We were of course very glad to receive tbe
letter. On our return to the city we called
at the office of the Y. M. C. A., where we
learned that twice each week an officer of the
Association goes to the San Francisco Post
Office and sends forward all letters detained
for the want of postage stamps. Having
often done this same kind of work at Honolulu, we were glad to find bread cast upon

wonder if any sailor's letters are now detained

The object of the Y. M. C. A. may be

there are at least so many Protestant churches
in this growing city, where our old associate,
the Rev. T. Dwight Hunt commenced his
labors in the fall of 1848. How vividly we
remember the time when report came to
Honolulu that persons dying here had no

we felt a strong desire to visit the spot and

an opportunity was afforded on Thursday,

of the age in the art and science of constructing vessels for warlike purposes. We
do not now wonder that the navul engagement between the " Merriinac " and the first
Monitor built by Ericsson, in Hampton
Roads, revolutionized the whole system of
naval warfare, and led to the practical banishment of wooden vessels from all the navies of the world. A person can form no
adequate idea of the strength and resistance
of a real iron-clad until he has inspected a
Monitor. The prestige given to our country
Iruin having built the first Monitor, exceeds
all that would have l>eeii obtained by victory
in a hundred battles, on sea or hind. Capt
John Ericsson, who has just died at Rie.hland, N. V., has thereby conierred an honor
upon his adopted country fully equal to
that of Fulton, who discovered the method
of applying steam to the propelling of vessels on water. Not only does this honor belong to Ericsson, but also that of the threebladed screw-propeller, the caloric engine,
and how inanv other inventions we know
not.

Mure Island is about three miles lung and
hall a mile wide. It is entirely owned by
the Government, and probably will remain
the great Naval Depot of the Pacific coast
so long as the Republic shall stand. Subsequent appropriations of Congress will enable the Navy Department to increase, onlarge, and perfect the already extensive
works upon the island. Should Vallejo be
made the Grand Terminus of the Pacific
Railroad, it appears altogether proper that
travelers and visitors from the East to the

OAKLAND, BENICIA, VAI.LEJO AISD SANTA CI.AUA.

During our sojourn in California, we have
enjoyed the privilege and improved the opportunity of visiting some of the rising Ujwiis
in the vicinity ol Sun Francisco. Our first
visit was to San Mateo, and .next we went
over to Oakland. This city stands in the
relation to San Francisco that Brooklyn
does to New York. It is a growing and prospcrons city. We were most favorably disappointed in its appearance. Its nvennee,
street! and public squares are spacious and
well laid out. It is a city of public School*
nnd higher seminaries of learning. When
the University is well established, Oakland
will become the Cambridge ol the Pacific
coast. Its many eligible sites for building
beautiful residences ami public edifices will
render Oakland all that its sanguine admirers now claim for it. We rude out to the

Benicia still retains the appearance which
it presented at our visit eighteen years ago.
This too is to be a place for seminaries of
learning. In addition to the Catholic Nunnery, and the flourishing Female Seminary
of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Mills, the new Theological School and Seminary of the Episcopal Church bus been there established.
We spent three days at the Female Seminary of Mr. Mills, and wen? most favorably
impressed with the order and arrangement
of the institution. It is just the school needed
for the young ladies of California. Parents
having daughters there may well congratulate themselves upon the fact that they are
taught by a corps ol' teachers in every respect qualified for their responsible task. Y\ c
attended recitations in Latin, Natural Theology, Butler's Analogy, and Rhetoric, which
would have done honor to any college in the
laud.
While referring to the success of this
Seminary, we cannot refrain from alluding
to the noble work which Miss Atkins
Mrs. Lynch) performed for female education
on this coast. She gave an impetus to the
cause of temale education at a most critical
and important period in the history of this
State. At Benicia her name is still remembered with high esteem. It was our privilege to become acquainted with this lady at
Honolulu on her voyage to Japan, China and
Siatu. We copy the following Irom the
Cleaveland Leader of March 30th I
" The many friends of that accomplished
lady, Miss Mary Atkins, were agreeably surprised to learn of her marriage with John
Lynch, a member of the Louisiana Legislature, which was solemnized at St. Paul's
Church Sunday evening. She received her
education at Oberlin, where she graduated
with honor. Some twelve years ago she
went to California and established the Benicia Female Seminary, which became an institution of high repule. Subsequently she
accompanied a nephew of hers, Capt. Turner,
formerly of Geneva, Ohio, who commanded
a clipper ship, to China, Japan and Siam,
and for a lady traveler saw much of those
strange countries. Mrs. Lynch, for the brief
period she has resided in this city since her
return from California, has created a large
circle of warm and admiring friends, and her
presence in our midst will be sadly missed."
At Benicia we were gratified lo meet one
more our old friend, Capt. Walsh, who gavn
us such a cordial welcome to the, Paci6c
twenty-seven years ago, when we landed in
Valparaiso, Chile, after a voyage around
Cape Horn, while he was there, residing as a
prosperous merchant. Years have dealt
kindly with this veteran of the seas, who
achieved a wide reputation some thirty or
forty years ago as commander of the famour
American brig "John Gilpin." running between Mexico and China.

It is shunted exactly opposite Mare Island Navy Yard. The
harbor is good, and the site for a large city
most excellent. The tninds of many are
fully possessed with the idea that in a few
years broad streets and avenues will extend
far over hill and valley, and that a thriving
population will gather hither. We hope
their expectations may be fully realized. A
grain elevator is now being constructed at
South Vallejo, and it is expected that very
soon it will be made a port of entry.
Our visit to Santa Clara introduced us to
the San Jose Valley, the garden of California. It is a most charming region. The
richness of the soil reminds us of the productive lands lying along the valley of the
Connecticut River about Northampton and
Hadlcy, Mass. San Jose is just fifty miles
south of San Francisco, and is connected by
railroad. Santa Clara is situated three miles
south of San Jose. Our remarks upon '■ New
Park Farm " will indicate the general character of the surrounding portions of the valwestern terminus there.

ley.
NEW PARK FARM.

While at Santa Clara we were the guest
of J. P. Pierce, Esq., proprietor of this beautiful estate. It contains ninety-five acres,
and is divided off into vineyard, garden,
orchard and tillage. Already twelve acres
are carefully laid out with strawberries. Besides its vineyard proper, vines are trained
tocoverarbors which, if running in a straight
line, would extend nearly one mile. The
orchards are arranged so that a succession of
fruits follow each other in regular order,
cherries, apricots, peaches, pears, apples.
The whole farm is under a high state of cultivation and kept in the most perfect order.
Five white laborers and about twenty Chinese are constantly employed.
The system of irrigation is most complete
and perfect. Miles of pipe extend underground to all parts of the garden requiring
to be watered. These are so admirably arranged that by removing a plug each row of
strawberries will be easily watered. Water
is abundantly supplied from several artesian
wells, which have never ns yet been exhausted. The garden and grounds are most
beautifully laid out. Walks are bordered
with pinks, geraniums, roses and many other
species of flowers. At this season the roses
are in perfection, exhibiting such
wealth,

abundance, fragrance and beauty that one
might almost gather a voriety sufficient to
manufacture the celebrated perfume of a
"thousand flowers." The beautiful residence
of the proprietor is embowered in them, extending over door-ways, hanging in clusters
from verandas, and fairly covering the sides
of his dwelling. Not merely is this beautiful spot designed to gratify the eye, but its
fruits are gathered for the San Francisco
market. At the height of the strawberry
season, beside supplying the family and
guests, nearly a ion a day is conveyed to
market. These arc gathered by the Chinese,
whose nimble fingcrsand patient minds seem
well designed for such garden employments.
We arc sorry to record the fact that among
a certain class of the population of California there is a strong prejudice against employing Chinese laborers. This prejudice
exists among the Irish and those of Secession proclivities. So bitter is this prejudice
that Klu-Klux clans threaten to revenge upon
those employing Chinese or those teaching
the Chinese. Already the Methodist Church
of San jJose has been burnt by the enemies
of the Chinese. A barn on New Park Farm
has also been reduced to ashes. This occurred only a few days before our visit.
Such wanton, wicked and unjustifiable conduct will not accomplish the design of those
so base as to practice if. These Chinese
laborers will not be driven from the San
Jose Valley or the State. Additional numbers arrive by every vessel from China.
New Park Farm may be regarded as superior to most farms in this region, because its
proprietor is willing to expend thousands to
gratify his fancy; but still there arc scattered
through this valley hundreds of tarins, valued

wells in the region vary from two to five
hundred feet. The question arises, will not
these wells ere long drain the fountain from
whence they are supplied? Probably not,
unless California should be visited by a succession of very dry seasons. In boring these
wells, first there is a stratum of gravel, but
below that a layer of clay, and then another
layer of gravel. The water is found in the
lower layer of gravel ; so reported our informant, who bad been engaged in sinking
one or more of these .well*, We are not
aware us similar wells have been successfully
sunk iv any other region this side of the
Rocky Mountains, except in this valley of
San Jose.
MAY HAY.

This is a famous day among young and
old in California. It is a day for celebrations
and picnics. We left Santa Clara in the
morning, and expected to hare spent the day
at Redwood, but we fortunately fell in with
a party inviting us to visit the picnic grounds
at Belinount, where would gather four Subbath-schools belonging to four Congregational
churches of San Francisco. At the appointed
time arrived about 1,400 children, accompanied by their superintendents and teachers.
They were soon dispensed over the grounds
and through the groves. The region was
alive with merry and happy children released
from the confinement of schools and city life.
It was pleasant to witness this great concourse, some engaged in one kind of sport
and some in another. Among them we noticed those belonging to the orphan school,
numbering nearly two hundred. They were
dressed uniformly, and are well taken care
of, so we were informed, but still our heart
felt sad in view of so many growing up without knowing a futher's and a mother's kind,
protecting nnd fostering care. On our return
to the city the train of cars was very long,
and drawn by two engines. There could not

have been less than 2,000 persons upon the
train, and so far as we have learned no accident occurred on that happy May Day.

AHTESIAN WELLS OK SAN JOSE VALLEY.

These wells are worthy of more than a
passing notice. Such is the geological formation of this region, that in many parts of
the valley (though not all) artesian wells
have been found to send forth an inexhaustible supply ol pure water. One of the deepest of these wells is upon the New Park
Farm. This well is 700 feet deep, and in
24 hours will send forth water sufficient to
fill a reservoir holding 250,000 gallons. This

trembling a nil fearing—they shall froth perish in the lie they have believed ; " for they
have not fled for refuge to lay hold on ihe
hope set before them " in the gospel, but they
have fled to a refuge of lies. It is sometimes

said it matters not what a man lielieves, providing he is candid and honest in his belief
But does it not? A hungry man may believe a stone to be a loaf of bread, will it
however satisfy his hunger? Will it matter
anything whether the merchant takes with
him to market current mnticy with which to
purchase goods? Can he by any amount of
believing convert pewter or brass into gold?
Yes tlearly beloved, we will be held accountable by God for our beliefs. So if a man
rests his eternal salvation on a false object,
he must of necessity perish, and no amount
of believing will save him. Man prefers to
rely on his own ingenuity rather than on the
wisdom of Godj he prefers his own system
to that which God lias provided ; he will tax
his own brain for something to satisfy; he
will depend on his own good behavior rather
than on the grace and mercy of God for the
salvation of his soul. Man's religion keeps
God at a distance, God'i brings him nigh.
Homage to God, but not communion with
him, is the object of the former ; nearness of
fellowship antl companionship, coupled with
lowliest reverence, is the aim of the latter.
Man says, "God is my enemy, and must hi;
appeased; or, he is at the best a doubtful
friend, and must be kept at n distance; he is
incomprehensible and unapproachable, and
therefore enn have no common sympathies
with me. I will lay my gift upon his altar,
and retire out of his presence." God says,
Man is my creature, and though he is a
"sinner,
dreading, but not loving me, I will
not leave him to his misery; I will come
nigh ; I will speak with him in love ; I will
win back his confidence, and teach him to
love me ; I will make him feel that I am not
his enemy, but his friend ; I will show him
that in my favor is life, and that companionship with me is the joy and health of his
being." Man's religion begins by enjoining
worship—God's by preparing the worshiper.
And here the difference is as wide as it is
striking. The main idea that man has in
connection with worship is, that it is the
means of securing acceptance and effecting
reconciliation with God. And it matters not
whether you believe in these human systems
with confidence or whether you believe in
them, with trembling doubt and apprehension,
they shall perish in their iniquity who rest
upon such refuges of lies, for there is no offering in them, nor in anything in earth or
heaven for the sinner to save hia soul but the
blood of our crucified Redeemer. It is the
nature that is corrupt. It is the perverted
heart, will nnd affections, which produce perverted actions; the activities themselves arc
neither good nor bad, in themselves considered. They have no moral character, only
as it is given by the motive, intention, or
purpose. And the fountain cannot be purified by throwing saltinto the stream ; neither
can the heart of roan be renewed by mere
discipline or education. To suppose this is
to mistake the true character of man, and
his relation to God and eternity. No, my
hearers, " by grace are ye saved," and faith
is merely the instrumental means. Faith is

essential as the medium through which.

46

sirt-.-ims ol healing must flow into the soul.
Aa the atmosphere iibovc nnd around us is
the medium through which the genial rays
of the sun reach our earth, and causes it to
blossom and bud, bringing forlli seed to the
sower and bread to the eater, so also is our
faith the channel of blessing to our souls.
Let me aguin illustrate true faith. Two
shipwrecked mariners are buffeting their way
from a wreck to a rock. One is confident
and joyous—the other trembling and fearing,
lest the waves should overwhelm him nnd
sweep him ngain into the bosom of the deep;
but the rock is inaccessible to the waves, nnd
both are equally secure. Why ? It is not
the courugo or confidence of the one thut
saves him, but because he is on the rock.
All the doubts .-tint fears of the other cannot
ovcrwhelrii hint. Why? Because notwitlitauding all his doubtl and fears, he is on I
rock too. So when sinners hnve indeed
'• lied
for refuge to lay hold upon the hope
set lieforu them," when they have indeed
fled to Jesus—the Kock, the Fortress of their
salvation, whether they believe with joyous,
lightsome heart, with full assurance of faith,
or whether they arc, us many are, doubting,
trembling, fearing in the weakness and unbelief of their own hearts, still they arc both
equullv secure, for both are resting on the
" Rock of Ac«'s." Jesus is the hope, Jesus
is the Rock, Jesus is the salvation of them
both. Let DM not be misunderstood. Faith
is ns essential to your salvation as the blood
of Christ, but on very different grounds and
tor a very different purpose. In respect to
our ultimate salvation it matters not whether
we live in the possession of a strong, confident, joyous faith or not. If our faith is a
true taith, that is, having Christ ns our personal friend and Redeemer for its object,
'hen our sulvatiou is secure. But it does
make a great difference in our efficiency as
laborers in the Lord's vineyard, and in our
enjoyment and religious experience, whether
we live in possession of a joyous, confident
faith or not. Our loyalty to Christ requires
that we should so live ; nnr privilege as children of God requires it; ourefliciency in his
service requires it. He who so lives, and n
stands upon the rock, has nothing to fear,
.and he has both hands to extend to his per-

•

ishing fellow-men. Then too, it honors
Christ so to live, while he of the trembling
faith is always in doubt and fear, and has to
cling, as it were, with one hand to the rock,
and therefore has but one to extend to .lying
mortals—a one-handed Christian, but, gets
■■afc, being on the rock. Whercforcjthc babe
in Christ is as safe as the father in Christ.
The weakest believer is as safe as the strongest, because it is not their faith, but Christ,
:hat saves them. It is not by faith you are
saved through grace, but "by grace arc ye
saved through taith." Grace is that which
gives salvation, and therefore, that he might
" be strong in the Lord, and in the power of
might," Paul exhorts Timothy to bo
rorig in (he grace that is in Christ Jesus."

Christ Jesus his Lord. How hard it is when
persons have taken up a false system, and
have not been rightly instructed in God's

truth, in drive these vain fancies out of their
minds! How often have the siivanls of
God iircn seen doubting and trembling, and
writing bitter things against themselves, even
on the bed of death, liei-ause instead of looking to Jesus us their till, ihey were looking
into themselves for confidence, and expecting
comfort and courage from the strength of
their faith, instead of from ('hrist, the strength
of their salvation. You who Hre strong in
the faith of Christ Jesus—you who are resting with joyous confidence tin your Lord, In
ware we are in an enemy's land, ami always
in danger. " Let him that thinketh lie
stnndeth, take heed lest be fall." We are
often solicited by the adversary, when faith
is sirong, to look away from Christ lo ourselves, to transfer our confidence from Jesus
to our faith, Beware let! the confidence of
faith should be degenerated into confidence
in faith. The Apostle says, " When I am
weak, then nin I strong.n Strong faith is
often S very hard trietl laith. Recollect
strong faith ought lo be victorious faith,
"This is the victory that overconteth the
world, even our faith." Those of you who
are weak in the faith that is in Christ Jesus—
trembling mid doubting.—if indeed yon arc
looking unto him, take courage,—look out til
your faith. It is not your faith, it is Jesus
that saves you. It is not the strength of
your own confidence, it is the strength of him
in whom you confide. Think of this ; lift
up your hearts. Remember that Jesus is the
same to the Weakest as to the strongest., The
rock is the same to the man thai trembles on
it, as to the man who stands with the stoutest heart upon it. Jesus is the same to both.
() weak believers ! lift up your hands that
hang down ; you may be " walking in darkness, and have no light; " but he that does
SO, " let him trust in the Lord, and stay himself upon his God, iv darkness as well as
in light,— in doubts ns well as in confidence,
in difficulty as well as in the easy course of
prosperity." Therefore lift up the hands
that hang down, and the feeble knees. Let
the weak take courage, let the strong "watch
and pray." Remember the character of your
shepherd; remember what is said, "He
gathcreth the lambs in his arms, and Carrieth
them in his bosom, and gently lendeth those
that are with young." The strong walk

You then that are weak and weary, heavy

oh look out of yourselves to Jems, cast
your burden on Christ. He is able to sustain it—he is mighty to bear it. Remember,
are the everlasting nrms." The

thatched with cocoa leaf, having a door of

made of split bamboo', which gives it a neat

morning I preached ; Rev. J. W. Kaiwi followed with my sermon in Marauesan ; after

which Kauwealoha made some remarks, antl
the meeting was closed. Tim Sabbath-school
ilicn began ; verses from different parts ol
the Scripture were recited by all. There
were about 48 pcismis present at the morning service. Altera sliurl recess,the people

Supper. Twenty communicants were present Iron) live ur six different nations. The
Lord was with us; it was good to lie there.
The pastor of the church presided, and was
aided by Kaiwi. Alter the communion 1

1 II I.
Editor'sTable.

Our "table" we take with us in our travels,
nnd hove had laid upon it several fine specimens of books published in California. One of
these is a volume of Sermons recently
issued by Roman & Co., from the pen of
the Key. Charles Wadsworth, D. D., Minister of Calvary Church, Son Francisco. The
volume contains twenty sermons, and if they
arc a fair sample of the style of sermonizing
by the Pastor of Calvary Church, then most
surely his people are highly favored. There
is simplicity of plan, beauty of style, luckiness of arrangement, aptness of illustration,
and force of expression, which render them
models of n certain style of pulpit oratory.
We liave read several of these sermons, viz.,
those entitled '• The Child's Teacher," "God's
Thoughts," " Young Man's Mission," "The
Mother's Sorrow," and we shall not fail to
read every sermon contained in the volume,
for more profitable and entertaining rending
is seldom to be found. These sermons evince
a finish, culture, earnestness and wealth of
thought which arc seldom to be met with in
this age of preachers who labor for popular
effect. The minister of the Gospel who
comes before his congregation with such

well-digested and carefully prepared sermons,
will not fail to gather around him a class of
thoughtful, serious-minded and devout hearers
and thinkers. Having read these sermons,
we felt a strong desire to hear Dr. Wadsworth
preach. This privilege we enjoyed on the
first Sabbath in May. His sermon was on the
text, John 11:15—"And lam glad for
your sakes that I was not there, to the intent
ye may believe." The style of this discourse
strikingly resembled that of his printed sermons. This was delivered in the vestry of
the new Calvary Church. In two or three
weeks, the congregation is expecting to worship in the new church. It is internally one
of the finest audience-rooms, designed for a
church, which we have seen in San Francisco.
It will comfortably seat a thousand and more.
The style of finish may be inferred from the
cost of the edifice, which will be nearly
SIOO.OOO, aside from the ground, which cost
$40,000. The location is in the most central part of the city. The external architecture of the edifice is very peculiar. It is
surely not Gothic, or Doric, or nny other
style of church building we have ever seen.
Ten turrets rise from the square top. It has
no tower, but seems designed to be built of
solid masonry, well designed to withstand
earthquakes. Perhaps this idea was running
in the architect's mind. It is a good, solid
edifice—long may it stand, and in it may its
eloquent and thoughtful pastor long stand to
preach "Christ and Him crucified" to the
crowds of eager and listening; hearers, as they
may gather on the Sahbatb and other occasions.
