VALEDICTORY.
Forty-two years ago, the 18th of this
month, was issued Volume I, No. 1, of
The Friend. During all these subsequent years, the subscriber has been lx.th
publisher and editor. It is a period embracing the best part of a half century,
and covering the reigns of three Kings,
and parts of two others. Vast have been
the changes in this '< Island world of the
Pacific" during this period; and if the
reader will perilse the more than 4,000
pages of this monthly, he may gether no
unreliable and untrustworthy history of
the past half century. There is no such
complete record, in the Governmentarchives or church records, of deaths and
marriages among foreigners, or of the
arrival and departure of ships, and passengers, besides a vast amount of useful
A historian
historical memoranda.
might confine his research to the more
than forty volumes of this paper, and
write a history of Polynesia, including
its commerce, and the progress of Missions. So valuable has the Friend become in a historical point of view, that
yearsago a request came from the British
Museum for a complete file, and even
now Mr. Bancroft, the historian of the
Pacific coast, is employing one of his
secretaries in carefully gleaning data
from its pages. Here are found the full
reports of the whaling fleet, the early
accounts of the gold discovery in California and Australia, and also a full and
complete history of Missions in the Hawaiian Islands, Micronesia and other
groups. Special attention has been always given to th* last mentioned topic,

;

appendix to the "Acts of the ApotttM."
In retiring from the active management of this paper, I cannot but express
my unfeigned satisfaction that the enterprize has passed over to publishers, in
whom the Christian public has such entire confidence, thus affording the assurance that the aims and purposes of Tin-:
Friknd will be even better carried out
than they have been in
Pastors Cruzan and Oggel enter upon
their duties with every prospect of a
successful career of usefulness in this department of Christian effort. This paper
occupies a peculiar sphere, and I rejoice
that its life is to be perpetuated under
such favorable auspices. I trust all old
subscribers and many additional new
ones will aid in its liberal support.
In closing my lal>ors as publisher and
editor, I desire to return my unfeigned
thanks to all subscribers, contributors
and donors. There is only one name I
will publish, which is that of E. Dunscombe, my ever faithful clerk for over
twenty years. I would gladly record
one other, but I know permission would
not be given. Neither will I forget to
mention the printers, who have always
been piomptly paid when their quarterly
bills were presented, whatever might
have been the amount of The Friend's
credit at tne bank. Thus more than
$20,000 have been disbursed, or than
$80,000, including the bills for paper.
During all these years, with the exception of the Y. M. C. A.'s contribution,
the publisher has not relied for support
on any Benevolent or Mission Societies.
In concluding this brief valedictory, I
cannot refrain from acknowledging the
kind Providence, under whose sustaining care and guidance, more than a half
million copies of this paper have been
scattered broad-cast among landsmen and
seamen. It affords satisfaction that this
little sheet has cheered the cabins and
forecastles of thousands of vessels as they
have cruised in these Pacific waters and
the Arctic seas. With the kindest wishes
to my successors and the reading public,
S. C. Damon,
Late Publisher & Editor of Tlie Friend.

The Friend needs no introduction
The parting words of Dr. Damon tell
of a continuous existence through fortytwo years of this monthly publication,
whose further management has been entrusted to our care.
In these parting words Dr. Damon sets
forth clearly and comprehensively the
history of The Friend and the wide
influence which it has exerted during
these many years.
An influence that is far reaching, as
well in the various and distant parts of
the earth to which The Friend has
wended its way as in the unnumbered
lives which it has touched and moulded
beneficently for time and the hereafter.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.
It is said in the Apocalyptic vision
.hut at some point in the oncoming history of humanity, Time will cease to be.
How far off or how near this cessation of
Time is, we do not know. But the fact
itself is announced. All divisions and
measurements of days and months, years
and centuries, shall end. The stream of
Time will flow into the ocean of eternity, and the ever-changing present be
succeeded by the immutable hereafter.
The mind naturally turns to this
theme at the near terminus of the Old
and the threshold of a New Year.
How Time flies ! Truly and beautifully Queen Charlotte said : "I am always quarreling with Time; it is so
short to do something and so long to do
nothing."
Time never halts. Banks suspend and
human plans are thwarted, but amid
financial disasters, the disturbances of
war, the ravages of eaithquake, cyclone
and pestilence, and the commotions in
tbe affairs of nations, Time contiuues its
ever onward march.
Progress is the watchword of men,
cities and kingdoms. Nations do not
al ways remain the same. They come up
from barbarism and idolatry to civilization and Christianity. Science in all
departments is constantly advancing.
What changes and improvements have
been wrought by movable type, by gunpowder, steam and electricity ? Former
tilings are ever passing away, and the
future will be better than the present,
Thus the individual Christian should

4

s
grow in all the graces and in usefulness
as the years come ami go. For what
would lie thought of a man who should
constantly attempt to amuse himself
with the toys that interested him when
he was a child ? To a young man the
memories of childhood and youth become
things of the past. His native town becomes too small for his ambition and
aims. He leaves his lioyhood's home,
with a Bible from his mother in his
trunk, perhaps to get tin education, or
for better chances in business.
Thus tlie Christian's motto should lie :
Onward and upward. With all things
around us advancing, a Christian standing still, or doing nothing, would be an
anomaly in God's creation.
With Improvements in art, Literature
and law, shall not the Christian bead tin?
list in earnest effort for God's glory and
the good of man ?
The close of one year and the commencement of another call upon all for a
review and a look forward. It should
lie to everyone what the settling time,
or the time to balance liooks, is to the
man of business.
This time has always and impressively reminded us of such themes as the
solemnity of living, human responsibility, the glory of Christian work, and
kindred matters.
We think of a hymn that tells of
''Nothing but leaves and years of
wasted life," a song of sadness ! Will
anyone, as 1884 is passing away, have to
say of himself, "Through all the months
of this closing year I have borne nothing
but leaves."
And this with an open Bible suying,
No man liveth to himself." No! for
the facts of duty and mutual helpfulness
are proved by the very fact of one's own
One cannot
existence. Carlyle says:
move a step without meeting a duty,"
In public prayer we have often beard
the expression, '< We are unprofitable
servants." This is a wrong application
of a Scriptural phrase.
As Christians we are doubtless useful
to God, who, through human instrumentalities, is carrying out bis merciful
designs. But we cheerfully admit that,
as "the light of the world" in an intimate and living union with our Lord,
we might and ought to be much more
profitable, and that the Christian church
as a whole, by a more thorough and
complete surrender of itself to Christ,
might be far more instrumental and efficient for human salvation than it has
been heretofore.
As we look ahead and realize that the
clock of Time some day will stop and
the hand of God will wind it up no
more, and the whirl and excitement and
toil of life shall cease, let us learn the
meaning of our existence and appreciate
our God-given opportunities.
Then will our departure to a higher
sphere of living and of labor be like a
glorious crown which God's hand will
put on a noble, well-spent life.
Thus tbe Old will vanish while the

"

"

New is to dawn sinless, tearless and
cloudless..
And the glory of the future is in this
also, that in tbe New, thjit shall follow
the Old, there will lie the blissful reunion of friends. Now, if the Old were
always to continue, there could bono reunion. But the New is coming, and
coming without an attendant train of
trials and tears, of parting and pain.
Hence this revelation of the New is a
fair vision and a source of hope and
strength to the tried and tempted and
those bereaved and bowed down. And
we apprehend that the checkered scenes
of intermingled joys and sorrows arc
subservient to our best interests and conducive to the augmenting of our felicity
hereafter. For the reminiscences of the
past will be fountains of profit and gladness, as the joy of the safe landing is increased by the remembrance of the
storms and perils of the voyage.
It has since long been a custom for
persons upon the first day of the year to
salute one another with good wishes.
Subjects have done so to their rulers,
children exchanged these greetings with
parents, pastors with their people, and
friends with each other. In conformity
with this time-honored and beautiful
custom, we wish all our readers on the
Islands and abroad a happy New Year.

FROMMICRONESIA.
The "Jennie Walker," Captain Holland, arrived in this port from Micronesia
on Wednesday, the 24th of December,
having had a prosperous voyage, although absent nearly a month longer
than was anticipated.
It will be remembered that she was
chartered by the Hawaiian Board to
take Rev. R. W. Logan and family and
Miss A. A. Calmer on their mission
work in Western Micronesia, and also
to take forward tlie supplies for the missions of the American Board in Micronesia and to bring back the crew of the
wrecked "Morning Star" and such
missionaries as might be waiting to
come.
Having landed the supplies at Kusaie
ami Ponape, on the voyage out, she proceeded to the Mortlock Islands and link
with the Logans, landing them with
their supplies at the Island of Uole, in
Ruk Lagoon, where a favorable site for
their station was Obtained, and with the
help of two carpenters from Ponape, the
frame of their house was put up, roofed
over, and enclosed, and the floors laid
before the vessel sailed on her return.
She returned to Kusaie, arriving there
early in November. Left Kusaie Novemlier 7th with Rev. E. M. Pease,
M. D., and family, Rev. G. Leleo, Mrs.
K. Haina, and the crew of the
Morning Star" and two other passengers.
Touched at Jaluit, and arrived at Honolulu after a rather protracted passage of
forty-eight days from Kusaie, ten of
which were occupied in the passage between that island and Jaluit.
• Dr. Pease and family are in fair health,

"

but much needing a rest of a year to
recruit in the United States, whither
they will shortly proceed.
The reports from the mission stations
are in general favorable. Miss Palmer,
though destined for Ponape to assist
Miss Fletcher in her girls' school there,
remains this year on Kusaie, as associate
for Miss Cathcart during the absence of
Dr. and Mrs. Pease.
Mr. und Mrs. Walkup were in usual
health, and busy in their training school
for Gilbert Islanders.
At Ponape, Miss Fletcher's school was
quite flourishing, numbering fifteen
girls.

Mr. Logan writes from Ruk that their
prospects there were inspiriting, the
people receiving them very, cordially.
The live stock they took with them on
the '(Jennie Walker" stood the voyage
well, and arrived in good condition at
Ruk. It is hoped that an associate
family may be stationed there with the
Logans in another year.

WANTED, ACCURATE INFORMATION.
There is great need for some one to
put in compact shape information in regard to these Islands, for the benefit of
tourists, and then our steamship lines,
the hotel, and other inteiested parties
should scatter it broadcast, not only over
the Pacific Coast, but also in the Interior
and the Eastern States of America.
Hawaii is but a speck upon the map, so
it is not strange that among the most intelligent people, the densest ignorance
prevails. We know, for a short time
ago, when we faced towards the Islands
as a (xissible home, what we did not
know about Hawaii would have made a
much larger book than Miss Bird's,
while what we did know could have
been put in a small paragraph. To the
questions, What is the cost of the trip?
Is there a good hotel ? What is the cost
per week of room and board ? "What
are the facilities for visiting on the
other islands besides Oahu ? What outfit is needed in the way of clothing ?—
and dozens of others which any one planning a trip here would ask, where can
the information, briefly and plainly put,
be found '?
Some of the errors in information (?)

the Islands.

Oh, no. I have a friend who lives in

The wife of a prominent clergyman of
San Francisco, anxiously seeking information so that her family might come
to the Islands with suitable clothing,
was told by a former resident of this
city :
Your husband will not need any
coat down there ; all the gentlemen go
in their shirt-sleeves, it is so hot!"
Think of one of our congregations, or
worse still, a full-dress party, with the
gentlemen all without coats! It certainly would create a sensation.
I suppose this weather just suits you

panting, perspiring Honolulan, who was
caught in that city when the mercury
was waltzing around between 95 and 110
degrees ! In reply, some very emphatic
climatic information in regard to Hawaii
was imparted.

We regret to learn that Rev. Walter

Fort Street Church has been seriously ill,
but are glad to see by The Pacific of December 10th, that on the previous Sunday (December 7th), he was able to resume bis pulpit labors again.

the veteran missionary of the Marshall
Islands and Kusaie, is to be Chief Engineer of the Morning Star.
Owing to special services conducted
by Mrs. Hamp.on, the regular church
services will be so broken up during the
coming month that the pastors of the
Bethel and Fort-st. churches have
not thought it best to attempt to outline
any work for January.
Mrs. Partington stands as a type of
worshipers (?) in every community, and
Honolulu has a few of them. When
asked Where she went to church," the
dame replied, "O to any church where
the Gospel is dispensed with!" Fortunately Honolulu has no such church, and
if thi. class worship at all they must
listen to the Gospel.
The new headings used on this number of the Friend will disappear with
the next number, and new electrotypes,
ordered from San Francisco will take
their place. We are indebted to Mr.

Saturday Press for the temporary use of
these tasty headings.

Brother Goodell send your items, in

As will be apparent to all, we have
added four pages to the Friend. What
may not be so apparent to the casual
reader, we have widened the columns
also. By this change we not only greatly
improve the appearance of the paper,
but, what is much more important, we
gain a half column of space on each page,
which formerly was lost in an unsightly,
one-sided margin.
Rev. W. A. Swan, conveying with
him the aloha of hundreds of his friends
outside the English Church, has left us
for the Colonies, where he is to enter the
regular ministerial work. The pupils of
lolani College, of which he has been the
very successful Head-master, presented
him with a fine watch as a token of their
regard, and St. Andrew's Church put in
his hands a well-filled purse—and he deserved it all.
The Chronicle, the organ of the Anglican Church in Hawaii, hasjust entered
upon its third year, and celebrates the
event by appearing with a much improved "head." The editorial "head"'
remains the same, and could not well be
improved, for Rev. Messrs. Mcintosh
and Wallace have demonstrated that
they know how to make an interesting
religious newspaper. We wish our colleague all success, and hope that ere it
reaches the venerableage of the Friend
it may count its readers by the thousand.

In our well-filled advertising columns
our subscribers will find the names of
most of Honolulu's sterling firms. We
can vouch for the reliability and fairdealing of our advertising patrons. We
shall rigidly exclude from our columns
the advertisements of business houses
or men with cloudy reputations for
honesty. Consequently our subscribers
on the other Islands, or in other countries,
can confidently order by mail anything
needed from any firm advertising in The
Friend.
The Mission Children's Society held
their monthly meeting Saturday evening, December 27th, at
Woodlawn,"
the residence of Mr. B. F. Dillingham.
The exercises throughout were full of
interest. It was especially agreeable to
have a cousin present, in the person of
Dr. E. M. Pease, from Strong's Island,
who gave an interesting account of the
missionary work in the regions from
which he hailed. There were also
present the Revs. W. B. Oleson, from
Hilo, Hawaii, who spoke briefly of what
is being done in the boarding schools for
natives. He was followed by the Rev.
Robert MacKenzie, of San Francisco,
who made some happy remarks. A fact
worthy of note is that there were no less
than eight ministers present
Mrs.
Mary C. Leavitt, the temperance lecturer, was also there. New members
elected: Miss Spooner and Miss Hall
and the Rev. and Mrs. E. C. Oggel.
The next regular meeting of the Society
will be held at the residence of the

The Teachers Association meets in
annual convention, their sessions to continue for two days. Mr. 11. G. Townsend, of Lihue, was chosen President,

There were present, in all, twenty-eight
teachers, eighteen of these being ladies.
Just as we go to press, Mr. Moore, of

prepared by kind hands, trimmed with
maile, ferns and other decorations.
Throughout the room there were presents for the children. The place was lit

The exercises were interspersed by
brief remarks and explanations to the
visitors present by Mr. F. W. Damon,
the leader. The whole school all with
banner in hand then sang: "Brightly
gleams our banner," and tho children
all waved their banners aloft.
The presents were then distributed by
Mr. and Mrs. Damon, assisted by Miss

Two baskets
laden with exquisite llowers stood on a
table, from Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Damon,

It was a genuine pleasure to look into
the bright, intelligent faces of the children, whose parents have come hither
from an idolatrous land and to know that
they are now being reached by the
enlightening and saving influence of the
Christian religion. And as we looked
on, the words of the sacred writer came
to us, "How beautiful are the feet of
them that preach the gospel of peace and
bring glad tidings of good things!" and
the Master's saying: "Suffer little children to come unto me; for of such is the
Kingdom of God." May the efficient,
consecrated workers be strengthened to
continue their noble endeavors in winning souls for "the great multitude, outof
all nations, and kindred, and people and

in "carrying the Gospel" to this Kingdom, but is built for Gospel work in

WOMAN'S WORK AMONG SEAMEN.
Meeting a sailor a few days since, he

referred to the fact that he had not received any letters from his friends tit
home, '(but," he adds, ((I have received
a letter from the Lady Missionary among
Seamen in New York." This reminds
us of the remarkable work now being
done among seamen in England and
America, by Christian ladies who are
employed to labor among seamen. Some
of the most successful laborer* among
seamen in New York city are christian
ladies. When last in New York, in 1880,
we met several of these workers. Who
can estimate the noble work among seamen in the British Navy by Miss Weston. This Christian lady is doing a great
work among British seamen all over the
world as well as in the home ports of
England. Every month she sends forth
one of her printed letters in a small
monthly periodical of eight pages. These
letters are freely distributed on all ships
ol the British Navy. We often have
met seamen who speak most enthusiastically of Miss Weston's efforts in their
behalf. The success which attends the
labors of Christian ladies among seamen
should encourage others to go and do
likewise.
LOAN LIBRARIES.
The effort to furnish vessels of war
and merchant ships with libraries has
become remarkably successful under the
patronage of the American Seamen's
Friend Society of New York. Since the
enterprise was started, 12,078 libraries
have been placed on shipboard.
Lieutenant Richard Bush, U. 8. Navy,
remarks in a note of thanks for the use
of loan libraries placed on the U. S. S.
Juniata:
"As a life member of the American Seamen's Friend Society, and one who is in
accord with its high object, I trust I may
be permitted to say from the personal experience of several cruises, that these loan
libraries are the most direct, effective and
substantial way of reaching the sailor, and
of giving him the benefit of religious, instructive and entertaining reading-matter.
The result of this good work is incalculable,
and the Navy is under a large debt of

obligation to your Society,

which,

for one,

THE FRIEND IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Nearly forty years ago, a .stray number of the Friend found its way to Valparaiso, Chili, and was read by the Rev.
Dr. Trumbull, Seamen's Chaplain. It
suggested to his mind the idea of publishing a paper in that city, hence, he
commenced the Neighbor, which was
published in that city for nearly or quite
twenty years, when it was discontinued.
So pressing was tbe need of such a paper
that it was revived under the name of

the Record, and is still published by the
Rev. Dr. Trumbull, now Senior Pastor of
the Presbyterian church of that #ci.y.
The October number of the tlecord was
received by the last mail. It is No. 179
and Vol. 13, and is printed in octavo
form of 10 pages, and the contents are
most readable, containing a graphic
sketch of Dr. Trumbull's visit to Talca,
Talcahuano, Angel and Concepcion.. He
preached in those cities in both English
and Spanish. His influence in the Republic of Chili in promoting the circulation of the Bible and introducing a better
religious tone among both foreigners and
Chilians, have led to conferring upon him

AN ENGLISH SAILOR'S TRIBUTE
TO A YANKEE SAILOR'S YARN.
In the issue of the Gazette of the 17th
uit. there is a capital and appreciative
critique upon Dana's. "Two Years before
the Mast." We distinctly remember
reading the book when it was first published, about the year 1840 or '41. It
had a wonderful sale and the Harpers
arc reported to have made many thousands while the writer only received an
insignificant amount for the copyright
for twenty years. When Mr. Dana visited the islands a quarter of a century
ago, we heard him partially repeat the
story of his cruise on the coast of California. While thus referring to tinarticle copied, from the pen of W. Clark
Russell, from the Contemporary Review),
we are reminded of the whispered reason why the British Admiralty encouraged a generous supply of ((Two Years
before the Mart," to be distributed among
sailors in the British Navy, viz: to dissuade "British Tars" from deserting the
'(English Flag" and enlisting under the
"Stars and Stripes." Mr. Dana docs
certainly depict most vividly the rather
hard usage the Yankee sailors bad in the
days when the "Cat and nine tails" wain use.
SOUTH AMERICAN MISSION WITH
THE NATIVES OF TIERRA
DEL FUEGO.
We are rejoiced to learn from the Valparaiso Jlecord that this mission continues to flourish. It will be remembered
that it was originally founded by the
noble Missionary Capt. .Gardner, who
perished by starvation. This, true missionary martyr deserves to be ranked
among the moral heroes of the world.
It Is a remarkable fact that from among
the otlii ers of tbe Royal Navy of England there have arisen some of the best
and noblest Christian workers of modern
times. Capt. Gardner deserves to hold
the first rank. He chose for his field of
labor the forlorn and desolate regions of
Cape Horn. There, among the ignorant,
besotted, degraded and outcast Tierra
del Fuegians, he spent the closing years

Volume 43, No. 1
of his most useful life. It was for the
temporal and spiritual welfare of this
heathen and cannibal people that he cast
his lot among them. So successful were
Captain Gardner and his associates that
even Mr. Charles Darwin, the naturalist,
was led to believe in the success of Missions, and actually contributed annually
for the support of the South American
Mission.
It appears that a scientific expedition
has been sent out to Cape Horn. In the
communication made before the French
Geographical Society by Captain Martial,
relative to the scientific mission of the
Romarushe, to Cape Horn, he said that the
English Piotestant Mission of Ooshoovia
had contributed greatly, if not to the
civilization of Tierra del Fuego, at least
to reclaiming them from savage life and
manners. Consequently, when he quitted the island in September last, he with
the consent of the French Government,
made over to the missionaries the large
range of huts which the French survey
hud erected for their lodgings and meteorological and magnetic observations.
"A WORD FITLY

SPOKEN, HOW
GOOD IT IS."
More than thirty years ago a young
sailor passing up Nuuanu street one Sabbath morning, was met by a lady going
to worship at the Bethel who invited him
to attend church, but he hurried away.
Years pass on and the sailor boy became
commander of a vessel in the U. S.
Navy and served his country during the
civil war. • Other years pass and he returns to Honolulu, but he had not forgotten the lady's invitation to attend
divine worship. He seeks her home
and most gratefully acknowledges her
Christian kindness and the good which
he had thereby received. ((A word fitly
spoken, how good it is."

EXPLANATORY.
As has been stated in the Prospectus
of this paper for the current ..oar, the
Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical
Association," commonly known by its
briefer title, the '(Hawaiian Board," is
to have the use of one page in each issue.
A large proportion of the readers of
the Friknd on these Islands are already
familiar with the history and work of
this Board. But as, with the growth of
the community, there are now many who
are unacquainted with the work of this
Board and its relations to the Christian
welfare of the islands of the North Pacific
Ocean, a few words of explanation seem
desirable.
This Board was formed in the year
1803 to be the executive body of the
"Hawaiian Evangelical Association,"
which by its Constitution comprises, "all
the ordained clergymen, both native and
foreign, of the Congregational and Presbyterian orders on the various Islands of
Hawaii and of Micronesia and the Marquesas Islands; together with such laymen as may be elected from time to
time by a two-thirds vote; together also

The ((Hoard of the Hawaiian Evan-

gelical Associati n" is its Kxeeutive body
and its members are chosen annually by
the Association a. its annual meeting in

June; as are also tlie Corresponding Secretin y and Treasurer.
Tut: duties of this Board are to perform
any agency requested of it by the Prudential Committee of the "American
Hoard of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions," relative to the work of that
Hoard in the North Pacific, ami to "take
charge of Home Missions on these Hawaiian Islands; the education of a Native
Ministry, and of females who may become teachers and Pastors' wives; the
preparation, publication and circulation
of useful books and tracts, and also of
Foreign Missions so far as the conduct of
them from these Islands shall be practicable and expedient; and to lake the
charge of and tlie dlsbursal of funds contributed for these objects, from whatever source."
This Hoard is an incorporated body,
having received a Charter from the Hawaiian Government in the year 1873;
and the Corresponding Secretary of the
Hoard is also its general executive officer,
having the oversight oi the work on
these islands in its various departments
of benevolent and religious effort, as well
as the Mission work of the Hawaiian
Churches on the Marquesas islands and

THE NEW MORNING STAR.
From the Missionary Herald for November we learn that the total receipts
up to that date toward the building and
equipping of the ((Morning Star" No. 4
were $40,509 30. The total cost, ready
for sea, at Boston, was nearly $41,000.
She sailed from Boston for these islands
Nov. sth, and will be due here about
the first of next March. The passage is
to be made under sail, as her steam is
only for auxiliary use, and the instructions of the American Board are that
"its use is to lie avoided"
* * *
((whenever sails can fairly be relied upon. Her steam power is sufficient to
make from six to seven knots per hour
in ordinary weather, but it is not expected that she will ordinarily use more
than would be required to give a speed
of from four to five knots an hour. We
clip the following from the Boston Congregationalist of Nov (ith:
Regarding the boilers of the Morning
Star and her detention, we are authorized to state that the lioilcrs were tested
by the Government inspectors at Portland and certified as '(.sound, safe and
fit for use." ln addition to this tho
superintendent of the Delamater Iron
Works of New York says of the same
class of boilers, ((1 am fully prepared to
advocate these boilers. They have now
been used in the Louisiana for five years
and the old bottoms were quite perfect
when overhauled last spring. They are
fast steaming, economical and strong
boilers." The detention of the Star has
been on account of the pump above. On
the final test in running all the machinery tne pump did not work satisfactorily
and the builders at once replaced it by a
Dean pump of approved class.
Captain Bray will come out as commander of the new Morning Star, with
Mr. Oarland as mate. Arthur Logan, a
Mm of Rev. R. W. Logan, is also expected as a passenger by the Star. He
goes to rejoin his parents at their new
station on Ruk.

him all success.

Mason, our General

Mr. Geering, who has so faithfully
filled the position of janitor for the Y. M.

to accept a more advantageous one with
a business house of this city. The Association, we are sure, hits appreciated his
careful attention to every detail of his
work with us, and feel assured that he
will give satisfaction elsewhere. Mr.
Gonzalves takes his place.

DECEMBER MONTHLY MEETING.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Y. M. C. A. was held in tlie library room
of the Y. M. C. A. building last Thursday evening. Mr. Yarndley's singing
class was discoursing melody in the room
above, which may have had something
to do with the enthusiasm of those in
the room below. The meeting was inspiriting—at least in one of its features.
President Jones spoke rather discouragingly concerning the committee work of
the year, which called Mr. Davies to his
feet. The latter gentleman then gave
an exceedingly interesting account of
what he saw of Y. M. C. A. work during
a recent short stay in San Francisco. He
happened to be there during the session
of the Y. M. C. A.convention of the
state. He said be had been encouraged,

_

nay, inspired, by the words and acts of
the ('hrist lan young men of 'al i forn ia. He
had not before realized what Y. M. C. A.
work, in its fullness, really •was. And
he hoped thnt our association would be
able to send a delegate to the next convention to be held in San Francisco,
President Jones said that there was a
chance that General Sot-rotary McCoy, of
San Francisco, would visit the Islands
next February; and, if he canie, much
good was to be hoped from the visit.
Treasurer Kinney reported a satisfactory financial condition.
The resignation of General Secretary
Mason was accepted.
The following persons were elected
members: Messrs. Herbert, W. Deals,
T. Douglass, Wallace Porteus, F. W.
Yates and LouisT. Valentine.—-/Saturday

PROHIBITION AND THE U. S. ELECTION.
[ Cornin un i ( ;itcd]

What the full result of the recent presidential election In the United States will
be upon the Prohibition movement it is
impossible to say, but that in the main it
will cause niarketl advancement in the
Prohibition party we do not doubt. This
election must murk ;i new era in the
cause. It is and for some time has been
one of the great questions of the hour
and in u land where politics, from the
nature of the Government, must necessarily mirror the questions agitating the
mass, it is idle antl wrong to hope or attempt to isolate this issue from the political movements of the people. It must
and will appear there.
Party leaders undoubtedly will resist
any Innovation which will endanger
party success*. Daniel Webster, Rufus
Choate and other Whig leaders deprecated, deplored the defection of followers
opposed to slavery, which resulted in the
disintegration of the Whig party. Bald
Webster, speaking of the anti-slavery
movement, this agitation must he stopped; slavery is a local issue. You in the
North must leave it alone." .lames (1.
Blame, standing in a similar position,
I decline to
said recently in Augusta,
vote on prohibition in my own State because it is a dual issue, and I wish to
show that I consider it such. It must
not be brought into a national contest."
The results in either of these two cases
show how futile it la for any man or set
of men to attempt to stay the workings
of a great movement among ugreat think-

"

"

ing people.
Temperance, by the last election, became a prominent factor in the national
contests in the United States, and will
continue to be such until that issue is
settled and settled right. Many may re-

sist this, many may deprecate it, many
may be alienated from the Prohibition
ranks by this new departure. This must
be expected. So it was with the Whig
party when the defection occurred which
resulted in the Republican party.
But the young party, having the moral
courage to face the questions of the hour,

Volume 43, No. 1
soon gathered to itself the flower of the
land. There is not n party in theUnited
States to-day that has the vital power or
force of the Prohibition party. It is
young, it is growing, its sfar is in the ascendant. Other parties point to the past;
it points to the future. Other parties are
more or less negative and defensive.
The temperance party Is positive, decisive, having the courage of Its own convictions and back if it all represents a
principle which appeals to all that is best
in man. Already thai party, small as it
may seem, cannot be rivalled for the
ability, eloquence and worth of its leaders. The people of the United Stales
themselves are more ready to meet this
question than one would suppose from
the language! of party leaders. Canada
has already instituted local option in a
large majority of her counties—certainly
the United States can do as well. Southern a.s well as Northern States are moving
rapidly that way. Many ridicule the
possibilities above suggested, and point
to tin: comparative insignificance of the
recent vote for St. John.
Well, men
laughed when old John Brown and family opened war upon the United States at
Harper's ferry for the crime of slavery.
But who laughs now? It is true John
Brown's body lies mouldering in the
grave, but his SOU] goes marching on.
As Wendell Phillips once said when the
abolition movement was ridiculed and its
Insignificance in numbers, position, Ac,
pointed out, » Well, what of it ? What
was ridiculed yesterday is the popular
creed to-day, and will be as trite its the
multiplication table to-morrow."
So we welcome the advent of this new
movement, even though a ft.w may petulantly desert its principles, because it
caused the defeat of a party —and we believe the day not far distant when, as
the prohibition loaders -,;iy, -<a schoolbouse shall crown the hill-top of every
village, and no saloon shall be found in
the valley below."
