Not lung before his death, the eminent Dr. Morell Mackenzie denounced the London College of Physicians and Surgeons for having declared leprosy not to be contagious. He charged them with having become the active cause of ■ recent great diffusion of leprosy, especially in the British colonies, by inducing a general relaxation of efforts to segregate the lepers. Hawaii is now dangerously threatened with a like evil, through the manifesto of a leading physician of Honolulu, who declares hinself convinced that leprosyis hut slightly contagious, and segregation needless. Long doubtful, he has become fully converted by a Report of an Indian Leprosy Commission. To older residents in Hawaii who persona ly witnessed the dissemination of this loathsome disease among the native people from its first appearance in the Islands, the conclusions arrived at by this Indian Commission seem prepos ' vis and eminently pernicious. The Editor of Thi Friend personally observed the process of dissemination in Lahaina from 40 to 30 years ago. The very first case in these Islands was a 57 Number 8. chief in Premier Auhea's household, who has prevailed for many thousand years, had been abroad, where he contracted so that most of the people inherit imleprosy.

It is six years since we last crossed the Pacific, nor should we be taking the; long journey if considerations of education and health did not required. In that period of time great changes have come to the Pacific coast of the United States, to the Hawaiian Islands, and even to China. The great missionary Conference in Shanghai in 1890, was the indirect means of great expansion in the ranks of missionary workers. While it is not likely that a thousand will have been added within five years—as asked for the attention of all the leading societies has been called in a forcible manner to the needs and difficult}' ofthe field. As heretofore, the greatest increase has been in the ranks of the China Inland Mission, which is now a vast network Mr. Neumann's Manifesto. to the outermost bounds of the Empire and doing a most useful preparatory Mr. Paul Neumann was in February work.

All this would have been taken at. once for mere vaporing, only that Mr. Neumann is not wont to expend his breath or ink without some practical object, at least to gain a fee thereby. No notice of Mr. Neumann's letter has been taken by Mr. Dole, nor has much comment been offered upon it by the daily papers. Neither has Mr. Neumann as yet followed up the impression made by farther manifesto or other action, so that the public is still in the dark as to the plan of campaign of which this declaration may have formed the beginning. It seems most probable that with the ignominious collapse of the dynamite conspiracy, and the retirement of Mr. Spreckels from the scene of political activity here, Mr. Neumann does not find the conditions propitious for a further movement upon the enemy. As, however, Mr. Spreckels is understood to be on his way to Washington, whither the contention over Hawaiian issues seems again about to be transferred, it remains to be seen what method of attack he may there pursue. The Provisional Government in the meantime have met Mr. Neumann's demand for positive action in a different way, The cause of delay having been removed lis Mr. Blount having completed his important mission of inquiry, the Government have hastened to prepare for a resumption of negotiations for Annexation by sending forward Prof. Alexander to assist Minister Thurston therein. It may be remarked that the official submission of any public question to a plebiscitum of the Hawaiian people would be an entirely novel proceeding. Their native rulers reluctantly gave them only a very limited voice in the Legislature. The)' have never possessed the power to elect more than one half of the members of that body, nor has it ever been deemed safe to entrust them with a larger share of political power. No suggestion of a plebiscitum appears to have emanated from Washington at any time.

' It is perhaps not strange, yet deeply to be regretted that general public sentiment among the native Hawaiians is opposed to the segregation of the lepers, and tends to sympathize with their resistance to arrest. This feeling, in which theirnative sovereigns have somewhat participated, has always stood in the way of thoroughly carrying out segregation. As the consequence, the progress of infection among the people has never been effectually arrested, and there is no doubt that thousands of new cases of leprosy have occurred, which thor ough segregation for the pas' twenty years would have prevented. the arrest of all the lepers at Kalalau, except Koolau. The latter was brought to bay upon a ledge high up on a precipice, and protected by dense thicket and forest. In two attacks made upon his stronghold, on successive days, he shot the leading soldier.

American Interests in Hawaii. Minister of Finance Damon has pub lished statistics showing that the investments in Hawaii in incorporated and business firms amount to 37 millions of dollars -in a total property value of over 50 millions. Of the 37 millions, the Americans including those born here, own over 26 millions, or 70 per cent. All whites together own ( .»7'.. percent ofthe property of the business firms and corporations. Natives and half-castes own barely half a million of these business interests, Asiatics representing the balance. Of non-commercial property such as land and dwellings, undoubtedly natives own a respectable proportion. There is a considerable number of mechanics among them. From the enormous predominance of white property and business interests in Hawaii, it will easily be understood that whatever claim the native may have in justice to govern the country as he has done in the past, it is the inevitable tendency that the white man should take the conduct of public affairs into his own hands. The best class of natives recognize tiiis inevitable necessity and are wise enough to cooperate with it. The more ignorant or headstrong recalcitrate and seek to assert the prerogative of the native and his chiefs. It was the misfortune of the ex-queen, that she was unable to recognize the necessity of ruling under white guidance, but was determined to be supreme at any cost. Otherwise she might have continued to reign undisturbed. It is obvious that the participation of the natives in the government of the country will be much more favored under the United States laws than it can well be under an independent republic. Forest Denudation. Commissioner Marsden, of the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry, makes an important report upon the drying up of the formerly very moist district of Hamakua, Hawaii, in consequence ofthe denudation of the ancient forest by sheep and cattle. He proposes active measures already being concerted, for the government and the planters to protect the remaining forest as well as portions of the denuded lands on which the bush will naturally grow again. We well remember when in 1836, Waimea plains were largely covered with a low forest, while a great belt of heavy woods covered the slopes to the eastward. The road to Waipio through this belt was a very difficult one by reason of deep mud and heavy jungle. �60 THE FRIEND. Rev. Dr. C. M. Hyde An Alleged "Murder Society." Writes from Ware under date of June 22nd. His letter is a varied one. Experiences on the Canadian Pacific route were delightful, exceeding anticipations. In Puget Sound "the morning sail towards the towering ice peaks was like journeying towards the pearly gates of purity and peace." The scenery of the Canyon of Frazer River most sublime. "The day at Banff Hot Springs was one long to be remembered." At Chicago "was most impressed by the ride in the Electric Launch around the Lagoon and Basin, getting a view from the water of all the Exhibition Buildings." He great ly admired the preaching of Mr. Hillis of the Presbyterian Church. "Coming on to Ware, found the heat reaching On the departure of Mr. Clans Spreckels from Honolulu, a cane was presented him upon the handle of which was inscribed these among other words, "Doomed to die by the Murder Society of the Annexation Club." How serious the author of that inscription was, is not curtain. He has since stated that it was "a grim joke." As circumstances have given this 'joke" an exceptional notoriety, we deem it necessary to notice the very severe accusation made. The Honolulu correspondent of the Associated Press reported to the American papers that on the discovery of the dynamite conspiracy oi the royalists, certain members of the Annexation Club had organized with the agreement that in case ofthe royalist plan being carried out, they would kill certain leading royalists, a list of whose names was given. The receipt of this report here, was a great surprise to all parties. It is entirely certain that the officers ofthe Annexation Club knew nothing ol the matter. It also appears to be certain that no organization of the sort alleged ever existed. There was probably some wild talk among the volunteeis who were called out on active guard'and patrol duty Such talk always occurs in such times of excitement. There seems no reason to believe that any organization was formed. The ill founded report however was eagerly laid hold of and embodied in the inscription upon the cane, attended by circumstances on which it is at present premature to comment. The Revolution in our Government has been attended by no serious public disorder or injury to lif or property. The record of our community has been in the highest degree creditable, and will doubtless continue so. Hawaiian Commissioner Alexander. The Provisional Government have appointed Professor W. D. Alexander as their Commissioner to assist Minister Thurston at Washington in farther negotiations for a treaty of annexation to the United States. Mr. Alexander took passage on the S. S. Monowai July 28th. It is considered probable that President Cleveland's administration having received Mr. Blount's report, will now take up the subject for consideration and action. It is understood that intimations to that effect have been received by Mr. Thurston, and the government are very hopeful of a favorable result. Mr. Alexander's most conspicuous qualifications for this service, are his very high personal characterand intelligence, and hisspecial knowledge as an expert in the social and political history of the Hawaiian Islands. He is the author of the standard History of Hawaii, containing theresults of great original research. For some years he has been the Acting President of the Board of Education, and greatly relied upon in the Councils of the government. Prof. Alexander several years ago, attended the Meridian Conferenceat Washington as Commissioner from Hawaii. 96°."

Postal Savings Bank, and Financial Confidence. This institution in Honolulu is probably the most noticeable measure ol public confidence in the Government. During the (Queen's resistance to the Legislature last Autumn, the withdrawals of deposits were so large as to greatly embarrass the Treason. This distrust was arrested by the appointment of the Wilcox-Jones cabinet. No in crease of withdrawals followed the revo lution of January. Subsequent events have, however, served to prevent a full restoration of confidence until this past month when.the evidences of the strength of th« government have grown so manifest that a rapid increase of deposits is going on. This is bringing needed relief to the Treasury, and sets free funds required for public works. �Vol. 51, No. B.] 61 THE ERIEND. Minister Blount examines Pearl Harbor. Sunday Attendance at the Fair. Six Months Old. On Saturday, July 23d, a party, consisting of Ministei Blount, Captain Nelson of the U. S. S. Adams, President Dole, Chief Justice Judd, Hon. W. P. Allen, P. C. Jones, Mr. Wright and Secretary Ellis Mills left the wharf in the yacht Hawaii under the command of Luther Wilcox for Pearl Harbor. The lines were cast off at 9:15 a. m. and the party arrived at Puuloa at 10:45 a. m. after a pleasant run over. After arrival at the future United States naval station the party sailed up the west loch to shoal water, and returning, proceeded to the peninsula wharf, where a landing was made for luncheon. After the inner man had been satisfied the party again boarded the yacht and sailed entirely around Ford's island, and reluming again, touched at the Peninsula wharf, where Minister Blount, Cap tain Nelson, Hon. \Y. !•'. Allen and Mr. P. ('. Jones were landed to visit the Ewa mill and return to Honolulu by rail. The remainder of the party returned by An unexpected result has followed the final determination of the directors of the Chicago World's Pair to keep their exposition open on Sunday. After the long and severe contest seemed to have been decided against those who desired to maintain the old and honorable American practice of Sabbath observance, a complete and ignominious defeat fell upon the directors, by no human devising. "Before they tried the experiment of opening the Fair on Sunday, they insisted that it would be the great clay for the people to attend, and we confess we believed as they. After an experiment of several weeks, the attendance has shown that the people really were not of the mind the directors supposed they were. The attendance on Sunday has been less, right along, than on other days of the week. Sunday, the 12th, the attendance was 71,21:!, against 7., 889 the Saturday before, and 77,11 Iti the Monday following. On Sunday, the IKth, it" was 59,900, against 148,994 the Saturday previous, and 85,29 l the Monday following. Last Sunday it wos 62,-028, against 125,8J0 the Saturday previous, and 91,160 yesterday." The result is that the Pair can be kept open on Sunday only at a loss, and the directors are obliged to close the gates. This is a practical demonstration of the honor in which the American people hold the Sabbath. It is a silent victory of great power. On the 17th of July the Provisional Government completed the first six months of its existence. Said the Star: "In the six months past it has maintained order, strengthened the national finances, suppressed an incipient conspiracy, secured complete recognition at the hands of the United States and overcome a powerful moneyed opposition. Duiing that time the gravest predictions have been made here and in San Francisco of its immediate collapse and downfall, but all of them have come to nothing. At least twenty separate dates have been made for the restoration of the ex Cjueen, but each of them has borne Dead Sea fruit. Every week and every month has added to the self reliance of the powers that be, and made them more confident of final success." This appears to us a substantially correct statement. Even the two weeks since the above was published, have witnessed a very marked increase in the strength of the government, and in the manifest discouragement of their opponents. The political sky is apparently clearing up, and a better day seems to be opening upon Hawaii. sea. Mr. Blount was surprised to find on entering the harbor from the sea, that he had previously gained no proper idea of its interesting and important features by merely skirting its upper shores on the railway. The Minister made the occasion one of active investigation, as well as of the recreation originally intended. An excellent map was constantly consulted, which showed the careful soundings taken by U. S. naval officers, and verifying soundings were taken at interesting points, such as the N. W. angle of Ford's Island, where a battleship might lie up to the coral cliff, and run a plank ashore. Especially interesting was the proposed site for batteries at the end of Waipio peninsula completely enfilading the three miles of channel out to the bar. The Minister expressed himself as much impressed with the beauty of the uplands to the north and east of Pearl Lochs, and with their evident promise of future farms and homes for a prosperous agricultural population. Those also could not be well observed from the railway. Mr Blount showed himself to be a keen and alert observer of outward nature, and as active and incisive an asker of questions outdoors, as he has come to be so well known to be indoors. If the Minister makes as favorable report of us in other respects as he seems likely to do of Pearl Harbor and its surroundings, we shall be well satis- fied. The War in Samoa. The Monowai brought news from Samoa, of fighting on July Nth between the forces of king Malietoa, and those of his rival Mataafa, resulting in the total defeat of the latter, and his retreat on board the British war ship Katooinbu. Everything was quiet on Apia when the Monowai left. It is evident that no satisfactory or permanent adjustment has yet been accomplished of the relations of the natives and the foreigners, who are largely Ger mans. A government by British author ity would be acceptable to the natives, as their religion and civilization have come from England. The same would clearly be the best for all concerned. Neither independence or a joint protectorate is practicable. The case has strong analogies to that of Hawaii. Hon. J. O. Carter has resigned his position as a member of the Board of Health. As one of the ablest, most experienced and most efficient members, the loss of his services upon the Board is greatly to be regretted. The Rev. William B. Oleson Visited Boston early in June. The leading Boston dailies, the Journal, Herald, Globe, and Transcript, publish long interviews with Mr. Oleson, who reported the true condition of political affairs in Hawaii with great force and accuracy. He is doing admirable service, especially in refuting Nordhoffs abominable falsehoods. Trade With North-West Coast. The C. A. Steamer Mioweia took from Honolulu August Ist 3700 bunches and crates of bananas, consigned chiefly to Seattle. This fact indicates the immense opening on the North-west Coa,st for the sale of our fruits. In California our pines and bananas encounter a severe competition from those of Mexico and even the West Indies, which are brought up by the Southern Pacific. The upwards of 1000 miles farther transportation to Puget Sound from San Francisco gives the advantage to Hawaii in supplying that region, as the distance thither is not materially greater than to San Francisco. The C. &A. steamer moreover, are provided with cold-storage rooms which give an immense advantage for the transportation of perishable fruits. It seems certain that a large and growing trade of a most profitable nature is now being initiated between Hawaii, and the great states of Oregon and Washington, with British Columbia added. Large amounts of our rice and sugars will also go direct to the Northwest Coast instead of going by. way of San Francisco. �62 [Augst, 1893. THE FRIEND. RECORD OF EVENTS. July 2nd.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Hoard is responsible for its contents. Rev. O. P. Emerson, - Editor. Three of the senior students of the North Pacific Missionary Institute are at work in the field. Two are on Maui, Kama being at Haiku, and Kawaiaea at Kipahulu, while Isaia is at Milolii, Hawaii. Of the other two, Solomona is at his home on Kauai with his family, and Aiu is working in this city. Mr. Okabe writes from Hilo, July 27th, 'T have heard from Dr. Mori of Kohala, that they are ready to pay for a Japanese preacher. He desires to have an educatedperson because plantationswant to have him interpret for them once in a while. I think we had better send Ishikawa there, if he comes. I must work hard to raise $100 and get a printing press from Japan and start a paper in Honolulu. I am just at present planning to start a library in Honomu and two reading rooms at Wainaku Plantation. I hope all other plantations will follow the example." Though this is a time when it would seem hard for some of our good Hawaiian pastors to secure sufficient support, it is no time for them to think of leav ing their fields. Now is the time, if ever, for them to "stick." It would be a disaster to their parishes for them to go. The deluded parishioners who have been led into opposition by false counsellors will not always oppose. They must be patiently dealt with and helped. They were never in greater need of help than now. Their pastors are the ones to help them. Meanwhile we who can must help the pastors to remain at their posts. Such men as Revs. Waiamau and Pali are worthy of all help. Rev. E. S. Timoteo and John Wise begin their evangelistic work in this city this week. Eor the present it is to be closely associated with the Kaumakapili parish. It will be initiated with a canvas of the parish, an house to house visitation and probable holding of local meetings. Rev. Mr. Desha cannot (at present at least) join the work as he cannot leave his parish. Mr. Higgins and the young men who met at Emma Hall will doubtless iden tify themselves with it and prove a strong and helpful force. It is also hoped that all Christian "Kamehameha" boys who are in the city and are now connected with or are graduate from the school, will lend a hand to this work. There never was a city more in need of a change in thought than ours. We believe that there are many who are ready to welcome the Gospel just at this time. Certainly we all need its spirit. Nothing can help us more in the settlement of our troubles than the mind of Christ. 63 surrender of ourselves to God in service.

What need I more ? While engaged in his business, I am released from every other. It is faith's work to claim and challenge loving-kindness out of all the roughest strokes of God. Life is but the road of dying death is but the gate of life. Watch thyself as thy greatest enemy, so shalt thou become thy greatest friend. Those who wait on God, exchange their own weakness for his strength. Under God duties never clash. Our faith is fed by what is plain in Scripture, and tested by what is obscure. Every kindness done to others, is a step nearer to the life of Christ. Wealth is a blessing if God send it; a temptation if man ask it. How shall one hope to enjoy Christ's presence hereafter, if he cares little for his Lord's company here ? Behold the miseries that attend on riches; gained with toil, kept with fear, enjoyed with danger, lost with grief. 'Tis hard to be saved if we have them; impossible if we love them. Knock; continue in prayer and in every other way of the Lord; be not weary or faint in your mind; press on to the mark; take no denial; let him not go until he bless you; and the door of mercy, ofthe holiness, and of heaven shall be opened unto you.— Wesley. When the flesh presents thee with dc lights, then present thyself with dangers; when the world possesses thee with vain hopes, then possess thyself with true fears. The way to be safe is never to feel secure.

A Divine Providence, a controlling influence works in all human affairs There are occasions when more than at other times, we are made to feel that events are produced by a direction beyond human planning or foresight. Such a condition of affairs is that now prevailing in the powerful and wealthy nation of the United States. In the midst of abounding wealth, with their agricultural industries in the highest state of production, the land teeming with mines and manufactories, the nation is suddenly struck with a financial palsy, a business paralysis. It is so severe and pervading, that wealthy centers filled with banks are unable to make drafts or carry on exchanges with each other. The money is in the country. The property is all there. But a sudden panic of distrust has so befogged their holders, that they cannot proceed in the established channels of commercial action. Great houses and corporations go down like the tumbling of rows of blocks. One feels that the Hand of God is upon the nation. It is well for them, for us, for all men to be mindful of that loving, holy, awful Power above us Who can turn the minds and hearts of men The Blue Book accusation against the English missionaries in the New Hebrides of selling rum and fire arms to natives, when that trade has always been one of their greatest griefs, and the object of their deepest hostility, very fairly parallels Charles Nordhoff's impudent charge that the supporters of the Provisional Government in Honolulu were advocates of the Lottery Bill, when for months they had been strenuously denouncing that measure. Both these "misleading statements" are fine sample instances of the force of the name Diabolos or "false accuser," applied to Satan as the accuser of the brethren. The Kauai Industrial School. By an oversight, we omitted the publication of this valuable report in The Friend for August. This school is very dear to the hearts of its founders, who are putting into it a great strength of love and labor, and are making it a great educational power for Hawaiian boys, notwithstanding their lack of pecuniary means. It is such struggling, earnest work as this, which very commonly produces the most effective results, because it impresses itself so deeply upon the hearts and lives of the pupils. They are made to feel the per sonal power of loving sacrifice and devotion, as in the earlier years of Oberlin and Mt. Holyoke. Such schools have a noble future. 185)3. 65 The Friend. Number 9. New Wing of the Bishop Museum. The new wing of the museum is 42x65 feet, and when completed will cost in the neighborhood of $100,000, giving an additional space nearly three times that of the present structure. Prof. Brigham says the new addition has been constructed and especially arranged for a museum, and when ready for occupancy, in connection with the old portion, will far exceed any building in the world used for museum purposes. As an evidence of stability of the new wing, the walls are made double thickness and the floors in the basement are from six to eight feet in depth. The foundations in some places are as deep as fourteen feet. A large collection of shells numbering some two hundred and fifty varieties has been recently received as a gift from Mr. Bishop, upon which Professor Brigham is now engaged classifying and preparing for exhibition. Among the many improvements made recently at the museum are four large plate glass frames five and one-half feet high, and five feet wide, in which are kept the valuable feather cloaks which belonged to the Kamehamehas and which are valued at $100,-000 each. The glass for these frames cost the government more than $125. P. C. Advertiser. — The Treasury Balance has increased $60,000 during the month of August. The payment of salaries, however, at the end of the month will have taken off the larger half of this increase. Liberal expenditures for public works have been going on during the month. The financial condition of the government is excellent, and its position in every way is strong and assured. A Pleasant Reception was given by the ladies of Central Union Church on Tuesday, the 22d, to Rev. W. Rader of Oakland, who has ministered very acceptably, occupying the pulpit for four Sabbaths. The parlors were well filled ) about 200 guests being present. �66 THE FRIEND. [September, 1893.

In visiting the other islands nowa days one has not to submit to several days drifting in a small schooner, all but suffocated in a stuffy so-called cabin, or over trodden by the live stock and ohuas of a deck passage, with food as anil when obtainable. Fine steamers now ply between all ports of the islands, affording satisfactory assurance of a speedy trip, with all conveniences and Comforts. And to a still greater degree are the improvements in our communications with the outside world. In place of the occasional vessel to and from the Mexican or South American Coast, with a foreign mail oftentimes six months en route, we have now our regular sail and steam lines with San Francisco, bringing us oftentimes the events of the world in sin days, with regular packets with other Pacific Coast ports, the Colonies. China ami Japan, Boston, Liver- pool, 1!n men, etc. some few 11l things we have perhaps retrograded in the past quarter century, but though our harbor has not boasted sheltering 200 ships at a time since the "palmy days" in the early fifties, we can show growth to a more uniform and substantial basis, both commercially and financially, than the dependence upon the whaling fleet allowed. During the seven years of plenty at these islands from the visits and refitting of whale ships, from IS'i.i to 1889-, the value of our annual imports ranged between $1,029,669 to $1,590,837, and our exports from $472,996 to $'.i:t 1 ,:t-'9, of which latter from one-third to one-half were foreign re exports. The customs revenues during the same period averaged less than $ I -10,000 per annum, and the internal taxes ranged at about $01,000 a year. 'The annual taxes the past few years have exceeded halt a million dollars, and the customs receipts keep still ahead each year. The value of our domestic exports the past ten years, which has ranged from $8,133,344 to $13,874,341, has st times more than doubled the total imports each year. Our industries, almost wholly agncul tural, which may he safely said now to exceed $15,000,0011 per annum, have developed since the decline of the whaling fleet, and largely within the past twenty years. 'The Custom House gives no figures of exports values for 1843, hence, the above development is entirely with in the period of The Friends existence. May the next fifty years witness as satisfactory advancement. THE FRIEND. First Mention of the Puritans. I have in my posession a detailed account of the tempei of parties in England, drawn up in the year 1885, three years before the Armada came. 'The writer was a distinguished Jesuit. The account itself was prepared for the use of the Pope and Philip, with a special view to the reception which an invading force would meet with, and it goes into great detail. 'The people of the towns London, Bristol, etc.—were, he s.ivs, generally heretics. The peers, the gentry, their tenants, and peasantry, who formed the immense majority of the population, were almost universally Catholics. But this writer distinguishes properly among Catholics. There were the ardent, impassioned Catholics, ready to be confessors and martyrs, ready to rebel at the first opportunity, who had renounced their allegiance, vvho desired to overthrow Elizabeth and put the Queen of Scots in her place. The number of these, he says, was daily increasing, owing to the exertions of the seminary priests ; and plots, he boasts, were being continually formed by them to murder the Queen. 'There were Catholics of another sort, who were papal at heart, but went with the times to save their property, who looked forward to a change in the natural order of things, but would not stir of themselves till an invading army actually appeared. But all alike, he insists, were eager tor a revolution. Let the Prince of Parma come, and they would all join him ; and together these two classes of Catholics made three fourths of the nation. "The only party" he says (and this is really noticeable), "the only party that would tight to death for the Queen, the only real friends she had, were the Puritans (it is the first mention of the name which I have found); the Puritans of London, the Puritans of the sea towns." 'These, he admits, were dangeri his, desperate, determined men. The numbers of them, however, were providentially small. The date of this document is, as I said, 1885, and I believe it generally 'The only mistake is that accurate. among the Anglican Catholics there were a few to whom their country was as dear as their creed -a few who were beginning to see that under the Act of Uniformity Catholic doctrine might be taught and Catholic ritual practised ; who adhered to the old forms of religion, but did not believe that obedience to the Pope was a necessary part of them. One of these was Lord Howard of Effingham, whom the Queen placed in his high command to secure the wavering fidelity of the peers and country gentlemen. But the 67 Vol. 51, No. 9.] force, the fire, the enthusiasm came (as the Jesuit saw) from the Puritans, from men of the same convictions as the Cal vmists of Holland and Kochelle; men who, driven from the land, took to the ocean as their natural home, and nursed the Reformation in an ocean cradle. 7. A. Frouile in Longman's. — Enlisting Japanese for Guatemala. Captain Walter 11. Ferguson has been in Honolulu for several weeks past, en- gagingJapaneselaborers to go under con tract to work on coffee pi nt.itions in Guatemala. He has secured about IM| whom he proposes to forward .is an advance- party. Captain Ferguson 111, iv be remembered as the party vvho last year secured a shipful of laborers from the Gilbert Islands, and conveyed them to Guatemala on the steamer Montserrat. 'There was n ii .plaint of fraud in securing the l.ihoiers, which was done under the observation of a British War-ship. They appear also to have been veiy well treated on the voyage. It is alleged that there has been great mortality among on the plantations in Guatemala. Of the truth of this we know nothing. 'The Japanese Consul and other authem thoi ities here are greatly opposed to their countrymen going to Guatemala, with which country Japan has no treaty to secure them against ill usage. One Antone Cloys and others have written to the papers denouncing the ill-treatment and hard fare of contract laborers there. Professor W. T. Brigham who is a high authority, also gives unfavorable testimony. The general character of both social and political conditions in Central America gives strong presumption against security and protection being well assured by law to contract laborers from foreign lands. They are a class easily oppressed and needing strong and upright rulers and magistrates to secure their rights. Captain Ferguson has caused Antone (Hoys to be prosecuted for criminal libel, as well as the editor of the paper in which Cloys' statement appealed. It is certainly important to the cause of justice and humanity that all such enterprises as those of Captain Ferguson should be thoroughly scrutinized. Journalists who aid in doing this are rendering an eminent public service. Ferguson and his attorney Paul Neumann were conducting their operations with a secrecy which no doubt may be quite consistent with honorable and humane intentions. Yet in view of the past terrible abuses attending labor shipments, we are glad that the Star and the Advertiser have turned their search lights upon the whole business. �68 Departure of Minister Blount.

About the middle of the month the Government began to receive specific information of the ripening of a second active conspiracy to overthrow the Pro visional Government and to restore the Queen. The recources of the conspirators were totally inadequate, and their scheme foolhardy, and unlikely to be actually attempted. It was thought, however, the proper thing to have the facts reported in an informal manner to Admiral Skerrett, he being the chief official Representative of the United States in the absence of an American Minister. This was done on the evening of the 17th. Although the Government needed no help and asked for none, the Admiral sent instant orders to the Boston and the Adams to be prepared for an immediate landing of their forces at any time. The plans of the conspirators involved dynamite explosions and firing of the city in many places simultaneously, giving occasion for carrying out the standing order as given by Mr. Bayard in 1887, "to protect the lives and property of Americans, and to maintain pub lie order." The shore liberty of the men was stopped for four days, in order to keep them in readiness. The Government at the same time placed its special patrols on duty, and took other measures as provided. This attitude of the Governmentand especially of the naval forces had the effect of disheartening the conspirators. The ac tivity of the Admiral on the side of order had a particularly discouraging effect upon their adherents. No arrests are likely to be made. Al though there is a moral certainty as to the leaders concerned, it is quite another thing to establish their complicity before a jury, as has been cltarly shown in the acquittal last week of the conspirators arrested June 23d. An important result of this affair has been secured, in establishing the fact of a virtual protection of the Provisional Government or something very much like it, being exercised by the United States forces. Although the American flag was taken down on April Ist, its protection appears to be resumed. Deepening the Upper Harbor. The Dredger has been at work the past fortnight near Brewer's wharf at the upper end of the harbor, deepening the water at the wharves so as to admit the larger ships without obstruction. The mud is discharged upon the unfilled grounds of the Oahu Railway Company. Numbers of native boys are there saving the old bones pumped out, which bring half a cent a pound. Many old coins are pumped up. An old anchor and chain proved too heavy for the suction pipe, besides stopping the revolving cutter which roots up the mud. 69 THE FRIEND The Volcano Road. By latest reports we learn that carri nearly to the 24th mile post. The remaining seven miles traverse much better ground where the road should make rapid progress. In November 1790, the region around the crater was covered with gravel by a tremendous'explosive eruption. A large part of the uneven prominences of the pahoehoe lava were buried by the gravel. The road is now entering this smoother gravel district. The Olaa crown land lots fronting on the road, according to the /'. C. Advertiser, have all been leased, and many of them are being cleared and planted. By a condition in the leases, the forest is to be left standing for a depth of 250 feet from the road, excepting in front of the dwelling houses. The Kona Coffee Company have leased 24 lots of 50 acres each in Olaa. 200 acres have already been prepared for planting coffee, and 500,000 young plants are growing from the seed in the nursery. Philip Peck has leased a tract of 48 lots or 2400 acres, for a coffee estate. The surveyor E. D. Baldwin reports I 13,750 young coffee trees now growing on the Olaa Crown lots, and fifty buildings erected. All this is a small beginning of the results to flow from opening this rich but in accessible country by means of a good road connecting it with a sea port at Hilo. Some of the finest lands are in the rear of those which are staked out; but they are now wholly inaccessible until a branch road shall be built, or what will be better, a new and shorter route to Kilauea be opened, several miles north of the present road which makes a long detour to the southward. 'There are great tracts of rich moist clinker forest lands in that region admirably adapted to raising products of the temperate zone, such as potatoes, apples, peaches and the like, as well as coffee. These lands are from 2000 to 3500 feet in elevation, and are destined to be the garden spot of the Islands. All these go to show that Hilo is superior to every other sea port in the islands in the ex tent and richness of its back country. It has a great future, and we believe, not a distant one. ages now run Kilauea Active. The latest report from Kilauea is that last Sunday eve, the 27th, the ten acre fire-lake welled up mightily in a huge tide of fire, overflowing and carrying away all the parapet walls it had built up. and filling up the entire bottom of Halemaumau, converting the whole hundred acres into a broad sheet of surging lava. This was the biggest show since the last collapse three years ago. At the rate the bottom of Halemaumau has been rising or filling up, it cannot be many months before the lava will get high enough to commence burrowing out through tunnels and pouring out over the open floor of the main crater. This will initiate a new period and style of exhibit, one more interesting in some respects than the present; but the show is likely to become less accessible and convenient to visitors. Indeed there cannot be anything at Kilauea much grander than the great firtlake playing its fountains as now. Acquittal of Sinclair and Walker. These two men who were arrested near the end of June on the charge of conspiracy, were acquitted by a jury vote of 9to 3, on the 25th. The evidence was perhaps hardly sufficient to create such a certainty of their guilt as to secure an adverse verdict from an ordinary jury. The great object of the arrest, however, had been gained in the disorganizing of the conspiracy, and the securing of a good degree of public tranquillity in place of the disquiet and alarm fostered by the frequent boasting of the conspirators. A Sad and Singular Fatality on the 27th befel a young native named Hanuwela, or Hunnewell. He had been for several months employed as marker at a 500 yard target at Kakaako beach, where he sat protected by a bulkhead made of a double casing of plank filled with sand. It was his own duty to inspect the bulkhead and see that it and the sand were in safe condition. When the shooting began, he failed to make the signal, and was found lying dead behind the bulkhead. The high tide had undermined the casing, and partly washed out the sand. He had neglected inspection, and an ill-aimed shot had made the most of its evil opportunity and found the heart of the hapless youth. Hanuwela had been an esteemed pupil One of the Kamehameha School. might moralize much on such an incident. The Hawaiian Star gives a statement made by "a prominent employee of Claus Spreckels" that he had "transferred all his property on these Islands to his sons and daughter, so as to put it beyond the reach of any possible confiscation." This seems to refer to the allegation that Mr. Spreckels was in complicity with schemes to overthrow the Provisional Government. The Star goes on to give the substance of a deed Three thousand bunches of bananas of Mr. Spreckels recorded July 14th, 1893, conveying to his daughter a large were delivered from Ewa to the steamer number of pieces of real estate in this Australia last week by the Oahu Railway. city. �70 THE FRIEND RECORD OF EVENTS.

Juliette Smith. Malumalu, Kauai, July Ist, 1893. Dr. J. G. Paton Slandered. The latest complaint against Protestmissions in that quarter is leveled against Dr. J. G. Eaton, it would appear. It is official, being printed in a recent blue book. The charge is that the New Hebrides missionaries sell intoxicating drinks and firearms to the natives; and further, that they go away from their stations on holiday, in marked contrast with the Roman Catholic "Fathers," who are spoken of as sticking to their work. Now the simple facts are that the priests made no attempt to settle in the New Hebrides so long as their lives or property were exposed to danger. It was left to British Presbyterian missionaries to face the dangers of the situation, in which six of them lost their lives. It was only after they had made 15,000 converts, and thus rendered life and property secure in twenty islands of the group, that the French appeared on the scene; and as for any real converts, these "fathers" have made none at all. The Protestant missionaries are all abstainers; and, so far from selling rum and firearms to the islanders, Dr. Eaton was sent here to America to endeavor to secure our consent to the prohibition of that traffic. "The other nations Dr. Eaton says interested have said they will agree with Britain in this prohibition if America agrees to it. But as America has hitherto refused to agree, these curses of humanity—used by all traders there except the British—are causing much misery and loss of life. The whole responsibility of these evjls for some years has now appeared to rest on Christian America. But her good President and those under him are now reconsidering the whole question, and we hope God will lead him and them ere long to enter this clamant prohibition, and lead all the Powers interested for humanity's sake to agree, and so save our dear islanders from extermination through the greed of gain—at any cost—of godless traders." Dr. Paton is of the opinion that this attack upon his errand to America and Protestant missions is inspired by the French traders, or by the N. Y. traffickers in Kanaka labor. ant : Evangelist. — �72 [September, THE FRIEND. Kawaiahao Seminary. There seems tp be reason to felicitate the trustees and patrons of this honored and favored school for its prospects for the coming year. The capable Princi pal arrived last week from her tour East whither she was sent last May to study school work, and also to secure a new corps of teachers. She has brought with her seven ladies selected mostly from the excellent state of Ohio, and some of them from the well approved Oberlin. We doubt not they will prove all that could be desired, and that the school will receive a noble impulse under their efforts. With the improved prospects of the Hawaiian people in the removal of the corrupting influences of the Monarchy, our Girls' schools rightly supported, will contribute essentially to the uplifting of the people.

Elsewhere in this issue is an appeal about the need of preaching upon the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. We be lieve that the lack of this blessed Divine (lift is the great lack of the most enlight ened and favored Gospel denominations, as truly, though in less degree of deficiency as in the old tinreformed churches. Our churches have some experience of this Gift from time to time. Individ ual Christians among them here and there are found, who live in the habitual experience of "Joy in the Holy Ghost," and in His inward divine communion. Hut it is the unworthy and unhappy experience of the vast majority of Christians that they conduct their daily lives so badly that they manage to hinder the communing of the Holy Spirit with their souls. They do not earnestly obey His gentle promptings. They do not gladly, lovingly seek to hear His sweet voice in their hearts. They do not keep listening affectionately to His wise and tender whisperings. So they "grieve" the Holy Spirit, as one grieves and silences a loving friend and comrade by not lending to him an attentive ear and a complying disposition. Mr. Bristol asks, "why do not Ministers preach about it ?" Every word we have written above carries deep pain with it to the writer, in the consciousness of having daily done the same thing that is condemned. It is not easy or natural for one to preach to others a high practice of holy living and divine communing which is not in a good degree a part of his own habitual experience. Hut no less is it a clear and undoubting conviction, begotten of occasional personal experience, that there is a high plane of glorious lite and joy in (iod, in which it is permitted to every Christian believer to live, who has the resolution and self renouncing to follow the Lord closely. Another thing, it is a difficult and delicate task to call on Christians to come up on that high plane of spiritual living, when they are with few excep turns, living together upon a lower and Comparatively unhappy plane, and taking it as a matter of course to do so. It seems about tliconly effective thing a pas tor can do in this regard, to learn himself to be a very joyful and very single hearted practiser of this thing, privately also leading some select spirits in the same good way, and by this personal example drawing as many as possible into the I ligher Life of the Spirit. It would seem to be impossible for any one to have this joy of communion with the Holy Spirit whose heart is in any way set upon lucre, or social distinction, or sense-pleasure, or any earthly aim, so as not to hold every desire of the kind ready to be instantly set aside at God's call. The Spirit's sweet ministrations ate most apt to come in power, after one has obeyed some call of the Blessed Friend, and put away some thing much desired, for His sake. Christ's people here in Hawaii, as distinctly as at any advanced post of His kingdom in this world, are called on to equip themselves fully for the great work we have to do, the contest to wage, the light to uphold, the dark souls to illumine. Shall we not then gird ourselves up to our glorious task by inviting and cherishing the Divine Presence within our souls ? Of what worth are all these lower objects the 73 The Friend.

Everyone who wills it heartily, can get his soul filled with God's presence, and so with heavenly gladness, such as makes other joys poor and trivial. HAWAII STILL WAITING. We are still without a declaration of President Cleveland's policy on the Hawaiian question. Of the views entertained by Secretary Gresham and Mr. Blount, we suppose that we have a somewhat definite idea in the main though not in detail. The scheme arrived at by these high officials in probably as follows: To establish a Protectorate over Hawaii, strong against external interference. Hut little interference with internal conduct of the government. The Provisional Government to be guaranteed againstt internal disorder? until such time as a Republican form of government can be organized with such restrictions upon suffrage as will ensure capable administration of the government; and such new government also to be guaranteed as before. This is the general outline, as we think is reliably ascertained. It hardly need be said that no revival of the native monarchy is for a moment thought of by the Washington statesmen, nor any such extension of suffrage as would admit the incapable classes to participation in government. Of course such a scheme as the above has to be approved by the President and Senate on one side and by the existing Hawaiian Government on the other. The latter would probably accede to any reasonable plan like the above, although believing Annexation as a Territory to be far more in the interest of both countries. We have no reason to suppose that the President would oppose. We trust that the Hawaiian Problem is nearing a solution which will afford a tolerable modum vivendi, and good and stable government. We believe that in His own good time, the Lord will bring Hawaii out into a large place. �Some Reply. to Mr. Davies. We regret to feel it necessary to make The Friknd so largely a medium of political controversy, but find it unavoidable. It now seems necessary to take up an "open letter" of Mr. Theophilus H. Davies, of date in England, August 26th, in which he applies much castiga tion to our friends and ourselves. We do not propose to follow him into all his positions, leaving the refutation of much of those to the secular journals. Some thing seems necessary to be said, however, in defense of the political attitude of ourselves and our Christian brethren which Mr. Oavies so severely impugns, with a high tone of superiority and much misapplication of Scripture. We would thank our friend, however, for so emphatically advertising as he has done, the very weighty and significant fact, that the whole body of Evangelical Protestant Christians in these Islands are practically a unit against the native monarchy and for annexation. It seems to us that the weight of character of our body, and our unanimity of opinion should have rendered him more modest in sitting in judgment upon us, notwithstanding his eminent success in commercial pursuits. We are glad to acknowledge that Mr. Davies abstains from imputing to us wrong motives. In the same spirit we credit him with honest intentions, and with no doubt a sense of chivalry as well as of duty in doing battle for the supposed right of his ward the Princess Kaiulani. His responsibilities to her seem to us to have clouded his judgment as to the merits of the cause of Royalty in Hawaii —a cause which his moral instincts would otherwise have shown him to be a most pernicious one, and his business judgment a most impracticable one. His language in the following paragraph does honor to his right feeling: I hope no one will think that I under-rate the problems of corruption and perplexity with which the leaders at Honolulu had and have to deal. I am aware that they have on the side of annexation a large portion of the intelligence, energy and integrity of foreigners, and that many of the men whose action I feel bound to criticize so severely have been impelled as they thought by high principles and self-sacrificing motives. But good intentions cannot make up for erratic actions or for mistaken judg- " ment." To go right to the heart of the charge which Mr. Davies makes against us, the onus of his accusation is that we are conniving at offering to the United States "a stolen kingdom." This term he quotes from the New York Times. It means that the sovereignty of Hawaii which is tendered to the United States is not offered with the consent of a majority of the people of Hawaii, and that it is robbery of that people to convey what belongs to them without their [October, THE FRIEND. 74 The language of the Times article, which Mr. Davies seems to adopt, is an application of Democratic principles belonging to the mature and self governing American people, to the very different people of Hawaii. "From the people only are all just powers of "Title government to be derived." must be shown in the consent of the consent. governed." Mr. Davies certainly does not recognize the application of this extreme democratic principle to the subjects of British dominion. He knows that a vote of the people of Ireland would promptly throw off British sovereignty. England's 250 millions of subjects in India were never asked their consent, never would have given it, and would now unanimously reject England's beneficent rule. The consent was asked of none of the peoples inhabiting the Territories successively annexed to the United States, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona. In every case, the mass of the people were intensely opposed to the measure, except in Texas where Americans had swarmed in and perhaps constituted a majority. Yet no one questions the righteousness of such annexation, and its immense beneficence is conspicuous. The sadly wasting Hawaiian people have proved incapable of even main taining their own existence. No people were ever in greater need of friendly care and guardianship. Gentle, pliable, warm-hearted, they are fast dying out through sensual vice, superstition, and persistent ignorance in spite of schooling, preaching and training. They are not in a condition to be consulted as to their political destiny. Politically they are only children. They are to be dealt with in statu pupillari. That is the position which they have really never emerged from even in political form. The native Hawaiians have never held Under missionary legislative control. influence, a representation was granted to the people in the Legislature by the King. He took good care to reserve to himself the appointment of half the Legislature, the Nobles. The Legislature was always kept under the control of the King, and the people never allowed to exercise a control for which they were totally unfit. The then King having proved fatally incapable of governing, in 1887 the foreigners wrested from him the appointment of the Nobles, and placed it in the hands of a special Electorate with a high property qualification. The common people were not entrusted with rule, any more than before, because in their childishness and general incapacity, they were totally unfit for such rule. The people of Hawaii, if by that term is meant the natives, never were consulted about great affairs, and never could be. The proposition to ask tht.ir opinion now is a preposterous one, and is 1893. not dictated by any desire for the public good. We hold that the affairs of any people can be usefully and safely directed only by that portion of them who have sufficient intelligence and character to decide and act. The itk.ss of the native people ate destitute of such qualifications. They are babes in character and intellect. The best of their intelligent and capable men, the Kauhanes, Deshas, losepas, Kaluas, are eager for annex ation, as the safe harbor and refuge from the troubled sea of internal and external political turmoil, and from the unspeakable corruption of the monarchy which they know by intimate and pain ful experience. It seems to us that the people of Hawaii are truly represented by those who hold in their hands all the commercial and material interests of the country, and who now control the government by virtue of character and capacity. Those people have the right to speak in the name of the people of Hawaii, as much as a captain of a ship speaks for his ship's company, or the general for his army, or the teacher for his school, or the father for his family. When such true and competent representatives of the Nation of Hawaii as this Provisional Government tender its sovereignty to the United States, to call that "stealing" and "robbery" is mere railing. Their action was dictated by the highest consideration and most benevolent wishes towards all concerned. To point out the beneficence and the necessity of the annexation of Hawaii to the United States would carry this article beyond due limits, and may safely be left to discussion by others. Dedication of the Damien Monument. [l-'ron. the Honolulu Diocesan Magazink.] Our readers are aware that severa month ago a beautiful monument to the memory of Father Damien was sent out from England, being the gift of the National Leprosy Fund Association, of which the Prince of Wales is honorary president. This monument has been erscted at Kalaupapa, a few minutes walk only from the landing, within the grounds of the Bishop Home, facing the public road leading through Kalaupapa to Kalawao. It is of Aberdeen granite, an ornamented shaft surmounted with a Maltese Cross, pierced at the intersection of the arms like the old Celtic crosses, springs from a solid pedestal of the same material highly polished, which stands on three steps, on the face of which is deeply cut and gilded the following inscription in English and Hawaiian : Joseph llamikn I)k Veuster Horn Sti Janlarv, 1840.

S. Hawaii. Among them were the Pis Ex Capt. J. A. King, Minister of the Interior, His Ex. W. O. Smith, Attorney-General and President of the Board of Health; Councilor |. Emmeluth, Dr. C. T. Rodgers, Secretary of the Councils, the Bishop of Honolulu and Mrs. Willis. At 4:30 p.m., the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Panopolis and Vicar Apostolic of the Hawaiian Islands in his Episcopal habit took his station in front of the monument, attended by the Rev. Father Wendelin, and two acolytes (leper boys) from Father Wendelin's Church, in scarlet cassocks and cottas, bearing incense and holy water, the Rev. Father Conrady of Kalawao being among the spectators. The ceremony commenced with the leper band playing "Nearer my God to thee." Mr. Edmund Stiles, under secretary of the Foreign office, as delegate of the President of the Provisional Government, then came forward and read an eloquent and touch ing address in English, which our readers have doubtless already perused in the daily papers, and then delivered to the natives the substance of the address in their own tongue. The Monument was then unveiled, and the Bishop of Panopolis replied in a few appropriate words, accepting the memorial in the name of the Catholic Mission, and begging Mr. .Stiles to convey his heartfelt thanks to H. R. H. the Prince of Wales and to the Hawaiian Government for their appreciation of the good deeds of the good Father Damien, with whom he was associated for the first five years of his missionary life, being present when on his knees he asked Bishop Maigret to grant him leave to spend his life to the consolation of the lepers on Molokai. He spoke in the same strain in Hawaiian. The Bishop then proceeded with the service, and wilh prayer, incense, and holy water duly solemnized the dedication of the monument erected to the memory of one, of whom, to quote the words of the Bishop, "as also of the Fathers and Sisters now living at the Settlement we can truly repeat the words engraved on the monument,—Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Nordhoff Flings a Boomerang. The following effort of Charles Nord- hoff in inventing accusations against "missionary children," is too ludicrous not to be noted in The Friend. There are several prominent and successful planters and agents among the sons ol former missionaries, perhaps one in twenty of the whole number connected THE FRIEND. with the sugar business. Mr. Nordhoff, however, identifies missionaries' sons as being the planters and charges upon them all the sins, real or alleged, of that enterprising and sometimes too grasping class of our citizens, of whom Claus Spreckels aims to be chief. In a letter of August 21st to the Herald he foolishly writes "Again, the census report for 1890, discussing the causes of loss of population in certain districts, remarks : 'The heaviest loss, both relatively and absolutely, is in Ka-u (Kah-oo). This is due partly to a consolidation of plantations, but chiefly to the policy of the planters in substituting Japanese with small or no families at all for Portuguese with wives and many children. "Now the 'planters' who are thus reported of, are largely the people who call themselves 'missionary children,' stockholders in sugar corporations." The "misleading" element in the above statement of Mr. Nordhoff, is that no missionary sons happen to have been interested in the Hilea and Hutchinson plantations in Kau, which are referred to. The funny part is that the owner of those plantations who consolidated them and fired out the Portuguese, was, so far from being a "missionary son,'' none other than the redoubtable Claus Spreckels himself who cooperated with Mr. Nordholf's labors against Annexation. This is about as awkwardly Rung a boomerang as ever a man shot himself with. The N. Y. Herald should employ some one to concoct lies about Hawaii who is less worn out in mind and body than poor Nordhoff. :— The Future Honolulu. Col. McArthur of the Troy Budget who visit us recently, sketches ourfuture, correctly we think, as follows : After that the Nicaragua canal shall be completed, the Pacific coast of the United States will have grown into a vast empire, there will be a wonderful development in the other islands and shores of the vast Pacific ocean, and speedily thereafter Honolulu will become the great stopping place for lines of steamers stretching out in converging rays like the spokes of a wheel in all directions marked by the compass, and then the City of the Isles will become a second Hongkong with a population in ten years after annexation to the United States of 10(1,000 inhabitants and many more after that. Honolulu is fated to a great future. There is no mistaking this tramp and trend of destiny. It is certainly coming. Honolulu will yet become a great winter resort, not only for the millions of people who will in- 75 habit the vast regions west of the Missisippi rivei on the American continent, but for other parts of the world. It will have advantages in climate, health and comfort with which other parts of the world are incomparable. Holy Cholera Well at Mecca. All Mohammedan pilgrim to Mecca ) the Jerusalem of Islam, their Holy City, are eager to drink and lave in the Holy well of Zem Z'\x\, which is in the heart of the city. They perform both operations simultaneously. Standing upon a flat stone over the well, each pilgrim has a bucket of the sacred fluid poured over him. He eagerly swallows all that he can catch of it, and the rest flows back into the well. E. Frankland writes to the London Times that he was received samples of the Zem Zin water through the India office and finds on analysing it, that it contains six times the amount of excrementitious matter that is contained in average London sewage. Col. Barchowsky Bey, consulting chemist to the Turkish government places the impurities of this water at a yet higher figure. He states that all filth in Mecca is buried in the earth and all the water that reaches this well has percolated through those masses of impurity. One tenth of all the pilgrims to Mecca die of cholera, and their companies spread it from that cholera center to all the surrounding countries. There is abundance of pure water in Mecca, but all pilgrims must partake of the Holy Well. A large part ofthe pilgrims are British subjects from India. British steamers are loaded with them. Yet England dares not place restrictions on this deadly pilgrimmage. Murderous Japanese Laborers. On the night of September Ist, the Japanese policeman at Ewa Plantation, named Okimoto Rinjiro, was called out of his room, when a mob of Japanese killed him by stabs and beating his head in with rocks. They had threatened his life for several days. His offense consisted in his activity in suppressing their gambling at night. Sixteen of the Japanese were arrested, eight of whom have since been released. 120 more declared themselves participants in the murder, and demanded also The same day they to be arrested. came up to town and repeated their demand at the Police Station, but were ordered to go back to their work. The repeated demands of Japan for her people here to share in the suffrage of the country, has naturally stirred up a disorderly and defiant disposition among some of them, which we are sure meets with no countenance from their officials. �76 The Board of Health at Kalawao. On the 11th inst., the members of the Board of Health spent the entire day at Kalawao. Other officials and visitors Their business accompanied them. and was general special inspection of Settlement, provision for the the Leper water supply and other needs, and es pecially settling about the conveyance to the Government, of all the kuleanas or land patches belonging to the old settlers of the place. Occasion was taken to unveil the Damien Monument. The Roman Catholic and Anglican Bishops were in attendance. We insert elsewhere the account of the ceremony as given by the latter. With the sentiments that inspired the erection of this monument we have the highest sympathy. Although our understanding of the facts as to Father Damien's peculiarities agrees with those stated by Dr. Hyde with no intent of publication, and with those subsequently published by Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson, the fact remains of his great devotion to the bodily relief of the lepers. His example has stimulated imitation by far more capable and qualified persons, in many leper retreats, and especially at Molokai. A prominent gentleman among that company of visitors stated to us that the lepers there were the jolliestset of natives he had seen anywhere. They are made extremely comfortable. All their necessities are well supplied. Their malady is a painless one, except as the vital organs are invaded in the latter stages. Medical treatment vastly mitigates the disease, although as yet it has failed to extirpate it. It is a great mercy to convey those suffering from this malady to any asylum where they can be doctored, fed and sheltered. THE FRIEND. The recent death of Mr. Richard Chute ol Minneapolis has been beard of with deep regret. During their visit in Honolulu last winter Mr. and Mrs. Chute made many warm friends. A warm tribute was paid to the memory of Mr. Chute by the Board of Trade of Minneapolis, of which he had been Pies ident at one time. Mr. Chute was an ardent sympathizer with the cause of the Annexation of Hawaii, and with all earnest Christian work. [October, Sweet Water of Pearl 1893. City.

But besides this is the affectionate regard of comradeship in the trying period of our Revolution.

During the thirteen months of their stay we have always felt that they were the true friends of the right cause—and true Americans. No other American war-ship can gain a warmer place in the hearts of the people of Honolulu than the Boston. Departure of the Boston. This honored ship left our port for San Francisco on the afternoon of the 26th, clearing the spar buoy at 3:39 p.m.. No salutes were fired. The government tug Bleu escorted her to sea, with the Hawaiian band, and a large company of citizens and officials.

A leper named Aikualani some five years ago shot and wounded an officer seeking to arrest him, and has since led an outlaw's life in the moun tains, in company with another leper. On the night of the 14th, he visited his house half a mile inland of the Ewa church, and fell into a furious quarrel with his wife. She seems to have been in a plot to arrest him, in which his rifle stock was broken. He shot her with the broken weapon, and in the early morning fired on other people and defied arrest by policemen sent down from the city. They got his children to leave the house, and a battle of two or three hours ensued in which the head officers were nearly grazed by the leper's shots. The thin boarding of the cottage was riddled, and the wretched leper shot in the head. He was utterly defiant and fought with maimed hands and broken rifle. Many joints of fingers and toes had crumbled with the disease. Aikua lani had been a school teacher. He and his wife were above the average natives in intelligence. The three children are interesting. They have relatives to care for them, but should be looked after by the authorities. It is most pitiful that this poor man should have regarded deportation to Molokai as such an evil, when he would only have enjoyed comfort there. 77 Fourteen lepers about the same date surrendered who had been hiding for years in Wainiha valley on Kauai in great poverty and misery. Three of them were too far gone to be brought away to Molokai. They had heard Irom the Kalalau lepers bow very comfortable they had been made, and were glad to seek the same relief. Notwithstanding these evils attending the policy of segregation, no one familiar with social conditions among Hawaii.ms can well doubt that failure to enforce that policy would result in a wide and rapid spread of the disease among not only natives but foreigners. When the story of the Worlds Fair is impartially written up we think it will appear that most of its troubles and losses have originated along the Midway Plaisance. The loudest clamor for Sunday opening was heard on that thoroughfare, and now it transpires, according to the New York Mail ami Express, that the effort of the directory to get the Clingman suit withdrawn or the injunction dissolved, is opposed solely at the expense of "concessionaires" who alone profit by open gates on Sunday. An open Sunday entails thousands of dollars of expense on the treasury, but it brings money into the coffers of Midway Satyrs, and they have raised $S,.'>UU to pa}' attorney's fees to keep up the fight. It is a case of poetic justice. The directors have themselves to blame for permitting heathen pimps to pander within an inclosure dedicated to an Exposition of four centuries of human progress. They are finding out that "He who lies down with dogs, gets up with fleas," and they will get small sympathy from the general public.— North Pacific Advocate. If all the grocers of your town were to leave some morning, you would want other grocers to come and fill their places at once. If your shoe dealers would leave, you would welcome others in their places. If your doctors, and preachers, and teachers would move away, it would be a loss to the town. Hut suppose all the saloon-keepers would leave. Would you be any worse off? Wouldn't you have a sober town? Wouldn't the money that went for liquor go to the grocer, the bntcher and the shoe dealer ? To say that saloons are a benefit to a town, either financially or morally, is the rankest kind of nonsense' and every honest man knows better. Outlook. — RECORD OF EVENTS. Sept.

Bingham arrivedssfely in Honolulu on Sept. 39, after an absence of a year and a half. Over one year was spent in New York city, whereas we have before recorded, Dr. Binghsm and his wife carried through the press of the American Bible Society his completed translation of the entire Scriptures into the Gilbert Island language. Copies of the hook were received here sometime ago, a beautiful volume. Large editions of this will undoubtedly be sold to the natives of that group, who are eagerly awaiting its coining. On his way hither, Dr. Bingham at tended at Chicago B few sessions of the World's Congress of Religions, and is the first person to bring a personal reThe fust port of them to Honolulu. testimony of allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ made in that Congress, was by a nearly black, but noble looking l'arsee lady from Bombay. The many eminent representatives of Christian Churches who had preceded her, had withheld their testimony to their Lord and King, Speaking Only of the Heaven Father, common to all the Great Keli gioflS. Until the l'arsee convert spoke, Jesus seemed to be left without a witness. The Rev. A. V. Soares, Pastor of the Protestant Portuguese Church in Honolulu, returned two weeks ago from Hilo, where he and Mrs. Soares haveenjoyed a month's vacation, much need ed, especially by Mrs. S. While at Hilo, Mr. Soares rendered important service to the Portuguese Church there, which owing to the absence of its pastor, is much in need of pastoral care. It comprises a membership of over eighty, with congregations of one hundred. Key. Mr. Baptist the pastor had been heard from among his kindred in Illinois. He had returned thus far from his visit to Madeira, where he had seen many of the relatives of his church members, Through the very great kindness of Mr. C. (!. Kennedy of Hilo, Mr. and Mrs. Soares were enabled to enjoy a week's sojourn at the Volcano House, in its cool, delicious climate, and to see the great wonder of the lire-lake. Mr. Soares' own church now numbers about 35 members. More are soon to unite. The Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary schools for Portuguese child ren, connected with this church, and under the instruction of the Misses 79 THE FRIKNn. 10.] Fernandez, Camara, and Pereira, num her about I "JO pupils, taught in the English language. These are well ordered schools in pleasant rooms, but rather crowded. Mr. Baptist's church numbers over eighty members. No schools are connected with it. Rev. O. P. Emerson, the Corresponding Secretary ofthe Hawaiian Board, is absent on a three months furlough in the Pastern U. S, His return is due in November. While away, this page is made up by the editor of the KrIBND. Rev. C. M. Hyde, D.D., is expected to arrive home in Honolulu at the end of October. He and Mrs. Hyde reach ed New York early in September on their return from a rapid tour in England and Europe with a "specially i onduct ed" party. This pleasure was given them by the kindness of a friend. Chinese Church and Mission Work. All hour spent October Ist with our dear Chinese brothers and sisters at the Lord's Table, gave delightful impres-sions as to the good progress and prosperity existing in their Christian life. Ihe improvements in their Church edifice appear to be Completed. The well known old organ of Port Street Church is there still rolling out rich tones under Chinese hands, although it looks only half as large as it used to eyes accustomed to the great new organ in Central Union Church. A well trained choir of Chinese sang familiar times. Baptism was administered to seven young babes and one adult. With all honor to our Baptist brothers, we must tell it, that our hearts go out more Warmly to these little lambs everytime hands to holy sprinkling are laid upon them; and the more clearly do we feel that this is in accord with the heart and mind of the Lord. The Mission Schools connected with this Church have reopened for the year. One hundred and seventy scholars are in actual attendance in the well graded departments. Our brother, Mr. r, W. Damon, has every reason for gratitude, in the great success and progress of the work under his care and superintend ence. "Why Don't Ministers Preach About It?" REV.S BYBRISTOL. The topic of our Sunday School lesson of July 30th was the "Baptism of the Holy Ghost, or the Reception of the Spirit by Believers in Gospel Measures." During the discussion of the subject a lady in my Bible class, who had become deeply interested, earnestly put to nic the above question, "Why don't ministers preach about it?" What COUrd I Bay? What answer give? Could I truly say tin) don't believe there are these rich measures of the spirit within our reach? or, believing, have had no experience in that line, and so leel disqualified to preach about it to others? or, that having had experience and believing, they fear that in doing so they would expose themselves to the charge of innovation and singularity? Bret hi en, how could I answer the question? I pass it over to ynu. Will you, each of you, reading this article in The Pacific, take it home as a personal question? Why have I not preached to my people on this important gospel Ihcine? Won't YOU pray over it, and ask the Holy Ghost to show you if you have been at fault in this matter; il you have kept hack from your people an important part of Ihe counsel ol (iod? You have preached on water baptism, what it signifies, its importance as a Christian I ite, and how adults can become proper subjects of it. But there is the baptism of the Holy-Ghost. It is vastly more important than that of (Jul great High I'liest alone watei. administers it. "He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with lire.'' That he did so at the day of Pentecost, with Wonderful results, we all admit; also in days following in Jerusalem, in Samaria, at Casarea, in F.phesus, and elsewhere, wherever Paul and Peter and Philip, and their brethren, proclaimed the gospel of their risen Lord. Wonderful were the results ol that bap tism. What new men it made out of the apostles and their brethren; new in their personal living, and new in success and efficiency of labor. It will be admitted that the great change came from a baptism of the Holy Ghost, administered by the risen Christ. "If I go away I will send him to you." Peter saul of the risen Christ: "Having received ol the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he bath shed forth this which ye now see and hear.'' Brethren, does this great High Priest still exercise his office of baptising wih the Holy Ghost and with lire, or did he lay aside his robes and retire from his office when thd last of the apostles died and the Christian Church had become planted and established? "No, no!" I hear you say. Our Redeemer, as Paul said, "continueth forever, and hath an unchangeible priesthood," and the great and most prominent part of his work is "to baptize with the Holy Ghost." You fully believe he baptizes now; that many have received it and that all need it and might have it, would they seek it as they should and as divinely directed; that he is more willing to give the Holy Spirit than parents to give good and needful gifts to their children. Why, then, brethren, don't you preach about that great baptism, which wrought such wonders in the early Church? �[October, 1893.

Christian peace is unclouded azure in a lake of glass. It is the soul which Christ has specified, spread out in serenity and simple faith, and the Lord God, merciful and gracious, smiling over it.

Dr. Meredith of Brooklyn antagonized it because of its rider, affirming that the Congregational Chinches did not believe in eternal punisment. Josepb Cook opposed Mr. Noyes' appointment as not based on the theological fitness ofthe candidate. Dr. Behrends pleaded for united action. J. K. Thurston expressed his grief at any such action, saying that at least $7:"><l,-(MIO now bequeathed in wills to the Board would be turned into other channels, in view ol such action. There were many brief speeches made, one of the best by W. E. Barton, the new pastor of the Shawmut Church, Boston. He spoke of the Board of Missions at Jerusalem, President Peter and Secretary James being doubtful about the orthodoxy of a young man whom the local church at Antioch had sent out, who pteacbed the doctrine of the salvation ofthe uncircumcised Gentiles.When the vote was taken, it stood 106 to -M in favor of the Committee's report. When it came to election ol officers, Dr. Thompson declined to serve on the Prudential Committee, and Dr. Alden declined to act again as Home Secretary. Dr. Henry Hopkins waa nominated in his place, but declined to accept. Dr. Daniels, the N, Y. District Secte tary was chosen. President Storm and the vice-President Blatchford had purposed to resign, but learning of the other resignations, were re-elected lest their withdrawal now should be considered as being the result of the action recommended by the Committee. So the way is clear for the new year with new methods and agents.

If on the contrary, of the cause Eighty volumes of these had been sent glory and the advancement bonds for in that should be I use and of Christ Madeira, Island of which excited to Madeira for the of the priests The Portuguese Exiles in Illinois. so much interest in the Christian world about the middle ofthe present century, is in the Atlantic ocean, nearly opposite Morocco. Part of the island is highly mountainous. The highest peak is upward of live thousand feet. The island is called Madeira, which means timber, on account of the ahundance of wood that grows upon it. Fire has been the most effective agent in time the removing the wood. At woods were constantly buttling for a period of seven years. Ever since its discovery by the Portuguese in 1 ll'J, it has been a part of the dominions of Portugal and subject to the laws of the mother country. The Roman Catholic being the religion of the state, the Portuguese were forbidden to become Protestants, as is the case in all countries where the Roman church controls the civil power. From one country to another the people lived and died in the most profound ignorance of the vital truths ol Christianity. No one stood up amid this mental and spiritual darkness and proclaimed to them the way of Salvation, until Dr. Robert K. Kalley, a minister of the Free Church of Scotland and also a physician, arrived at Madeira in 1838, He, with his wife, were on their way to China as missionaries, but owing to the illness of Mrs. Kalley, they were unable to pursue their journey, and so landed at Madeira. Entirely ignorant of the Portuguese language, he resolved to obtain the knowledge of it that he might declare in their own tongue the Plan of Salvation. He opened a school to teach the Knghsh language, with the design ol acquiring the Portuguese. He early began to establish schools for the diffusion of education throughout the island. From his own purse he paid the salaries of the teachers, and also furnished all the books for the schools. The desire to learn was very strong. These schools became very popular and commenced a .course of unparalleled prosperity. Within a short period, no less than eight hundred adults were taught in these schools, besides children. The people were delighted and amazed at the benevolence of Dr. Kalley, who sustained all expense without any compensation. Even the municipal authorities of the city of Funchal, the principal city on the island, were constrained to pass a vote of thanks to Dr. Kalley for his disinterested acts of benevolence. Dr. Kalley found the Portuguese in the most deplorable and almost incredible ignorance ofthe Word of God. Some time between the years 1750 and 176K the Bible was translated into the Portuguese language by Antonio Pereira dc Fegueiredo, a Romish Priest. This had been sanctioned by the a few government schools that were formed on the Island. Early in his efforts Dr. Kalley began to citculate the Portuguese Bible. The people lead with deepest interest a book so rare, so entirely new to them. Copies soon spread to the most distant part uf the Island. Capt. Tate, ofthe British Navy, who was an eye-WltneSt of the things that occurted in Madeira, thus narrates the influence of the circulation nl the scriptures among the people. "A desire to investigate the life-giving truths ol the Bible spread widely among the people. They began to hunger and thirst Their souls were after knowledge. touched by the Spirit of Christ. The seed took root and grew -was watered from on high and soon became fruitful To one sinner after another the Word came home with demonstration anil with power. In the course of reading the Scriptures they met with many things inconsistent with the religious teachings they had received from then fathers. Some applied to their priests for a solution of then difficulties, and becoming gradually accustomed to the excr cisc of their mental powers were often dissatisfied with the answers given to their inquiries. The piiests were an noyed when the)- found themselves iui passed, as they frequently were in the knowledge of (lod by then own parish ioners, and ere long began to oppose both the schools and the Scriptures. One intelligent peasant having Been that popery was inconsistent with revelation, became a protestant, anil was soon after excommunicated. The priests became alarmed at the growing intelligence of the people. I'hey saw that this practice of Bible reading if continued, would produced ■ vast change in the feelings and views ofthe Portuguese. Resolving to check this, the bishops and piiests declared that "the Bible was a book from hell," and the sentence of ex-communication was thundered against all who read it. Dr, Kalley saw that the storm of pet sectitinn was using. He had been war ried by the friends in Scotland to flee from it. But he was prepared to say with Nehemiah, "Should such a man as I llee ?" He wrote a letter to Scotland that was published in the Glasgow, Scottish, Guardian, June li, I*4 3. The following extracts give a lucid view ofthe state ol things in Madeira at that time. "Al present I am threatened with imprison ment, and if the enemy be allowed to fulfil what is on his heart and on his tongue, I am likely to be in jail when you receive this. God may, however, interpose at any hour, and if it be for his glory and the eternal welfare of the people that I shall not go, he will open his name, I should only have cause to rejoice in this." You reminded me of the order given when persecuted in one city to flee into another, but you will also remember that it is said of the hireling that he llecth because he is an hireling and the Wolf comes and catches the sheep. Wire I to flee, I believe the poor sheep of Christ's fold would feel deeply discouraged and the wolf would catch them. The Lord can deliver out of the paw of the lion and of the bear. He would deliver them though I were away, but it is necessary for us to examine well, and seek to know the will of God, for it is not for us to run whenever the lion grows. Let those who have no hope or confidence in the Eternal fear man that shall die, but let not us fear eat th or hell. " The judge is brother-in-law to the governor, and both bitterly oppose me. Two men are excommunicated and many more threatened." Yet amidst all this Dr. Kalley con tinned to hold two meetings daily, at which there were present from thirty to More applied for one hundred persons. admission to communion with the Scottish Presbyterian Church, formerly established by the Scotch and English resident! ofthe island. The schools were closed by order of the administrator. The houses of the scholars, chiefly Bible readers, were broken open; thirty men and women were taken prisoners. Some lay pining in the jail of Funchal upwards of twenty long months, supported by English " generosity. Mis. Alves was one of the eminent Christians of this persecuted Mock. Dr. Kalley says: "She was an intelligent, clear minded woman, quite willing to die if it was the Lord's will." Her godly life and her fervent prayers attracted the attention ofthe enemies ol the Bible. They resolved to make an example of her, in order to inspire others with tenor. She was taken from her family of seven children, the youngest infant, and committed to prison on .in the :ilst of January, 1843. This was for years the home of this Christian lady, who breathed only the spirit of prayer for the salvation of her persecutors, The time of her trial before the court was postponed, it would seem, to protract her sufferings, and compel her to recant and return to the Romish church. But her faith and courage were not shaken by such means. The priests and officers of government, seeing the firmness of her faith, and having little or no hope of a change in her sentiments, were strongly and deeplyexcited. They resolved that they should suffer the highest penalty of the law. The �Vol. 51, No. ll.] day of the trial finally arrived on the 2d of May, ISM. There were three charges against her blasphemy. apostasy, heresy and She was tried only on the charge of blasphemy. The question was put to her by the judge; -"Do you believe the consecrated host is the real body and real blood of Jesus Christ?'' Mrs. Alves knew that her life would depend on the answer she gave. Knowing this, what shall we say ofthe courage and faith of a Christian lady who could reply to the court with distinct utterance, " I do not believe it." Immediately after her frank avowal, the judge condemned her to suffer d -.it 11as provided in the law, the costs of the pro cess to be paid out of her goods. The British subjects then on the I si and resolved to make an effort to save the life of this excellent woman, so unjustly doomed to die. They drew up a petition to the Queen of Portugal, praying that the sentence might be reversed. At the same time an appeal was taken from the decision of the court in Madeu a to the higher court at Lisbon. Her Heavenly Father, in whom she so fully trusted, and who has promised that He will never forsake those who trust in him, so ordained that her sentence was changed from death to imprisonment. In all, this Christian ladywas shut up in that dismal prison al most three years. She was finally re stored to her family, after this long and painful separation, and with her husband, children and sister, fieri from Madeira to Trinidad, and from there to Illinois. .Some of her children are among the Portuguese exiles now in Illinois, This is only one of the many m stances, of the sufferings to which these poor people were subjected for Christ's sake. The state of the Portuguese Bible readers was very perilous. They were persecuted on each side. Their neighbors who still adhered to the Roman chinch, the priest, and the police were constantly on the alert to arrest them. They were forbidden to read the Scriptures or to pray together in their own dwellings. Every copy of the word of God on which the priests could lay hands was immediately committed to the flames. But thanks be to (iod the Bibles were not all destroyed. Some enclosed their Bibles in small boxes and buried them in the earth, others opened a place in the stone walls ofthe house and plastered over them. And others wrapped them in cloth and hung them in trees of very thick foliage. In such ways as ingenuity and piety could suggest, at least fifty Bibles and three hundred New Testaments were preserved from the destroyer. The priests succeeded in getting a Bible from a little girl and burned it. With tears streaming down her face, she told them that they had destroyed her Bible, but they could not destroy the 21 chap 85 THF. FRIEND. tets she had committed to memory and treasured in her heart. The great oh ject of these persecutions was not reached while Dr. Kalley remained in Madeira. Large companies of men were marching through the city threat cning the destruction of the protestants both foreign and native. Dr. Kalley addressed a letter to the police magistrate, informing him of the facts. The hearer of the letter was seized in theStreets and severely beaten, and the letter taken from him. Dr. Kallev then appealed to the governor, who replied that the disturbance was the fruit of the tree he had planted in the island, which could produce nothing but discoid and trouble. On the 9th of August, IHIG, things were brought to a crisis. A great mob of angry men gathered in front of Dr. Kalley's bouse, and entering it, brought out his books and made a bonfire of them. The Dr. had previously escaped in female attire, and boarded a British vessel which lay anchored in the harbor. The following day placards were put on the governor's palace, demanding all protestants to leave the island during that week. On the 23d of August, 1X46, the "William" loosed her sails slowly, and beautifully glided out of the bay of Funchal, carrying 20(1 Christians from the land of their fathers to seek a refuge in a land of strangers. Most of this large party had left their homes at night and could not without risking their lives, return to their ruined cottages to col lect any little property that might be left. Many of them came on board with nothing but the clothes they had on, and these in tatters from their wanderings in the mountains. They arrived at He West Indies where many died, owing to the climate. Finally, most of those who survived, having heard of America the land of freedom, resolved to again trust to God's guidance, and try a country of which they knew nothing. Illinois was chosen as a good location for them, and two colonies were there formed, one in Jacksonville, and one in Springfield. By their industrious thrifty ways, tbey soon procured their own homes. Dr. K. afterwards visited them, bringing another company of believers with him. He organised a church in Jacksonville, and one in Sptihglield. At last the}- found a place of peace and rest, where they with many others who have since come among them, live in contentment, and where they and their children enjoy all the blessings of a free country. Thus has the promise of God been verified, "There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my sake, and the gospel's, but he shall receive an hundred fold now, * * and In the world to come eternal life."

It is undoubtedly difficult to draw an exact line and say what teachings are essential to a true and efficient teaching of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and what are not so. But one main teaching seems to us beyond all doubt central and essential. That is, that men must believe on the Lord Jesus, and receive him as Lord and Savior. He is the Bread of Life to nourish and vivify their spiritual being. He is the Lamb of God slain for their sins. He is God's revelation of himself to them, for their soul's healing and life. God, the Father, comes down close to sinning and dying men in his Son Jesus, so that they may know and turn to the Father, and take life and soul strength. It is, therefore, necessary, above all else, to hold up Christ before men, and cause them to understand his excellence and beauty, and receive him as their Lord and Redeemer. We are not saying that no one can so turn to the Father as to find life without knowing Christ. But the revelation of God in Christ so incalculably surpasses all that imperfect knowledge of God which Jew or Islamite or Parsee are likely to attain, that He becomes emphatically The Way of Salvation. If this is so, then the guiding aim of every Christian missionary should, by his own life and by all his teachings, so to lift up the character and work of His Lord before men, as to fix their attention upon Him as the One to believe on and follow. When men become loving and loyal to Christ, they are redeemed men, and they heal and uplift all the community in which they dwell. Christ in men thus becomes the Life and Light of all Society. He brings Peace for War; Compassion and Mutual Help instead of Oppression; Social Purity, Temperance, Justice and Mercy in place of Social Disorders. Only as Christ enters into the hearts of men, and becomes their life, will the disorders of society be healed. Makiki Pumping Station. We are glad to record that the Water works department have made something of a beginning towards the supply of the city with water from its natural and copious source in the artesian water stratum underneath. Many years ago a well was bored just above the Makiki reservoir. The top of the flow was 125 feet below the surface of the ground, and a five foot brick shaft was built down to the surface of the flow, and a so-called "pulsometer" pump put in, which proved a failure. After lying idle several years, an excellent steam force pump has been fitted to the 87 THE FRIEND. well and is lifting 800,000 gallons a day into the reservoir. This is sufficient to supply the present wants of that end of the city. It is now in order for the authorities to proceed as rapidly as possible to put a large well down near lower Pauoa bridge and force a full torrent of water into the great Nuuanu main with pies sure equal to that of the lower reservoir. Another well and pump should at once be started below Kamehameha school, to supply Palamaand Kalihi.How can the Government honestly continue to exact the immense revenue which they do from consumers, and longer delay to use the obvious means for an abundant supply of the water we pay for, and do not receive? Toads! A consignment of eightytwo of these homely but useful reptiles, young and old, was received from Prof. Koebele by Mr. Marsden, Oct. 7. They were all in good health and activity, and have been mostly turned loose in the shady groves and gardens on the Ma kiki slope below Tantalus. There it is hoped that shade and moistnre with abundant plant and insect life, will make existence cheerful tor the interesting Strangers, and cause them to multiply to the end of aiding to destroy our insect pests. Stranding of the Miowera. A leading event of the month was this disaster to the noble steamship Miowera of the new line of monthly boats between Australia and British Columbia. At 8:20 p. M. Oct. 2d., the ship unfortunately approached too near the shore before the pilot had boarded her, and grounded on the reef within the entrance of the harbor on its western side. The breeze and slight swell at once urged the stern upward until the great ship lay at full length upon the coral in fif teen feet of water. Active efforts were at once begun to lighten her, and to pull her off by the aid of steamers in port. all proved vain; the ship was pushed higher on the reef each day, and after five days of strenuous effort became somewhat permanently lodged in about eleven feet of water. She had leceived no radical injury. If no storm arises to destroy her, means will doubtless be found to float her. Her passengers and mails were forwarded on the 11th per Australia. The sight of this noble ship in front of the harbor, helpless and in great jeopardy; has been a distressing one. The topic has greatly occupied the public mind. The diversion from the hitherto absorbing political issue has no doubt been a wholesome one. Men of clashing opinions could cordially agree in their sympathies about the Miowera, and heartily unite in active efforts for her relief. Carriages go Through From Hilo to the Volcano House. There are still over five miles remaining of the Volcano road to be built. The ground is. however, of such a nature that the stuge proprietor Mr. T. R. Wilson has been able to open a temporary track upon which wheeled vehicles can he taken through. It was certainly a great event when a party of sixteen some two weeks ago went through upon wheels from Hilo to the Volcano House. It is announced that stages will hereafter run thrice a week each way the whole distance to the Volcano. We congratulate the Hilo people and everybody An unsuccessful attempt was made last week by Capt. Arthur McDowell to float the Miowera, by the use of socalled Samson posts placed at the sides of the ship to lift her clear ofthe ground so that she could he pulled forward. The tackles used were inadequate in strength and gave way. Further efforts are in progress by experienced wreckers from San Francisco, with what prospects of success we have no means of judging. Just now the outlook for the Miowera's future does not seem encouraging. Itis a great thing to love Christ so death as to be "ready to be bound and to die" for him, but it is often a thing not less great to he ready to take up our daily cross and to live for him.- John Caird.

My earnest desire is that he will always do that which si right and just, then he will never be brought to shame. The Star arrived hereon the 16th of this month, her stay was very brief.

We cannot account for this uncalled for antipathy toward the M.

The governor has made quite an impression amongst the people, they speak of him as being a good man. He appears to be rather indifferent to any par ticular sects of religion. He has given permission to start schools in full swing right here where I am living; one of which is a government school, having a native teacher, and he receives for his services the sum of $. per month; and his wife too receives the same amount. This is not a bad income for a native. The other school is our own private one; (of which I am principal) where we hold our social meetings, prayer meetings, and singing classes, so far we are getting along very canny.

Before the beginning of the present year plans were partially matured for the early issuance of a Special Jubilee Supplement to The Friend, and particular contributions chiefly of a reminiscent character were solicited from certain individuals, and in some cases promised by them. Only one of these was actually written, and appeared in our September issue, on "Fifty Years of Hawaiian Commercial Development," by Thomas G. Thrum, a most instructive and valuable paper. The year proved to be one of intensely exciting political issues and events, absorbing all interests in their tram, and profoundly engrossing all minds. To enter upon reminiscences of the half century past was difficult, while the pressing issues of the present imperatively claimed attention and strenuous effort. To compare small to larger things, it would have been not more easy than for the N. Y. Independent in the year of Fort Anderson and Bull Run to have columns to reminiscences of the war of 1812. We have all been too keenly occupied in making actual history to care either for writing or reading the history of the past. Before completing the Fifty-first volume of The Friend, there will be appended to this number, two beautiful portraits provided by Mr. Frank W. Damon for the intended Jubilee Supplement, those of the founder and for forty years the editor of this paper, the excellent and beloved Rev. Samuel C. Damon D.D., and of his noble wife and coadjutor in work. These dear and venerated friends are still fresh in the memories of the people of Honolulu, and their speaking likenesses will be most welcome to the many who knew them with love and honor. The Friend may be called a monument to Dr. Damon's whole hearted zeal for his Lord and Master's work in the Pacific, as well as of his lively and unflagging enterprise, and of the practical wisdom and energy which made the paper a success. It was the forty years' impetus given by Father Damon's successful conduct of The Friend, which more than any other influence has inspired its continuance for the ten years since he' retired from its control. It is the oldest paper now published on Pacific Shores. We have reason to know that it continues to be precious to many Christian hearts. The Rev. Samuel C. Damon arrived in Honolulu as Seamen's Chaplain in 1842, and in the following January issued the first number of this paper under the title ol "Temperance Advacate." The title worked gradually around in two years into The Friend. The forty volumes issued by the eminent man who founded it, are a treasure house of Hawaiian and Polynesian history, besides recording the Christian work and prospects of each year. In this labor of her honored husband, as well as in all his labors, Mrs. Julia Mills Damon was a wise and active coadjutor. Her presence was one always felt as a strong power for good in this community to which she gave her life. It was a wise and gracious presence. Although she did not write for The Friend, she largely inspired it, and it owes a great portion of its character to her influence. We send forth these two attractive pictures to our readers as a little Jubilee memento which we believe they prize and preserve. 91 Number 12. NATIVE PASTORS AND CHURCHES. IMPENDING DISASTER TO The restoration of the queen threatened by Secretary Gresham would involve a variety of disastrous consequences. One of the most serious and most disgraceful would be its crushing effect upon nearly all of our best native pastors and upon the best class of Hawaiian Christians. Our native pastors of Protestant Churches are among the most intelligent and high minded class of natives. For a long period, they have been manfully contending against the overwhelming torrent of rrloral debanchery and heathen superstition proceeding from the royal court. Their hearts have been grieved and sore at the corrupting domination of the monarchy. When that deadly power, so imperious in its tyranny over the popular mind and will, was overthrown, the greater part of these good men rejoiced, and welcomed the establishment of honest government and pure influences. To some of them, race feeling and national prejudices made the change uowelcome, but the majority of the pastors are deeply in sympathy with the new government. The majority of their people are not so, because they are far less intelligent, and have been taught to regard this movement as a trampling on the inherent right of the native Hawaiian to be supreme in the government of his own country, however ignorant and incapable he may be of meeting the necessities of the grand civilization and immense production and commerce which have grown up in Hawaii, and in which the native has no part. Add to this influence the fact that a very large proportion of the Hawaiian people, through court influence for a whole generation, have reverted to superstition, and are slaves to their sorcerers and to the ltnvest forms of vice, and it is evident why their sympathies are so largely with a royalty of their own sort. During the eleven months of the new government the ex-queen's secret information from Washington of her intended restoration, has enabled her to maintain a powerful system of terrorism over her �92 former subjects, who have been conthreatened with speedily coming stantly punishment if disloyal to her cause. To illustrate the effect of this state of things upon the pastors, take the case of Rev. J. Waiamau, the pastor of the large Kaumakapili Church in Honolulu. Mr. Waiamau, as chaplain to the last Legislative Assembly, was brought into daily knowledge of the gross and unblushing corruption of the queen's party, and of the extreme baseness ofher political aims and methods. Besides this, through the impressive influence of the late lamented Rev. James Bicknell, Mr. Waiamau had become earnestly enlisted in the efforts of the latter to unite the native christians in the reformation of idolatrous practices and witchcraft. In consequence, the Kaumakapili pastor was in strong sympathy with the overthrow of the monarchy which had so long been his people. As the consequence, ,h.e has become an object of bitter hostility from a majority of his congregation. On the 26th nit., he was howled out of his pulpit by the royalist majority, who were emboldened by the news of the 34th that President Cleveland had ordered the restoration of the queen. Should that be accomplished, utter temporal ruin would not fail to be visited upon this pastor and all those of his people who had manifested sympathy with his views. The same would be the fate of Kauhane and losepa, the two native pastors in the last legislature, who there became thoroughly convinced of-the hopeless perversity of the queen,, and were converted to Annexation as tho best hope for stable and honest government, and for remedial influences, to check the present rapid decay of. their people. Several other leading pastors are in the same predicament, as well as large numbers of the best christian natives. It may be that a time of grievous trial is at hand forbur Hawaiian churches. But we believe that the gracious God, who has so often delivered Hawaii in extremity, will again interpose. It is not to be believed that the* American people will not effectually forbid the reinstatement of a heatheni/ing monarchy over the struggling Christianity of native Hawaiian*, as well as over this noble foreign civilization. The New United States Minister. On the Australia arrived the Hon. Albert S. Willis of Kentucky, the Envoy and Minister of the United States to this Government. On the 7th, Minister Willis presented his Letters of Credence, THK FRIKNI). with many expressions of friendship and regard both .to this government and to the people of this country. The actual meaning and force of those expressions will be interpreted by his acts. OUR HEAVENLY BODIES. in Central Union Church, November, f Prom a discourse 19th, 1893, by the Rpv. K. (. BatK WITH, D.D.I I. John 111. '2. "We shall lit like him, for we shall see Him as lit is. " * * * If it seems to any of you that such a transfiguration will obscure our personal identity, making us so unlike our present selves, that we shall not know each other in that new and radiant ensphering, remember, first, that it does not make things obscure to leline them. The more you polish a bit of rosewood, the more it brings out the beautiful tracery of its graining. It is a rude comparison, to be sure, but I mean to say that identity is not a mere external quality or an accident. It is something inherent. You cannot refine it out. Just as this hand would be none the less seen to be mine if I had washed it very white, so it would be none the less seen to be mine if it should be made radiant with celestial light. And remember, second, that the refining which will make the body spiritual will make the discernment spiritual. "We shall see as we are seen." And so, through whatever marvelous changes we are to come into the likeness of our glorified Lord, we shall know each other quickerand better far than we know each other here. We know each other here, not simply by the size, and the color, and the contour, but a great deal more by certain personal qualities of which the face and the figure, and the posture are only a poor expression. I know it is you not so much by the color of the eyes as by the light that is in them, not so much by the limning of the lips as by the smile that is upon them. But in that perfected nature, with these vile bodies made like unto Christ's glorious body, through the facile and transparent form we may believe there will be such quick and clear revealing of the soul that is in us, that we shall all know each other there a thousand fold more unerringly. Oh, we are to be like Him. And because He will know me, in the regeneration, I am sure my mother will know me, and my boy will know me, in the same regeneration. It will not hinder this heavenly recognition that we are all to be made like Him, as if one should say "All so much alike; how shall we know each other apart ?" F"or remember again, that this likeness to Christ will be only in quality and nature of being, not in identity. Your little child that, "in tears and pain," you have given up into the arms of the loving Lord, will be only more and more itself, as it goes on unto perfection under its fashioning into the likeness of Christ. And that will make recognition so easy that I have no doubt not only that every Christian mother will instantly know [December, 1893 her own child among all the ransomed millions of little ones, but that every tenderest babe will know its own sainted mother, under the marvelous revealing of that perfected likeness to Christ. Another thing follows from this assurance that we shall be like Him. I am speaking still of the bodily likeness. Like unto his glorious body we shall be fashioned, remember. Now see how that lifts off the limitations of this body of our flesh. You think of Christ, no doubt—l always do as having the freedom of all his universe, You do not believe there is a single glimmering star so far away in the infinite depths that he cannot visit it whenever he will. You do not think of him as tethered by any of the laws of our material life, gravitation, for example. You do not think of Him as going up from Olivet by virtue of the uplift of an omnipotent arm. He went up as naturally as the light goes up, unhindered by any restraint of these rude forces, by the inherent buoyancy of the body celestial. Swiftei than the light flies a million fold, or a million million fold, it may be, you believe our transfigured Lord can wing his way from heaven to earth and from earth to heaven. Or, if not, why not ? What limitations hinder him ? Is it because it seems to be against the laws we know ? But we do not know all the laws. We are learning new things all the while, and some very wonderful things. Indeed, we seem just now to be standing face to face with forces that may be prophetic of this very fact of a celestial body, not only untethered by any rude forces that we know, but self resistant of these very forces; not only un gravitating but anti gravitating; a body with the unhindered freedom of all the created universe. Modern science just now stands with bated breath, with its hand uplifted among the electric forces, and its eye peering out into the ether depths through which the light conies flashing, wondering if such a fatt as that is not breaking in upon the eager vision. Now if our rude science is beginning to find such things among the forces it can test and tabulate, why may we not easily believe that in that realm of celestial things that is so infinitely beyond the reach of our mathematical analysis, and our chemical analysis, and our spectrum analysis, there are forms and forces more tenuous than the ether of the inter stellar spaces, and more facile and forceful than the light or lightning; forms and forces fitted for the ensphering of our transfigured Lord ? Such a celestial body no doubt enshrines him in his home of light and glory. And we shall be like him, "our vile body fashioned like unto his glorious body," "changed into his image from glory to glory." And that will be heaven; that deliverance from these earthly limitations, that power of searching the height, and the depth, and the breadth, and the length, of the wonderful work of God. �Vol. 51, No. 12.] Mrs. Ann Maria Dimond. |ln Memoriatn]. This aged and beloved survivor of the old Missionary group of Honolulu, passed from earth to the heavenly home, November 20th. She was born at the old Howling Green In New York City, early in I*oB. Her mother was of Scotch parentage, her father French, and the sole survivor of a planter's family massacred in St. Domingo. He was then in his eighth year, Was carried to France by a sea captain, but all the relatives there The captain had been guillotined. adopted anil brought him up to his own profession. His name was pronounced Anner, the true spelling unknown. Capt. Anner became a successful ship master in the West Indian trade, and noted for his polished manners. Mrs. Dimond inherited some property from her parents. Although of Episcopal parents, Miss Anner became an active member of the Presbyterian Church, and deeply inter ested in mission work. In her last illness she recalled her tending a negro couple in New York sick with cholera, one night in company with the late Amos Cooke, and washing the woman's feet. Becoming deeply interested in Foreign Missionary work, she was married November 3d, 1834, to Mr. Henry Dimond, an assistant missionary of the American Board. The young couple sailed December sth from Boston in the ship Hallespont in company with Rev. Titus Coan and Mr. E. O. Hall and their wives, forming the sixth reinforcement to the mission in the Sandwich Islands. The DimondS resided many years on the old mission premises now occupied by Mr. Hopper, where much warm and abundant hospitality was dispensetl to their fellow missionaries from the other islands. Mrs. Dimond speedily became known as a woman of both strong and sweet nature, and activity in good works. The seven children began to come fast during the next fourteen years and absorbed the larger part of the mother's time and strength. Mr. Dimond'a duties in the Mission having been chiefly of a secular nature, and being no longer needed, he resigned about 1849 and engaged in mercantile business, removing in a few years to his present residence. The parlor of their house was planned with especial reference to church and prayer meetings. It was there that Fort Street Church was organized, and its constitution signed on the parlor table. Mrs. Dimond was most active in church work under Pastors Taylor and Corwin. One of Dr. Corwin's first questions not long since to a Honolulu friend was, "Has my mainstay, Mrs. Dimond become so infirm ?" She was largely instrumental in building Fort Street Church, in securing the money for the lot, and in the fairs for the building fund. She had great love for the new Central Union Church. It is stated that her 93 THE FRIEND private contributions for the building were larger than those of any other lady. All the plans of the building were carefully studied by her. When completed she was conducted through it and surveyed it with deepest interest, reliectant to leave. She never had strength to attend public worship there. In her last sickness, one of the most frequent words on her lips was, referring to the church : "Thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof." One of Mrs. Dimond's characteristics was an ardent patriotism reaching out towards both her native and her adopted country. She longed to live to see the two countries happily united for the highest well being of the Hawaiian people as well as for the welfare of America. She was intensely interested in the great struggle for political and moral rights in the last legislature. In her last days, finding a young friend ignorant of what she wished to know of public politics, she said, "If I were as young as you, I would know everything hat is going on." When the evil tidings by the Alameda arrived on the 16th, it became almost necessary to deceive her in her weak state, so keen was her desire to be informed of what all were so anxious about. This dear and aged mother lived in faith and prayer, a life near to God and heaven. Her end was full of sweet assurance and bright hope. She expressly desired that her features should not be exposed to view at the funeral, and that no eulogistic remarks should be made in the services, so averse was she to publicity. The obsequies took place on the 21st at the house of her son-in-law, Henry T. W'aterhouse. The pall bearers were Messrs. W. W. Hall, C. M. Cooke, S. E. Bishop, S. B. Dole, W. O. Smith and G. P. Castle, all the sons of old and dear missionary brothers. The surviving children are Mrs. Dr. Stangewald, Mrs. Henry Waterhouse, General W. H. Dimond, and Mr. Edwin H. Dimond. There are also three daughters of a deceased daughter Mrs. Sarah Kinney. The widowed husband the aged Henry Dimond, in great feebleness awaits the Lord's call in resignation and hope. The Miowera Saved. After nearly six weeks on the reef, the noble steamer Miowera was safely re- moved from her perilous position, and now lies safely moored in Honolulu harbor. The injuries received by pounding on the coral prove to be slight. This no doubt was largely owing to the soft and yielding character of the rock upon which she lay, as well as to the continuance of our characteristic Pacific weather. The tearing off of the outer stem post with the rudder, is the only injury necessitating important repairs before proceeding to the Coast for complete repairs to the dented plates of her bottom. The post was torn tiff by the hawsers of the steamers which tried to pull her off. This will be replaced by means of a box caisson fitted to the Miowera's stern, sunk underneath, and pumped out. Inside this the men will work and rivet on anew the separated post. The process of pulling off the Miowera by the experienced wrecker Captain Metcalfe was comparatively simple. He obtained a solid grip on the reef with one enormous anchor for whose fluke a cavity was blasted out. Other anchors were made subsidiary. Powerful cables led from these to solid fastenings on the hull of the ship, and were hauled in by mighty tackles from the ship's steam winches. A couple of morning lides' slow steady pulling, and she was dragged into ocean's deep bosom once more. A grievous blot has been removea from our seaward view. That noble ship lying in distress and mortal peril was a most painful sight. We shall always have a tender feeling towards this ship as she courses back and forth as we trust she long may do across the Pacific. Probably no ship of her size ever lay stranded half as long without destruction, unless it was Noah's ark—and that never floated again. Mashona Land. This district of South Africa lies about 500 miles due east of the precise Antipode of Honolulu. It is a curious coincidence, that exactly under our feet, another severe conflict should be going on between the respective claims for sovereignty of a dark and a white race, although the conditions and the character of the conflict are extremely different. Here the whites have the highest interests of the natives in view as well as the necessities of their own civilization, while the best class of the natives themselves desire with the whites to be free from a debasing heathenish tyranny. In Africa there is simply a contest between savages and white immigrants. The sovereignty of Mashona land is what king Lobengula is contesting with the whites who have occupied that wonderful land of gold in large numbers. Lobengula and his half million of Matsbele people are the next neighbors of Mashona land on the south-west, and have not been disturbed in their homes by the whites. But the Mashona negroes have long been slaves to the warlike Matabeles, who continue their practice of raiding their country. This has created a fierce war with the English and Dutch immigrants, who forbid the Matabeles to molest their Mashona friends. The few thousand whites are reported already to have gained decisive victories by the help of Maxim guns over the tenfold numerous blacks. Of course Lobengula and his people will be subjugated. Undoubtedly the work will be more or less brutally done as in most wars. But it is for the general interest �94 .. of human progress that the noble uplands of Mashona -land should be occupied by a progressive white nee, who shall establish at.least a rude justice and social order in the heart of the Dark Continent. The enormous reefs of gold in that land ensure its rapid occupation. SECRRT EVEALED. THE FRIEND who were prominent actors in the Revo- [December, 1893 We greatly congratulate our esteemed lution.

DAMON CHENRY SAMUEL REV. �Vol. 51, No. 12.] from Minister Willis and Admiral Irwin down to the lowest sailor, will be participant in the atrocious crime. Our Heads of state have been in a position of profoundly heavy responsibility, between their duty of maintain ing their resistance to the overthrow of their Government to the last useful effort, and their duty of avoiding useless slaughter either of the American forces or ot their own citizens arrayed against them. By the resolute action, however, of its supporters, the Government has been carried beyond its doubts and hesitation. The vigorous and united demand of our citizens to fight the U. S. forces to the bitter end has settled the question, and whenever such forces or any other, unauthorized by the Congress of the United States attack this Government, they will be resisted to the utmost. A large proportion of the citizens hold in their veins the blood of Lexington and Gettysburg. They are perfectly armed with rifles and rapid lire guns. They can muster over one thousand men. and behind entrenchments, can give good account of any force possible at present to be brought against them. They will light with patience and courage in the glorious cause of civili sation and constitutional government against the reinstatement of a semiheathen monarch and vicious ti am pier on constitutions. A true man can find no better end to his life than to fall fighting in such a cause. To the best of our judgment, Minister Willis will not precipitate this conflict. If he waits until December 21, Congress will have assembled, and will undoubt edly have taken the whole business out of the President's hands. There can be little fear that Congress will ever authorise the carrying out of this infamous intention of replacing a base and reck less heathen tyrant over the glorious civilization of this large American Colony. Until we know to the contrary, we shall believe that Minister Willis has vigorously remonstrated against it. When Congress has assembled, we expect to learn that the dark cloud of war and slaughter which now hangs over our fair city, has been dispelled to be succeeded by bright days of peace and prosperity.

I This page is devoted to the jllUiaaTl of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Hoard is responsible for its eoMattta, Rev. C. M. Hyde, - Editor. Pushing the Work. It will not answer in these times of unrest to let the Lord's work suffer from any want of interest or enthusiasm. While the future political condition and relations of the country are so involved in uncertainty, it is natural that the Hawaiian people should he anxious and ill at ease. Hut the Evangelistic mission, inaugurated on Kauai, has developed a unity and hopefulness, which augurs well for the future of the Hawaiian Churches. In Honolulu, the disaffection of many of the Kaumakapili people to their pastor, Rev. J. Waiamau, has led some of the membership to talk about forming a new church; but the disaffected element gives no evidence of ability or stability if such an attempt should actually be made. The Chinese work was never more interesting nor promising than now. The large number ofyoung people growing up under christian influences is a sight to gladden any one who will visit the Chinese Church. To hear a choir of cultivated and skillful Chinese singers, led by a young Chinese organist, is an evidence of progress, such as our faith could not have anticipated a few years ago. An effort is being made to secure funds to build a parsonage for the Portuguese pastor, Key. A. Y. Soares. The present shell of a house will then be repaired, and refitted as a home for the teachers of the mission school. The near approach of the Christmas season calls for extra work in preparation for its usual festivities. Some changes have been made in the location of the workers in the Japanese mission. Rev. Jiro Okabe comes to Honolulu to take charge of the work in the city, and he will have Rev. K. Yeguchi as his assistant. Another of the new arrivals, Rev. S. Kana has gone to Kohala to begin evangelistic work there. He has the advantage ot having had some years' experience in such work in Japan, in connection with Rev. Sidney Gulick. Rev. Mr. Oku takes charge of the work in Hilo. The young preachers on Kauai and Maui are doing earnest, faithful work. It is hoped soon to station three others, expected shortly to arrive, at as many important points. The sugar planters are interested in this evangelistic and will co-operate with the Board in the attempt to diminish the ravages of intoxicating drinks and gambling, among the 25,000 Japanese, now on the islands. 97 only patient effort can remedy.

The Urgent Need. . — �98 FRIEND. THE New Masonic Temple. The Hawaiian Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, on the evening of the 27th, dedicated their new Temple. It is an elegant edifice, the lower part devoted to stores and offices, the upper to Masonic uses. It stands on the east corner of Hotel and Alakea streets, across from the Reading Room. The Lodge\was organized in 1852 with eleven members, and now has 130. Another lodge has 43. Many leading citizens have been members. Liberal aid has been supplied to a large number of needy members, both officially and in private. The following facts came out at a late meeting of the Buffalo Presbytery: A young man was the guest of clergymen. He was a stranger to all but one or two. He was a slim pale-faced young man, with black hair, and sinewy hands. "All my life" he told them, "has been spent among the Kiowas in fishing, hunting and war. Until eight years ago I could not read, and had never seen the Bible; but I have been studying the Greek Testament and other required works, and I am confident that I can pass the customary examinations." He did pass. It seems that this young man was the son of a white scout. His uncle had long been in search of him. The boy had beenstolen by the Indians when two years old. The Kiowas came a short time ago to Fort Sill. There the uncle visited their camp, and identified the nephew by a peculiar vaccination spot. The young man immediately left the tribe; wandering into some of the fron- tier places of dissipation, he fell in with the Salvatiotr'Army, and heard, for the first time, the story of Jesus. After a long.struggle he was converted, and gave his lite to the Saviour. He has been invited already to take charge of the Presbyterian church at Akron, in western New York. We had condensed this striking narrative from a reliable correspondent of the New York Evangelist. It has more than one lesson; but its great lesson is the old one—l am not ashamed of the gospel that saves. And let it not long be true that an American or an Indian boy can grow up anywhere in our land where he cannot learn to read, and cannot know the Saviour. Let all citizens strengthen the government in its educational plans, and not forget to sustain by voluntary contributions also the directly Christian schools and missions.

[From the N. Y. Independent. I January, loy4. For presumably good reasons this large and reputable body of white natives and old residents of Hawaii are practically unanimous for the overthrow of the monarchy and for annexation to the United States. In accord with them are the great majority of the right-living and intelligent class of native Hawaiians. Mr. Davies, very creditably to himself, savs of them: "I hope no one will think that I underrate the problems of corruption and perplexity with which the leaders at Honolulu had and have to deal. I am aware that they have on the side of annexation a large portion of the intelligence, energy and integrity of foreigners, and that in,ins of the men whose action I feel bound to criticise so severely have been impelled as they thought by high principles and self-sacrificing motives." Now as to the charge of tendering a "stolen kingdom," the only right that Liliuokalani or Kaiulani can claim in the matter is that the welfare of the kingdom calls for their rule. It cannot be stolen from them. They may have some claim for support, as being put out of place. No one will refuse them such support whenever they are ready to make terms for it. The only rational form of the charge is that the sovereignty of Hawaii is tendered to the United States without the consent of the aboriginal population of Hawaii to whom that sovereignty belongs. This assumes that such sovereignty inheres in them inalienably and interminably, so long as any of them remain in Hawaii to exercise it, no matter how greatly the rest of the popu lation may exceed in numbers, wealth, capacity, intelligence and actual control of affairs. This is a novel doctrine, and needs only to be stated to be its own confutation. The actual fact is that through their own ill-regulated living, fostered by the vices of the Royal Court, the Hawaiian people have decreased, while foreign races have increased, until the former constitute barely one-third of the population of the country. At the same time they are notoriously incapable of managing public affairs, as they are generally incapable of conducting any business of importance. They are unable to rule. All the ruling has actually been guided by foreigners for the past fifty years. If the fallen Queen and her nativeadherents had been willing to follow such guidance in a reasonable manner, the farce of native monarchy might have been kept up a short time longer. In the nat,ure of the case it could have endured but a very little while, from the fact that the country had entered upon a new stage when three diverse and discordant foreign races in large numbers—people of vastly greater force than the Hawaiians, but unqualified for political action— were occupying the country, and must be effectively governed. For this work the native monarchy was out of the question. The Portuguese, the Chinese, the Japanese, could not so be provided for. The rule must necessarily be �assumed by the capable and dominating English-speaking race, who held in their hands nine tenths of the commerce and the productive enterprise of the country. There was no alternative. The situation was critical. The natural and qualified rulers of the land were compelled to seize entire hold of the reins of power, which they had virtually controlled for fifty years. To talk of this being the "stealing of a kingdom," is childish, if not malicions. The rule by native monarchy had lapsed from decay and incapacity. To attempt to perpetuate it is no friendship or kindness to the natives. The children of the missionaries are their firm, true and considerate friends, and will, as they have always done, seek the best and highest interests of the native people. In the present perplexities and difficulties in settling the future government of the Islands, they will use what ever influence they possess tosecure to the Hawaiian people all the political privileges that they are capable of use fully exercising. If annexed as a Territory of the United States, it was believed that an honorable share might be given to them under Territorial control. If, however, the Islands are to maintain their own government under some form of American protection, it is very uncertain how far the exigencies demanding strong government will leave the way open for anything like popular suffrage. Annexation was sought in hope of thereby maintaining broader Republican forms and more enlarged suffrage, exactly the opposite of seeking to diminish the political franchises of the people. Unless enjoying the grand prestige of American constitutional control, the task of adjusting a working form of government for these different races will be a delicate and difficult one. It is fortunate for the nation that it contains such a powerful nucleus of intelligence, capacity and integrity in its English-speaking body of citizens, and especially in its missionary element. It is maintained by the Royalists that President Cleveland's new Minister, Albert S. Willis, is about to arrive in Honolulu for the purpose of enforcing upon the Provisional Government Mr. Cleveland's intention that they shall make way for the restoration of the fallen Queen. Various things are tending to create also in the minds of others an apprehension that Mr. Willis may be commissioned, not to enforce but to strongly urge such a policy upon the Government. Mr. Theo. H. Davies, who specially represents Canadian interests as well as Kaiulani, is expected to come with Mr. Cleveland'srepresentative and labor in the same direction. It is seemingly incredible that a President of the United States should thus lend himself to promote British commercial and political interests against those of his own country ; or that he should strive to reestablish a throne that has fallen THE FRIEND. 3 Vol. 52, No. I.] have been connected with the mission.

We are glad to chronicle this fact. It is well for this mother church to set such an example. The Hawaiians are a generous people and in support of their own people ought not to lag behind in the generous rivalry with other nationalities in the support of their own religious and charitable institution. The musical society connected with the Kawaiahao Church, of which Mrs. HaaISlea is President, have also raised, if we have been correctly informed, three hundred dollars towards the five hundred needed to furnish electric lighting for the church. The concert given Thursday evening by the Misses Albu added quite a sum to the remaining amount needed. A Week of Deadly Fear. For the use of our many subscribers abroad, we endeavor to state dispassionately the events of our time of trouble. As given in December Friend, Minister Willis was awaiting instructions from Washington in reply to his dispatches of November 16th. We were sustained by a strong assurance that Congress meeting December lth, would actively intervene in our behalf, and avert the imminent peril of attempting to restore the queen by the U. S. naval forces, which our people were prepared to resist to the last extremity. On December 14th the Corwin unexpectedly arrived with instructions to Minister Willis. The warships Philadelphia and Adams were immediately prepared for landing forces. Mr. Willis at once began active negotiations with LiliiKik.il,mi. The British and |apanese warships asked and received permission to land the r marines to protect their legations during the expected conflict. The public fears culminated on Monday the 18th, when everything indicated an immediate crisis. Several leading men called on Mr. Willis, asking for some word to allay the public tension of fear, but in vain. The one word needed, that he would not use force, he did not utter. The then secret history, now revealed, is this. The Minister had reported to Washington that Liliuokalani persisted in refusing to grant amnesty and other advantages to the Provisional Government and their supporters. The President hurried off the Corwin before Congress could intervene, instructing the Minister to persist in the demand and settle affairs at once, but not to employ force. Whether he had previously been authorized to use force is not clear. Our government still believe that he was thus authorized, although Ministei Thurston (eels sure that he was not. Mr. Willis at once told Liliunkalani that she must make the required concessions in the direction of humanity, or the President would cease his efforts in her behalf. She persisted in refusal, and the Corwin prepared to sail on the night of the lKth, to report her refusal. The ex-queen then yielded. President Dole had that day demanded of the American Minister the meaning of his negotiating with her, while accredited to this Government. He replied by securing a formal interview on the 19th, at which he demanded that the Provisional Government should retire from power and restore the Queen. To this demand President Dole prepared an extended reply, declining to consider Mr. Willis' proposition. This was delivered on the night of the '23d, and the Corwin sailed with it in the early [January, 1894. when the Alameda came bringing Minis- ter Thurston and the welcome news of powerful demonstrations in Congress in our favor, making it certain that the American Minister must postpone the use of force. It is due here to say that it was well understood that their threatened task was well known to be utterly distasteful to our friends of the U. S. Navy, and that none were mote truly relieved than they by the Alameda's news. Honolulu had after all a Merry Christmas following its week of deadly fears. On the 2'Jth, the Arawa brought the President's message revealing the astonishing fact of the ex -queen's refusal to grant amnesty, as being the only cause of delay in Willis' demand. On the 30th the Australia brought the President's statement about his instructions to Minister Willis, proving that during our week of fear, he actually had no power to enforce his demands, and was using merciless but hollow menace to terrify- the Government into compliance. Our consolation is that he thereby gave us the opportunity to prove our manhood by refusing. We leave this very strange history without present comment or characterization. We hope that all our readers will give careful study to the reply of President Dole, which tells the full and clear truth. Of Minister Willis, it may be supposed that he was executing his duty according to his instructions, in circumstances of great perplexity. The whole Hawaiian affair is now in the hands of Congress, and a favorable result is certain. Micronesian Mission. nil. GILBERT islands. A brief letter from Mr. Walkup, who was at Butaritari with the Hiram liuigham on the fourteenth of August, re ports that he has made his trip to Ocean and Pleasant Islands and also to Kusaie and back. While he was gone to these western islands a British man-of-war passed through the Gilbert group, having on board the governor-general of Fiji. Mr. Walkup speaks warmly of the impression left by that visit, believing that the coming of the governor has helped in setting up a standard for righteousness. We judge that the German Commissioner has granted the Bingham permission to call at Ocean and Pleasant Islands without clearing from Jaluij, according to previous requirements, but he still desired that the teachers should be removed from those islands, since they taught the Bible in the native tongue. When Mr. Walkup visited those islands there was no German official upon them, and the natives as well as the traders protested against an attempt to take away their teachers. morning.

Of the thirtyseven church members who are in good standing at the beginning of the year, all have held fast except three.

The Sabbath school has increased in numbers and the attendance is much more regular. Ninety six names ate enrolled, with an average attendance of inoie than eighty. We had fifteen weeks of school, with an average attendance above fifty; eleven of these students were in the training class, two are preparing for service as preachers or teachers, and they will be ready at the end of the year to go to sonic other isl and if not needed at home. The health of all on the island has been fairly good." Of Ponape Mr. Rand writes ; "The Starlet go anchor in Port San tiago before noon, Sabbath the seven teenth of July. The new governor, who came in May, was called back to Manila by the June steamer, and he expects to return in August.

Governor Flanders was very kind, but said he could permit me to have intercourse with the natives only in their harbor. A great many natives came aboard the Star. From Henry Nanpei and others we hear that King Pol and the other Christians of the Metalenim tribe are holding on to their Christian faith.

Christmas Gifts, and Christmas Merry Making. At this season of the year, kindly in terest in others has its appropriate mani- festation in special gifts of friendship or Notwithstanding all the sympathy. disquiet of the time politically, and the dubious financial outlook, it has been pleasant to notice the carriages speeding, in one direction and another, bearing the parcels that testify of the good will of the donors blossoming out into kindly deeds. Hut how many of such manifestations of Charity, sweet and beautiful, never come to any public knowledge. Nature is lavish in these tropical climes, if not prodigal, in her gifts, and the liberality of the people is in keeping with their surroundings. First in time, as well as in magnitude, of the various Christmas entertainments was that of the Sunday School of the Central Union Church. So many hundreds of children with their parents or friends gathered on the Friday evening before Christmas, that it seems as if the new church was ahead}- showing that it cannot accommodate all who would make it their Church home. The exercises were briefer than formerly. Sunday morning was given up to more elaborate services, recitations and singing, and a very interesting Sunday School Concert exercise. Sunday evening there was a Praise Service, with some fine singing from members of the choir and others. Dr. Beckwith's sermon, on the honor conferred on Childhood by the incarnation of the Lord Jesus, was a very striking presentation of exreedingly appropriate truths. Whoever may succeed Dr. Beckwith in the pulpit of the Central Union Church will find it no easy matter to bring to the people, Sunday after Sunday, such clear, pertinent, inspiring messages as have been given so continuously during the six years of Dr. Beckwith's ministry. Saturday evening a large concourse spectators more than filled the hinese Church to witness the exercises the Chinese Schools. We have be>me accustomed to expect each year >me marked improvement on the enrtainments of previous years. Every one of the many visitors was surprised delighted both at the increase in umbers of the scholars, and the !

The children of the Kindergarten attracted the most attention and the loudest applause. The annex with its fine organ well played by a young Chinaman, was seen to fine advantage this year, as compared with its unfinished condition a twelvemonth ago. If enthusiasm and effort can accomplish what even Christian faith hardly dares hope to see accomplished, we are sure that Mr. Damon will attempt it. The Portuguese Mission had its Christmas entertainment the same even ing. The present accommodations in the Chapel are insufficient for the accommodation of the large congregation that now gathers within its walls. Friends of this Mission have begun noon too soon the effort to add, to the promises now occupied, a parsonage for Mr. Soares' family. Then the building they now occupy may be utilized for the school that now meets in the rear The greatest in room of the Chapel. terest was shown in the performances of the small children of the Kindergarten. There are now so many of these tree Kindergartens for the various nationalities, that a public exhibition of all of them in the Music Hall would surely awaken increased general interest in this work, and bring in additional funds for its successful prosecution. Monday evening, Christmas night, the Japanese Church, of which Rev. Jiro Okabe is tht pastor, gave an entertainment in Cjueen Kmma Hall. The room was altogether too small for the crowd that assembled. Here as at the Portuguese Chapel and the Chinese Church, a Christmas tree with its brightly burning candles, and brilliant ornaments of tinsel stood ready to yield an abundant supply of gifts for the little folks. For the Japanese Kindergarten, youngest of all, showed what proficiency a few months of training under Froebel's system can do the tiniest specimens of infant humanity. There was not, however, anything for the older children, or from them. We may expect by another year something praise-worthy from the young men connected with the Sunday School, or the classes now increasing so rapidly in the night schools held in Queen Emma Hall. to the classes, whether The American Board has recently published a new edition of President Bartlett's Historical sketch of the Sandwich Islands Mission, to which Dr. Hyde has added a supplement, giving an outline history of the progress of Chrsitian work at the Islands for the last thirty years, 1863 1893. The record is a most creditable one, considering the many claims upon the time, sympathy, and purses of our Christian people. The wonder is that so much has been attempt- Ed and achieved. To find fault with the workers here for what they have not done is to ignore the facts of history, as the progress of events at the islands has closed up certain lines of effort and opened up others, has revealed more clearly weaknesses of humanity that are not to be removed in the time of one or two generations, and developed new difficulties and obstacles to be met and overcome by christian patience, faithfulness, and hopefulness. The A. H. C. P. If. Almanac for 1K94 has a "process" picture of VV'ailuku, Maui, and ola street in Apaian, one of the Gilbert Island group. The last is reproduced from a photograph taken by the engineer of the Morning Star on the last voyage of that vessel. Others ol these Micrnnesian photographs will soon be reproduced in other publications of the American Hoard. They are the best ever published, illustrating scenes and incidents in connection with the Micronesian Mission. Latest From Ponape. From Ponape under date of Oct. lf>, we learn that all is peace and quietness under the new governor. He is doing all he can to firing about a peaceful settlement with a Metalenini tribe. They are pursuing the even tenor of their way with no more interference from the Spanards. A new church building was dedicated in September. About 300 people assembled to participate in the exercises. There are two day schools maintained by the people as well as the Sunday School and regular Sabbath services. Put they are in great need of books, slates, and other school appliances. A new church building and a school house are soon to be put up on the island of Mantes. It would seem as if, under the present Governor at least, it would be possible to resume the work of the American Mission. He does not seem to have any special antipathy with what is useful, practicable, beneficial. He may be called a strict prohibitionist, and is ready as soon as the opportune moment comes, to forbid all importation and sale of alWith such encoholic beverages. couraging news as this, God's people ought to be encouraged to persistant prayer and renewed effort for the up building on Ponape of God's kingdom of truth and righteousness and love. While on this theme, that Christmas tide makes so fruitful of suggestions, has any one given any attention to the solution of the problems that will soon be thrust upon us, what to do for the unemployed ? What to do with the poor and thriftless ? We have no pauper laws. Pruperism, as it exists now in Christendom, is unknown here. Private charity has hitherto managed to care for �the unfortunates who have been compelled by stress of circumstance to depend upon others' help. But it is very evident that in the near future some public provision will have to be made for the dependent and defective classes. The sick have the hospitals; the insane have the lunatic asylum; the aged mdi gent Hawaiian has the Lunalilo Home. But what is being done in the way of public provision, or organized effort for those who have been laggards in the race of life, and without positive criminality, by extravagance it may be, or by poor judgment it may be, or by culpable indolence it may be, are at the end of the rope, liable to be snapped off and trodden down by force of circumstances and their own inertia ? The Strangers' Friend Society has done and is doing a noble work, for which it deserves a meed of praise as yet unspoken. Benevolent Unions among the various nationalities are doing something to relieve the wants But of their respective countrymen. above and beyond all these should be some public organized charity association better than direct governmental relief, that shall minister comfort, cheer, and help to the poor that we have always with us, whose poverty is likely to be more pinching than ever, even to the loss of life as well as health, of manhood as well as possessions. The many appeals of late, to one benevolent person and another, to take charge of orphan children, left without suitable guardianship, indicate a line ol charitable effort that will undoubtedly in the Providence of God, find some one prepared to lay the foundations of an Orphan Asylum, and provide for its maintenance. Whenever there is a need, there is a supply provided. The difficult thing to do is to brint; together the two elements in the wonderful synthesis that christian charity is constantly effecting, more wonderful even than the inventions and discoveries of modern science in utilizing the forces of nature, lying all around us, ready for the touch of the modern magician's wand. Another provision for public needs to which Dr. Beckwith alluded in his Christmas sermon, is a play ground for the children. The large yard around Queen Emma Hall has been used by the children, but it is not large enough for the numbers that would gladly come to a pleasant recreation ground. Who will see to it that our children, who here need no "Fresh Air Eund" for their comfort, may soon have a place for their plays and frolics, well equipped with the needful accessories, and under kindly and tactful supervision?

Dr. Pease, in a letter from Kusaie, the last date of which is July i, reports that the German Commissioner at Jaluij is still continuing the repressive hums vies which have hitherto been reported. He says: "Jeremaia writes that the Commissioner has taken the money contributed to the Boaid by the m January, and threatens-to take that which may be contributed in [uly also. (We can take but two collections in a year) The reason assigned is that I did not consult with his predecessor in regard to locating teachers in the new islands, Aur, Mtjij, and Kwojelin. Of course I did not. It had never occurred to me that this was the thing to do No com missioner has ever asked me about any part of Our Work Ol intimated that he desired Or expected to be consulted in regard to it. The pretext is evidently trumped up for the occasion; probably will also have to do duty in reports to the imperial government. It is now obvious that had I conferred with him I should have been forbidden to occupy those new islands. It is again reported that the Kommissar will very soon remove our teachers from I'jae, Namo, and Kwojelin. I inferred that a vessel had ahead}' sailed for this purpose, but the teachers had not come when Jere maia wrote.' At a later date Dr. Pease writes: '•The Commisstonei has removed the teacher from Ujae. The one on Kwo jelin the chief refused to part with. The remarkable story of this Christian work at Kwojelin was given in the Missionary Herald for July, page 278." On account of the attitude of the German authorities Dr. Pease regards the out look for the Marshall Islands work as very depressing. The work itself was never more prosperous, but under these restrictions placed on the preaching of the gospel little progress can be expected. natives Incorporated ISBB.

Hi Hawaiian Hoard ' A STRONG WITNESS. On the Sabbath when we in Honolulu were waiting in fear for what of battle the Monday might bring upon us, our dear brother Oliver P. Emerson was doing us good service in Washington. He told the statesmen of the Capital, from the pulpit of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, how intimately the political issue in Hawaii then agitating the United States, was connected with the struggle of heathenism, revived by the Monarch}', to overthrow the Christianity of the native people. Mr. Kmerson's large experience as Corns ponding Secretary of the Hawaiian Board had qualified him beyond anyother person to give accurate testimony upon this topic. It is a matter of congratulation that he was enabled to do so at such a time. Mr. Kmerson has since then contributed his testimony on the Hawaiian question to the Sub-Committee of Foreign Affairs of the U. S. Senate, before whom the fraudulent character of Mr. Blount's report is being thoroughly exposed by Prof. W. D. Alexander and many other reliable witnesses. We give Mr. Kmerson's discourse on another page. January 17th was observed with great as the first Anniversary of Abrogation of Monarchy in Hawaii, ■usiasm RESOLUTIONS. Resolved, That upon examination of the documents submitted by the Pastor and the Committee of the Central Union Church, the Council herewith certifies its approval of the actions recorded in regard to terminating the pastoral relation of Rev. K. G. Beckwith, D. D., as being in due form and order; and in accordance with the purport of the Letters Missive, does hereby declare Rev. K. G. Beckwith, 1). D., duly dismissed from the pastorate ofsaid Church, said dismissal to take effect, pursuant to the terms of the letter of resignation, at the close of the public services of worship on the coming Sabbath, January 14th, 1694. Resolved, That in coming to this decision, the Council puts upon record the regret which we all feel that this official relationship should so soon terminate, while at the same time we recognize and accept as a finality, the statement of facts, reasons, and considerations that have in the Providence of God, brought about this action at this time. Resolved, That in taking this action, we express alsoourpersonal sympathy lor the brother, whose presence and fellowship have always afforded us such cheer and comfort, whose judgment we have always found so helpful in circumstances that have made us hesitate and seek counsel in deciding questions of expediency or rightfulness, and whose labors for the people of his charge have been so incessant, so wise, and so acceptable. We congratulate the retiring pastor that he has been blessed with such a happy and successful pastorate for these past six years, consummating with such marked unanimity the union of two churches, and carrying on the work through the completion of such an arduous undertaking as the building, in a new location of a new ami costly house of worship, unencumbered with any indebtedness. We bespeak for our honored and beloved brother in his new relations, the trust and sympathy of those to whom he is now to minister, and abundant blessings for himself and family, as well as for his people, from the Great Head of the Church, our Divine Guardian, Guide and Kriend. ed and warm hearted management of the affairs of this metropolitan Church. It was then voted that after the reading and approval of the minutes, the Council should be dissolved; and that a copy of the minutes, signed by the Moderator and by the Scribe, should be forwarded to the retiring pastor, and to the Clerk of the Church. Dr. Beckwith thanked the Council for their expressions of Christian sympathy, and regretted that he had not been able to speak every one of the languages spoken by members of the Council so as to have had more frequent personal intercourse with the ministers and the Churches, to whom he wished now through the Pastors and Delegates to send his farewell greetings. The minutes were read and approved. Rev. H. 11. Parker led in a closing prayer, and the Moderator declared the Council dissolved. C. M. Hyde, S. E. Bishop, Moderator. Scribe. Honolulu, January 10, 1894. A Purse for Dr. Beckwith. The Retiring Pastor of Central Union Church, had a most affectionate Farewell Reception in the parlors of the church, on Monday, January 15th. A purse of $ 800, was presented to Dr. Beckwith as a mark of affectionate regard. The pastor's Farewell discourse was preached on the evening of Sunday the 14th. On the 16th Dr. and Mrs. Beckwith sailed lor Maui, where they were soon delightfully settled in their new home at Paia. where many days of happy usefulness are hoped for as in store for their later years. The total available cash balance in the Hawaiian Treasury on the 25th ult. had risen to $307,500.23. This large excess is due to the taxes which are now mostly collected for the year. Much is also due to the improvement of the government credit since the threatening attitude of the United States Minister came to an end. Since then some $30,000 have beeu received from excess of deposits in the Postal Savings Bank, and $15,000 from sales of Bonds. �10 THE FRIEND. Rev. O. P. Emerson at Washington A CHRISTIAN NATION. He Talks on Hawaii, A Heathenizing Monarchy. I Krurii rlir WmMmgUlk l-r.tnitlf; Slur of I 1,. rnil.i-i l-»lli.| Rev. (). P. Emerson, who has had much experience as a missionary in the Hawaiian Islands, delivered a very interesting address at the Metropolitan Pres byterian Church last evening, in which he presented some new facts in regard to the efforts made to Christianize the inhabitants of those islands and bow these endeavors were received by the Kalakauan dynasty. He drew a parallel between the experiences of the Hebrews weeping and praying by the rivers of Babylon for their subjugated country and of the Hawaiian people, and said Hawaiian (Christianity, during the continuance, at least, of the Kalakauan dynasty, has been hanging its harp upon the willows, for all this while it has been in the presence of most depressing and harmful, corrupt, idolatrous influence!. But now that this kingdom has, in the kind providence of God, been taken away we believe that the native Hawaiian churches will be able to do a work which the influence of a corrupt heathen court has, for the last twenty years, prevented them from doing. : A CHAPTER NEVER YET WRITTEN. There is a chapter in the history o' Hawaiian ('hristianity which the church- es of this land know little about. Indeed, it has hardly yet been written. But the time has come when it shall be written, and I believe it to be my duty to give you a certain acquaintance with it, for it accounts, in large measure, for the present situation of things out there, and it reveals the possibilities for good which may be hoped for by the Hawaiian churches as coming out of the late revo lotion. Many influences have operated to corrupt the Hawaiian Christianity and to weaken the power of the churches which the missionary fathers established, but I here submit that no one influence in all the land has been so baleful as the Kalakauan dynasty. No twenty years in all the history of those churches have been more sad and hopeless than the twenty years that have just passed, and which are now signalized by the over throw of that power. Permit me here to recountsome of the deeds of that dynast)', and let me say that what I bring to the charge of the late King Kalakaua I also bring to the charge of his sister, the late (jueen Liliuokalani; for though at first she carried into her reign a semblance of decency, at last, unfortunately for herself, she threw off this semblance and appeared in her real character. In recounting some of the evil influences exerted by these two reigns, permit me to mention first the encouragement which was given to idolatry, the appeal which was made to the old heathen and superstitious spirit which was still in the land. After the coming of the missionary fathers, and during the reign of the Kamehamehas, the determined assault which had been made upon heathenism had broken its power. The nation be came a really Christian nation. The generation was converted to the truth. Up to IXO3 more than 77,000 converts had been gathered into the churches. Then it was, during a visit ol Dr. Ander son, then foreign secretary of the A. B. C. K. M., that the policy Waa adopted of putting the churches under the charge of native pastors. The missionary fathers had done their work. They had reduced an unwritten language to writing; the-)' had translated the Bible and the hymn book, the spelling book and thearithmetic, and created a secular and religious literature, and founded the schools, the churches and the homelife where this was taught and enjoyed. In short, the)' had established in the hand a Christian civilization, and converted an entire people, and now, as the fathers dropped away to their rest. the policy of maintaining a foreign missionary pastorate was to give way to that of an independent Hawaiian pastorate. The outlook was hopeful; the wisdom of the fathers approved the change Before long twenty large parishes were divided into nearly three times the num her, and as fast as the native preachers could be trained they were put in charge of these parishes. FTIARHSETCKC ON HRISTIANITY. The first marked attack on the Hawaiian Christianity was made in IBflB, when King Lot Kamehameha began to issue licenses to Hawaiian kahunas or sorcerers. These licenses permitted these men to practice the healing art as they knew it. Their power was the power of the fetish worshipper; of the sorcerer and practise! of the black arts that appealed to the superstitious fears ol the people. Their use of drugs and herbs, where these were used, was supported by heathen incantations and prayers to the ancient gods. The) leveled these incantations and prayers against their enemies. They claimed to be able to pray people to death, and where prayers did not avail the)' would sometimes use poison. Thus they came to be a power in the bind that was feared. This power stood for the revival of superstition, and became it menace to the development of the Christian life. Bach village had its kahuna or sorcerer, who Was greatly feared. He was against the light, against the missionary influence, against the white man and the white government doctors. He professed to be able to heal the sick because he could pray people to death. Every native pastor had his antagonist in a native kahuna. Over against the church the kahuna set up his idolatrous shrine. Thus there has grown up a heathen part)- hating the [February, 1894. whites; a party that divides each parish in the land, and even invades the church, and in some cases the parsonage. I have heard Hawaiian pastors again and again tell in pathetic tones how these heathen influences have stolen away from them their people. INCREASE OFHEATHENINFLUENCES. I have heard them confess how the Kahunas have gained an influence in their own homes. How certain remedies have been recommended to them for some sick child of the house, and how, before they knew it, they would be in the hands of the Kahuna. I could tell instance after instance of this. 1 could tell how Hawaiian pastors have had their superstitious fears so worked on as to become themselves keepers of fetiches. I have heard them confess to this and relate the story of their final deliverance. I could go over the list of the Hawaiian ministry and give the names of probably nearly every man who now has fetiches in bis 01 ho. wife's possession, and who is thus more or less under the influence of the Kahuna or sorcerer of his parish. If I cannot name every man in the native ministry who is thus under the heathen influence I can name those who have come out of it to my personal knowledge, or those who were never afflicted by it. One of the great fights we are now making out here is against this heathen tendency, and the great and hopeful fact is this, that the Hawaiian pastors are waking op to the need of this light and are taking decided part in it ; and now that there is no longer a Hawaiian court to stand out against them in it, there is great hope that they will begin to make short work of the light. This, then, is the point I make against the late dynasty against Kalakaua and against CJueen Liliuokalani that while they ruled they gave countenance to this heathen party ; that they made a bid for its influence ; that they won it to their support; that they greatly enlarged it; that they intrenched it yet more strongly in the land, and use it to achieve their wicked ends. — KALAKAUA MADE THE PAGAN PARTY. It may be said that Kalakaua made the part)'. When he came to the throne he gathered the scattered forces of heathenism together and proclaimed himself their high priest, and led them in the onslaughts he made against the Christian civilization which had been so happily founded in Hawaii. He was about as corrupt a king as ever ruled on any throne. His court, like himself, was also corrupt. He himself was given to the practice of the grossest immorality. In his wickedness he fomented the race feeling. He worked through the heathen party to make the Hawaiian! bitter against the white man. He who had been enthroned almost by the white man became the white man's enemy. Though be should have been king for all, he �reigned in the interest of but a portion of his subjects. He tried to paganize the country and heathenize it. He made a deliberate attempt to bring the free church of Hawaii under his power. He worked to debauch its ministry. He set himself up as a student of the ancient heathen cult and founded a society for its revival. With a blasphemous purpose he declared that there was a harmony between the Christ ian and the heathen faith. He declared Jehovah to be but one of the gods to be supplicated. Kalakaua thus did his utmost to corrupt the Hawaiian Christianity. He brought it very low. He gave it a blow which it must be the work of a generation to heal, and my chargeis that Queen Liliuokalani followed at last the path which her brother had so plainly marked out. She gathered about her throne this corrupt heathen element. She allied it with her rule as one of its prominent factors, and when in those last mad days of her reign she sought to gain absolute power, she went through the farce of putting forward this bitter heathen element as the petitioners for the acceptance at her hand of the revolutionary constitution which she hail had her lawyer secretly prepare for her. Thus she gathered about her the worst elements of the land that they might come to her support during those last days of her mad purpose of self-aggran- dizement. RUATMHNTRAFFIC. DEOPIUM Hut again, there were other influences which these guilty Hawaiian rulers let loose on their people to their destruction. There was the ruin and opium traffic No rulers ever so encouraged this nefarious traffic as did the)*. Kalakaua legalized the sale of liquor among bis people, and sold two opium franchises at $70,(1(1(1 apiece, and (jueen Liliuokalani signed the distillery and opium bills. Kalakaua smuggled rum into his kingdom and set up saloons in interest of his own pocket; and Liliuokalani joined the opium ring and kept in power and near est to her on her throne men who were engaged in this lawless and wicked traffic. 11 THE FRIEND. Vol. 52, No. 2. | In the help they gave to the rum and the opium traffic, in the commercial gain they sought out of it for their piivate purses, King Kalakaua and Cjueen Liliuokalani are to be justly charged with a deliberate attempt to destroy the lives of their people. The speedy extinction which threatens that people may be traced largely to the use of these poisons. Liquor was the first potent poison to be plied, and then opium was added to it. Not only were the laws made such that liquor could be easily obtainable, but such men were kept in office that opium might come in also, for the trade was profitable to the royal purse, and on election days it was customary to furnish liquor to all who voted the royal ticket. Whisky helped the royalist fight his battle at the polls, and whisk)' was but a part of the bribe with which these rulers carried the day. If this traffic in rum and opium were to be countenanced, encouraged and continued for another twenty years, as it has been for the twenty years just past, the native Hawaiian would cease to be an element of importance in the land, for he would be mostly killed off. WHA'I WDIT I) FOLLOW A MONARCHY. Let this wicked rule which was represented by Kalakaua and his sister, con tinue to hold the ground for but half the time it has ahead)' held it, anil the native Hawaiian Christianity would be all but dead, for then the generation nowcoming up for its reinforcement would be so irreti'ievah y alienated from the truth and so corrupted as to be hardly convertible. Kvt-n now the pastors in the field are crying out that the hearts of the people have been so embittered and alienated as to make it all but im possible to reach them. This is what rum and opium and heathenism have done under xupport from the throne. This is what briber)' and part)' strife and the fomenting of race feeling have clone under the lead of the throne. The Corrupt pagan and heathen influence of the courts of Kalakaua and of Liliuokalani have reached so deeply into the life of that people that its recover)' must be slow. Not only has there been a deliberate attempt to corrupt the church, there has also been a deliberate and often achieved attempt to corrupt the state. The entire civil and social life of the people has felt the hurt of this ungodly, wicked court, anil if there is anything the Hawaiian people should thank God for, it is for its final, utter overthrow. The good native Christians out there will never again want to go back to that hateful idolatry. NO KING OR QUEEN CAN EVER AGAIN REIGN. No king or queen will ever again be able to beguile them into it. They have come by their sad experience to be above the corruption of a pagan court. Verily, I believe that the best of them will never cry to God again for a king or for a queen, for they have been fairly weaned from such rule. Nor will they be ontent with anything that is like!) to stand as a menace to their earnest purpose after a purer Christian life. But though that Hawaiian Christianity has been divorced, as we may believe, from any further liking for pagan and heathen ways; though there as in Israel so long ago the I loly One has been exalted, look at the pathos of the situation. They are not through with the fight. They are building up that outpost of civilization and holding it, as that Hebrew city was held and built of old. with the spade in one hand and the sword in the other. Will America look on, as did l'.dom in that day, only with a purpose to stop the work? That ancient Hebrew picture of brave men lighting lor God and for humanity against a wily enemy has appealed to the heart ofthe Christian world, and I believe in like manner the result Ofthat brave light now going on 111 Hawaii will appeal to your Christian < heart.

During the Black Week following the arrival of the Corwin, Mr. Willis had his second important interview with the ex-queen. Mr. J. Q. Carter had been laboring with her to abate her vengelulness, and concede the full amnesty which President Cleveland required her to promise as the condition ol her restoration. He was so far successful that on the 16th of December, 1893, in the presence of Mr. Willis and Mr. Carter, she expressed her willingness to permit her enemies to live, but insisted that they and their childien should be permanently banished, and their property confiscated. Otherwise there would never be any security for her and her subjects. Two days later, Mr. Carter prevailed on her to concede full amnesty, and Mr. Willis immediately demanded of the government to restore the bloodthirsty queen. The above is from Mr. Willis' own Mr. D. Howard Hitchcock has done superior work since his return from his three years study in Pans. A painting of Haleina'unia'u crater as seen in December, must certainly be conceded to he by far the best picture of our volcano which has ever been made. It has gone on the Hawaiian exhibit at the Midwinter Fair. Mr. Hitchcock has shown a high degree of talent in con quiring the difficulty of representing a daylight scene of the lava lake, and yet retaining the impressiveneas ol the out lb.wing fires. The tone of the coloring is quite different from any we have be fore seen, and seems truer to the reality. There is the best reason to believe that we are now to have a series ol pictures of Hawaiian scenery of a much higher order than have yet been produced. Our young painter seems really to have found his true calling. official statements. The editor of Tin pRIEND desires to make his record good with Mr. Then. 11. Davits.

Davies and S. E. Bishop. of January Rth, Mr. being misrepreDavies complains sented in Tin- pRif.ND for January, by Rev. S. E. Bishop's letter to The Independent, reprinted therein, in saying Daily Bulletin that Mr. Davies "charges that the Pro visional Government of Hawaii are tendering to the honorable American people a stolen kingdom, and trying to make them receivers of stolen goods. I Itaccuses his old friends, the missionaries' sons, of being the chief participants in this treason." Mr. Davies says "then again I did not •accuse my old friends, the mission aries' sons, of being the chief paitici pants in this treason.' I quoted the New York Times, which said, 'the kingdom was stolen. I never knew, or said 1 knew, who stole it, though I have my suspicions." 13 FRIEND. Mr. Bishop's representation in The I tidependent of the position taken byMr. Davies, was based upon his own language in his "Open Letter upon the Hawaiian Crisis," dated August 26th, 1893. Therein, after quoting from the N. Y. Times that "the Provisional Government is in the attitude of offering to dispose of stolen goods "--"it is a proposition to convey and make over to the United States a stolen kingdom." Mr. Davies goes on to enforce the truth of that charge, and adds, that "everyone knows that the movement has had the active sympathies of the bulk of the representatives of the honored missionary families; and with one exception, I do not know of a single protest that has been published in their name." Mr. Davies then goes on to devote one third of his letter to strong repre- hension of the report of the Evangelical Association in which, as he correctly intimates, the sons of missionaries take the lead. He does this on account of the Report's supporting the revolution. The foregoing is a dispassionate statement ol what Mr. Davies said in his Without comment, "Open Letter." our readers are asked to judge whether, as he complains, Mr. Bishop's statement of his accusation against the sons of missionaries was an incorrect one.

Hall, the treasurer of the Hawaiian Board, it is evident that the work of the Board has not been curtailed because of the political uncertainties of the country. Nor have generous friends and supporters of the Board failed to give liberally to defray the large expenditures ofits constantly increasing work. J. T. Waterhouse, Sr., has for two years given $ 150 monthly; and this form of giving has been of special advantage in carry ing on the operations of the Board. Rev. E. Bond, C. M. Cooke, Esq., Mrs. M. S. Rice, Mrs. J. M. Cooke have been large givers, enabling the Treasurer to meet the large amounts coming due at the beginning of the year. But the Foreign Works calls for an outlay of $3,000: North Pacific Mission ary Institute, $1,000: Cjueen Emma Hall, $1,200; Kohala Seminary, $1,000: other Hawaiian Work $1,800: Chinese Mission, $5,400; Portuguese, $3,600: |apanese, $3,000: Publications, $500: Gene ral Expenses, $2,500: a total of $24,000 as the very lowest calculation of proba ble expenses: or $28,000, if there is to be no retrenchment of absolutely necessary expenses, involving to that extent aban donment of some lines of most important Christian Work. The Hawaiian Board is only the agent and almoner of the Christian people of these islands, and of all who contribute to its treasury, or give to its permanent funds. It stands ready to do whatever is practicable, urgent and feasible, with the resources and workers at its disposal. It has tried and true friends who have never failed to come to its help in any time of special need. But it would welcome help from the many men of means and of benevolence outside of its present constituency. It needs and asks the generous support of all who love their fellows, all who pray for the establishment and progress of Christ's king dom, all who will cordially cooperate in the good work it is doing, which needs now, more than ever, not only the large gifts of those who have ample means, but also a larger number of gifts from more people of smaller means. Let the need prompt you to give, and with your gifts let there be earnest prayer that God will bestow a special blessing upon those who administer your bounty as well as those who are the recipients of it. 15 THE FRIEND.

THE FRIEND. 16 Work Among the Portuguese. Rev. A. Y. Soares reports 162regular church services held during the year. Many meetings have been held in the homes of the church members. Occasional meetings have also been attended at the homes of persons, at first opposed, but now friendly. Out of their poverty the people have contributed for benevolent and church work, $101.90. The arrival of a Roman Catholic priest who could speak Portuguese, created a little stir at first, but there has been apparently no change in the condition of affairs in consequence of his coming. Dr. N. B. Emerson is Sabbath School Superintendent, and the school continues to prosper. Mrs. A. F. Cooke has gathered books enough to make a promising beginning of a Sabbath School Library. The day school now enrolls over 10(1 scholars. The evening school is still maintained. There has been organized also a Missionary Society which, in time, will concentrate and deepen the missionary spirit of the chinch members and others. Is to be completed by the Ist of August.

The present is truly a time for all in Hawaii nei who believe in God's help and guidance, earnestly and unitedly as possible to implore His aid in the settlement of our public affairs. The time seems to have arrived when action is to taken for determining under what Constitutional forms the state shall go forward. The Government and the People are already taking up the work, as we believe in a sincere, patriotic, and conserative spirit of laying carefully and wisely these new foundations. The past history of Hawaii has shown wonderfully God's helping and directing hand saving from perils and establishing our affairs in prosperity. Our trust must be in Him forthe future. We must meet the perplexities of each day as they come, not daunted by perils and difficulties. Surely we may feel confident that God's guiding and helping hand is with us, and will carry us through. Mrs. Asenath Spring Green. IN MEMORIAM. home for thirty two years in Makawao, Maui, on February 4th, in the 73rd year of her age, after several weeks of patient suffering. "Mother Green," as she was affectionately called by her warm-hearted neighbors, was born at Hrimfield, Mass., March 23d, 1820. She taught for many years, for the most part in the public schools of Providence. She was married on Sept. 11, 1861, to the late Rev. Jonathan S. Green, and arrived with him at his home in Makawao, Dec. 11, of the same year. Father Green's two children, Porter and Mary, were already in active life. Two more, Frank and Laura, were born of this later marriage. Mrs. Green presided over a home of much straitness of means, Father Green having withdrawn from the American Board and its support many years before, on account of what he regarded as the Board's wrong complicity with slavery. Mrs. Green's great practical efß ciency made their narrow means go far, and kept up the well-known and gracious hospitality of the Makawao Missionary's home. Not less was her loving and capable spirit felt in the work of the Church and the Sabbath School. Left in widowhood in 1878, with her children still in tender years. Mrs. Green, herself advanced in years, bravely kept up the missionary home not only,but faithfully ministered in Church and Sabbath School to the remnant of the once large flock of her husband's parish, who were under the care of a native pastor. On the day of her death, with wandering thoughts she said "I must go to Sunday School.'' Mrs. Green was a woman of refinement and cheerful self-forgetfulness, delightful in social intercourse, and full of benevolence and good works, especially for the young. Of good works her laborious life has been full. Her Christian faith was deep and fervent. Her light shone brightly. She was one greatly beloved. She is mourned as a dear friend by hundreds of Hawaiians as well as of foreigners. Her children are Mr. Frank C. Green and his three children of Worcester, Mass, and Miss Laura C. Green of Makawao, with her step daughter the devoted missionary Miss Mary E. Green. She was buried Feb. sth in the old Foreign burying ground in Makawao, the services being conducted by Revs. Dr. Beckwith, Kuia of Paia, and Kapu Messrs. J. W. Kalua, of Wailuku.

Alexander, in brief and acIt is so admirable a concurate form. densation of the history of the Hawaiian people, that Thh PsiBNQ gladly adopts it, as of good service at this time, when so many are iuquiring about Hawaii. Miss Field says: Professor of languages, mathematician, surveyor and historian, Prof. Alex- ander is in Washington to tell the truth about the country he loves and longs to see at peace with all the world. What he says is worth reading. Naturally I began with Captain Cook. "What was the condition of the islanders when discovered by the English ?" "The people were not savages, but barbarians of" a rather noble type. Occupying the most isolated position in the world, and separated for ages from all intercourse with the rest of the human race, without metals or cereals, or domestic animals,except dogs and swine, they were probably deteriorating in every respect. Wars were becoming more ftequent and bloody and the common people more degraded and oppressed, while both the church and state were growing more despotic and cruel." "How large was the population ?" "It was probably at least a quarter of a million. There is reason for believing that it was stationary if not decreasing at the time of the discovery, and that the vitality of the race was already im- paired." "How were the natives ruled ?" "Until the reign of Kamehameha I. there were generally at least four separate kingdoms in the group; sometimes the single island of Hawaii was divided between several independent chiefs. The people were divided into three classes, viz.: chiefs, priests and the common people, or serfs. The position of a chief was not merely political, but of a sacred and religious character. He was descended from the gods, was guarded by awful taboos while living and deified after death. The common people were tenants at will, and had no rights which a chief was bound to respect. It is estimated that common laborers did not receive on an average more than a third of the avails of their industry, the other two-thirds being divided between the chiefs of different grades and the King. The middle class of freemen which existed in New Zealand and Tahiti was nearly absent in Hawaii." �18 THE FRIEND. "Was cannibalism practiced ?" "When did the first missionaries ar"No. On the contrary, it was regard- rive ?" ed with horror and detestation."

He and the next two kings of ("March, 1894. the Kamehameha dynasty had some conception of their position as constitutional sovereigns and of the proper policy to be pursued toward foreigners. They did not regard themselves as merely kings of the native Hawaiians, and they generally exercised their powers in accord,nice with English precedents. They availed themselves of the advice and assistance of the best white men in the country, without whom the experiment would have failed in the outset. During the reign of Kamehameha V, a reactionary tendency began to show itself among the natives, and the former good understanding between the races began to be impaired. One cause of tins was the withdrawal of the American Board of Missions. It was a fatal mis take. Thus passed away a class of white men who were unselfishly devoted to the interests of the natives, and who possessed thii confidence. They acted as mediators between the natives and that portion of the white population which had less regard for their rights and welfare. "Another cause was the premature extinction of the order of chiefs, who were the natural leaders of their race, and whose part could not be filled by plebeians or foreigners. The scourge of leprosy, which has compelled the enactment ol severe segregation laws, has helped to widen the breach between the races. The consequences were seen in the lawlessness and race hatred that broke out in Lunalilo's reign." "Will you briefly sketch the reign of Kalakaua ?" "During Kalakaua's reign there was an extraordinary development of the resources of the country produced by foreign enterprise and capital, and a large increase of the foreign element in the population. King Kalakaua, however, seemed to consider himself as merely a Hawaiian chief, and to regard the white residents as alien invaders. His object seemed to be to change the system of government into an Asiatic despotism like that of Johore, and to deprive the white race, in time, of all voice in its administration. He made systematic elforts to demoralize the native population by the revival of sorcery, by removing the prohibition of the sale of liquor to the natives, and by fomenting race hatred and jealousy under the guise of 'national' feeling. He abused his appointing power without stint, and packed the Legislature with subservient office holders. He employed carpet-bag adventurers and renegade whites as Cabinet Ministers to carry out his schemes. At last his conduct became so infamous that an uprising in IKB7 of nearly the whole population of every nationality, together with the better class of natives took place. It compelled the King to sign a revised Constitution which put an end to personal rule, and gave the white element a voice in the Government.

"What of the ex Queen and the last revolution ?" "Grave apprehensions were felt at her accession to the throne, which were partially relieved by her promptly taking the oath to maintain the Constitution of 1887. In her published statement she affirms that she signed it unwillingly. The Supreme Court decided that the late Cabinet expired with the King. This gave her an opportunity to dictate terms to the incoming Cabinet an to secure control of appointments. Her first condition was that the notorious favorite, C. B. Wilson, should be appointed Marshal, with control over the whole police force of the Kingdom. He surrounded himself with B gang ol disreputable characters, and associated open ly with notorious opium smugglers, while opium joints, gambling houses, etc., flourished with the connivance of his police. At the same time, he was known to have more influence in the administration than an)- member of the Cabinet. The Queen then formed an alliance with the agents of the Lottery Company by which she expected to conciliate the support of the unthinking populace and secure a revenue independ ent of loans. The proclamation of a despotic constitution in which the whites were to be disfranchised would have completed her scheme, and was expected to be popular with the majority of the natives.

He was in New York lately and called at the office of this journal to express the gratitude of the brethren in that land for the service rendered by the Christian Herald, three years ago, in calling the attention of the Christian world to the valiant struggle they are waging there in the face of tierce opposition. He informed us that the little church in Callao is still holding together, that the converts are themselves preaching the Gospel, that live schools have been opened, and the people, al though very poor, are contributing out of their meagre earnings, funds for extending the work. They have also in contemplation the erection of a stone chapel, and Dr. Wood, we understand, secured contributions during his stay in New York, to the amount of a thousand dol Christ's kingdom must rejoice in this brave solporteur, and his dead body was news; for not in Africa, or China, or any found on a lonely road near the frontier. heathen land, are there difficulties so As it has ever been in the history of the stupendous in the way of the progress church, others volunteered to take up of the Gospel as there are in this South the work commenced by the dead.

After a few months, being un the safe prediction that Mongiardino molested, he opened a small hall where �THE FRIEND. 20 the services were held for the converts whom Penzotti gathered around him. His presence had not been unobserved by the priests and when he opened his hall they secured bis arrest under a statute forbidding the holding of public services other than those of the Romish Church. The story of his imprison ment, which lasted over eight months, has already been told in this journal. Kventually, through the friendly offices of Mr. Blame, then Secretary of State, and the protest of the Italian minister in Peru, Penzotti was released. He took a brief tour for the recuperation of his health, but was soon back again at Callao, where be is now, prosecuting his beloved work. During his imprisonment the services in the little hall were not discontinued. Two of the converts ministered to the of their ability to the little Hock and prayer was made continually to God for the release of the beloved Pastor. Menacing words wer chalked on the doors and walls of the hall threatening all who attended, with death, but they did not deter the people from coming. The number of converts grew and, as always happens in time of persecution. they were genuine men prepared to make sacrifices for their faith. Missionaries of the Methodist Episcopal Church went to Penzotti's aid and the work was extended. Dr. Wood, who is at the head of that mission, says that now there is a genuine movement for freedom of religious worship which is growing in popular favor. A congregation has been gathered in Lima itself and live schools have been established for children. Two colporteurs are aiding in the work of Bible distribution and two liible women are engaged in house to bouse visitation. Both the colporteurs and Bible women are converts of the mission and they are true and tried Christians. One of the colporteurs name Arancet was recently attacked by a murderous mob who dragged him away to stone him. Arancet knelt down in their midst anil prayed for his would-be murderers. Providentially the arrival of an officer prevented the commission of the crime. Luisa Hurtado, one of the Bible women, had been threatened with burning and has been reminded that it is not long ago that a priest in northern Peru caused a woman to be burned. But sin- and a fellow-laborer are fearlessly continuing their work. The heroism of these devoted men ane women is beyong all praise. Although they are aware that they are hated by the priests who are unscrupu lous enough to incite the mob to do them a mischief, they shrink from no service which has a promise of useful ness. Dr. Wood says that the outlook is full of promise and every year adds to the force of the movement. The schools, especially, hold out a bright prospect. The children as they grow up will carry the Gospel influence with them into the homes and will open the way to other avenue now closed. The belong to many nationalities. Beside the native Peruvians, there are children of European, Indian, African and Chinese parents. Two of the five schools are selfsupporting and the others partially so. Eight of the teachers are natives who receive instruction in theology when not engaged in teaching. So much lias come under the blessing of God on Penzotti's work. The project of erecting a chapel in Callao as a memorial of Penzotti's bravestand for truth, is one reflecting great credit on the little band of Christian people. As they are poor, it will neces sarily be a slow and arduous work, but should it take definite shape, they will doubtless receive encouragement and help from Christians in America and other lands, whose hearts cannot but be touched by their fidelity to Christ in the face of persecution.

An active movement is now in progress in the Woman's Board, organizing a "Kindergarten Department," to organize, equip, and support this class of schools. The feeling is growing in great strength that no class of mission work is more fruitful than this of taking the neglected infant ones into skillful Christian training and nurture. Miss Camaia of the primary department in the Portuguese Mission schools, says she finds those who came from the Kindergarten are much more easily taught than others and rapidly outstrip them in knowledge. .

We shall greatly rejoice when he comes to resume the work, as we trust, with renewed strength. An Appeal to theFriends of Evangelical Work as Carried on by the Hawaiian Board. In view of the enlargement of our 23 THE FRIEND. Who can withhold sympathy and aid, if once a visit is paid to our schools and church? The personal knowledge gained of the steady upward growth of these last few years will dispel much prejudice, and deepen the desire of every Christian heart to see more and more of the triumphs of the Gospel among those who have come trom the land of despotism and superstition to this land of liberty and enlightenment to build their homes here and help build up the nation of the future. And our Japanese work, now being more efficiently manned and more thoroughly organized than ever, has its claims upon the wise and thoughtful liberality of this community. The measure of success already attained is a hopeful indication of the abundant harvest we may expect from faithful, loving, persistent Christian work for this people, so eager to avail themselves to the best advantage of the privileges accorded to them in these islands. The expenses for the last year were over $25,000. While the work has increased upon our hands, a careful estimate of the probable expenditures will not exceed that amount. For the Foreign Work, we need $3,000; North Pacific Missionary Institute, 5750; Cjueen Emma Hall, $1,200; Kohala School, $500; other Hawaiian work, $1,800; Chinese Work, $5,100; Portuguese, $3,600; Japanese, $3,000; Publications, $500; General Expenses, 53.600. The treasurer has received already about $18, COO. The balance must be secured in some way before May 15th, when the treasurer's books are closed for the year. The special need is for the salaries ot the Hawaiian Missionaries in the Marquesas and (iilbert Islands. Will you not esteem it a privilege to help in this work by such contribution as you may wish to send to the Treasurer, work, and the increasing draft on the resources of the Board, we are constrained to make a special appeal for prompt and generous financial aid from all who are interested in its various undertakings. In the providence of God, with the new developments of the Islands in the line of political and industrial progress, there have been laid upon us also new obligations and new burdens. While every effort is made to use wisely and economically the means put at its disposals, every expenditure being closely scanned as to its necessity and limitations, the Board believes that the opportunities for Christian work, and the necessities of each individual case, call for liberal aid from Christian people in W.

There are a good number of more or less efficient Japanese preachers in the work among their countrymen throughRev. Jiro Okabe, out the islands. especially, has had remarkable success. Mr. Gulick's long experience in Japan qualifies him to supply what the Hawaiian Board need, more fully to understand the needs of these good Japanese brethren. It is hoped also that Mr. and Mrs. Gulick may find the way open for valuable work among our Hawaiian churches, whose language they have not forgotten, after twenty-five years absence from their native land. Has Not Reached Ruk. The R. ll'. Logan that was sent back from Yokohama to Kuk, and ought to have reached there October Ist, had not arrived January 2d, the latest date of communications received from that island. Grave fears are entertained as to the safety of the little vessel. There are four Japanese companies now engaged in trade with the Caroline Islands, so that there are opportunities for sending a mail from Yokohama to Ruk six or eight times a year. The next vessel will leave Japan March 15th. Howells is quoted as declaring that the most important thing to be done is to "Christianize Christianity." This may strike the conventional Christian as violent, but to the student of the Sermon oil the Mount and Paul's apostrophe to Christian love, the declaration is both warranted and just. Christendom is still spelling out crudely the rudimentary and doctrinal tenets of Christianity. As another has forcibly said: "We are not yet Christians, for we have not yet realized the ethical ideal of Christianity. Christianity means liberation from the beast in us. We fight one another, we rob one another, and covet our neighbor's goods; we lust after women. We do not give our raiment to our brother in need, nor do we speak the truth by yea, yea; nay, nay. But to keep these commandments is Christianity, and the keeping of them is independent of dogmatic belief. A few individuals may follow the Master, but human society does not even profess the teachings of the Christ. Pew attempts have been made to realize them. Charles Kingsley was the first in our century to make an earnest effort in the right direction. He did not try to convert the people to the Church, but to place the Church at the service of the people."—Zion's Herald. �Chinese Restriction. Many thousands of Chinese laborers have been imported into these islands under contract to work on the sugar plantations. On the expiration of their terms of contract, a majority of these laborers seek other employments. Many of them become mechanics and tradesmen. They are able to live on a fraction of what is necessary for white men in the same employments, and are extremely patient and assiduous in toil. Hence they are generally able to crowd out white mechanics and clerks, especially in the lower grades of these occupations. From the white man s point of view, this is necessarily regarded as a great evil. The white mechanic will not fail to see it a great grievance that his em ployment is taken from him, and his rate of wages forced down by Chinese labor. This grievance is a genuine one and cannot be ignored on any plea of philanthropic regard for men of other races, as is apt to be done without proper discrimination by writers residing on the Atlantic Coast. The white mechanic who lives by daily manual toil is necessarily sensitive on this subject. There is also a wider view affecting the question of unlimited immigration of Chinese. The Hawaiian Islands are gravitating to America. The}' are cvi dently destined to become the gieat commercial outpost of America in the North Pacific. Their important position will ensure them within a no distant period a population as large as can find subsistence, perhaps 500,000. The aboriginal Hawaiians, now less than 40,000, will contribute but a small percentage of this coming population. the rest be predominantly white, 1 they be Mongoloid ?

THE FRIEND. 24 . immigration, without the resulting competition with skilled white labor. On February Ist, a bill was introduced into the Councils which requires all Chinamen to pay one dollar each for a license before engaging in any trading or mechanical occupation, and which forbids such licenses to be issued to any Chinaman not previously so employed. This Bill is said to be unconstitional. Probably it would be otherwise difficult to make such a law practically effective. It seems to be radically unjust, and contrary to the natural rights of nun to improve their condition. This bill has awakened a determined protest among tne Chinese residents themselves. On the evening of February 14th, they in a very orderly manner, held an immense mass meeting in the Chinese Theatre, and passed a series of admirably expressed resolutions, denouncing the bill, and demanding to be treated with "no lesser degree of consideration and justice than residents of other nationalities enjoy." It is not easy to see how any proper denial can be made to this demand, or how any non-resident Chinese can just ly be restricted as to their choice oi occupation It may howevei be permissible to make such restrictions a condition of admission for future Chinese immigrants. Many feel that it would be far better to prohibit future importation ol Chinese labor, and seek labor supplies from Portugal. The Chinaman is, in many important respects, a valuable citizen, although ill adapted for happy commingling with the European. The cross between the Chinese and the Polynesian is of far more serviceable quality than that of the half white Hawaiian. The Chinese blood supplies in a degree which European blood does not, the qualitieswhich the Hawaiian most fatally lacks, of patient, plodding industry and adherence to rule and system. The European contributes too much of a head strong and passionate element. Manx of our finest half-bred citizens are those with a portion of the careful, patient Chinese blood. A limited contribution of this element to the Hawaiian of the future will be of great value. ants. From both of the above points of view, it seems practically certain that the strong restriction of Asiatic immigration into the Hawaiian Islands is certain to be prominent in the public policy of the future. Hawaii is not likely to be alienated from its natural destiny in fellowship with the American Union, to become an Asiatic Colony. Cjuite distinct from such restriction upon immigration of Chinese should be kept the question of the treatment ot Chinese already residing in this country. It seeming desirable for the plantations to import additional labor ers from China, an effort has been made by suitable legislation, to permit such "Lord, it is good for us to be here,' the disciples said. And it was good fo them to be there; but not too long. Man was sent into this world not merely to see, but to do: and the more he sees the more he is bound to go and do accordingly. St. Peter had to come down from the mount and preach the gospel wearily for many years, and die St. Augustine, at last npon the cross. though he would gladly have lived and died doing nothing but fixing his soul's eye steadily on the glory of God's goodness, had to come down from the mound likewise, and work and prea< h and teach and wear himself out in daily drudgery for that God whom he learned 1 to serve—Charles Kingslev. 1 n, ■<>]•],<, ruled IMMO.

Over 200 ladies were present, including many sojourners from abroad. Alter the opening exercises of devo tion the President, Mrs. Dr. Hyde, in trpduced the missionary guests to the audience. The first speaker was Mrs. Dr. I'ease, of the Marshall Islands mission, whose home has been on Kusaie for the past seventeen years. Mrs. I'ease gave a most interesting narration of their last season's cruise on the Morning Stor among the different isl ands anil stations of the group. This will he more fully given in Mrs. Pease's own journal published in Tin FRIEND. The Star now visits I I out of:?.'! islands, many of which are small with few inhabitants. By permission of the German authorities., 2. teachers were located, 13 of whom are ordained. A great feeling of rebel pervades those churches at the establishment of a friendly understanding with the government. A Roman Catholic Propaganda is expected, which will probably make some trouble. Mrs. Hyde stated that news came by the Australia of the appointment of a new missionary anil his wife t > take up the wink which Dr. I'ease had left. There were 11,00(1 people in the Marshall Islands. Mrs. Hyde then said that five years ago a young missionary whatevt.-i was permitted with their people. Hciltv N.inape is able and faithful.

The population of the Kuk lagoon is I 2,0011. and of the Moit locks of the same field, MOO. Kuk is 35(1 miles wist from l'onape. and 680 from Kusaie Mrs. Logan recalled her sailing hence with Mr. Logan len yeais ago to Kuk. With the help of the teacher Moses, they selectt d their station whico Mr. Logan named Anapauo, or Real. There he "fell asleep." The people are the most wailike and ■avage in the Caroline Islands. They thronged around them in abaolute nudity. On Mrs. Logan'a return in 1889, she found eight girls kept together by Mr. Snelling. She had a school of from 9 to 12 girls the first year. Miss Kinney joined her the next year, and they had a new house with an average of M'rls. four of these are married to native teacheis. Now there are only twelve pupils, owing to the cloud ol war that is over the islands. The}' have been lotted away by then heathen pat cuts. The Misses Kinney, and Ahell remain in charge of the school. Mrs Logan'a titter, Miss boss, has gone to assist Miss Hoppin on Kusaie. Mis. Logan besought the prayera ol the women of Honolulu for that school. The outlook is not bright. The gitls are married very early. It is a great reproach if they are not. liut things ate going to he better. A missionary and his wile are to leave China and go to Kuk. Letters of thanks were read from mis sionaries for gifta sent by the Woman's Hoard. The venerable Mother Rice recalled the stay with them at I'unahou in IBR2 ol the pioneer inissionaiies going to Micronesia. Mrs. Bingham repotted the way in which the HOC Bibles sent to the Gilbert Islands were instantly sold, and twice the number called for. The meeting closed with a hymn. It was a time of deep interest and feeling, long to he remembsred. A sale of mats and fans was then held in the Ladies kitchen. They had been taken in pay for books in the Marshall Islands.

The husband passed away to a higher service, A child rame soon after to the survivor, who would now speak to us. Mrs. Forbes then gave a graphic sketch of the daily routine of missionary life in Kusaie, which was very systema tic, and filled not merely with labors, but with recreations as well. They always went out prepared for rain. They watched the sunsets, which were nearly at the same hour at all seasons. Dr. I'ease tinkered up all the umbrellas of the missionaries. Mrs. Forbes said her work was little compared with Mrs. Pease's multifarious tasks. Mrs. Dr. Whitney then read a few short selections from the journal of Miss Hoppin, including a description written by a native scholar of a canoe trip around the island. The arrival of the Morning Star was always an occasion of delirious excitement to the girls, to whom it meant communication with their islet homes. One of them quoted Matt. '-:Ib. "And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy." Mrs. Rand of the Ponape Mission next addressed the audience.' Debarred by the Spaniards from l'onape, they had spent their two years work on the island of Mokil 80 miles east of l'onape with only IMI people. They had chosen this rather than the larger and more populous l'ingelap because higher and more healthy. The people had received them enthusiastically, and done everything possible for them in the way of food and houses. Our man pulled down his wooden cottage to furnish lumber to ekeout Mr. Hand's few planks. All hands helped and in one month they moved into the half finished house. A school of sixty pupils was maintained, some of them from Pingelap and Ngatik. Ngat ik people had until recently been hostile to Christianity, but now were warmly friendly. The 10(1(1 people on Pingelap had become much discouraged by the apparent neglect of the Mission. The work was now reviving. 20(1 pupils were in the schools, and they were building a new church. The Kands' stay on Mokil near by had been a great encouragement to the l'onape Christians. They had called at Ponape twice a year on the Morning Star; but the visits were short and unsatisfactory.

A large crowd of people were on the beach to greet us, anil there were other large groups, here antl there, who had not yet learned the art of handshaking. The church was packed full, and many had to remain OUtStde, After Dr. Pease and Jeremiah had once more presented the "old, old story, Miss Hoppin and I had a meeting with the women.

After our lunch Miss Hoppin and I walketl across the island, finding more of beauty and variety than we bad thought possible on a coral island. We found some hills which must have been six or eight feet high, and hollows that might pass for valleys; shady nooks, but no sparkling water to beautify the landscape only slimy pools.

They are anxious that he should return to them again sometime. Labil is good aad trustworthy, but has not had much education. His present wife is said to be very kind the former one was very cross and we hope she will be a real help-meet for him. Sept. SO. yesterday afternoon was a busy one at Mejij. Miss Hoppin and I were the first white women ever seen there and a chief woman adopted us at once as her children, patted our cheeks, stroked and examined our dresses, begged us to give her our hats and thought we were very beautiful. Before their teacher was taken away last fall, they had built a new church and wor shipped in it twice, so we had a place to hold s meeting. An old man, Mr. Mitchell by name, is a trader here, so a good many people were clothed. Still there was plenty of bronze and more heathenism than I have evercome in contact with before. Larejiband Nijamonni, who have been in school at Kusaie for three years are to be stationed here. The Star has to lie off and on here. When we reached fhe island the tide was very low and we could only go the edge of the reef with the boat and then walk on the reef to the beach. A host of men, — with all its power. It was quite cool and pleasant however, when we reached the shade of the trees. The people seem very glad that they are to have a teacher once more. The questions are asked us everywhere, "Why were the teachers removed last year' Will it oc cut again?" Dr. aad I came very neat lit ing "babes in the wood." While we were waiting for the tide to rise we went toward the interior of the island to find a well and ascertain whnt kind of drinking water was obtainable. There were a great many paths and we got lost and wandered ever so far from the church. Fortunately there was plenty of time and we finally came upon a native who directed us into a right way. Oct. r>, Thursday. We have been five days and half in getting the 260 miles from Mijij to Mille where we are now at anchor. Our scholars hauled some nice fish on to the deck as we came down the lagoon A great number of people were at the beach to greet us when we went ashore, and Likinebbe, the pastor's wife, assured us a great many more were coming. The large church was well filled—the ushers (?) did their duty faithfully, and five or six chiefs whose faces are nearly coveted with tattoo marks, sat in a row on a bench. There are thirteen chiefs who are church members here besides a number of their children. The year has been a happy and prosperous one with Lejilairik as pastor and Likorok as teacher. When Lejilairik rose to say his farewell words to his Hock, he told them that he did not come to them in wisdom, tor he was only an ignorant man, but he came because it seemed to be God's will that he should try to explain God's word as it had been taught to him, that he had been very happy with them, they had all been kind and God had blessed them with his presence. Now it seemed to be God's will that he should leave them and go to another place, and he wanted to do his will whatever it was. The church has increased by 54 and now numbers 187. Jeremiah used an illnstrstion in his remarks which interested me very much. They make their canoe sails of the leaf of the pandanus or screw pine, and to protect them when furled they make a cover like a long pocket which they call an "atro.'' Jeremiah told them we were going to America and that they would now be like a sail without an "atro," exposed to the destroying effects of the sun and rain, "but,"' he added, "shall we grieve because of this? No, we have an atro who will shield us always and will never go away from us, Jesus Christ is our atro and we need not fear. It is a benediction to us to have Jeremiah with us when we make the tour of the islands. He is a saint indeed whom there is no guile, and is known and loved all through the group. . �28 THE FRIEND. Oct. *J. service on shore at Jaluij one which we shall never forget. The large church was well filled with eager lists-tiers—save the babies who had no respect for the place. The people had been gathering from the different islets during the week, in expectation of Jeremiah's return for communion Sunday. Five young people were received into the church, and the whole service was very impressive and helpful. We had a short service with the women after the congregation was dismissed, then there was much handshaking. A new passenger had arrived since the day before, a baby girl for Likinlebbe, which I have named Almiia. This morning we went ashore to collect our family and say our good byes. A huge number of cocoanuts, fowls, and mats were presented us, although the people who gave them will be hungry in consequence. We have had similar presents at some of the other islands. Notwithstanding the German doctor at Jaluij more people, at all the islands, want medicine than ever before, and the ship has been swarming with them today. Jeremiah came on board to be with us up to the last minute. The hardest thing have done yet is to leave him. Jeremiah '-'d and wife rode to Jebwar with us. We came there soon after breakfast to take on some coal, visit the Commissioner, and mail some letters. Oct. 11. We are again at Ebon, have established Lijilairik. Lokorok and their wives at the mission house, gathered together our scholars, and prepared to sail for Kusaie. yesterday, Our was Rev. E. M. Pease, M. D. This veteran missionary leader has been with us in Honolulu the past few days, on his journey homewards with his wife and his two sons, who need now to enter upon their period of higher education. These tall lads born in the mission field suggest it measure of the time of tluir parents' long and sue cessful service for the building up of the Church of Christ among the people of the Marshall Islands. Dr. and Mrs. Pease arrived there in 1*77. lie first located at the old mission station on the coral atoll of Ebon, As i physician he soon became convinced that for American missionaries, the conditions of life on such an island were wasteful of strength and health. With his great determination of character, he secured the removal of the Mission to the high island of Kusaie or Strong's Island, 400 miles west of Fbon. There he established a Training school for teachers and their wives, to which youths and older scholars were conveyed annually, and at the expiratton of their three or four years term of training were returned to their native islands, and many of them located on the different islands as teachers. Under the wise and efficient manage- of Doctor and Mrs. Pease, their system of conducting the Marshall Islands mission has proved eminently sue cesslul. Those Islands are now far ad vanced in the process of evangelization The people have made great progress in Christian living and in the habits of civilization. Doctor Pease has generally been able to make an annual tjur of the Islands in the Morning Star, locating teachers and preachers, collecting new scholars, supervising the churches and pastors. With his masterful char acter and devoted labors, he has exercised a genuine Fpiscopal authority over that people, and all have learned to look up to him as a great spiritual aument thority. This immense influence of the missionary has been a cause of serious jealousy on the part of the German authorities who have exercised the civil government over the group for ten years past, and they have thrown many obstacles in the way of Dr. Pease's labors. The tension of their relations has been severe. On his visit to the Governor's headquarters on Jaluit last September, a better understanding seemed to be se cured. The journal of Mrs. Pease states some of the facts in this connection. The retirement—only temporary, it is hoped—of Dr. Pease from his labors, comes at a time when he can look back upon ;i noble work brought to a condi lion of successful progress. He and Mrs. Pease will now apply themselves to a revision of the Scriptures in that language as well as the publication of other books. It is hoped that another missionary may at once be found to go on with the Training School. It is left temporarily in the charge of Miss Hoppin, who is so well known in Honolulu. Rev. Mr. Channon at the same location at Kusaie, is conducting a similar Training school for the Gilbert Islands. Rev. Mi.

Petitions have been sent in on the other hand protesting against it as violation of the Sabbath and distur- bance of its quiet. Such recreation and amusement on Sunday undoubtedly strikes very differently according to their education the minds of even sincerely religions persons. To us it would be felt as a species of desecration. This may be prejudice. But we venture to beg our friends the Daily Editors to have a kindly respect for our prejudices, and to go a little slow about this matter. There is no urgency in it. There is a large anil deservedly influential class of residents who feel just as we do, and whose religions sensibilities would be keenly hurt by the proposed action. The present is a time of much clash and collision of political and othei sentiments. Is it not best to exercise even a little extra courtesy towards one's aeighbors, although their prejudices may seem antiquated? The working nun who it is alleged need this entertainment which they can not find timefor on week days (bow about the frequent evening conceits?) will pro bably not make outcry if they go a little longer without their Sunday indulgence. Hawaii has a noble record for Sunday observance. No country or city suffers in reputation or financial credit by such a record. Real estate is as a rule of greater value in towns where Sunday is strictly kept than where it is not. We venture to predict that the value of residence property in the vicinity of Thomas Square would be seriously injured by the proposed Sunday Conceits there. It has been rather a matter of Surprise to us to see our coteniporaiy Editors all showing such a lack of historical infoj mation as to talk about the "Connecticut Blue Laws." If these gentlemen wen: as well posted as Fditors ought to Be, they would know that no such laws ever existed upon the Statute Books of the State of Connecticut or of any other American State. The "Blue Laws" were entirely the mendacious invention of a vile Tory Clergyman named Peters who thus revenged himself for being expelled from Connecticut. Kducated men ought not to use this "blue law" slang of vulgar anil ignorant scoffers.

Report of the Morning Star, 1893--4. The Morning Star sailed from Honolulu for Micronesia June 7th, and had an uneventful passage of 17 days to Butaritari Misses Kinney anil Wilson were passengers. At Butaritari found the schooner Hiram Bingham. Communicated with Mr. Walkup; landed supplies to the Hawaiian missionaries and sailed June 27th for Kusaie, where we arrived July 3d, and remained until the 12th. Upon hearing that Mr. Snelling's health was improving it was thought best to land supplies before going west. for the same reason it was decidetl to do all of Mr. Rand's work before returning to Kusaie from the west this differ! a little from the schedule. Landed Miss Wilson and the mission supplies, and sailed the 12th for Mokil, with Mr. Rand on board. We sailed the 15th for Ponape, where we arrived the next day; no one on board Avas allowed to leave the colon* fot snj other part of the island, either In the ship or a boat, except Mr. Boivker; he Avas allowed to go to Kiti for his Avife. I asked the governor why the Stall was not allowed to go to Kiti while other vessels ivere; he saitl there was a spe'eial prohibition from the governorgeneral at Manila against our mission vessels until affairs between Spain and the United States Aveie settled. Sailed from Ponape on the 18th for Ngatic; left there on the 21st for Ruk. Avhere Aye anchored the 25th and remained until the 28th; landed Miss Kinney and supplies; up to this time the ship had to be pumped out every watch to keep the fireroom bee from water. Sailed from Ruk direct for I'ingelap with Mr. Rand; were standing off and on at Pingelap from August 9th till t'« p.m. of the I Ith; then sailed for Mokil the next day; landed Mr. Rand and his supplies and sailed for Kusaie. August 14th, during bad weather, we toie a jib, tAvo staysails and an upper topsail; arrived at Kusaie on the 18th: took in water and sailed on the 24th for the Marshall Islands with Dr. Pease and family, Miss Hoppin and the Marshall Islands schools, in all S% souls on board —bylaAv I am allowed to carry 29 August 26th, lightning passengers. — FRIEND. 31 struck the foretopgallant mast and chip water, also took in about 8 tons rock ped out a three-sided piece about ten ballast. Sailed 20th tor Mokil with Dr. inches long by one-half inch in thickness, doing no other damage, Reached Jaluit September 2d, and remained until the 6th; Aye called at all the Marshall group; at Ebon tAvice and at Jaluit three times, and got back to Kusaie Oct. 24th, one day over time. At Jaluit purchased 15 tons Australian coal at 50 marks a ton, $12.50; at Kusaie spent 8 days fitting for the Gilbert Islands trip, and sailed Nov. 2d; bad much bad, squally Aveather, and Avere Iti days on the passage to Butaritari, a distance of 600 miles; did not find Mr. Walkup theie as 1 had expected, but found a letter asking me to Avait for him. Nov. 23, took opportunity to send mail yin Sydney; Mr. Walkup arrived the 20th, and we sailed the -.'Bth to take missionaries to the General Meeting, having been in days at Butaritari; Aye could not stem the current south of Butaritari, so hail to go north about 150 miles to work east in order to reach Marokei, which is 75 miles south-east bom Butaritari, anil were 7 days doing it. Reached Tapiteuea Dec. 1 Ith with people on board for the General Meeting; the meeting lasted 8 days; we then went up through the group again, landislands and ing the people on their leaving Mr. Walkup al Butaritari: Aye sailed Jan. 2d. 1894, for Kusaie; from this group 1 took Rev. Lonoand family, Rev. Kanoho and daughter and Rev. Maka and two boys for Honolulu; also took foili native passengers-Mrs. Kanoho and Mrs. Maka have recently died. The British Deputy Commissioner for this ••roup, arrived at Butaritari Dec. 7th, to locate there temporarily. He pro poses to make Apemama his headquarters in B few months time. It seems as the one of the first things for a foreign nation to do after taking up one of these gr >ups of islands is to in some way hinder missionary work. I'he new IaAV in r.-gard to trading seems as fair for us .is for the trailers. Every one trading on ship'or shore has to pay a license of six pounds ($30.00) per year for each and every island he trades at. 1 explained .mi case and wants to the Commissioner hut he could make no distinction between us and the traders. Therefoie, 1 can no longer sell to HaAvaiian missionaries nor to the native teachers without paying for a license more tb in the trade Avould amount to. The Hawaiians must order all their goods from abroad in what the Commissioner calls "irregularly made out orders," or get them from the tradeis at enormous prices. Mr Walkup can perhaps overcome that difficulty among his teachers by paying them their salary in trade goods. Arrived at Kusaie Jan. 7th and remained until the 20th Avaiting for Dr. Pease to get ready for the homeward trip. Meantime filled up tanks with Pease and family and Mrs. Eorbes and daughter as passengers for Honolulu. At Mokil, Jan. 23, avc found Mr. and Mrs. Rand ready to go home, and Miss Eoss to go to Ruk, so took all on board and sailed for Ponape. There I was immediately boardtd by an officer from a Spanish warship. He ordered that no communication should be had with shore in any way; when a canoe ap preached the Stair a man-of-war boat ordered it aAvay. An officer took me ashore in a steam launch to see the Goveinor. I'he Governor first asked it I had received any communication from my government regarding Ponape affairs, I said no. He then said that the American and Spanish Governments had not agreed upon a settlement of affairs, and that his government had sent orders prohibiting our mission vessel from communicating with that island until a settlement Avas made. I Avas the only one who landed, and an officer escorted me to and from the Government house. Mr. Rand Avished very much to sfieak with Henry Nanape, but was not allowed either by word or letter. Mr. Kand Avas very anxious to see some of his people before leaving for home, so at his request I ran down to Ngatic '.HI miles, Avhere he spent six hours on shore. Then Aye sailed on the 25th for Ruk. Anchored at Ruk on the '27th. Mrs. Logan ivas ready to go home, and took passage with us. Miss Eoss went ashore, and remained to assist in the Girls' school. As the schooner Robert Logon had not arrived trom Japan, Mr. Snelling was anxious for me to visit the Mortlocks and other islands at the west of Ruk with the Star. Considering the number of passengers on my hands, and the dangerous naA'igation to the Avest of Ruk among isl anils .and shoals Avhere I have not been, I did not feel justified in going, so refused his request. I think I could have made the trip safely, yet, I did not like to undertake it ivithout any authority when there was so little at stake on his side and so much on mine. I think he can hire one of the small trading schooners reasonably for his work, and advised him to do so. Sailed for Honolulu Eeb. Ist. The schooner Robert Logan had not been heard from at that date. Arrived in Honolulu March 22d afrer a passage of 50 days, the longest the ship has ever made from the islands. By the loss of our topgallant mast we ivere deprived of the use of two sails for over a week. We were also delayed some by sickness of engineer and fireman. I omitted to state that I gave free passage to one man from Kusaie to Honolulu. The ship is in general good condition, and I hope will soon be ready for another voyage. Respectfully yours, Geo. F. Garland. �NIK FRIEND. 32 RukMission. In a brief interview with Mrs. Logan the folloAving facts Avere gleaned additional to those stilted by her before the Woman's Board. There are about 5.0(10 inhabitants in the island on which Anapauo Station is located. It is about 15 miles in circuit. There is scarcely any level ground. Cocoanuts and tfsh constitute a large part of the people's food. For tAvo years past they have relapsed into their heathen habit of warfare. Very feAv deaths have resulted, but there is constant insecurity and disorder. Mr. Snelling with the Robert Logan had paid tAvo visits to coral islands 15(1 miles west, named Unan, Paloat, and Sauk, where he had located three native teachers trained in Ruk. His second visit was made about one year ago, just before the schooner was sent to Japan tor repairs. She sailed on her return last September, and has never been heard from —is probably lost. The Ruk Mission field is a large one, embracing many populous islets whose people speak the same language Avith variations. It is a field of great promise, if properly manned with missionaries, and a vessel like the Logan for necea sary visits to the outlying stations. It should be promptly occupied in foice, before the Spanish masters occupy it in their own peculiar methods. Refused a Crown. | April. 1894.

When he went down to enter upon to take the place .Xaiii,,,t, has been stationed here which missionary labors in the Marshall Is. in 1877, they called at the island of Butaritari the Noitherniost of the Gilbert Is. The king of that island Avas lying sick, and the Doctor was sent for to visit him. The messengei. however, first conducted him into a council of the old men. They told him that their king Avas evidently dying, and that they wanted Dr. Pease to become their king. The Doctor is a man of large si/t- and statue, corresponding to their ideas of royalty. They Would fust make him a chief, and after the king's decease, they would elect him their sovereign. Dr. Pease explained to them that he was engaged and under obligation to go to Ebon, and labor there. They thought he distrusted theii ability to support him, and made many proini ses of food and other advantages. All these failing to move the Doctor from his purpose, they drew a picture of a women, and promised him many wives, eliciting from him more peremptory declaration of bis duty and intention to carry the light to the Marshall [slanders, This was ten years after Mr. Bingham had begun pioneei work on Apaiang, one hundred miles south. Butaritari is noiv the most enlightened of the group, and the seat ofthe British authority. several months. Her arrival tends to increase the political excitement existing among our 22,000 Japanese. A large proportion of these are contract laborers on the sugar plantations. They are particulaily excited in consequence of a demand by the Japanese government that its subjects have the same privileges of suffrage in Hawaii that are accorded to citi/ens of oth. r countries. It is not probable that any qualifications adopted for voters here Avoulil include many of the Japanese residents./ Return of Prof. Alexander. Bell Telephone 349. Mr. Rand's Work.

X Pw XV Ml I. as EpiCbschoaouasryciU f nion. we apply the Known by its piactical lest "the fruit," we arrive at the Episcopate which, to part of the Protestant world, are ental and conclusive. Those :s of the Church which have held scopate, as they claim, fr.*m the ng, have tended steadily in thill of an ecclesiastical instead of a 1 type of religious life. Under the of the Episcopate to day, we find the most splendid ;im\ costly church edifices, copied closely after the gnat heathen temples. We find the worship of images that can scarcely be distinguished from the heathen w irship of idols, the worship of saints, but one dc gree removed from the worship ol demi gods ar.d ancestors. We find long. t-laborate rituals, attended with gorgeous spectacular ceremonies. The service, conducted in an unknown tongue, leaves the understanding barren, while every most subtle and impressive appeal is made to the senses. The same tendency to sacredotalism. with all that it im plies, is readily developing in the Episcopal denomination, both in England and in this country. Such ritualistic practices as are now common in all our cities, would have been regarded with horror twenty-five years ago. No nat oral limit to this tendency is yet in sight.
