going to a "kahuna hoonohonoho" and asking to be taught the proper ceremonies to be observed. Some, however, become depositories bymethods of their own, and without aid from anybody. Many church members have their familiar spirits for whom they have great aloha. Before taking up a case for treatment, kahunas invariably consult their gods by inquiring how they are to act. Even to the minutest details, they are dependent upon their gods for direction. What a power in the world Christians would be, did they trust in Jehovah with the implicit confidence that kahunas are said to do in their gods! As a preliminary offering some kahunas demand of their patients a bottle of brandy, a bottle of rum, and a bottle of gin. This liquor is said to be for the gods—the kahunas drink it nevertheless. Success in practice is the kahuna's only diploma. Proficiency in his art is called "ailolo." To be acknowledged and feared, a "kahuna anaana" must first pray to death some dear friend or relative. If he succeeds in killing in this way a member of his own family, his reputation is established and he becomes an object of dread to all around. Kahunas are inveterate smokers and awa drinkers. Awa and tobacco are the chief votive offerings to the gods. In order to placate the gods, and to keep Septmbr, 1890. them always well-disposed, kahunas are teacher round their fingers and make driven to the constant use of these believe that they are all fair.

A able. Put him on the track of a hoo- stranger unacquainted with the Hawaiian custom in this respect would consider it as asking a blessing. The custom is to dip the index finger in the liquor and then snap it in the air, at the same time repeating the prayer, "O ye gods of the east, west, north, and south, ye gods above and below, ye gods all around, here is your portion." Kahunas are centers of influence, and they do a vast amount of mischief in inciting the people to maintain their allegiance to the aumakuas (gods). They teach that it would be unpatriotic to sever the connection with the aumakuas, and that those who"do so are unfaithful to the traditions of their race. This teaching insnares many a young Hawaiian. The dread in which the gods are held is well illustrated by the case of a native family living in this city of Honolulu, and whose household god was the shark (mano). There are four in the family. The mere sight of a shark used to fill them with fear. To touch a piece of one would throw them into convulsions. One of their number being at the fish market saw some dried fish hanging up and examined it, thinking it was albicore. On being told that it was shark, he fell into a fit and had to be carried home. This incident shows how greatly Hawaiians are influenced by imagination. Hearing of the case, the Secretary of the Association for the Suppression of Idolatry went and labored with them. After a time he persuaded them to partake of a supper of shark flesh which he and two other members of the Association had prepared. These people have been delivered from their fears, and abandoned the worship of theshark god. Some have fetiches to represent their gods. The fetiches are consecrated by the kahunas, and are greatly revered. It is like cutting off a limb for a Hawaiian to part with his fetich. In the course of my missionary work a great many fetiches have come into my possession, but not one of them has been obtained by myself; they have all been gotten by Christian natives who had been freed from the idolatrous spirit. In truth, as far as idolatry is concerned, the case has supervened and gotten beyond the reach of the foreign teacher. Idolaters are such adepts at hypocrisy that they will twist the foreign manamana case, and he will follow it up as intently as an ichneumon searches for crocodile eggs. He has had many a contest with the kahunas, they hate him for dispossessing the people of their fetiches. Had I the means I would give this man a support, and keep him constantly employed in ICvangelistic work. Aumakua, (ancestral god), and unihipili, (familiar spirit), are names by which the gods are known. The designation "aneia kiai" (guardian angel), is now used by kahunas. This is a cunning device of theirs to make the people believe that the spirits are benignant •beings. Natives say that the aumakua and unihipili have as real an existence as did the demons in the time of our Savior's ministry among the Jews. The best of church members are puzzled to account for the manifestations in those which are said to be possessed of the aumakua, and in dealing with them they do so with the firm belief that they are contending against real spirits tenanting the bodies of men. They point to these manifestations and ask, "How do you haoles explain them ?" It would be a satisfaction could the manifestations under discussion be subjected to scientific tests, and the causes which produce them fully explained. Perhaps some medical man well acquainted with the native language could be prevailed on to take up the study, and make clear what is now obscure. Among women nervous complaints peculiar to the sex prevail, and are commonly attributed to demoniacal possession. Here is a field for the school teacher. Let the girls in the various seminaries be well instructed in physiology and hygiene. Kahuna medical practice is based upon the belief: I—That sickness is caused either by demoniacal possession or by disease. 2—That the spirits possess people of their own will, or are commissioned to do so by ill-disposed kahunas. The spirits being the "akua hoounauna," (messenger gods). 3—That cases of possession are always curable through the use of charms under the direction of kahunas. 4—That .cases of actual disease being dependent upon the use of medicine for cure, recovery is not always certain. �Volume 48, No. 9.] THE FRIEND. The belief in "hoounauna"—witch- Jehovah is an unknown God, but when craft —is almost universal. Kalaipahoa they become acquainted with Him, and is the chief malevolent spirit. The are freed from the idolatrous spirit, they fetich which represents it is a red wood will then substitute Jehovah for the ausaid to be found only on the Island of makuas and pray to Him alone in sickMolokai. Hoounauna is performed by scraping the Kalaipahoa fetich with a sharp instrument and then blowing the scrapings in the air, the kahuna tells the spirit to go on its mission of destruction. The natives affirm that the Kalaipahoa is often seen traveling through the air like a ball of fire. In many respects witchcraft as it prevails in New Mexico resembles the Hawaiian system of hoounauna. The Youth's Companion of February 20th of the current year contains an illustrated article on " New Mexico Witches." The article says: ".It is believed that the witches can do anything they wish, but that they never wish to do a good act unless bribed or scared into it. They never injure dumb brutes, but confine their evil spells to human beings, whohave knowingly or unwittingly incurred their wrath. At night they go flying to the mountains to meet other witches, and hundreds of ignorant people declare that they have seen them sailing through the dark sky like balls of fire. Before leaving home they always exchange their own legs and eyes for those of a dog, cat or coyote, cry out, "Sin Dios y sin Santa Maria,' which signifies 'Without God and without St. Mary,' and then fly off." In New Mexico the witches, it seems, effect their evil purposes by transforming themselves into spirits. In Hawaii nei it is the Kalaipahoa, through the in- fluence of evil-minded kahunas, that be- witches people. Kahunas pretend that they are able at first sight to distinguish a case of possession from one of disease. In cases of possession the spirits answer questions addressed to them, and will, if asked, give the reasons for their occupancy of the bodies of men. This creed of the kahunas is received by the people, and is the stumbling block to their acceptance of the Gospel in its integrity. Influenced by it, some church members say, "It is not well to follow Jehovah fully, latitude should be given." "Aohe pono ke hahai pololei loa ia lehova, c aho ke hookapakahi iki ae." These people entertain the idea that Jehovah cares only for the soul, and does not hear prayer for physical ills. And as the body is the immediate object of concern to them they naturally enough think it would be hazardous to trust in Jehovah alone, they must hold on to the aumakuas its well to insure help in sickness. With strange inconsistency they pray to Jehovah for a blessing on their food, but upon their medicine they ask it of the aumakuas. To the majority of church members ness. Idolatry is religion for the body; its business being physical healing, consequently an idolater has occasion for his god only in sickness. It is during sickness that the fetiches are brought out and the incantations practised. Having no use for his god during health, an idolatrous church member can dispense with it and worship Jehovah, but when sickness comes he turns again to his god with the thought that it alone will help him in his extremity. It is impossible to crush idolatry until the fact is established that Jehovah cares for the body as well as for the soul. Those natives who have learned Christ seek out idolatry in its hidden places and attack it whilst the incantations are being practised. This method of dealing with it is a discovery of their own. Advance the church members in the faith, bring them into communion with God, and the fate of idolatry is sealed; but the laborers must be left to their own judgment, under God, in dealing with it. A truly consecrated Hawaiian can deal with the evil better than anyAnglo-Saxon could tell him. To dispossess idolaters of their fetiches a Christian must have a special gift from God for the work. No novice can accomplish it. Christianity and the hoomanamana ate so tangled together in the churches, it looks as if nothing but a mighty display of power on God's part could separate them. Such a display as occurred in 18;18 would answer the purpose. But few foreigners are acquainted enough with the state of things among Hawaiians to understand their besetments. Led astray by the kahunas, and deceived by their own senses, the wonder is, not that so few of them are real Christians, but that there are so many. To understand their true state, and the almost superhuman difficulties that beset their pathway, one must adopt Paul's method of procedure and descend to the people. Christ had to touch humanity in order to be a perfect Savior. Could we for a moment see with a Hawaiian's eyes, and hear with his ears, we should find that it is vastly more difficult for him to live a Christian life than it is for an Anglo-Saxon. Almost at every step he is beset by some enchantment. He not only has to overcome fleshly lusts, but he has to discredit the evidence of his senses as well. When exhorted to give up the belief in the aumakuas, he replies, "How can I, when I see all about me so many signs of their pre- sence." The ordinary preaching ot the Gospel does not meet the needs of the times; the invincible power of the Holy Spirit should accompany it to break the chains 67 which hold the people in bondage to Satan. The belief in the aumakuas is so real and deep-rooted in the minds of Hawaiians that nothing but supernatural power can overcome it. When we realize this fact fully, and pray earnestly for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the blessing will come, and then shall be swept away all the obstacles to the onward progress of the Gospel on these Islands. Through the events that are transpiring at the present time, God is teaching us to lean more upon Him and less upon ourselves in the ministration of the Gospel. When we learn the lesson, the Holy Spirit will then be poured out and the power of Satan destroyed. Letter from a Protestant Church in Rome. On a recent trip to Italy, Mr. J. S. Emerson visited the Evangelical Military Church in Rome, whose work is especially among the Army. On his return Mr. li. reported his observations to the Central Union Church, and was requested by them to convey their greetings to the Italian brethren. The following letter is their response. It will be seen that they regard the Papal Church as degrading Christianity, and producing confusion as to religious truth in the popular mind. If we have come to regard the name "Man of Sin" as not applicable to the Papacy, we should nevertheless consider the severe trials and persecutions encountered by these Evangelical brethren, to whom the aspect of the Roman hierarchy, seen close at hand, is one of dreadful corruption and bitterness. This is undoubtedly true, notwithstanding the great numbers of Roman Catholics who are pure and consecrated Christians. The grace of God has in all ages worked wonders of holiness in human hearts through gospel truth, however dimmed by error. The Deacons and the Brethren of the Evangelical Military Church in Italy, to Mr. J. S. Emerson and to the Brethren of the Central Union Church, and to the Congregations of Kawaiahao, and of Kaumakapili, in the Island of Hawaii. Peace and love with faith in the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ. Beloved Brethren: Your letter was read to us by our dear Minister Cavaliere Capellini, on Whitsunday, the day on which others of our companions, put on for the first time, the Armour of God, and presented themselves to swear fealty to Him in the solemn act of Communion. Whilst we were gathered together round the Table of the Lord to partake of the Holy Supper, the power of God seemed to descend upon us, the recollection of His great mercy moved our hearts, �Septmbr, 1890. THE FRIEND. 68 the thought of His ever-present help strengthened our faith and we felt ourselves encouraged to persevere in the way of Truth. Soldiers of all branches of the service were present, and your salutations, your good wishes, the knowledge that you pray for us, was a great pleasure to every one of us; and we all felt able to say from our hearts "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," and who will lead us on from strength to strength. How pleased we are to think that in countries so far from us, there are dear brethren who think about us ; we believe as you do, and we rejoice that both you and we have the same access to the Father through Christ. You know that we are here in the very city where is the seat of Satan, where the Man of Sinhasdegraded Christianity, and the people confounding truth and falsehood, have come to hate the very name in which only is Salvation. Our difficulties are great in testifying for Christ publicly; and great are the persecutions which we encounter, but we feel ourselves strong because an unseen powerful hand is on our shoulder and a voice whispers in our ear "Be not afraid," and this voice is our standard of peace and love, uniting us to Christ. We shall never forget you, but shall pray continually that the Lord will give you His strength to drive away Satan, and that you may, like us, brave the tempests of sin which surround us all, and that your days to come ma}- be enlightened with Divine Light. The Rev. Cavaliere Capellini sends you his fraternal and Christian salutations and we wish the same to you with a holy kiss. And may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all and with all those who love Him in sincerity and truth. For the Church, the Deacons, Catonf.

Dr. Lyman Abbott describes a certain class of city churches, as follows: "They are placed in our towns and cities among the rich residents, not where the poor live. They are made Nonsense ! Let us not deceive ourselves; they are our Sunday luxuries, as much so as the easy chairs, the painting! and engravings, and the grand pianos in our parlors at home.

Mrs. Stratford arrived the 30th, on the Zealaudio, to take charge of this new institution, accomjianied by Miss Benner, who will conduct the dress-making department. The Home is located for the present in a house rented for the purpose at Makiki, on Beretania street, convenient to the tram cats. The house has been furnished by special donations of furniture, etc. A house-warming reception is planned for Thursday evening next. The Home is intended for educated Hawaiian girls, of good character. They are expected to pay something for board, and to be trained and directed into profitable lines of employment. The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society have undertaken the maintenance of the Home, and have appropriated 82,600 towards this years' expenses. Of this amount, $. >oo has ahead}' been contributed by Hon. H. P. Baldwin, and $1,000 by Mr. P. C. Jones. The need has been seriously felt, of such a provision for many of the promising graduates of the Girls' Seminaries. We learn that the idea is popular with Hawaiians, and that the Queen and the Princess Liliuokalani are much interestin it. r Mr. Gowen's Chinese Work. The Rev. 11. 11. Gowen sailed last Friday on the Australia for a visit to his home in England. We learn that his leaving waa in consequence of serious differences with his Bishop, in which he had the sympathy and support of most of the Anglican laity. Mr. Gowen had been a leader in the Blue Ribbon League, and had won great influence among the Y. M. C. A. people. He is a young man of superior ability and scholarship, and of unusual personal magnetism, and, as we believe also, of earnest devotion to Christ and his work. Mr. Gowen has particularly distin guished himself by very successful labors in building up an Anglican Chinese Mission Work, having established a considerable Chinese congregation, with a very nice little church edifice, also an efficient Chinese school. We learn that he has attained considerable proficiency in the use of the Canton dialect. We hope and believe that this mission will be the means of an extensive dissemination of the true knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ among the Chinese in these islands, and that many of them will be brought by this instrumentality into personal allegiance to the Savior. Some of Mr. liowen's methods have seemed to us objectionable, although doubtless justifiable from his point of view, and probably approved of by his associates. We refer to his aggressive and relentless proselyting from the Chinese Mission chinch and schools which had been long before established by our Congregational Churches, and which were under the care and supervision of Mr. Prank W. Damon. As we understand, Mr. Gowen recruited hie Chinese adherents and his Chinese school mainly from the church and the schools with which Mr. Damon was connected, thereby seriously impairing the strength of the older mission work. We are reliably informed that be was in the habit of urgently soliciting Chinese parents lo remove their children from Mr. Damon's schools to his own. We do not impute I his to Mr. Gowen as a matter of grievance. No doubt he considered it his duty thus to win souls into the true and Apostolic Church, from what he regards as an erratic and schismatic "conventicle." just as we consider it duty to strive to lead Mormons and Roman Catholics out of those corrupt churches into enlightened Christian faith. At the same time, Mr. Gowen'a work must be esteemed as mainly one built on other men's foundations. The matter furnishes a good illustration of the foil}- of advocating Christian Unity, until one has learned to exercise a decent Christian Comity. Meantime, we hope and expect that this antagonism to our Chinese Mission work will call forth our must earnest labors, gifts and prayers, that it may go forward and prosper. Rev. Dr. L. H.

Bishop: We are tin our way back from the General Conference of Missionaries in China, which met in Shanghai May 7th, and was intended to last ten (lavs, hut which ran over to two full weeks. The last .meeting of this sort was in 1877, and was attended by about 110 delegatea. There was some difference of opinion as to the wisdom of holding this meeting (strange to say), and even a few months ago it was not certain that it would be a pronounced success. Uut all fears of this sort were set at rest when the names began to be sent in. The number of persons in attendance was about 430, nearly all missionaries or those in connection with some form of missionary work. This number is greater than the whole body of missionaries in China at the time of the last Conference. A good number of missionaries came from Japan, and one or two from India. We were glad to slu the face of Mr. Ostroni, who brought greetings from the church in Kohala and from the Hawaiian Kvangelieal Association. The National Council of Congregational churches in the United States deputed Dr. Porter a delegate to that bod)-, to convey their greetings to the Conference. The comprehensive programme covered all subjects likely to be of interest to missionaries in China. Warned by the experience of the former meeting, the Committee of Arrangements decided to print all the papers in advance and have only abstracts read, thus greatly economizing time for the debates. As the papers were nearly all in the hands of those who desired them, this was on the whole a plan very satisfactory to all but the poor reader of the paper, who often felt that he (or she) had already carried condensation to its maximum. The first Saturday was Ladies' Day, and was wholly devoted to hearing papers written and read by ladies, although few of the ladies joined in the discussions. One of the most helpful and interesting meetings was given to questions and answers, a rare opportunity to pump wisdom in short, sharp jets from deep and generally inaccessible wells. The ladies had also two meetings of this sort by themselves. The most important and the most difficult question before the Conference was the unification of Bible translation, which has been a matter of division and of controversy for forty years. It is not simply the question of "terms" for "God," "Spirit" and "baptize," but still more a matter of style, and of the relation of revision to existing versions. In spite of strong personal feeling and a well-grounded fear at the beginning that union on this point was impossible, such a spirit of concession was on all sides manifested that the "impossible" become a fact. The Conference elected by ballot from long lists of nominees executive committees of ten and twelve persons, whose duty it is to select translators for the various revisions needed. One version will be in the high classical style, and When one in the easy classical style. completed these will tend to supplant all existing versions, and will be uniform for all China. Another revised version in the Mandarin will be uniform in the extensive ranges where that dialect prevails, perhaps three-fourths or even four-fifths of China. Besides this other committees have in charge particular vernacular versions, and the romanized form of the same, such as the Ningpo, Foochow, Amoy, Swatow, and Canton colloquial. The great confusion heretofore existing will be corrected and unity will gradually emerge. Besides this, competent committees recommended specific methods of writing for the blind, and symbols for the deaf and dumb. The work of the Conference in regartl to the revised Bible was characterized by the senior missionary, Dr. Happer, as "the crowning work of the Conference." But aside from this steps have been taken to secure an annotated Bible, which many feel to be quite as important as a unified Bible. Brief notes of a strictly unsectarian character, prepared by a carefully chosen committee representing all shades of creed and requiring unanimity in action, will be appended to the Bible text and offered to the tract societies for publication. The method of selecting translators and annotators was probably the wisest practicable by means of the executive committees elected by ballot. In the final result, there is every prospect of full acquiescence. A committee was chosen for the presentation to the Chinese Government of a statement in regard to the nature and aims of Christianity, thanking it forprotection in the past and asking for the suppression of injurious slanders now circulated semi officially. Another committee was chosen with a view to securing harmonious working in literary effort, arranging for the business management of such matters in a much better way than heretofore. A permanent committee on comity and on division of the field was appointed which may do much towards remedying friction by adopting prophylactic measures. A permanent committee of correspondence has been chosen to serve as a medium between missionaries in China during the interval before the next Con- furence. A committee on opium took that difficult subject into consideration, and was made permanent with a view to continued agitation. Action was taken recommending the discontinuance of the sale of "anti-opium" pills containing morphia. Carefully prepared statistics show that the number of native communicants has increased since 1877 from 13,035 to 37.287, or more than 286 per cent. The contributions of the native Christians only, for 188!) were 536,884.54, or within $1(13 of a dollar a member for all the native communicants in the Umpire. There are 520 organised churches, of which ninety-four are wholly selfsupporting and forty-nine* others partly so. In the sixty-one hospitals and the numerous dispensaries without hospitals were treated in 1889 a total of 348,499 patients. At the close of 18M(J the number of missionaries in China was 1296, and during that year the increase over 1888 was 172. The China Inland Mission alone now numbers 382 members, of whom eighty or ninety attended the Conference. With such a record behind it the Conference was authorized to lift up its voice and call for 1,000 men within the next five years, besides a great increase in the force of lady-workers. The field was never so open, and the work never so hopeful. The preliminary stage of work in China is past. The largest and most important religious gathering ever held in China makes an urgent appeal to Christendom for an increase of labor, of laborers and of prayer for China. The forty-two societies working in this great empire are hut regiments of a common army, and are substantially a unit against heathenism. Ultimate success is as certain as the promises of God.

In August, 1887, I went to New York City and wandered up and down the streets of that great metropolis, with its ten thousand saloons, a man alone without God, trying to get sober anil keep sober. I went to bed hungry many a night. I knew a great many people in the city but never went near them. I was winning the fight very well ; but one morning I got up with that awful feeling of restlessness that is called "appetite for drink." I knew I was to drink that day, yet I made a struggle. I remember I would look at my watch and think, "Now it is seven o'clock; I'll not drink till half-past seven." Then at half-past seven I said, "Not till eight," and so on through the weary hours; I spent the forenoon walk ing up and down from Harlem toward the Battery and back again, hesitating at every saloon door, but passing every one, living desperately half an hour at a time. Such an expenditure of nervous energy could have but one ending; I knew it, but would not yield. It was nearly noon; I was walking up Broadway and heard a band of music coming down. As it came near 1 stood on the edge of the sidewalk to look ami to listen. Back of the band there was a long line of sjilendid carriages with flags and banners, and in the carriages were well-dressed, well kept, comfortable looking men. It seemed some del egation of distinguished visitors. What was it? The saloon-keepers of New York and Brooklyn out for a holiday ! If you had been there, you would have seen nothing hut the band and carriages and the men; but / could see such sights as language fails to picture. You know the way of industrial processions is to carry samples of their handiwork in their parades, and the saloon business is an "industry," men say. In this line there were no samples carried openly, but I could see chained the carriage wheels a countless multitude of men shrieking and struggling, reeling, staggering, stumbling down Broadway, to celebrate the triumph of the drink. Back of these another multitude, more pitiful—of women, Bad-faced ami heavyhearted, dragging on behind, with little wailing children clinging to then skirts or tugging at their barren breasts, and starving, though 'twas a holiday, and from there back, the miaeryofthe pageant shaded off into the light laughter of the tippling boys and thoughtless girls who laughed at drunkenness and wondered at despair. Farther than the eye could reach the long procession stretched away through the great city, over the Harlem river, anil was lust to sight in the pitying woods of Westchester county. I could see at every revolution of the wheel the idol of some woman's heart crushed beyond recognition. Broadway seemed paved with the bodies ol the hundred thousand men who had died drunk in America in the year. And the wheels went crushing over their upturned faces in tin: summer moon. I could see in the smoke that curled up from the cigars of the merry-makers, shreds of burnt food, and books and clothes from the homes of the poor. I could see in the clothing that these men wore, lilver threads, torn from the heads of Buffering mothers, along with man)' Colored threads drawn from the dresses of dispirited ami broken-hearted wives. I could see my own wile among the followers in the line. I could see my own children trampled beneath the wheels. I thought things unutterable! When the music came I was was about giving up the struggle—when I turned from the spectacle, I felt I had grown. My body was erect, my lips compressed, my heart linn, and I knew I would not drink that day; and then and there alone, though jostled by a thousand men, I made a new resolve. My own children might live to be a spectacle in such a procession to the eyes ol other men. What should I do? Wait till the juggernaut had passed over them, then gather up their mangled forma and cany tlie-in to their mother and say, "Here are the boys ?" The thought drove me mad and I said, "Never another instant of waiting, but here anil now I join the men, be they called fanatics or philosophers, who have the bravery to cry aloud and spare not, and lo lay their hands upon the horses' hits and stop the procession, though they be sneered at and though they tlie for it." That's the way I became a ProhibiIn tionist. Let us take care how we speak of those who have fallen on life's field. Help them up—don't heap scorn upon them.

It means the doing of everything you can, and chiefly it means the doing of things that issue out of the heart toward God and man. It means the setting aside of ihe self, and laying out one's best energies in unselfish, not to be requited, service. It means not merely occupation, industry, attainment, but noble industry, occupation, attainment; not merely busy hands, but busy affections, sympathies, purposes. You cannot sum its almost limitless significance. -J. P. \V. Hare. Crokinole is the leading parlor game at the Association rooms.

Watering—Places.— There is no surplus of piety at wateringplaces. 1 never knew anyone to grow rapidly in grace at such summer gatherings. It is generally the case that the Sabbath is more of a carousal than any other day, and there are Sunday walks and Sunday rides and Sunday excursions. Fillers and deacons and ministers of religion, who are entirely consistent at home, sometimes when the Sabbath dawns on them at Niagara Falls or the White Mountains, take the day to themselves. If they go to the Church, it is apt to be what is called a crack sermon, that is, some discourse picked out of the effusions of the year, as the one most adapted to excite admiration; and in those churches, from the way the ladies hold their fans, you know that they are not so much impressed with the heat as with the picturesquenss of half disclosed features. Four puny souls stand in the organ loft, and squall a tune that nobody knows, and worahippera with two thousand dollars worth of diamonds on the right hand, drop a cent into the poor-box with the left, and then the farce is ended.

Y. Cooper of Huahine writes to the Australian Independent of the expected withdrawal of the L. M. S. missionaries from that island, .which has been occupied by the French from Tahiti 100 miles distant. The following extracts are of interest. natives would have had us "spurring" tendency to rapid divergence of type in them on to warlike deeds, and in every any new species at its earliest period way countenancing all that they have said and done in defiance of the French. And they have long said; "The missionaries are French; they are not with us, and therefore must be against us." They point to our advice as proof. They have no more confidence in us, and very little respect for us —try as we will to explain our position from every point of view. So that from the very first days of the later French activity leading up to actual annexation, we have been in the "black books" of our people—that is of seven-eighths of the population. If any are disposed to contrast with this the successful influence of Messrs. Doane and Rand on Ponape in securing the quiet submission of the people to the Spaniards, it should be .borne in mind that from the beginning, no resistance was contemplated by the Ponape people, and arose only after special and extreme provocation. That provocation being withdrawn, the missionaries were able to pacify them. whilefew and scattered. At the earliest period of the human race, for example, various causes, c. g., such as that attributed to Cain, may have sent isolated families into remote wanderings. So isolated, they would easily evolve new and very divergent types of humanity, such as the Kskimo, the Negro, the Mongol, and the Fuskarian. As soon as its habitat filled up, each new type would tend to become permanent through interbreeding of the progeny. We can thus see how important a contribution seems to have been made by Mr. Gulick to the great subject of Involution of Species. His latest exposition of his theory is in the American journal of Science, January, 18110, Article 111. The raising of the French flag on these islands changed altogether the old and free conditions under which the society had so long carried on its work here. Had the change been accepted quietly by the natives, the probability is that we might have remained here as a mission for Borne years more; but a "French atmosphere" is not healthful for a foreign society to breathe, and especially for a society which seeks to have If you've any task to do, let me and use a moral influence over those whisper, friend, to you, do it.

The natives have broken out again on the Spaniards, and killed a Lieutenant and two corporals, and about thirty Manila men, at our place at Ova. They came to Ova May 17, and asked for a place to build. The hill clo;>e by our school was given them, and they started to clear the place, and two weeks after, two priests came and wanted a place to build on, and no other place but the Doane's place close by the church would suit them. They started to build their church about four yards from our church door. Of course we complained to the Governor about it, but they said that that was the only healthy place. So the Governor wrote and told us that they could not have it moved as that was the only healthy place. We could not do or say anything more. June 25th, early in the morning we were awakened with the noise of shouting and shooting. The Lieutenant and his men had just started to their work, and the natives rushed on them and killed them, a few escaping into the woods, and the natives hunting them down like pigs. They not having any arms could not do anything. They left all their arms in the house they were living in, and the natives took them all. When we first heard the noise, Nanpei ran down the hill just in time to save the two priests. He brought them up to our house, and he and his wife saved five Manila men, and a chief saved another, and we kept them all in our house two days and two nights. Those We did were nights of anxiety for not know what minute they would break in and kill them. Our own lives were in danger too, because they were angry with Nanpei for saving them. The second night Nanpei and Mr. Bowker took them quietly from the house down to the shore and out to the reef where the man-of-war was, and they got safely on board. When the news reached the Governor, he sent four armed boats, but they were driven back by the natives, killing two and wounding nine. No Ponapeans got hurt. About five o'clock, the same day, the man-of-war came, and as she was going in the passage, she got on the reef, and they did not get her off till Sunday night. (She got on Wednesday evening). The man-of-war getting on the reef saved a light and the lives of the people we had in the house, and perhaps our own lives too. Now they are going to send to Manila for help. In about four weeks they will have four men-of-war down here. Then they will shell the whole of Matelenim. Poor, poor Ponape will suffer now for their foolish deed. Our work is broken up and we will have to leave the place till it is quiet again. The Governor sent word to all that did not have anything to do with the fight to leave or he would not be responsible for their lives. We are going to Nanpei's place at Kiti to live till the .S7<ir comes. I hope she is about read} to leave Honolulu now. We will begin to look for her the end of August. The Governor has been very kind to us. He offered us a house to stay in and to protect us. We will be safe at Kiti unless the whole island breaks out. The Kiti tribe is quiet now. The Spanish have a station there with about forty men and two priests, and they are quite friendly to them. We do not know the real cause of the tight. A great many blame us for it on account ot our not wanting their church near ours, but it is not true. The Ova people did not start the light, but now they have all joined. The second day after the light I left Ova with ten girls and have been staying here with a friend. I went back once to see Miss Palmer and to plan about going to Kiti. We want to keep the girls with us if possible. Tell Grace not to be anxious about us. The natives say they will not kill any of us. * * With love to you all. Li iv M. Coir.. (Post-marked Manila, Aug. 11.) Letter from Rev. James Kekela of Hivaoa, Marquesas Is. [By Tropit Bird, arrived at San bran cisco Sept. 19. the following letter was received from Mr. Kekela, then on the island of 'Tahiti.' Papeete, August 6th, 1890. Rev. C. M. Hyde: Great love to you, your wife and your children. There has been a long interval in our correspondence. We Hawaiian missionaries in the Marquesas are all well, except Mrs. S. Kauwealoha, who has been invalid and feeble for the past four months, but is now somewhat better ; I saw them at L'apon the first week in July. I am just now here at Papeete, having come to take home my youngest daughter, to be a teacher of French at Hivaoa. She has spent four years in Tahiti, and has become fitted to teach in the French language, having been approved by the inspectors of the French government in Tahiti. In the latter part of June I left Puamau for Nuuhiwa, but finding the vessel had gone to 'Tahiti, I made a friendly visit of a week to the S. Kauwealoha folks at Uapou, then returned to Taiohae, Nuuhiwa, to await the vessel from California. We sailed from Taiohae July 29, reaching Papeete August 2d. I spent a few days here, waiting for passage to Nuuhiwa. I have associated with the French Protestant.missionaries of Pepeete, Mr. Verenie and wife. He is pastor of the native people, who have a fine house of worship. He gave me his pulpit on the Sabbath, and the people rejoiced to bear of God's work in the Marquesas, in Hawaii, and in M'cronesia. These Society Islands were the first to hear the Gospel of Jesus the early teachers are all deceased, and their successors have returned to England, or gone on to Rarotonga, Samoa, Fiji, Solomon's and Papua. The elder people remember the labors of the early missionaries from England. They are well versed in the Bible, to which they devote great attention. There are here some Protestant French missionaries, Mr. Verenie and wife, and Mr. C. Vienot and wife, in whose family my daughter lives, three single ladies being the Protestant teachers. There is also here a Catholic school which some attend. Tahiti and Moorea have long been in French jiossession, as well as the P.oimotu and Marquesas groups. In fighting began between the people of Raiatea and the French war-ships, since which time till now the French ships have stood waiting, without actual firing between the ships and the natives. Last July, the French attacked Huahine, and defeated the natives, raising the French flag. Borabors submitted to French occujiation without resistance. In a short time, Raiatea will have accepted the French tlag. 'The French ships are in great force. A great French ship with the Admiral is now here, 12 days from Honolulu, having arrived about July 30th. The French ship Champlain is also here with the war news from Raiatea, Huahine and Borahora. In the Marquesas, the Lord's work has not progressed as unobstructed!)' as the laborers desire. That all the people might turn to Christ, is the good our hearts desire.

The Marquesas Is. are under French rulers, a French governor, judge, and tax-collector, with French police on the different islands. Some of their doings are good, others not so. 'They make roads, and urge the parents to send then children to school and feed them. 'They live with the Tahitian women without marriage ; so also at Nuuhiwa while in office there. Then returning to Tahiti or to France, they fling away these women ; and the ignorant natives observe these doings of enlightened men from Christian lands. Still we indulge no doubt or sloth in the work of our Lord Jesus. Our minds are hopeful, with the Prayer, "Thy kingdom come, and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Give my love to your students in the Institute, to Rev. L. Smith's household, and the Christian friends in Honolulu, to Mr. Parker, his mother and his sisters. Kaoha nui otou a pao.

It appears that early in August, a severe conflict took place between the French forces and the natives on Raia tea, over one hundred of the latter being slain. Work Among the Portuguese. It will be remembered by our older leaders, that under the labors of Dr. Kalley, a Scotch physician resident at Madeira, many of the Portuguese on THE FRIEND. children, it has come to be associated with such services. A little expense in fitting it up, will make it suitable for the first meetings, though ultimately it is hoped to build a suitable Chapel with adjacent rooms for reading, library, schools, lectures, etc. 'There were about 70 resident Portuguese present at the preaching service at the Armory last Sunday morning, about 80 in the afternoon. The Scripture lessons, read by the whole congregation, and the hymns sung congrcgationally also, were printed on programmes for the occasion. 'The hymn books, ordered from Portugal, were out of print, but are expected to arrive in the next steamer. The wink has begun most auspiciously and we bespeak for it the sympathies and prayers of all interested in the social improvement and development of our PortUgi ese citizens.

At this stage of his sickness the case was considered almost hopeless by all that saw him. He was now taken out of bed, laid upon the floor, and a large bucket of cold water poured upon his head and body, by which a powerful shock was given to the system. He was now laid in bed, and cloths wet in salt water were applied to his head to abate the heat. These measures did not produce immediate good. About a pint and a half of blood was taken from the temporal artery. It was my object to saturate the system with calomel. A blister was also applied to the patient's leg. After having gone about three days and nights without sleep, and being nearly exhausted, he began to doze a little. He still had frequent inclinations to vomit. I then gave a gentle emetic, which did not serve to settle his stomach in the least. His mouth became sore from the use of calomel, but nothing seemed to reconcile his stomach until I applied a large blister over the region of the liver. After this had raised, his efforts to vomit completely subsided, and did not return for some time. He now could take nourishment. His mouth was very sore, but his skin was not so yellow as formerly. I still continued the calomel, though in less doses. I was confident that my patient was convalescent, although the family was unwilling to admit that he was any better. He now began to complain of ringing in the ears, and a difficulty of hearing. About this time a slight cough came on, which lasted several days. About the fourteenth day of his disease his tongue became clean and his complexion clear. Still he was extremely debilitated, and could not sit up only for a very brief time without fainting. His month was very sore and troublesome, and I discontinued the use of calomel. Directed him to use cordials, clove water, bitter wine, with a little bark. He drank a few bottles of Congress water, and took a good supply of suitable food, for which he had a pretty gooil appetite. His deafness, cough, and delirium wore off in the same gradual manner in which his strength returned. In less than four weeks he was able to ride about, and so he went on to full recovery. that island renounced Catholicism. In consequence ol the mob violence aroused against them, some eight hundred left their homes about 1816, voluntary exiles loi conscience sake. A large bod}- of them were invited to Jacksonville, Illinois. In the Portuguese colon}' thus established, and in Springfield, an adjacent city, two Churches (Presbyterian), have been formed, and worship in the Portuguese language maintained.

In our last issue, we made some statements about the King's request to the Legislature to call a Convention to make a new Constitution. Our statements were unsatisfactory to the EVENING Bulletin, which is nowtheregular organ of the National Reform Party. As, after the habit of that paper, its animadversions were only in general terms, carefully abstaining from specific instances, we do not know wherein our offense consisted. Since then, the Special Committee of the House upon that measure have brought in a very full and elaborate Several of report upon the subject. this Committee are members of the National Reform Party, some of whom compose the majority signing the report, and the rest of whom, with one exception, are understood to be in accord with the general conclusions of the Report. It is a somewhat elaborate, and we think, a very able document. Some of its positions and statements so precisely confirm those of our September article, that we have printed extended extracts from the Report, which must carry with it very great weight of authority. Our prediction is substantiated, that while the Legislature may favor some amendments to the Constitution, they will certainly not order an unlawful Convention to do the work. Our friends abroad may well congratulate us on this evidence of stability and good principle being in ascendency in Hawaiian affairs. As we go to press, it has become quiteclear that the sense of the House is wholly against the proposed Convention. Even the King is said to have become alarmed at so democratic a measure. His own royal prerogatives might be no more safe than any of our rights and privileges in the hands of such an irres- ponsible Convention. We deeply regret to hear of the very serious illness of the venerable Mrs. Clarissa Armstrong, now in her eightyfifth year. Some four months since, she was thrown from a carriage at Santa Clara, and has not recovered from the effects of the accident. She was lately removed to her home in San Jose, but continues to decline in strength. We learn.that there is still another survivor besides Mrs. Armstrong of the Averick reinforcement of 1832, Mrs. Spaulding, who returned home a widow, about 1836. THE FRIEND. Rev. C. M. Hyde, D.D., returned to Honolulu on the 19th ult., per Australia, apparently improved by his touring. His labors have, however, been arduous, and the nervous strain severe, in constantly writing to, or interviewing a very large number of persons, in reference to their possible suitableness or willingness to engage in various departments of religious or educational work here. Some workers he secured, who have accompanied him to'the field. Others with whom he has conferred, may yet determine to come. Those who have come to engage in Christian work for the Portuguese, have elsewhere been named. Mr. F, A. Hoamer has come to be President of Oahu College, and Mr. J. (). Woods as Assistant. We greatly regret that no one has yet I een found to assist Dr. Hyde himself in the work of the N. P. Mission Institute. Of all men, Dr. Hyde is himself the one we could least afford to have breaking down from overwork. October. 1890. The Kawaiahao Female Seminary has begun the new school year with 111 pupils. One of the most valued and experienced of the teachers, Miss Hopper, left on the Australia last week, called home by family necessities. The force of teachers is one of unusual ability and experience. Kamehameha Boys' School begins its third year with 120 pupils occupying its dormitories. Mr. Oleson has two lady and five male assistants. There arj also fifty-three young boys in the Preparatory School under the charge of Miss Malone and three lady assistants. We congratulate the Hon. C. R. Bishop and the whole Hawaiian people on the rapid growth and success of these noble schools, which has been such as befits their munificent endowment, and the wise and able management. Rev. T.

Ewa Plantation began This pamphlet of 15 pages is devoted planting the new 650 acres Sept. 15th. to indicating some points in which this The big pump began working, and one Notice of Prof. Jas. A. Dana's eminent specialist on Hawaiian volcanoes differs from the views of Prof. Dana's great work. Without questioning the general high authority of the latter, we still believe that Mr. Green's vastly superior opportunity for study of our volcanoes entitles him to speak with great weight, even in opposition to a geologist of the first rank. Without doubt each of these writers has something to learn from the other. Mr. Green seems to us justified in regarding Dr. Dana as having misconstrued his expressions as to vapors appearing in great amounts over masses of hot lava. Our own careful observation certifies Mr. Green's explanation to be the correct one, in opposition to Dr. Dana, of the cause of the violentexplosions from under the overhanging borders of lava lakes. The lava was visibly flowing towards those points, and plunging down into them, carrying air with it, which becoming superheated, burst back with furious explosions. President Merritt and Mr. J. S. Emerson, who were present, agreed that the movement of the lava was as stated above. We, nevertheless, confess to being stronly impressed by Dr. Dana's arguments in favor of more efficiency of steam in volcanic action than Mr. Green would admit. The uniform and minute distribution of the vesicles does seem to imply a previous molecular union of the water with the lava such as could have taken place only in the depths of the lava column. On the whole there seems to be abundance of room for further study and speculation on that great and fascinating subject, which has been so nobly elucidated by both Prof. Dana and Mr. Green. We hope to make further notice of Prof. Dana's work, after longer examination. The N. P. M. Institute. Dr. Hyde was obliged to leave on his mission to the States before the Institute premises had been put in order. Much yet remains to be done in filling and laying out the grounds in front. Contributions of plants and shrubs are solicited, as also furniture for the rooms and clothing for the students. Rugs, pictures, bureaus, lamps are specially needed for furnishing the rooms: chairs, tables, and bedsteads will not come amiss, as new students are beginning to come in, for whom special arrangements must be made. The Institute will open for the work of the new year October 6. 77 THE FRIEND. well after another was connected with it. In a few days, an enormous stream was pouring out upon the upland from the six wells. The piston of the Blake pump is 36-in. diameter, with 36-in. stroke, with about 35 strokes in a minute. We believe that it lifts ten million gallons in 21 hours. The height raised is about 35 feet. The night pumping goes into a storage reservoir of large capacity, whose contents will be distributed in the day-time. The pumping is quite a spectacle, and attracts many visitors from the city, who run down and back by train in three bonis.

Once again the Secretary was absent during the arrival of reinforcements. But we judge that the brethren took it good naturedly. and excused him on the ground that in the discharge of his duties he cannot be in two places at once. And what a reinforcement for Hawaii ! Three earnest Christian workers, equally ready in English or Portuguese. Three trained leaders who have seen somewhat of both the Romish and the Protestant civilizations. They can tell a story worth hearing. At last we have an evangelical mission to the Portuguese established in Honolulu. Though no American laborer has yet been secured for the Chinese work, yet it is hoped that we may soon have a Chinaman in the field who is fluent in both English and Chinese, and who is a trained worker and an evangelist. We understand that he has been a successful leader in the Chinese mission at Los Angeles. His case is to come up before the Board at the next meeting. Mr. Frank Damon, the Superintendent of the Chinese Mission, is under treatment at Clifton Springs, N. V., a place whither so many overworn brain workers have resorted with great benefit to themselves. The plan there is to give nature a chance to do her own work of restoration. The best medical aid is furnished. The place is a home, and we understand that Mr. Damon is undergoing a regular course of treatment, and is in a fair way of speedy recovery. The Hawaii Pastors' Aid Society is— we think we are not premature in saying—an accomplished fact. Payments are to begin in January, and are to cover the last quarter of the current year. There are seven native churches in need of immediate aid, and for three more as soon as Pastors are found for them, aid will be required. This help comes none to. jon. Men are in the fiefd who have been fairly starved. One man was starved out and had to go to the seashore to bsh and get something to eat. .And \et this man has a good home in another district, and a tract of land where he could support himself in c< mfort.

"Yes, if I can get my wife to go with me." 79 THE FRIEND. Fact is she has so suffered from hunger in that O parsonage that she really dreads going back to it.

Fuller, - - Vacation. Editor. Another ride of about twenty miles had for its destination "Rose Ranch," at Ulupalakua. This was for many years a large and prosperous sugar plantation, with all its appointments on a grand scale; where cane could not grow a vast number of trees of many varieties were planted; plants and flowers tilled the yards with beauty and adorned the numerous cement walks which lead about in all directions. The number and size of cement cisterns for storing water still to be seen will astonish the average visitor. This was at one time the most elaborate and attractive establishment on these islands. It is now used as a stock ranch, where one may see some fine cattle and many things of interest, yet the place as a whole is little more than a ruin of its former beauty. The road over which we passed runs through an interesting portion of country dotted with the cottages of natives and several foreign nationalities, engaged in small farming and stock-raising. An extensive line of corn fields, aggregating about 2,000 acres, gave promise of a good harvest. The finest potatoes we have eaten in the country are raised in laige quantities far up the mountain side, above the corn belt in Kula. These lands are largely leased and cultivated by Chinese and Portuguese. Just as the days of our outing were being numbered we were happily surprised by receiving from the Board of Directors a generous extension of two weeks time for further recruiting. This was used with capital results, and we ha\e returned with greatly renewed vigor and courage to take up the work Master in the interest of the many •. >ung men in our city who need His saving help. The Association, at its business meeting in July, kindly voted their General Secretary a leave of absence for a month, to be spent where he should choose in Monday, much-needed recuperation.

To be found hunting around for a breakfast of ham and eggs on coming from a steamer's deck instead of a rocking chair or a bed lounge was quite a new and unheard-of experience for at least one happy passenger on that charming morning. Our longing gaze turned upward along the gentle slopes of Haleakala, inspired by the grandeur of the scene and the memory of how, four years ago, we were one of a happy company who found not only a month of rest and pleasure, but new energy and strength for the work of life while riding and climbing that grand old mountain side. From Kahului the little iron horse went puffing along over the sands and red dirt which fortunately had been well wet down during the previous night. and we were soon at Paia.

The Report of the Select Committee on the Bill, is clearly show* by its prompt accep- provision in the present Constitution as Presented to the Legislature. tance on the part of the nation, and the with regard to ami ndments is identical im- with that of the former constitution and To the Hon. J. S. WALKER, President fact that every voter in the country Had the which worked to the evident CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. of the Legislature of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Sir:—The select committee to which was referred Bill No. 125, entitled -'An Act to convi tie delegates to frame a ConBtitutionfoi the Hawaiian Kingdom," and several other proposed amendments to the Constitution and acts relative thereto, report upon the first of said bills as follows: *"In treating the * question * ofthe urgent * oui constitutional law and whether there has been violence done to private or public right, it is well to compare the Constitution under which the country was governed from 18*54 to 1887 with that of 1887. It is remarkable, in examining the two constitutions, to find what few changes have, in point of fact, been made. It lly BUpposed that Hawaii was a Constitutional Monarchy, and it was only on account of the corruption and misgovern ment which it was seen was possible under the Constitution of 1864 that a demand, very nearly universal, was instituted for a change, and the change winch the country di manded was not in our form of government, but such a change as sb. uid assure to us constitutional representative government in fact as well as in name. It required but few changes to accomplish this, and these changes were accomplished by the Constitution of 1887, which was the result of a universal demand on tl of the people. Therefore, in a comparison of the two constitutions, we find that the changes which have been made Specifically define the powers of the King: make the Cabinet responsible in fact to the people through the Legislature; and takes from the King the naming of.one. and gives to the people the election of the two branches of the Legislature. It also takes away the power which might exist with a corrupt government to maintain itself and to perpetuate a wicked government by corrupting the legislative body with the offer of public offices. This latter principle is recognized in other constitutional countries. In England*, it is a matter unheard of to permit government officers to interfere in an)- manner with elections, and. in the same manner, no member of Parlianient can be purchased by the gift of an office under the Crown. The Constitution of 1887, exactly as much as that of 1864, maintains Hawaii as a constitutional monarchy, and the provisions to guard the throne are specific and clear in their nature. The Constitution of the United States and of many of the States recognizes the same principle with regard to the legislature and office-holding as is set forth in our Con- necessity for a change in mediatclv swore to sustain it. people universally or in ■ large majority objected to this Constitution and refrained from taking the oath to support it, it is needless to say that the position would have been so embarrassing that a new Constitution or radical revision ot ;he one promulgated would have been an absolute necessity.' If the government had been so corrupt that it were evident thai the Constitution were incomplete or that, under its provisions, corruption and misgo\ ■eminent could and great wrong be done, then some cause would exist for the outcry which has been made bj few against it. The real cause of the outer) which, at the present time, undoubtedly is made by S large number of people in the Kingdom comes from the fact that the prejudices of the ignorant and that the worst of all prejudices, race jealousy, have been aroused by a false and wicked appeal to that sentiment. It is not true to say that the native Hawaiian is deprived of an}- rights by the Constitution. He not only retains all the rights which he ever had, but, by our new fundamental law, he obtains rights which he never had, and tha mere proposition to giant which, a few years ago, would have been looked upon as an idle dream. It is not true to say that the Hawaiian is not entitled to vote for Nobles. The list of voters for Nobles throughout the Kingdom will show that half, it' not more, of the list is made up of Hawaiians. The object sought to be obtained in representative government is to prevent rash and hasty legislation by having one department of government act as a check and balance tothe other, and, in the legislative department, this end is sought to be obtained by the institution of two branches of the Legislature which shall be so dissimilar in their origin and nature as to still further check and control the enactment of laws. The lesson taught to us by hisl that any country which is governed by the representatives of one class only of Ople Boon becomes the prey to illdevised, bast\- and injurious laws. To prevent such an issue was the object striven for by the framers of the Constitution of 1:887. All of the men in the country possessed of ordinary intelligence practically are entitled to vote for one branch of the legislature. In order to insure a conservative element therein the other branch is elected by those whose possession of property or the receipt of a moderate income indicates intelligence of more than an ordinary nature, sobriety, industry, skill and conservative tendencies, and yet the real object which is apparently sought by those who would have a new constitution framed for the country is to break provisions advantage of all the people. This provision is amply sufficient to rectify ordinary Wrongs or inconveniences or to do away with any clanger hich appears to be imminent in the future. To overturn the Constitution by providing a new one in any other manner is revolution, and revolution is justifiable only on the ground that the law and the government has become' so corrupt that the people have an overwhelming cause of complaint; that they are subject to aggrievancei and abuses that cannot be borne, and for which there is no remedy except the overturning of the Government and the Constitution). A glance at the condition of the counts and the position of the inhabitants thereof shows at once that no such causes exist, and that there is no reason why a Constitutional Convention should be called if the object be merely to furnish relief for grievances. -, * * » # � The country was never more prosperous than now; business never more flourishing; the public health and education were never better cared for; perfect tranquility and peace would prevail excejit for the efforts of a few demagogic agitators who have stirred up the ignorant to believe that they now suffer wrongs that are intolerable, but which are, in fact, largely imaginary and do not exist. It is perfectly safe to say that nine out of even' ten of those who are supposed to desire a change in the Constitution, in order to protect them from wrong and restore to them rights taken away, do not know what the provisions of the Constitution are, nor do the)- know what the supposed rights are which they claim have been taken away. With regard to the delegation which went to His Majesty the King, asking for a new Constitution, it does not appear that they were delegates elected by the people generally, nor that the}- represented an_v one. except in a few instances, but themselves; nor did they represent the influential and representative people in the districts. The petitions sent to the Legislature bear evidence of having been gotten up by paities in Honolulu for the purpose of creating an excitement upon the question and sent to other districts for signatures. It is not true that in any respect the honor and dignity of the Sovereign have been humiliated or lessened by the Constitution. It is not true that any rights have been taken from any portion of the people. It is not true that such a radical change has been made in the government of the country as to affect, in any injurious manner, the rights of any one portion of the whole people. To pass the proposed bill will be sim- �82 THE FRIEND. ply to continue and even to increase the state of uncertainty and injury to public business and the general prosperity of the country which exists while constitutional changes are being urged. Should this bill become a law, for the next year or probably longer the whole country would be thrown into a state of feverish excitement, uncertainty and anxiety; business would be stagnated; works oi public improvements could not go on; Government officers would find their business largely interlered with; the Ministers and a large force of officers would be required to give time and attention to the various details attending the elections and the convention, and last, but not least, a great expense would be entailed upon the country which is not justifiable by any facts which now exist. To say nothing of the legal questions . involved, which are more particularly treated below, the authorization of a constitutional convention at the present time would be an exceedingly bad precedent for future guidance, for if the constitution of the country could be overhauled and remodeled or entirely revised every time the Legislature saw fit to authorize a constitutional convention, there is no telling where the dis- position to overhaul and revise would stop. [The illegality of the proposed Convention is then discussed, with extended citations of authorities.] Without citing further authority upon this point, your committee are of the opinion that the bill which has been submitted to us cannot be enacted and become law without a plain and flagrant violation of the principles of the Constitution which is now the law in this country. Without reporting at length at the present time upon the other matters referred to the committee, we desire to state that we are unanimous in support of amendments to the constitution, such amendments as we may deem necessary and this Legislature may pass upon.

In these Islands, and notably in Ho nolulu, there are considerable numbers of delightful homes, where households of very happy and lovely children are growing up under an unusually wise and careful training. These homes .tie generally those of devout Christian fathers and mothers. There are some such homes where Christian faith is absent, yet Christian morals rule, and Christian fidelity and tenderness prevail. Many elements have contributed to favor this development of the Christian home in Hawaii. Social exigencies and claims have been less exacting than in larger communities, and the time of parents has been more easily secured for the claims of the home. The absence of the home in our sense among native Hawaiians, with the fatal consequences thereof, has induced especial guard and care of the home among the enlightened classes. Contributing to the good result, has been the presence among us of many English and German families of the better class, people careful of home training, and experienced in it. Greatest of all has been a powerful and pervading Christian culture, generating and maintaining an active sense of parental responsiblity for the spiritual culture of offspring, and of wise conduct tending thereto. Such happy homes have a productive contagiousness, like beautiful gardens, inciting the passers-by to cultivate in like beauty their own home plots. The children of such culture will become in turn wise, loving parents of beautiful families growing up in Christian nurture. Herein, to our view, is perhaps the highest hope for the social and spiritual future of Hawaii, a large body of the coming generation, who are being imbued and inspired from earliest years with the love of all that is pure, lovely and holy. Many of them may be swept away by evil influences, but the great body of them will abide true to what is right and pure. And many may be expected to become active and devoted leaders for the truth. To all this brightness and beauty of home life in Hawaii there lies adversely, a contrasting shadow and a menacing blight. There is a recking morass of social leprosy lying broadly alongside of what is so lovely, like the foul saltmarshes adjacent to sweet gardens at VVaikiki. There are the saloons with their diabolic magnetism, dragging such a throng of our capable young men down into hopeless dissoluteness. Even among our purest homes, there appear wayward youths who seem to defy the most prudent and earnest mouldings and guidings of parental love. Some untoward current of evil has seized upon them. Some vicious quality of ancestry has come to the surface in them, by the law of atavism. Such youth are often of bright and attractive natures, and draw others of their own circles into evil. We need not dwell upon the shadows, nor multiply instances. Parental solicitude will not fail to be active. The deep pleading cry will ever go up for ourselves and for our children: "Our Father, lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from the Evil One." NUMHER 11. ance Cause here. Nor could there be one more earnest, loving or persistent "in their good work. There has been undoubtedly as intimated by the Secretary, a feeling during the past year, of discouragement and partial apathy in this work. We have all felt it. We have been almost content, if we could only hold our ground against the saloons, and prevent them, if possible, from extending and increasing their destructive work. We thank God that thus far, they have not succeeded. The year has been one of reactionary tendency in politics. The opponents of Prohibition and of the Sabbath have been much emboldened. The supporters of Reform have been confined to the defensive; they have had to fall behind the more solid entrenchments of a radical and deep rooted sound public sentiment, which have so far resisted the efforts of the enemy to overcome. Public interests of even profounder consequence than those of Temperance have been threatened, but now seem likely to remain secure. Such a year has not been suited to aggressive work. We may be very grateful that we have been enabled to "hold the fort" thus far, while radical political issues were in contest. Death of Eldress Phof.be. —We join in the lament for the sudden de- cease of this noble woman, so long prominent in labor for the elevation of the daughters of Hawaii. A multitude of Hawaii looked up to her as a Mother. We remember her when first among us twenty-five years ago as Sister Phoebe. Although with little personal acquaintance, we knew her face as an attractive one, and indicating a marked and decided personality. Eldress Phoebe had been (for forty years, we believe) a leading member of the Davenport Sisterhood founded by Miss Sellon.and always wore the dress of the order. She had long presided over St. Andrews' Priory, the excellent Anglican The Temperance Cause in Hawaii. Boarding School for Girls.

We have been acquainted with all the four successive Morning Slurs, have admired such excellencies as they possessed, and have heard much of their many and serious defects in both plan and construction. But we have never seen anything in that line that we so thoroughly admired as this beautiful little yacht. She is 57 feet in length over all, 16 feet of water. beam, and draws eight She is about 27 tons burthen, is schooner rigged, carrying gaff-topsails, staysail and flying jib. There is a partially raised deck of two feet high eiver the cabin, which extends beyond the midships. At the forward end of the cabin is the galley, separated from the former by the water- tanks serving as a bulkhead. The cabin is quite spacious and well furnished, being about as comfortable as the average accommodations on the better class of our inter-island coasting schooners twenty or thirty years since. Her lines are beautiful, and whole appearance graceful. She seems admirably planned, and adapted to the service for which she is designed. The reasons of the superior planning and execution of the A'. IF. Lagan over that of the successive Morning Stars are obvious ones. It is not merely or chiefly the superiority of the ship building of California to that of New England, although that has much to do with it. It is chiefly because the man who was to run her, and who was intimately acquainted with the needs of her missionary passengers, was allowed not only to watch her building, but to dictate what her internal arrangements and furnishing should be. Had Capt. Bray while at the East, been similarly allowed to superintend and dictate in the construction and arrangement of the present very defective Morning Star, she would have been a good sailer, with proper machinery, and with the essential equipment of a donkey engine, for the lowering and hoisting of boats, sails, and anchors, during her many scores of stoppages in each voyage. What a joy and inspiration it will be to dear Mrs. Logan and her young associates at Ruk to have this beautiful little yacht all at their service in evangelizing the many islands and islets where the Mortlock and Ruk language is spoken. Capt. Worth will also gladden them with three months' later mails than those taken by the Star in July. He will approach his old home in Ponape with deep anxiety for the outcome of the very serious troubles on that island. 83 THE FRIEND. Romanes' Estimate of J. T. Gulick. A communication by Mr. Gulick to Nature of April 16, 1866, is introduced by a letter from Prof. Geo. J. Romanes, in which he says,"I cannot allow the present communication to appear in these columns without again recording my conviction that the writer is the most profound of living thinkers upon Darwinian topics, and that the generalizations which have been reached by his twenty years of thought are of more importance to the theory of evolution, than any that have been published during the post-Darwinian period." An article by Prof. Romanes is republished in the Ma:iist, entitled "Mr. A. R. Wallace On Physiological Selection." In a private letter to the editor, Prof. Romanes writes, "The article refers to a completely new departure in the theory of evolution, striking in the principle of homogamy, the root-principle erf the whole, and in physiological selection, one of the main branches. Yet neither principle has so far been perceived except by Mr. Gulick." The article charges Mr. Wallace with singular misconceptions of the views both of Prof. Romanes and of Mr. Gulick. We have also before us a pamphlet of seventy pages, extracted from the Linnean Society's Journal, read before that Society, Dec. 19, 1886, and entitled "Intensive Segregation, or Divergence through Independent Transformation. By Rev, f. T. Gulick. It is evidently a product of profound study and reflection, as well as of intimate acquaintance with writers on Biology and Evolution. A marked feature of this, as well as Mr. Gulick's other essays on his specialty, is a most elaborate and intricate terminology, necessary, as he claims, for the proper discrimination of the various forces, proeess'es, and conditions determining evolution of Varieties and Species. So far as our limited ability to judge extends, his distinctions seem to be thoroughly philosophical, and the fruit of exhaustive study of his subject. He supports his theories by an extensive adduction of facts, not only from the Oahu snails, but from flora and fauna elsewhere. Mr. Gulick's style is perspicuous, although not as attractive as those of Romanes or Wallace, whose writings are, comparatively, easy reading. A Card of Thanks. strangers in a strange land, and followed by your loving gifts, first of a sheltering and agreeable abode and then also furnishing it with all that is necessary to make a pleasant and comfortable home, will never be forgotten by either of us. We would also manifest our gratitude to the loving Father in Heaven Who is the Source of "every good and perfect gift." We pray Him that in proportion to the reward He has promised for a cup of cold water given in His name, so, may He bless each one who has directly or indirectly contributed to our comfort here. And now our most earnest desire and daily prayer is that God may so help us and use this home, that it may in all things be a missionary home, and that from it such influence shall go out into the neighborhood and to all the Portuguese in these Islands as will be for the uplifting and salvation of our benighted people; to the glory of Redeeming Grace and the rejoicing of our fellowlaborers in Gospel Evangelization.

Besides these, are on Hawaii the Hilo Boys' Boarding School and the Kohala Female Seminary at Makawao, and on Kauai the new Industrial Boarding School at Koloa. All these twelve schools represent a very large amount of beneficence on the part of individuals and Associations, continued and ever increasing through a period of nearly thirty years. This benevolent effort has been most wisely and economically administered. It has produced a copious harvest of fruit in the great numbers of Hawaiian youth educated and trained for pure and serviceable life, and in the very considerable number of worthy Christian households among the people. This is the only reward looked for, and it has been an ample one, richly recompensing all the effort and cost. There has been, however, another and a very precious reward in the form of a social benefit. For the work of these schools, there has been carefully selected and brought into this country a large body of the choicest class of Christian teachers of both sexes, but the majority of them ladies. We cannot give the precise number of men and some influence. Who can doubt that the character of the Kamehameha School and its teachers is powerfully and healthfully felt by every school in the kingdom? Capt. Bray and His Friends. We all greatly enjoyed the short and visit we had from our old friend, so long going and coming here as the able and esteemed master of the Morning Star. His companions were also most welcome, as representatives of Sunday School and Y. M. C. A. work. We cannot envy these gentlemen their seventeen days tossing in the little yacht, even in such excellent company, and good Christian fellowship. But we believe Madam Pele gave them a firstclass reception at Kilauea, and they seemed to be having a good time in Honolulu. We think they will vote their steamer passage home as better than that in a small schooner.

His assistant wishes to return to Japan "to convert his old mother's soul." Filial feeling is strong among the Japanese, as well as the Chinese. The young man, expected from San Francisco as an assistant for Okabe, had made other engagements, which precluded his accepting the invitation sent him by the Hawaiian Board. The continued illness of Mr. F. W. Damon, the Superintendent of the Chinese Mission, is a disappointment to his many friends, who had hoped for a speedier recovery, rather than a merely gradual improvement. There is no retrograde movement, however, thus far, in the work he has so thoroughly organized. No one has yet been found to take charge of the mission premises at Hilo. Miss Ostrom's school at Kohala is making steady progress, numMrs. bering now thirty eight pupils. Simpson's school at Wailuku is doing good work. The Chinese teacher, employed in the Chinese department, has applied for baptism. Miss Nellie Waterhouse, who has been such an enthusiastic and successful assistant teacher, will continue on with the Honolulu Boys School for some time longer. Miss May Green, the indefatigable Principal, reports a gratifying increase in numbers. Several Christian Chinese with their wives returned by the S. S.

We sympathize deeply with the bereaved husband and his motherless children. But we mourn not as those who have no hope, for Mary had chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her. She gave her heart to Christ in early childhood. Unostentatious, and but little known beyond the circle of her own family and Church and Sabbath School, she was a worthy example of a Christian daughter, wife and mother. Dying in the full possession of her faculties, she gave each member of her family a parting message of love. The funeral services were held in the old mission Church.

During these five years, the body of lava has been slowly rising in the shaft from the central fires below. Of late, it has begun copiously to overflow, with the attendant foamings and explosive belchings which characterize its periods of more splendid activity. This may continue for years with increasing violence and splendor. Or a subterranean break may speedily occur, draining the shaft of its lava. On the whole, we may say that visitors to the volcano during the next six months have the highest probability of witnessing volcanic displays of exceptional activity. With a wet season, such as is probably at hand, the foaming action at the summit erf the lava column must be much increased, owing to the increased penetration of water into the fires at lower depths. Do you suppose that if the Bible had been written by some learned doctor, revised by a committee of eminent divines and published by some great religious society, we should ever have heard of Noah's drunkenness, of Abraham's deception, of Lot's disgrace, of Jacob's cheating, of Paul and Barnabas' quarreling, or of Peter's lying, cursing, dissembling ? Not at all. The good men, when they came to such an incident, would have said, "There is no use saying anything about that. It is all jiast and gone; it will not help anything, and it will only hurt the cause." If a committee of such eminent divines had prepared the Bible, you would have had a biography of men whose characters were patterns of piety, and propriety, instead of pom sinners, as they were. Sometimes a man writes his own diary and happens to leaves it for some one to print after he is dead; but he leaves out all the mean tricks he ever did, and puts in all the good acts he can think of; and you read the pages, filled with astonishment, and think, "What a wonderful good man he was !" But when the Almighty writes a man's life he tells the truth about him; ahd there are not many persons would want their lives printed if the Almighty wrote them. It seems that we were in error when in our last number we said that the Kauai Boarding .School is "backed with a good supply of capital." It has gen erous friends who stand read)' to help it, but the money has to be given before it can be used,and in these times ofretrenchment there is danger that the bearing of the burden of support may be left too exclusively to the few. The aim of this school is certainly a noble one. II we might be permitted to state it, we should say that it is to train Hawaiians for home life. As is well known there is very little refined home life among the bulk of the Hawaiians. Too few of their sons and daughters have been trained for it. In the conduct of the affairs of the house hold, in the behavior of husband and wife, of son and daughter, and of visiting friends of both sexes; in short, in the social intercourse of this people there is a marked lack. This school proposes to bring the boys and girls together so far as is fitting in their school life, and so train them to live in the happy and proper enjoyment of each other's society.

Honolulu shipped more than 100,000 bunches of bananas to San Francisco in 188i). The export this year is still larger. The cost of the fruit delivered at the ship is about one dollar a bunch. This gives a pretty fair profit to the producers. On average banana land, about fifteen hundred salable bunches per acre can be cropped in three years. But only very good soil, abundantly watered, will produce bananas at all. We have known bottom land of exceptional richness, to yield one thousand good bunches per annum, for many years in succession. Most land requires rest, after.three years cropping of bananas. Much absurdity has been published about the productiveness of this fruit. We believe that quite as much nutriment can be obtained to the acre from corn, potatoes, turnips, squashes, or cabbages, as from bananas. With the extension of the Oahu Railway to Koolau, the available area for banana culture will be greatly increased. As only bunches of a given size are accepted for export, there are on all the plantations, during the third year after planting, quantities of inferior bunches sold for home consumption at low prices.

This page is devoted to the interest-. »>f the Hawaiian Hoard af K.MtOft>. and the Editor, appointed Of the Hoard is responsible for its contents. Rev. O. P. Emerson, - Editor. Last week (the 24th of Sept.) our brethren of the Portuguese mission took possession of their new home on Miller street, just west of the Queen's Hospital. The premises were bought not lonn since by the Hawaiian Hoard. The house has been repaired and furnished, and made into a comfortable dwelling. Beside it we hope soon to see a chapel where the Portuguese congregation which has been gathered, shall find a church home. The Sabbath services will for the present continue to be held in the Armory. Here, for the last six weeks, Mr. Fires has preached to interested audiences, hold ingboth morn in gaud afternoon services and a Sabbath School. On the 13th, an evening school was opened by Mr. Baptist, in a building on the Gon selves premises, opposite 108 Heretania street. Mr. Baptist has thirty one pupils. The Hilo school, we are glad to say, amount to $8,309.35. But the expendi tures have been heavy. Unusual grants means to be an industrial school. It is in aid have been called for and made coming to be felt by us all that the Hato needy Hawaiian pastors. The build waiians are in need of nothing so much ings of the Kohala Girls' School have as to be taught to be handicraftsmen been remodeled and enlarged, and the school has been started with a larger corps of teachers. The mission among the Portuguese has taken a heavy out lay in introduction of workers and in purchase and repair ofpremises. The work among the Chinese requires over 1,100 a quarter. Por its continuance there is but a small sum on hand ($172), outside of the $500 that was given with the first purpose in view of securing an assistant for the superin- tendent. The Japanese work on Hawaii calls for a yearly expenditure of $1000. Thus it is plain that the Board is in immediate and pressing need of funds. The income has never been so great as during the last year, but the expenditures have also been great, and they are increasingly so. We have two new missions in the field, for besides the Portuguese, we have a Japanese mission now on Hawaii of our own. What we have been wishing for has come, a new departure in work.

Most of the book teaching is done by the principal and her assistant. Tins leaves Mi. Terry alone in charge of the industrial department. He has on his hands the care of both the shop and the field work, as well as the general oversight of the boys in and out of their dormitories. The charge is too confining. It continues from early morning till late at night. Mr. Terry needs an assistant in his department—a man to take charge of the dormitories and to lead in the field work. We do not ask for the elaborate fixings of the Kamehanieha School. But we do ask for a moderate outiit. We do ask that Mr. Terry be granted a little leverage, and that his ready ingenuity be not left to supply all deficencies. Not long since he was seen in his carpenters shop with a dozen or so boys. There were several things for them to do, but they had to take turns, for the proper quantity of tools and machinery were lacking. One hammer served several boys; about the lathe only two could be employed at one time, and so on. The job that day was to evolve a machine by which some of the boys could be helped at their work. And it is evident that the school needs another teacher. One man and two ladies are not enough for the care of fifty boys. The same person might also well be a musical leader. With the right man for an assistant and with a little fuller supply of machinery and with the money to pay for it, the Hilo School could offer Hawaiian boys the best of a manly Christian training. To get upon this basis we are making a push for the $10,000 asked, of which $1,500 have already been raised. $8,500 more, and the work will have been achieved, and the Hilo School with a $30,000 endowment will then be on a good running basis. Is not the case hopeful, and is this not a fair and strong appeal for those who can to give ? Some have given nobly, others might do likewise. You are hereby asked to do so. A. FJudd, tion W. W.

Our first social gathering since vacation was held in the hall on Tuesday evening, Oct. 33d. This was given as a Social Reception to Capt. Bray and the young men who came with him from S. F. on the "K. W. Logan." The platform and front of the hall was decorated with potted palms and ferns, hanging green and flowers. The hall was quite well filled with a pleasant company including several strangers. Mr. T. R. Walker, President of the Association made a few opening remarks, and introduced the General Secretary, who announced the following musical programme: Chorus—Hail Hawaii ..Kamehameha Glee Club. Piano Soi.o Miss Carrie Castle. Sono—Should He Upbraid.. ..Miss S. R. Patch Chorus —Thou Art My Own I.ove Kamehameha Glee Club. The above numbers were rendered with artistic skill, and to the great pleasure of all present. The words of welcome extended by the President and Secretary, were happily responded to byCaptain Bray of Oakland, and Mr. C. M. Campbell of Sacramento. The remainder of the evening passed quickly and pleasantly, while participating in ice-cream and cake, and social conversation. Sunday Evening Service. The gospel service of song and testimony held in our hall on Sunday evening is growing in interest and attendance. The meetings during the last month have been among the best we ever had, yet there is room for morefaces and more voices. Come, and bring a friend; there are young men enough in the city to fill the hall. The singing has been greatly improved under the able and stirring leadership of Mr. Richards, who continues to give us the aid of his presence and voice, although his duties upon that day have become increasingly heavy. The meeting is held at 6;30 for threequarters of an hour, and the topics for the month are as follows: Nov. 2—The Light of the World. 8:12. John Nov. 9—Starved on Husks. Luke 15:16-21. Eccl. 11:9.

In fact, with the surrounding brotherhood, quick and pleasant means of transit, it is the thing to be expected, and hardly excites remark. I!ut there is one General Secretary, twenty-one hundred miles out in the Pacific Ocean who is quite differently circumstanced. So it is no wonder that on the forenoon of Oct. 18th, when it become known that the little schooner "Robert W. Logan" had anchored in the harbor with a small pleasure party on board, consisting of live Y. M. C. A. workers from California, that this isolated Secretary lost no time in getting on board to exchange greetings and extend a cordial welcometo both old and new friends. The party consisted of Captain Isaiah Bray, Gen eral Secretary, and A. N. Breed and U. P. Alexander, members, of the Oakland Y. M. C. A. C. M. Campbell, ex-President of the Sacramento Association, and Philip Dodge of Santa Cruz. As the little schooner ''Logan" was to pro ceed on her wa}' to Micronesia for missionary work, commanded by Captain Worth, the return trip of the young men to S. F. was to be made in the "S. S. Australia." On the trip down they visited the Island of Hawaii and enjoyed its attractions, which included pouring rains and a fine view of the volcano tires, which were fortunately at their best. So the week that remained before the steamer would sail was to be devoted to the metropolis—Honolulu and its suburbs. On Sunday, the young men visited the native churches, assisted in the Y. M. C. A. meeting, and in the evening, conducted a very interesting service in the Central Union Church, by invitation of the pastor, Dr. Beckwith. I'lie days that followed were too few and short to see and enjoy all there was in slore, but the time was well utilized and pleasant menioi ies remain as the heritage of absent friends. Since the introduction of the electric light into our building, the comfort in the rooms is greatly increased, especially in the hall, which can now be much better ventilated than formerly, and the lighting is so much improved as to make our hall the pleasantcst room in the city tor an evening's entertainment. Mr. T. S. Southwick, our efficient Treasurer, has dropped his pen and turned his back on business, for a three months' trip to his home in Southern California. A change and rest was greatly needed, and we hope the best possible results will follow. Mr. R. B. Ferguson has been appointed Acting Treasurer during the absence of Mr. Southwick. We expect to have a series of "Familiar Talks' ready to announce soon. Also some "Practical Talks" to young men only, will be forthcoming in the immediate future. Due notice will be given in the daily papers. cI onsider that man to be undone who is insensible to shame.—Plautus.

Cost at Kamehameha School. The public as well as the patrons of will doubtless be interested to learn what it costs to educate a boy in this school, and how small a share of this cost, comparatively, is met by the parents or guardians of pupils. Let us consider what this training comprises. It comprises, first of all, class-room instruction covering the whole range of common English branches. Again, it comprises shopwork instruction according to most approved methods of manual training. It comprises, also, by training in industrious habits, whereby each boy in school has regular employment for a set time each day. It comprises, likewise, a training in orderly and systematic methods in the care of clothing, dormitories, and general appearance of buildings. It comprises a wholesome physical development as to food, which is abundant and of good quality, as to exercise which is regular, and as to facilities and regulations bearing on cleanliness. It moreover comprises a patient and watchful training in morals and manners which seeks to impart strength of character and to purify and invigorate the heart with high thoughts and worthy motives. But it is a large sum, when it is considered that this amount is given outright toward the expenses of each and every boy attending Kamehameha School. The sum of $40 paid by each pupil per year does not pay for his food. It amounts, in a school year of forty weeks, to a charge of one dollar per week for food, which is a small rate, when it is considered, that a boy's expenses at home for food would be quite as much if not more. In other words, a boy in Kamehameha School, paying one dollar a week, is given a pleasant room by himself, comfortably furnished; abundant and wholesome food, nicely served ; shop-work that gives him manual skill and preparation for earning his living ; class-room instruction that is carefully followed up in the shops and on the play-ground ; and a general physical, intellectual, and moral training that any boy might well be grateful for. Or to put it another way, it costs $170 per year to educate a boy in Kamehameha School, of which sum the boy only pays a little less than one-fourth, and the School a little more than three- Kamehameha School fourths. The type of training calls for men and women who must be resident on the premises snd whose kindly bearing and influence shall be always salutary and helpful. It requires an expenditure for material in the conduct of the workshops which naturally adds to the cost of the training given. In numberless ways, this attempt to train Hawaiian boys all around, calls for an outlay in dollars and cents that the simpler routine of ordinary boarding schools does not require.— Handicraft. THhL oneuli owlands. The new Ewa Plantation is located upon a gently sloping plain which lies eastward of the S. W. end of the Waianae mountain ridge. This sloping plain extends from the base of the mountain to the edge of the great coral flat which is some three miles wide to the sea. The plain itself is about two miles wide from mountain to coral at its eastern end, lessening to half a mile in width at its western end, and contains about 2500 acres of excellent arable land, below an elevation of 150 feet. Beyond the mountain point, the Plantation hold a large additional tract of similar land. A field of seventy-five acres planted with cane for seed has demonstrated the soil on this slope to possess an extraordinary fertility. Most persons have supposed this plain to have been the result of the alluvial washings from the adjacent mountain, whose many ravines still discharge the water of storms upon the plain. An attentive observation, however, discloses the fact that the plain is not to any extent, the product of alluvial deposit. It is the product of a succession of vast showers of volcanic ashes and cinders ejected at different times from neighboring cinder-cones. Of such cinder or tufa-cones, there are three large, and two small ones, in a line of four miles along or slightly above the southern base of the Waianae range. It is owing to the enormous masses of ejectamenta of these cones that this end of the mountain lies in rounded slopes, instead of sharp weather worn ridges, like the rest of the range. The same showers of volcanic ejectamenta, falling upon the coral reefs, built up the Honouliuli sloping plain, highest, nearest to the mountain, whence the cinders were exploded far aloft to cover all the adjacent country. An inspection of the bluff's near the pumping station discloses the structure of the upland to be in successive strata of somewhat ancient volcanic ejecta, composed of tufa, decomposed cinders, and boulders of all sizes, often cemented together. These boulders and pebbles were evidently torn off the sides of the eruptive fissures, rounded by the furnace heat and grinding collision in which they were hurled aloft, and then cemented in the boiling tufa mud with which they fell. Scattered over all parts of the plain are roundtd boulders of all sizes, showing marks of igneous action later than their original solidification. These are evidently "volcanic bombs" ejected from the cinder-cones. The greater part of the last showers which covered the surface must have been composed of the finer cinders or ashes, which in their decomposition, formed the deep rich soil of the whole surface of this plain. It is well known in all volcanic countries, that volcanic ashes and cinders after exposure to air and moisture, dc- compose into soil of the richest sort, abounding in potash and phosphates. Such appears to be the soil of Honouliuli. Over one-half of the 650 acres prepared for first crop is already planted. A noble river from the great pump of the artesian wells is watering it. In a few months, the actual richness of the soil will be determined by the growth of the cane. This tract is, meantime, a favorite resort of visitors by Railway. Haleakala. Oh ! "House of the Sun," towering far into heaven, Long years have swept by since I saw thy dark sides, And scaled thy wild steeps, all splintered and riven Into gloomy ravines by the lava's red tides. In ages gone by, when the fuse early flashing Of light on this globe shed its earliest beams. Deep down in your heart, were the crimson tides dashing, And surging and foaming in lurid red streams. The wide arch above you is hid by the streaming Of sulphurous clouds which to heaven aspire Flashing blood-red in the wild fitful gleaming, Of flames from the pit of ineffable fire. ; Flames of Gehenna are leaping and playing, Above the red lips of the feculent flood. The reeling earth under it, surging and swaying, O'er its broad bosom run rivers like blood. Fiercely the flaming flood plunging and roaring, In hot, hissing torrents envelops the steeps, Deep down in the valleys, the lurid stream pouring, Hushes far into the crystalline deeps. ; The fury and rage of the fire-fiend expended No more on thy bosom red rivers shall run, Thy crater at rest —"now the black strife is end- ed"-, Lies stricken and dead, in the light of the sun. At rest now forever, and peacefully sleeping, 'Neath the soft, mellow light of a tropical sky; O'er fathomless chasms the wild goats are leap- ing, 'Mid ghostly processions of clouds sweeping by. Around thy steep slopes wave the palm tree's green tresses— A tinkling of streams in the valley's deep shades. We loiter knee-deep in the cool wildernesses, 'Mong arching tree-ferns in ever-green glades. The wind sweeping over the fern-clad passes. Hums a jubilant song in the shadowy lanes. Where once was a desert, now long waving grasses, And wide-reaching fields of the succulent canes.

WHG Doctor Lee, in his sketch of the late lamented Henry W. Grady, has this passage: His next notable speech was in his own city. An awful curse, the liquor traffic, had been prohibited by law in Fulton county. Two years of peace and prosperity had come as the result. More coal was sold to warm the poor; more hats and bonnets were sold to gladden the wives and children of working men; more furniture was sold to make comfortable the homes; more worshippers were in church; more children were in the school; fewer inmates were in the poor house; fewer criminals were in jail and lock-up; fewer men were sent to the penitentiary. Most of all that was real and good, and useful was in But Atlanta, because of prohibition. love of gain led those whose business had been the destruction of love, and the ruin of men, to call another election with the hope of again inaugurating the awful work. With all his might and enthusiasm he threw himself into the opposition. His friends were on both sides of the conflict, but he had a conception of a city redeemed and moving to wealth, without the blood-money of the weak. This conception he desired to see abidingly realized in the city of his love, a perpetual benediction. The conflict was raging, the parties were massed and strictly defined; meetings and processions were held, first by one, and then by the other side. On a certain night it was announced that Mr. Grady would speak for prohibition; six thousand people assembled to hear him. Such a speech on prohibition, measured by the enthusiasm it awakened and the applause it called forth, has seldom been delivered on this earth. He said just before he died that his work in this campaign he desired to be known as what he regarded as the best in his life. T B.

By his official proclamation, it was observed in all places of worship to God throughout the kingdom as a day of prayer and supplication in behalf of the lepers, and for relief to the nation from the scourge. This is a most worthy act of the King, and one that will be remembered in his favor. Leprosy, we think, is far from being the most serious evil with which the Hawaiian people are afflicted. But on account of the stringent measures of segregation employed by the government to remove it, it is the evil which the natives feel the most painfully of any. It is a worthy act to direct the minds of the people towards the Living God as the One who can help them in their distress— towards their Father in Heaven as the One who desires to heal them. It is in every way good to teach the people to call upon the Lord their God. They may pray ignorantly —inefficiently—without intelligent understanding of the conditions of God's help. But it can never be amiss,—it is always the road to light and right action: first of all seek God in our troubles. So seeking, they may be led to inquire seriously what He would have them do to remove the scourge. It can never be useless to pray for help with all one's heart, even though the way to relief may be hidden by one's own blindness. We trust that on that day, and since then, a great deal of urgent and fruitful supplication has been offered by the people. May it also be, that the King be himself led to devout prayer for his people and for his own soul. We attended the union services at Kawaiahao church, where the Royal party were present. The sermon was by Pastor Waiamau of Kaumakapili church. We noted with satisfaction, that he enforced upon the people their duly of diligently co-operating with the government in the work of segregating the lepers. By many of the people such teaching is likely to be ill received, and Mr. Waiamau's boldness calls for praise. Would that all the pastors would do their duty with courage with respect to this and some other unpopular hut urgently needed instruction. We also observe with pleasure in the King's proclamation, that prayer is asked for patient submission on the part of the lepers to the restrictions under which they are placed. Such a spirit is greatly needed among them, and among those still subject to arrest on account of the malady. The recent murder by a leper in Kona of the officer who was attempting to arrest him is fresh in the public recollection, as well as many incendiary exhortations to such resistance in a certain newspaper. The Royal proclamation expresses the opposite spirit. By the Royal order, a series of five printed prayers have been put into general circulation among the natives, manifestly in order to guide them in their petition on this subject. They are for God's Mercy upon this Nation; for the Discovery of a Medical Remedy for this Disease; for the Forgiveness of the Sins of the Nation; for Patient Endurance; and for Humble Dependence upon God. They breathe a most devout spirit, are most appropriate in form, are enriched with Scripture precedents, and evidently the work of a competent hand. We wish that the English original of these prayers might have been published, as the Hawaiian evidently fails in some places to convey the precise form of thought, and as the English-speaking population might be edified and profitablyguided by these forms. The composer's work seems to us, however, to be chargeable with one serious omission, for which he may possibly have conceived a good reason to exist. There is lacking perhaps the most essential, at Number 12. 89 any rate, the most practical, petition of all that could be offered in bebalf of a people afflicted with the disease of Leprosy. We believe that Ood should especially be implored to impart to the Hawaiian people a mind faithfully to employ the one great Remedy for leprosy which He has set before them in the statutes of Moses, and which medical science also enjoins, namely, strict segregation. Nothing is more certain than that the terrible ravages of this disease among the natives are wholly owing to their entire neglect to separate the diseased persons from their household life. We are personally familiar with numberless instances tif the most shocking disregard of such precautions. Now how ill-directed—how ineffectual, must be petitions to God for deliverance from a disease while neglecting the must obvious precautions against it. As well ask God to stay a pestilence of typhoid or of diphtheria, while you leave your vaults and cesspools in communication with your water supply; or to deliver you from small-pox, while you neglect vaccination. It would seem as if such praying came under the condemnation of the prayers denounced by Isaiah (1:10-17). What the Hawaiian people most need in this matter, and what the Lord should be most urgently importuned to give them, seems to us to be a spirit of hearty cooperation with, and submission to, the efforts of the Hoard of Health for the entire isolation of the Lepers from the rest of the community. Why was so important a petition omitted? Thanksgiving Day came and went with its customary religious and hausehold observances. Among our many causes of thankfulness, is especially to be noted our substantial relief from the political disquiet which during the past year and a half, has Must we not at times been very serious. it is none other than the good feel that that has so of the God hand gracious our favored past kingdom steadily guided the rocks that menaced it ? He has moved the hearts and minds of men to wise and patriotic action when they seemed lending to other courses. For the lesser, yet very important mercies of material prosperity and progress, the past we believe to have been the most favored year in the history ofthese islands. And we rejoice to believe that in no preceding year have the hearts of good men been so much incited to show their gratitude by liberal gifts to works of beneficence, of religion, and of education. �90 THE FRIEND.

The only indication of land this morning at daybreak was the flocks ofsea birds which we could see in every direction, although �Volume 48, No. 12.] through their territory disclosed a single egg, nearly as large as a pullet's egg, mottled brown in color, over which it had been brooding. There was no semblance of a nest, and how the parent bird was ever to recognize her individual property, I could not make out. When you looked closely, you would see lurking under the tufts of grass or the foliage of the low shrubbery the young chicks, who have learned that their safety dc pends on such concealment. There are always numbers of frigate birds, professional robbers and cut-throats, sailing over head, watching for a stray Chick, and woe to the one that is left even for a moment without shelter. The birds you have startled from their nests follow you some little distance out of curiosity, so that before you have advanced half a dozen rods you find yourself under a canopy that shelters you to an appreciable extent from the scorching effect of the sun's rays. The birds fly low, often so that you might reach them by stretching out the hand, and the murmur of the myriad wings is like the roaring of a'gale about you, while your ears are deafened with the multitudinous cries of the alarmed birds. The whole crest of the sand ridge on both sides of •the island is occupied by these birds not exclusively, for the taller shrubbery is everywhere pre-empted by frigate birds and boobies, and there are also small land birds that live principally at this season of the year on the eggs of these — sea fowl. 91 THE FRIEND. Under the low shrubbery also the tropic birds have their nests. Beautiful white birds they are, with dark eyes and straight tapering red beaks and with one or two slender red feathers, a foot or more long, in the tail. At present they are absorbed in the occupation of incubating their eggs, few of which have as yet hatched. They do not offer to move when you approach their nests, but they hold their beaks ready for service if you venture too near. However, you may safely seize their ornamental tail feather and pluck it out, eliciting only a harsh squawk of remonstrance from the bird, who will sometimes take this insult as a hint that it is time to leave. Descending from the ridge into the lagoon basin, I found myself in a region of pitfalls. Without warning you find the sand give way under your foot, and you have an unpleasant sensation as of stepping on a live kitten. You have broken into the tunnel of a "mutton bird," and unless you have injured it too seriously, you will see the poor creature presently extricating itself from the sand in a demoralized condition. It is a bird of dark slate color, approaching black, rather larger than a pigeon, which it resembles in its smooth plumage and the graceful curves of its head and body. The egg—all these sea birds seem to be content with a single egg—is pure white, rather larger than a hen's egg, more elongated and rounded equally at both ends. They are considered verygood eating; when boiled, the white never becomes very solid, a peculiarity that is said to belong to the eggs of the sea-fowl generally. When burrowing, the mutton birds make lively play with their feet; the sand will fly behind them almost in a continuous stream. I do not believe any other creature is capable of giving vent to such lugubrious groans as these same mutton birds. Coming from the ground under your feet, these sepulchral sounds are peculiarly blood-curdling, particulraly after night- fall. Near the lagoon, I came upon a small flock of snowy terns which followed me for some time hovering in the air just over my head, and within arm's length. They seem to find some fascination about one's eye, for they will hover just in front of you, peering up inquiringly under your hat. They are not much larger than a uiynah bird, but with much larger wings, and slender little bodies— the plumage of a lustrous, satin)- white, eyes large, full and jet black. These birds s.lect for a nest the most unlikely place imaginable. They place their single spotted egg, the size of a pigeon's egg, on some narrow ledge of bare rock, or— more preposterous still—on a log where it requires to be held in place to prevent it from rolling off. I am told that, while the bird sits on its egg it is fed, like a young bird, by its mate. On the east side of the lagoon, I came upon a rookery of frigate birds, or'•man of-war hawks." as they are often called. livery little shrub—there were few more than three feet high—held from one to a dozen nests, rude structures, mere platforms built of twigs and coarse grass. The adult birds, as they sit perched on the bushes, remind one strongly of hawks or even of the nobler bird from which they have taken their specific name of "Aquila." The plumage is iridescent black; the beak, unlike the eagle's, long and hooked only at the point. When you approach, unless they are asleep, or over-gorged with food, or else devoted to the care of an egg or of an unefldged birdling, they will spread their great wings and flap lazily away, the resemblance to an eagle suddenlygone. Once on the wing, however, the bird needs resemble nothing but itself, for its movement in flight are the embodiment of self poise and mastery. In spite of its angular outline, the kite like form of the bird is not without grace. I have often watched single, birds floating almost motionless high in the air, or darting with lightning-like speed after the fish, which they have compelled other birds to drop, but I never sawbefore as now hundreds of the birds in the air at once. My attention was, however, more particularly directed to the baby birds left behind on the nests. It is hard to believe that these snow white balls of swan's down can ever grow into the semblance of one of those sombre, angular adult birds. They resemble the parent now only in the beak, which, massive and black as it is, is in striking contrast with the rest of the creature's make up. Some of them are as large as a spring chicken. Comical creatures enough they are. When undisturbed, they will be sitting bolt upright on the nest. On your approach, they will first crouch and crane their necks toward you, opening wide their great beaks as if they meant to swallow you whole. Then if you come closer, they will show fight, striking at you viciously with their sharp beaks. They are, for all the world, like a lot of little children dressed in their night gowns, aroused by some unusual disturbance when they should be fast asleep in bed. The young boobies look almost exactly like the frigate birds, but they have a straight, pointed beak, and red instead of black eyes, and when you disturb them, they squawk just as their parents do. This impresses you very much as it would to hear from a young child, apparelled like a prince, the language of Billingsgate. This must answer for the present for bird stories. I have not even mentioned the game birds, curlew, snipe, plover and duck, or the little land birds, of which there are several species, or the very interesting red eyed wingless birds, but time and space would fail, were I to try to exhaust the subject. A rough calculation puts the bird population of the island at about 800,000; it may reach 1,000,000. They have not yet learned to fear man excessively, and are in fact no more shy than barn door fowl, so that it is very easy to study their habits. The flora of the island I find interesting, although somewhat disappointing. I gathered only twenty-one species of flowering plants, nearly all of them HaThe waiian or cosmopolitan plants. seeds of most if not all of them have floated to the island in sea-water. Among them should be mentioned the loulu palm, the maia pilo (caper) the Koali (convolvulus) and a stunted species of sandal-wood. To-morrow we shall undertake a systematic examination of the deposits of phosphate of lime which give a commercial importance to this little island. They represent the bones of millions of fish that have, age after age, supplied food to birds innumerable. [Subsequent entries in the Jog book are taken up with details of the survey and exploration of the island, of the continuation of the trip to Lisiansky, and of the tedious return voyage of twenty-four days.] Outward polish and grace only make a person's inward deformities seem the blacker when they are discovered. �Decmbr, 1890.

But the work has been substantially good, and people's pockets can stand a mere cash that those grave apprehensions have loss, so long as our constitutional safebeen dispelled which necessarily grew guards are not impaired. Had Thursout of the pledges of support apparently ton & Co. allowed some of those claims, given by the more conservative wing of and otherwise made things more comthe National Reform party to their Wil- fortable for people used to government cox-Bush allies. In our March issue we said, "the majority of the party are unlikely to do anything seriously endangering the important political results secured by the Reform of 1887. They will not disturb the present wholesome political system." This view has been justified by the event. The most vital issue made at this session was upon a constitutional amendment reducing the income and property qualifications of voters for Nobles. The taxable property limit was by general consent, reduced from $3,000 to $1,000, the latter sum being considered sufficient to ensure thoughtful voting in its possessor. The real contest was over some propositions to reduce the income qualification from $600 to $400 or $300, being that of unskilled laborers. To. carry this, Wilcox and Bush expended their furious efforts with the populace, in order to intimidate the legislators. In the result, the income qualification of $600 was maintained by a final vote of 31 to 5. One-half of our legislature will continue to be chosen by the skilled mechanics and people of some little standing or substance. Although the late Reform Cabinet received unlimited denunciation, it is remarkable how fully have been agreed upon the most of the important measures and appropriations recommended by the late Ministers. Among these are the continuation of the Volcano, Pali, and Maalaea roads, and especially the Thurston-Allardt plan for deepening the Honolulu bar and harbor. The Election system has been improved by adding the Secret ballot, which failed to pass the last Reform House, although supported by the Cabinet. A rather harmless concession was made to the native feeling by restoring the offices of Governors of the islands, although for two years their absence has been found a very material advantage. Their existence does no vital harm. pap, they might have easily weathered any opposition party likely to arise against them. The depleted condition in which they found the Treasury enforced a severe economy upon them from the start. The late legislation is the most obviously open to criticism in a somewhat reckless making of appropriations for the biennial period vastly in excess of any possible income. This devolves upon the Cabinet the discretion of determining which of the authorized works to carry out and which to postpone for lack of funds, a degree of power not meant to be given to them, and capable of much abuse, as former experience has proved. We may say in conclusion that although a party in bitter opposition to the Reform Cabinet, and leaguing themselves with the desperate enemies of Reform principles, held a small majority in the legislature, nevertheless all the leading measures carried, were substantially those of the Reform Party. The principles and policy of the grand Revolution of JunelBB7, have been triumphantly maintained. They stand. They will continue to stand. As we wrote in August, 1887, "this civilized kind of government has come to stay." The United States Express Company has issued peremptory orders to its agents not to receive money, tickets or lists of drawings from the Louisiana Lottery, or in any way to assist in the transaction of lottery business. It is very gratifying to see a great agency thus voluntarily aiding the Post Office in suppressing a public nuisance. It is only a few years since a healthy public sentiment defeated a powerfully supported attempt to establish a branch (we believe) of the Louisiana Lottery in Honolulu, and to make this a great center of distribution. This infamous system of gambling still enjoys state support in all Roman Catholic countries, but withers under the higher morality of Protestantism. Dr. Beckwith's Sermon on Leprosy. Our excellent pastor made one of his ablest efforts on the day of prayer for Leprosy. We especially felt his appeal for hopeful effort, to save the native people, and were glad to hear him denounce *he kahunas and the idolatry and superstition which they teach as the worst enemy of the people's life. We have long felt assured that this is the breeding-nest of all the destructive vices of the Hawaiian nation, and that the extirpation of the Kahunas would do more to save the people than any other measure. Not to go any deeper, it is a fact right on the surface, that probably twice as many persons are directly killed by Kahuna malpractice every year as die of leprosy in the same period An illustration of their insane brutality is given in the Kuokoa of Nov. 15th, telling of a Kahuna in the rear of Kawaiahao Seminary, spitting down the throat of a little child, in order to expel the demon that made it sick. But the worst of this foul superstition is the way in which the allegiance to malignant demons which it inculcates, debases and corrupts both heart and intellect, and incapacitates its votaries for any virtuous or intelligent activity. It debases them so as to be incapable of taking a part in our wholesome civilized life, without doing which, they must perish. It is of the Kahuna disease more than any other that the Hawaiian race are wasting away. Leprosy is a mere trifle to it. Among the commendable acts of the late session of the Legislature was their squelching of the attempt to revive that infamous "Hawaiian Board of Health," or board to license Kahunas, which was created by the Legislature of 1886, and destroyed by the revolution of '87. Hon. Henry P. Baldwin. We find it to be matter of common remark, that the quite satisfactory results of the work of the late session of the Legislature were due in a very great degree to the prudent and conciliatory influence of this gentleman. Although not prominent as an orator, or as an introducer of bills, yet as a wise and friendly counsellor hehas been looked up to by men ofall parties. While not a politician, Mr Baldwin possesses in a high degree the coveted gifts of a politician, of making friends and influencing opponents by his good sense and kindly disposition. For a long time he has stood easily at the head of our ablest plantation managers, no man ever more fairly earning the large fortune which he has acquired by brains and hard work. We may add that he is one confidently looked to to lend a hand to every good work. Honor is like a palace with a low door, He that strays far into the wilderness of into the which man can enter, but he must worldly living, cannot creep back to the lodge of safety just when he pleases. first stoop. �Volume 48, No. 12.] Remedies for Leprosy. The Hawaiian Board of Health have been at great expense in employing experts like Dr. Arning, and Dr. Lutz, to study leprosy and its appropriate medical treatment. So far as we can learn, no approximation has yet been made to any method of curing leprosy. Probably some valuable progress has been made in methods of mitigating the disease, and some patients have been to outward appearance restored to sound health, although in most cases we believe there is good evidence that the taint is still in the system. We believe that it is probably true that in some favored cases, the vital vigor of the patient has spontaneously thrown off the malady. A specific Remedy for leprosy may yet be found. The wonderful recent triumphs of Medical Science are calculated to encourage such a hope. On this ground we would heartily commend the prayer to God for the discovery of such remedy, as mentioned in another column. Our first thought was that such a boon was scarcely to be expected, and that it would be difficult to pray for it in earnest. But the wonderful discoveries of Pasteur and Koch seem plainly to point out the duty of the most persistent effort to find the remedy for leprosy also. And if such effort is a duty, then humble and earnest prayer for the success of such efforts is also a duty. Our hope in this matter has just been stimulated—in ignorance, very likely— by the wonderful report of Prof. Koch's discovery of a remedy for tuberculosis. It now seems probable that a bright hope of cure is opened to the vast throng of hitherto almost hopeless "consumptives." When such a miracle of healing has been accomplished by medical science, it seems not unreasonable to believe that there lies hidden somewhere the remedy for leprosy also, awaiting the efficient search of a master of healing. Shall we not then have the boldness to petition the gracious Lord of healing, that He will inspire and direct such a search to a successful issue? We have enjoyed some interviews with our old neighbor, Mr. S. T. Alexander, who with Mrs. A., has made a month's visit to see fr.ends, and look after his plantations, after European travel with h,s family. Mr. A. appears to be entirelyhopeful as to a continuance of some profit tj the plantations, notwithstanding the severe blow given to them by the free sugar provisions of the McKinley Tariff. Such profit he regards, however, as conditioned entirely on being able to secure cheap Asiatic field laborers. A large influx of such people, can hardly be looked on as other than an evil, socially. But the immense capital already invested is not to be sacrificed. Very wise and efficient legislation will be needed to minimize the evils thus threatened. No class are in more need of such protection than the native Hawaiians. THE FRIEND. Nob Hill. This name is commonly applied to an elevated part of San Francisco which has become covered with palatial buildings. Somewhat similar to this seems to be the future of a fine location upon the southern slope of Punch Bowl. The creation 'of this place was one of the many intelligent enterprises successfully pushed by Mr. Thurston. Streets were laid out and handsomely graded high up on the hillside, the water laid on from an upper Nuuanu Reservoir, and a considerable number of lots auctioned off at moderate prices. Among others, Mr. Hackfeld has recently erected, wh.,t we have heard call ed, the finest private residence in the city. This seems to have boomed the tract, and a few days since, the remaining lots were bid off at more than three times the upset prices of the government. The view from the spot is a glorious one. On some accounts, our own preference would be for an equally elevated site on the north-west side of Punchbowl, on what is now Crown land, but which must in the near future, revert to the Government, and be put on the market. 93 Pearl City Lots.—As the result of the sale held on the ground on the 29th, notwithstanding the rain, over 100 lots were sold for some $44,000. Many other parties are waiting for further opportunity to buy. Mr. Dillingham has made a grand success of this enterprise. We went over the ground for the first time since cleared and laid out. It is truly a lovely spot. One feature we have not seen mentioned, that there are fine easy drives in several directions inland to a height of 1,000 feet or more. The coming town is in full view from Punchbowl.

The temptation scene of the garden of Eden, and the departure of our first parents from Par. diie was next sung to the air of "Just before the battle mother." These and ether pieces which were sung, descriptive, or dlustrative and explanatory to some Scripti.re lesson, affected us deeply, and somewhat modified our views regarding the value of these Sabbath School exhibitions. We see that there may be good in them. Here was elevated thought set to real music. It is what Hawaiian music, outside of the sttndards, now lacks.

About $350 must be found somewhere to add to the $200 already found, and to make up, the needy $550, or possibly $600, required to repair their dilapitated church building, which will soon be a ruin if it is not speedily made weather proof.

The Onomea church has done this in the face of the fact that the Pastor's Aid Society of Hawaii stands ready to help them to sustain their Pastor to the full limit of their need. This is the third Pastor the church has served in this way within nearly as many years. Ousted from his pastorate Mr. Kamoku with his characteristic energy has found work at the Hilo Boarding School. He helps at evening prayers and in thp field work as a sort of teacher of practical agriculture. The Waialua church building is to be dedicated on the Sabbath of the 7th of December. The present indebtedness cf thischurch for its building is about two hundred dollars, but it is hoped that before the above date the money will be all raised. The church people are grateful to the kind friends who have helped them so generously. The Kawaiahao and Kaumakapili churches have lately taken up goodly contributions in their aid.

It is a pleasure to note a general interChristians on these islands in the work of evangelization in progress among the Japanese. The work in itself and in its strategic relation is second only in importance to that among the natives. I question whether the situation is paralleled in Christendom. Where else are thirteen thousand and more idolaters conveniently grouped away from their temples, and their priests, and their frequent wayside gods? Where else are so many heathen in broken companies br 'light into immediate contact with a dominant Christian sentiment ? Tlv re are Chinese massed in San Francisco and I nic other cities, but ttiey are a Solidarity, and constitute simply a transplanted IrCtion ot heathenism. But the Japanese with us are in separate companies divided on the plantations t at our Christianity may happily conquer. It will be sorely to our dis credit if we permit them to c >me and go without a patient, persevering eff.rt to afford them some knowledge of Christ. They come to us firm adherents of their ancestral faith. They may have been but indifferent devotees at home, but when about to leave their country a vague fear of peril to be encountered causes them to seek to their gods, and to make vows and offerings that they hope may secure protection and care. And so it comes about that many who cared little or nothing for Buddhism in Jap-in are devoted idolaters here. They bring with ihern (harms that their priests have blessed, and little pinches of rice from shrines visited just before departure; and these they cherish as their only immunity from disaster in a far country. I baptized six converts on Klaui the other day and each gave up a magic charm that I have now in p '(session. One said, "After I gave that to the pastor I thought for three days that the angry God might cause me to die, but I lived and I know that it was nothing." On arrival here these peasants are for the most part entirely ignorant of Christianity, and it behoves us to remember that in the absence of direct Christian instruction they are quite sure to obtain impressions of it that will strong y tend to prejudice them against ii. Can we end ire to allow them to remain three years within sight of our church spires and return to their heathen homes having heard then me tf Jesus only as spoken by the lips of the profane ? A. N. F. The new .School on Kauai, established largely through the active and earnest sympathy of Dr. J. K. Smith and his sister, has opened with 19 pupils, boys who are to have the benefit of manual training and industrial drill, as well as elementary English and mathematical studies. The ultimate design is to unite with this a school for girls, so that the problem of co-education of the sexes may be fairly tried as a fat tor in building up a healthy social Christian life among Hawaiians. Koha'a School lacks but one 01 two ol its fu 1 complement ol 50 scholars. An add tlonal teacher is needed, one compttent to give instruction in instrumental nd vocal muse, and such a teacher is ex petted soon to arrive fro 11 the Coast. This wi,l Ot-cessitite securi tg more funds for piano, furniture for the new teacher's ro mi, books and other essentials, and an earnest appeal is made to the generous supporters of Christian Education for additional help to the funds of this school, for whose maintenance the Hawaiian Board is directly responsible. The btti'dings are held by the Board under a deed of trust from Rev. E. C. B nd, on whose land the school as well as the Church and parsonage were built, largely with his own hands. The personal sympathy, which such teachers as Miss Whittle! and Miss Gorten take in the Christian development of the girls under their care, is the prominent feature in all the schools under the supervision of the Hawaiian Board. It is the outcome of the new life the Gospel of Christ brings to any people, as Paul wrote to Corinth, "Though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yd. have ye not many fathers." Both Makawao and Kawaiahao Girls' schools are full to overflowing. One of the teachers at Makawao has been very sit-k, and one of the girls died, from an attack of typhoid fever. The physician in charge at once instituted a search for unsanitary conditions, and these being remedied, the sickness stopped at once with no further cases. Miss Carpenter off' r< tl her assistance at the school as soon as slitheard of the trouble. The constant strain on teachers in these board ng schools necessitates careful selection. Not all, who are willing and ready to take such positions, have the requis.te physical qualifications.

None but those .engaged in' the work can appreciate the dimcultiA in the wiy of securing and keeping suitable teachers for our boarding schools. Hilo Boy's School has about forty pupils in attendance. Mr. Hall, the efficitnt and genial treasurer of the Hawaiian Board, has been very successful in h s efT rts to I cure spec al funds for various objects in which he has become deeply interested from his official position and intimate knowh dge of the necessities of the situation. He has secured from Hon. C. R. Bishop a pledge of $10,000 towards an Iddowment Fund for ihe Hilo School, provided an eq'ial amount can be secured from others He has now in sight about $-\ 000 towards the $10,000 needed. Oibu College and Kamehameha Industrial School do not come under the supervision of the Hawaiian Board, though their Trustees are all members or supporters of the Board in its v.nous enterprises. It will gratify all the old graduates and friends ot Oahu College to know that the new Principal, Mr. F. A. Hosmer, late'y of the B.irrington High School, has proved his special fitness for the place. Especially in the matter of pirsonal sympathy with the students, has he won general commendation from parents, as well as affection and respect from the pupils. A large addition to the number of scholars is expected at the beginning of the next term, January 12, 1891. Kamehameha School has its available dormitory room, for 126 pupils, all occupied with the exception of two beds. The teat hers are devoted, enthusiastic experts, and the character of the teaching is eminently satisfactory to those who appreciate and desire thoroughness, thooghtfulness, independence and good judgment in school roam or workshop. Principal Oleson is in hearty sympathy with his Trustees, and with all interested in our schools, in making Christian character the foundation and the aim of all the work of the school. The North Pacific Missionary Institute has nineteen candidates for the ministry and the foreign field. These are of very varying abilities and attainments, but the average is about the same as in former years. The number in attendance is larger, and the difficulty of securing renumerative employment for all is enhanced by the increased number ot* laborers in our city population Especially in the immediate neighborhood of the Institute is it difficult to find employment for the students in such work as they can do, painting, carpentering, gardening. Several (f the students' wires are skillful nurses, seamof the money stresses, waiters; but they individually earn is made by braiding hats. Every Sunday afternoon the students scatter over the city and suburbs, conducting or helping in Sunday School work and chapel meetings. Some regular city mission work ought to be undertaken, but the attempts so far made have not been satisfactory, because desultory. C. M. H. • �THE FRIEND. .

Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single action. The sweetest fishes are often caught in the salteat seas. The noblest graces of spirit often grow among the bitterest sorrows. There is something in a good, loving Christian mother's kiss that fifty years cannot wipe off the cheek.

The manifest mercies of the year are such as to awaken devout and admiring thankfulness to God, who has supplied, defended, prospered and blessed this favored land. The year opened with a deep sense of political disquiet. It closes with restored confidence. In financial affairs, it has been a period of exceptional prosperity. In no year has the sugar crop been so large, or the profits so great. While a shadow rests upon our future, owing to loss of our advantage as to duties formerly enjoyed, we are still sanguine of success in producing our chief staple. The chief development in public improvements has been the completion of the Ewa Railway around the Lochs for 17 miles, and its very prosperous traffic; also the successful sales of building lots at Pearl City,pointing to the early creation of a fine country resort at that point. In our various lines of Christian work, there has been much progress. It is ground for thankfulness, that the Chinese work does not appear to have retrograded during the suspension through ill-health of our able and devoted Superintendent. For this much is due to the experienced care of Mrs. F. W. Damon, and also to the devoted and winning zeal of Miss May Green. Our Japanese work has greatly prosThe Methodist division has pered. enjoyed the able exertions as Superin- tendent, of Rev. A. N. Fisher. Our department, in its strongest branch at Hilo, has been peculiarly favored in the labors of Kev.Jiro Okabe in that district, and has made unwonted progress. It has been the deepest gratification of all that our churches have at last found their way opened to minister efficiently to the spiritual destitution of our Portuguese population. We have obtained helpers from the colony of Madeira exiles at Springfield, Illinois. Mr. Soares is actively at work in Honolulu, and Mr. Baptista in Hilo. Rev. Mr. Pires, pastor of the Springfield Portuguese Church, has lent his personal aid to inaugurate this mission. Already a Mission House and lot are purchased and occupied in this city, and a tasteful chapel has been erected and dedicated. A good congregation are in weekly attendance. In Foreign Mission work, we have to record the completion of the translation of the Bible by Mr. Bingham into the Gilbert Island tongue. Our mission churches and schools in that group are making steady progress towards Christian civilization. In the Western Carolines, the work at Ruk and its spiritual dependencies is most prosperous. The little missionary yacht Robert W. Logan, has gone to their aid, and is doubtless now in busy service, carrying gospel workers to and fro. For Ponape, we are in great trouble of spirit. In the absence of the missionary peace-makers, the people under much provocation, have risen against their Spanish oppressors, and merciless war is raging. The churches and mission houses are destroyed, and schools broken up. The Spaniards are said to have expelled our mission. We can only pray for our afflicted brethren. A great work is committed to our hands. The Lord has greatly enlarged our gospel agencies. Both money gifts and personal toil are in increased demand from us. Shall we rise to the height of our privilege, in abundantly contributing both? May the year on which we now enter witness increasing fidelity and consecration on our part as God's people, and bear record of growing conquests for Christ's kingdom. 1 The Friend. Hawaiian Almanac and Annual For 1891 — commonly known as Is received Thrum's Annual. An old and welcome friend—always full of the latest facts, brought accurately down to date. The first thing that strikes one on opening it is a very pretty map of the city, showing fire wards, election districts, principal buildings, harbor and soundings, new railway stations and wharves, Punchbowl road, etc., with an index to fifty-one points of interest. There are 67 pages of statistical tables, inclusive of the last Appropriation Bill, from which almost any information can be gained about national finances, property values, immigration, exports and imports, rainfall and meteorology, schools and education, sea and overland distances, postal facilities, taxes, corporations, plantations, land areas and rentals, and many other matters. Then follow eighty pages of miscellaneous articles on native ferns, native woods, fossils, land titles, ancient Hawaiian astronomy, information for tourists, retrospect for 1890, and many other topics. There are six pages on Hawaiian tariff and duties, closing with nine pages of Hawaiian Register and Directory. Mr. Thrum's long experience of what the public need in this line, and practice in accurately furnishing it, enable him to fill a place with hfs Annual not easily equalled. Rev. E. N. Pires. It was our privilege on Sunday last, to attend the Dedication services at the new Portuguese Chapel, and to listen to the sermon preached by the Springfield Pdstor. He warmed up into what seemed to be eloquence of a most impressive kind. It seemed impossible to doubt that the Portuguese language was an adequate vehicle for the highest order of expression. Mr. Pires gave us in English the heads of his discourse, thoughts fitly chosen. Rev. Mr. Pires (pee-rez) is a stalwart, benevolent, practical looking man of fifty, born in Madeira, coming as a child with his exiled parents, and in America obtaining a full and regular education for the ministry. We have also among us, Mr. and Mrs. Pereira, relatives of Mrs. Soares, who were among the adult exiles from Madeira. Though in advanced years, they are still hale and active, and can hear witness to having suffered the loss of all things for Christ's sake. Mr. Pereira finds abundant employment as a firstclass machinist. �2 THE FRIEND. Januar y, 1891. Dedication of the New Church at Waialua. ent and took part in the services.

As frequently before the children were asked to make gifts this year, not to expect any themselves. $100 of the contributions were applied to buy gifts for the children at the Leper Settlement, and $15 for those at the Kalihi Station. The rest was given to the children attending the various Mission School in the city. The total receipts were amounted to $250.

The Japanese Mission this year were obliged to anticipate the Christmas Season somewhat on account of the departure of Mr. S. Ban, late Secretary of the Legation, with his wife, returning to Japan on the S. S. China. Since Mr. Ando's departure,Mr. Ban has been the leader in Christian work, and bis genial sympathy and business tact will be greatly missed in mission work among the Japanese. Mr. Masuda also leaves Honolulu, and his help as an interpreter for Mr. Fisher, and in other ways will be a loss not easily to be repaired. The generosity of the little band of Japanese Christians was shown in this as in previous Christmas gatherings, in the gifts so freely distributed among the audience that filled the Lyceum. The young men sang with genuine enthusiasm, and the addresses, were as pointed and effective as they were brief. Cakes and ice-cream were served in the adjoining room. These engaged in the various departwere specialments of the ly remembered wiflr appropriate gifts, Miss Carrie Castle receiving a Benjamin's portion of the good things provided. The Chinese Mission School, under Miss May Green's superintendence held their Christmas Festival in the upper audience room of the Church. The tree was a very elaborate affair, gay with glittering baubles, and bright with countless candles. Two stuffed sheep, and the lay figure of a shepherd, were an additional attraction to the children, and something entirely unique. The exercises in which the children had been drilled were well rendered. Those in the audience who could remember the first attempts, were delighted at the marked improvement shown, especially in the pronunciation of the English words, and the orderliness of all the proceedings. One of the little girls played the baby organ while the class sung a pretty Christmas Carol. The boys recited their Chinese manual with phenomenal accuracy. The teachers deserved the praises they received from friends and spectators for the successful management of the festival; and Mrs. F. W. Damon took the general THE FRIEND. 3 Volume 49, No. I.] direction of the affair, carrying it on to its successful completion, as though determined that no occasion should be given for any sad thoughts, even if Mr. Damon's contagious enthusiasm was missed by those, who grieved that illhealth still kept himaway from Honolulu, and the work to which he had consecrated his life. The Portuguese Sunday School of wnich Mr. B. F. Dillingham has been Superintendent for more than two years, held their Christmas Festival in the new chapel, used for the first time for this happy occasion. Mr. Dillingham's efficient helpers Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, Mrs. Gilman, and Miss Dower had provided a bountiful array of toys and other gifts. After several songs from the school, and brief addresses from friends present, the eighty odd children of the school with their parents and friends, had a good time over the gifts, liberally provided. The Mission School in Fowler's Yard, under Miss Johnson,had their entertainment Friday evening in the vestry of the Central Union Church, and had a glorious good time. Christmas Day, the inmates of the Receiving Hospital for Lepers at Kalihi had a tree provided, for the delight of the dozen children, with suitable gifts also for every one old or young. Mrs. McCully, who has a Bible Class every Sunday morning at the Prison, for the benefit of the foreigners undergoing sentence there, made provision for a generous and well appointed Christmas dinner for them, which they enjoyed and The Diocesan is a quarterly issued by Bishop Willis of the Anglican Church, and marked by the personal ability of the editor, who sees many things from a distressed people. ment? view-point somewhat differing from ours. The December issue contains an excellent sermon upon "The Nation's Duty to its Lepers." In reference to the Friend's criticism of an omission in the Prayers for Lepers, the Diocesan claims that the missing petition is contained in the Prayer for Patience, to give them "such graces as they need to bear the burden which God has been pleased to lay upon them." Our contention was for a petition for a mind in the Hawaiian people to faithfully employ the Remedy of isolation. This is not a petition for patience, or compliance, but for active effort—not for mere passive submission to the efforts of the Board of Health, but for active co-operation with it. It is quite possible, however, that a distinct petition of that sort would not have been well received by a large portion of the natives, which may perhaps have been a good reason for omitting it.

The only thing that could possibly endanger it, would be an unmistakable display of incapacity to govern ourselves. A government so bad that the business in white hands could not endure it, would compel some change, and might compel a protectorate, or annexation. But most of our people feel that we can manage our own affairs better than others could manage them for us. We are entirely hopeful that the good elements in our very mixed population will so far continue to maintain ascendency over the opposite, as to ensure a fairly good administration of our public affairs. Lovers of Hawaiian Independence should diligently bear in mind that whatever makes for honest and efficient government, makes for our continued independence, and that its subversion is threatened by all that makes against good government.

Death came suddenly, sparing her the more painful infirmities of age. Mrs. Covington had long enjoyed the intimate friendship of Mrs. Gen. Grant, begun in Oregon, and continued at Washington City. The father and five children of a Portuguese family were drowned, on the 18th ult., at Honokaa, Hamakua, by the upsetting of the boat in which they were landing from the Iwalani. A blind roller broke upon the boat when broadside in the act of turning. The mother of the family alone was rescued. A son of fourteen had landed from another boat. There is no beach, only ragged rocks under a precipice. It is only a wonder that loss of life is not frequent in landing on this iron-bound coast, as it would be but for the skill and swimming power of Hawaiian sailors.

East Maui has had a gorgeous Christmas. The Makawao Church has done its share toward making the day remembered. The first event was on Monday before Christmas when a tree, furnished by the church with fruit, and managed by Mrs. M. L. Hall, the superintendent, was given to the Mission Sunday School at Hamakuapoko. Tuesday eve a fine tree showered its fruits among the native children of Haiku Sunday School. This was given by the children of the Makawao Foreign Sunday School, who gave an entertainment some weeks ago to raise the funds. The entertainment and the expenditure of the proceeds were under the management of Miss Mary Beckwith, who deserves great credit for both. Wednesday evening was everybody's Christmas Tree. Among others a large tree was erected at Mr. Baldwin's house, the pleasures of which were participated in by the whole neighborhood. The same evening twelve bullocks were slaughtered, and many bags of sugar were distributed among the employees of Paia and Haiku Sugar Plantations. Every officer of the company from the lunas up had also a golden testimonial of the good feeling existing between employers and employees. Thursday night was celebrated everywhere by eating of geese, turkeys, ducks, etc., and the transfer of presents. All the young officers of the two plantations were gathered to a grand banquet at Mr. Baldwin's house, which was a great guccess. Friday night the festivities were brought to a close by a supper at the church, folldUted by business meetings and a social. I think this will last us till next Christmas.

But it is only on the makai side. One looks to see the attempts at sidewalks on the upper side corrugate themselves in selfcontempt and shrivel up in the presence of such a decent neighbor. But they are too dislocated—disjointed—disconnected, —too generally and specifically disreputable to feel any shrinking from the public disgust at their unseemly, unbecoming, uncivilized, unsightliness. Why does not a committee of citizens organize to tear up and abolish such a leg-breaking nuisance, which drives everybody into the roadway?

Advertiser, Dec. 13, 1890. 5 Volume 49, No. I.] The complete change that has passed over England within this past fifty years in the matter of Church work and service, no one can describe. It has made its presence felt everywhere. The old question of vestures, which used to be so made a matter of mockery against Puritans, because they had great and conscientious objection* to vestures, has a curious counterpart or counterfeit in the extraordinary enthusiasm that makes the modern Anglican suffer penalty and imprisonment for the sake of a vesture he wants to wear. In the architecture of the churches there is a return to the Catholic idea in the way in which they have been restored. Then there is the vast elaboration of services, processions, candles, chantings, so marking the religious system of to day. But, above all, there is the new life of the clergy. The old squirrel-hunting parson has gone. The old man who cared to be a gentleman first, and was in the Church that he might be, has vanished, and there has come the vigilant vicar, the active curate, men possessed of the very noblest spirit of self-sacrifice and service.

The tidings come from Ponape that the natives, provoked by the aggravated misrule of the Spanish officials, have risen in rebellion against them. Last July a working party of the Spanish was attacked in t+ie early morning, and, as their guns had been left in camp many of them wen- killed. Some half dozen, including two priests, were saved by the kindly intervention of a Christian native. He brought them at the risk of his life to the Mission premises, and during the night succeeded in escorting them under cover of the darkness to a place of safety. The Governor sent at once for additional troops. Three ships of war and two transports came from Manila, reaching Ponape early in September. Then the fighting began, and the accounts given below show that thirty of the Spaniards were killed, but no Ponapeans. The U. S. S. Alliance had been sent from Japan on the receipt of the first tidings of the fight in July. Newspaper accounts say that the American missionaries, who were the instigators of the revolt, had been deported to Kusaie. This cannot possibly be a correct version of the affair, for no American missionary, except Miss Palmer in charge of the girls' school, has been on Ponape since the Star took away Mr. Doane last February. Miss Palmer cannot possibly have incited this revolt. It is entirely the doing of the Ponapeans themselves. "Prom a letter written by Miss Rose M. Kinney to Mrs. H. Bingham, and dated Anapauo, Ruk, Caroline Islands, September 19, 1890: "I reached here on the 17th. We waited three weeks in Ponape to give Mr. Rand time to decide what had best be done, for they expect the gunboats every day, and then the fighting will between the Spanish and the natives. At first they thought it might be safe on the other side of the island, but the Governor said that there was no safety anywhere, and it was decided to take Miss Fletcher and Miss Palmer with the girls who still stayed with them to Mokil or Kusaie for safety, until it was decided what was best to to do, Ifrs. ''and and Miss Foss going back and forth on the Star, and Mr. Rand stopping in Ponape until the Star returned. To save time and relieve the minds of the friends here (Anapauo,) I came on in a little schooner. "'I left Ponape September 11, and the gunboats were that day leaving the harbor, one to go to Kiti and the other to go to Ova, and there had 500 or 600 soldiers already gone across the island by a path over the mountains, and it was reported that the fighting was to begin that day. So probably before this the war has begun. The Ponapeans have made all the preparation they could, and will sell their lives and (Concluded 6.) page on �8 Janury, 1891. THE FRIEND. (THK Y. 31. C. A.

If you want to marry a rich man's daughter, or borrow $500 from him, ask him for it; it amounts to the same thing in the end. It is always better to astonish a man than to bore him. Remember that in the morning of life come the hard working days. Hard work never killed a man. It's fun, recreation, relaxation, holidays, that kill. The fun that results in a head the next morning, so big that a tub could hardly cover it. is what kills. Hard work never does. Those who come after us have to work just as hard ar we do. When I shovel snow off my sidewalk, if perchance I take a three-quarter piece off my neighbor's walk, I put it back, because if I didn't I should be doing him an injustice.

Ropes of bark were prepared, over by petty kings or high chiefs. Anecdotes of three of these aliis who successively ruled over the large district of Kau, are still current among the natives. They are not mythical, but actual events. Koihala the alii of Kau was about making a voyage from Kona to Kau in his fleet of canoes. He sent word to his people of Kau to meet him with supplies of food on a certain day .it Kapua. The people cooked hogs, dogs and potatoes and prepared poi, water in calabashes and other supplies in sufficient quantities for the chief and his retainers, and sta.ted afoot with their burdens to meet him. On arriving at Kapua the fleet came along but did not stop. The alii called to the people ashore to go back to the next landing towards South Point. They resumed their burdens and retraced their steps to this place, the king proceeding by sea. At this place they were told to go on still further to another landing. This was repeated several times and they were finally told to climb the steep pali and meet the king at Kaalualu around and east of South Point. The people were tired, footsore and hungry from their wearisome travel over the lava and determined upon a different reception to their alii from what he expected. They said "we will teach these chiefs a lesson not to wear us out with their capricious whims. We are hungry and we will eat the food and give him another article of diet instead." So they sat down and ate up the food and filled the ti-leaf containers with stones and proceeded to near the coast and sat on a slight hill to await the coming of the chief and his party. He landed and proceeded up the ascent to receive his hookupu (tribute of food). When near, the people stood up and, taking the stones from the containers, threw them at the King and his retainers saying, "Here is your pig," "Here is your dog," "Here are your potatoes," etc., and Koihala was killed. The stone, a short way on the road from Kaalualu to Waiohinu is still pointed out as the exact spot where Koihala—the exacting tyrant —met his death. Another chief, Kahaikalani, was told by the priests that he must build a heiau, or temple, on the summit of one of those abrupt hills or craters which lie in the rear of the present Hilea Plantation. The people, men, women and children were all called out to perform this task. Stones in large quantities had to be carried up the steep hill to the summit. When the temple was completed, a certain large tree growing on the land below had to be felled and dragged up to the summit, there to be made into an idol for the temple. On the top of the hill was a dense forest, but none of these gel of the mind; the magic wand of memory; the splendid enginery of will; the witchery of love; the pure, bright flame of God's spirit gleaming at the center of all other powers, and lighting up the mighty galleries of mind—all these are royal gifts that all were meant to share.. But out yonder on Chicago streets well nigh five thousand shops are licensed to sell the poisons that darken every window of this temple built by God and lighted by the Holy Ghost. And the Woman's Temple, whose corner-stone we are so soon to lay, is reared because the noblest temple in God's universe is marred and blackened, shaken and shattered by the saloon poison that sickens every sense along the streets of all the world." "The man who drinks dese* crates the holiest temple in the universe. The man who sells intoxicating drinks is a temple desecrator by profession, and the Woman's Temperance Temple carries these supreme lessons to every thoughtful eye by its presence, by its name, by its uses, by its corner-stone bearing the sacred words, "To God and Home and Native Land." We append the last two stanzas of the noble hymn for the occasion "What means this stone?" by Mrs. Mary J. and the people in long lines were made to tug at it, and, after severe labor, they got the log to the steepest part, but could go no further with it. They then said to the chief, "You and the priests go to the lower end of the log and push, and at a signal we will make another effort to get it up to its place." The king and priests took their stations, and with a great shout the people made a superhuman effort, and the log started again on its upward course. When nearly at the top, upon a signal which was preconcerted, the people let go of the ropes and the log went trashing down the hill, destroying king and priests in its course. Thus the reign of another tyrant and his advisers was ended. Halaea, another ruler of Kau, was very fond of fish. His custom was when the people were out in the deep water off the South Point with their long nets, after they had made a good haul, to proceed out in his royal canoe and select from each the best fish that were taken. On one occasion the people determined to put an end to his rapacity. The peoLathrop. ple were fishing off Kalae (South Point) From fair foundations wide as love, well out to sea and were very successful. When the king came along to make his To slender turret far above Shall into stone and arch be wrought, usual selection, the people crowded The glory of prophetic thought; around him with their canoes and each And throned upon the graceful height, Its emblem true shall stand in light one passed the fish into his canoe so fast Serene and line— that it was soon swamped and sunk and A woman's figure, calm and fair, Halaea drowned.

It is to be thirteen stories high, with extreme height of spire two hundred and sixty feet. It is two hundred feet in length by one hundred in depth. It will cost $1,100,-000, and besides halls and office§ for the W. C. T. D. work, will contain stores and offices renting for $250,000 per annum. We add the following short extracts from Mrs. Frances E. Willard's address on the occasion. * * "And doubtless as God sees, to whom there is no little and no great, the rare and radiant sphere of each man's brain is a million times more marvellous than any globe that glitters in the midnight sky.

There is an eternal beauty on the faces of some women whom a rough world may call homely; though their features may contradict all the laws of physiognomy, yet they have graces of soul that will keep them attractive for time and glorious through eternity. In the buried city of Pompeii was found the form of a woman, who instead of instant flight had stopped to gather up her jewels. She saved neither jewels nor life. Just so, how many try to get both earth and heaven, and lose both. �10 THE FRIEND. Faith Inspirers.—The greatest service which any man can render to his fellows is to inspire them with faith in themselves, to make them believe that they are capable of the. highest things, to fill them continually with that deep confidence which springs, not from overestimate of self, but from a tremendous hold on fundamental principles, an unconquerable faith in noble and worthy causes. livery man who has not utterly wrecked himself may know that he was born for the best things. To hear this inner voice and follow it, to make aspiration, not a dream which lies like a sunset light on the horizon, but a quenchless star which burns forever before one's confident feet, is to put one's self in the line of the noblest success. There are men and women whose whole atmosphere is critical, skeptical, and depressing; there are others out of whom confidence is breathed, and from whom strength goes forth unconsciously to themselves. They always appeal to that which is noblest in their fellows ; they always inspire their fellows with new hope and fresh courage. There is no joy in life so great as to be one of these faith-inspirers, to have this sub lime health of spirit which makes the very hem of one's garment healing, and diffuses courage, hope, and faith like an atmosphere through the world.—Christian Union. The Christianity of Christ—if only we could recover it—"pauses in life's pleasures to count its many tears," and "hides not itself," however disguised in rags and misery, "from its own flesh ," The bigger the work, the greater the The whole-hearted striving and wrestling with Difficulty; the laying hold, with firm grip and level head and calm resolution, of the monster, and tugging and toiling and wrestling at it to-day, to-morrow and the next until it is done; it is the soldier's creed of forward, ever forward; it is the man's faith that for this task he was born.
