Ecclesiastical Polity of the Mission
Churches on the Hawaiian Islands.

Local difficulties in Church, as well as
State, often give rise to the discussion of important general principles. Refusal to pay
a few pence, as a ship-timber tax in England,
and the tax on paper in America, are illustrations in point. A difficulty has arisen at
Waimea, on Kauai, respecting the ownership of the church building. Two parties
claim the edifice. The case has come up
from an inferior Court on that island, lo be
tried before the full bench of Judges of the
Supreme Court. To hear the evidence and
offer the pleas of the counsel occupied three
days. The Court allowed the evidence to
cover a wide field, and the whole subject was
gone over with, in regard to the establishment
and government of the Mission Churches on
these islands. While we do not profess indifference to the decision which the Court
shall arrive at in this case, yet we feel that
the general question of ecclesiastical law and
custom among the churches is of far higher
consequence. Although our churches have
never laid down any platform, or published
any book of discipline, or even adopted a
common form of Articles of Faith, yet it
was found that there was a species of " common law" among our Island Protestant
Churches, which indicated a unity of sentiment in faith, doctrine and practice, which

was highly gratifying. There was found to
exist an eclectic Church (ioveriinient, which
combined the elements of Presbyteriunism
and Congregationalism in harmonious union.
While local churches are essentially Congregational, yet they are subject to the control of island associations, and these island associations were found to be under
the general supervision of the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association. This ecclesiastical polity was ascertained to be the
gradual growth or development of the Mission to these islands, established in IS2O.
There was ascertained to be a net-work of
ecclesiastical law and regulations extending over every part of these islands, and
interwoven with the very existence of Protestant Christianity. Although without a
name, yet potent and conservative. Over

hereafter.
Opening of the Hawaiian Parliament.

In accordance with His Majesty's proclamation, the Nobles and Representatives convened on the 25th ult., at the Supreme Court
room, at 12 m. A large audience assembled
of both foreigners and Hawaiians. The arrangements were excellent. Seats were
reserved for not only Government and Consular officials, but for many ladies and

Majesty was escorted from the palace by the
military array. On entering the audience

and the audience dispersed.

One witness compared it to the consociated system of Connecticut. We have heard
it styled Apostolic.
Whatever it is, or shall finally prove to
be, we feel fully confident that it is answering the great and all-important purpose of
training and preparing its members for another world. Believing, us we firmly do,
that no particular form of church government—Presbyterian, Congregational, Independent, or Episcopal—to be laid down in
the New Testament, we arc of the opinion
that the American Missionaries on these
islands have been led from one stage of their
work to another to adopt a form which answers all essential purposes and is admirably suited to the state of social and religious
advancement of the people. We think they
have pursued a course admirably suited to

What the Jesuits Did Not Do in Japan.

They did not translate and distribute the
Bible in the Japanese language ; but this is
what the American Missionaries are now
doing. It is a great undertaking, and when
accomplished will be a good foundation for
prosecuting the Missionary work in that Empire. We refer our readers interested in
this subject to the letter of the Rev. S. R.
Brown, found in another column. Bible
translation is a marked feature in all Protestant Missions, and forms a most striking
point of contrast between all Papal and
Protestant Missions to the heathen.
We would acknowledge a bundle of
American and German papers, for distribution, from Mr. Henry Chester, of San Francisco. Such contributions arc very acceptable.

ALetter

from the Rev. James Kekela,

a Hawaiian MissionaryIslaatnds, Marquesas
LParetAsdiohnted
Lincoln

Our. readers are familiar with the facts
relating to the presents purchased by the
$600 sent out by the U. S. Government, to
reward certain parties at the Marquesas
Islands, who rescued, Mr. Wtialon, of Ship
Congress, in January, 1864. The Hawaiian
missipnary, the Rev. J. Kekela, was one ol
those persons to whom a gold watch was
presented, in the name of President Lincoln.
The following letter, was written on receiving the valuable testimonial. As appears
from the date, it was written only a few days
before President Lincoln's death. The
translation of the letter from the Hawaiian
language into English, was made by Judge
Bond, late of the Island of Kauai, and now
residing in Boston. We copy this interesting
document from the Christian Register, published in Boston, March 3d, 1866.
[Translated expreasly for the Christian Register. |

Hivaoa, March 27, 1865.
To A. Lincoln, Pretident of the United States
of America.
Greetings to you, great arjd good friend !
My mind is stirred up to address you in friendship, by the receipt of your communication
through your minister, resident in Honolulu,
Jameti Mcßride.
I greatly respect you for holding converse with
suoh humble ones. Such you well know us to be.
I am a native of the Hawaiian Islands, from
Waialua, Ouhu, born in 1824, and at twelveyears
of age attended the school at Waialua of Rev.
Mr. Emerson ; and was instructed in reading,
writing and mental arithmetic and geography.
In 1838 I was entered at the high school of
Lahainaluna, and was under the instruction of
Messrs. L. Andrews, E. \V. Clark, S. Dibble and
Alexander. Not being in advance of others, I
remained in the school some years, and in 1843 I
graduated and was then invited and desired by
the teachers to continue my studies in other
branches, that is, to join a class in theology,
under the Rev. S. Dibble. He died in 1845, and
I and otherscontinued the study of the Scriptures
under W. P. Alexander. In 1847 I graduated,
having been at Lahainaluna nine years. In that
year, 1847,1married a girl from my native place,
who had for seven years attended a female seminary at Wailuku under the instruction of J. S.
Green, E. Bailey and Miss Ogden.
In the same year 1847,1 and my wife were
called to Kahuku, a remote place in Koolau on
Oahu, to instruct the people there in the Scriptures, and in other words of wisdom. I remained
in this work for some years. It was clear to myself and to my wife that our lives were not our
»wn, but belonged to the Lord, and, therefore we
covenanted one with the other, that we would be
the Lord's, " His only, His forever." And from
that time forth we yielded ourselves servants
unto the Lord. In 1852,certain American missionaries, Dr. Gulick and others, were sent out
on their way to Micronesia. I was one of their
company, and after seven months absence, I returned with E. W. Clark. On my return I was
employed in arousing the Hawaiians to the work
of foreign missions.
In 1853 there came to our islands a Macedonian
cry for missionaries to Nuuhiva, brought by
Matunui, a chief of Fatuhiwa.
The missionaries speedily kid held upon me to
jo to this group of islands. I did not assent iin>n«*alely. I stopped to consider carefully, with
much prayer to God, to make clear to
me that
tnia caH was from God, and I took counsel with

my wife. It was evident to us that.this was a
call from God, therefore we consented to come to
these dark, benighted and cannibal islands.
I hud aged parents, and my wife beloved relatives, and we bad a little girl three years old.
We left them in our native land. We came away
to seek the salvation of the souls of this people,
because our hearts were full of the love of God.
This was the only ground of our coming hither,
away front our native land.
In the year 1853 we cumo to these cannibal
islands, and we dwelt first for four years at Fatuhiwu, and in 1857 we removed to Hivaoa, another
island, to do the work of tho Lord Jesus; and
from that time until now, we have striven to do
tho work of Jesus Christ, without regard for
wealth or worldly pleasure. We came for tho
Lord, to seek the salvation of men, and this is
our only motive for remaining in this dark land.
When I saw one of your countrymen, a citizen
of your great nation, ill-treuted, and about to be
baked and eaten, as u pig is eaten, I ran to save
him, full of pity and grief at the evil deed of
these benighted people. I gave my boat for the
stranger's li(e. This boat came from JameaHunnewell, a gift of friendship. It became the ransom of this countryman of yours, that he might
not be eaten by the savages who knew not Jehovah. This wus Mr. Whalon, and the date, Jan.
14, 1864.
As to this friendly deed of mine in saving Mr.
Whalon, its seed came from your great hind, and
was brought by certain of your countrymen, who
hud received the love of God. It was planted in
Hawaii, and I brought it to plant in this land and
in these dark regions, that they might receive the
root of all that is good and true, which is love.
1. Love to Jehovah.
2. Love to self.
3. Love to our neighbor.
If a man have a sufficiency of these three, he is
good and holy, like his God, Jehovah, in his triune character, (Father, Son and Holy Ghost)
one-three, three-one. If he have two and wants
one, it is not well; and if he have one and wantwo, this, indeed, is not well; but if he cherishes
all three, then is he holy, indeed, alter the manner of theBible.
This is a great thing for your great nation to
boast of, before all the nations of the earth.
From your great land a most precious seed was
brought to the land of darkness. It was planted
here, not by means of guns and men-of-war and
threatenines. It was planted by means of the
ignorant, the neglected, the despised. Such was
tho introduction of the word of the Almighty
God into this group of Nuuhiwa. Great is my
debt to Americans, who have taught me nil
things pertaining to this life, and to that which
is to come.
How shall I repay your great kindness to me ?
Thus David asked of Jehovah, and thus I ask of
you, the President of the United States. This is
my only payment,—that which I have received
of the Lord, love,—(aloha.)
I and my wife, Naomi, have five ohildren, the
first with Miss Ogden, the second with Rev. J. S.
Emerson; we now send the third to live withRev.
L. H. Gulick ; the fourth is with Kauwealoha,
my fellow missionary, and the fifth is with us at
present. Another stranger is soon expected.
There is heaviness in thus having to scatter tbe
children where they can be well taken oare of.
We have received your gifts of friendship according to your instructions to your minister,
James Mcßride. Ah ! I greatly honor your interest in this countryman of yours. It is, indeed,
in keeping with all I have known of your acts as
President of the United States.
A clear witness this in all lands of your love
for those whose deeds are love, as saith the Scripture, Thou shalt love Jehovah, and shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself."
And so may One love of tbe Lord Jesus abound
with you until the end of this terrible war in
your land.
I am, Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States, your ob't serv't, James Kekila.

"

To the Friends of Missions in the Sandwich
Islands.

Yokohama, Japan, 14th Jan., 1866.
Brethren in Christ,—A little company of
believers of several nationalities, residing
here, have for the last seven days been observing the concert for prayer with you of other
lands, and whilst assembled this evening to
supplicate the throne of grace in behalf of this
heathen nation, it was unanimously resolved
to appoint a committee to issue an address to
Gods people throughout the world, asking
their prayers in a special manner for Japan.
In order that the ground of this request may
be better understood, permit us succinctly to
state the circumstances in which we find
ourselves here at the present time. There
are now Protestant missionaries representing
three or four branches of the Church of
Christ in this country. Two of these are at
Nagasaki and the remainder at this port.
Most of these have been here since 1859, or
more than six years. They see marked
changes in many things since their arrival.
At first the prejudice and suspicion of the
rulers of this country, led them for some
time, frequently to send posses of officers to
the houses of the missionaries, ostensibly as
friends calling upon friends, but really as
spies, to find out for what object these nontrading people had come to Japan. But for
more than three years past such domiciliary
visits have entirely ceased. The first decisive symptom of the abatement of suspicion
on the part of the Government was the
sending of about a dozen young men of rank
from Yedo to Kanagawa to be taught English
by one of the missionaries. More recently
the Governors of Nagasaki and this place
authorized schools to be opened for a similar
purpose under their auspices, and the Protestant missionaries were invited to take
charge of them. One missionary at Nagasaki, has during the last year, devoted three
or four hours a day to the school there. The
school at Yokohama, has over fifty members,
and for more than two years past, three, and
sometimes four, ol the missionaries have
been engaged in it, teaching an hour or two
each day. A large supply of American
school books has been imported by the Governor for the school, and the teachers have
in no wise been restricted as to the manner

or matter of their teaching. Through the
use of these foreign school booltt more or
less of Christian truth is almost daily brought
in contact with the minds of the pupils, and
has been freely made the subject of explanation and remark in the classes. The effect
of this, is manifest in the unhesitating manner in which the pupils make inquiries, and
seek information on religious subjects, and
in the frequent expression given to Christian
facts and doctrines in their school exercises.
Four years ago, when copies of a book entitled the " Christian Reader," were bought
of a missionary, by some young men who
were desirous to learn English, they at once
erased the word " Christian," from the title
page and cover, for fear it should be noticed
by others and bring them into trouble. Now
a considerable number of those who have
been under instruction have purchased copies
of the scriptures for their own use. In the
school rooms and in our houses there is no
reluctance to speak, and many do speak from

I 11E r'KIKNU, MAY, 1866.
day to day, of God, of Christ and Christianity. The name of Jesus is no longer uttered
with bated breath. Some of the wives of
missionaries also have interesting classes of
Japanese boys under their instruction in
English, with great succes.
A medical missionary has a dispensary

thronged with patients from day to day,
where the ten commandments and passages
of scripture in Japanese are hung upon the
walls, and read by the patients.
Again, the Gorojiu or council of State at
Yedo, is now making arrangements to erect
extensive buildings in this town, for a school
in which some hundred young men of the
higher class, are to be taught, in an English
and a French department, and the Protestant
missionaries have been requested to take
charge of the former. These facts will enable you to see to what extent the Japanese
have come to repose confidence in the missionaries. Meantime the members of the
several missions have applied themselves to
the study of Japanese, endeavoring to make
their labors in this direction available to
those who may come after them, by publishing works for this purpose, and a JapaneseEnglish Dictionary containing some 40,000
words is now nearly for the press. Most, if
not all of them have for a good while past
been at work upon the translation of the
Bible, so that, by a few months of cooperative labor, they would be ready to publish at
least the four gospels in Japanese.
Contrary to the general expectation it has
been found that the Japanese generally do
not entertain a feeling of hostility to foreigners, nor are they bigoted in religious matters.
They even pride themselves upon being less
stiff, and more liberal in the latter respect
than the Chinese. Those who belong to the
class called Samurai, who alone are eligible
to civil or military office, manifest much
eagerness to gain a knowledge of Western
languages, science and arts. Some of those
who have been or are now studying English,
are in the habit of going daily to the missionaries' houses, in groups of from two or
three to six or seven, to read the English
Bible, prefejring this to the study of schoolbooks. These intelligent young men, frequently express their earnest desire that the
day may soon come, when all their countrymen shall have the Holy Scriptures, and the
free political institutions, of which they are
the basis'. Tbey despise the Budhist creed
and the Budhist priests.
One of the first teachers employed by the
missionaries in 1860 recently died, in the
assurance that he was about to be with Jesus.
He had, at his own request, been baptized in
his own house and in the presence of his
own family, with their full consent. Thus
the first fruit of the gospel in Japan, at least
in our time, has been gathered into the garner of God.
Here, then, we are, in the presence of this
great heathen population, estimated by themselves to number 32,000,000, and you may
ask, ' what hinders the gospel from being
freely and publicy preached?' This is the
question, that presses us at this moment, and
urges us to ask your prayers for this people.
This government is in some respects a
strong one. In consequence of what occurred with the Jesuits and monks of former
times, it took the most stringent measures to

efface the very name of Christianily, as that
of a crafty usurper, from the memory of its
subjects, or else to make it the symbol of
whatever is dangerous and detestable. Unfortunately the Jesuits did not leave the Bible in Japan when they were banished from
the country, else the condition of things here
now, might have borne more resemblance to
that in Madagascar. But now, every man,
woman and child, must be registered at some
Budhist or Shinto temple, or be denied a
decent burial. Thus every Japanese is
within the grasp of an iron hand, the hand
of the government. There is no evidence
that the old edicts against Christians have
been revoked; no proclamation from the
government as yet assures the people that
they would not be treated as criminals
worthy of the death penalty, should they be
suspected of favoring the Christian religion.
The missionary might or might not suffer for
the offence of preaching, but his hearers
would. • Here, then, we hesitate and desire
to know the divine will and our duty. We
would neither be cowardly nor rash. We
call upon our brethren in Christ to pray, that
this last obstacle may be removed,—that the
treaty powers represented in Japan, may be
inclined to do what Christian governments
ought to do in this behalf, —that the Spirit
of God, may move the rulers of Japan to
proclaim liberty to their subjects, liberty to
hear and read the word of God,—and thus
that speedily these everlasting doors may be
lifted up, and the King of Glory may come
in. May we not hope that those whom this
address reaches, will remember this object in
their families and closets, and meetings for
prayer, and that it will be specially inserted
among the subjects forming the programme
for the week of prayer at the opening of the
year 1867. In behalf of the Committee.

Loss of the "London."

English andAmerican newspapersreceived
by a late mail, contain full narrations of the
loss of an Australian Steamer, with a large
number of. passengers. It is reported that
269 went down with the vessel, which had
sprung a leak in a fearful gale offthe Bay of
Biscay. One boat's crew alone were saved
to report the sad particulars of the vessel's
loss. The particulars as published in the
" Times" of January 19th, are most heartrending. There were two clergyman on
board, the Rev. Dr. Woolley and the Rev.
Mr. Draper. There was also a noted trageThe Captain,

who was among those who perished, is reported to have conducted himself with great
calmness and composure, and was seen
walking the quarter deck when the vessel
went down. As the boat pushed off from
the doomed vessel, a young lady shrieked
out an offer of " a thousand guineas if you'll
take me in." It was too late, and she perished with the rest. All the accounts which
we have read, bear the most honorable testimony to the heroic conduct and faithful

35

preaching of the Rev. Mr. Draper, a We?leyan minister bound) out to Australia. In
the " Watchman and Wesleyan Advertiser"
for 31st of January, we find a communication from a correspondent, who appears to
have taken much pains to ascertain the facts
respecting the loss of the " London." He
thus refers to the Rev. Mr. Draper:
" Being anxious to obtainall the information
I could about the " London," I made it my

business to see two of the men who were
saved in the small boat, and I had a long

conversation with them. They both spoke
in the very highest terms of Mr. Draper's
conduct, and stated that he had exhorted and

prayed, almost without intermission, for
twelve or fourteen hours before the vessel
went down. One of them said when he
last saw him, about an hour before the boat
left, he was then in the saloon, and that men
and women in distress were going up to him
and saying, " O ! Mr. Draper, pray for me,"
or pray with me. The last words he heard
him say were " Well my friends, our captain
tells us there is no hope, but the Great Captain above tells us there is hope that we may
all get safe to heaven." Another said, he
saw Mr. Draper a few minutes bofore the
boat pushed off, that he was then speaking
with deep emotion, but in a strong clear
distinct voice, and that the last words he
recollected having heard him say, were
" Those of you who are not converted, now
is the time, not a moment to be lost, for in a
few minutes we shall all be in the presence
of our Judge." Thus he, doubtless, continued to exhort and entreat until the sinking
of the vessel stopped his utterance, and he
" ceased at once to work and live," realizing
in his last moments the wish expressed in a
verse which he often sung :—
if with my latest breath,
" Happy,
I may but gasp his.name.
Preach him to ail, and cry in death,
« Behold, behold the Lamb.' "
" During one of the last conversations 1
had with him, I expressed my regret that his
stay in this country was so short, and that,

owing to various circumstances, I had not
been able to see so much of him as I could
have wished. He thanked me very kindly
and replied, "Well, I could spend another
year in England very pleasantly, and should
like to do so if my conscience would allow
me, but I feel I must get back to my work."
Little did he then imagine that his work on
earth was so nearly finished, and that he was
so soon to enter into the joy of his Lotd.
But, if " that life be long which answers life's
great end," then Mr. Draper has lived a long
life; and, having had the pleasure of his
acquaintance upwards of twenty years, I can
testify that his was a joyous, happy life, and
that much of his happiness consisted in seeing others happy and endeavouring to make
them so.
"I have made this hurried notice much
longer than I at first intended it to be, but it
has afforded me a mournful pleasure to pay
this last tribute of affectionate esteem and
regard to the memory of a long tried, true,
and highly valued friend.

I am, Gentlemen, yours very truly,

THE FItI
Great, Good, Grand, Glorious.

When traitors fired upon Sumpter great
was the uprising of the people. When the
army of the Union needed recruits, it was
good to have 200,000 colored troops to fill
up the ranks and march shoulder to shoulder with the white soldier, to put down the
rebellion.
When President _incoln saw the situation of the whole country, he resolved to issue
his Emancipation Proclamation —this was
grand, and even more so for the people to confirm, by their vote, the passage of the law
abolishing slavery throughout the country,
and annex the same to the Constitution.
When a majority of the people's Senators
and Representatives, in good faith, passed
laws for the protection of the freedmen, and
the President vetoed those bills, it is glorious
to witness the noble and firm conduct of
those Congressmen in passing the " Civil
Rights " bill over the President's veto. As
we understand the provisions of that important bill, the colored man now stands
upon perfect equality with the white man,
except upon the suffrage question. He may
buy and sell, sue and be sued, go and come,
give evidence, and in all civil respects be
his own master as much as the white man,
and whoever shall oppress him, or abridge
his civil liberty, shall be fined and imprisoned. Let no man, after this, assert that the
civil war in America is barren of good fruits.

the passage of this law. Brother Jonathan,

Shakspeare and
Kamehameha Y. both say " Money in the

1866, can appear before his people and announce that the Treasury is full! According to the report of the Minister of Finance
there was a balance in the Treasury on the
Ist of April of $169,059 34. The total
expenditures of this Kingdom for two years
have been $582,341 02, or $291,170 51,

Death of S. H. Dowsett, Esq.—lt was
with unfeigned sorrow that we heard the announcement of the death of Mr. Dowsett.
We had known him from boyhood, and witnessed with delight his gradual advancement
to become an esteemed citizen and merchant
in Honolulu. In all the social and domestic
relations of Hfe he was respected and beloved. His untimely death will be deeply
felt in this community.

Vote on the Civil Rights Bill.—In the
Senate the vote stood 33 yeas and 15 noes.
In the House of Representatives, 122 yeas
and 18 noes. The noes would have been a
few more, but some members of the House
were so indignant, when they saw how the
vote was going, that they left without allowing their names to be recorded. Most anxiously shall we look for the news by the next
mail from the United States.
We would acknowledge a valuable
contribution of books for seamen from Mrs.

ReminsAc eKarstonFight.
hgdeefAlabm

A writer in the Cornhill Magazine, who

has had opportunities of conversation with
some of Semmes's old crew, gives the following interesting reminiscence of the fight between the Alabama and the Kearsarge, from
which it appears that the rebels were left to
drown when the pirate sunk:
I thought you had been in the Confederate navy?" "I was," said Aleckj "I was
with Semmes everywhere he went. I was in
the naval brigade and blockade-running, and
on the Alabama all the while he commanded
her." " But not when she sank, I suppose," I
rejoined. " Well, I was, and was picked up
with him by the Deerhound." "It was a
pretty sharp fight, wasn't it?" I suggestingly
asked, " It was tlv-.t.,' replied Aleck, but he
didn't care about enlarging. "I suppose it
was the 11-inch shells that did the business?"
Oh, no," said he, coming to a kind of con"fessional,"
we never had any chance j we had
no gunners to compare with the Kearsarge's.
Our gunners fired by routine, and when they
had the gun loaded, fired it off blind. They
never changed the elevation of their guns in
all the fight, and the Kearsarge was working
up to us all the while, taking advantage of
every time she was hid by smoke to work a
little nearer, and then her gunners took aim
for every shot." Then itisn't true that the
Alabama tried to board the Kearsarge ?"

knew well that if we got in range of her

minutes."
"But," I asked, "don't you believe that
Semmes supposed he would whip the Kearsarge when he went outto fight her?" " No,
he was bullied into it, and took good care to
leave all his valuables on shore, and had a
life preserver on through the fight. 1 saw
him put it on, and I thought if it was wise in
him it wouldn't be foolish in me, and I put
one on too. When Semmes saw that the
ship was going down, he told us all to swim
who could, and was one of the first to jump
into the water, and we all made for the Deerhound. I was a long way ahead of Semmes,
and when I came up to the Deerhound's boat
they asked me if I was Semmes before they
would take me in. I said I wasn't and then
they asked me what I was on the Alabama.
Said I, 'No matter what I was on the Alabama, I shall be a dead man soon if you
don't take me in.' They asked again if I
was an officer or seaman, and would'nt take
me in until I told them that 1 was an officer."
But, said I, " did they actually refuse to pick
up common seamen and leave them to drown?"
" They did that," replied he wrathfully, and
probably not very correctly ; " and as soon as
they had Semmes on board they made tracks
as fast as they knew how, and left everbody
else to drown or be picked up by the Kearten

sarge."
