Chamberlain.—Died in Honolulu, August
22nd. J. Evarts Chamberlain. The deceased
wss the son of Mr. Levi Chamberlain, who

served the American Mission most faithfully
as Secular Agent from 1822 to 1849. Evarts
was born in Honolulu, February sth, 1831,
and died at the age of 51. Educated in the
United States, at Chester, N. H., East Hampton, Mass., and Phillips Academy, M»ss.,
and also at Williams College and Cambridge
Law School. As an Editor and Soldier, Lawyer and citizen, and also as Police Judge in
Honolulu, he acquitted himself with much
credit, but he especially commended himself
to our esteem when sickness and disease,
compelled him to give up nnd retire from
professional labors. When henlth abounds,
business prospers and the world looks bright,
a man may acquit himself honorably, but
when disappointment overtakes him and life
is a burden, 'how then?'' It wsa under
such circumstances, that our friend, appears
to the best sdvantage—gentle, kind, uncomplaining. He found a welcome home in the
family of Mr. George Wilcox, Lihue. Kauai,
where we last saw and conversed with him.
We cannot refrain from alluding to one
method of passing his time, in which we do
not imagine, he will have many imitators or
followers. We refer to his spending months
on Molokai and other Islands of the gronp,
preaching and laboring among the Hawaiians
living along the seashore, lar away from
towns or villages, and vhile thus searching
out the people, spending a portiotrof his
time collecting th t peculiar speciea of seamosses known as Algm, and sending the
same to be further examined by learned Botanists at Cambridge, Mass, and elsewhere.
We are not aware as any other collector of

is peculiarly fascinating to persons fond of
Puritan history, New EngUnd theological
opini' ns, and a philosophy culminating in
the Concord school.

While we are writing, another upheaval
in New England thought and lile is displayed in the appointment of a successor to
Professor Parke of Andover. The end is
not yet. We look for the news of the next
phase of the controversy with almost as
much interest as we do the telegrams from
Egypt. To understand the Andover controversy, the history of the Concord School
needs to be studied. Such books as the one
now lying before us are important in showing the progress of theological opinions in
New England, hence we return our sincere
thanks to the gentleman who has so kindly
laid it upon our table.
Pounds for Bacchus—Pennies for Christ.

Some days since the editor met a mechanic near a liquor saloon, and said to
him: •' How is it that you can. work so
hard to support such establishments? Do
you not give a third part of your wages for
their support?" His reply was: ''More
than that." He then went on to say, that
for 21 years he had bjen a laborer in Honolulu, and tul'y one-half of his wages had
gone for liquor, hence he admitted that over
110,000 h.d gone for rum. or 8500 per an
num for Bacchus!
There are but few professing Christians
in this city who can say that, for twenty
years, they have given annually $500 for
the support of the Gospel. Tell us who is
the one man that has done it! Hence we
say, ' Pounds for Bacchus and pennies tor
Christ." We think we could point to individual saloons in this city, supported by the
laboring man uiid merchants, which derive a
revenue exceeding the total cost for supporting both '• Fort-street Church" and the

for benevolent enterprises. If our business
men, planters, and others would thus set
apart a tenth, or thereabouts, for these purposes, then our " churches " '• Young Men's
Christian associ tions," "missionary societies." and other benevolent enterprises,
would not so often become bankrupt.
The Trustees of '• Oahu College," " Young
Men's Christian Association," and other
objects are culling for fund.. Men, acting
upon principle ought to be ready to lend a
helping hand, without being urged. The
real value of a gift is enhanced by the generous spirit which urges forward the donor.
Some men in making their donations, do
it so grudgingly, that what they do give
loses half its value. There are rich men
who ought to give liberally for the generous
support of all these good objects, but when
they are asked to give, it is done most reluctantly. The solicitor feels more like
giving it himself than even approaching one
of these curmudgeons.
American Artisans.

A writer in Chambers' Journal, speaking
of American workmen, says : What I have
said of the building tr dcs applies to all
others. Indeed the higher dexterity, taste
and skill a business requires, the more does
the American workman respond to the demand. The plasticity of type to which I
have referred is nowhere seen so plainly
as in the domain of the useful arts. Germans and Frenchmen have given a finish to
American manufactures that is wanting
in our own. Besides there is a native
neatness, the result of a high ideal of excellence. This matter deserves the attention of British manufacturers who are
looking many markets simply fr.im the
clumsiness of their goods. There is rising
in the United States a race of artists, designers
and artificers who promise to surpiss those
of all others n tions The fervor of the
clim.te develops the aesthetic side of m n,
the chsh of millions of e:tger inventive
minds is producing a standard of excellence
that is both novel and exalted; the possibilities of we«lth are vastly beyond those of
any European state, »nd the love of the
elegant and the beautiful prevades nil classes. The inevitable sequence of these cond tions must be wide-spread all-dominating
art. It is seen in the gorgeous public buildings, in the exquisite villas, in the light yet
strong furniture, in the beautiful appointments of the drawing-rooms and table equipages ; while every American lady, yea,
though black, is living evidence of innate
taste in dress that makes the English suffer
by contrast. Into every avenue of life this
characteristic of taste goes, modifying manners and behavior as much as architecture.

The tendency in the community at large
is to support churches, colleges, missionary
societies, and various other benevolent enterprises, by voluntary contributions. Now
we argue that professing Christians and
others should allow the support of these enterprises to be viewed as a part of their
business in life. In estimating their expenditures for the year, benevolent enterprises
should form a part of their out-goes. Some furniture, dress, ornaments and tools."

Cup.

There is grief in the cup!
I saw a proud mother set wine on the board ;
The eyes of her son sparkled bright as she poured
The ruddy stream into the glass in his hand.
The cup was of silver ; the lady was grand
In her satins and laces ; her proud heart was glad
In the love of her fair, noble son ; but oh ! sad,
Oh I so sad, a year had passed by.
And the soft light had gone from her beautiful eye.
For the boy that she lovod, with a love strong as
death,
In the chill hour of morn, with a drunkard's foul
breath,

And the drunkard's ftcrco oath, reeled and stagnant his way
To his home,—a dark blot on the face of the day.
There is shame in the cup !
The tempter said, "Drink!" and a fair maiden
quaffod
Till her cheeks glowed the hue of the dangerous
draught;

The voice of the tempter spoke low in her ear
Words that once would have started the quick, angry tear;
Hut wine blunts the conscience, and wine dulls the
brain.
She listened and smiled, and ho whispered again ;
He lifted the goblet; " Once more," he said
•Drink!"
And the soul of the maiden was lost in the brink.
There is death in the cup !
A man in God's imn"e, noble, and grand.
With talents that ei-atviiud him a prince of the
land,

Bip]ied the ruddy led win.- ripped it lightly at
first.
Until from its chains broke the demon of thirst;
And thirst liecame master, and man liecame slave,
And he endod his life in the drunkard'spoor grave ;
Wealth, fame, talents. Isjanty, and life swallowed
up.
Grief, shame, death, destruction are all m the cup.

"I want to Give, but I do not want my
Name to Appear."
No doubt there are such persons whose
modesty would be shocked to see their names
in print, opposite a good, generous subscription. We have a suggestion to make to
meet such c ses. Let it be done as follows:

"Consecration."—We hare heard men
talk about consecration, and use similar
terms descriptive of Christian life, but we
are confident we speak within the limits of
truth, when we assert that some of those
men expend for cigars more than all they
give for benevolent objects, including even
the support of the gospel and belpinj the

this is in the Hawaiian language. What
renders this poetical effusion, a subject of
interest is the fact, that Dr. Sanerwein, has
acquired his knowledge of tho Hawaiian

and to which he has given attention.
We remember to have received a call from

THE rRI I N I>.
Rev. Joseph Cook in Japan.

The Rev. Mr. Ballngh, an American Missionary in Japan, has kindly forwarded by the
hand of Mr. Joho Cavanagh an old and
former resident on the Hawaiian Islands,
the copy of a Lecture, delivered by Mr.
Cook in Japan. Our limits will only allow
us to copy as follows

person*, several men of prominence in government or political circles being present.

The lecture was rendered into Japanese
very effectively by the Rev lbuku Kiijinos'ke.
En-ores were given to both the English and
Japanese speakers showing the lecturer's
language was intelligible to many of his
Japanese hearers. As the seating capacity
of the hull wns insufficient for all, about
500 persons stood outside during the two
hours required for the double delivery of the
lecture. This s the more remarkable considering the serious nature of the topic of
the lecture. In no case whs even smile
raised and it d. monstrates that a Japanese
audience is capable of listening patiently
and even enthusiastically to a speaker and a
subject worthy of their attention The following is the substance of the lecture :
theme is 'the religions signs of the

let them imitate Japan in her reforms, whose

be reached when the rays of her sun become
identical with those of the sun of righteousness. But 1 must disclose to you the stern
truth of history—weak and backward nations
must reform or they must be absorbed by
more powe ful nations. 1 hold that all aggressions on other nations for such purposes
are wicked, but there is enough wickedness

concluded with a powerful appeal to all present to attend earnestly to the invitations and
claims of Christianity. At the close, the
Rajah Sambhu Narayan Sinha, who. next to
the Maharajah of Benares enjoys the highest place in the regard of the Hindoos of the
city, expressed in English, on behalf of the
native inhabitants much gratitude to Mr.

Cook fur favoring them with such an interesting and instructive oration. It is stated
that never before in the history of Benares
did such a large assembly, representing all
classes of the educated and influential Hindoos and Mohammedan inhabitants, listen to
a lecture on Christianity.—[tendon. Sunday ut Home.
Blending

of Races—Under the ameliorating
and soften'ng influence ol evangelistic effort we rejoice to witness a blending
of races on the Hawaiian Islands. There
is one, »nd on'y one, platform up n which
they fan meet, and that is under the common fatherhood of God and Brotherhood
of Christ. God has nude "all of one
blood;'' Christ "gave himself a ransom
for all;'' all have sinned, and all may be
saved through our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ. Now away, then, with these race
antagonisms ; labor to convert all to Christ,
and view all *s destined alike to the bar of
God; then shall we feel kindly towards all,
to whatever race or nationality they may
belong. It Would really seem as if God
was now causing a difficult and vastly important problem to be worked out in this
little Island Kingdom. There is not a sufficiently large population so that those of
any one race can stand aside and aloof,
forming a clan; all races must come in
contact. There may be some attrition and
rubbing, but let missionaries, C.tholic and
Protestant; Gospel ministers, English and
American; evangelists and other laborers,
including the female lab rers in Bible classes
and otherwise, work earnestly and harmoniously together—then will come a happy
blending of races into one truly Christian

brotherhood

A Sermon on Tobacco.
Rev. Dr. Frederick K. Marvin, pastor of

the First Congregational church of Portland,
Oregon, has taken strong ground with regard to tobacco. He preached a sermon on
Cleanliness, and Self-respect."
"TheHappiness,
sermon was reported in the Morning
Oregonian, and sneaks for itself. After explaining that happiness is not the immediate
gratification of every passing emotion, and
transient passion and impulse, but consists
in the harmonious and symmetrical development of man's entire nature he proceeded
to s!*.ow tha' a cle-tn, self-iespecting boyhood
and girlhood must be the foundation nnd

preparation for a beautiful and noble life.
The Doctor handled tobacco without, compromises, and urged young men to have
nothing to do with the weed," which he
pronounced a useless and noxious plant. He
defended his position from various objections
by citing the opinions of distinguished physicians and physiologists in Europe and
America. He said that in the government
naval school at Annapolis tobacco is prohibited, and that the students in Girard College,
Philadelphia, are not permitted to use it.

Pacific, August 9th.
It is an interesting fact, that Mr.
Cook, commenced his career »s a Lecturer
under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.of
Boston. We copy the following from Harper's Weekly for April 21, 1377
"At the request of t'te Young Men's
Christian Association of Huston, he next
took charge of a noonday prayer-meeting in
a small hall in the basement of Tremont
Temple. By a growth us natural as it was
steady his audiences increased until he was
compelled to remove to Park Street church,
and thence to Tremont Temple itself. During all this winter there has been in Boston
no sight quite so well worth seeing as that of
the three thousand people packing the building to hear him, from twelve to one o'clock
every Monday, multitudes being unable to
obtain admission But the numbers are
nothing compared to the fact that they arc ol
the very best Boston has of intellect and influence, a very large proportion being from
"among those who have had no sympathy
with that orthodoxy which is the substance
and soul of all that the orator has to say.
For he is an orator. As his likeness shows,
Mr. Cook is an athelete in bodily power. He
speaits beside his chair, from which he tikes
the volume out of which he quotes, or the
scrap of memorandum he.has made. His
style is purely conversational, and is yet
clear, concise, and terse in thought and language, leaving a|l ipference from what he
has said largely to tho m tnentum of the
thought itself, apd never detaining and tiring
his hearers by telling them about what it is
inevitable they should both think and feel »s
the result of all he has established. He
quotes freely from his extensive reading, his
memory seeming to retain in wonderful variety, like a magnet drawn through it all that
which is of the nature of his own thought,
and that from authors wholly opposed in
general to orthodoxy, some of the most genuine sensations of the hour being the unexpected testimony of Goethe, Carlyle, Emekson, as well as the German rationalists, to
the truth he is advocating, the effort of the
speaker being to get at the undermost and

:

innermost soul of his hearer by repeating the
deepest and most intuitive soul of the profoundest thinkers of every land and age.
Frequently the orator abandons prose and
rises into poetry, like flame from coal, a? by
the intensity of his thought and feeling.
Let these lines of Mr. Cook's own composition illustrate the defects as well as fervors
of h s intensity, so far, at least, ns mere
poetry is concerned. He is speaking—and
it is the supreme thought of nil he soys—of
a personal fiod :"
Bounds of siiii-i.'i-t.npH none can see ;
Worlds God droppcth on His knee ;
Galaxies that loftiest swarm
Float liefoie a loftier Form.
" Mighty the speed of suns and worlds,
Mightier Who these onward hurls ;
Pure the conscience' fiery bath,
Purer fire God's lightning hath.
11

Brighter He who nisketh bright
" Jasper,
beyrl, chrysolite;

"

Lucent more than they, Whose hands
Girded up Orion's bands,
Sweot the spring, but sweeter still
He who doth its 088—88 till;
God is love, but bitter Who
Givcth love its power to woo.

! tho Maker, greater He,
" Lo
Better than His works, must be ;

"

Of the works the lowest star
Thought can scale, but fainteth there.
Thee, with all our strength and heart,
God, wo love for what Thou art;
Ravished we, obedient now,
Only, only Perfect Thou."

The Evangelistic Work Among the Chinese.

Mr. F. Damon spent six weeks among the
Chinese on Hawaii, visiting all the Plantations, commencing at the South, in the Kau
District >nd passing on to llilo, and from
thence through ililo to Laupihoehoe, nnd
Hamakua, Waimea to KohaN, where he
spent several days, and was most cordially
assisted by the Key. Mr. Bond and others.
He writes from Wailuku, where he arrived on the 19th ult., and was visiting
among the Chinese on the Wailuku, Waihee and Waikapu Plantations, expecting on
next Sunday to

be at Paia.

It is gratifying to witness the progress
of Kaumakapili Church towards completion
under the prudent and energetic management of Henry Waterhouse, Esq. He is
engaged in a goad work. When men throw
themselves right into an enterprise, it is
bound to succeed.
Kaumakapili Church —Some one has
donated $600 to fit up the surroundings of
this church. Lewers & Cooke have floored
the main audience room, apanas or districts
are putting in the windows. This is benevolence in the right direction. We hope,
others will follow their-example
