The epicurean made Him
being. Their common philosophy is like
that of the present day, which boldy declares that God cannot be known.
While atheism denies the existence
and personality of (tod, agnosticism neither affirms nor denies. It says we have
no knowledge of (tod and of man's relation to the Supreme" Being.
The term is applied only to Cod and
religion. It is admitted that in other fields
we may come to know what is true.
There are questions that have arisen in
the mind for which it has craved a solution. Men of intellectual strength have
devoted the best part of their lives to a
careful and profound investigation of history, astronomy and philosophy ; and
though after long and laborious research
only a part —and perhaps but a small
part —of what may be known is ascertained, yet there are many things which
as results of diligent and profound study
we have accepted as facts worthy of our
belief. It would be remote from the
truth to say that we know everything,
for instance, about astronomy; but it
would be as far from being true to say
that we know nothing about it. The
same applies to agriculture, art, and the
like. It is also agreed that some things
are known of man, as to his physical and
mental organization. But when we approach the existence of Cod, it is asserted
that nothing can be known or understood
of a .Supreme Being, and that there is DO
attainableness of any religious knowledge. But this theory of Cod as the unknown and the unknowable bears the
mark of insufficient investigation. Says
The Occident in this connection:
Before a man can Bay there is no evidence of
God be must be a great explorer. He must possess
such powers as to bring himself up lo the level of
omniscience. Fur if in bis own breast and mind
and heart and moral nature, if in bis own intelligence and will, he cannot Und any evidence of
God, he may find it in Nature. If he does not find
it in New York, he may find it in Pennsylvania; it
he does not find it in Pennsylvania, he may find it
in California; if he does not find it in California,
he may find it in Nevada; if he does not find it in
Nevada, he may find it in British North America;
if he does not find it there, be may in tbe ocean.
And if be does not find it in these, what right has
he—while the whole universe is unexplored, while
the stars shine out m their beauty, while they revolve with suoh perfect mathematical accuracy,
while the moon performs her functions, and while
the sun never sets in shade, but nil shades mid
darkness and doaht vanish before his translucent
presenoe—what right has a man, while the
i/roat universe is unexplored, to say,
There
is no evidence of God !" He must first traverse
that universe; and when be shall have gone from
star to star and | I met to planet in his ureal search,
and fidled, then, and imfl ill then, he will have the
right to say, '* There is no evidence of a personal
God." For who knows, if he has not found God
in Saturn, but he may be in Mars; if he has not
found linn in Mars, but that he may he in Orion?
And when man has thus searched with finite power
and only tli.it, there will be yet before him the infinite eternities of time to aid Inm in the search;
and thus be must be an omnipotence in himself

Ho Insists that bishops are everywhere
and always spiritual lords," and advises
everyliody to read a sermon of Canon
Liddon's, in order that they may know
all almut "lord-bishops." Thank you,
but we prefer our Greek Testament,
if it is all the same to you. And
there we learn, in the language of
Dean Alford (see his Commentary on
Acts 20:17) who ought to be good Anglican authority, that Klders and Bishops were originally and apostolically synonymous." In the New Testament we
get no hint of any such office as lordbishop.
Bishop" and "Klder" were
two names for the same office. So says
Dean I'luinptre.of Kings College,London:
"EpUoopoi (bishops) and presbuteroi
(elders) are nowhere named together as
being orders distinct from each other.
The same persons are deserilied by Imth
mimes," (Article on Bishops, Smith's
Bible Dictionary.) We regard Jesus
Christ as of still greater authority than
even two Anglican Deans, and his plain
teaching on this question of
lordship
would seem to be sufficient:

A BIT OF DIFFERENCE.
We remember the story of a man
passing along the street, who rashly interfered when he saw an Irishman chastising his wife, and for his pains, the
wife joined with the husband and
thrashed the benevolent gentleman
soundly, and so we hesitate to take any
hand in "the little bit of difference"
between "Alfred Honolulu," whoever he
may be, and the Editors of The A. C. Y.
We have searched our copy of the Directory for the name of "Alfred Honolulu,"
and cannot find it. The Editors tells us
that he is
the Bishop of Honolulu,"
but as we have fifteen or twenty Bishops (sco Acts 20:17, 28,) in Honolulu,
that does not help us much. Hence we
are compelled to accept this title as a
norn dc plume. But it is not the identity
of the persons engaged, so much as the
bit of difference" between them which
interests us.
As near as we can understand it, it Is
a question of breath, or narrowness. Our
friends, the Editors, in their June number, seized the rubber band of Anglicanism, set their feet together and by vigorous pulling made it look quite broad.
But even this rather forced enlargement
of the Anglican clastic ecclesiastical circle looked too small to their anonymous
correspondent. And so, in the July

•
And then The A. C. C.'s anonymous
correspondent takes up the important
matter of ministerial dress, upon which,
in his opinion The Chronicle was not
"broad" enough. He claims boldly that
in the matter of church-millinery there
are no "sealed patterns, after which each
surplice, stole, chasuble, ety.," must bo
made, but that here the church is very
"broad," so much so that "all manner
of varieties of shapes and patterns may

that one of the editors of The A. C. C.
should see fit to exercise his "liberty,"
as to the form of his surplice, and next
Sunday morning should appear before
his congregation in the broad church

sleeves, and in imitation of the latest
dress.reform, the bottom bi-furcated !
Would he not And the climate of
Honolulu grow very tropical, and that
speedily? Would "Alfred Honolulu"
stand by the priest, and shield him from
the authority of his "lord-bishop" in this
exercise of his liberty?
The A. Y. O.'e correspondent passes
from the great question of ministerial
dress to say:
This may seem bqt a small matter. [Yea, it
does.—Ed. Frump.] But what it points to is thi*

—that the Anglican, Ctrqrcb, so far from being

narrow, formal, exclusive, national "isnt"—a
kind of Procrustean bed to huh the dimensions of
which every one must be cut down, or stretobed
according as he should be found too tall or too
short; a system which aims at moulding all within
its pale after one pattern with Chinese exactness
—is the most tolerant, liberal, and comprehensive
branch of the Church Catholic
Perhaps ! In the matter of belief, the
Anglican Church is "broad"—so "broad"
that it is a serious question whether her
liberty does not degenerate into looseness.
But in all other things U she dyes not
build a "Procrustean bed" what church
does? Mr. Machonochie, in England, by
exercising his "liberty" in one direction,
and Mr. Cheney, in America, by exercising his in another, learned how
"broad" the "Procrustean bed" is.
And so does every "priest" who Jares
exercise the liberty in worshipping God
which the New Testament grants to
every redeemed soul, dare a "priest"
of the "broad," "liberal," "tolerant,"
church deviate one iota from her
prescribed forms ? Suppose some great
calamity, or some other Providence
of God, has touched all hearts in the
community: Dare the "priest" standing at the altar of the broad church
deviate one single word from the set
service? Dare he read a comforting
passage from God's word other than the
lesson of the day, or voice in prayer the
thought and petition in every heart?
No, not until some "lord-bishop" has
been pleased to dictate to him the form
of words lie may use; and if there is no
such functionary at hand, he must stand
there before his people dumb, without
one particle of liberty.
And "most tolerant, liberal!'' John
Bunyan and the Pilgrim Fathers did not
find the Anglican church very tolerant.
We shall be told, of course, that that
was an intolerantage, and that the Anglican church simply was no better and tin
worse than all others at that time. But
the church which to-day arrogantly
claims that it is "the only church,"
and all others are "sects;" which denies
the validity of all ordinations except
her own and refuses the title of clergyman to all ministers of the Gospel
except her owu "priests;" which claims
that her houses of worship alone are
churches while all others are only "meeting-house," or "chapels;" which intimates, if she does not openly claim, that
through her baptismal-regeneration and
church-door lies the way of salvation, may
perhaps, be the "most liberal and toler.
ant" of all churches, but we should choose
quite different words to characterize her
spirit.
We believe, brethren, that your church
has a work to do in this Kingdom. We
rejoice in all its successes. But when we
come to talk about .'breadth" and toleration facts are stubborn things. Instead of
magnifying churches, and organizations,
would it not be a more excellent way to
magnify Christ? The thousands in Hawaii
lying underthe curse and doom of sin,care
little whether our churches are broad or
narrow: they do care for the bread of
life. Shall we not be anxious to excel in
"
"
zeal in giving this to Hawaii ? Then
that church which does this most effectually will have no need to be anxious
for fear its merits will not be known.
BEER DRINKING AND HEALTH.
Perhaps there is no fallacy more widely believed, and more specious, than
that beer drinking is conducive to health.
Beer drinking gives added weight of
flesh, and the appearance of robust
health. And yet U' is i air and promising exterior is invariably the cover of
weakness, which sooner or later succumbs at the touch of disease, or added
strain. On this point, Col. Green, President of the Connecticut Mutual Life
Insurance Co., bears the following significant testimony, which scores of men in
Honolulu,
who. never are the worse
for liquor," would do well to cut out and
paste inside their hats :
"
In one of our largest cities, containing a great
population of beer-drinkers, I had occasion to
note the deaths among a large group of persons,
whose habits in their own eyes, or in Ihe eyes of
their friends and physicians, were temperate: but
they wero habitual users of beer. When I began,
they were on the average, something under middle
age, and they were, of course, selected lives. For
two or three years nothing remarkable was to be
noted. Hut presently death began to strike the
group, and until it bad dwindled to a fraction the
mortality was astounding in extent, and still more
remarkable in tbe manifest identity of cause ami
mode. Thar* was no mistaking, the history was
Volume 43, No. 8
worshipping God, and who takes upon
his broad shoulders added responsibility
that the Sunday (School and the* prayermeeting may continue to do their work.
Blessed is that Christian : he shall not
lose his reward. And blessed is that
Church which has a large corps of such.
And those who do leave home for a
time need this type of religion. Our
advice to every one is: If possible take a
vacation, but take your religion with
you. We have known people, of whom
the Church had a right to expect better
things, leave their religion at home when
they started on a vacation. Take a religion with you which will enable you to
keep the Sabbath holy; which will make
you unselfish and mindful of the rights of
others; which will make you keen-eyed
to see opportunities to do good, so that it
may be true of you, as it was of Christ,
that "as He journeyed He taught;"
which will lead you to the house of God,

Yes. Very true, and very well put.
But what about the smoke from the omnipresent cigars and pipes ? The smoke
is taken into the smoker's mouth, and is
then puffed out into the air, and often
into they ry faces of other people.
These unfortunates have no choice in the
matter; they must take into their nostrils
and langs that which has been in the
omnipresent smoker's mouth. Has any
man a right, for the sake of gratifying
an acquired appetite, to force clean, decent people to fill their lungs with smoke
which lie has just ejected fromhis mouth?
We agree with The Nation in all that it
says about "excessive salivation." But
the nuisance of smoke-poisoned air, which
clean i>eople are compelled to endure in
all public places is still worse. Clean
people can avoid the snail-like trail of
salivation which the average smoker
leaves behind him, and by care can keep
their clothing and persons from defilement, but how can they keep their nostrils and lungs from defilement? The
smoker would be insulted were he offered
a glass of water a mouthful of which hud
been returned to the glass after having
been in some one else's mouth, and yet
when he puffs his cigar along the street,
or in a public place, he compels other
people to take into their lungs that which
he has just ejected from his (clean?)
mouth.
We would not sit in judgment upon
smokers. We would not question the
the right of any one to use tobacco. But
we do hold that no one has the shadow
of a right to use it in public. A gentleman respects the comfort and rights of
others, and one of the rights of every
clean person is the right to breathe pure,
unpoisoned air.
Smoke if you will, but be unselfish
and a gentleman, and do it in private.
BENJAMIN HALE AUSTIN.
Hawaii has met an irreparable loss in
the death of Judge Benjamin Hale
Austin. In his high office so strict was
his integrity, so high his standard of
duty, so colorless and utterly impartial
were his rulings, that even the most bitterly disappointed litigant never dreamed
of questioning his motives. As a citizen
he was unselfish, and always a warm supporter of that public policy which he believed to be right, and which he thought
would result in the "greatest good to the
greatest number." As a husband and
father he was kind, loving, thoughtful.
As a friend he was genuine, and he fastened others "to his soul with hoops of
steel." As a Christian he was sincere,
looking up to God with that implicit confidence and love with which a child looks
to his father. His charity was unfailing,
and his bright smiling face and clear
kindling eye was but the mirror of the
strong, pure, loving soul within. His
memory will abide in Hawaii an inspiration to noble and pure and unselfish
living.

VACATION NOTES.
Volcano Housk, July 20, 1885.
Early in Juno we received a very cordial invitation from the Rev. Mr. Jordan to pay him and his family a visit on
our way to the Volcano. It was accepted with pleasure and we agreed, nothing
preventing, to make our trip the following month. We left Honolulu on Tuesday, July 7th, by the Kinau of the
Wilder's Steamship Company, arriving
the next morning at Mahukona, where
we enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Wight's hospitality at their home till the departure
of our train, which brought us at noon
in good condition at Kohala. Mr. antl
Mrs. Jordan and their little daughter
were at the station to welcome us, and
when we reached the parsonage we were
made to feel at home at once. During
our stay there of nearly a week every
thing was done to make our visit pleasant
and one long to be remembered.
It was a genuine pleasure to meet
Father Bond. Our first introduction to
him was at the large native church,
where a quarterly church meeting was in
progress at the time. He presented us
to the native brethren and after exchanging greetings we expressed our gratification at finding them engaged in the work
of the Lord. On Friday morning Father
Bond placed a model pair of horses at
our disposal for a trip to Polalu Valley.
The ride is one of about six miles
through as many gulches, but on reaching the valley one is abundantly rewarded by the wonderful beauty of the scene
that greets the eye. From the high
point of observation on which we were
standing we gazed at the charming,
lovely landscape below, and it took some
moments to realize that this glorious

During our brief stay we took tea
with them at their pleasantly situatetl
home. For the last seven years Mr.
Dyer has been the efficient and acceptable principal of the schools at Kohala.
During this time they have alsobeen devoted and able helpers in the native and
foreign churches. We received tokens
of kindness from individuals and families.
Horses and conveyances were cheerfully
placed at our disposal. The days, which
passed rapidly, were full of enjoyment
and rest.

preached an appropriate and effectivo sermon on
The mission of Christ to save

administered. The hoar spent together
was profitable and helpful. The writer
preached in the evening and Miss Alice
Kenton assisted the choir by beautifully
rendering a solo entitled "Nazareth."
Brother Jordan bus reason to be greatly
encouraged in his work. According to
the testimony of Father Bond and others
the attendance at church services is larger
than it has ever lieen before. A line

those who have not yet decided for
Christ, but who through the Gospel may
be brought in. There-are also a considerable number of Japanese and Portuguese.
The christians at Kohala are debtors to
these people to lead them to the know I

this direction. The Chinese church is
doing well. The pastor, Kong Tet Ying,
is bold in much esteem. Mi.-s Moiiross
and Miss Turner are efficient helpers in
tho Sunday school.
On Tuesday we spent a good portion of
the day most pleasantly with Mr. James
Ronton and family. Here we had the
pleasure to form the acquaintance of Dr.
and Mrs. Wight. After an elegant luncheon Mr. Renton kindly took us through
his mill and we saw the processes through
which the cane on the field becomes the
sugar for the markets and for daily use.
We took tea with Father Bond and
children. In a short time this venerable
man of Ood will reach his 72nd year. It

HAWAIIAN H.BOARD
AN EMPTY MANTLE.
When Secretary and Missionary Editor
Forbes was granted his well-earned three
months vacation, the Hawaiian Board
tried to fit his editorial mantle upon several brethren; first they tried it
upon Rev. H. Bingham, but as Mr. Forbes
is only about 5 feet (i inches tall, while
Mr. Bingham rejoices in his (J feet 4, it
was at once evident that the mantle was
too short for a good fit. Then the Board
tried to stretch the garment over the
broad shoulders of Rev. S. E. Bishop,
but an ominous tearing of the fabric
warned them to desist. Then, taking
advantage of bis absence in Hilo, the
wise Hoard voted that the
should be forced over the already overburdened shoulders of Dr. Hyde. What
is the old adage about it being " Easy
enough to lead a horse to water, but not
so easy to make him drink"? Well, so
it has proved in this ease. Dr. Hyde
won't don that mantle! And so we have
stuffed it with straw, fastened the dummy
in the hardest-bottomed chair in our
sanctum, put before it a file of papers,
tied a pair of scissors to the end of one
sleeve and a paste-pot to the other, and
lo! as a result the following page of matter!
If this experiment continues to work
satisfactorily we may decide to fill all our
editorial chairs with dummies.
HAWAIIAN LITERATURE.
One great lack in the religious growth
and culture of the llawaiians is a varied
and healthful literature. Aside from the
bible alxait the only literature (?) Which
enters the home of the Hawaiian is the
native newspaper, and with one or two
exceptions, so far as religious growth aud
culture are concerned, the papers are a
detriment. Our duty as a-member of a
committee led us the other day to an examination .if the stock of books kept on
sale by the Hawaiian Hoard. We found
among others the following in Hawaiian:

The contribution box—what is it?
convenient agency through
which we can make some slight return to
God for his countless contributions to us.
Some people object to a contribution box
in church ; they find it very distasteful
to their sense of propriety in worship to
have such an article thrust into their face
every Sunday. Yet is not every one of
us passing his personal contribution box
to the Lord, not on Sunday alone, but
daily? Our instinctive cry is, "Give,
give !" Every prayer is in a certain sense
the passing of a contribution box unto
Him who declares, "Ask and ye shall
receive." The contribution box ought to

SECTARIANISM.
A sectarian is apartizan. He is a man
whose
to externals and nonessentiOTS is stronger than his attachment
to the truth. He is a man who forgets
the interests of truth in his absorbing zeal
for the interests of his party or sect. He
is a man who will "compass sea and land
to make one proselyte." The Pharisees
were sectarians. The Jesuits and Mormon propogandists are sectarians. Every
Christian missionary who seeks to rally
men about the standard of party rather
than about the standard of truth, is a
sectarian. It is not a savory name. Its
declension is pharisee (i.e. sectarian),
hypocrite!
But all religious teachers are not sectarians. John was not, Jesus was not, Paul
was not. The Jews were not all Pharisees, Catholics are not all Jesuits. Religious teachers in the main care more for
truth than party. There is a common
ground on which men of very diverse
creeds can meet and join harmoniously
in practical religious instruction. The
man who doubts the being of God, and
the existence of sin, and the need of salvation, and thepower of Jesus, the Christ,
to save from sin, is the exception and not
the rule. And the man who cannot teach
these fundamentals of our Christian religion without unfurling, his party's banner, be he Catholic or be he Protestant,
is not a man fit to instruct the young in
any morals whatsoever.
The point we make is, that religious
instruction in schools is practicable here
in Hawaii. The pressure of heathen morality is heavier every year. The heathenism of Eastern Asia is stalking into
our school-rooms. If Anglo-Saxon civilization has anything in it that lifts it
above Asiatic and South Sea Island civilzation, it is its Christianity. Hawaii nei,
as against all other creeds, is a Christian
nation. The morality tiught in its schools
must be a Christian morality. It must
be based on the Bible. It must be
grounded in respect for God's truth, and
in reverence for God's character. It must
be definitely Christian, and it can be so
without being sectarian. It was not sectarianism that brought England up out of
heathenism. And sectarianism can do
nothing to rescue this outpost of civilzation from the merciless heathen morality
that is restlessly moving toward our
shores from the West. We are a Christian people, with Christian institutions
and Christian standards, and our schools
should be Christian schools. The policy
that abandons such a position as this will
prove a disastrous one to the schools and
the country alike.

—Every moral code that commands
and secures obedience among men, derives its highest and most restraining
authority from religion. What is needed
in the moral training of the young is the
making of tho conscience regal by the
proper use of the sanctions and authority
of religion. There is a practical mean in
the public school between godless moral
training and technical religious Instruction.—E. E. White, L. L. D.
—TheLondon School Board deals with
800,000 children. In the last three years
its Vice-President, the chief executive
officer of the Board, Mr. Mundella, has
had but one complaint, viz., that of a
father who wished his children withdrawn from religious instruction, a request not granted because the mother
persisted in wishing her children to receive such instruction. And yet it is
the rule of the Board, That the Bible
shall bo read, and there shall be given
such explanations, and such instructions
therefrom, in the principles of morality
and religion as are suited to the capacity
of children ; provided that no attempt
be made in any such schools to attach
children to any particular denomination."
The world's metropolis in this matter sets
an example that might well be imitated
in many another city.
—Since the passage of the famous
"conscience clause" of 1870, a distinct
-revolution in public sentimont lias taken
place in England relative to moral instruction in the schools. There are now
4,273,000 children receiving religious instruction in the schools of Great Britain,
against 1,093,000 in 1870. At Birmingham a very determined effort to secularize the schools was for a time successful,
"but public sentiment experienced a
reaction ; the policy was set aside, and
to-day unsectarian religious instruction
is given in all her Board schools." The
English system favors religious instruction not sectarian, with perfect toleration to all creeds. The American system rules out religious instruction, and
so emasculates its moral training out
of dread of the cry of sectarianism. The
English system is definitely Christian,
and so aligns itself with the highest civilization ; the American system at best is
only apologetically Christian.

LIPPINCOTT'S MAGAZINE.
LippincotVs Magazine for July opens
with a fresh and long instalment of "On

likely to pass over in quest of more entertaining matter. No seriar published
during the present year has excited
wider interest or been more unanimously
commended. "A Temple Pilgrimage,"
by Henry Frederic Reddall, describes
very delightfully the buildings and purlieus of those famous
inns of court,"
the Middle and Inner Temple, so rich in
historical and literary associations, extending from the days of the Crusaders
to those of Goldsmith, Lamb, and Dickens. "The Next Vacation," by Alice
Wellington Rollins, offers a tempting

bait to summer tourists in its facinating
description of the scenery of the Great

inland voyage from Buffalo or Detroit to
Duluth.

by Edmund Kirke. An article, by J.
Bunting, on the late Joseph J. Mlckley,
the well-known collector of coins, autographs, and rarities of many kinds, and

IS CHRISTIANITY DECLINING.
Rev. Dr. C. H. Parkhurst, in tho July
number of The North American Review,
has one of the brightest, keenest articles
on the alleged decline of Christianity
which we have read in many a day. In regard to the present loud-mouthed "assurance of unfaith," Dr. Parkhurst shows
that it is no new thing. He says :
In the North American Review of
December, 1879, Froude says, "Protestantism has failed." In the Atlantic
Monthly of an earlier date Goldwin
Smith writes, Belief in Christianity as
a revealed and supernatural religion has
given way." In 1808 Dr. Ewer issued a
book entitled Protestantism a failure."
Buckle in his History of Civilization In
England," claimed that Protestantism
had seen its best days.
In the times of
Aaron Burr," says Parton, it was confidently predicted that Christianity could
not survive two more generations." Of
the same period another writer states
that Wild and vague expectations were
everywhere
especially
entertained,
among the young, of a new order of
things about to commence, in which
Christianity would bo laid aside as an
obsolete system." Considerably more
Bethan a century ago Voltaire said,
fore the beginning of the 19th century
Christianity will have disappeared from
the earth."It is an instructivecoincidence
that the room in which Voltaire uttered
these words has since been used as a
Bible repository. "They came unto the
sepulchre bringing the spices which they
had prepared, and they entered In and
found not the body of the Lord Jesus."
And it is still so ; a redundancy of ointment, but no corpse.
Dr. Parkhurst calls attention to an oftforgotten fact that in measuring the progress of Christianity we must take into
account the force of resistance which it
meets. Whatever Christianity has done
or is doing, it is doing it all in the
teeth of spontaneous impulse. Every
inch that Christianity has gained or may
still be gaining, it has gained in a square
fight." Dr. Parkhurst confines his review of facts to America, and calls attention to two special hindrances to the pro-

gress of Christianity there, viz: 1. The
intellectual and spirtual independence of
her people ; 2. The vast foreign immigration—eight millions in the last 30
years—a large proportion of which, is anti-Protestant, anti-temperance, anti-Subbath, anti-Bible." Dr. Parkhurst then
says :
And now as to the actual tokens which
Christianity is at present giving of its
own vigor.
going
As to any suspicion that
forward in society a process of moral deterioration, such suspicion is* historically
unfounded and is explicable on three
grounds: the avidity of newspapers,
which stand in electric connection with
the remotest quarters of the country and
make a point of giving largest prominence to whatever will satisfy an appetite
for the sensational; meager acquaintance
with the moral condition of society fifty,
a hundred, or a thousand years ago ; and
an elevated moral sentiment that takes
offense now at what in time past would
have been accounted as tolerable or even
unexceptionable. Writing of a period a
hundred years back, a recent contributor
to JUackwootVs Magazine says:
"It
was an age when delicate young women
of the best blood and best manners in the
land talked with a coarseness which editors of the nineteenth century can represent only by asterisks."
It is part
of the history of the old church at Andover, Mass., that the chief causes of discipline for 125 years were fornication and
drunkenness. Theodore Parker, writing
in regard to the fathers of New England
says, It is easier to praise them for virtues they did not possess than to judge
them with fairness and discrimination."
As illustrating the coarse intemperance
of the times among Christian" people, he
states that it is recorded in the probate
office that in 1078, at the funeral of tho
widow of John Norton, one of the ministers of the First Church, in Boston, abovo
fifty gallons of wines were consumed by
the mourners. Just two hundred years
ago at the funeral of the pastor of tho
church at Ipswich, Mass., there was consumed one barrel of wine and two barrels
of cider." If this occurred at the funeral
of an old and loved pastor, we can infer
what excesses would be habitual on occasions less stated and solemn. In a historical survey of the Congregational
churches of one of the New England
Not very far
States, it is related that
from the period of the Revolution,
several councils were held in one of the
towns where the people were trying to
get rid of a minister who was. often the
worse for liquor, even in the pulpit, and
once at least at the communion table!
but some of the neighboring ministers
stood by him, and the people had to endure him till death." This reminds me
of the case of one who not above fifty
years ago was deacon of a prominent
church in western Massachusetts, who
had habitually a drunken spree as an
after-effect of tasting the wine at the sacrament, but whose irregularities were

AGNOSTICISM.
of Paul's time bound (tod
Stoic
The
fast in tho chains of necessity and fate.
The epicurean made Him
being. Their common philosophy is like
that of the present day, which boldy declares that God cannot be known.
While atheism denies the existence
and personality of (tod, agnosticism neither affirms nor denies. It says we have
no knowledge of (tod and of man's relation to the Supreme" Being.
The term is applied only to Cod and
religion. It is admitted that in other fields
we may come to know what is true.
There are questions that have arisen in
the mind for which it has craved a solution. Men of intellectual strength have
devoted the best part of their lives to a
careful and profound investigation of history, astronomy and philosophy ; and
though after long and laborious research
only a part —and perhaps but a small
part —of what may be known is ascertained, yet there are many things which
as results of diligent and profound study
we have accepted as facts worthy of our
belief. It would be remote from the
truth to say that we know everything,
for instance, about astronomy; but it
would be as far from being true to say
that we know nothing about it. The
same applies to agriculture, art, and the
like. It is also agreed that some things
are known of man, as to his physical and
mental organization. But when we approach the existence of Cod, it is asserted
that nothing can be known or understood
of a .Supreme Being, and that there is DO
attainableness of any religious knowledge. But this theory of Cod as the unknown and the unknowable bears the
mark of insufficient investigation. Says
The Occident in this connection:
Before a man can Bay there is no evidence of
God be must be a great explorer. He must possess
such powers as to bring himself up lo the level of
omniscience. Fur if in bis own breast and mind
and heart and moral nature, if in bis own intelligence and will, he cannot Und any evidence of
God, he may find it in Nature. If he does not find
it in New York, he may find it in Pennsylvania; it
he does not find it in Pennsylvania, he may find it
in California; if he does not find it in California,
he may find it in Nevada; if he does not find it in
Nevada, he may find it in British North America;
if he does not find it there, be may in tbe ocean.
And if be does not find it in these, what right has
he—while the whole universe is unexplored, while
the stars shine out m their beauty, while they revolve with suoh perfect mathematical accuracy,
while the moon performs her functions, and while
the sun never sets in shade, but nil shades mid
darkness and doaht vanish before his translucent
presenoe—what right has a man, while the
i/roat universe is unexplored, to say,
There
is no evidence of God !" He must first traverse
that universe; and when be shall have gone from
star to star and | I met to planet in his ureal search,
and fidled, then, and imfl ill then, he will have the
right to say, '* There is no evidence of a personal
God." For who knows, if he has not found God
in Saturn, but he may be in Mars; if he has not

A BIT OF DIFFERENCE.
We remember the story of a man
passing along the street, who rashly interfered when he saw an Irishman chastising his wife, and for his pains, the
wife joined with the husband and
thrashed the benevolent gentleman
soundly, and so we hesitate to take any
hand in "the little bit of difference"
between "Alfred Honolulu," whoever he
may be, and the Editors of The A. C. Y.
We have searched our copy of the Directory for the name of "Alfred Honolulu,"
and cannot find it. The Editors tells us
that he is
the Bishop of Honolulu,"
but as we have fifteen or twenty Bishops (sco Acts 20:17, 28,) in Honolulu,
that does not help us much. Hence we
are compelled to accept this title as a
norn dc plume. But it is not the identity
of the persons engaged, so much as the
bit of difference" between them which
interests us.
As near as we can understand it, it Is
a question of breath, or narrowness. Our
friends, the Editors, in their June number, seized the rubber band of Anglicanism, set their feet together and by vigorous pulling made it look quite broad.
But even this rather forced enlargement
of the Anglican clastic ecclesiastical circle looked too small to their anonymous
correspondent. And so, in the July

And then The A. C. C.'s anonymous
correspondent takes up the important
matter of ministerial dress, upon which,
in his opinion The Chronicle was not
"broad" enough. He claims boldly that
in the matter of church-millinery there
are no "sealed patterns, after which each

Honolulu grow very tropical, and that
speedily? Would "Alfred Honolulu"

from the great question of ministerial
dress to say:

which every one must be cut down, or stretobed
according as he should be found too tall or too
short; a system which aims at moulding all within

—is the most tolerant, liberal, and comprehensive
branch of the Church Catholic
Perhaps ! In the matter of belief, the
Anglican Church is "broad"—so "broad"
that it is a serious question whether her
liberty does not degenerate into looseness.
But in all other things U she dyes not
build a "Procrustean bed" what church
does? Mr. Machonochie, in England, by
exercising his "liberty" in one direction,
and Mr. Cheney, in America, by exercising his in another, learned how
"broad" the "Procrustean bed" is.
And so does every "priest" who Jares
exercise the liberty in worshipping God
which the New Testament grants to
every redeemed soul, dare a "priest"
of the "broad," "liberal," "tolerant,"
church deviate one iota from her
prescribed forms ? Suppose some great
calamity, or some other Providence
of God, has touched all hearts in the
community: Dare the "priest" standing at the altar of the broad church
deviate one single word from the set
service? Dare he read a comforting
passage from God's word other than the
lesson of the day, or voice in prayer the
thought and petition in every heart?
No, not until some "lord-bishop" has
been pleased to dictate to him the form
of words lie may use; and if there is no
such functionary at hand, he must stand
there before his people dumb, without
one particle of liberty.
And "most tolerant, liberal!'' John
Bunyan and the Pilgrim Fathers did not
find the Anglican church very tolerant.
We shall be told, of course, that that
was an intolerantage, and that the Anglican church simply was no better and tin
worse than all others at that time. But
the church which to-day arrogantly
claims that it is "the only church,"
and all others are "sects;" which denies
the validity of all ordinations except
her own and refuses the title of clergyman to all ministers of the Gospel
except her owu "priests;" which claims
that her houses of worship alone are
churches while all others are only "meeting-house," or "chapels;" which intimates, if she does not openly claim, that
through her baptismal-regeneration and
church-door lies the way of salvation, may
perhaps, be the "most liberal and toler.
ant" of all churches, but we should choose
quite different words to characterize her
spirit.
We believe, brethren, that your church
has a work to do in this Kingdom. We
rejoice in all its successes. But when we
come to talk about .'breadth" and toleration facts are stubborn things. Instead of
magnifying churches, and organizations,
would it not be a more excellent way to
magnify Christ? The thousands in Hawaii
lying underthe curse and doom of sin,care
little whether our churches are broad or
narrow: they do care for the bread of
life. Shall we not be anxious to excel in
"
"
zeal in giving this to Hawaii ? Then
that church which does this most effectually will have no need to be anxious
for fear its merits will not be known.
BEER DRINKING AND HEALTH.
Perhaps there is no fallacy more widely believed, and more specious, than
that beer drinking is conducive to health.
Beer drinking gives added weight of
flesh, and the appearance of robust
health. And yet U' is i air and promising exterior is invariably the cover of
weakness, which sooner or later succumbs at the touch of disease, or added
strain. On this point, Col. Green, President of the Connecticut Mutual Life
Insurance Co., bears the following significant testimony, which scores of men in
Honolulu,
who. never are the worse
for liquor," would do well to cut out and
paste inside their hats :
"
In one of our largest cities, containing a great
population of beer-drinkers, I had occasion to
note the deaths among a large group of persons,
whose habits in their own eyes, or in Ihe eyes of
their friends and physicians, were temperate: but
they wero habitual users of beer. When I began,
they were on the average, something under middle
age, and they were, of course, selected lives. For
two or three years nothing remarkable was to be
noted. Hut presently death began to strike the
group, and until it bad dwindled to a fraction the
mortality was astounding in extent, and still more
remarkable in tbe manifest identity of cause ami

Blessed is that Christian : he shall not
lose his reward. And blessed is that
Church which has a large corps of such.
And those who do leave home for a
time need this type of religion. Our
advice to every one is: If possible take a
vacation, but take your religion with
you. We have known people, of whom
the Church had a right to expect better
things, leave their religion at home when
they started on a vacation. Take a religion with you which will enable you to
keep the Sabbath holy; which will make
you unselfish and mindful of the rights of
others; which will make you keen-eyed
to see opportunities to do good, so that it
may be true of you, as it was of Christ,
that "as He journeyed He taught;"
which will lead you to the house of God,
on the Sabbath, and the prayer-circle on
Wednesday evenings; and, even though
you may be among strangers, make you
enter heartily into the religious life of
the place, so that the little handful of
Christians in some out-of-the-way place
may during all the rest of the year have
occasion to kindly remember "the stranger which tarried in their gates;"—in a
word take conscience with you for a
traveling companion on your vacation,
and you will return not only strengthened
in body, but in soul also.

Yes. Very true, and very well put.
But what about the smoke from the omnipresent cigars and pipes ? The smoke
is taken into the smoker's mouth, and is
then puffed out into the air, and often
into they ry faces of other people.
These unfortunates have no choice in the
matter; they must take into their nostrils
and langs that which has been in the
omnipresent smoker's mouth. Has any
man a right, for the sake of gratifying
an acquired appetite, to force clean, decent people to fill their lungs with smoke
which lie has just ejected fromhis mouth?
We agree with The Nation in all that it
says about "excessive salivation." But
the nuisance of smoke-poisoned air, which
clean i>eople are compelled to endure in
all public places is still worse. Clean
people can avoid the snail-like trail of
salivation which the average smoker
leaves behind him, and by care can keep
their clothing and persons from defilement, but how can they keep their nostrils and lungs from defilement? The
smoker would be insulted were he offered
a glass of water a mouthful of which hud
been returned to the glass after having
been in some one else's mouth, and yet
when he puffs his cigar along the street,
or in a public place, he compels other
people to take into their lungs that which
he has just ejected from his (clean?)
mouth.
We would not sit in judgment upon
smokers. We would not question the
the right of any one to use tobacco. But
we do hold that no one has the shadow
of a right to use it in public. A gentleman respects the comfort and rights of
others, and one of the rights of every
clean person is the right to breathe pure,
unpoisoned air.
Smoke if you will, but be unselfish
and a gentleman, and do it in private.
BENJAMIN HALE AUSTIN.
Hawaii has met an irreparable loss in
the death of Judge Benjamin Hale
Austin. In his high office so strict was
his integrity, so high his standard of
duty, so colorless and utterly impartial
were his rulings, that even the most bitterly disappointed litigant never dreamed
of questioning his motives. As a citizen
he was unselfish, and always a warm supporter of that public policy which he believed to be right, and which he thought
would result in the "greatest good to the
greatest number." As a husband and
father he was kind, loving, thoughtful.
As a friend he was genuine, and he fastened others "to his soul with hoops of
steel." As a Christian he was sincere,
looking up to God with that implicit confidence and love with which a child looks
to his father. His charity was unfailing,
and his bright smiling face and clear
kindling eye was but the mirror of the
strong, pure, loving soul within. His
memory will abide in Hawaii an inspiration to noble and pure and unselfish
living.

VACATION NOTES.
Volcano Housk, July 20, 1885.
Early in Juno we received a very cordial invitation from the Rev. Mr. Jordan to pay him and his family a visit on
our way to the Volcano. It was accepted with pleasure and we agreed, nothing
preventing, to make our trip the following month. We left Honolulu on Tuesday, July 7th, by the Kinau of the
Wilder's Steamship Company, arriving
the next morning at Mahukona, where
we enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Wight's hospitality at their home till the departure
of our train, which brought us at noon
in good condition at Kohala. Mr. antl
Mrs. Jordan and their little daughter
were at the station to welcome us, and
when we reached the parsonage we were
made to feel at home at once. During
our stay there of nearly a week every
thing was done to make our visit pleasant
and one long to be remembered.
It was a genuine pleasure to meet
Father Bond. Our first introduction to
him was at the large native church,
where a quarterly church meeting was in
progress at the time. He presented us
to the native brethren and after exchanging greetings we expressed our gratification at finding them engaged in the work
of the Lord. On Friday morning Father
Bond placed a model pair of horses at
our disposal for a trip to Polalu Valley.
The ride is one of about six miles
through as many gulches, but on reaching the valley one is abundantly rewarded by the wonderful beauty of the scene
that greets the eye. From the high
point of observation on which we were
standing we gazed at the charming,
lovely landscape below, and it took some
moments to realize that this glorious

During our brief stay we took tea
with them at their pleasantly situatetl
home. For the last seven years Mr.
Dyer has been the efficient and acceptable principal of the schools at Kohala.
During this time they have alsobeen devoted and able helpers in the native and
foreign churches. We received tokens
of kindness from individuals and families.
Horses and conveyances were cheerfully
placed at our disposal. The days, which
passed rapidly, were full of enjoyment
and rest.

Pastor Jordan
preached an appropriate and effectivo sermon on
The mission of Christ to save

administered. The hoar spent together
was profitable and helpful. The writer
preached in the evening and Miss Alice
Kenton assisted the choir by beautifully
rendering a solo entitled "Nazareth."
Brother Jordan bus reason to be greatly
encouraged in his work. According to
the testimony of Father Bond and others
the attendance at church services is larger
than it has ever lieen before. A line
field of work presents itself. There are
those who have not yet decided for
Christ, but who through the Gospel may
be brought in. There-are also a considerable number of Japanese and Portuguese.
The christians at Kohala are debtors to
these people to lead them to the know I

this direction. The Chinese church is
doing well. The pastor, Kong Tet Ying,
is bold in much esteem. Mi.-s Moiiross
and Miss Turner are efficient helpers in
tho Sunday school.
On Tuesday we spent a good portion of
the day most pleasantly with Mr. James
Ronton and family. Here we had the
pleasure to form the acquaintance of Dr.
and Mrs. Wight. After an elegant luncheon Mr. Renton kindly took us through

HAWAIIAN H.BOARD
AN EMPTY MANTLE.
When Secretary and Missionary Editor
Forbes was granted his well-earned three
months vacation, the Hawaiian Board
tried to fit his editorial mantle upon several brethren; first they tried it
upon Rev. H. Bingham, but as Mr. Forbes
is only about 5 feet (i inches tall, while
Mr. Bingham rejoices in his (J feet 4, it
was at once evident that the mantle was
too short for a good fit. Then the Board
tried to stretch the garment over the
broad shoulders of Rev. S. E. Bishop,
but an ominous tearing of the fabric
warned them to desist. Then, taking
advantage of bis absence in Hilo, the
wise Hoard voted that the
should be forced over the already overburdened shoulders of Dr. Hyde. What
is the old adage about it being " Easy
enough to lead a horse to water, but not
so easy to make him drink"? Well, so
it has proved in this ease. Dr. Hyde
won't don that mantle! And so we have
stuffed it with straw, fastened the dummy
in the hardest-bottomed chair in our
sanctum, put before it a file of papers,
tied a pair of scissors to the end of one
sleeve and a paste-pot to the other, and
lo! as a result the following page of matter!
If this experiment continues to work
satisfactorily we may decide to fill all our
editorial chairs with dummies.
HAWAIIAN LITERATURE.
One great lack in the religious growth
and culture of the llawaiians is a varied
and healthful literature. Aside from the
bible alxait the only literature (?) Which
enters the home of the Hawaiian is the
native newspaper, and with one or two
exceptions, so far as religious growth aud
culture are concerned, the papers are a
detriment. Our duty as a-member of a
committee led us the other day to an examination .if the stock of books kept on
sale by the Hawaiian Hoard. We found
among others the following in Hawaiian:

SECTARIANISM.
A sectarian is apartizan. He is a man
whose
to externals and nonessentiOTS is stronger than his attachment
to the truth. He is a man who forgets
the interests of truth in his absorbing zeal
for the interests of his party or sect. He
is a man who will "compass sea and land
to make one proselyte." The Pharisees
were sectarians. The Jesuits and Mormon propogandists are sectarians. Every
Christian missionary who seeks to rally
men about the standard of party rather
than about the standard of truth, is a
sectarian. It is not a savory name. Its
declension is pharisee (i.e. sectarian),
hypocrite!
But all religious teachers are not sectarians. John was not, Jesus was not, Paul
was not. The Jews were not all Pharisees, Catholics are not all Jesuits. Religious teachers in the main care more for
truth than party. There is a common
ground on which men of very diverse
creeds can meet and join harmoniously
in practical religious instruction. The
man who doubts the being of God, and
the existence of sin, and the need of salvation, and thepower of Jesus, the Christ,
to save from sin, is the exception and not
the rule. And the man who cannot teach
these fundamentals of our Christian religion without unfurling, his party's banner, be he Catholic or be he Protestant,
is not a man fit to instruct the young in
any morals whatsoever.
The point we make is, that religious
instruction in schools is practicable here
in Hawaii. The pressure of heathen morality is heavier every year. The heathenism of Eastern Asia is stalking into
our school-rooms. If Anglo-Saxon civilization has anything in it that lifts it
above Asiatic and South Sea Island civilzation, it is its Christianity. Hawaii nei,
as against all other creeds, is a Christian
nation. The morality tiught in its schools
must be a Christian morality. It must
be based on the Bible. It must be
grounded in respect for God's truth, and
in reverence for God's character. It must
be definitely Christian, and it can be so
without being sectarian. It was not sectarianism that brought England up out of
heathenism. And sectarianism can do
nothing to rescue this outpost of civilzation from the merciless heathen morality
that is restlessly moving toward our
shores from the West. We are a Christian people, with Christian institutions
and Christian standards, and our schools
should be Christian schools. The policy
that abandons such a position as this will
prove a disastrous one to the schools and
the country alike.

—Every moral code that commands
and secures obedience among men, derives its highest and most restraining
authority from religion. What is needed
in the moral training of the young is the
making of tho conscience regal by the
proper use of the sanctions and authority
of religion. There is a practical mean in
the public school between godless moral
training and technical religious Instruction.—E. E. White, L. L. D.
—TheLondon School Board deals with
800,000 children. In the last three years
its Vice-President, the chief executive
officer of the Board, Mr. Mundella, has
had but one complaint, viz., that of a
father who wished his children withdrawn from religious instruction, a request not granted because the mother
persisted in wishing her children to receive such instruction. And yet it is
the rule of the Board, That the Bible
shall bo read, and there shall be given
such explanations, and such instructions
therefrom, in the principles of morality
and religion as are suited to the capacity
of children ; provided that no attempt
be made in any such schools to attach
children to any particular denomination."
The world's metropolis in this matter sets
an example that might well be imitated
in many another city.
—Since the passage of the famous
"conscience clause" of 1870, a distinct
-revolution in public sentimont lias taken
place in England relative to moral instruction in the schools. There are now
4,273,000 children receiving religious instruction in the schools of Great Britain,
against 1,093,000 in 1870. At Birmingham a very determined effort to secularize the schools was for a time successful,
"but public sentiment experienced a
reaction ; the policy was set aside, and
to-day unsectarian religious instruction
is given in all her Board schools." The
English system favors religious instruction not sectarian, with perfect toleration to all creeds. The American system rules out religious instruction, and
so emasculates its moral training out
of dread of the cry of sectarianism. The
English system is definitely Christian,
and so aligns itself with the highest civilization ; the American system at best is
only apologetically Christian.

The Pioneers of the Southwest" is the first of two historical papers
by Edmund Kirke. An article, by J.
Bunting, on the late Joseph J. Mlckley,
the well-known collector of coins, autographs, and rarities of many kinds, and
a man of singular simplicity and charm
of mind, will interest readers of kindred
tastes and pursuits, while those who like
sea sports and a dash of adventure will
find attraction in "The White Whalers,"
by C. F. Holder. Miss Thicker* Aurora
is brought to a satisfactory conclusion in this number, which also
contains some capital short stories and
anecdotal papers.

IS CHRISTIANITY DECLINING.
Rev. Dr. C. H. Parkhurst, in tho July
number of The North American Review,
has one of the brightest, keenest articles
on the alleged decline of Christianity
which we have read in many a day. In regard to the present loud-mouthed "assurance of unfaith," Dr. Parkhurst shows
that it is no new thing. He says :
In the North American Review of
December, 1879, Froude says, "Protestantism has failed." In the Atlantic
Monthly of an earlier date Goldwin
Smith writes, Belief in Christianity as
a revealed and supernatural religion has
given way." In 1808 Dr. Ewer issued a
book entitled Protestantism a failure."
Buckle in his History of Civilization In
England," claimed that Protestantism
had seen its best days.
In the times of
Aaron Burr," says Parton, it was confidently predicted that Christianity could
not survive two more generations." Of
the same period another writer states
that Wild and vague expectations were
everywhere
especially
entertained,
among the young, of a new order of
things about to commence, in which
Christianity would bo laid aside as an
obsolete system." Considerably more
Bethan a century ago Voltaire said,
fore the beginning of the 19th century
Christianity will have disappeared from
the earth."It is an instructivecoincidence
that the room in which Voltaire uttered
these words has since been used as a
Bible repository. "They came unto the
sepulchre bringing the spices which they
had prepared, and they entered In and
found not the body of the Lord Jesus."
And it is still so ; a redundancy of ointment, but no corpse.
Dr. Parkhurst calls attention to an oftforgotten fact that in measuring the progress of Christianity we must take into
account the force of resistance which it
meets. Whatever Christianity has done
or is doing, it is doing it all in the
teeth of spontaneous impulse. Every
inch that Christianity has gained or may
still be gaining, it has gained in a square
fight." Dr. Parkhurst confines his review of facts to America, and calls attention to two special hindrances to the pro-

gress of Christianity there, viz: 1. The
intellectual and spirtual independence of
her people ; 2. The vast foreign immigration—eight millions in the last 30
years—a large proportion of which, is anti-Protestant, anti-temperance, anti-Subbath, anti-Bible." Dr. Parkhurst then
says :
And now as to the actual tokens which
Christianity is at present giving of its
own vigor.
going
As to any suspicion that
forward in society a process of moral deterioration, such suspicion is* historically
unfounded and is explicable on three
grounds: the avidity of newspapers,
which stand in electric connection with
the remotest quarters of the country and
make a point of giving largest prominence to whatever will satisfy an appetite
for the sensational; meager acquaintance
with the moral condition of society fifty,
a hundred, or a thousand years ago ; and
an elevated moral sentiment that takes
offense now at what in time past would
have been accounted as tolerable or even
unexceptionable. Writing of a period a
hundred years back, a recent contributor
to JUackwootVs Magazine says:
"It
was an age when delicate young women
of the best blood and best manners in the
land talked with a coarseness which editors of the nineteenth century can represent only by asterisks."
It is part
of the history of the old church at Andover, Mass., that the chief causes of discipline for 125 years were fornication and
drunkenness. Theodore Parker, writing
in regard to the fathers of New England
says, It is easier to praise them for virtues they did not possess than to judge
them with fairness and discrimination."
As illustrating the coarse intemperance
of the times among Christian" people, he
states that it is recorded in the probate
office that in 1078, at the funeral of tho
widow of John Norton, one of the ministers of the First Church, in Boston, abovo
fifty gallons of wines were consumed by
the mourners. Just two hundred years
ago at the funeral of the pastor of tho
church at Ipswich, Mass., there was consumed one barrel of wine and two barrels
of cider." If this occurred at the funeral
of an old and loved pastor, we can infer
what excesses would be habitual on occasions less stated and solemn. In a historical survey of the Congregational
churches of one of the New England
Not very far
States, it is related that
from the period of the Revolution,
several councils were held in one of the
towns where the people were trying to
get rid of a minister who was. often the
worse for liquor, even in the pulpit, and
once at least at the communion table!
but some of the neighboring ministers
stood by him, and the people had to endure him till death." This reminds me
of the case of one who not above fifty
years ago was deacon of a prominent
church in western Massachusetts, who
had habitually a drunken spree as an
after-effect of tasting the wine at the sacrament, but whose irregularities were
