CLEAVING TO CHRIST.
beautiful
A
sight in nature is a tree
full of blossoms. The hope that accompanies the view is, that they may escape
the danger to which they are exposed,
come to maturity, and the tree may in
due time exhibitabundant fruit.
So it is, too, in the kingdom of Jesus.
We pray and labor for converts to Christ
and His cause. And when we realize the
hoped for results, we rejoice, but at the
same time we expect that there shall be
steadfastness and advancement in the
Christian life.
Hence the practice of the early preachers of the Gospel was to exhort new converts to remain faithful to their consecration vows, and theiraim to confirm the
souls of those who believed, persuading
them to adorn their profession with a
holy life.
Joining the Church is a step in the
right direction, provided there has first
been a heart-union to Christ. But uniting with the Church by a public profession of religion should not be regarded as
the end of duty. For conversion and confession are only the commencement of
the Christian course. Then life is before
one with its golden possibilities of converse with Christ, fellowship with His
followers, growth in grace, and labors of
love which shall be richly rewarded.
With such relations and opportunities
every convert can say with Doddridge,
happy day that fixed my choice
" O On
Thee, my Savior and my God;
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad."
The new life in man is like a seed that
springs up, a light that illumines, a fire
that burns. It creates a change that is
seen in the countenance, shines in conversation, and reveals itself in a course
of conduct that contemplates the glory of
God. It is a life sacredly set apart to the
service of Jesus.
Such a life is only possible, however, in
union with Christ Our Lord said to the
disciples, "Abide in me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine, no more can
ye except ye abide in me." Joined to
Jesus the life will be radiant and resultful.
He that abideth in me, and I in
him, the same bringeth forth much
fruit." But where there is not this union
one is helpless and the life unprofitable.
"
"For," said the Master, "without me ye thing to him was new and
delightful.
can do nothing."
Cleaving to Christ is therefore essential to a right state of the heart and
to usefulness. For as in fruit, ripeness and
sweetness come from the sun, so in the
Christian, grace and growth must come
from the sun of righteousness.
It is our
duty and privilege to live in constant
communion with Jesus.
It is said that in Nova Zemhla, where
the winter is long and the summer short,
an evergreen can get hut six inches from
the ground. Hut when it is carried further south, it springs up and carries its
stately growth full three hundred feet
toward heaven, showing where it should
he and what it can do. So it is with the
Christian. He cannot be an earnest,
steadfast, shining witness for Jesus, unless he breathes the atmosphere of
intercourse with his Lord. "I cannot
get on without three hours a day of
prayer," said Martin Luther. "Pull the
bell of prayer," says Cuyler, "and wait
for the answer."
Love, interest and duty should lead us
constantly to seek our Savior's presence and to say:
It seemed as if heaven and earth congratulated him on the glad, surprising
change. Standing as It were in a new
world he said, "I am a happy man. I
have had more real enjoyment in one
hour since I found the Savior, than I
have had in all my life before." So will
every Christian give his personal testimony to the preciousness of Jesus and
that only a life close to him true pleasure affords.
An eminent writer says: "It is good
to become a Christian; better yet to ben.
Christian; still better to remain a Christian; best of till to live and die a Christian,
because such an one shall have a crown
and throne in glory."
personal relation to the living, personal
Christ. We are ever exposed to doubt
and distraction, temptations and trials.
The soul may be tossed too and fro like
a vessel at sea that is swept by the fury
of theelements and dashed by the waves;
but if we only cleave to Jesus Christ,
He will be to us amid the winds and billows of life a strong and steadfast anchor.
But if we live at a distance from the
Savior the cares and attractions of the
world will soon gain the ascendency over
in general, but particularly to those who,
during the labors of the lady evangelist
among us and since, have indicated their
intention to be henceforth on the Lord's
side.
Mrs. Hampson came to us after years
of successful work for Jesus in other
lands. She is one of many women who
have consecrated their lives to the best
interests of humanity and who live
Savior divine—
''Our hearts and lives to Thee we (jive
For without Thee we cannot live;
Till in tho ocean of Thy love.
We lose ourselves in heaven above."
For usefulness then and safety, for
comfort hen and enthronement hereafter, it is essential that we should cleave
to Christ and abide in Him. No other
relation of life is so honorable and agreeable. Of all bonds this union with the
Lord Jesus is the most vital, noble and
enduring.
"Welcome, welcome dear Redeemer,
Welcome to this heart of mine;
Lord, I make a full surrender

Friend on the necessity of cleaving to
Our safety too depends on a vital and Christ, we aim to be helpful to christians
us.
To illustrate: Dennis was a distinguished professor of religion. But Paul
says of him: "Demas hatli forsaken me,
having loved this present world." But
Demas must have forsaken Christ before
he deserted Paul. For he who lives
near to Christ will not dissolve partnership with Christ's friends.
Nothing therefore can be better than
to cleave to Christ and abide in Him.
What wife will lean upon a crutch,
though it be of gold, when her husband
says, "lean on me?" So should we cling
to Christ. His loving heart and almighty
arm alone can protect and save us.
Happiness idso is found on,ly as we are
with Jesus. A young man wended his
way to a revival meeting. The first
evening of his attendance he said to one,
who addressed him on his need of a
Savior, "I would give everything I
possess to be a Christian." The following evening he found hope and peace in
believing. He was one of the happiest
of all who rejoiced in Jesus. Every-

Her stay and efforts, here called to our
remembrance the names of women who

Have passed through ((lory's morning gate,
"And
walk in Paradise."
Also of women who in different fields of
work are still toiling and battling to undo
the work of sin, and to further human
happiness and God's glory.
Among a hundred names there is one,
in the line of christian temperance of
whom Phoebe A. Hanaford says: "Her
intellectual gifts have been supplemented
with rare grace of character. The brilliant mental endowments and the
delicate moral truth blend, like prismatic
hues, into a broad ray of white light
radiant with the name of Frances E.
Willard." Another name is that of
Mrs. Sarah J. Rhea, for a number of
years a missionary in Persia, eloquentin

her powerful influence in this direction.

this lady's mission: "Let us ask of God,
that the place where we shall meet may

Divine Spirit. Let us address the throne
of grace with an importunity of prayer,
which only faith in the living God can
inspire. Let us pray that the blessing
of God may so rest upon the meetings,
that salvation may come to all hearts and
homes. So will our fair city to some
extent become typical of that great city,
which in the sacred records is pictured
as filled with the redeemed from all
lands; a city, ineffably beautiful, beaming with brightness from the presence of
God and Christ, and musical with songs
of triumph and the minstrelsy of harpers
and cherubims."
Mrs. Hampson has come and gone.
It is proper to speak of the lady, the
nature of her work and the results.
Mrs. Hampson is an earnest, enthusiastic whole-hearted christian. Before
the meridian of her life was reached, she
had been tried in the fire, from which
she came forth as gold purified. Husband and children were taken from her,
and so to what sometimes is said, "A
woman's place is at home," we mayanswer in this case that the home was
broken up. Judging from Mrs. Hampson's frequent allusions to this subject,
perhaps no one believes more strongly
than she does that woman's sphere begins at home. She also illustrated the
influence of the christian religion on the
duties of domestics by saying that a servant can sweep the floor to the glory of
God, and how one of these had said,
"Even the door-mat shows that I have
become a christian." But woman's work
cannot be confined to the home sphere.
Ages ago, under the Old Testament
economy, women were identified with
public affairs and sustained positions of
responsibility. Those last at the cross
and first at the grave were women, and
the first one to proclaim a risen Redeemer
was a woman. To-day there are women
poets, women scientists, women artists,
women lecturers, women reformers, women educators, women physicians, women lawyers, women in business, and
women evangelists.
Mrs. Hampson has for a score of years
been telling "the old, old story" of Jesus
and his love. As she discoursed one
evening after another to large audiences
at Kawaiahao church on the commanding theme of the great salvation, we
thought of Chadwick's lines,
"She spoke of justice, truth and love,
How soft her word* distilled!
She spoke of Qod; and all the place
Was with His presence filled."
And under the powerful presentation of
the truth we think all must cordially have
said Amen to Paul's sentiment, "There
is neither male nor female; for ye are
ail one in Christ Jesus."

not discourage those in the prophesying
business. They will soon come to the
front with unabashed enthusiasm and a
new prediction, which nothing but time
can prove to be false, and nothing but
fanaticism will believe to be true.
Our thanks are due the publishers of
"The Honolulu Almanac and Directory,"
and "The Honolulu Guide Book of Information" for copies. Both contain much
valuable information.
Dr. Damon, who for over forty years
has enjoyed uninterrupted health, has
for a number of days been confined to
the house. The Doctor has our sympathy
and we shall rejoice in his speedy restoration to health.
It is not often that a father's mantle
falling on the shoulders of a son, is such
a complete and acceptable "fit," as in the
case of the succession atMakawao, Maui,
where Rev. Mr. Rouse, Jr., has stepped
into his father's vacant pulpit, and is
giving general satisfaction. We congratulate the people and the young
pastor.
The Editors of this publication extend
their thanks to Rev. Dr. Damon for the
valuable New Year's present to each of
a complete set of The Friend. We
assure the generous donorof our thorough
appreciation of his kindness. If any
parties desire to obtain a complete-file of
The Friend, they should apply to Dr.
Damon, as per announcement, in this
paper.
We have received from Dr. Kittridge,
of Hilo, a sample copy of a little book
entitled, "Sermon Texts, and Sunday
School Record," which was prepared by
his brother, the pastor of a large Presbyterian Church in Oswego, N. Y. It is
by far the best thing of the kind which
we have yet seen. The pastor of the
Fort-St. Church will introduce them
among his young people.
Fort-St. Church wedding bells rang
out cheerily on Thursday evening. Jan.
22d. The church was most beautifully
decorated; Dr. Emerson made a manly
looking bride-groom, and Dr. Sarah E.
Peirce a charming bride. The Friknd
extends most heartfelt congratulations.
It is, perhaps, fortunate that there is no
Medical Society in Honolulu, else Dr.
Emerson might find it difficult to mainregutain membership among his
lar" brethren; his consultations with a
homeopathlst will undoubtedly occur frequently. We are glad to see the two
"schools" thus happily united.
We have received a long communication signed "B Secret." We had suprule,
posed that the invariable newspaper must
that the real names of the authors
always accompany articles for publication, was so well-known that it needed
no repetition. But in order that there
may be no misunderstanding hereafter,
we now inform all our correspondents
that they must send their real names
with articles intended for publication in
The Friend. It is not necessary that
the article be signed by the real name of
"
the author, but the editors MHtt have the
name for their protection. "B Secret's"
article goes into the waste-basket.
We call especial attention to the advertisement of Miss Frances E. Willard's
new book, "Woman and Temperance."
It is a very complete statement of the
part woman has taken in this great work,
and her talent for it. The members of
our local W. C. T. U. especially will find
the book of value. Rev. J. S. Cutler is
the agent.
The entire foreign community of Honolulu, sympathize with her relatives in
the severe illness of Mrs. Dr. Lowell
Smith. The self-denying labors of
seventy-five years, seem about to be
closed. Her sweet, beautiful, charitable,
christian spirit, her earnest sympathy
with, and active participation in every
good cause, her. large generous sympathies have bound closely to her a host of
friends. Her heaven will lie worth the
having.
THE CHURCHES.
THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH.
JANUARY—FEBRUARY.
The Church work for 1885 opened
with a sociable on the evening of New
Year's day, which was well attended.
At a called meeting the following persons wore chosen as Sunday School officers:
Superintendent, Mr. J. Robbins; Secretary, Mr. T. M. Henderson; Treasurer,
Mr. Jonathan Shaw; Librarian, Mr. Win.
Clark: Assistant Librarians, Mr. Fred.
Win. and Ernest Thrum; Prudential
Com., Mr. H. A. Parmelee, Mrs. E. C.
Oggel, Mr. E. C. Damon; Lesson Com.,
Mrs. B. F. Dillingham, Mrs. S. M.
Damon, Mr. J. O. Carter, Mr. H. A.
Parmelee.
A vote of thanks was accorded Mr. H.
A. Parmelee for his faithful and efficient
services as Superintendent for the past
three years.
On Sabbath morning, January 11th,
the Sunday School exercises were in harmony with Mrs. Hampson's work at
Kawaiahao Church. Mrs. S. M. Damon,
as usual, presided at the organ and led
the school in several appropriate hymns.
Addresses were made by Superintendent
Robbins and E. C. Oggel, the pastor, appealing to the scholars to dedicate themselves to the service of Jesus without
delay. Mrs. Dr. Lowell Smith then led
in a fervent prayer for the blessing of the
Holy Spirit on all present.
On Sunday morning, the 18th, the
pastor preached on "Confessing Christ,"
the Rev. Robert Mackenzie of San Francisco assisting, and in the evening on
"The Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of
Great Price."
January 25th, the closing Sabbath of
the month, was full of interest and encouragement. A large congregation was
present at the morning service. The
pastor spoke briefly on Ps, 34:8, "O taste
and see that the Lord }s good." The
to three adults. Nineteen |>ersons were
admitted to membership; twelve on profession of faith, and seven by letter from
Presbyterian Churches in the States and
Canada. The sacrament of Communion
was celebrated with gratitude and praise.
Rev. Dr. C. M. Hyde assisted, administering the cup. The pastor conveyed to
the communicants a message from Dr.
Damon, that in the forty-two years of
his pastorate he has never been absent
from the regular prayer-meetings on account ot sickness, and that this was the
first communion morning on which
through illness he could not be present;
but that he was restful in God, and rejoiced with us in the goodness of the
Lord to us as a (Church. Prayer was offered both morning and evening for the
recovery of Dr. Damon and Mrs. Lowell
Smith.
In the evening the discourse was on the
love of Christ in the gift of Himself for
our salvation. The after-meeting was of
especial interest, several persons testifying, from individual experience, to the
saving power of Jesus.
On Tuesday evening, the 27th, a meeting of officers and teachers to promote
the interests of the Sunday School was
held at the residence of Mr. J. O. Carter,
on Nuuanu avenue.
The following are the subjects for the
Wednesday evening meetings this
month :
Feb. 4, Monthly Concert—China.
Feb. 11, Social Worship—Mat. 18:19,20.
Feb. 18, Stand fast!—Gal. 5:1.
Feb. 25, Wide awake—Luke 14:2,3.
Go out and compel them to come in,
that my house may be filled."
"
FORT-ST. CHURCH.
Notwithstanding the marked depres-
sion in business circles, and the feeling
of financial uncertainty and the necessity
for economy, the annual sale of slips and
sittings in Fort-St. Church realized over
$5,000, securing an ample revenue for
the coming year.
The regular church-work for the past
month has, of course, been greatly broken
up by Mrs. Hampson's evangelistic services, only the Sabbath School sessions
being held for the first two Sundays in
the month. It was with a satisfied, "itis-good-to-be-at-home" feeling that the
congregation gathered on Sunday morning, Jan. 18th, in the "home church."
It is said that "one of the benefits of a
vacation is the satisfaction with which
one returns to his, hom,e." Certainly
there was this satisfaction in many hearts
on the resumption of our own services.
The event of the month was the strong,
earnest sermon of Rev. R. Mackenzie on
Sunday evening, Jan. 18th. A large
audience was present, and were wellrepaid by the suggestive, eloquent evan«
gelical discourse. Mr. Mackenzie showed
the self-possession and power of a true
orator, in his compelling the attention
of his audience during the very annoy-,
lng alarm of fire, which occurred in the

THE BROADER CHURCH.
In reading English current religious
intelligence, we read about the Broad
Church party in the Established Church.
The recent visit of Mrs. Hampson and
the position she took among the nonEpiscopalians in Honolulu, indicates that
there is a party in the English Church
which has always given Mr. Moody a
warm and cordial a reception whenever
he has visited England. Among the
best and most earnest supporters of Mr.
Moody in England, have been members
of the Established Church. We are
always rejoiced to witness a cordial sympathy among Christians, no matter to
what particular branch of the Christian
Church they may be attached. True
Christian sympathy and fellowship rides
alxive the partition walls of all sects and
denominations. It is on this account
that we have witnessed the progress of
Mrs. Hampson's Evangelistic labors in
Honolulu with interest. This is a consummation to which we have ever directed our efforts as a minister of the
gospel. Our Savior's language is full
of meaning; "By this shall all men
know ye are my disciples, if ye love
one another."

A man that fails of getting an audience Sunday

in the morning in the regular way, but in the
evening, he advised a Gospel meeting, making all
the pews free, having a large choir for a half hour
song-service, leaving the manuscript at home, and
tiring the truth at them red hot. He believed it
an absolute necessity that the officers, and the
leading members of the church, should assist the
pastor heartily in this movement, personally going to people with invitations, and then cordially
welcoming them, even though they wear very
coarse cloth.

'California," a book written a little more
than ten years ago, and therefore fairly
entitled, in this fast age, when we live as
much in ten years as our forefathers tlid
in fifty, to be called an "old" book. And
we were struck by the sturdy common
sense and clear Chiistian insight or foresight of the views therein expressed as
to the Chinese problem. We have room
to quote only a sentence or two which
are as full of truth and as pertinent to us
here now as they were to California and
the United States ten years ago. He
says: ''John is inevitable. He has discovered America (Hawaii nei?) and finds
It a good country. We shall not keep
him out. But it is ours, and not his, to
determine whether he shall be a curse or
a blessing to us. If we treat him as
Christianity teaches that we ought to
treat our fellow menj-if we do unto him
as we would that others should do unto
us; if we see that he is instructed in that
which we believe to be right, he may become a useful part of us. Teachable he
certainly is; a far more civilized being—
or rather, a far less savage creature—
than many we get from Christian Great
Britain." And again, "In some way,
not by laws, for they can do nothing, but
by missionary effort; by earnest, general,
conscientious training, John must be
brought to a comprehension of our customs, so that, even if he does not become
a Christian in name or in fact, he shall
yet learn to conform his lift; to that of
our American people, and not live among
us disordering and disorganizing our own
society."
Nordhoff never said a truer thing, and
we rejoice to know that there are many
friends of Christianity and of social
older and purity on these Hawaiian
Islands who take a similar view of the
case and are willing to do what they can
for the Christian enlightenment and advancement of our Chinese brother men
on these shores.
The Hawaiian Board have ordered a
new edition of 4,000 copies of the Gilbert Island Hymn Book. Also a new
edition of 1,000 copies of the Marhall
Island Primary Arithmetic. These are
to be printed in San Francisco in time to
send forward to Micronesia by the new
"Morning Star" next May.

We regret to record the death of one of
our most promising and valued Hawaiian
Missionaries to the Gilbert Islands, Rev.
8. K. Maunaloa, who died at Kawela,
Molokiii, January 2d, 1885, of hemorrhage of the lungs.
On the Ist of January, Rev. S. W.
Kokuewa, formerly a valued missionary
of this Hoard to the Marshall Islands,
was installed p:ist«r of the native church
of North Kohala, hitherto under the care
of Rev. K. Bond.
Rev. S. L. Desha, the young and
promising pastor of the church at Kealakekua, Hawaii, was married January
Ist, IMBO to Miss Mary Kekumano. Rev.
G. W. VVaiau, pastor of the Church at
Ilookena in South Kona, performed the
ceremony.
The Church building at Puako, a few
miles south of Kawaihae, originally
built under the active superintendence
of Rev. L. Lyons, having been, for some
years in a dilapidated condition, has been
rebuilt under the direction of Rev. S. C.
Luhiau, and with the active and praisworthy assistance of Mr. John Stupplebeen, the new building was dedicated on New Year's Day.
New Year's Sabbath School Conventions were the order of the day this year
at Wailuku, on Maui, and North Kona,
on Hawaii. At Wailuku the Sabbath
Schools of Maui and Molokai were all
represented, numbering in all between
six and seven hundred. H. R. H. Princess Liliuokalani Dominis and other invited guests from a distance graced the
occasion with their presence.
Rev. E M. Pease and family left by
the Mariposa, January loth, on their way
to the United States for a year's rest and
recruiting. Dr. Pease takes with him
the final manuscript translation of the
whole New Testament in (he Marshall
Island language, and will superintend its
publication by the American Bible Society during the coming year.
The graduates and former pupils of the
Hilo Boys' Boarding School have taken
steps to raise among themselves the sum
of $25(1 for the erection of a monument
to their late reverend and beloved teacher
Rev. D. B. Lyman. It is to be of Italian
marble, and will mark his resting place
in the beautiful little foreign cemetery at
Hilo. This graceful act of theirs is a
spontaneous tribute of affection and esteem from bis former pupils.
There are now two organized Chinese
churches on these Islands connected with
the work of the Hawaiian Board. The
one here in Honolulu, with ail educated
and excellent Chinese pastor, and an
active membership of between seventyfive and one hundred; and the other at
Kohala, with a competent and earnest
Chinese preacher. Besides these there
is a valuable Chinese colporteur and
preacher at Hilo, doing a good work
among the Chinese in that district, and
another at Paia on East Maui, engaged
in similarlabors for theChinese so thickly
scattered In that region. It is interesting to note that at the last communion
in the Chinese Church of Honolulu on
the first Sabbath of last month, seven
adults were received to membership on
confession of faith, and two children
were baptized. There are also several
candidates for admission at the next
communion season. At Kohala, in November last, two adults were received to
membership in the Chinese Church on
confession of their faith.
Tiik war in China having resulted in
much hardship and persecution to the
Christian Chinese in that land, the sympathies of our Christian Chinese on these
islands have been enlisted for their suffering brethren in the home land, and at
the close of last year a contribution of
$1520 was sent forward by them to Rev.
R. Leehler to be distributed among the
needy Chinese Christians of southern
China, without regard to sect or denomination. The boys also of the Chinese
school here made up a little purse among
themselves of about eight dollars as their
contribution to aid the children of those
suffering ones. Surely this is a noble
example. "By their fruits ye .shall know
them" are the words of Christ.
DONATIONS.
Our hearty thanks are due to Mr. J.
T. Waterhouse, Sen. for his liberal
Christmas gift of $250, and to Mrs. M.
S. Rice for an equally generous and
timely donation of $250 more to aid the
w ork of Mr. F. W. Damon, our Superintendentof the Chinese Evangelical work.
Such investments are worth far more,
both for "the life that now is, and for
that which is to come," than plantation,
railroad, steamship, or commercial, or
even government bonds and stocks.

THE BABY'S FACE. AT THE
WINDOW.
—A TEMPERANCE STORY.
BY MRS. SUSAN T. PERRY.
"I am very sorry, Wilbur, but we shall
be obliged to give you a less responsible
position than the one you now hold."
These words were spoken in the private office of the large manufactory of
Wells & Co. The man who spoke them
was sitting in a chair by the desk. He
was the senior member pi the thin. The
man to whom they were ■ddretved stood
with one hand upon the knob of the door;
his hat was in the other band. He was
a tine hsoking young man, with a (till,
erect form, broad shoulders, and splendid
physique. He bad a keen eye and a
bright face.
After the gentleman at the desk had
eeaeed speaking, the employee presented
a moody silence for some momenta His
first impulse would have led him to refuse to take a subordinate position; his
pride struggled hard against what was
to him, "such a come down." But it
was late in November, hard times, low
wages, and many were out of employ.
ineiit. If he left that place, what was
he to do? There were plenty of others
waiting to take it if he should leave it.
He did not look up into the speaker's
face, but answered with a despairing
tone of voice:
I am very sorry, Mr. Wells."
It is not necessary for me to fell you
why we have decided to make this change.
You know yourself, Wilbur. The position you hold is too important and has
too many interests at stake to allow us to
run any risks. If you would only be
true to yourself, Wilbur, all would be
"
"
right."
As Mr. Wells ceased speaking the
young man bowed, and went out of the
office. A gentleman came in just as he
passed out As he closed the office door
the new comer asked:
Was that Wilbur Cummings, whom I just met at the
door?"
"Yes," replied Mr. Wells, "it was."
How he has changed in two years!"
said the first speaker.
He seems to
have such a Imng-dog look. What has
happened?"
Wilbur Is his own worst enemy,"
said Mr. Wells, sadly. "lam sorry to
say that he is drinking heavily of late.
He is not as reliable and responsible as
he used to be."
"How strange it is!" said the gentleman, that men will make such fools of
themselves! I don't believe that it is
necessary for any man to go beyond a
certain limit. I take my wine at dinner
and a glass of beer now and then, but
further than that I never go."
Perhaps you may be strong enough
to be able to control your appetite, but I
found when I was a young man that I
could not be governed by any such rules.
I have seen the time when one glass made
me desirous for more, and later for a
larger quantity than was proper for me
to have. I have been obliged to give up

oft entirely, for 1 am hoping font reformation in him, but I cannot continue him
in his present position. He had one of
the best of mothers. I knew her well.
He has a splendid wife, and a baby.
They lost their two first children."
While this conversation was being carried on in the olfice of the manufactory,
Wilbur Cuuiniiugs was slowly walking
toward home. It was the dose of a raw
November day.
Everything looked
gloomy anil cheerless. The young man
buttoned his overcoat tightly over his
chest, and as Ik cast his eye down upon
it be said:
••How shabby I am getting to be!
The whole world has turned a cold
shoulder to me; even Wells has Insulted
me by ottering
me asubordinate position,
and my pride almost compels me to quit
the place this very night. What an unlucky fellow lam anyway! Everything
conspires to drag me down. Things in
this world are so unequally divided.
Some folks are always in luck. There is
no use ot trying to he anything; everybody gives me a kick. I'll go up to
treason's before I go home and get a
drink. That is all the consolation I have,
anyhow."
This resolution seemed to give Wilbur
a new impetus, and he quickened his
pace. But he was obliged to pass by
his little home on the way to the saloon.
His wife was usually in the kitchen at
that time getting supper, and he thought
he could pass by without being Men.
But as he glanced toward the little house
he culled his home, he saw the baby's
face pressed against the window pane.
The little child saw him, and immediately its face illuminated with joy, and a
happy smile lieained upon it, and as its
father approached nearer, it held out its
little hands to be taken.
"The baby Is watching for me," he
thought as he waved his hand in recognition. "Watching for me, his miserable father. 'The sins of the father—the
sins of the father!'" he muttered to himself. "What is the rest of it?" Instantly he seemed to hear his mother's
voice, as he did in the long years ago
when he repeated the words after her:
"The sins of the father shall be visited
apom the children." "That is it—'Shall
be visited upon the children!'
He stopped in front of the window and
the baby hand threw a kiss out to him
in the gray twilight.
"I'll go in and take the baby first,"
thought he. "The little fellow will lie
so disappointed if I pass on. I'll go to
Gleason's after supper."
In another moment he had taken the
ittle one in his arms and kissed the
"
baby face that watched so patiently for
his coming. He went into the kitchen,
where his wife was preparing the evening meal, with the baby In his arms.
"I've had a letter from mother to-day,"
his wife said, very cheerily. "She has
invited us down there for New Year's
day."
"You and the baby can go. I shan't
husband, in a gruff tone of
voice.
"You know I shall not go if you do
not," his wife said, this time with no
show of enthusiasm.
"The Bartlett's
are going," she continued, "and I wish
we could go too."
"Bartlett has got something to go
with; I haven't," he answered, as he
put the baby in its high chair at the
table.
His wife would like to have asked her
husband why they hadn't any means to
use, as well as their neighbor, especially
as he had nut as large a salary as Wilbur
had. But she had learned that silence
was golden, and silence was strength
at such times. So she put her'supper on
the table mh\ prepared her husband's
meal just as he liked it best.
While the husband was eating his
supper he noticed that his wife's only
decent dress for visiting occasions was
lying over the back of a chair; her scissors and work-basket were on the seat.
"Nan thought she was going to her
mother's for New Year's, and she has
been ripping up that old dress again to
make it look like a new one, I suppose.
Poor Nannie!"
He remembered at that moment what
a fresh, pretty, trusting girl she was
when, only a few years before, she bad
promised to take him "for belter for
worse, for richer for poorer."
You made a poor bargain, Nan," he
said, when you married me. lam one
of the unlucky ones. You needn't expect to be anything or have anything
while you are tied to such a miserable
fellow as 1 am."
"And why not, Willie dear?" she said.
You know I love you dearly."
"Nan," ho said, looking her straight
in the eye, tell me if you do not regret
that you ever married me. What a
comfortable, warm home you had! Was
it not a great deal nicer there than it is
now out in the cold, comfortless world
with me?"
(), Willie, please don't talk so. What
is the matter?" The wife's hand was
instantly laid upon the husband's head,
and she stooped over and kissed him.
You know, Willie dear, 1 never regretted being your wife."
Well, Nan, nobody would blame you
if you did. You are worthy of a nobler,
better and stronger husband than I am."
As he glanced over the room everything seemed to look shabbier and poorer
than ever. Everything in his neighbor's
home was so neat and cosy and attractive. "Why?" The old saloon-keeper
could have told in a few words. He
lived in a stone-front house; his wife

dressed in silks every day; yes, and on
Willies money—the very money Nan
and the baby ought justly to have.
Catching up his hat, he said:
"Nan, I'll be back before long, but if I
don't get home before bed-time, don't sit
up for me."
"Tiss pupa! tiss papa!" the baby said,
lifting up its little face.
Wilbur Cumming's hand was already
upon the door-knob, but he relinquished
its hold and came back and kissed the
baby.
"Kiss me, too," said the wife, as she
went to the door with him, "and please
Willie, don't stay out late to-night, I'm
so lonely."
Wilbur Cummings was outside the
door, out in the chill November darkness.
His first impulse was to go to Gleuson's
and "drown his sorrows," as he expressed it. But something seemed to
arrest his steps. A voice kept saying,
"The sins of the fathers! the sins of the
fathers!"
What right have we to enuiil misery and wretchedness upon our own flesh
and blood, our innocent children?" he
exclaimed. "O, if I only had strength
to overcome this terrible sin!"
Just then he turnedand looked toward
the house. The curtain was rolled up a
little way, and there was the baby's face
peeping through the glass, looking out
for him. The tears came to .his eyes;
they rolled down his cheeks.
God helping me,
"I will," he said,
bo a better man. My child shall not
suffer for his father's sins!"
He buttoned his coat more tightly
over his chest, for he was facing the east
wind. He walked rapidly, but in an
opposite direction from Gleason's. When
he stopped it was before a large, handsome house in the avenue. He rang the
bell, and when the door was opened he
asked for Mr. Wells. While he waited
in the hall he heard the merry voices of
happy children. The music gave him
renewed courage. When Mr. Wells,
after a few moments of waiting, appeared
in the hall, his employee said:
"Please excuse me, Mr. Wells, for interrupting you at this time, but please
God, and by his help, I am going to be
a better man. Will you try me once
more, sir?"
Mr. Wells stood and hesitated a few
minutes, and then he said, as he took
hold of Wilbur's hand with a cordial
grasp:
"Yes, Wilbur, I will trust you once
more. It will be a struggle and a fight.
These victories are not won without
combats and conflicts," his employer
continued. "Put your trust in God, and
rely upon his strength for help."
The baby had gone to sleep, and the
young wife had turned down the light,
locked the doors, and, with a thick shawl
wrapped around her, she had also gone
out into the darkness. Wilbur's manner
had been so desperate that she was filled
with alarm. She had been up the street
in frout of Gleason's, but of course she

J. A. CRUZAN, 1 E
CLEAVING TO CHRIST.
beautiful
A
sight in nature is a tree
full of blossoms. The hope that accompanies the view is, that they may escape
the danger to which they are exposed,
come to maturity, and the tree may in
due time exhibitabundant fruit.
So it is, too, in the kingdom of Jesus.
We pray and labor for converts to Christ
and His cause. And when we realize the
hoped for results, we rejoice, but at the
same time we expect that there shall be
steadfastness and advancement in the
Christian life.
Hence the practice of the early preachers of the Gospel was to exhort new converts to remain faithful to their consecration vows, and theiraim to confirm the
souls of those who believed, persuading
them to adorn their profession with a
holy life.
Joining the Church is a step in the
right direction, provided there has first
been a heart-union to Christ. But uniting with the Church by a public profession of religion should not be regarded as
the end of duty. For conversion and confession are only the commencement of
the Christian course. Then life is before
one with its golden possibilities of converse with Christ, fellowship with His
followers, growth in grace, and labors of
love which shall be richly rewarded.
With such relations and opportunities
every convert can say with Doddridge,
happy day that fixed my choice
" O On
Thee, my Savior and my God;
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad."
The new life in man is like a seed that
springs up, a light that illumines, a fire
that burns. It creates a change that is
seen in the countenance, shines in conversation, and reveals itself in a course
of conduct that contemplates the glory of
God. It is a life sacredly set apart to the
service of Jesus.
Such a life is only possible, however, in
union with Christ Our Lord said to the
disciples, "Abide in me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine, no more can
ye except ye abide in me." Joined to
Jesus the life will be radiant and resultful.
He that abideth in me, and I in
him, the same bringeth forth much
fruit." But where there is not this union
one is helpless and the life unprofitable.
"
"For," said the Master, "without me ye thing to him was new and
delightful.
can do nothing."
Cleaving to Christ is therefore essential to a right state of the heart and
to usefulness. For as in fruit, ripeness and
sweetness come from the sun, so in the
Christian, grace and growth must come
from the sun of righteousness.
It is our
duty and privilege to live in constant
communion with Jesus.
It is said that in Nova Zemhla, where
the winter is long and the summer short,
an evergreen can get hut six inches from
the ground. Hut when it is carried further south, it springs up and carries its
stately growth full three hundred feet
toward heaven, showing where it should
he and what it can do. So it is with the
Christian. He cannot be an earnest,
steadfast, shining witness for Jesus, unless he breathes the atmosphere of
intercourse with his Lord. "I cannot
get on without three hours a day of
prayer," said Martin Luther. "Pull the
bell of prayer," says Cuyler, "and wait
for the answer."
Love, interest and duty should lead us
constantly to seek our Savior's presence and to say:
It seemed as if heaven and earth congratulated him on the glad, surprising
change. Standing as It were in a new
world he said, "I am a happy man. I
have had more real enjoyment in one
hour since I found the Savior, than I
have had in all my life before." So will
every Christian give his personal testimony to the preciousness of Jesus and
that only a life close to him true pleasure affords.

Christ. We are ever exposed to doubt
and distraction, temptations and trials.
The soul may be tossed too and fro like
a vessel at sea that is swept by the fury
of theelements and dashed by the waves;
but if we only cleave to Jesus Christ,
He will be to us amid the winds and billows of life a strong and steadfast anchor.
But if we live at a distance from the
Savior the cares and attractions of the
world will soon gain the ascendency over
in general, but particularly to those who,
during the labors of the lady evangelist
among us and since, have indicated their
intention to be henceforth on the Lord's
side.

of successful work for Jesus in other

For usefulness then and safety, for
comfort hen and enthronement hereafter, it is essential that we should cleave
to Christ and abide in Him. No other
relation of life is so honorable and agreeable. Of all bonds this union with the
Lord Jesus is the most vital, noble and
enduring.

Our safety too depends on a vital and Christ, we aim to be helpful to christians
us.
To illustrate: Dennis was a distinguished professor of religion. But Paul
says of him: "Demas hatli forsaken me,
having loved this present world." But
Demas must have forsaken Christ before
he deserted Paul. For he who lives
near to Christ will not dissolve partnership with Christ's friends.
Nothing therefore can be better than
to cleave to Christ and abide in Him.
What wife will lean upon a crutch,
though it be of gold, when her husband
says, "lean on me?" So should we cling
to Christ. His loving heart and almighty
arm alone can protect and save us.
Happiness idso is found on,ly as we are
with Jesus. A young man wended his
way to a revival meeting. The first
evening of his attendance he said to one,
who addressed him on his need of a
Savior, "I would give everything I
possess to be a Christian." The following evening he found hope and peace in
believing. He was one of the happiest

lands; a city, ineffably beautiful, beaming with brightness from the presence of
God and Christ, and musical with songs
of triumph and the minstrelsy of harpers
and cherubims."
Mrs. Hampson has come and gone.
It is proper to speak of the lady, the
nature of her work and the results.
Mrs. Hampson is an earnest, enthusiastic whole-hearted christian. Before
the meridian of her life was reached, she
had been tried in the fire, from which
she came forth as gold purified. Husband and children were taken from her,
and so to what sometimes is said, "A
woman's place is at home," we mayanswer in this case that the home was
broken up. Judging from Mrs. Hampson's frequent allusions to this subject,
perhaps no one believes more strongly
than she does that woman's sphere begins at home. She also illustrated the
influence of the christian religion on the
duties of domestics by saying that a servant can sweep the floor to the glory of
God, and how one of these had said,
"Even the door-mat shows that I have
become a christian." But woman's work
cannot be confined to the home sphere.
Ages ago, under the Old Testament
economy, women were identified with
public affairs and sustained positions of
responsibility. Those last at the cross
and first at the grave were women, and
the first one to proclaim a risen Redeemer
was a woman. To-day there are women
poets, women scientists, women artists,
women lecturers, women reformers, women educators, women physicians, women lawyers, women in business, and
women evangelists.
Mrs. Hampson has for a score of years
been telling "the old, old story" of Jesus
and his love. As she discoursed one
evening after another to large audiences
at Kawaiahao church on the commanding theme of the great salvation, we
thought of Chadwick's lines,
"She spoke of justice, truth and love,
How soft her word* distilled!
She spoke of Qod; and all the place
Was with His presence filled."
And under the powerful presentation of
the truth we think all must cordially have
said Amen to Paul's sentiment, "There
is neither male nor female; for ye are
ail one in Christ Jesus."
As to the results, christians have been

Our thanks are due the publishers of

and "The Honolulu Guide Book of Information" for copies. Both contain much
valuable information.
Dr. Damon, who for over forty years
has enjoyed uninterrupted health, has

We call especial attention to the advertisement of Miss Frances E. Willard's
new book, "Woman and Temperance."
It is a very complete statement of the
part woman has taken in this great work,
and her talent for it. The members of
our local W. C. T. U. especially will find
the book of value. Rev. J. S. Cutler is
the agent.

THE CHURCHES.
THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH.
JANUARY—FEBRUARY.
The Church work for 1885 opened
with a sociable on the evening of New
Year's day, which was well attended.
At a called meeting the following persons wore chosen as Sunday School officers:
Superintendent, Mr. J. Robbins; Secretary, Mr. T. M. Henderson; Treasurer,
Mr. Jonathan Shaw; Librarian, Mr. Win.
Clark: Assistant Librarians, Mr. Fred.
Win. and Ernest Thrum; Prudential
Com., Mr. H. A. Parmelee, Mrs. E. C.
Oggel, Mr. E. C. Damon; Lesson Com.,
Mrs. B. F. Dillingham, Mrs. S. M.
Damon, Mr. J. O. Carter, Mr. H. A.
Parmelee.
A vote of thanks was accorded Mr. H.
A. Parmelee for his faithful and efficient
services as Superintendent for the past
three years.
On Sabbath morning, January 11th,
the Sunday School exercises were in harmony with Mrs. Hampson's work at
Kawaiahao Church. Mrs. S. M. Damon,
as usual, presided at the organ and led
the school in several appropriate hymns.
Addresses were made by Superintendent
Robbins and E. C. Oggel, the pastor, appealing to the scholars to dedicate themselves to the service of Jesus without
delay. Mrs. Dr. Lowell Smith then led
in a fervent prayer for the blessing of the
Holy Spirit on all present.
On Sunday morning, the 18th, the
pastor preached on "Confessing Christ,"
the Rev. Robert Mackenzie of San Francisco assisting, and in the evening on
"The Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of
Great Price."
January 25th, the closing Sabbath of
the month, was full of interest and encouragement. A large congregation was
present at the morning service. The
pastor spoke briefly on Ps, 34:8, "O taste
and see that the Lord }s good." The
to three adults. Nineteen |>ersons were
admitted to membership; twelve on profession of faith, and seven by letter from
Presbyterian Churches in the States and
Canada. The sacrament of Communion
was celebrated with gratitude and praise.
Rev. Dr. C. M. Hyde assisted, administering the cup. The pastor conveyed to
the communicants a message from Dr.
Damon, that in the forty-two years of
his pastorate he has never been absent
from the regular prayer-meetings on account ot sickness, and that this was the
first communion morning on which
through illness he could not be present;
but that he was restful in God, and rejoiced with us in the goodness of the
Lord to us as a (Church. Prayer was offered both morning and evening for the
recovery of Dr. Damon and Mrs. Lowell
Smith.
In the evening the discourse was on the
love of Christ in the gift of Himself for
our salvation. The after-meeting was of
especial interest, several persons testifying, from individual experience, to the
saving power of Jesus.
On Tuesday evening, the 27th, a meeting of officers and teachers to promote
the interests of the Sunday School was
held at the residence of Mr. J. O. Carter,
on Nuuanu avenue.
The following are the subjects for the
Wednesday evening meetings this
month :
Feb. 4, Monthly Concert—China.
Feb. 11, Social Worship—Mat. 18:19,20.
Feb. 18, Stand fast!—Gal. 5:1.
Feb. 25, Wide awake—Luke 14:2,3.
Go out and compel them to come in,

FORT-ST. CHURCH.
Notwithstanding the marked depres-
sion in business circles, and the feeling
of financial uncertainty and the necessity
for economy, the annual sale of slips and
sittings in Fort-St. Church realized over
$5,000, securing an ample revenue for
the coming year.
The regular church-work for the past
month has, of course, been greatly broken
up by Mrs. Hampson's evangelistic services, only the Sabbath School sessions
being held for the first two Sundays in
the month. It was with a satisfied, "itis-good-to-be-at-home" feeling that the
congregation gathered on Sunday morning, Jan. 18th, in the "home church."
It is said that "one of the benefits of a
vacation is the satisfaction with which
one returns to his, hom,e." Certainly
there was this satisfaction in many hearts
on the resumption of our own services.
The event of the month was the strong,
earnest sermon of Rev. R. Mackenzie on
Sunday evening, Jan. 18th. A large
audience was present, and were wellrepaid by the suggestive, eloquent evan«
gelical discourse. Mr. Mackenzie showed
the self-possession and power of a true
orator, in his compelling the attention

THE BROADER CHURCH.
In reading English current religious
intelligence, we read about the Broad
Church party in the Established Church.
The recent visit of Mrs. Hampson and
the position she took among the nonEpiscopalians in Honolulu, indicates that
there is a party in the English Church
which has always given Mr. Moody a
warm and cordial a reception whenever
he has visited England. Among the
best and most earnest supporters of Mr.
Moody in England, have been members
of the Established Church. We are
always rejoiced to witness a cordial sympathy among Christians, no matter to
what particular branch of the Christian
Church they may be attached. True
Christian sympathy and fellowship rides
alxive the partition walls of all sects and
denominations. It is on this account
that we have witnessed the progress of
Mrs. Hampson's Evangelistic labors in
Honolulu with interest. This is a consummation to which we have ever directed our efforts as a minister of the
gospel. Our Savior's language is full
of meaning; "By this shall all men
know ye are my disciples, if ye love
one another."

an absolute necessity that the officers, and the

welcoming them, even though they wear very

is such a recognized power in that great

THE CHINESE PROBLEM.
Looking over some old books the other
day, we ■mine across Charles Nordholf's
'California," a book written a little more
than ten years ago, and therefore fairly
entitled, in this fast age, when we live as
much in ten years as our forefathers tlid
in fifty, to be called an "old" book. And
we were struck by the sturdy common
sense and clear Chiistian insight or foresight of the views therein expressed as
to the Chinese problem. We have room
to quote only a sentence or two which
are as full of truth and as pertinent to us
here now as they were to California and
the United States ten years ago. He
says: ''John is inevitable. He has discovered America (Hawaii nei?) and finds
It a good country. We shall not keep
him out. But it is ours, and not his, to
determine whether he shall be a curse or
a blessing to us. If we treat him as
Christianity teaches that we ought to
treat our fellow menj-if we do unto him
as we would that others should do unto
us; if we see that he is instructed in that
which we believe to be right, he may become a useful part of us. Teachable he
certainly is; a far more civilized being—
or rather, a far less savage creature—
than many we get from Christian Great
Britain." And again, "In some way,
not by laws, for they can do nothing, but
by missionary effort; by earnest, general,
conscientious training, John must be
brought to a comprehension of our customs, so that, even if he does not become
a Christian in name or in fact, he shall
yet learn to conform his lift; to that of
our American people, and not live among
us disordering and disorganizing our own
society."
Nordhoff never said a truer thing, and
we rejoice to know that there are many
friends of Christianity and of social
older and purity on these Hawaiian
Islands who take a similar view of the
case and are willing to do what they can
for the Christian enlightenment and advancement of our Chinese brother men
on these shores.
The Hawaiian Board have ordered a
new edition of 4,000 copies of the Gilbert Island Hymn Book. Also a new
edition of 1,000 copies of the Marhall
Island Primary Arithmetic. These are
to be printed in San Francisco in time to
send forward to Micronesia by the new
"Morning Star" next May.

ITEMS.
The total amount of stock taken in the
new Morning Star by the Sabbath Schools
on these islands to date is $<i47.f15.
We regret to record the death of one of
our most promising and valued Hawaiian
Missionaries to the Gilbert Islands, Rev.
8. K. Maunaloa, who died at Kawela,
Molokiii, January 2d, 1885, of hemorrhage of the lungs.
On the Ist of January, Rev. S. W.
Kokuewa, formerly a valued missionary
of this Hoard to the Marshall Islands,
was installed p:ist«r of the native church
of North Kohala, hitherto under the care
of Rev. K. Bond.
Rev. S. L. Desha, the young and
promising pastor of the church at Kealakekua, Hawaii, was married January
Ist, IMBO to Miss Mary Kekumano. Rev.
G. W. VVaiau, pastor of the Church at
Ilookena in South Kona, performed the
ceremony.
The Church building at Puako, a few
miles south of Kawaihae, originally
built under the active superintendence
of Rev. L. Lyons, having been, for some
years in a dilapidated condition, has been
rebuilt under the direction of Rev. S. C.
Luhiau, and with the active and praisworthy assistance of Mr. John Stupplebeen, the new building was dedicated on New Year's Day.
New Year's Sabbath School Conventions were the order of the day this year
at Wailuku, on Maui, and North Kona,
on Hawaii. At Wailuku the Sabbath
Schools of Maui and Molokai were all
represented, numbering in all between
six and seven hundred. H. R. H. Princess Liliuokalani Dominis and other invited guests from a distance graced the
occasion with their presence.
Rev. E M. Pease and family left by
the Mariposa, January loth, on their way
to the United States for a year's rest and
recruiting. Dr. Pease takes with him
the final manuscript translation of the
whole New Testament in (he Marshall
Island language, and will superintend its
publication by the American Bible Society during the coming year.
The graduates and former pupils of the
Hilo Boys' Boarding School have taken
steps to raise among themselves the sum
of $25(1 for the erection of a monument
to their late reverend and beloved teacher
Rev. D. B. Lyman. It is to be of Italian
marble, and will mark his resting place
in the beautiful little foreign cemetery at
Hilo. This graceful act of theirs is a
spontaneous tribute of affection and esteem from bis former pupils.
There are now two organized Chinese
churches on these Islands connected with
the work of the Hawaiian Board. The
one here in Honolulu, with ail educated
and excellent Chinese pastor, and an
active membership of between seventyfive and one hundred; and the other at
Kohala, with a competent and earnest
Chinese preacher. Besides these there
is a valuable Chinese colporteur and
preacher at Hilo, doing a good work
among the Chinese in that district, and
another at Paia on East Maui, engaged
in similarlabors for theChinese so thickly
scattered In that region. It is interesting to note that at the last communion
in the Chinese Church of Honolulu on
the first Sabbath of last month, seven
adults were received to membership on
confession of faith, and two children
were baptized. There are also several
candidates for admission at the next
communion season. At Kohala, in November last, two adults were received to
membership in the Chinese Church on
confession of their faith.
Tiik war in China having resulted in
much hardship and persecution to the
Christian Chinese in that land, the sympathies of our Christian Chinese on these
islands have been enlisted for their suffering brethren in the home land, and at
the close of last year a contribution of
$1520 was sent forward by them to Rev.
R. Leehler to be distributed among the
needy Chinese Christians of southern
China, without regard to sect or denomination. The boys also of the Chinese
school here made up a little purse among
themselves of about eight dollars as their
contribution to aid the children of those
suffering ones. Surely this is a noble
example. "By their fruits ye .shall know
them" are the words of Christ.
DONATIONS.
Our hearty thanks are due to Mr. J.
T. Waterhouse, Sen. for his liberal
Christmas gift of $250, and to Mrs. M.
S. Rice for an equally generous and
timely donation of $250 more to aid the
w ork of Mr. F. W. Damon, our Superintendentof the Chinese Evangelical work.
Such investments are worth far more,
both for "the life that now is, and for
that which is to come," than plantation,
railroad, steamship, or commercial, or
even government bonds and stocks.

THE BABY'S FACE. AT THE

—A TEMPERANCE STORY.
BY MRS. SUSAN T. PERRY.
"I am very sorry, Wilbur, but we shall
be obliged to give you a less responsible
position than the one you now hold."
These words were spoken in the private office of the large manufactory of
Wells & Co. The man who spoke them
was sitting in a chair by the desk. He
was the senior member pi the thin. The
man to whom they were ■ddretved stood
with one hand upon the knob of the door;
his hat was in the other band. He was
a tine hsoking young man, with a (till,
erect form, broad shoulders, and splendid
physique. He bad a keen eye and a
bright face.
After the gentleman at the desk had
eeaeed speaking, the employee presented
a moody silence for some momenta His
first impulse would have led him to refuse to take a subordinate position; his
pride struggled hard against what was

he to do? There were plenty of others
waiting to take it if he should leave it.
He did not look up into the speaker's
face, but answered with a despairing
tone of voice:
I am very sorry, Mr. Wells."
It is not necessary for me to fell you

too many interests at stake to allow us to
run any risks. If you would only be
true to yourself, Wilbur, all would be
"
"
right."
As Mr. Wells ceased speaking the
young man bowed, and went out of the
office. A gentleman came in just as he
passed out As he closed the office door
the new comer asked:
Was that Wilbur Cummings, whom I just met at the
door?"
"Yes," replied Mr. Wells, "it was."
How he has changed in two years!"
said the first speaker.
He seems to
have such a Imng-dog look. What has
happened?"
Wilbur Is his own worst enemy,"
said Mr. Wells, sadly. "lam sorry to
say that he is drinking heavily of late.
He is not as reliable and responsible as
he used to be."
"How strange it is!" said the gentleman, that men will make such fools of
themselves! I don't believe that it is
necessary for any man to go beyond a
certain limit. I take my wine at dinner
and a glass of beer now and then, but
further than that I never go."
Perhaps you may be strong enough
to be able to control your appetite, but I
found when I was a young man that I
could not be governed by any such rules.
I have seen the time when one glass made
me desirous for more, and later for a
larger quantity than was proper for me
to have. I have been obliged to give up

oft entirely, for 1 am hoping font reformation in him, but I cannot continue him
in his present position. He had one of
the best of mothers. I knew her well.
He has a splendid wife, and a baby.
They lost their two first children."
While this conversation was being carried on in the olfice of the manufactory,
Wilbur Cuuiniiugs was slowly walking
toward home. It was the dose of a raw
November day.
Everything looked
gloomy anil cheerless. The young man
buttoned his overcoat tightly over his
chest, and as Ik cast his eye down upon
it be said:
••How shabby I am getting to be!
The whole world has turned a cold
shoulder to me; even Wells has Insulted
me by ottering
me asubordinate position,
and my pride almost compels me to quit
the place this very night. What an unlucky fellow lam anyway! Everything
conspires to drag me down. Things in
this world are so unequally divided.
Some folks are always in luck. There is
no use ot trying to he anything; everybody gives me a kick. I'll go up to
treason's before I go home and get a
drink. That is all the consolation I have,
anyhow."
This resolution seemed to give Wilbur
a new impetus, and he quickened his
pace. But he was obliged to pass by
his little home on the way to the saloon.
His wife was usually in the kitchen at
that time getting supper, and he thought
he could pass by without being Men.
But as he glanced toward the little house
he culled his home, he saw the baby's
face pressed against the window pane.
The little child saw him, and immediately its face illuminated with joy, and a
happy smile lieained upon it, and as its
father approached nearer, it held out its
little hands to be taken.
"The baby Is watching for me," he
thought as he waved his hand in recognition. "Watching for me, his miserable father. 'The sins of the father—the
sins of the father!'" he muttered to himself. "What is the rest of it?" Instantly he seemed to hear his mother's
voice, as he did in the long years ago
when he repeated the words after her:
"The sins of the father shall be visited
apom the children." "That is it—'Shall
be visited upon the children!'
He stopped in front of the window and
the baby hand threw a kiss out to him
in the gray twilight.
"I'll go in and take the baby first,"
thought he. "The little fellow will lie
so disappointed if I pass on. I'll go to
Gleason's after supper."
In another moment he had taken the
ittle one in his arms and kissed the
"
baby face that watched so patiently for
his coming. He went into the kitchen,
where his wife was preparing the evening meal, with the baby In his arms.
"I've had a letter from mother to-day,"
his wife said, very cheerily. "She has
invited us down there for New Year's
day."
"You and the baby can go. I shan't
husband, in a gruff tone of
voice.
"You know I shall not go if you do
not," his wife said, this time with no
show of enthusiasm.
"The Bartlett's
are going," she continued, "and I wish
we could go too."
"Bartlett has got something to go
with; I haven't," he answered, as he
put the baby in its high chair at the
table.
His wife would like to have asked her
husband why they hadn't any means to
use, as well as their neighbor, especially
as he had nut as large a salary as Wilbur
had. But she had learned that silence
was golden, and silence was strength
at such times. So she put her'supper on
the table mh\ prepared her husband's
meal just as he liked it best.
While the husband was eating his
supper he noticed that his wife's only
decent dress for visiting occasions was
lying over the back of a chair; her scissors and work-basket were on the seat.
"Nan thought she was going to her
mother's for New Year's, and she has
been ripping up that old dress again to
make it look like a new one, I suppose.
Poor Nannie!"
He remembered at that moment what
a fresh, pretty, trusting girl she was
when, only a few years before, she bad
promised to take him "for belter for
worse, for richer for poorer."
You made a poor bargain, Nan," he
said, when you married me. lam one
of the unlucky ones. You needn't expect to be anything or have anything
while you are tied to such a miserable
fellow as 1 am."
"And why not, Willie dear?" she said.
You know I love you dearly."
"Nan," ho said, looking her straight
in the eye, tell me if you do not regret
that you ever married me. What a
comfortable, warm home you had! Was
it not a great deal nicer there than it is
now out in the cold, comfortless world
with me?"
(), Willie, please don't talk so. What
is the matter?" The wife's hand was
instantly laid upon the husband's head,
and she stooped over and kissed him.
You know, Willie dear, 1 never regretted being your wife."
Well, Nan, nobody would blame you
if you did. You are worthy of a nobler,
better and stronger husband than I am."
As he glanced over the room everything seemed to look shabbier and poorer
than ever. Everything in his neighbor's
home was so neat and cosy and attractive. "Why?" The old saloon-keeper
could have told in a few words. He
lived in a stone-front house; his wife

dressed in silks every day; yes, and on
Willies money—the very money Nan
and the baby ought justly to have.
Catching up his hat, he said:
"Nan, I'll be back before long, but if I
don't get home before bed-time, don't sit
up for me."
"Tiss pupa! tiss papa!" the baby said,
lifting up its little face.
Wilbur Cumming's hand was already
upon the door-knob, but he relinquished
its hold and came back and kissed the
baby.
"Kiss me, too," said the wife, as she
went to the door with him, "and please
Willie, don't stay out late to-night, I'm
so lonely."
Wilbur Cummings was outside the
door, out in the chill November darkness.
His first impulse was to go to Gleuson's
and "drown his sorrows," as he expressed it. But something seemed to
arrest his steps. A voice kept saying,
"The sins of the fathers! the sins of the
fathers!"
What right have we to enuiil misery and wretchedness upon our own flesh
and blood, our innocent children?" he
exclaimed. "O, if I only had strength
to overcome this terrible sin!"
Just then he turnedand looked toward
the house. The curtain was rolled up a
little way, and there was the baby's face
peeping through the glass, looking out
for him. The tears came to .his eyes;
they rolled down his cheeks.
God helping me,
"I will," he said,
bo a better man. My child shall not
suffer for his father's sins!"
He buttoned his coat more tightly
over his chest, for he was facing the east
wind. He walked rapidly, but in an
opposite direction from Gleason's. When
he stopped it was before a large, handsome house in the avenue. He rang the
bell, and when the door was opened he
asked for Mr. Wells. While he waited
in the hall he heard the merry voices of
happy children. The music gave him
renewed courage. When Mr. Wells,
after a few moments of waiting, appeared
in the hall, his employee said:
"Please excuse me, Mr. Wells, for interrupting you at this time, but please
God, and by his help, I am going to be
a better man. Will you try me once
more, sir?"
Mr. Wells stood and hesitated a few
minutes, and then he said, as he took
hold of Wilbur's hand with a cordial
grasp:
"Yes, Wilbur, I will trust you once
more. It will be a struggle and a fight.
These victories are not won without
combats and conflicts," his employer
continued. "Put your trust in God, and
rely upon his strength for help."
The baby had gone to sleep, and the
young wife had turned down the light,
locked the doors, and, with a thick shawl
wrapped around her, she had also gone
out into the darkness. Wilbur's manner
had been so desperate that she was filled
with alarm. She had been up the street
in frout of Gleason's, but of course she
