In accordance with these instructions it has ever been
our aim to act: hence seamen and residents have been
invited to meet for public worship in the chapel. Let
no one suppose that the chaplain ha* been indifferent
to making c. cry accommodation in his power for hearers. Ho has fiom time to time proposed measures for
the location of the hearers. Among reasonable and
candid persons we honestly think that no misunderstanding should exist. Let it be fully underttood that
teat* are free whether cuthioned or not; that teamen have the right and privilege to occupy any teat;
but to prevent confution, and ditorder, let teamen
occupy the left hand tide on entering, and retidtntt the
right hand tide. When the number of seamen in port
is few, then there is no objection lo residents being
sealed on the left hand side. It requires, we are satisfied, but a little of the true spirit of conciliation and
the love ofaccommodation, to seat alfsuch as love the
worship of God. We desire seimen to ever bear in
mind that the chapel was built for them, and that the
chaplain has received a commission to preach to them
the gospel of Jesus Christ; and we wish residents fully
to understand that they are cordially and freely invited
to take seals in that chapel up n the Subhuth, until
they are provided with some other more convenient
place for public worship. Whenever in the provident*
of God that time shall arrive, the prayers and the
benediction of the seamen's chaplain shall go with
them.

Much beloved father, we rejoice that it is so well
Miitk thee. Long may thy valuable services be continuod to labor among seamen Not many month* since
a sailor visited the seamen's chaplain in Honolulu, who
remarked that a. short time before leaving Boston,
Father Taylor accosted him in the street, "Shipmate,
are yon dry?" "Aye" "Then come with me."
'.'hey entered a milk shop, drank a cup of milk together; "and," remarked the sailor, " I have drank no
rum since; although previously it was farotherwise!''

Two sea captains, the one a cold water man, and
tlte other a moderate drinker, were conversing about
lampernnce efforts among seamen, &c.

might better lot temperance work its way among sailors as it best can, without saying so much about it.
It's hurtful, I tell you."
How so—how so? pray inform mo," said his friend.
"Why, for instance, on my last voyage, when we
pat into port, none of mv ctew wanted any money—
tlioy were all cold water fellows. I tried to persuade
ttiem to take some; but no—they wanted none. And
