The joyous manifestations that pervaded Honolulu upon the arrival of the ('optic with the news of the final passage, in the Senate, of the Newland's resolution for the annex* ation of Hawaii was but the natural outburst of relief from the long anxious strain that had been upon the community for years past, but more particularly since the overtures of the Provisional Government by its special Commissioners, in 1893, for this •"closer bond." Ami this same jubilant feeling has shown itself in various parts of the other islands by flagraising festivities, etc. in advance of the formal act at the metropolis, which yet awaits the arrival of Admiral Miller with official dispatches, by the Philadelphia, due now in a tew days. That a grand celebration is in store for the eventful day goes without saying, but of its details, much depends upon what plans the Admiral may have in connection with the act of transfer and taking possession on behalf of the United States. In this connection it is pleasing to learn of the many congratulatory letters that have been received from across thesea. private and otherwise, at the successful ending of the long struggle, and the cordial welcome with which Hawaii is greeted as she comes into Columbia's fold, and under shelter of the Star Spangled Banner. This War a Needed Preparation. The signs of the times very strongly point to an approaching period of conflict, when the (Treat Powers ol Europe are likely to become interlocked in desperate strife. It is very improbable that the United States will be able to avoid participation in such a war, as they have done in the past. 'I'he reason is this: The chief existing causes of disagreement be in the relations of those Powers to China, and their commerce with that country. In this subject America also is very deeply interested. She is in fact in closer propinquity to China than any European Power, except Russia, and is likely soon to have a larger commerce with China than any other Power except England. From the coming struggle over China it would therefore seem impossible for America to hold aloof. But lor this comparatively small Spanish War. that great approaching crisis would have found America totally unprepared. Divine Providence seems in kindness to have led the nation into a preparatory experience in a war with a weak Power, by means ot which considerable ill inies ot young and able men are receiving an effective military education in active Campaigning. These large bodies ol young veterans will thus be qualified to train and lead a million more of their country men to die coming wars without delay. At the same time an immense impetus has been given to the previously neglected wink ot arming the nation. An abundant provision will now he made of the most modem rifles and ammunition; also of rapid tiie and machine guns lor the Artillery. The navy also will he greatly increased, and its efficiency still more perfected. The CoasTTrrrrcnses will he made complete. Great plants will be created for the building of armored ships, and the manufacture of heavy guns; Hereafter, in consequence of the present war, the prospect is becoming assured that the United States cannot he taken by surprise in a great military 61 HONOLULU. H 1.. AUGUST, 1898. Volume 56. crisis. They will be splendidly ready with great armies fully equipped, as well as mighty fleets at sea. War is a fearful evil, and to be avoided as long as consistent with duty and honor. The best way to avoid it is to be wellarmed and prepared lor it. The United States so prepared, may not improbably hecome the means of preventing the dreaded war. or at least ot making it short and decisive on the right side. The war-cloud hangs dark and sulphurous over the opening twentieth century. God seems to be guiding our American Nation towards a heroic participation in the struggle. New U. S. Military Hospital.

The building has been moved farther from the street, and raised higher from the ground. The sight is cheerful, shady, and breezy, if perhaps not as high as desirable. It is, however, a temporary arrangement. This urgent necessitj for a Hospital on the line of communication is only another of the many illustrations how absolutely needful these Islands are lo the United States. What a site, by the way.

Promise of Valuable Hawaiian Books. The trustees of tlu Bishop Museum accept Dr. N, H.

This long lost contribution t» Hawaii an literature will shortly be published by the trustees, as also Prof. Brighain's monograph on the "Feathei Work of Early Hawaiians,'' with copious illus trations from photographs of choicest specimens in various parts of the world, including one from Cjueen Victoria's collection, specially for this work. It is also learned that Dr. Emerson contemplates the elaboration ol his valuable Historical Society paper on the "Ancient Canoe Voyages ol the Pacific, ' the result of Ins further researches in this interesting stud)-. The Summer School for Teachers. Mr. Townsend and the Board of lulucation are to be congratulated on the outcome of this Summer's School for teachers. The contact for three weeks with such educators as Col. and Mis. Parker, and Miss Allen, must have a quickening, refreshing, and strengthening effect upon the teacher, who alone, often wear) and discouraged, has for long months been earnestly, and with perhaps but little conscious sympathy, seeking to arouse some dormant soul, to awaken some sleeping intellect.

Present Condition of Religious Life animates the life of Address by Rev. H. H. Parker, at Cen tral Union Church, July ij, a few Hawaiians upon their fellow christians.

If the course "why the younger people of my race are of events should show that they are so indifferent to the calls of the better passing, as it were, though a new birth life, and the privileges that surround into a new and a larger life may they them."

These types of the religious life of the I know of a native c >rriage driverwho earlier native christians are beautiful, carries his English novels with him and and it were easy enough to enumerate while waiting for his fare he reads his many more such.

Said Among the Hawaiians r8t)8. I have been asked to talk to yon about the religious condition of the Hawaiians, or rather about the religious life of the Hawaiians. The Hawaiians and Hawaii nei have been so much talked about for the last five or six years that I fear that I shall not say any thing new or interesting. The Hawaiians seem to be under a cloutl just at the present time. If the cloud should prove to be like that pillar of cloud which led the Hebrew children, if God's light should strike upon it, the Hawaiians may .yet discern in it the signs of promise. There are those who feel that the best thing to do with the native Hawaiian is to let him alone. They say he has had his day and opportunity; that he has had his full share of attention; that all has been done for him that it is possible to do for any people, and henceforth he must work out his own problems. And there are others, I am sorry to say it, who claim that the Hawaiian is not worth saving. They say the whole body is corrupt; there is no religion in the church and no moral life in the heart. Those of us who have labored with them and lived with them will take emphatic exceptions to these statements. There is a great deal of natural religious feeling in the people. They are natur ally religious if not reverent. The ancient and ihe modern Hawaiian, both from a religious and social point of view, appear like very different characters. The lapse of only two score years has wrought great changes in the reli gious life of this people. Vice, it is true, is more prevalent now than forty years ago, and of course makes its impression on the religious conditions of the present time; but vice is by nomeans confined to the Hawaiians, and its more hideous forms are not to be found among the natives. Much of the vice that prevails in the community may be laid at the door of the public sentiment of the community. Public opinion is a tremendous power, and when it says of any evil thing, "let it alone" the public lets it alone. And all that vice asks is to be left to itself to grow and spread on its own corruption. The faith of those early christians who witnessed the great religious revolution that so quickly followed the introduction of civilization to these Islands was simple as a little child's love; it was a quiet but living spiritual fervor, and firm as the rock. And that type of christian faith [August, 1898. not �Vol. 56, No. B.] is by association in religious work. A common interest begets unity of action and unity gives strength. The Hawaiian should not be isolated in religious work. He should have the sympathy and love and tender consideration of the Anglo of his Anglo Saxon Saxon, christian brother. I submit that there is no power in jeweled crown or scepter (ike that in the simple quality of mercy between man and man. One of the sweetest words in our language is home. It designates the place where childhood's happy days are spent; where influences are started and affections cemented that nut-last earth's fleeting day and yield their best fruits on the other side of life "Be it ever so humble, There's no place like home." That vital breath that comes from the sweet, clean home-life ; that "pono" which is something more than four letters; that thing which the Pilgrim Fathers sought when they "moored their bark on the wild New England shore" is the thing we need. "They sought a father's pure shrine, And they have lift unstained What there they found." That "father's pure shrine" in the Hawaiian homes is the thing we need to save us from the perils that are impending and to give character and strength to our religious life in these islands. Virtue in the home is worth more than all the plantations on all the islands. That community is not far from social destruction which shuts its eyes to the moral conditions that surround the homes of its youth, and cries peace, peace, when there is no peace. There ts another factor that bears on the Hawaiian social or religious life, and it is one that has had its due weight in the make up of his present condition. With out doubt it will have an important part in determining what his future is to be. Behind every human force, for good or tor evil, there is the life uf woman. Behind Isaac was Rebecca; behind Ahab and his evil reign was Jezebel, the Cath erine dc Medicis of the .icbrew nation. Behind Herod's blood-stained hand was Herodias, and back of Pontius Pilate was Claudia; and if Claudia had prevail ed in her plea with Pilate, she might have saved him Irwin ihc infamy that covers his name. To come down to our own time, and to the history of these little Islands which we love. Behind the simple faith of the primitive native church were the examples of Kaahumanu and Kapiolani and their associates. Back of the Oahu dllege was the thought of the mothers of the early civi lization of these Islands; and behind yonder hospital is the name of CJueen Emma. Behind the Lunalilo Home is Kekauluohi, the mother of Lunalilo, and back of those splendid equipments for education out there at Kalihi is the name of Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Every woman however humble or exalted her walk in life has her influence and performs her part, whether conscious of it or not, in the making of character. Back of the Hawaiians as we find them today is the Hawaiian woman I don't mean the individual personalities we meet, but the average woman that represents the womanhood of the race. We conclude then that the Hawaiiins future social condition and religious life, in all likelihood, will be what the woman of the present time make it. % May God bless the native church in these Islands and send her help; for when she fails to fulfil her mission and ceases to be fruitful, (which heaven for bid) her candle will go out, and when the light of religion passes away from a people what shall the end be ? We are living in a day full of signs. We walk in a way beset with difficulties, and know not at times whither we should turn, or in what direction we should go to find prosperity. Let me say steer straight for the Light of the World which is the heart of Jesus Christ. — Dr. Lyman Abbott has recently published some expressions respecting the Divine Immanence in all things, which have led to an alarm being sounded that he has come out as a Pantheist. While it may possibly be true that Pantheism would be a logical deduction from Dr. Abbott's expressions, yet he is no pantheist, but a most devout and prayerful believer in the Personal God, Our own opinions are much opposed to some of Dr. Abbott's theological views; but we rejoice to own him as faithful to the essentials of Christianity.

The war between the United States and Spain has ceased and peace prevails. The cost to both nations has been very great, and the honor of each is satistied thou<rh in a .widely different way. America entered the arena for a principle in behalf of humanity and the world at lartre is the trainer through her victories. Spain's honoris vindicated only in that she made strenuous effort to retain her possessions. Spanish national pride could not accept the dictation of a power—she apparently held in contempt—upon a question of her colonial policy, till she found she could not maintain it with all the resources and defensse she could brinrr to bear. Only in this brave effort is it to be conceded her honor is satisfied, for she retires from the conflict having lost her best ships and stripped of her most valued colonies. America on the other hand coems forth, as it were, more than conqueror. As a defender of principles upon which she came into existence as a nation she has maintained her position well. The ready response of her sons in the call "to arms," and for the "sinews of war," is a sure indication of ability to meet exigencies. As a fighting power she has advanced many points in the 69 The Friend.

The strictly official ceremonies thus carried out also commends itself in that no offense was given, nor could any be taken by opposing Hawaiians. The reference to the "native sons of Hawaii" in the invocation offered by Rev. Mr. Pearson, as also that in Minister Sewall's speech to those "whose father's land this was," was kind, appropriate and uplifting. The salutes of parting and of welcome, as the flags exchanged places, or the display of fireworks in the evening, was not the rejoicing over a vanquished race, but a welcoming in to the larger fold and sisterhood of States. Disappointed Septmbr, 1898. THE FRIEND 70 New Comers. Cjuite a number of passengers arrivtd by the steamers of last month expecting to find opportunities numerous, now that annexation had been accomplished, to "get in ofi the ground floor and grow up with the country," as the saying is. Few, if any, had any knowledge of the islands, their possibilities, conditions, or requirements—further than their landing was conditional upon possessing $50, The general idea that it was a new country —as doubtless it was to them was sufficient excuse for American rest lessness to "move west." The finding of Honolulu to be no new town but a well built and orderly city, with all avenues of trade well represented and fully occupied; the government lands adjacent to town not available for selectors and none at all at first hand for speculators was a serious surprise. The idea of a limitation to the saloon busi ness, or the necessity of a license to trade under was deemed an unjust imposition that would soon be a thing of the past when "Uncle Sam. took charge. It is to be expected that an influx of people will follow annexation. The Islands have been so extensively adver tised before the people of the United States, since the time of our overtures for "closer union," that it must follow as a natural matter of course, but it is unfortunate for all concerned when intending settlers will not post themselves upon the conditions of things here before emigrating. While the posst bilities of the Hawaiian Islands doubtless has much yet to be developed, it is a field that calls for capital and brains, not muscle or wits alone. Persons coming here should have sufficient means to turn themselves with while looking over the field and waiting for opportunities. Hawaii is no different in this respect than many other places, unless it be that having no bridge across the pond one — cannot walk away when he pleases if the right thing don't turn up at the right time. Mr. J. F. Brown, agent of public lands, set forth in the Advertiser of August 27th, a statement respecting government lands, etc., in which it was shown that it would be some months yet before new sections could be opened up, from the necessity of surveys and the construction of new roads to them. L.inds contiguous lo existing roads were taken up. It is learned that some of the fraternal bodies are sending forth cautionary advices. Stock Exchange. Following the business methods ol older and larger commercial centers Honolulu is to have its Stock Exchange and Board of Brokers, for the alleged belter protection of all*parties interested in the buying and selling of stocks and bonds, of which there has been consider able activity for some months past, with a steadily improving market on a large list of the leading corporations, mostly plantation. This fact and the floating of several new concerns have naturally centered public interest in the subject, and the movement has been aided by the pres. ence of one familiar with Stock Boards at San Francisco. It is significant too that enquiry is being made at this time upon the status of Hawaiian stocks and securities for the benefit of Eastern Brokers. While there is doubtless much of a speculative character in stock transactions there is also its investment opportunities to be considered, and any intelligent lUting of values by experts, which comes within the scope of an exchange, does the public a service. The known character of the officers of the organiza turn is an assurance of honest dealing, dispite the fears held by some that it will eventually drift into speculative buying on margins. Any attempt at irregularities, "watering" stock, or other shady transactions should find speedy exposition at the hands of the Exchange, to insure it long life, prosperity and enjoyment of public confidence. Exceedingly high tides have been noticeable along the western shore of Another Big Sugar Estate. The untiring manager of the Oahu Kriilway and Land Co., Mr. Benjamin F. Dillingham, is erecting another monument to his enterprise in the cons ilidalion of plantation and grazing interests in the extensive and fertile lands of Waialua, Oahu, for the establishment of a still larger sugar plantation than the Ewa, or 0 ihu concerns, as it will embrace the Halstead plantation, the Sylva and Kawailoa ranches, the Gay and other lands whereby some gO,UQO acres can be devoted to cane. The concern will incorporate at $3,fiUo,-(100 and h large portion of the slock is already subscribed lor. Flowing water is available for a large part of the lands and a. number of artesian wells are already sunk on other portions, now largely devoted to rice culture. Castle & Cooke are named as the agents, and it is hoped to secure W. J. Lowrie of the Ewa Plantation as its manager. Fall of Manila. The day following signing the protocol at Washington the attack on Manila was made and forced it to capitulate, fortu- nately, with but small loss of life. The seaward fortifications were engaged by Admiral Dewey's ships on the morning of August 13th. Half an hour later Genl. Greene advanced with the Colorado's on the left of the city and within an hour the first Spanish colors in the trenches fell. Genl. McArthur with the Second Brigade met more resistance on the right. Genl. Anderson pressed on Malate from the South as the Spanish were driven out by the shells from the ships, and the file of the IKth. Infantry and Utah Artillery, and which was finally carried by the Colorado's and California's. By noon the white flag was hoisted and by four p. m. the surrender to Genl. Merrit was complete and he took possession of the city. The Americans had nine killed and forty wounded, while the Spanish loss is estimated at 120 killed and 600 wounded. The Honolulu Rapid Transit and Land Co., Ltd., is shaping itself for business, having accepted its charter as amended to meet the views of the cabinet, and elected the following officers to serve during the ensuing year: L. A. Thurston, president; J. B. Castle, vice-president; J. A. Gilman, secretary; J. H. Fisher, treasurer; J. A. Kennedy, auditor. Mr. C. G. Ballentyne has been selected as its manager.

Astoria, Oregon, Aug. 6, IH9t*. After being two weeks on the way from Honolulu, my wife and self are quietly lodged at the home of our son, Dr. J. S. Bishop, in this pi cc. Astoria is a town of some MOt people, near the mouth of this vast Columbia river. It lies along a steep hill side, which comes down to the water's edge. The main street, next to the hill side is mostly built over the water on piles, as also are two or three parallel streets below it. A rather amphibious town. There are many fine residences along the very steep streets running up the hill side to heights of 200 to ''00 feet. These are said to be fine views over the summit of the ridge, looking into Young's River Valley. Going along Commercial, which is the principal business street, the buildings are mainly of wood, but there are a large number or good brick or stone stores, built upon piled foundations, with the strong current of the river running around them. A line of electric cars traverses this street, laid upon heavy planking over the water. This building where I write, at this moment quivers or sways with the tremor of a passing car. Small vacant lots are pointed out on each side of the streets, valued at $5000 each, in which one sees only open water six or eight feet below. The hillside above would furnish abundant material for filling out these spaces; but they await the building of a seawall herealter. The remains of the ancie it forest of cedars and firs are still on the hillside, some doubtless of the same trees which Peter Corney saw when he camped on this shore more than eighty years ago among the Clatsop Indians. Astoria has little or no commerce, notwithstanding its location near the mouth of this great river which drains imperial provinces. All the marine commerce centers at Portland, 110 miles above, where the railways terminate. Only in May last, an excellent track was opened to Astoria along the south bank of the river, connecting with the main system at Goble, where the cars from Portland are ferried across the Columbia to Kalama, to run to Tacoma, Seattle and Vancouver. This new line gives promise of bringing at least a portion of the great wheat traffic to the mouth of .the river. This railway, however, extends a few miles farther down the bank, to an ex tensive tract of level land, just at the head of the great breakwater, where are now the villages of Flavel and Warrenton. The R. R. company have there erected extensive wharves and warehouses.

God's word, as the decades go on, will more and more be studied and obeyed; His Sabbaths be honored, and His worship bccherished. Christian morality will be increasingly cultivated. The generations will grow into generally higher and purer social and civil life. Oregon is plainly destined to become a powerful Christian State, and a great light of Christian civilization on these eastern shores of the Pacific. Our beloved Hawaii stands in the forefront of that redeeming civilization, which shall help to uplift the vast Mongolian races out of their spiritual darkness. It is a great thing that we shall have an imperial Power like Oregon behind to support us. I had the great satisfaction this week of a days intercourse, in the fine city of Portland, with our honored brother Rev. A. N. Fisher, whom we all learned to love during his two years residence in Honolulu a while ago. He desired loving remembrance to the good people of Honolulu. S. E. Bishop. More Steam Lines. It is already seen that steam lines are to rapidly increase in the Pacific, and travel to and fro designates Hawaii nei as the power ofattraction. An Eastern corporation to maintain a line of four first-class steamers, Honolulu and Manila figuring as objective points in their route, is said to have placed their order with the Cramps for special boats for the service. A Seattle line is inaugurated, with several chartered steamers, the first of which will be due shortly, touching first at Hilo. The islands have suffered much in convenience during the withdrawal of the Australia from her regular monthly trips to and from San Francisco, and stands ready to welcome her to the service she resumes this month. The improvement of Union Street by the change from the rather sharp angle at the Monsarrat premises to a graceful bend and widened more particularly at this section from properties sacrificed on both sides of the street is quite marked, and it has removed from the city what was perhaps its most dangerous tho roughfare. Oahu College will begin its fall term this month, opening on the 6th. Its faculty, and the special lines of study to which each will be devoted, given on the front page, gives evidence of its progressive and thorough educational provision for the young people of these islands.

After reading ihe proclamation Mr Sewall turned to the people and said: "Fellow countrymen: I congratulate you on the consummation this day records, a consummation not a change, the inevitable consummation of the national policies and the natural relations between the two countries now formally and indissolubly united. "Inevitable as has been this union, we may rejoice that it will take its place in history with the awakening ol the American people to a sense ot their responsibilities among nations, in that splendid process of events begun at Manila and which has now embraced these Islands in its broad sweep. "You are no strangers to your coun trymen across the sea. hound to them as you are by the achievements of their sons and brothers here, and by all tinactivities that make up a country's life. You are no strangers, certainly not in the momentous present. For as itcomes to every nation in the dread ordeal of war to test the loyalty of all its sons and the devotion of all its friends so they have tested you, tried you and found you true —when you refused to listen to the suggestions of the selfish and timid, and at your peril, offered up all that these Islands had to offer, as a sacrifice on the altar of devotion to a country you had not yet the right to call yom own. "And your countrymen can never forget that this loyalty and devotion and the opening of hearts and house to our soldier boys that followed this, was the loyalty, the devotion and the hospitality of Americans, though this were sweet indeed, but of men who sought to be Americans and had been denied, of men who founded a state for the purpose of admission to the American Union and had been denied, of men who presented this strange spectacle to the world that they stood ready, as you gentlemen about me today, to give up office, and power and personal emoluments and glory, for the simple dignity of American citizenship. Even as you have given up a flag you love, and surrendered the sovereignty of these beautiful Islands, that Hawaii may take her place, however humble that place may be, in the protecting ciicle ol sovereign American States. "This is the consummation you wit- THE FRIEND 73 ness today, which you and your child ren's children will have the right to celebrate, and let there be no mistake as to its meaning. It means the triumph of no party or faction among you, the opportunity for no personal glorification or personal resentment, the confirmation m power of no authority over you that shall not commend itself to the sense of fairness and of justice of the representatives of the American people, but rather the burial of past prejudices, the obliteration ot narrow divisions and the ultimate political advancement of the hum blest citizen over whom this flag shall float. "But it is not for you to rest content in the enjoyment of free institutions. It is for you to help maintain them, to maintain them in the spirit they will be extended to you, in the spirit you have sought them, in the spirit of fraternity and equality, in the spirit of the Constitution itself now the supreme law of your land, to establish justice, to ensure your tranquility, to piovide for the common defense, to promote your welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty to yourselves and your posterity. "This is the work before you my countrymen and I bid you advance to it. Hand in hand may you go, you of the home race with those whose father's land this was, and whose generous virtues have won lor thtm the regard of all mankind. Hand in hand may you go with them as they carry with them their unfaltering love of country into the broad plane of American citizenship. "Advance to the uplifting and up building of this land to prove it worthy to share the Destiny of the Great Re public. "Empire may wait indeed, but no hand save his who holds in the holiow of his hand the fate of Nations can stay that destiny: "God bless you my countrymen ! "(rod bless the United States ot Am erica !" The oath of allegiance to the United States was then administered by Chief Justice Judd to President Dole as "Pies ident of the Republic of Hawaii, now a territory of the United States" and to Minister Cooper, Smith, Damon and King and the ceremonies of the daywere over. Additional to the large enterprise on Molokai established a few months since, the recently formed Honolulu Sugar Co., to prove the productiveness of the tract beyond MoanaluH, and the projected extension of the Waialua plantation referred to elsewhere—there is a new plantation being established at Nahiku, Maui, and the long comtemplated Lanai Sugar Co. has become an incorporated fact. A new tract ot land on Kauai is also spoken of as likely to be laid under tribute m the near future. — Lopevi again an Active Volcano. Tungo i.on the island of Ambrym, of the New Hebrides group of islands, was the scene of a terrifying natural phenomenon in July last. The British gunboat Mildura has made report of an eruption of the volcano of Lopevi and of the destruction wrought by heavy earthquakes and terrific downpours of rain, such as in the knowledge of natives and white men on the islands had never before been equalled. The inhabitants of not only Ambrym, but all of the New Hebrides group, were panic-stricken. The islands shook to their foundations and many thought they would sink into the -iea. Ihe seismic disturbance was prefaced by a southeast gale, which gradually developed into a hurricane. Houses were blown down and nearly all of the lighters on the beach wrecked by high surf. Rain fell in torrents. Suddenly the sky darkened It grew blacker at every moment until about 2 o'clock p. m., when it was so dark on Ambrym that people could not see their way about except when the lightning flashed, as it did every few seconds. Natives huddled together in their huts and the traders and settlers took to cover. The earth commenced to tremble, slighly at first, but with rapidly increasing pulsations, until timbers of the light frame dwellings creaked, split and parted. The motions were in waves, then would change to upheavals, as if the earth was being forced upwards by steady blows from a terrible force below the surface. Gradually the earthquakes grew less severe. Volcanic sand and ashes com menced to fall and fearful noises were heard from the direction of Lopevi. At the end of about ten hours ashes covered the island to the depth of several inches and no sooner had they ceased falling than ram set it. Seven inches fell in twenty-four hours and for three days it rained at intervals of six hours, and the downpour was like a cloudburst. It was discovered that Lopevi was in active operation, having burst up through its crater after hundreds of years of inactivity. The mountain is 5000 feet high, and burning lava was streaming down its sides when the Mildura, which subsequently reported at the island, left for Sydney. The New York Regiment, assigned, temporarily, for garrison duty at hono lulu, have established themselves in camp at Kapiolani park. The additional troops originally designed for Manila, which arrived by the fine large steamships Arizona and Scundia. have received instructions to disembark at this point and wait further orders. The vessels proceed on to Manila. �Septmbr, 1898. THE FRIEND. 74 RECORD OF EVENTS. Aug 2nd.—Ex (jueen] Liliuokalani returns by the Gaelic from her lengthen ed stay abroad.

According to instructions, Kekela was looking for a vessel, which he might charter for bringing his family to Honolulu.

News has come to us of the breaking of war in Ponape and of the imprisonment of Henry Nanpei by the Spaniards. At the time the information came, he had been a prisoner at Colonia, the Spanish garrison, for a month. No reason is given for the high-handed act excepting that Mr. Nanpei is a Protestant, and will not abjure his faith for that of the Roman Catholic church, and that, as a Protestant, he exerts his influence towards the maintenance of the Protestant schools and churches established so long ago by the American missionaries before their expulsion from the island in IS.iO. Mr. Nanpei has been acting in a dual apacity. As the accredited agent of the A. B. C. F. M., he has had the charge of the mission work on the island. He came naturally in the position, for he was for years associated with Rev. Mr. )oane in the care of the Theological and Normal training school on the sland; on the removal ot Mr. Doane and the expulsion of the other missionaries, Mr. Nanpei continued to be a eligious leader to the people. The Spaniards at the same time, seeing that he was a man of influence, secured his services to help keep the peace during the troublous times of the establishment of their power on the island; while endeavoring to stop the fighting which lately broke out between the Catholics and the Protestants on the little island of Maute, and extended to other parts of the group, he was invited on board the Spanish gunboat and made a prisoner. 75 It it the old story of the dominating power of the Roman Catholic church in Spain, and the arbitrary use of temporal power to exclude other religious orders. This late attempt to put down the Protestant party in Ponape and abolish their worships, was begun before the fall of Manila. The Roman Catholicadherents were incited to threaten and finally attack the Protestants. But before they had achieved their purpose the triumph of the American arms in the Philippine and Ladrone Islands at Manila and at Guam—caused a change in the dreams of the Ponapean garrison. They hastened to hide their treasure even to the emptying of their ships. The channel buoys were destroyed; a canal was dug into the mangrove thickets that reach out into the water. through which the ships were drawn towards the shore. A great hole was dug in the earth as a hiding place for the garrison, into which it might escape from the American marines, who were imminently expected. Here our infor mation ends. We intend to publish a fuller statement of the facts in our next issue. — The Carolines. out In the press dispatches outlining the down by the President as a basis for peace negotiations, no mention has been made of the Caroline islands, though the cession of an island in the Ladrone group is required. This omis sion seems to require explanation. It was announced weeks ago that the Monterey, on her voyage to Manila, was expected to take possession of the Caro lines, from one of which, Ponape, our missionaries, in I**9, after occupation for forty years, were expelled by the Spaniards and their flourishing work broken up. At the date when the President's terms were announced no information had been received as to what the Monterey had done, and possibly this may account for his silence on a point of peculiar and vital interest to many Americans. We prefer to take this view of the matter for the present. But the point must not be lost aight of in the multitude of other pressing considers tions. If there is a spot of earth outside of the long recognized dominions of either power to which this country has a right prior to that of Spain it is the soil that has been reclaimed from savage heathenism to Christianity by the lives and labors of the devoted men and women who in 1852 occupied the Carolines in the name of the American churches. A great wrong was done when they were driven out. Spain, after ong haggling, paid $ 17,500 for the terms laid destruction of their property at Ponape. But the wrong will not he repaired until they have full liberty to resume their work. Upon this w= believe the American people will strenuously insist. Certainly they should do so. The Outlook. Appeal to Business Men. The Goiul Bonk tells us that men are known by tht ir works. VVe doubt very much whether the hard labor of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association receives the proportional shaie of popular attention which it merits. The annual report just issued is a valuable and interesting document, but it is fair to presume that not more than eight out of ten of the business men of the country will give the report careful perusal. The year has shown progress in all departments, hut the necessity of the hour seems to be equipment to turn out a more advanctd native ministry. The Hawaiians are certainly making the best of what is placed at their disposal. With the progress of the country, the educational facilities should keep peace. In this connection the North Pacific M ssionary Institute demands the attention of the Gjd fearing business man as well as the philanthropist. The princip-tl of the Institute says: "In the present changeful condition of society at the Islands, industrially and politically, it is difficult to forecast the future. But whatever future conditions, it is certain that for the present, there is urgent need, not only of maintaining the Institute in its special work ol training a native ministry for the Hawaiian churches and mission fields, but above and beyond this, more adequate provision must be made for such advanced instruction and training as the new times demand. The entire abolition of vernacular schools, the rudimentary character of the public school instruction in Knglish, the conflicting interests of different sects and nationalities, demand in the Hawaiian ministry a fuller equipment for this service. Another associate in the work of the Institute writes: "It is evident that the school should be better equipped for its work. The crisis has already been reached. The work of the past year has suffered from defective classification of students and lack of teaching force. If no change is made, the loss next year will be even greater. The men who are now applying for admission are the choice young men of the country—graduates of Kamehameha and Lahainaluna schools. The natural effect of their coming will be to draw others from the same schools. To what extent this will be true, will depend much on what these first young men derive for themselves. If they can be effectively trained and inspired for a �noble life's service, the effect will be contagious and powerful. But if they find in the Institute an equipment infer ior to that of the schools which they have left, and fail to get the instruction for which they are* fitted, they cannot be expected to show much enthusiasm for it or to he anxious to bring others into it." While the business men of the street are not supposed to be active mission aries, the religious condition* among Hawaiians ougnt not to be loieign to their thoughts Theie are might" few men who fail to recogour* that God rules and who are without i kindly led ing toward those actively engaged in work especiall) advancing religious among Hawaiians. It would be fitting for them to make response to the educational necessity appeal from the workers in the field. -Evening Bulletin. Forthcoming Books. The wrangling in the Senate about Hawaii has at last ceased, with the an nexation Septmbr, 1898. THE FRIEND 76 ot the islands by the United States. Few persons have been more enthusiastically in favor of this consummation than Miss Mary H. Krout, whose long cherished hope of securing an appointment as special war correspondent from that island was finally realized when the Chicago Inter Ocean yielded its prejudices against employing a woman in that capacity and decided to avail ltsell of her sci vices. Miss Kraut's departure for Honolulu was delayed for some time on account of an accident which resulted in a setiously injured ankle. But her determination to accept the ottered posi tion was unshaken, and she set out upon her hazardous journey on crutches and in open defiance ot her physicians and friends. It was not however, until allci the outbreak of the revolution that she reached her destination. In the begin ning Miss Krout's sympathies were altogether with the natives and their queen, but a fuller knowledge of existing conditions resulted in a complete change of view, and she soon became a warm friend ol the Provisional Government and, later, an ardent advocate of annexation. Her book, Hawaii and a Revo lution, to be published in the early autumn by Messrs. Dodd, Mead and Company, is the outgiowth of several months' residence in the Sandwich Islands. While a considerable portion of the volume is devoted to a study ot the politics of the country, about which Miss Krout had unusual opportunities of obtaining information, it contains for the most part her personal experiences, descriptions ot the beautiful islands and their products, and brief sketches of the native and foreign residents and their mode of living. Notwithstanding that several books about Hawaii have been issued during the past few years when it Sixth—On the singing of the protocol has been so much in the minds of the hostilities will be suspended and notice people, the somewhat pecu.iar conditions to that effect will be given as soon as under which Hawaii and a Revolution possible by each government to the comwas written lend to it an especial interest, menders of its military and naval forces. and the book does not seem in any estentiil particular to have been tore Funnu Advertisements.

In view of the apparent certainty that the United States will assume the government of at least a part of the Philippines, it would seem that every reflecting Christian citizen of Hawaii must feel an added responsibility by reason of our comparative propinquity to that group, and the mutual influence hereafter to be exerted between Manila and Honolulu. The two cities will be the two central points of interest to the United States in this great western ocean of which America now sits as mistress. Hawaii's strategic relations will necessarily become more intimate than with any other port in the farther Pacific, because Manila will be in some measure an American port. So much is clear —that we are to be placed in relations of peculiar intimacy with one of the great seaports of the world hitherto closed to any relations with us. Manila is shortly to look to Honolulu as the nearest point at which she is to find contact with American civilization—American social conditions. These steamship lines, the busy shuttles of commerce plying back and forth across the Pacific, will carry to Manila the atmosphere, the savor of Honolulu society. The cable wire flashing hourly messages will constantly report Honolulu as the last important point of connection. It will then be of no small import to the moral and spiritual conditions of Manila how those conditions shall he found to exist in Honolulu. If our piety here is of the kind that is vital, and heaven soaring, if our Christian love is sweet and generous, if our social life is noble, upright, and beneficent, anil pure. if our business integrity is above reproach, Manila will be. keenly sensible of those facts, and will be moved upon by them towards her oTvn redemption. But if Hawaii grows debased, lewd, debauched, absorbed in greed and lucre, given to coarse and godless pleasureseeking, tolerant of vice, and disdainful of godliness —then American influence for good on Manila will be deeply impaired, because this American Lighthouse of Christianity in the Pacific has grown dim. Our brothers who go to the Philippines to assist in administering public affairs will be plunged at once into a fetid mire of social debasement. They will need to be invigorated by social influences high and pure from this nearest American point, else they will return this way with defiled characters, in their turn to debase us. Unless our Christian social purity is so maintained and elevated as to help Manila upwards, Manila will drag Honolulu down. We are now entering upon a period of new conditions and new influences. It behoves every Christian here to be a true soldier, and drill for the highest discipline, faithful in all things. How Hawaii shall hereafter be called upon to aid directly in evangelizing this new American dependency, will appear as Providence opens the future. to Manila, HOW TO INVEST OUR MONEY. It is announced that on the last day of September nearly £500,000 would be paid out in Honolulu as dividends to stockholders in various sugar and other corporations. It may reasonably be conjectured that such dividends during the past year have amounted to as much as four NUMBKK 10 millions of dollars. Probably twothirds of this has been surplus income to the recipients, which they reinvest. There are now several very promising new plantations being started, and other enterprises, inviting investments. Some ol these will probably turn out well. Others Every prudent person may not. will (five careful thought before putting his money into any of these undertakings/ We feel moved to call attention to a class of investments which moneyed people are too apt to overlook. We mean the placing of money where it will bring forth great profit in forwarding the Kingdom of Christ. As a living Christian, you, my Wealthy brother. Or sister, with twenty or a hundred thousand dol lars to place out, must feel that it is a glorious and blessed thing to help our beloved Lord and Captain in gaining fresh victories over the powers of evil and darkness. Many of you in Hawaii have already experienced the joy of giving somewhat freely of your substance. Is not the Lord now calling on you for more abundant help? These are great days, and critical days. Our Gospel and missionary work should be fortified and enlarged without stint. I low Congress last Spring lavished hundreds of millions for army and navy. And how grand the results. This year you have such abundant dividends as you never had before. Is it not in order that you may come forward joyfully and liberally supply the needs of the Redeemer's Kingdom on the Pacific, at this critical time? Let one very large and pressing need be named. You have probablyheard and understood that we have come to the point where we must have a large and liberal provision made for the education of preachers, pastors, and missionaries lor our various native and foreign populations. The call for educated workers among Hawaiians. Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese has entirely outgrown the small capacity ot our North Pacific Missionary Institute. The young men can be found, but there are no means for educating them. That Institution needs immediate enlargement. There should be at once two or three new and able instructors employed.

In espousing her interests, Mr. Davies was strictly in the line of hisduty. Lieut young most correctly speaks of the American Minister, John L. Steves*, as "an aged, frail man, in no condition to seek or endure the excitement of �80 political strife attendant upon the overthrow of the monarchy," also of "the cruelly unjust charges thatthe overthrow of the monarchy was the result of a scheme of the American Minister." Mr. Young on page 165, expresses the opinion that the Queen was under the influence of some intoxicant at the time of her attempted coup. This is not believed by witnesses who were closer to her at the time. We heartily commend this fascinating book. THE FRIEND. [October, 1898.

After a sojourn on Hawaiian shores the three Congressional members of the Commission for adjusting the relations of Hawaii to the General Government, Senators Cullom and Morgan and Representative Hitt, took their departure for home on Sept. 23 per S. S. Gaelic. During their stay, they had, as already reported, visited the islands of Maui and Hawaii. Later they also visited the Leper settlement on Molokai. Their remaining time was actively engaged in conference with their associates, Messrs. Dole and Frear, upon their appointed work. The results of their labors are expected to remain secret until reported to the President of the United States, and by him to Congress fcr their final action. It is understood however that they accomplished th« drafting of a full scheme for the government of these islands, and for the laws thereof. It is believed that as few changes in the present system and laws were adopted as were necessary to be consistent with the Republican system of the United States. Much anxiety of course is felt by all parties to what they have decided to recommend. Devoutly believing and praying men feci assured that all our destinies are in the hands of God, and will trustingly beseech the Lord to guide and direct the counsels of those who are to shape our future government, so that Hawaii may be enabled to go forward in a noble Christian and civilized progress. We must be deeply thankful that a good man in the Presidency has set over this work such an excellent group of men of wise and disinterested characters. May the outcome be toe best possible provision for Hawaii's future; and may the people of Hawaii make the best use thereof ! of thirty seven days, Admiral Miller sailed for home on the the L. S.

It is evident that there is much neglect on the part of some persons in not making the Government rations do better work in both quality and quantity. For instance, it ought not to be impossible for oui soldiers to obtain sugar or syrup to eat on their bread and rice. It is not only inhumanity but bad economy to feed soldiers on such unpalatable rations that their health suffers. THE FRIEND. By special orders from the U. S. State Department, S. B. Dole continues to act as President of the Republic of Hawaii, and all court proceedings continue in the name of the Republic of Hawaii. Vacancies in appointive offices are filled as before, and all government affairs continue unchanged until Congress shall have arranged a permanent form of government for the islands. U. S. Camps at Honolulu. A Military Order was published on Sept. 6, consolidating the troops present in the Military District of Hawaii into two camps, one to be called Camp McKinley consisting of the First New York Volunteers and Battalion of U. S. Volunteer Engineers as now, under command of Col. T. H. Barber, Ist N. Y. Volun teers; and another to be called Camp Otis comprising all expeditionary troops temporarily in theDistrict and command ed by the senior officer of those forces present. Camp McKinley is near Diamond Head. Camp Otis is within the race track at Kapiolani Park. The present locations are to be occupied only until some permanent site has been fixed upon. Feeding the Soldiers. 81 Practically the whole of Africa now lies open for the advance of civilized government and of Christian missions. It seems wonderful that moral responsibities of appalling magnitude should thus simultaneously be laid upon the two English empire! of the world, upon America to provide for the Great Antilles and the Philippines, and upon England for the Soudan. In the Providence of God, and in the natural expansion of Empire, it seems to he made the duty of Englishmen of both nations to grapple bravely with their new problems, to plant order and justice where cruelly has reigned, and to kindle Gospel light where darkness has brooded. A Narrow Escape from Death. The publisher of The Friend, and Mis. Thrum, feel profound gratitude for the safety of theii eldest son, Mr. Ernest G. Thrum. The ship Reiiil.eorth on which he had taken passage around Cape Horn, on account of health, became on fire July 7th. The fire seeming in the evening to be extinguished, the captain, mate, and a boy, with Mr. Thrum went to sleep in the cabin, where all four became suffocated by vapoi. Of the four, Mr Thrum alone was resuscitated after two hours labor. At a funeral next day, Mr. Thrum offered prayer for the absent relatives. On the 21th, the ship entered the harbor of Valparaiso, after 2,fh>o miles sailing by dead reckoning, all hands on short allowance, the interior ol the ship being inaccessible. A hole was burned in the sugar amidships from top to bottom of the ship. Six weeks having been spent in remedying the injuries to ship and cargo; and securing a new captain, the Reuilwarth was to have proceeded on her voyage on September 10th, Mr. Thrum going on in her. We believe that Commissary officers exercise considerable discretion in ex changing the regular Governmentrations for local supplies which are desirable. Flour, for example is exchanged with bakers for fresh bread. Baking powder and other items are available in like manner. We venture to suggest that the Commissariat contract with Ewa or Waianae Plantation for an occasional car load of sugar cane, to be issued, a stick apiece to the men. Sugar cane is the healthiest and most palatable sweet food known, and especially desirable for invalids.

TheHawaiianAssociation. I'ht' fall meeting of the Hawaii Association was held September 16th and 16th, at La upahoe hie, .ill hut two of the pastors ot ihe island being present; hesides the three visiting clergymen, Messrs. (iulick, I.eadinghani and Kmerson, there wen: als,i six lay delegates and one ex-pastor in attendance. It is man) yens since the meeting was last held at this place. The parish, and pastor 100, have not been regarded as strong enough to meet the needs of entertainment for so many. Ihe adverse reprot brought from Laupahoehoe to the Spring meeting held at Kekaha, Kona. led the members of the Association to consider the advisability of holding the fall session in this neglected parish. It was with misgiving that we went there; and indeed, the hospitality ot the place was put to the test: but through the exertions of the people, the aid of a neighboring pastor, and the generous hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. 11. Kickard, our host, we fared well. Hut it was a pitiful Sight to si c how, through the inefficiency of s pastor who had failed to stir Up his people, a fairly oood church-building had been left, as it were to the mercy of the elements. As our host said, it those responsible for the care of the church had only exerted themselves a little betimes, to put a nail into a clapboard here, and a pane of glass into a window there, and so kept the weather out, the building would no! have come to such decay. The pastor's neglect to do this, has suggested to Mi. Leadingham the need of giving his Students of the theological school, a course ot lectures on the care of church property: indeed such was found to be the inefficiency of the Laupahoehoe pastor, and such his inability to win the respect and confidence of the people, that, by the vote of the association, he was dismissed from his charge. It was a different course that led the Association, through its committee, to dismiss the Rev X. M. Naahumakua from his pastorate over the united churches of Kalapana and Opihikao. This good man accepted a call to the pastorate of a place where he had lived forty years, and been for twenty-five years of that time the school teacher. Familiarity in the minds of the evilly disposed bred, not perhaps contempt, but a certain jealousy and disrespect. Through the agency of a presuming and had minded kahuna woman, a wicked rumor got abroad, and the good man's hold of his people was weakened. He had the discernment to see this, and himselfasked the association to act as it did. We think it might be well for the native pastors, and perhaps for the people in general, if 8 lew such cases ol libel as the above, were tried in the courts. The influence of the kahuna is at the bottom of a great deal of the trouble that arises in thepaiishes. Kven the minds of the well disposed, sometimes get poisoned by the designing and irresponsible aspirants for power, how ever it may come. The case of Key. M. C, Kealoha, pastor at Waipio, is dismissed, and is no longer in the hands of a committee. This action was taken in view ot his purpose, explicitly declared to the committee, not lo mix himsell up with kahunaisni, but to oppose it in everything, and to hold himself in the future subject to the actions of the Association. Kealoha lepoits that the meeting house at Kukuihaele has been repaired, and that meetings are again held in it. A favorable report also comes trom Kau; pastor Kauhane is much encouraged by the return of some ol his disaffected members. Key. Ahi Lazaro, pastoi of the church at Kekaha, Kona, has been granted a leave of absence. 11l health makes it necessary for him to retire tor a season trom the work. It is feared that he may It have to leave the work entirely. would seem that at last the united churches of Kaohe and Milolii are to have an accredited pastor in the person of Rev. Louis M. Mitchell, who, not long since, moved his household to the district and occupied the family estate located there. Mr. Mitchell has built him a house out of native lumber, flooring and all being made of it. The lumber was hewn by his own hand. There is thus opened to the enterprising man the prospect, not only ola useful pastorate, but also tin proprietorship ola valuable coffee estate. At last, after long waiting, the Key. J. S. Kalana h, s again a church to try his hand m parish work, he having been The put in charge of the Olaa district next meeting ot the Association is to be held with pastor Kauhane, at W'aiohinu, Kau. In Puna. Upper Puna is now accessible as far as opposite Kamaili, the residence of Judge Kamau. Seven miles from the terminus of this upper road, there is a bianch road that runs down to the shore at Kapohoiki, the residence of Mr. Rycroft. From Kapohoiki the new road turns back and runs along the shore to Kapoho, the residence of Mr. R. A. Lyman. Carriages now go all this distance. Sofai, the donkey track is a thing of the past. It is said that the road through upper Puna is to he extended about eight miles to Kalapana. Should this be done, all of upper (or middle) Puna would be traversed and the main settlements on ihe shore would be reached. The lands along this middle Puna road lit with a slope toward the shore. The- are ol the most fertile quality and have great advantage of location. They are covered with a luxuriant growth of vegetation, and are mostly heavily wooded, and are seemingly on the edge of the heavy rain belt This middle Puna region offers as fan a chance for the homesteaders as climate and soil can give. Rev. Dr. Bingham has met with a serious disaster in the loss of his manuscript Dictionary of some 7000 words of the Gilbert Islands language. It has been the collection of thirty years residence among that people, and cannot be replaced. It is also a necessary instrument in the literary work he is The loss cairv ing on for those people. was caused by having too kindly loaned the book to an English gentleman who brought the highest testimonies of character and scientific standing, but who left Honolulu without personally returning the valuable treasure. There is evidence that he committed this and other books to the charge of a Japanese servant at the Pacific Club, to see to returning them to their owners. Moral. Never lend anything you cannot afford to lose. most Popery in the Philippines. Recent exposure of religious condi tions in the Philippines show that, in complete coijtiol not only of religion but of politics in that group, there survives the ancient Popery of the 15th century, that of the Horgias and Torijuemadas. The modern Roman Catholicism of America, and even of France, is a highly reformed religion in comparison. M. A. Hamm in the last N. Y. Independent, writes thereof, from intimate personal knowledge. There is the Church proper, which is controlled throughout by the Dominicans or "Hlack Friars." Then there are six brotherhoods with their numerous convents and monasteries; the Augustin friars; the Recollets; the Franciscans; the Capuchins; the Paulist fathers, who have eight schools and five hospitals; anil the poor Jesuits, who are allowed to have only one college, the Atheneum and the Astronomical and Meteorological Observatory. �84 The centers of insurrection have been the places where the Dominicans and Franciscans conduct their establish ments. The brotheth.iods own vast estates, both real and personal, which are exempt from taxation. The rentals of their lands are crushing to the tenantry. Their fees are heavy for all religious ceremonies, which the Jesuits claimed should be administered free of charge, for which the Dominicans procured the ex pulsion ot the Jesuits, from I TO* to IH.VJ. There is much cruel oppression of the people by the powerful friars. The brotherhoods are said to own one fifth of the cultivated soil of the Philip pines. They have heavy deposits in the banking houses of Manila, Hongkong and Singapore. In Hongkong they own several million dollars worth of real es tate, in the hands of diplomatic trustees. Very oddly they trust the American Consuls in preference to the Spanish Representatives. Nearly every American Consul m the far Fast is a trustee of real estate for the Dominican Friars of the Philippines. It will be recollected how the Domi nican Archbishop of Manila last May denounced the Americans and incidentally the British, as being heretical scum, thieves, assassins, and the assailants of women, unconscious, apparently, of the fact that at the very moment those thieves were holding in trust and protect ing for him over fifty million dollars worth ot property. In social morals, most of the Friars greatly debased. They are generally surrounded by half caste families. There are however, among them a few good and benevolent men, who are not whollyforgetful of the Master. How shall the debased and merely nominal Christianity of the Philippines be purged and recreated? What is to be Hawaii's pari in that work? are In assuming $4,000,000 of the public debt of Hawaii, the United States is only fulfilling an obligation, as well as being immensely the gainer by the transaction. This is made plain by the fact that the United States appropriates the entire revenue of Hawaii by Customs, which is $i60,0u0 annually, or six times enough to pay interest on the debt assumed. With the high American tariff, this Customs revenue will be increased, and is likely to more than pay for all military and naval expenses incident to the defense of the group. It seems to be matter of most serious regret that the voyage of the steamer Columbia of the new Seattle line, should be rendered an ill success, by protracted detention and litigation, giowing out of alleged ill treatment of passengers. There is certain to be in the futuie a heavy traffic in bananas and other fruits from Hilo to Oregon and Washington. Let our Seattle friends persevere. THE FRIEND. .. [October, 1898.

'l am the Bread of Life," he declared "He that Cometh to me shall nut hunger, and he that believeih on im: Shall nevel thirst." Jesus' disciples in all ages have found this true in their own personal and blest expetience. Christ in their own souls has been Light and Power. He has satislied their soul's hunger anil thirst. By His power in them they overcome the world and sense and sin. This Life, then, experienced in our selves, it is our errand to impart to the souls of the heathen. They *Tt indescribably weak and destitute as to moral and spiritual activity. They are unspeakably depressed. They are haul to reach. But the Word of the Lord is might)' ami penetrating. The soul ol Christ's disciple, kindled with His faith and love, can and does reach many heathen souls among then multitudes, and they find Him who gives them a new and higbci life. And they bring others to Jesus. So Cnrist conies into that heathen community and saves it, lifting it up tiotn its debasement. This is Christ's method. It is the method of Cnristian missions to first of all preach Christ as a personal Savior, and get Him into the paralyzed souls of the heathen, to quicken them into life. Education must follow, but it is subsidis futile to uplift. Our lathers Bingham and Thurston took great pains from the outset of their la bora here to impart secular knowledge to the heathen Hawaiians. But their chief endeavor was to induce them to take Christ int. i their souls. And whenever a heathen chief or serf did so re the Lord, the change wrought was marvelous.

The foul jester, l'uaaiki, forsook his impure sallies and became an elo quent preacher of the Christ who had filled him with Light. And when chiefs and people began to find Christ, then, and not before, (lid they become docile and begin to learn Christian and civil- ised culture. Our errand, then, is to bring Christ to the heathen and them to Him Political Reform in China. The awakening of China to tile necessity of radical reform in her political system, caused by the wat with Japan, The has caused a crisis at Peking. reform over had gained strong party oi the young Emperor and had obtained from him a deciee of ladical changes in public education and administration. Alarmed by this step, the conservative party secured the influence ot the Empress Dowagei and Li Hung Chang, and have put the Emperor in duiess and subverted his plans. The empire seems to be in the throes of effort to bring forth the new birth of enlightened government. It can hardly be doubted that the effort will soon succeed. It is quite improbable that the Empress will attempt anything more than to retard what she considers too hasty and sudden changes. An immense amount of light has been for many years shining around the outer walls of the inner courts of Peking, and much dim illumination has penetrated even their darkest recesses, as the action of the young Emperor and his party has proved. Besides this, the influence of the foreign Embassies at Peking makes powerfully for the change—and that influence is NUMHER 11 strengthened by the military forces now gathered in defense of the embassies against the populace. What has already been so remarkably accomplished in Japan, maturing such advanced fruitage, we have reason to expect, will before many years, be sue cessfully initiated in China, and that great and capable race will soon begin to adopt the higher knowledge of the the Occident which they have hitherto disdained.

Reid, an alumnus of Hampton, at a recent meeting of the Alumni Association of that school, among other things, said: "When I consider General Arm strong's age, less than thirty when this work began, his necessarily limited practical knowledge of the people with whom he proponed to deal, the novel and com plex questions growing out of the new condition of affairs as a result of the wai, which questions were puzzling the minds of the ablest and stanchest friends of the freedmen, and note the clearness of his insight, the correctness of his judgment as tested by the years that have passed, I do not hesitate to ascribe to him genius like unto that which enabled Lord Bacon with such unerring certainty to mark out the way for a revo lution in methods for the advancement of human knowledge, and to make a new era in the uplifting of humanity. "Having conceived the nature of the work he deemed it his dury to do, with a courage that was. dauntless, with a faith that was sublime, he steadfastly bent the whole of his tireless energies to its accomplishment; and in his ceaseless labors to that end there was 'no variableness neither shadow of turning.'" Hampton continues to fulfil its mission. Its students are carrying its purpose and spirit into many fields of labor. Witness the great institution of Tuskeegee under Booker T. Washington, a man of Armstrong's own spiritual begetting. Said Armstrong: "A man that requires no sacrifice does not count for much in fulfilling God's plans. But what is commonly called sacrifice is the best, happiest use of one's self and one's resources -the best investment of time, strength and means. He who makes no such sacrifice is most to be pitied. He is a heathen, because �THE FRIEND 86 he knows nothing of God." Brothers and sistets, let us be glad and swift to make our Be Christ-souls and not 'heathen." "Be swift, my soul, to meet Him; be jubilant, my feet I" False Notions About Saving Heathen. Col. Francis W. Parker, of the Chicago Normal School, last summer gave a series of highly appreciated lectures to a Teachers' Summer School in Honolulu. After his return home, the Chicago Times Herald reported the results of his observations, which were mainly friendly and appreciative. In that report the following paragraph occurs, upon a subject of which our friendly visitor could have had only the most lim ited opportunity to form a judgment "When the missionaries arrived, good men as they were, they had some very mistaken ideas about the nature of the people they wtre to work among. They saw no good in ihe natives, and tried to graft on them their own type of New England Christianity. They failed. The natives were in the end broken in spirit, and became indolent. Their upward progress was stopped for the time, and their patriotism was about all that was left for them to care for. Now 1 hope this will be changed." These words are simply the repetition of what the missionaries have always heard, and in other lands continue to hear, from those who do not believe in the plain gospel of Christ and his Apostles, with which "the New England type of Christianity" has always been in substantial accord, notwithstanding some inevitable traditional errors, which a better understanding of the New Testament is purging away. We should not notice them were it not for some peculiar editorial comments made thereon in : Honolulu. The second writer, who measurably believes in the missionaries, but not in the value of their gospel, says "The missionaries accepted the prey alent theological doctrine of the times in which they lived. Man was believed to have fallen through Adam's trans gression and there was no good in him. The theory of original sin was accepted in full by the churches that supported the missionaries. In their opinion there was but one way to "save" the natives, as well as the New linglander, and that was by accepting belief in the Atonement. Racial instincts, thetraditions of centuries, the iron grasp ol superstitions, it was believed, would disappear at once almost, on the acceptance of this : L Novcmber. 1898 ! belief.

Emerson. Editor. The Kauai Association, which met at Waimea October l-'th and Kith, was attended by all the pastors Ofl the island, and all the churches but one were represented by delegates. The meetings were also well attended by the native residents of Waimea. The reports from the churches \\. re mostly favorable. The pastoral Wainc has a new parsonage built with the Whitney parsonage fund, costing about (760, \V;- were favorably imprtssed with the condition of things in the district. Much credit is due to Mr. Hof gaard for his inteicst in the work; it was under his careful supei vision that the parsonage was built liuth he and Mr. brandt and Mr. Scott extended kind hospitalities to members ol the Association. Mr. Scott has ,i full school with several assistants. His over-ciowded school building is bring enlaiged. Ii is to be noted that Rev. Mr. Masste is having his parsonage repaired. A good work was done at Hanapepe last summei by Mr. K.ihalcole of the Theological School. Messrs. Kak.mi and W'aikalai, also of the Theological School, had been so successful with their summer work that they had each secured calls, the one to the Lihue, and the other to the Koloa Church. Their ordination and settle ment is lor the present postponed. It was noted that the pastor at X tolai! had had trouble with one of his deacons. This was probably due to an over hasty act of discipline on the part of the pastor. The Rev. S. Kiili of the Hanalei Church was again honored with the moderatorship of (he Association. Mr. Lydgate is to be congratulated for having kept the work on Kauai so well in hand. Evangelization off the Japanese. Visits to nine of the'eleven stations occupied by our Japanese evangelists have been made during the past two in inths, revealing a healthful state of the work at every point. At Kohala, Hilo, Papaikou, and Honomu. the representative of the Hawaiian Board met with audiences of from 50 to 70 persons, ami at two points four persons each made profession of faith. At Keaau, on the Volcano road, the new chapel erected the past year by the a most tangible and pleasing witness to the earnest courage and devotion of the people and of then faithful leader. We regret to note that at the call of his aged father, Mr. Minekishi felt it his duty to return to Japanafter an absence of 17 Years, leaving with his wife and two children by the Gaelic October IS. If, aftei a short visit to the father land, he is able to return to Hawaii, he will be warmly welcomed. The two preachers on Maui, are earnestly at work both on the Sabbath and on week days. Rev. M. Tsuji, who reached his field in P .ii and Hamakuapoko, Maui, in the middle of July, is proving very acceptable nd useful. He reports the addition of sixteen members to his church, on the I lith inst., fifteen on profession of faith and one by letterfrom some other church. A good work is bting carried on with quiet energy by the young brother who seeks the enlightenment of the Japanese upon the Ewa Plantation. On Sabbath, October 'i.'l, thirteen young men giving evitlence of having been most faithfully instructed in Gospel truths made a good profession of their faith in the Savior of the world, receiving baptism and entering into communion with their fellow Christians. A most interesting incident of ihe visit to this company of Christians was the meeting of Mr. Gulick with a Japan ese lately arrived from his native land, named Sugai Tasabuto, who received baptism from Mr. Gulick at Xakajo, Niigata province, in the northern pari of Japan seventeen years ago. It was an unexpected joy to this far travelled laborer to meet here his former teacher and here to commune with a company of active and sympathetic Christians. The Preacher tells us Keel. 11:1, "C-tst thy bread upon the waters; for thou shall find it after main days. Missionary work has it joys. O. H. G. The following communication, which was received some little time since, has been laid before the Hawaii, the Oahu and the Kauai Associations, and has been favorably received by each of them, and has been referred by them to the General Association of the group, which meets next June. Next week it goes before the Maui Presbytery for its approval or disapproval: Hartford, Conn., U. S. A. I August 13, 1898. | To the Hawaiian Congregational Churches:—At the National Council of the Congregational Churches of the United States, at Portland, Oregon, July 11th, 1898, the following was adopted: Whereas by act of Congress, and the signature of President McKinley to the annexation bill, the Republic of Hawaii will soon become an integral pait of the United States, and the Stars and Stripes are henceforth to float ovei that island paradise of the Pacific: Therefore, Resolved. That this Tt nth National Council of Congregational Churches at Portland, Oregon, hereby extends to the churches of Hawaii, planted as they were by our missionaries, and continuing within the historic fellowship, a most cordial welcome to the Christian brotherhood of the States, together with its pledge of earnest cooperation in the work of our common Lord. In expressing the spirit of fellowship, the Council also chei ishes the hope of greeting Hawaiian representatives at its future sessions, as members of this body. 11 was voted that a copy of this action be sent to the Hawaiian Churches. W. H. M ORE, (A true copy.) Registrar. Letter from Rev. S. Kauwealoha. Papeete, Tahiti, July 14, IS'as, Rtv. 0. P. Kmerson: llear Brother: Greetings to you and your household. We are here for a visit Kekela came first in the month of May. He came litre to chatter, if possible, a small vessrl just as you wrote him to do—for the rem ival of his family to Honolulu. Capt. Hen Chapman is helping him in this search; but the expectation is that the plan will not be matured till 1*99. As for myself, I came here to place ill) adopted daughter (one of Kekela's chililien) in Rev. Mr. Vieont's school, wheie she can be taught the I'"tench language and other useful studies. She has a very nice school home. The Nth of July is a great day here, and the people have gathered from the dillerent islands of the group; dwellers on the island of Tahiti, of Kaiatea, Huahine, Rurutu and Tuamotu. also two steamers have brought a large passenger list from Australia and New Zealand This is a holiday commemorative of the founding ol the French Republic, the administration of which seems to be a success, to its remotest colonial dependency. Kekela and I have now been forty five years residents in the French possession? of the Marquesas, and we never have suffered wrong at the hands of the Government-—we have been protected in all our rights; whatever harm has come, has been suffered at the hands of lawless natives and residents. The city of Papeete is growing; this growth is noticeable in the enlarged business interests, in the development of various enterprises, the improvement of the streets and roadways, as well as in the appearance of the residences. The — �THE FRIEND. 92 cultivation of the vanilla plant is one of the leading industries and is very profitable on the islands of Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea, and Huahine. The profit rif this industry has greatlyincreased during the past year, the price per kilo for the vanilla bean being $15, and the natives .ire building themselves houses out of the returns gained from this industry. Ktkela and I took a charming drive of 30 miles on the southern side of the island (Tahiti). The road took us through vanilla plantations, and here and there, through umbrageous trees, nice houses were peeping out. There is plenty of work here for the natives, should they choose to exert themselves. Orange and Cocoanut trees offer profitable crops; there are forests for the production of wood-coal, and various fibres abound for the making of hats and mats, such as are made from bamboo, from banana and lauhala leaves, and from sugar cane tassels. Good feeling exists here between the churches and the pastors. The missionaries, the Revs. Verenie and Vieont and their French associates have conducted things wisely. The people of the island of 'Tahiti have prospered undei the rule of the Republic, and this can also be said of the other islands Huahine, Bolabola, Raiatea, Moorea, Tubuai, Moorewa and the groups of Tuamotu and Nuuhiwa. In these regions good laws have been promulgated and offenders have been — punished. We are exceedingly glad in the hope that tsachers have been found here—a man and his wife -to go to Puamau in the Marquesas, and take up the work tnere —start again the school work, which for a time, has been suspended, and to continue the preaching services. Thus the house whose pillar had decayed, is to be supplied with new ones. It is with the impression that the Hawaiian Board does not plan to send new men into the Marquesas, that I have come here to get them. It is seventeen years since I was last here in Papeete, and here lam again, entreating the mis sion at 'Tahiti to send missionaries to the Marquesas to take our places, tor we are old and almost ready to fall by the way, and moreover we have not the necessary command of the French language; so the work must be taken up by the churches of 'Tahiti and Moorea. We return to our fields at Puamau and Uapou by the steamer which sails on the 19th inst. Meanwhile we are having frequent converse with the pastors here at Papeete, concerning the work at the Marquesas. Give our warm "aloha to the members of the Hawaiian Board and to all the Mrs. Alice Gordon Gulick's School. At the late meeting of the American at Grand Rapids, Mich., a stirring address was made by Mrs. (itilick. ot the College for Women at San Sebastian, which has been temporarily removed to Biarritz "Mrs. Gulick reviewed the history i»l the mission, showing with what small help lasting results have been reached. Old Spain has been discussed In yellow journalism, but there is a new Spain. There is a struggle going on between light and darkness. A flourishing church has been established, With -'--' members, a Sunday School ol the s.unt. size, graduates from the Seminary are sent out annually to all parts of the cur in pile, teaching twenty live cities. Many girl graduates have gone before the university authorities and received the degree of M. A. and B. A Mrs. Gulick has spent a month this sunnier visiting the Spanish prisoners at Ports mouth, N.

Mrs. Gulick asked that the Institute, so successful and important, might lie moved back fiom France not to San Sebastian, on the northern coast, but to Madrid itself. Board, - . November,1898.

Devout American souls have found unusual cause to rejoice and thank God Peace on this returning anniversary. has practically come after a short and decisively victorious war. That war gives the victor no sense of injustice, but of serious joy in the triumph of a just cause, with most beneficent result. America has had the noble office of administering the final and destructive blow to the ancient and bitter tyranny of Spain over the last of her colonies in each hemisphere. We have gallantly and generously completed the task which the smiting blows of our British forefathers began three hundred years ago on the Spanish main and in the English Channel. The decrepit but still arrogant tyrant lies prostrate and helpless. The world breathes more freely. We have also especially to thank God for His mighty call to a grand career of beneficent aid politically, morally, and spiritually, to great island groups in the Caribbean and the Pacific. There now lie open to our unobstrncted influence, the Spanish Antilles, the Philippines, the Ladrones, and probably the Carolines. Wt thank God for a great opportunity to uplift and bless our fellow men, long held down in bitter bondage. May The United States have certainly be fore them great duties to perform to Cuba and Puerto Rico. It also seems unavoidable fhat our nation shall undertake somewhat similar exacting duties towards the Philippine group. The work assumed is to secure to all those islands the blessings of civilized order anil good government. And that is an enormous task, especially for our people who have not yet accustomed themselves, like England, to rule over foreign dependencies. The events of the year, truly the Providence of God, seem unmistakably to have laid this onerous duty upon the American nation. It is to be confidently believed that they will take it up, and not shirk it. Many may say, "We have not yet learned well to guvern ourselves. Our own political life abounds in corruption and fraud. Our people tyrannize over negroes and Indians. How then shall we teach justand righteous administration to weak and ignorant Filipinos?'' It is by leaching that the teacher learns most. The instructed are to teach the ignorant without waiting to become per feet in doctrine or practice. Enough true men can be found in America to administer righteous government in Luzon and Mindanao, and to train those people in the same. Their employment will be a noble school for high political sentiment at home, and will tend to purge our own cities and states of the Crokers and Cjuays. We must not delay to heal other sick until oui own healing is complete. Give, and it shall be given to us again. The Extension of Democracy. 93 NUMIIKK 12 blessings of Democratic liberty which ourselves enjoy. This seems to us a grave error, which grows out of a complacent ignorance of the enormous mental and moral disabilities conspicuous in the depressed and weak races of the tropics. They inherit that weakness from unnumbered generations of debased living. It is inwrought into their physical and moral fibre. They are "lesser Their inherited feebleness breeds." must wisely be taken account of. In their present undeveloped condition such races are as incapable ol selfgovernment as so many young children. What possibilities are in them of improvement and moral development by means of patient training through long centuries of Christian regimen, is not ascertained. But to institute among the Pilipinos and Tagals Democratic or even a very limited Republican lule would simply be to consign them to mutual piracy and anarchy. We see something of that in states like Colombia and Peru. America should take up the arduous task of political regeneration for those people with no false ideas, or there will come a most painful disillusioning. Great Britain has great experience in prosperousand beneficent administration among weak races in India and Egypt. It behoves Ameiica to begin her new duties by profiting from that British experience, laying aside vain pride in her own Democracy. Her only possible success will be in the exercise of wise paternal authority through trained, upright and skillful civil servants, supported by the necessary military force. Much of that force can be enlisted from Asiatic In sources under American officers. good time it will be practicable to employ trained native officials. Gradually some features of Representative government may be introduced. What time and education can accomplish for those people remains to be tested. The great effective agency making political elevation possible must be the spiritual redemption of the people by conversion to the Lord Christ. Their moral elevation and obedience to righteousness well speedily follow. Then having been set free from the service of Satan, of lust, and of sloth, they can begin to assume the franchises of free citizens of the Republic. The Christian Missionary must be the chief political It is a favorite idea of Expansionists, that America can take in charge such races as those in the Philippines and speedily induct them into the practice of Representative government, and the regenerator. �THE FRIEND 94 Accelerating Growth of Christianity. was greater than the total of the first thousand years; and that during the From the Bibliotheca Sacra. hundred years from 1700 to lr>oo it THE GROWTH OF THE "KINGDOM OF GOD. gained nearly as much as during the Since the beginning of BY SIDNEY L.

It is beyond dispute that for more than a hundred years there was common in all parts of England a degree of wickedness and immorality, of filthy speech and foul literature, which is almost inconceivable." With a peifect wealth of statistical tables, and striking diagrams of various kinds, regarding almost every movement begun and carried forward by Christian people, it is shown that, notwithstanding the rapid growth of the population of England and Wales, "the churches as a whole are fairly holding their own," after a century of particularly scholarly skepticism and agnosticism ; that "direct moral and religious instruction is far more general than ever before ;" that "the principles of righteousness and justice" prevail as never before; that more auxiliaries, through which Christians labor without pay or profit, are aiding to help the suffering and needy and to rescue the erring than ever before in the world's history ; and "that the religious life of the churches is far more spiritual and real than it has been for at least two hundred years." The growth of the Kingdom of God in the United States is treated in the same careful and thorough manner. "If ever there has been a time when the Protestant churches seemed doomed to failure, it was toward the close of the last century. At the beginning of the present century, out of 5,300,000 inhabitants, the church-members numbered only 364,000, i.e., about one out of each hundred. * * * During the first ninety years of this century, the total population increased twelve times,while the church membership increased thirtynine times. So that the evangelical church-membership has grown more than three times as fast as the population. * * * There is to-day a larger proportion of men in the Protestant churches of America than at any previous time during the present century." "Although the nation has been making phenominal progress, the religious forces have been growing so much faster that the non-Christian population is not only diminishing in proportion to the nation, but seems to be diminishing even in actual numbers." Facts are given regarding rhe small number of professed Christians in the colleges and among educated men at the opening of this century, and over against them are set such facts as the following : Out of fourteen hundred recent graduates of Harvard University, only two declared themselves unbelievers." In non-Christian countries, and even in non-Protestant countries, it is doubtless true that religion has a more powerful hold on the uneducated and ignorant masses than on the educated ; but it is not so in the United States ; rather it is clearly the reverse. �56, No. 12.] A chapter is given to "Growth in Comprehension," in which a review is made of the Christian centuries, and it is shown how the church has gradually grown in comprehensi in of the true spirit of the gosp.l, and how remarkably it has come to understand and try to practice the spirit ol the Master in this THE FRIEND. 95 Vol. Facts are stubborn things and sharp weapons. Such facts as are contained in this book, suitably used in public ministrations, strengthen the faith of the young and tend to make them more confident in their belief and more joyous and zealous Christians.

With all allowance for animosity in century. the writer, there is too much reason to believe in the truth of the above statements. The Bishop is now embarked in an attempt to crush the Second Congregation and their minister, the greatly esteemed Rev. Alexander Mackintosh. Against this exercise of despotic power the interposition of the secular courts has been invoked. The Bishop's action is directly in the face of all the leading influential elements in his diocese. It remains to be seen whether his official position, even nominally, endows him with authority to act as he is attempting to do. Such despotic arrogance belongs to the 13th and not to the 19th century— to Spain and not to the United States. In this age and part of the world such characters cannot long abide. Ex-Queen Goes to Washington. The ex queen Liliuokalani again goes to Washington, having sailed hence on the 15th ult. Her present errand is understood to be to press her claim for a liberal pension from the United States, on account of the loss of her Royal State. We sincerely hope that her claim may be favorably regarded. Her dethronement was absolutely necessary to the civilized progress of the Islands. Her behavior as Queen was in many respects most reprehensible. Yet from her peculiar point o( view as a Polynesian princess, she was justified in arrogating more or less absolute power. A kindly toleration should be exercised towards her wrong-mindedness. She should receive some generous compensation for her losses and humiliations. Her later years should be made comfortable. We trust that Congress will grant her a reasonable pension for life. As her remaining years are likely to be few, the annual amount may well be large. : : English Books for Natives. At a meeting on November 26th of the Mission Children's Society, Theodore Richards, Mrs. H. C. Coleman and F. W. Damon were appointed a committee to look into the matter of supplying suitable English books to the native and other youth in the out districts. During the past few years the progress of the natives in acquiring English has been greatly accelerated. Most of the youth have become capable of understanding books of simple language. There is a large class of books to be had which are quite available for their use. They greatly need such literature for moral and mental culture. It is desired to make careful selection of suitable books, and to establish small circulating libraries in the various school districts. A great and good work seems to be opening in that direction. Youth of other nationalities will share in the ben- efits. �96 The Government and the Saloons. The Executive have been endeavoring to establish some new regulations for the Liquor Saloons, attempting to render them more orderly and less injurious toj society. In their conference with the liquor dealers two weeks since, if any questionable expression was used in efforts to conciliate, we would interpret it in a charitable way. We are disinclined, however, to admit that, "in licensing saloons, the Government be comes practically partners with the owners in the liquor traffic." What was weighing upon the mind of the speaker was, evidently, the responsibility incurred by the Government to see that the traffic should be conducted with as much outward decency and as little disturbance as possible. But that the government ought to regard itself as a partner in this disreputable traffic we most earnestly deny. Notwithstanding the fact that some men are engaged in that occupation who are honorable in their intentions, and otherwise estimable citizens, the whole busi ness is an unworthy and dishonorable one, in which a reputable Government should not regard itself as participating, although it may be necessary to permit and regulate it. The liquor traffic is dishonorable, because it directly panders to a vicious propensity, because its chief profits are derived from the moral and physical ruin of its patrons, because it is a perpetual source of disorder and menace to the public safety, and because it is the chief agency in filling our prisons and making necessary a costly police system. Such an occupation is necessarily dis reputable in all well-enlightened com munities. It is disreputable in most parts of Canada and the United States, where no person can participate in it without sensible loss of social standing. It is the same in Honolulu, this being a city where the "Non-Conformist Conscience" prevails. We recognize the impossibility of prohibiting this pernicious traffic in such a "Cross-roads" as Honolulu. It must therefore be restricted as far as possible by heavily taxed licenses, and carefully regulated, so as to limit its unavoidable evils. This is immeasurably better than unrestricted sale, which is the only practicable alternative. Therefore such licensing becomes the duty of the Gov ernment. But let us not for a moment admit that the Government is a partner in the nefarious traffic. The heavy license fee stamps the business as one tolerated only from necessity, severely restricted and heavily taxed as a penalty for its mischief. Government tolerates, but does not approve, and by no means participates in it. Decmbr, 1898. THE FRIEND Special attention is asked to an extended review of the new book by Rev. Sidney L. Gulick, on"The Growth of the Kingdom of God." The facts pro ving the great and rapid progress of Christianity in the world should be familiar to all earnest Christians, for their own encouragement, and to arm them to repel the disparagements of opposers. Mr. Gulick's book seems to be a grand arsenal of such weapons. Council for Installation. The Central Union Church have invited a meeting of a council of churches, by pastors and delegates, and of other ministers, to assemble on December I 2th, with a view to the installation of the Rev. William M. Kincaid as pastor of the church. The Union Thanksgiving Service was held, as customary, in Central Union Church. Rev. W. M. Kincaid preached with his usual eloquence upon "The New America," recognizing with sanguine hope, the new call of duty suddenly laid upon America to impart of her own political blessings to other nations now down trodden and suffering. Hawaii is far in the foreftont of the lines of conduction for the uplifting influences. Our new Pastor is wide awake to the situation. A young son of Minister S. M. Damon was most seriously injured on the '26th inst. by the discharge of his shotgun, which he dropped in climbing a tree. The charge tore through the under mus cles of the thigh, barely missing the artery. It is a strange coincidence that the lad was shooting in company with young Judds, as was his older brother some years ago, when his gun was discharged through his hand. Much anxiety is still felt for the young sufferer. "Missionaries" Scandalized. A report of a recent theatrical per- formance here represents the bald immorality of a certain female character as distressing to the "missionaries" present. " Missionaries," of course, means people of some moral squeamishness. In our younger days people of missionary affiliations were not grieved by anything they saw or heard at theaters, because they never went to such places. Theaters invariably pander to the tastes of the degraded majority of mankind, therefore fail to uplift. Immortality. As widespread as Christianity is the confident belief that righteous and redeemed souls will live again in a state of felicity after their earthly bodies have become dust. But many overlook the fact that they owe this habit of belief to the mighty assurance which the Church of Christ derived from their Master's bodily resurrection from the tomb. One party of the Jews believed that the dead would rise again to eternal life. Another section scouted the idea. The disciples of Christ saw their risen Lord come again in the living body which they had laid dead in the tomb. The resurrection became to them no more a matter of opinion. It was a living re ality attested by Him who had broken the bars of death. This grand assurance has come to us down through the church, because Christ rose bodily from the grave. It is our inheritance, attested precious by the great miracle of the ages. To tloubt or disbelieve that miracle is to weaken the assurance of our title to immortality. It then becomes matter of speculative opinion. Some minds, discarding the authority of Divine revelation, still think that they find evidence in man's higher nature that he will be immortal. Others find such evidence insufficient, and distrust a higher state. People of Christian antecedents carry a strong prejudice in favor of such belief. They are indebted for it to their education The basis of that belief is the personal, bodily resur rection of our Lord, as witnessed by his disciples and recorded by them. To discard that clear and reliable testimony of the disciples is to cast away a most precious ground of the Hope which illumines the darkness of the grave, and leave our souls open to gloomy doubts, such as were dispelled from the mind of Thomas after he had seen and handled the risen body of his Master. It is deeply to be regretted that any Christian believers should permit themselves to indulge in any such tampering with the clear facts recorded in the New Testa ment as to deny that Christ's body came forth alive from the tomb and ascended to heaven. What if the fact is a miracle transcending our understanding ? We shall understand it better when we are glorified.

Books and Reading Rooms. The establishing of libraries in various parts of the islencls, which we have already urged, is being energetically pressed by Rev. Richards, our new asso ciate. He is in correspondence with many Kamehameha men antl others who are in the field with reference to collecting books and opening reading rooms. The beginnings of a library are already to be found in several places. The problem is to get them into the hands ol the young people. Intelligent leader ship is required. Good books are needed, such as will interest and help them. Nothing will mare quickly kill such an enterprise than dull, uninteresting books. There must he some intelligent plan for getting the right ones to read them, and here lies the advantage of a reading room with a librarian. The members of the Portuguese Literary Club are to open then reading room Thursday evening, Dec. Ist. The day is celebrated as that on which Portugal finally won its independence of Spain. Appropriate exercises are to be held on the occasion. Speeches areexpected from Mr.Carnavarro, Dr. Alvarez. Mr. Vivas and Rev. Mr. Soares. The reading room is to be open to the public, and papers, magazines and books, both Portuguese and English, will be found there for consultation. Mr. James Davis, pastor of the church Waikaue, Oahu, has a reading room the church lot, which is the pride of the parish, but a dearth of books is lorted. This active young pastoi juld have a good supply of reading matter at his disposal before this enthu siasm for reading dies out. Maui Notes.

It speedily appeared that the Alabama was then in the Caribbean and never entered the Pacific at all.

But such can always find susceptible persons to be duped. Sharpers will always find dupes to be gulled. Motor Keeley was a marked success. Horace Wright publishes a statement of the entire number of lepers sent to Molokai, up to October last, as being from 1866 to that date, 6362, of whom 4126 have died there.

It has been glorious in the beating down of ancient strongholds of slavery and oppression, and in the opening of dark regions of stolid misery to light and freedom. Still more illustrious has the nineteenth century been in the wonderful spread of Christianity in the world, and in the extension and success of Christian missions, which now pervade and are sensi bly transforming and blessing almost all the tribes of mankind. In all these features the closing decade of the century has been behind no preceding decade, but rather an acceleration of previous progress.

The Council called for the purpose, as reported in our last issue, met at Ctntral Union Church on the morning of the IStbttlt. A statement of his doctrinal views was read by Mr. Kincaid. After some questioning by the members of the Council, they retired foi consultation. It was decided, without any negative vote, to proceed in the evening with the installation. Public services were held in the evening. Rev. J. I.eadingham reported the proceedings of the Council. Rev. G. L. Pearson, of the Methodist church offered prayer. Rev. O. H. Gulick read the Rev. J. A. Cruzan, Scripture lesson. of Hilo, preached the sermon, from Kzekiel 47:0 —"And everything shall live whither the river cometh." Christ's redemptive work is to cover the earth and everywhere bring life. Rev. O. P. Kmerson offered the installing prayer. Rev. H. H. Parker gave the charge to the pastor. Rev. Dr. C. M Hyde gave the right hand of fellowship. Rev. S. li. Bishop gave the charge to the people. The services closed with the benediction by the pastor. The Central Union Church thus again goes forward in its important work, under its new and able pastor, the Rev. William Morris Kincaid. Japanese Boarding School. Among the growing and developing necessities of the Japanese Christian work in Honolulu, is provision of a home for boy boarding scholars of the pastor from trie other islands. Over twenty such boys are now In the pastor's care. They attend the government schools, and are also taught in Japanese in the Home. Very suitable premises for such a Home have been found for them, at a very moderate price of $6500. Rev. O. H. Gulick, assisted by a com mittee of other gentlemen, is authorized by the Hawaiian Board to solicit contributions for the purpose named. Judging by the success of previous solicitation from Honolulu benevolent friends, the objtct is likely to be attained. It is the experience of the Board and of Christian workers, that the Christian boarding school is the necessary adjunct of the Mission, and an indispensable necessity to the best sue-, cess of missionary work. �THE FRIEND. 2 Right Hand of Fellowship. Following is the address of Rev. Chas. M. Hyde, 1)."D., on extending to Rev. Wm. Morris Kincaid the right hand of fellowship as pastor of the Central Union church, December I.'; 1898: When I was asked this morning to take the part that has been assigned to me in these installation services, there came to my mind—why, I cannot tell— these words of Paul, "I knew a man in Christ, whether in the body or out of the body I cannot tell," but there was this variation in the thought. I count it one of the felicities of my earthly pilgrimage that here in the body I have come to know you as a brother in Christ, with such outspoken utterance of personal trust in the saving grace of Jesus, King of Love, and such intense earnestness in bringing every one whom your voice can reach to instant and constant fealty to the King of Truth. We talk much of the blessings of the communion of the saints in light, but every one of us, while in this garb of flesh, knows what it is to long as our Master did for the companionship of sympathizing friends. It is to a circle of esteem and affection that I welcome you, whose links are forged of tried and approved personal qualities, not made out of manufactured ties of concentrated self interest. It so happens that we two have come at an interval of many years from the same academic family,housed in that old New England college, built among the green meadows and marble ridges of the westernmost county of the old Bay State. Trained there in our youth, under the careful restraints of New England life, we have been transplanted for the work of mature years into these tropic surroundings of palm groves and sugar plantations. As an older resident, I heartily welcome you to your labors in these sunny isles amid summer seas, and to the duties of the new citizenship in relaying the foundations of a Chris tian community amid changed political and social relations. I can assure you that you will find your sphere of influence expanding in these new relations, despite the limitations of insular communities, taking on even imperial rank such as mere position gives to persons and places otherwise insignificant. You will find this community, as I have had abundant occasion to know, ready to rally to your support in the furtherance of any religious or philanthropic movement for the general welfare, as the Israelites cheered on Ezra, their priest and leader, in thereconstruction of their social system. "Arise, for this matter belongeth unto thee ; we also will be with thee ; be of good courage and do it." I welcome you to the various departments of Christian work you will here find already in active operation, to cooperate in carrying out God's design of human redemption that covers in its scope the life of the whole race of men, and finds its fulfillment only in the infinite blessedness of eternity. Other men have labored and we enter into their labors. I need not remind you that missionary and minister are simply con venient terms of distinction, but imply no difference of spirit or purpose. You know well that this work to which we welcome you is not merely ethical or educational, though ethical and education al it must be if it is to be in the line of God's work in the past. It is something more and higher, however, touching not comfort or culiure merely, but the issues of life and death, here and hereafter ; as you yourself have described it, the recon ciliation of men with the Eather of Infinite Majesty and Mercy, the Sovereign Arbiter of all Human Destiny. You will do this, we know from what you have already done rrere in the spirit of tne Divine Mediator, whom the common people heard gladly and wondered at the gracious words that proceeded out of his mouth. You will be content, as He was, with bringing the truth to the minds of men,and leaving it as the leaven to do its specific work of healing, purifying and strengthening ; not hurling immature rebukes as dynamite into the usages and institutions of society where sin and unbeliel have entrenched themselves. I welcome you to the joys that are inseparable from such service for the Master, assured that the annoyances and inconveniences incidental to it are incidental to all human effort in this earthly life of toil and pains. It is not in view of these vexations and discomforts that Paul exclaimed, "Who is sufficient for these things ?" He saw with anointed vision, as you have seen, the causes and consequences of sin, that is in its essence rebellion against God, leading, ii not arrested by God's grace, to (rod's withdrawal from the sinner according to the soul's perverted desires. Who can change this settled animosity and antagonism of the human heart and will, but God himself revealing His forgiving and sanctifying face in the cross on Calvary and the baptism of the Holy Spirit ? It is to joy in witnessing this wonderworking form of Holy Love that I welcome you, and to anticipation of victory such as we are authorized to claim in the divine declaration that no work in the Lord is in vain. It is not the benediction of an aged patriarch that I am expected to pronounce upon you and your work. Rather do I give you here and now this right hand of fellowship in token of a bond of brotherhood, that unites all believers in the common salvation, in liar mony with the prayer of our Savior to the Father that "they all might be one as we are one." Receive it as the pledge also of ready helpfulness on the part of your fellow believers. In lines ot thought and methods of work a John and a Paul, 3 Whitefield and a Wesley, L J may not think or plan alike, but the spirit and the aim are one, to make all men know and accept the forgiving grace of God, and to live together as heirs of the same promised blessedness, for which we know no other name than glory. A Reminiscence of Bernice Pauahi. BY W. N. ARMSTRONG. I am reminded, as I stand here, of an incident in Hawaiian life—the connection in the lives of two Hawaiian born. Over fifty years ago the Royal school was established near the site of the present barracks. It was under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke. In this school were educated the children of the aliis, the chiefs. A few others, children of the foreigners in office, Dr. Judd and Dr. Armstrong, also attended it. At tbe desks occupied by the hoys sat Alexander Liholiho, Kamehameha IV., Lot Kamehameha, Kamehameha V., Lunalilo, and Kalakaua. At the desks occupied by the girls sat Emma Rooke, Bernice Pauahi, Liliuokalani and others. The sweet faced girl, Pauahi, was full of girlish fun, and loved by all. In front of Lunalilo sat one small boy, full ot childish mischief, the son of a missionary in the government of Kamehameha 111. These children played together in the yard beside the school. Fifty yeais are gone. That sweet faced girl grew to womanhood, and in the prime of life, with her sun at the zenith, passed away, leaving as her perpetual monument this magnificent endowment for the education of her people, the rarest gift to the Hawaiian people. The boy grew up, wtnt to America, fought as a soldier in the great Civil war, dedicated his life to tile education of the colored race, and, in the words of Bishop Brooks, became the successor to Abraham Lincoln in the task of reconstructing the negro race. He too, in middle life, found his burdens too heavy, and was compelled to lay them down. One might have seen, in a vision, the meeting of these two children of Hawaii, these noble benefactors of mankind, in the life beyond, joining hands before the troops of angels who covered them with flowers, with leis from the immortal plants of life. And the Angel of the Record opened his Book of Deeds, dipped his pen in the Celestial light, wrote across the names of these children of the Royal school, "Well done, good and faithful servants." The Maunaolu Girls' School at Maui, whose building was lately destroyed by fire, are occupying temporary quarters in the old Haleakala school building, which has been fitted up for their use. This building, long ago given up as a boys' industrial school, has been for many years the property of Mrs. Helen Alexander, sister of Hon. L. A. Thurston. �THE EKIEND I.J 3 Vol. 57, No. How Princess Pauahi Bishop Loved to paid SLOOO each. Messrs. J. A. Scott and C. C. Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy Do Good. gave $5011 each.

Fair. The Hawaiian people of Kaumakapili church are making a special and most creditable effort to clear oft a debt of $3,000 of many years' standing upon their church edifice. Among the means employed was a very successful fair, held on Dec. 17th in the lower rooms of the church. There was a fine exhibit of native fans, mats, bowls, etc., to which (jueen Dowager Kapiolani had contributed from her stores. There were also native refreshments of kulolo, green cocoanut water, etc., besides ice cream, coffee and cake. The native ladies in attendance were assisted by several ladies from Central Union church. Nearly $500 was realized during the lair, and more from sales made later. Many tourists made purchases. We secured a sample of the old fashioned, homely but flexible cocoanut fans,which are incomparably superior in delivery of wind to the fancy modern styles of stiff fans latterly plaited by the natives from Leans far out to listen To the crooning sea, bamboo and iwaiwa.

Their hardware business has been made over to the Pacific Hardware Co. The original partners of this firm were the late Samuel N. Castle and Amos S. Cooke, who arrived together in Honolulu in 1837, the former as secular agent of the Mission, in which service Mr. Cooke became associated some ten years later. The two friends afterwards engaged together in a retail trade,which prospered and ultimately grew into the present large concern.

The first of these took place on the evening of the 22d, at Palama chapel, under the direction of Mr. Hiram Bingham, Jr., and Miss Pope. The crowd filled the chapel and verandahs. The program consisted of songs, recitations, choruses, refreshment, and Santa Claus doings. The excellent drill of the boys' brigade was a notable feature. The next morning was given to the various kindergarttns, beginning with the Chinese at 9 a. m., the Hawaiian and Magoonville at 9.30, and the Japanese and Portuguese at 10. The tree? and exercises were precisely alike in all the schools, with the usual marching and songs. The trees were arranged on the play grounds. The little ones had made up pretty little trinkets for their parents, which were distributed from the trees together with the many presents for the children. On Friday evening, the 23d, was the Kamehameha Pounder's Day. Founder's Day at Kamehameha Schoo's was fully observed with the usual varied exercises. On the evening of Dec. 19th there was a crowded as sembly in the large gymnasium hall. Very animated and instructive addresses were delivered by President S. B. Dole and Mr. W. Nevins Armstrong, on "The New Conditions and How Young Hawaiians may Meet Them." Mr. Dole talked upon the educational part, and Mr. Armstrong upon ihe industrial part. One is led earnestly to hope that the pupils of Kamehameha Schools will worthily meet the new conditions now opening in Hawaii. Hawaiian Choral Club. This club has been successtully organized by Prof. Theodore Richards, who is now employed in special missionary work among the native Hawaiians. The president is D. L. Naone, M. K. Nakuina treasurer, and J. Kumalae secretary. Mr. Richards is musical director. A grand concert was given by this club on the evening of the 27th ult , at the Opera House —an entertainment by natives only, for Hawaiian beneficiaries. The Choral Club was assisted by the Kawaiahao and Kamehameha Girls' Schools, the Kamehameha Glee and Mandolin Clubs, and the Waiahole Zither and Guitar Clubs. In several numbers there were fifty voices. The audience was a very full one, consisting largely of Hawaiians. About $600 was realised over expenses. The beneficiaries were the Hawaiian Relief Associa tion, the Kapiolani Maternity Home, and the Kawaiahao Seminary. This is some of the good work our able and devoted Brother Richards is doing for the Hawaiians by his active personal coop eration. Christmas tree at the Ceutral Union Sunday school. Over one thousand persons crowded the rooms. The tree was an evergreen, glittering with lights and spangles and lo.ided with presents. Every child received something to make them happy. Over $100 had been con tributed for the purpose. Santa Claus in his venerable person, was active in the distribution. Christmas trees were also held at the Methodist and Disciples' churches on Monday evening, and at the Portuguese church on Saturday evening. The fine evergreen used at Central Union did service a second and third time in the Portuguese and Methodist Sunday schools. With all these delightful doings for the children, one can begin to imagine what a burden of work was carried for weeks by the ladies of the various churches, young and old. Also how deep the other sex went into their pockets in the same cause. There were also good Christmas evenings in the Japanese and Chinese Rev. Dr. John H. Barrows has acchurches.

This periodical fully maintains its long and well earned character as ihe leading source of full and accurate information about the islands. This is the twenty-fifth issue. A quarter century of collating and compiling statistics has made Mr Thrum an expert in such work. Twenty seven pages are occupied with details of the condition of Houolulu in 1853, accompanied by six finely executed plates reduced from lithographs made at that time by Paul Emmert with minute care. In the margins of these drawings nearly 10J of the principal buildings of that period are represented. The contrast is great with the growing city of the present, even as the town the present writer returned to in 1853 contrasted with that of the thirties which he left. But at both these dates the cheerful Hawaiians formed the chief element in the streets. Now they are few. There is a chronological table of Hawaiian events which occurred during the past twenty-three years. Special accounts are given of the coffee districts of Olaa, Kona and Hamakua. Chinese Permitted to Return to Hawaii We rejoice that a grievous hardship has been prevented. Certain Chinese visiting China had obtained from the Hawaiian government, according to law, special permits to return here. U. S. Agent J. K. Brown treated these permits as having been invalidated by the annexation of Hawaii to the United States. He directed these men to be refused admission. This was an extreme hardship. Their case was carried to the Chitf Justice, who decided in favor of the Chinese. His decision is stated at considerable length, and carefully reasoned in a manner which must command respect at Washington. His principal position is that the application to Hawaii of the United States laws could not be intended to be retrospective in the absence of specific provision for being so ; wherefore a previously issued permit to return here continued valid. It would be a manifest injustice to exclude from their homes here Chinese who left with an official assurance that they could return. Our Chief Justice is to be congratulated on being able to frustrate so grievous a wrong, and on having done his work in so masterly a manner. In condemning the proposed injustice we express no opinion thereby as to the propriety of the United States statutes restricting the admission of Chinese. Only their retrospective application in Hawaii is objected to. �Vol. 57, No. l.j 5 IHK !• KM-Nil How President Dole Abandoned Neutrality. caused by the great increase of traffic in excess t)f the wharfage facilities of HonA severe attack upon President Dole olulu harbor.

By all accounts the town of Hilo is making rapid progress in its growth, as becomes the second city in Hawaii-nei. New streets, new stoics, new dwellings are reported every month. New works are coming on for electric light and power, utilizing the fall of the copious Wailuku stream. The rich and exten sivc back country of this important seaport, capable of sustaining 150,000 people, ensures to Hilo a great future. There is certain to grow up a large traffic with the noithwe.st coast in oranges, bananas and pineapples, by means of refrigerating steamers. There will be railways to Hamakua, Olaa and East Puna. There will yet be a breakwater and great wharves. All this is only a matter of time. Now let the good Christians of Hilo see to it that thensocial and religious foundations be built solid and broad, and that "no place be given to the devil' and his works. or The Spanish port of Guahan, Guam, in the Ladrones, was a familiar resort of thr whalers in the old days, from 40 to GO years ago, and the name was most familiar here. The sperm whalers especially frequented that part of the ocean, ranging thence among the Caro line Islands and to the coasts of Japan. Guam now becomes an important link of naval connection for the United States with the Orient. Its language will undergo change from Spanish to English. �6 THE FRIEND The report of the official survey made of the S. S. Columbia discloses the fact that she was in a rickety condition when she left Seattle for Honolulu, with manymakeshift repairs in her hull and steam works. The people who sent her are criminally culpable. Tourists should beware of these hastily organized steamship companies without capital. By the call of the cutter McCulloch last week at Honolulu, this city gains the honor of being the first U. S. port to be visited by any of the ships of Dewey's victorious fleet.

The representatives of all the races in our cosmopolitan city take kindly to holiday making, and no festival is more popular with them than Chiistmas. This is attested loudly by thousands of crackers, and paper bombs, discharged by Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese and Hawaiian boys alike, the firing being commenced twenty-four hours before almanac date for Christmas, and being continued by the enthusiasts for a day or two after the calendar sun has set. The loving-kindness of this Christian community is marked by the most patient forbearance towards these sleep-destroying holiday makers. It is truly a pleasure to see how the several races enjoy the day set apart in memory of the greatest character in human history. While the Christmas decorations in all the churches are interesting io those who have a portion in the pleasure, yet for attractive simplicity, and for inventions out of the usual order, the Japanese excel. The most attractive element is of course the children. At the Japanese celebration which was observed on the evening of the 27th there were fully eighty children present, and all did themselves credit in their several parts. The surprise of the evening was the representation on the platform of the sheep and shepherds of Bethlehem and of the angels with wings. The gymnastic drill of a company of say eighteen lads was truly fine. Santa Claus who burst his way through a paper chimney and then delivered his fatherly advice in such Hawaiian as the saint is familiar with, was the second surprise of what to all the children, parents and visitors was a very merry evening. The arrival on the 9th of December of Mr. G.. Tanaka, wife and children, by the Gaelic, brings the number of the Japanese evangelists of the Hawaiian Board up to eleven. A fine and large field for the services of this highly recommended man opens to him upon the Spreckelsville plantation. We are persuaded lhat the most redeeming and uplifting influence that reaches the laborers on the plantations comes to them through the labors of the faithful evangelists. Have faith in God. Have faith in the Kingdom that is not this world. And believe that he hclds by their right hand the weakest who have learned of him to say, "Thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory forever. Amen." —Rev. Angelo Canoll. �[January, 1899. THE FRIEND. 8 Waialua Hotel. A somewhat imposing structure has been nearly completed at Wnialua, upon a most desirable location, near the bridges. The'outlook from the broad upper verndahs is a noble and delight ful one, both seaward and inland. The cool, fresh breezes and splendid beaches of Waialua form a gre<t attraction, now less than three hours by tram from Honolulu. A copious supply of fresh water is laid on from the noble springs just above the hotel. The grand Kaala mountain towering nearby is a glorious object. In both scenery and climate, Waialua is a great change from Honii lulu. Nahiku Lands. There is a moist and fertile section above the sheltered landing at Nahiku, eight miles north ol the east end of Maui, where Government lands have lately been bringing high prices at auction. A tract of heavy forest in the upper part indicates rich soil withnut ravines, probably covered with fertile ashes from the great cinder cones to the eastward. This will no doubt become an important coffee district. Olaa Coffee Growers. From the statistics in Thrum's Annual, we gather that the number of separate coffee farms in Olaa proper is I 13, lying along the volcano road from the 11th to the 21th mile from Hilo, or from 100(1 to 2l0() leet ab.ive the sea. Twenty-three of these appear to be in Asiatic hands ; the rest in European or American. Theie are in all 21,967 acres, giving an average size of farm of I 54 acres, ranging from Into IXSO acres. Of this area, only 53 12 acres are yet planted to coffee, averaging 37 acres each. Only 1314 acres are over three years old, or of good bearing age. It is about six years since planting began on the Vol cano road. Among the largest growers are R. Rycroft, Olaa Coffee Co., and Kilauea Coffee Co. Waimea, the wild cattle had destroyed nearly the whole of the smaller bush which had covered the Waimea plains. The writer remembers in 1536 passing through such low forest for over a mile before reaching Mr. Lyons' house from K.twaihae, and that it extended thence nearly unbroken to Maunakea. In 1H55, before sheep had been introduced there, that plain was almost wholly denuded of bush, by the agency of cattle alone. Since cattle do browse upon young koa, but not at all upon ohia, they probably are more destructive to koa forest than to the latter. There are many extensive tracts, once moist but now subject to drought, on all the islands, which need to have their upper portion reforested in order to re store their ancient fertility. Kohala, Hamakua, Kula and Ka.inapah are ex amples. The swindler known here as Julien D. Hayne, but latterly passing as James I). Hallen, is under arrest in New Yotkfor swindling a lady client of $ 6,000. He extracted more than that from the widow lady with him here whom he had inveigled into a bigamous marriage. She and her son have gone on to New York to have him duly punished. A number of Honolulu people were victimized by his arts. The Planters' Monthly prints Dr. Maxwell's report of the Experimental Station conducted for the Planters' Association. It gives an imposing impression of the extent, variety and importance of the trials there conducted with great care and precision, in respect to the planting, culture and irrigation of sugar cane, and of the effects of fertilizers. Certainly the management of a sugar plantation calls fur a high oiderot skill and science. To these is due the steady increase in average yields of plantations in Hawaii. The class room of a certain famous professor of Greek at one time in Glasgow College, was directly under that of the professor oflogi?, and the energy of the gestures and actions of this latter professor caused little bits of plaster to fall on the Greek professor's desk. One day when more than the usual quantity of plaster had fallen, the Greek professor paused in his lecture to observe "Prof. 's (naming the logic professor) conclusions are bringing down my premises." Our collection of Irish bulls is growing rapidly.

Probably they are far less destructive than sheep, which browse off all undergrowth clean and close. This lays bare the roots of the trees and so destroys them. In this manner nearly the whole of the dense forest belt between Hainakua and Waimea was long since exterminated by the Waimea flocks of sheep.

The United States are imperatively confronted with the question, What is to be done with the Philippines? There are some great perplexities and difficul- Life and Light of the Lord Jesus Christ. If they can receive His Light and Power, they will be transformed into a Christian people, pervaded by elevated and righteous aspirations. They would be a changed race, with a new capacity for maintaining worthy government, and high civilization. This effectual remedy for civil and social degradation it is now made the especial province of the American churches to apply to the Philippine Islanders. And the Hawaiian churches, by greater proximity, are called to no small share in that work. It will be a work long, toilsome, arduous, but most fruitful. It will be a labor of many generations before well established results are attained, yet one in which much fruit can soon be gathered. We believe that American Christians will see the imperative duty of this task, and will address themselves to it with determination. We look for strong bands of consecrated men and women soon to go as missionaries to the various tribes in those Islands, and show them the right way of the Lord. In the presence of such bodies of disinterested and devoted spiritual laborers, there will be to the civil administrators from America, both a wholesome check upon misconduct, and an inspiring incentive to disinterested and humane exertion for the good of the people under their care. In India, Christian missionaries once hated and repelled by the officials of the Last India Company,have so vindicated and proved their worth, that now the Government of India counts their services as of the highest value in promot ing the intelligent and orderly co-operation of the native people. So in the Philippines an American Civil Administration needs to be accompanied by the uplifting spiiitual power of Kvangelical Christian missionaries. In such help lies the best hope of American success in this new task. ties in the problem, such as one can hardly see any clear solution of. Apparently our country has put itself under obligation to provide adequately good Government for the people of that group. That is likely to be a difficult, probably a costly undertaking. The character of the people is such as absolutely to forbid the thought of annexing them as citizens of the United States, even if their remoteness permitted it. The two alternatives seem to be, to establish them under some form of selfgovernment, under the protective control of the United States, or else to govern them directly by Imperial power, as Lngland does India. Loth of these methods involve grave difficulties and perhaps fatal objections. We do not see through them. There is one, and only one adtquate remedy that, if effectually applied, would remove all difficulties. That is, to thoroughly evangelize the people of the Philippines. They are ignorant, dc P graded, superstitious, largely pagan, aAf itrs onape. and incapable of social combination foi Our news from Ponape is meager. It wise and righteous government.

The massacre is most regrettable, but it was only what was to have been expected, after the long-continued oppressions and outrages of the Spaniards. The Ponapeans are greatly favored by Providence in having among them a leader and ruler of such ability, intelligence and moral worth as Nanpei. His personal influence among the people is very great. It is sure to be exerted to the utmost in maintaining Christian civilization and repressing heathen excesses. There seems now to be no father danger that Spain will seek to recover her authority in the Caroline islands. That would require the maintenance of garrisons of several thousand soldiers, of a cruiser and two gunboats, and of a naval station, all involving heavy expense and no income in return. The piesent probability is that Spain will sell the Carolines to Germany. That power would not seriously interfere with our prosperous American missions there of nearly fifty years' standing. TheMorning Star, leaving here for the Caroline Islands about April Ist, will in due time restore our interrupted intercourse. Meantime, our beloved missionaries have endured much isolation, together with wearing anxiety, on account of the war, which so closely concerned them. Growth of Central Union Church. Various annual reports of the work of this church have been read at recent meetings. The membership had increased during 1898, from 543 to 574. The report of the Church Treasurer, which relates to the Benevolent work of the church, showed receipts $5,213-.69, and disbursements $5,002.3 J. These receipts are from the collections at moining and evening worship, amounting at present at about $100 each bath. The report of the Treasurer of the received, and $7,358.00 expended. These are the expenses of maintaining public worship, including pastor's salary $4,500. The estimate of such expenses for 1899, is trustees shows $8,381.74 $8,303. The average attendance at Sunday School has been 358. �10 THE FRIEND. [February, 1899. Mrs. Sarah Andrews Thurston.

Nearly all of that, however, was formerly the land of chiefs who left no immediate heirs, or else was government land, bought in open market. Some of the sons of missionaries are wealthy. They have become so honorably, by enterprise and industry. They are most affectionately inclined towards the natives, and benevolent contributors to their well-being in a remarkable degree. The Christian people of Hawaii are notable, beyond those of any olher country,for their munificent beneficence, in which the descendants of missionaries take the lead, as they ought. The decay and continued decrease of the Hawaiian natives is a distressing fact. It began with the first visits of foreigners. Christianity failed to arrest it, although it materially checked the decrease, which still continues. A thorough adoption into domestic life of the ethics of Christian civilization would remedy the evil; but of this there is little hope. It would have been a delightful success of missionary labor, had the people been redeemed from wasting away. Had they been like Tonga, isolated from contact with corrupting for eigners, that result would probably have been attained. As it is, the chief lasting result of missionary labor in Hawaii has been the permanent establishment of a strong and active Christian civilization, having power to mould and shape all the diverse races immigrating hither, and to make this a Christian country of the highest order. Hawaii is, through mis sionary effort, a powerful stronghold of Christian light and influence in this mid Pacific. Dedication of Catholic Church. On the 15th took place the dedication of a Roman Catholic Church recently completed at Kealahou, Kula on Maui. Nearly 800 were said to be present. The Bishop confirmed 100 children. The population of Kula is largely Portuguese, industrious farmers. We believe that there are no Catholic priests here who speak Portuguese. It seems doubtful whether those Kula people can receive much religious instruction, even of the Catholic sort. Of course their children are taught English in a Gov ernment school. A Sad Tragedy. That was a terrible affair at the Ka- mehameha School when Grace Beckley flung herself to instant death from a third story window. She had left the school in ill health, and returned for her things. She was undoubtedly in sane. The strongest sympathy is felt for the girl's relatives, as well as for the teachers and pupils of the school, who sustained so fearful a shock. 11 THE FRIEND. Triolets.

The Friend ventures the opinion that the best possible site will be upon some portion of the rising ground not over a mile above the Railway between Puuloa station and Moanalua. It should be not far from the railway, to facilitate transportation. It should be not less than four or five miles from the center of the town, which will doubtless grow to a city of 100,000, extending three miles each way. It should also be within easy reach of irrigation, in order It should to be properly beautified. also have room to an extent of 500 acres at least. All these conditions are available on the site now suggested, and no where else. The noted Father Chiniquy died January 16, in Montreal, in his 90th year. For forty years he had been a most vigorous adversary of the Roman Catholic Church, in which he had been a priest for 25 years, and had noted its corruptions. He once visited Honolulu. He gave the impression of a devoted spirit, but of the aggressive cast, in temper and language, of such men as Father Yorke, rather than the milder and more decorous tone educated among Protestants. Mr. Gilman's Good Services. It seems in place to notice again the excellent missionary work done in behalf of Hawaii ir) New England and New York, by the Hon. Gorham D. Gilman of Newton, Hawaiian Consul-General for New England. The latest report of such work is of an "informal talk" by Mr. Gilman before the Eliot Club Dec. 19th, effectively illustrated by numerous views on a screen. Thetalk, as reported, took a wide range, filled with accurate and graphic statements. Mr. Gilman is an expert lecturer on this subject. He resided here from 1841 to 1861, visiting us again in 18. 4. No man has done so much to impart correct knowledge of Hawaiian affairs to the people of his region. Professor C. H. Hitchcock, L.L.D. This distinguished geologist is spending part of a year's furlough in Hawaii, having previously visited us in 1883 and 1886. He has just returned from an absence of three months in the Southern hemisphere, visiting Fiji, Australia and New Zealand, in the latter Islands studying glaciers and volcanic phenomena. He declares the New Zealand glaciers far to exceed of those of Switzerland. Although so greatly interested in volcanoes, for the study of which he is here, Dr. Hitchcock's chief distinction has been gained in the study of phenomena at the other extreme of temperature, the glaciers. He has done more work on glacial phenomena in America than any other person, and was the first to locate and demonstrate the great Terminal Moraine in Long Island, which clue others followed out to the westward into Dakota. The Doctor's., largest publication is his three volumes of Report as State Geologist of New Hampshire, a copy of which is in the library of our Government Survey, including a splendid Atlas. He has been for thirty years Professor of Geology in Dartmouth College, where the immense geological collections are his work.

Such invitation is in these days rightly made much broader and more open than formerly. Some pastors go so far as to invite every one to partake who "loves the Lord Jesus Christ." While not attaching extreme importance to the subject, we should prefer to be more explicit, as by adding to "loves," the words "and trusts." Many graduates of Williams greatly love Mark Hopkins. Some of us have a very tender feeling towards Abraham Lincoln. But the attitude of the soul which is due to outLord, is more than a sentiment of regard or esteem, however tender. There should be the yielding to him of the will in trustful surrender. May not so indefinite an invitation as the above become a means of misleading some who have merely a sentimental admiration of Jesus of Nazareth, to believe that they are truly Christians ? "Take my yoke and follow me," is his command. The soul must be the bride of Christ, united to him as the branch to the vine. The true love that He calls for, means all this. He must be Lord and center of the soul. The Lord's Supper, worthily set forth, is a solemn and meaning ordinance. That table is not to be lightly approached. An attempt is now apparently becoming successful to fasten upon the Government of the United States an act of the deepest infamy, which it should be the urgent effort of every patriotic American, who has any regard for the honor of his country, to avert. As the case now stands, those Chinese residents who lately returned here, after visiting their native land, with return permits issued by the Hawaiian Government before annexation, are forbidden to enter their homes, and are ex eluded as aliens, on the ground that United States law now invalidates those Hawaiian permits and renders them void. Our last issue reported the wise and equitable decision of the Chief Jus tice that the Newland Act could not be interpreted retrospectively, unless so ex plicitly stated, and therefore the return permits issued previous to annexation remained valid. Now that decision has been reversed by the other two judges. We have been unable, in the mass of their prolix verbiage, to understand the grounds of so inequitable a decision. It seems to us to savor of cold blooded cruelty and inhumanity, as well as ot It indicates narrow ulter injustice. technical construction, instead of breadth and equity of mind. By that decision a large number ol worthy and honest Chinamen are dc barred from returning to their homes and business in Hawaii, uson the flim siest pretext. In some cases it appears that husbands and wives are separated. and the women driven to desperation and probable suicide. Such treatment is infamous in no narrow sense or lim ited degree. If carried out, it will fix a dark and ineradicable stain of shame upon the American Government and its heartless officials. The case of ihese deeply wronged people is now being carried before the Secretary of the Treasu ry. We feel a strong assurance that he, at least, will have such sense of honor, as well as of rectitude, as to revets; the action taken here, and confirm the val idity of the Hawaiian permits. More About the Theater. Our good neighbor of the Advertiser is grieved at the "bigotry" of The Friend in retaining some of the oldtime prejudice of our Missionary Fathers against the theater. Here then is something more to afflict our neighbor's sensibilities. In a Methodist paper of high standing lately appears a New Year story of a man who, in a dream, is confronted with the ghastly shade of his last New Year's resolutions. "You promised to exclude impute thoughts from yourmind. But how have you done? You have, constantly attended the theater, and saturated your mind with vile and salacious images, until your whole soul is foul." There are theaters and theaters, p bly there is 'I'nWpnrf between the ilwuse ami the Oi11..HU1U1U Opcia Joseph T. Smith. pheum. We are not well informed as to that.

Smith was among those who fled from Utah. He then passed some months very quietly among the Mormons at Laic. Presumably, Mr. Smith's present errand is to help in deciding upon the political attitude to be taken by the Mormons in Hawaii under the coming Territorial Government. They are numerous enough to form an element for the consideration of the political bosses. No doubt they will be capably handled by their superiors. More About Julien D. Hayne. This uncommon villain was so conspiin Honolulu that The Friend puts on record a few particulars developed his recent trial and conviction. His stealings are estimated at about $200,000. The one on which he was convicted was the forgeiy, in 189-1, of a mortgage for $10,500, which he sold to Mrs. Florence Cauldwell of N. Y. City. He had much fascination of manner, and victimized several women, both maidens and widows, by marrying them for the purpose of gaining possession of their property. He also indulged in smaller stealings from poor as well as wealthy victims Towards those who mistrusted his character he manifested much malignity. cuous It is rather a coincidence that just at this time is announced the reappearance of a somewhat similar, and if possible, a worse wretch, the "Reverend" Bill Hammond, who also flourished in Honolulu a few years ago under the guise of a Baptist preacher and anti popery emissary. Hammond now turns up in Havana in full activity. He, too, is a plunderer of many wives, "leading cap tive silly women," but with a tongue .mil voice of unlimited gall for his dis trusters. The editor has the satisfaction of having detected the spurious character of both these wretches very early after introduction to them. Par nobile Pratrnm\ Sale of Coffee Plantation. The coffee plantation of Mr. Zimmerman at Olaa is repoited as sold for $20,-000 to C. S. Shanklin of Chicago. There are 200 acres, half of which is planted. There are 26 acres of three year old trees, in bearing. Mr. Zimmerman will proceed to develop his other coffee lands. Both parties are considered to have made profitable deals. �Kaimuki Residence Tract. A genuinely judicious enterprise has been shown by Gear, Lansing & Co., in opening and putting Ml the market building lots in this eligible section. This tract is perhaps three fourths ol I mile square, west of the ridge between Diamond Head and Waialae road, form ing a slope from 100 to -TiO feet above the sea. It is swept by the fresh breeze from Palolo valley, anil commands a noble view of the city, valleys and ocean. With ri'rh soil, but utteily arid. it is being copiously supplied with watei forced up from artesian wells on the town side. Five miles from the city, it will be connected by electric cars. Already the rocks and lantatvi thickets are being cleared from the numerous streets running each way, and dividing the tract into convenient blocks. The residents Can indulge in ornamental rock piles as large as sheds. Many people will find this locality exactly to suit their tastes, (juite a number have already selected their bonus there.

The little K.iimuki crater back of Diamond Head, at a lecent period emitted a flood of clinker lava coveting some two square miles of land, and blocking the Palolo stream, which finally tore its way through a curious black chasm now buried in foliage, lying between the town end of Waialae road anil the mountain.

It has now been purchased for the Bishop Museum by Mr. Charles R. Bishop. Mr. Thrum has on hand materials which will go far towards making a second collection, but less complete. The editor is no philatelist, but there is doubtless money in that pursuit. Several years ago we sold to a collector a 13-cent stamp for $50. It is said now to be worth $1000.

At the same rate, the united national and municipal annual income of the United States would be $1,500,000,090. Is it as much as that? Yet our taxation and customs duties are much lighter than on the Mainland. Electric Power from Water at Hilo. Mr. C. S. Desky is reported as stating that he has completed arrangements for utilizing the fall in the great Wailuku stream at Hilo, so as to develop 10,000 horse power. It is not stated to what use so much power can profitably be ap plied. Hilo seems likely to have all the electric light and traction needed. There are many other streams with great fall in the Hilo district. It would seem that there ought soon to be a railway to Hamakua operated by electric power. Hilo is a field of splendid possibilities. Farming Association at Wahiawa. Wahiawa is a section of the elevated plateau between Ivwa and Waialua, which comprises some 40,000 acres of level country lying from 700 to 1000 feet above the sea. Between the forks of the Kaukonahua stream lies a tract of some 1400 acres, which has lately been occupied by an association of practical farmers, consisting of fourteen men with families from California. Separate lots are assigned to each man. Various trades and professions are represented among the members. They purpose to raise fruits and vegetables for the California market, in part. We believe that hay for this market would be a paying product. These farms are eight miles down hill to the Railway. There seems no good reason why that plateau should not suppoit 500 or 000 good farms. The rain sup1 ply averages good for half the year, say 50 inches.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Board, is responsible for its conients. Rev. O. P. Emerson. - Editor. The following is clipped from the Congregationalist of Jan. ftth : Latest news from the Ladrone and the Caroline Islands till of revolts at Guam and at Ponape. At the formet island the authority of Francis Portusach, selected by the Americans to up hold American authority last summer, when the cruiser Charleston awed the Spanish garrison into submission, was quickly disputed and overthrown as socn as the cruiser departed. At Ponape there would seem to have been an uprising of the natives against the Spanish garrison and priests, the victory of the former resulting in a massacre. The new ruler is Henry Nanapei, by far the ablest of the natives, who was educated in the Protestant schools and is a man of marked ability, well known to the officials of the American Board. Spain, if she insists upon retaining the Carolines, will probably avenge this massacre, which means disaster to Protestant interests. The transfer of the Carolines to Germany or the Unit-d States would save Spain much expenditure, for which she gets no return, and would put an end to the religious feuds which now ravage the island of Ponape. The following has been received from a young Chinese woman who is a teacher of our Board employed by Mr. Damon: Mission School, N. Kohala, H. I, Jan. 19, '99. To Hawaiian Board: With pleasure I take this fair opportunity to address a few lines about the Kindergarten department to you in which I am engaged here. I feel very interested in attending this work, for there are such bright pupils. Thus encouraging me confidently to carry on the good work. There are two classes promoted last September to Miss Whiteman's room. One class is now reading in First Reader, and the other class probably will begin the First Reader in Spring; and still there are seventeen pupils remaining in my room Some of them are heathen children, these little people are sent to us to learn English, and it gives an opportunity for us in teaching of the Savior. The majority, however, come from the Christian Chinese homes, which shows the result of former Christian instructions.

For this home coming of the Kekelas we must prepare a true welcome. Few Hawaiian*, if any, have brought more honor to their people than this veteran couple. For more than fifty years they have been in the work, nearly all of that time (ItJ years) having been spent in the Marquesas. The fame of their good deeds has gone afar. Lincoln honored Kekela for his brave efforts in saving from savages the lives of a boat crew of American sailors. The veterans Kekela and Kauwealoha and Hapuku have seen the taming at their hands of a people who once were savages. Their names are honored in the Marquesas, and the sterling worth of their character is known in Tahiti and throughout the French dominion in the southern and south-eastern Pacific. Kauwealoha is childless, and purposes to stay with his people to the end. Kekela has a large family of children and grand children, and it is by the advice of his friends that he brings a portion of those at the Marquesas back to his na tive land.

The undeveloped resources of our own dom.iin supply a more profitable field for our activities. "1 The island fell to us by hazard of war, and with them certain obligations to ourselves, to foreign nations, and to the inhabitants of the archipelago. "X. It would be cheaper to drop them and ran, but it would also be disgraceful, and would doom the Filipinos to present anarchy and future bondage. "4.

"5. They must never become citizen.of the United States." We shaH hold and rue the Philippine*, not for pleasure or glory, but for duty's sake. "The White Man's Burden." Rudyard Kipling's seven stanzas with this title, form a profoundly earnest but somber appeal, evidently to the Ameri can Nation, in behalf of their duty to the people of the Philippines. Take up the White Man's Burden— Send forth the best ye breed— Go, bind your sons to exile To serve your captives' need; To wait, in heavy harness, On fluttered folks and wild Your new caught sullen peoples, Half devil and half child. sexes, to organise Christian work there.

To noble souls the solemn call to painful duty contains a vastly stronger force than any call to gain or glory. Nelson struck the strongest heart chord, when HtTiafalgar he flung out the signal "England expects every man to do his duty." Words of Newell Dwight Hillis. We give the following excerpt from sermon of Dr. Hillis in Ply- the first mouth Church, as a sample of the st«,le vi th* eloquent successoi of Beechei and Abbott. ConaiiVr Christ's enormous intellectOptimism is consciousual ness f hidden reserves. Pessimism is poveny of -esource. In the hours when vice c hi. " in like flood, when crime and passi ,n arc rampant, when suffer ing seems to sweep over the earth like sheeted storms, men grow discouraged and fall into depression. But Christ stands forth the sublimest optimist in history. Conscious of His vast intellectual reserves, He felt Himself equal to any emergency. The moment when He entered this earthly scene was the darkest moment in history. It was an hour when tyranny and crime had gone upon a carnival. Yet in such an era, when He saw a thousand wrongs to be avenged, Christ maintained His serenity and reigned victorious over life,'s troubles, believing that with God ','a thousand years are as one day." He taught His disciples that God was abroad everywhere, leavening society like yeast; that growth was the genius of the universe; that God can make vices virtues, pains to be medicines, and tears to be joys; that ignorance and sin and lying and uncleanliness shall become extinct like ancient monsters. He was the poet leading men to discern the wisdom of the sage in the prattle oi the child. Looking forward, He saw the vices waning, saw the earth growing roseate with benevolence and love, beheld an era when happiness should be ~ �universal and righteousness native unto young and old alike. Consider Christ's intellectual supremacy as manifested in His statement that the only sure basis of social ad vancement is the progress of the common people. Until His time all philosophers had argued that the only way to elevate the multitude was to strengthen the patrician classes, exalting as leaders the sons of strength, the sons of genius, great generals. But Christ announced a revolutionary principle. He came foward saying that the leader is only a step in advance of the pilgrim band; that the great statesman and deliverer must find in the atmosphere of the people their nourishment and stimulus; that since the people follow best a hero who best understands them, the true leader comes from among the common people, and is lifted up upon their shoulders; and this principle meant more to society than Newton's principle of gravity meant in the movement of the stars and suns. From the very moment that Christ proclaimed the rise and reign of the people, the generations passed under the influence of His great impulse. Thrones began to come down and the people to go up. Social vices began to wane and the virtues to wax. When Christ set a guardian angel beside each sleeping babe, waved the Golden Rule above each law and statute book, and unfurled the flag of equality above the slave market and palace alike, all society felt a new impulse, and the race that hitherto had crept slowly forward climbed into the golden chariot with Christ and swept swiftly on toward those heights where wisdom and happiness do dwell. Christ's thought of God was that of a being clothed with matchless simplicity and beauty. He affirmed that God was man's Father, who had made his earthly child in His own image; that man is a miniature of the Divine Being; that what reason and judgement and memory and love in the small are in man they are in the large in the great Moving on in His thought, God. Christ revealed God as the world's burden-bearer, full of an exquisite kindness and sympathy; that what He was to publican and sinner in Bethlehem, God was for all maimed and wrecked hearts in all worlds; that no human tear falls but God feels it; that no blow smites the suffering heart but God shrinks and suffers; that with wistful longing He follows the publican and the prodigal, waiting for the hour when He may recover the youth to his integrity, or lead the man grown gray in sin to His 1899. induced to submit.

Damon asks The Friend In respect to political concerns he reto make notes of an appeal for relief ports : Report on the Philippines. "While there are doubtless many able men among the Filipinos, I am convinced that they do not have the qualifi cations which are essential in the founders of a republic. This is not surprising to one who knows the history of the Philippines and is familiar with the effects of Spanish misrule for more than three centuries. The natives were little better than savages when the Spaniards came to the istands, and while contact with Europeans has of necessity introduced a higher culture, I believe that if Western influence were to be entirely withdrawn, civilization would spontaneously die out in the Philippines. The mass of the people are ignorant in the extreme, and they are not prepared and will not be prepared for many years for self government. It will be generations before their aspirations to become an independent commonwealth will be realized. It would be monstrous to turn the Philippines back to Spain. It would be a great blunder to grant them independence. In my judgment the only proper, the onlyright thing is for the United States to keep the whole archipelago and give the people good government and religious liberty. Every Spanish friar ought to be banished from the islands. If not, there will be endless trouble. I ought to have said that the Jesuits were never accused of the gross immorality with which the other order* have been so freely charged. They were driven out of the provinces by the other religious corporations, and * * * their work was almost entirely confined to Manila. There is a priest here in Shanghai who was in Manila for many years, and he does not hesitate to say that the lives of the Spanish friars were scandalously corrupt." Unqualified Imperialism. The Sulu Archipelago is a south extension of the great Philippine group, reaching from Mindanao to Borneo. It is stated that President McKinley proposes to continue the power which the Sultan of Sulu has enjoyed under Spain, hereafter to be under Father's house. the sovereignty and protection of the United States. This is highly probable, there being no other form of governvessels arrived from foreign ment to which the Mohammedans and iin February—nearly double the als in January. savages of that extensive group could be Sixty-six [March, THE FRIEND. 18 western sent by a committee of the 118 mission- aries in the province of Shantung, China. A large section of that populous province has lately been laid waste by excessive floods of the Yellow River. Besides the wide spread destruction of homes, it is estimated that two millions of people are starving. "Living in straw huts, many have absolutely no shelter, subsisting on bark, willow twigs, roots, etc." This printed appeal is addressed especially to the charitable in America, but it is hoped that friends in Hawaii will aid. "Shantung is peculiarly interesting to American merchants as the best market for their products in all China." The relations of Hawaii with those great provinces tend yearly to draw more Rev. Hunter Corbett writes to Mr. Damon : "The overturning at Peking sent a hostile wave all over the land. Two Catholic priests and two Protestant missionaries and a number of native Christians have been murdered. Others have had their homes burned and been com pellet! to flee for their lives. Wcaie now anxious with reference to our mission at Ichowfu, in this province. Some of the stations have been attacked by mobs, and the country is in a state of semi rebellion. * * Our work is very encouraging.

All the pupils pay for boarding and tuition—and the Chinese friends of the school, not yet church members, have given the money to erect fine buildings for the school." This statement may as well be added from the appeal for the starving : "The natives are doing all in their power. One firm in Chefoo has contributed the equivalent of $70,000 U. S. gold in cash and 10,000 bags of corn, and all classes are contributing; but let us not forget that two millions of people are starv- ing." Mr. F. W.

H. I. 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. 0. P. Emerson, - Editor. Ponape, Nov. 28, 1898. Rev. O. P. Emerson Respected Sir— I am instructed by Mr. H. Nanpei, who is, I am sorry to say, still held in captivity by the Spanish authorities here on Ponape. It is now just six months since Nanpei, with his wife and five children, were taken captives and confined in a cold, damp room to eke out their existence as best they could. And all for what ? Simply because they were Protestants and refused to become Catholics. Nanpei has indeed had a very hard time of it. He was not permitted to see any of his friends, neither was he allowed to write or receive any letters. On one occasion he, Nanpei, asked one of the officials why it was he could not write to or see any of his friends. "Well," replied the Captain, "the Governor was going to release you, but now he cannot do it because the Spanish and Americans are at war." Nanpei said, "What have I got to do with the war ?" "Oh," said the Captain, "you are too much of an American. You like the American missionaries too much, and the American people, too, and now you have got to remain here until we whip the Americans, and then you may be allowed to go." I wish to say that those priests have been after Nanpei for months prior to this outbreak, to get him to renounce his faith. They have held out all sorts of inducements to him, but he will not and cannotdo that. Those astute priests know very well that Nanpei is the only and principal obstacle in their way, and which I am inclined to say is quite true. However, Nanpei will not yield one iota. He believes, heart and soul, in the faith which he has received from the American missionaries. There is no wavering and no flinching with Nanpei, and it is my candid belief that had this man Nanpei been educated in America or elsewhere he would have been an ex ceedingly clever man. I have worked seven years for this man Nanpei, and I know him thoroughly. I have always found him to be truthful, and he will keep his promise at no matter what cost to himself. I firmly believe, also, that Nanpei is a true Christian, who makes it the rule of his life to do good and forego evil. I have found, also, that Nanpei is a man that is capable of tremendous opposition if any one manifests a desire to interfere with his rights, hence all this trouble. Nanpei claims that religion is a strictly private affair, : 23 THE FRIEND. Vol. 57, No. 3.] in which no one has a right to interfere. The antipathy and hatred that those priests manifest towards the Protestants here is something intense. Nanpei has not only had to battle and contend against the Governor and ten priests, but against two thirds of the island besides, so you may easily imagine the sort of time he has had of it. Several meetings have been held during his confinement for the purpose of finding out the best and surest way of disposing of Nanpei. The priests and the majority of the Catholic natives said, "Kill him !" Others said, "Crucify him !" and others again said, "Confiscate all he's got and exile him !" Now, sir, is this not a most scandalous piece of inhumanity for those priests who pretend to be God-fearing and Christian men to talk about killing a man because he does not believe as they do ? And mark my words, they would have done so if this Spanish and Amer ican war had not cropped up. This and nothing else has saved Nanpei from death or banishment from his island. Nanpei informs me that the Spanish at present are a little more ltnient towards him. He and his family are now permitted to take a stroll every day. He says it is quite a luxury to be able to get the sunshine and fresh air. Now, after being imprisoned for six months, and receiving at the hands of his would be murderers the shabbiest and meanest kind of treatment, now just let us see how Nanpei has been reveng cd. For the last three months the Spanish have had little or no food—in fact, a famine was inevitable. Now, where is the supply to come from ? Nanpei! That's so ! Nanpei sent an order to his people to bring cattle, pigs, yams, bread fruit, sugar cane, rice and bananas, which they did in abundance. My dear sir, this is the way our warmhearted and generous friend deals with his enemies. Are they not ashamed ? Is not this act of forgiveness and generosity onNanpei's part enough to make Christians of these priests ? I should imagine so; but my opinion is, nothing can change their evil and wicked hearts. They belong soul and body to his Sa tanic majesty, the Evil One. It is reported here that the Spanish have to give up the islands. We sincerely hope that it may be true. If they are permitted to be remain they would, I am sure, exterminate all who refused to come to the Catholic ban. The people are in hopes that the Americans will take control of the islands for missionary purposes. The natives have a tearful dread of the Germans getting possession. They claim it will be like jump ing out of the frying pan into the fire. A German man of war has been prowling about here for the last three months. This is why they are so dubious. I may say, and I speak from experience, that the people here at Ponape just love and adore the American people—in fact they like everjthing that is American. The people are praying daily and blessing God for their deliverance. Some two months ago the priests got up a sort of a story among the Catholic natives and told that the Spanish with four men of-war had taken New York, and that the Americans were scared to death and were now sueing for peace. We hope in a week or two to have Nanpei here with us. While I am writing this a Japanese trading vessel has just arrived. She brings news of the war being over. I am, sir, your obedient servant, Henry Beaumont. Chinese Element at Manila. A most suggestive fact, in connection with the coming evangelization of the Philippines, is the presence there of a considerable Chinese element. Those people are likely to be quite accessible to the Gospel, the more so that they are somewhat isolated among races strange to them. It seems quite certain that under the mild and just American regime, the immigration of Chinese will be very large. They will be greatly needed for their skill and industry. China is near by and crowded. They will swarm over to the Philippine ports, just as they now do to Singapore and the Straits settlements. They will absorb many branches of the industry of the Islands. Thtre will be no motive for Americans to exclude them, as there is no white labor for them to compete with, all the industries of the country being carried on by the colored races. The American ruling racewill need them on account of their diligence, exactness and general business capacity, in which the Filipinos are generally lacking. Their assistance in developing the resources of the country will be essential and invaluable. The Chinese are the best possible immigrants for the purpose of improving and breeding up uncivilized races. The thoroughness and intensity of their civilized and industrial characteristics supplement the defects of the backward races in a way that no other civilized race is capable of doing. It would be one of the greatest of blessings to the Filipinos to become part Chinese. There is therefore to be a strong ten-, dency to a large movement of Chinese to that group. An important branch of the missionary work there will be for their conversion to Christ. Perhaps no better agents in such work can be found than devoted young Chinese who have. enjoyed such a mixed American and Chinese education as Mr. Damon is giving in Mills Institute. The American element in their education would be of peculiar value under the American political and business rule in Manila. S. E. B. �24 March, 1899. THE FRIEND.

"Well now, I'll tell yer what yer does when yer comes to see me. You takes that stool, d'y see? You sits down, reads me a Psalm—mind, a short Psalm. You gives me a shilling, and then ye can go." A special young man confronted an old Cjuaker with the statement that he did not believe in the Bible. The Cjuaker said: "Dost thou not believe in France?" "Yes, though I have not seen it I have seen others that have; besides there is plenty of corroborative proof that such a country does exist." >o ORDWAY * & * PORTER. « IMPORTERS of—— FURDITURe, add UPROLSCeRY BeDDinc Cor.

China, with its three hundred millions of men so capable, and to so high a degree civilized, as to indicate a coming position scarcely second to that of Europe, is evidently to become speedily the chief storm center of the political world. No less must it become the leading object of evangelizing labor. The greatest aim of the Christian churches in the opening twentieth century must be to endow that vast and capable population with the blessed grace of God in Christ Jesus to make them children of God and true brothers of mankind. We Christians of Hawaii have manifestly a prominent part in this majestic and angelic duty. Our propinquity, our great wealth, our advanced civilization and active evangelizing spirit combine The Morning Star Again Cruising We rejoice, both for ourselves and for our missionary friends in the islands beyond, to see our missionary steamer, the Morning Star, once more on her voyage, after a year's suspension of work, on account of the Spanish war. She comes from San Francisco, where she has been thoroughly repaired and renovated, in excellent condition, and loaded with needed supplies for the various missions in the Caroline, Gilbert and Marshall Islands. How delightful will be the joy of the dear friends there again to see their beloved ship ! Mrs. Logan's letter in this issue tells something of their disappointment last year.

The following pregnant sentences culled from President McKinley's Boston address of February 16th, doubtless voice the best and most intelligent sentiment in the United States upon the Philippine problem : "There was but one alternative, and that was filled in the expulsion of Spanish sovereignty from their islands, and while the war that destroyed it was in progress, we could not ask their views. Nor can we now ask their consent. "Indeed, can any one tell me in what form it could be marshalled and ascertained until peace and order, so necessary to the reign of reason, shall be secured and established. A reign of terror is not the kind of rule under which the right' action and deliberate judgment are possible. It is not a time for the liberator to submit important questions concerning liberty and government to the liberated while they are engaged in shooting down their rescuers. "I have no light or knowledge not common to my countrymen. Ido not prophesy. The present is all-absorbing to me, but I cannot bound my vision by the bloodstained trenches around Manila, where every red drop, whether from the veins of an American soldier or a misguided Filipino, is anguish to my heart; but by the broad range of future years, when the group of islands, under the impulse of the year just past, shall have become the gems and glories of these tropical seas, a land of plenty and of increasing possibilities, a people redeemed from savage indolence and habits, devoted to the arts of peace, in touch with the commerce and trade of all nations, enjoying the blessings of freedom, of civil and religious liberty, of education and of homes, and whose children and children's children shall for ages hence bless the American Republic because it emancipated and redeemed their falherland and set them in the pathway of the world's best civili- Rev. C. H. Yatman, whose labors were so acceptable here three years ago, has again spent a fortnight in Honolulu, speaking about thirty times, the Methodist church being the central point of his labors.

The Star left us or> Monday, March 7, and on Friday of that same week Moses and I started for Mortlock, going first to Losap and Nama. With head wind and choppy sea, that day and night were a time of misery, and we were glad to make anchor safely just at night on Saturday. It required no little exertion to go on shore and hold services the next morning, but we had a good day there. Harry and Orpah seem to be earnest and true, and are in earnest in trying to do a real work for their people. Monday was spent at the out station, Peas, a few miles away. It is pretty dark and heathenish there yet. We ran some ten miles to Nama next day, and Moses and I landed, while the schooner lay off and on. We had service in the morning, and Moses held the communion service in the afternoon, baptizing some children and marrying three couples. Sailing late, the wind not allowing a stop at Namaluk, We went straight for Mortlock. I cannot bring myself to write much about that visit at Mortlock. Compared with the one which Mr. Price and I made a year and a half ago, it was inexpressibly sad. The enemy has been busy here sowing seeds of dissension and all sorts of evil. My heart was filled with sorrow * and indignation to see these poor people who were just finding their way into the light, so led astray. Moses and I did our best at every place in our talks to them, and in some places we telt that we made a real impression for gocd, but their ears will undoubtedly be soon filled again with falsehoods. We were away sixteen days, reaching RukMar.27. The little ship is a valuable part of our equipment for work, but whoever puts to sea in her must expect to be seasick, and to encounter the immense cockroaches which inhabit every part of * her. The girls ran down the hill to meet ms as I landed, and soon Beulah came out to meet me. They soon told me of the death of Ruth. She was one of the original nine girls at the beginning of the school in 1889. She married one of the young men in the Training School, and they went to work in the Mortlock Islands, but later returned to Ruk. She and her husband came to live with Mr. and Mrs. Price soon after they reached Ruk and have remained with them ever since. Through the birth, sickness and death ofboth their little ones, Ruth was a tower of strength and a loved and loving friend. In going away it had been a great comfort to Mrs. Price that Ruth had promised that she and Kilion would stay with Mr. Price and do for him the many things which no one else among the natives so well understood. THE FRIEND. She was taken suddenly ill with brain fever and only lived four days. She felt from the first that she should die, but death had no terror for her. Through all the terrible pain she sang and prayed and praised God. Her death was indeed triumphant and the sweet smile nn her face after the spirit had taken its flight betokened the rest and peace into which she had entered. Her heathen mother and brothers came and tried to take her away, even when she was too sick to be moved ; but to all their solicitations her constant reply was, "Jesus doesn't want me to go with you; I do not want to go." They behaved more like raging maniacs and wild beasts than like human beings and greatly increased Ruth's sufferings. The greatest trial of all was that they persuaded Ruth's sister Clara, who had been in the school seven years, and was recently married to a fine Christian young man, to leave all and go with them. When they had reached the shore and were about to get into the ca noe, Clara hesitated (as well she might) and her brother seized her by her hair and threw her on board the canoe. The saddest part was that she really need not have gone, had she not chosen, but it would seem that so strong are their desires at times for the old heathen life that they will return to it in the face of every persuasion and argument which we can bring. Calls for the light are coming from other parts of the lagoon. A few months ago Mr. Price -Jocated two families on the island of Fairuk, where there has never before been any missionary. The people seem to listen gladly and the outlook is hopeful. Just now there come calls from two places on the island of Utet, and Mr. Price has taken four families and located them there. Word comes back that they are anxious for teaching all over that island. We are glad and thankful for these open doors. Our school goes on as usual these days with our girls and a goodly number of outside scholars, part of them from the Training School, part from people outside. Occasionally we are made hopeful and happier than usual by some special indication of growth or thoughtfulness among the girls, and perhaps almost as often we are saddened by some unlooked for defect in some one of whom we had hoped better things, and we are forcibly reminded that all our outside work for them is in vain unless there is a deep work of grace in their hearts. June 10.—I must tell you a little about our White Ribbon Society which was started a few weeks ago. These people, like all heathen people, I suppose, are vile beyond expression in their conversation, and we sometimes think that it is almost more strange for them to tell the truth than to tell a lie—perhaps another version of the old proverb that 'Truth is stranger than fiction." [April, 1899 Some occurrences brought to our minds a little more forcibly and startlingly than usual the thought that we ought to be doing something more directly to show them the evil of this and to check it. So at Mr. Price's suggestion Mrs. Foster and Beulah took hold of it and formed a society which they named "Children of Joseph,'' the members of which promise to abstain from lying and from using vile language. They are provided with bows made of muslin and white cloth. We had no white ribbon, and there is no place here to get any. Moreover there is an advantage in the muslin in that it can be washed, and that is important heie. If they have kept their pledge during the week they wear the white bow to church and Sunday School on Sunday. It is six weeks now since the movement began, and it seems to be making quite a reform. Our girls seem very much interested and are doing well in keeping their pledges.

November 24. —We have been more completely shut off from the outside world than usual. Captain Melander, who usually comes to us once in four or five months, and at least brings us news from the friends at Kusaie, has not been here since March. He came once as near as Losap, and left a short letter there for Mr. Price saying that he was forbidden to come to Ruk by the Spanish Governor at Ponape, and also forbidden to tell the reason why, but that we would learn about it btfore long. A Japanese trading schooner brought us no mail, but told us that there was war between the United States and Spain. Farther than this we had no news save that word finally came from Ponape (I do not recall how it came) that when Captain Melander returned to Ponape, his vessel was taken by the Spanish and he made a prisoner. Also that Henry Nanpei was in prison there, and it was feared that the Spanish would kill him. • We closed school August Ist, hoping to see the Star before we should begin another term, but when she had not come early in September we began again, because it is always a necessity to keep our scholars fairly busy. The days passed away and we finished a term of six weeks, and still no Star and no word from anywhere. We began to have a real shut in feeling. Surely something was happening somewhere in the great world. Were there stirring events of which we knew nothing ? Who could tell ? Had our Morning Star been captured by the Spanish at Kusaie ? In that case would we ever get our mail ? What would we do for supplies ?

It is our sad task to record the untimely death, on March 6th, of the Princess Victoria Kaiulani Cleghorn, who was the sole surviving heiress of the Kalakaua family, after her aunt, the exQueen Liliuokalani. The Princess had for several weeks been suffering from inflammatory rheumatism, contracted during a visit to Hon. Samuel Parker's place, on Hawaii. The malady finally involved the heart, with fatal result. Kaiulani was the only child of the late Princess Miriam Likelike, sister of Kalakaua and wife of Hon. Arch. S. Cleg horn. She was born Oct. 16, 1875. At the age of fourteen she was taken to England to be educated, having at home received the training of English govern esses. In England she enjoyed the best educational and social advantages for a period of seven years. When the mon archy was overthrown, in 1893, her guardian, Mr. Davies, promptly brought her from England to Washington,where she made a most favorable impression on Mrs. Cleveland, and doubtless contributed to influence the President's efforts to restore the monarchy here. Returning home in October, 1897, the Princess pursued a quiet and modest course apart from from politics, and won general esteem. Her charming home at Waikiki, Ainahau, developed and beautified by the taste of Gov. Cleghorn, added to her social attractions. The Princess was active in the work of the Hawaiian Relief Society, also in that of the local Red Cross Society, of which she and Mrs. Harold M. Sewall were the two Vice-Presidents. It is matter ofpeculiar sadness to the native Hawaiian people, and calls for our deep sympathy with them, that the leading youthful representative of their race should thus be snatched away. Her fortune was but a small one: A moderate allowance had been made to her by the Republic, and doubtless would have been continued and increased. A public funeral was accorded to the Prin cess by the Government. Her body lay in state in Kawaiahao Church during March 4th, and was visited by an unceasing procession of Hawaiians and foreigners of all classes, who took a last gaze at the pale but natural-looking features, while the mournful kahilis slowly swept in unison above and the aged bards slowly chanted their dirges. On Sunday, the sth, a long procession followed her to the royal mausoleum, escorted by the national guard and the U. S. military and naval forces, with all the wonted magnificence of royal catafalque and kahilis. The procession was thirty-five minutes in passing a given point. The Princess now rests with that great company of the stately Kings, [April. 1899 the employees and the laborers. Yet it is on the whole to be admitted that its abolition is desirable, in accordance with American practice. The immense aggregation of capital in the plantations is liable to act as a money power, impeding proper inspection and due justice to the laborers.

The past month has been remarkable for an unprecedented rise in the prices at which large quantities of shares in a great many of our sugar plantations have been sold. The immediate cause has been the immense dividends distributed by a number of leading plantations, combined with the general confidence felt in the stability of our political and commercial sffairs. The upward tendency has been greatly increased by very heavy purchases made for parties on the Coast. As examples, the shares of Ewa plantation have gone up to 400 per cent, a richly paying plantation ; those of Oahu, adjoining, to 300, a concern that can divide nothing under two years ; those of Waialua, which can pay little under three years, have gone in four months from par to 230. A new concern, Kihei, which will take three years to a dividend, has risen in a month from par to 140 per cent. On the last named a number of small operators have realized large profits. All this has generated a fever of examong both large and small sessors of means. Such a fever canbe wholesome morally or financially, hing has occurred that can properly called stock gambling. Such prolings, however, are liable to occur. So far, experienced business men deem the present prices of plantation shares to be quite within the limit of their value as good investments for capitalists abroad, and such seems to be the opinion of the latter, who are eagerly investing. It is therefore not unlikely that the expansion of values will continue. Some people will probably suffer by a rebound when the limit is reached. Meantime many people are realizing gratifying gains by buying and selling shares. The number of ourmillionaires also seems to be multiplying. All this will prove an evil or a good to the higher interests of the possessors, according as they serve the Lord or Mammon therewith. Iment Maunalei Plantation on Lanai. This new plantation has been fully organized, with a capital of $1,000,009, and a portion of its shares sold. They already command a considerable premium. Manager Lowrie, of Spreckels- ville, gives expert testimony that it will easily make a 10,000-ton plantation. It is located on the north east coast of Lanai, and has 1000 acres of the flats below fifty feet elevation, and 2000 more below 400 feet. The artesian water supply is copious. Soil excellent.

This page is devoted to the interests of tile Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Kilil.ir, ap|H>inted by ihe Board, is resimnsihle for its coim-nts. Rev. 0. P. Emerson, - Editor. The Meeting in Kau. A rain storm and a rough sea would have made the landing of the members of the Hawaii Association at Honuapo a sorry one but for the warm welcome they received on shore, at the hands of the Waiohinu Church people, with whom the meeting was held. Bad as rain was for us travelers, it was good for the thirsty fields, and it made the cane planters rejoice and increased their profits by thousands of dollars. Waiohinu looked beautiful and the uplands of Auaulele were misty with the "driving rain" for which it is made famous in Hawaiian song. It is said that when Keoua went forth from Kahuku on his last journey, to be transfixed at Kawaihae by the spear of Keeaumoku, his faithful attendant sang that touching mele beginning, Kuu haku i ka ua haao c. (My lord of the driving rain.) Hence the name of the church building at Waiohinu, Ka luakini i ka ua haao." We found it in good repair and dressed out in a new coat of paint. Indeed, the good people of Waiohinu seem to have been quickened into new life—not only there, but also in Honuapo, Punaluu and Pahala, the people seem to have taken a step forward. The apana (local) meetings have been revived. Men who had forsaken pastor, Kauhaue, to follow Mormon leaders, have returned to him, and services are again held in the Pahala church. The Mormon leadership on Hawaii, though active in certain centers, does not seem to be strong. Theirs is a difficult proposition, to put the book of Mormon in place of the Bible. It is one that wide-awake, thinking natives will not readily accept. The Mormon appeal has been mainly to the thoughtless and those who do not care what kind of teaching they have, provided it is lenient, easy and not too searching. One of the features of the Association was the address of Rev. Mr. Hill. On Sunday he spoke for an hour, right in the middle of the Sunday School exhi bition, to a crowded house. He told some of the things he had observed during his four years' stay in Utah as a pastor and agent of the Western Educational Commission. He bore witness to the kindness of many of the Mormon people, but exposed the malign power of the Mormon system as hostile to freedom and subversive of democratic gov- " 31 The speaker was listened to intently by many people, some of whom were Mormon in name and to Whom the information given came to arouse thought and serious questionings. To the evening service a wholesome spiritual turn was given by such speak ers as Revs. Hill, Desha and Kfleo. Those influential graduates of Kamehameha, Kauhane and David Ai, were also present to give their aid. We are pleased to note that Mrs. Walton, wife of Manager Walton, of Pahala, has opened her parlors for Sunday afternoon meetings, and it is arranged that Mr. Hill is to conduct them, probably once a month. It is possible that English services may be held once a month or so by Mr. Hill in the Naalehu chapel. The Association examined David Ai and John Samoa, with a view to granting them licenses|to preach. The licenses were granted, to the one for a year and to the other for six months. C. W. P. Kaeo was also licensed for anotheryear. Mr. Hill was put in charge of the native church of Olaa in place of Rev. Kalana, and Stephen Desha was put in charge (Komike) of all the churches ernment. * from Laupahoehoe to Kalapana, with David Ai to help him in their care, it being understood that' when, occasionally, Desha goes the round of these outlying churches, David Ai is to fill Haili pulpit for him. Mrs. Hill has gathered a day schoo' about her, which meets in her house> and which has been recognized, by tht Board of Education as the Upper Olaa government school. Mr. Hill is seeking a site for a chapel which for a time may also serve as a li school house. ! The next meeting of the Association is to be held at Hookena, South Kona, in September. Early on the morning of the 23d of March the Star arrived from San Francisco after a voyage of nineteen days, She brought as passengers bound for the Micronesion field, Mrs. Stimson and three children, and also Miss L. C. Wilson, who, after a year's rest, returns to her place in the Girls' School on Kusone. It is expected that the Star will sail April slh. Lesson of the Kahuku Uprising. Saturday afternoon, March 'jßlh, a Japanese laborer on the Kahuku plantation, Koolau, Oahu, had an altercation with a Chinese fellow laborer on the same plantation, which ended in the receipt of blows from the strong fiats of the Chinaman. Of the merits of this quarrel we have no knowledge whatever. On the dawn of the peaceful Sabbath morning the women and children of the Japanese camp were quietly sent in hiding to other camps or to the sugar mill. Soon after noon, armed with clubs into which iron spikes had been driven, a large band of Japanese fell upon the unsuspecting and unarmed Chinese camp. In a few minutes three Chinese had been beaten to death, while two or three more were left apparently at the point of death. Thanks to the two nineteenth century inventions, the telephone and the railroad, at 1.30 a. m. Monday morning the arrival of the Marshall and an efficient force of armed policemen from Honolulu restored order, and prevented a more even battle, which the Chinamen -were preparing to enter upon at the dawn of Monday morning. There were about 250 men in each of these warring camps. These 500 men were but a portion of the hands employed upon this large and flourishing plantation. It is the policy of the managers of many ot our plantations to employ both Japanese and Chinese on the plantation, in order to avoid strikes or complications on the part of the laborers. After this sudden outburst of a murderous spirit, will the course of time move smoothly on between'these two sections of Kahuku laborers ? With these turbulent representatives of Asiatic nations filling our land, and massed in large bodies upon our extensive sugar plantations, to whom can we look for peace and protection? The police force of Honolulu, composed of reliable native Hawaiians 'and led by experienced white men, -are of undoubted efficiency ; but what are they as compared with the 6,090 or #,400 Asiatics whom we shall find a year or two hence on the six plantations -mw touched by the seventy-one miles of the railroad.

Five years hence another conference will be held, when there will have been an astounding advance. There are already about ten thousand Chinese Christians in Shantung, whereas when we came to China there were probably only a few hundred. The total for the whole Empire is supposed to aggregate nearly an hundred thousand, perhaps more, as it has been rapidly increasing within recent years. In 1901 the third Shanghai conference will be held, at which there will be wonderful progress to report and a marvelously altered outlook, as compared with 1900, and especially with 1897, the date of the earliest one.

During the year 1898 1,711,792 pieces of mail matter were received and dispatched by the Honolulu postoffice, as compared with 1,297,987 in 1897, being an increase of nearly 32 percent. This probably indicates fairly the growth of Honolulu during the year. Quite a deluge of rain fell in Honolulu on Monday night, the 6th of March. In Manoa and Palolo valleys there were about four inches. This flooded the Waikiki flats. A flood gate at Kapiolani Park having been left closed, a part of the race track was flooded.

"Wars and rumors of wars" make us sad, often despondent. What is to be the outcome of our fierce battling with the Filipinos? Where is there any sunshine beyond the dark, hurtling tempest ? Our supreme solace and assurance is based upon the solid certainty that the great, glorious dominion of the Lord Jesus Christ overall the earth is coming on with hastening strides. He is soon to rule over all the tribes of mankind. All the dark, sullen peoples are, in the fullness of time, to own Him as Lord, and to enjoy the light and love of His gracious rule. That blessed and perfect Kingdom is the theme of prophetic song. A King is to rule in judgment and righteousness. The Redeemer comes to be "a leader and commander of the peoples." Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy kingdom come." Not in vain have those prayers ascended. That benign sway is hastening on. Looking with Faith's confiding gaze, we discern beyond the storm the coming sunshine ot earth's long day of peace and sweetness. These human struggles and conflicts are the necssary precursors of spiritual victories. Many of the devils whom Jesus exorcised, sadly tore their victims before they departed. Wars mammon. In this line come inward peace, joy and fellowship with Christ. We deeply pity and sorrow for the deluded millionaire Christian, who prides himself on handing out a few thousands here and ihere out of his hundreds ol thousands of income, when the least loyalty to Christ and His Kingdom would draw from him one tenth of his accumulating gains—when hearty, glad loyalty would perhaps make him halve those gains with the Lord's work.

F"or two years a committee of eighteen delegates of the leading evangelical churches in England have been engaged in constructing a catechism which represents the doctrinal tenets held in common by those various churches. The adoption was unanimous, indicating that all those denominations hold all of the doctrines therein embodied. Although many tenets held by several churches are omitted, the high spiritual tone of the whole renders the catechism profitable to all. Its positive attitude in opposition to various current forms of religious error may be seen in the following questions and answers As against Papacy 33. Cj.—What is the Holy Catholic : : Church ? A.—lt is that Holy Society of believers in Christ Jesus which He founded, of which He is the only Head, and in which He dwells by His Spirit; so that, though made up of many communions, organized in various modes, and scattered throughout the world, it is yet One in Him. As against State Churches 86. Q.—What is : a Free Church ? A.—A Church which acknowledges none but Jesus Christ as Head, and, therefore, exercises its right to interpret and administer His laws without restraint or control by the State. As against Sacramentarianism 41. Cj.—What are the Sacraments of the Church ? A.—Sacred rites instituted by our Lord Jesus to make more plain by visible signs the inward benefits of the Gospel, to assure us of His promised grace, and, when rightly used, to become a means to convey it to our hearts. As against Prelacy 40. Cj.—How may the validity of such a ministry be proved ? A.—The decisive proof of a valid ministry is the sanction of the Divine Head of the Church, manifested in the conversion ofsinners and the edification of the Body of Christ. : : As against Unitarianism 19. Q.—What : is the mystery of the blessed Trinity ? A.—That the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, into whose Name we are baptized, are one God. As against Universalism 9. Cj.—What are the consequences of : sin? A.—Sin separates man from God, corrupts his nature, exposes him to manifold pains and griefs, and, unless he repents, must issue in death eternal. In assertion of Vicarious Atonement: [May, 1899 14. Cj.—What did He accomplish fo us by His death on the Cross ? A.—By offering Himself a sacrifice without blemish unto God, He fulfilled wards peace and goodwill, which shall quiet and tame the fierce element latent to such a degree in these people ? Do we not know by daily and world wide experience that there is no power in human society so influential, so actively efficient, as the power of Christ on men's souls, to bring them into mutual love, into justice and good will to one another ? What these people need is the loving, purifying Gospel of our Lord and Master, lo work its uplifting, softening, conciliating work upon their communities, until many of them are subdued into cordial obedience to the faith, each one to become a light among their fellows and a teacher of the right ways of the Lord. Let there be even one earnest Christian among every score of Japanese, and a powerful force for peace and good order will be created. Each Christian disciple is a bright light in the darkness. He is a mighty force among his people, leavening and moulding them to wise thought and right the requirements of Divine Holiness, atoned for all our sins, and broke the power of Sin. Love, God's central Perfection 2. Cj. How must we think of God ? A.—God is the one Eternal Spirit, Creater and Sustainer of all things; He is Love, boundless in wisdom and pow er, perfect in holiness and justice, in mercy and truth. While positive, the tone is not aggressive. In the ninth question room is left for the "Eternal Hope" indulged by those like Canon Farrar, who hope that all the lost will at some time in eternity be brought to repentance. Room also is left for the more scriptural doctrine of "Conditional Immortality." Both of these opinions are increasingly held in evangelical churches, and had to be allowed for. action.

There are numerous United States national collections will from Kaumakapili church and Beretania vertical dikes of prismatic basalt splitting be enriched by a multitude of specimens street. The periodical flooding of these through the earlier lava layers, from unknown depths to mountain summit. There are huge masses of old lava in process of decomposition through the forms of spheroidal boulders, shelling off friable laminations. Of especial interest is a surface layer of red cinder of great depth, evidently ejected from the singular chasm close to the turn of theroad at its summit. Just beyond the steel bridge at the upper end, this layer lies in sloping strata of fifty or more feet in depth. These strata are inclined at an angle of thirty or more degrees, following the incline of the pre cipitous ridge. Just beyond and above the bridge can be seen their junction with the ancient horizontal strata of the mountain. At other points below, the various forms assumed in the junction of the new cinder with the old lava are extremely interesting, the heat of the new having cooked the partly decomposed surfaces of the old. There is probably no other locality in this group where road cuttings have exposed so many facts of striking interest. It is a rather curious circumstance that two very eminent geologists were both independently misled into the same wrong conclusion by observing the steeply inclined stratification of the above mentioned red ejecta. Dr. James D. Dana and Dr. Sollas of Dublin, both saw from the head of the road on the opposite inaccessible cliff these conspicuous sloping strata, from which they inferred a positive evidence of a steep downward flow of the lavas of the mountain. This to their minds confirmed the theory that the depressed Koolau area below was the bottom of a vast caldera or crater, of which the great mountain precipice formed one of the original walls. The truth is that the precipice wall everywhere exposes a very solid horizontal stratification. The sloping cinder strata are entirely superficial. Neither fact, however, proves anything for or against the caldera theory; since the walls of Kilauea and other calderas are horizontally stratified. But the great mountain wall of Koolau can be far better accounted for as the result of weathering by the beating windward rains through long ages. Their erosion has worn and sculptured down the original vast mountain dome until on that side only the skeleton vertebrae remain. A like condition is conspicuous on the west side of Waianae ridge, which was peculiarly exposed to westerly storms. On the lower part of the road, Dr. Hitchcock found some specimens oflava containing forms of much beauty and rarity, but which would have wholly eluded an unpracticed eye. His hammer was vigorously plied and the flying collected by Dr. H. in Hawaii and New Zealand.

It would be ultimate economy to cart one hundred thousand loads from Aala Park to fill up those sections, even if the use of the park were thereby delayed five years. The poor people would suffer less by the continued lack of a park than by living on low and pestilential ground. We commend this thought to public consideration. Do not be short sighted. Haste makes waste. Aaia Park. Some three or four acres in the sec- Looking for tion called Aala west of the mouth of Nuuanu stream and above King street, were set aside by the last Legislature for a park, with a view of becoming a place of recreation, especially for the pooier classes of the city who are largely congregated in the low grounds adjacent as well as in Chinatown. The land, flooded at high tide, had already been partially filled up by the harbor dredger. This process has been continued at intervals, and large quantities of earth have been deposited, more than enough to have elevated the entire park much above the level of King street. But in the meantime, thousands of loads of the newly deposited earth have been carted off by the street builders, in order to fill up new streets in that vicinity, so that a large portion of the new park continues unfilled. It is not clear how long it is proposed to continue this process, and many persons who desire to have the poor people and their children made more happy, are manifesting great impatience at the a New Cemetery. There is probably sufficient reason against converting the interior of Punchbowl into a cemetery. In the coming growth of the city it will doubtless become a favorite resort for recreation. It will be made very accessible by elevators at cheap rates. Such use is inconsistent with that of a cemetery. A rather amusing objection made is that of an unpleasant association of one's departed friends with a place so recently a "yowling, raging furnace," i.e., a Tartarus. More serious is that of there being possible volcanic fissures through which\the products ot decay might be sifted down to the artesian water bed some hundreds of feet below, and the water supply of the city be contaminated. There is probably no such danger, but better be on the safe side. No desirable site lor a cemetery has yet been agreed upon. We still adhere to the opinion that it should be in the region of the I'uuloa railway station. The underlying rock is too soft to constitute an adequate objection. With the aid of water to soften it, or with the help of a very liltle powder, graves can easily be dug in it. In that locality space for a park like cemetery is unlimited. prolonged delay in completing, leveling and planting what will become a beautiful park. There seem, however, to be very strong reasons why the process objected to should be continued a while longer.

University Extension. Prof. Henry Rolfe, of California, a well accredited scholar, has opened in Honolulu a series of University Extension lectures, connected with English Literature. Instruction by able lecturers on the higher lines of thought, ought to be a rich boon to any intelligent community, and doubtless ours will profit by such opportunities. We hardly understand, however, why Prof. Rolfe should have introduced his course by inviting people to the close and careful study of so trivial and uninspiring a writer as Charles Lamb, or one who, aside from some felicities of diction, added so little to the world's sum of high thought or helpful knowledge. It is to be hoped that the proposed course will supply a higher basis of intellectual nutriment than such a quality of undeveloped mutton, when so glorious a galaxy of literary stars awaits attention. Easter Sunday was especially observed in the Honolulu churches. In Central Union there was an elaborate musical programme, lovely decorations of lilies and magnolias, and a most impressive sermon on Immortality and the failure of so many to reach after it. Scriptures for the Philippines. Recent events have stirred the British and Foreign Bible Society to some prompt feats of translation, and portions of the New Testament in no less than four tongues are in preparation for the Philippines. The first three Gospels and the Acts in Tagalog, the language of the dominant native race there, are actually printed St. Luke's Gospel in Ilocono is nearly finished; and the same book in Bicol is ready for issue. These renderings, it appears, are largely due to the energy of the Society's agent in Madrid (Rev. R. O. Walker) who secured the collaboration of some exiled Filipinos. Almost the whole Testament has been translated into Pangasinan. ; Telegraphing Across Island Channels. Telegraph communication seems likely soon to be in operation between our islands.

Ai sends to the Board a quarterly Report of his labors as their missionary among the native churches in Hilo and Puna, in association with the Rev. Stephen Desha, pastor of Haili church in Hilo. Mr. Ai is a graduate of Kamehameha School and North Pacific Mission Institute. He writes excellent English. Some extracts from his report follow : "The Mission extends from Laupahoehoe to Puna churches. In Hilo district there are four places to be looked after—Laupahoehoe, Puuohua, Hakalau and Onomea. lam to preach in those places two Sundays each month, if possible, occupying two places each Sunday. Except in Laupahoehoe, the Christian work in.those places is growing slowly and steadily. There are not many people living there. * * * "In Puna there are five places—Olaa, Puula, Kalapana, Opihikau and Kamaili. The work is growing nicely in these places. Except in Olaa, I shall preach in those places two Sundays in each month, if possible. In case of a fifth Sunday in the month, I shall preach in Olaa, or else in Haili Church, to assist Rev. S. L. Desha. I am thankful for his help in carrying out the plan of the Mission, as well as for the kindness of many people in different places." The Missionary Kekela Returned. It is a great pleasure to record the arrival, on April sth, of the venerable missionary, the Rev. James Kekela, together with his noble wife, Naomi, and a large band of his children and grandchildren, a family of fourteen in all. Through the generosity of Mr. S. T. Alexander, supplemented by the Hawaiian Board, Mr. Kekela was enabled to charter the little schooner 7 u/</7f(,'«««,which brought the party here in 20 days from the Marquesas Is., where their home has so long been. It was 46 years ago, in ISM, that Mr. and Mrs. Kekela and two other missionary couples, left their native land to labor for their Lord among the very savage and brutal cannibals of the Marquesas Is. They have wrought patiently and successfully. They have lifted up many of the people into Christian living. Cannibalism and war long since disappeared under French authority. During his early residence. Kekela won distinguished public notice by his efforts in saving the life of a whaling officer from a cannibal chief, for which President Lincoln sent him a watch. Three of Kekela's daughters were educated and married in Hawaii, the oldest of them being Mrs. Martin, of Kau. Onecan come with hischildren, whom > �40 THE FRIEND [May, 1899 he will leave here in school. Two bottom for a cable between Honolulu ing ground. younger daughters have also come who received French education in the Prot eatant mission in Tahiti, but speak no English. They have been teachers in Government schools in the Marquesas. A touching reception met the venerable missionary on the morning of the 6th, from the Oahu Church Association in session at Kaumakapili. The aged man was overcome with emotion, but finally spoke a few words with force. Several short addresses of welcome were made by native and white ministers, full of tender feeling, Mr. Kekela spoke the following Sabbath with great vigor at Kawaiahao church. He was subsequently attacked by grippe, and we deeply regret to report has fallen into a serious nervous condition, which brings much pain to his family, and especially to Mrs. Martin and her sisters, gathered here to welcome their parents. After two weeks' stay in Honolulu harbor, the missionary steamer Morning Star on the 7th ult. resumed her voyage to Micronesia. There were no addi- tional white passengers except the family of Capt. Garland, who took command here in place of Capt. Bray. Rev. I,allien and wife returned to Jaluit. They came up a year ago to assist Dr. Pease in revising his translation of the New Testament. The usual farewell relig ious services were held on board just before the ship sailed. Each yearly parting with these little bands ufvaliant, patient, loving workers brings fresh inapiration as we help send them on to their years of toil in sowing and reaping. The Sugar Boom. The high prices reached by plantation shares continue, with a slight abatement. These prices may perhaps be justified for the well established concerns, but careful discrimination should be exercised about new schemes which have been started with excessive capitalization. The gambling spirit blinds people as to real values of property. It is to be said,however, that our most experienced agents are found paying for old concerns what a year ago would have been deem ed impossible prices. While there is doubtless a solid basis for advanced prices, incautious buyers are liable to end with heavy losses. Some of the newly starting plantations with huge capitals on paper, are sound schemes— others perhaps are not. Survey for Pacific Cable. The U.
