Gladstone, it is said, has always boon a

now in his advanced years he is able to
moot the most complicated political situations. With beneficent intent the
weekly day of rest was founded by the
Creator in the constitution of man and

day shall lie kept. We would also call
attention, as we have done before In

pect of this day which we would encourage," says Dr. Hamilton, is not that of
sternness, of morbid sensitiveness, of
crouching will-worship, but that of settled, solemn stillness. One wortl would
interpret all we desire, as best agreeing
to it, without and within—serenity.
We rejoice when it breaks in elemental
pence, with balmy breath and cloudless
beauty. We rejoice when it departs
with tin,' tranquility of a sunset which is
disturbed by no angry blast or tempest

tumult of the people stills. The collisions of life no longer chafe. The dizzy
wheels of society stop. City and village,
temple and home, lie bathed in an unearthly calm."
The day is one for worship. Man is
not a brute. He has a spiritual as well
us a physical nature. He is Ood's offspring and is not for this world ouly, but
the possibilities have been placed within
his reach for happiness and advancement
in another and higher sphere, ami the
holy time should be tilled with thoughts
of God and- immortality, Thus set apart
for God and the contemplation of our
higher needs the day will carry its influence onward and shed a blessing on all
days and time and fit us for the enjoyment of that heavenly life of which the
day of rest here is a type.
"
HOLY TIME.
Our American exchanges tell cf steady
progress in non-observance of the christian sabbath; of an increasing violation of
the day on the part of business men,
railroad officials and politicians, which
leads the christian people of the land to
fear, that, unless this aggressive foe be
arrested and overcome, the day which
<« was made for man"—for the furtherance of his best interests, temporal and
immortal —may be turned from its beneficent design of rest and worship into
one of traffic and travel, gaiety and dissipation.
It is apparent to every reflecting mind
that were this day stricken from the calendar of days, the fair fabric of civil and
religious liberty which has been our
glory and joy would not only be seriously
imperiled, but the pillars would ere long
tremble and the temple fall. To give up
the sabbath would be putting the knife
to the throat of that which gives dignity
and stability to society. It would be
going back to barbarism. No nation can
look for endurance and prosperity except
through the recognition of God in the
day he has instituted. Every community or land thathas thrived and become
a center of power and ol beneficence to
others must attribute it to the healthful
and uplifting influences of the sabbath,
and the prosperity of the people has been
in proportion as the observance of the
day has been carried out. The keeping
of it has carried the choicest blessings to
the individual, the family, the nation
and the world at large. There is hardly
a question in political economy or concerning tho home life that is not identified with the keeping of the day. The
sa"bbath is God's best boon to all classes
of men, because ail need it. The so-called lalioring class, or those who work
with their hands, must have their weekly rest day. As the lamp must be supplied with oil -o man's physical nature

MUST THE WHITE MAN GO?
There are two sides to the Chiuese
question.
Ten yours ago when we went from
hoston to the Pacific Coast, like all other
"wise men from the East," wo were
very certain that there was but one side
to the question, and that we knew all
about it: (Tie Chinese should be allowed
to come to "free America" as they
pleased, like all other nationalities; they
were peaceable, industrious, law-abiding,
and a valuable addition to the working
force of any nation. And we embodied
our wisdom in a sermon very speedily,
and inflicted it upon a surprised and decidedly unappreciative audience in PortYou will know more
land, Oregon.
about this Chinese question in a few
years," said one of my hearers next day.
"1 should not be surprised if your views
changed somewhat."
And he was right. We still keep that
sermon as a curiosity.
Five years' residence on the Pacific
Coast taught us this fact: iVo nation can
afford to have its white mechanics and
iciirk'imj-iaen brought into competition
with the Chinese.
Such is the ease in Hawaii, and she is
paying the penalty: her white smalltradesmen, mechanics and working-men
are steadily, remorselessly being driven
out of the kingdom. It is only a question of time when of these classes all
who remain will be a few master-,
mechanics.
Walk through the Chinese quarter and
you will rind every line of trade (except
hart I ware and agricultural implements)
and every line of mechanism represented.
Take a few sample cases of the competition to which our white mechanics are
subjected : A wise woman in this land
of moths and cockroaches had a large
white cedar box made; properly upholstered it serves the double purpose of
a lounge and a receptacle for clothing.
A Chinaman made the box for $10. A
friend desiring one like it ordered it
from a white carpenter; it cost $20.
Carriage painting la tirst-class white
shops costs from $25 to $30 ; the Chinese
painter charges from $15 to $18. A
gentleman wished a light business coat:
his white tailor did not have the kind of
goods he wanted; passing through the
Chinese quarter he saw just what he
wanted, asked for a sample of the goods
and the price of a coat: "Nine dollars."
The gentleman took the sample of goods
to his tailor: "Here is the kind of
goods I want: what will a coat from it
cost?" "Eighteen dollars." An old
house was to be remodeled : the lowest
bid from white contractors was $2700. A
Chinese contractor did the work for
$1700!
When asked how he could
afford to do it so low he replied: "If
we make a dollar a day we are satisfied."
We could multiply such instances.
"
4
THE FRIEND.
The Chinese mechanic can live on a
dollar a day, yes, on fifty cents a day,
and "fare sumptuously." No white
mechanic can live on such wages; his
actual expenses for room and board will
amount to a dollar per day.
We cannot afford to have our white
mechanics live as the Chlnese.do. Civilization and religion both forbid it
Brought in competition with cheap Chinese labor, marriage, and a home, and a
family Is an impossibility to the mechanic
and working-man. Such a. state of
things means immorality and utter de-
moralization.
Without touching the political, and
economic, and sanitary sides of the question, from moral and religious reasons
alone we say that no nation can afford to
have its white mechanics and workingmen orought into competition with the
Chinese.
Who will suggest a remedy ? Hoodluinisin certainly is not a remedy and
is a disgrace to civilization. Class or
race legislation seems unjust, and in
America has largely failed to accomplish
its object We confess that we are in doubt
as to the best course for this government
to pursue. But that something should be
done to retain in Hawaii the remnant of
white mechanics and working men which
is still here, all admit, for there is no
more valuable element of our population.
The white man has gone, and is going.
Must he continue to go ?
"BISHOPS" AND "ELDERS."
Some wise advocates of the extrascriptural system of church government
which requires three orders in its ministry, and which squarely In the face of
the divine prohibition, gives its "Bishops" "lordship" over the church, admit
that this is not "the essential divine
order;" in other words, that while it has
rfo scriptural authority they claim that
it is expedient and best. With such we
have no controversy ; it is their privilege, if they choose, to use that system of
church government. Hut some "otherwise" advocates claim that this so-called
order is scriptural, and of divine authority, and that "a church cannot be constituted" without it. With them we
join issue. For it is a plain but not verybroad or liberal assertion that for years
after Christianity was introduced into
Hawaii there was no such a thing as a
church; and that now the only churches
in this Kingdom are the Catholic and
Anglican ; all other Christians are unchurched, their ministers un-ordained,
and their ordinances invalid !
It is admitted that the words Hishop
{epUcopos) and Elder (presbuteros) "were
originally synonymous." The "burden
of proof" rests with those who hold that
they come to mean something different,
An attempt to do this is made. We are
told,
the Apostles exercised
authority over the churches ; that they
"appointed Matthias to the vacant place"
in the A postulate, and that they up
pointed aud ordained deacons." No one

The liook of Acts tells us that the whole
body oj belierors chose Matthias "by lot,"
or vote ; and
the whole multitude * *
chose"
the
first
seven deacons. (Sec*Acts i: 15-21); andvi:
1-7). The Apostles simply inducted into office those
whom the whole body of the church had
chosen. The Aposlles even did not exercise lordship, as do our modern bishops. They were missionaries who "went
everywhere preaching the word," and
organising believers into local, self-governing churches.
2nd. Again we are told that the
Apostles were succeeded by bishops, in
the modern sense of that word, and that
Timothy and Titus, and Epaphroditus
were among the first. But on what evidence ? We are told that Paul "appointed Epaphroditus to be his successor"
as Bishop of Philippi, because, forsooth, the church in Philippi had chosen
him as their messenger (Greek, apostolus) to carry a contribution to Paul in
Home ! What right had Paul to appoint
him? Paul tells us (Phil, ii: 26-80)
that he sent him back to Philippi, not as
his successor, but because he had been
very sick, and because "he longed after
you all." In other words, Epaphroditus
was home-sick, and so Paul sent him
back hotne. And on this home-sick
helper of l'aul's some would try to build
the fabric of modern Episcopacy !
Again we are told that Paul
"

in order the things that were wanting' ( fit. 1.5).

plete.
But that he made Titus a diocesan bishop
is squarely contradicted by this very epistle, for In the third chapter Titus is told
that bis work there is only temporary,
that be is to rejoin Paul "before winter,"
and that he (Paul) will send Artemas, or
Tychicus, to relieve him —a rather highhanded and summary proceeding that
to supercede and remove a lord-bishop
from his diocese!
It is amazing with what cool assumption Timothy is transformed from a helper
Bishop of Fphesus."
of Paul's into the
Paul says (1 Tim. i : .'J, 4) that be desired
Timothy to take special charge of the
Church there, not become its permanent
head, for a specified purpose. And, Timothy having accomplished that object,
Paul in liis second letter (2 Tim. iv : !))
orders him to leave Fphesus and come
to him. The Scriptures do not give us
the least bint that Timothy was ever, in
the Episcopal sense, bishop of the Church
in Ephesus.
In the scriptures the words Elder and
Bishop tire synonymous, and they denote
Dean Alford in his
but one office.
Greek Testament in his comments on 1
Tim. iii: I, correctly states the fact in
regard to the New Testament teaching,
when he says:

Those who hold that the modem office
of •' lord-bishop" has scriptural warrant
utterly fail to make out their case. On
the other hand, as we briefly showed in
a former article, there are passages of
scripture which lie squarely against any
such lordship and authority over the
Church of ('hrist. We can multiply passages of this kind, if necessary.

THE CHURCHES.
THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH.
OCTOBER—NOVKM BE 11.
The Rev. A.(). Forbes, secretary of
the Hawaiian Board, having returned in
safely and with renewed health from a
three months' vacation trip to Puget
Sound, gave a very interesting account
tit the Wednesday evening prayer meeting of his travels, including Portland,
(hregoa and the various towns alxiut the
Sound. After a graphic description of
the scenery Bro. Forbes spoke of the
evil which is rampant there in every
form, but that to counteract and overcome
it, the cause of religion is not only well
established but making noticeable progress.
After the close of the prayer-meeting
the annual meeting of the Bethel Social
Union was held to listen to reports and
to elect new officers and committees.
Mr. T. M. Henderson was elected President of the Union to serve till October,
188IJ. The names of officers and committees having kindly been printed in
full in the Daily Bulletin we may here
omit them.
On the the first Thursday evening of
the month the Church social was held at
the residence of the pastor. The time
was devoted to conversation, literary and
musical exercises and refreshments and
all who were present reported having
spent a very pleasant evening.
On the morning of Sunday, the 4th,
Mr. F. W. Damon, superintendent of
christian work among the Chinese, addressed the Sunday school on China and
the spiritual needs of the Chinese in this
community and kingdom. Mr. Damon
had brought with him a painting of Rev.
Robert Morrison, the first missionary
who in this century went from England
to China, translated the Bible and pre-
pared a dictionary for the Chinese. Also
a painting of one of the Pagodas which
are reared all through China to appease
the wrath of the gods. He also showed
the school a praying machine, being a
small round box of which they turn the
crank and turnout prayers.
Mr. Damon
said, that sometimes these machines are
so large, that it takes seven men to turn
the crank. He also showed a brick, that
he had brought with him from China, of
a wtill 1,500 miles long, built 200 years
before Christ. He said it was easy
enough to laugh at this people and call
them John Chinaman," but thatapeoplc who could build a wall like that are
worth looking after. The speaker then
pleaded eloquently, in behalf of the
Chinese cause, for a more general interest on the part of christian workers.
The school through Mr. B. F. Dillingham
gave Mr. Damon a cordial vote of thanks
for his instructive and earnest address.
The collection taken up was devoted to
christian work among the Chinese.
Tho monthly concert was well attended. The subject The North American
Indians" made the hour one of interest
and profit. Professor Bates had a map
and pointed out where the red man
dwells. Mrs. 11. A. Parinelee read a
poem on the Indian's rights and Mrs. B.
P. Dillingham contributed an able paper,
printed subsequently in full in the Fhiily
Jlit/letiii. To this we may add, that the
article "The Indian Country" by Henry
King in the August number of the Century Magazine is a valuable contribution
and deserves attention.
The teachers' meeting, at Mr. Dillingham's residence, was attended by nearly
all the officers and teachers. Arrangements were completed to provide suitable rewards for all scholars who have
been faithful in attendance on public
worship during the year.
On the evening of the 20th there was
a very pleasant gathering of the members of the Social Union at the residence
of Mr. 11. A. Parmelee. Some changes
were made in the Constitution of the
Union and a new one ordered to be
printed. Refreshments followed and at
the close the thanks of all present were
tendered to Mr. Parmelee and his family
for theirkind hospitality.
There was a collection for the foreign
work of the Hawaiian Board on Sunday,
the 25th.
The preparatory lecture was given
Wednesday evening, the 28th, for the
celebration of the Lord's Supper, November Ist.
The Young People's Friday evening
prayer meetings have the presence and
blessing of the Master. We pray and
labor for a more general attendance.
The monthly meeting of the officers
and teachers of the Sunday school will
be held on Tuesday evening, the 10th,
at the residence of Mr. Jonathan Shaw,
No. 24 School street.

Attendance on public worship during
the month has shown a marked increase,
especially at the evening services. Prof.
Yamdley's fine choir is doing excellent
work and by its rendering of the choicest sacred music adds greatly to the worship. Special effort is made to have the
choral service on Sunday evenings full,
spiritual, uplifting, and helpful. It is
the exception where bettermusic is heard
than that rendered in Fort-St. Church.
During the month of November the
following special services will lie held:
Sunday evening, Nov. Bth, at the request of the W. C. T. U., there will be a
union meeting of the Bethel and Fort-St.

cause during the past hundred years.
Thursday, Nov. 2<>th the annual
Thanksgiving service will be held.
As tho regular Communion season occurs Dec. tith, there will be special meetings of the StandingCommittee Wednesday evenings, Nov. 18th and 25th, at

He signed the pledge,
and has kept it, through some stern
struggles, faithfully ever since. He began business again in a small way, and
was asked to speak at temperance meetings. It was up-hill work, but he went
on steadily. His parents died. Before
her death his mother gave him a copy
of the autobiography and orations of
John It. Gough. Roth the manner and
substance of these orations strengthened
his resolve to abstain, and he committed
the principal ones to memory. Subsequently he delivered them from memory
to 75,00(1 people in thirteen nights in the
National Standard Theatre of London.
He continued these recitals in London
and tin- provinces, attracting great attention and doing much good. Stimulated
by his example, many young men tried
to follow it, and some are still making
these recitals with good effect in different parts of the country.

ISLAND TEXT-BOOKS. IV.
It has not been a difficult task to point
out features in our present text-books in
arithmetic and geography that render
them unsuitable for tho peculiar work of
many of our schools. Neither is it difficult to outline what would prove to be a
most useful manual in each of these
studies. A text-book in arithmetic could
be prepared, and printed here at the Islands, that would not only serve all
practical ends but would actually raise
the standardof attainment in this branch
in all our schools. And this would be
accomplished not through the loss, by
omission, of a single valuable principle,
but by a wise combination of the improvements made in recent years Ivoth in
England and America in the matter of
simplifying and condensing the treatment of the most practical departments
of this very practical study. It is important that our pupils should be well
grounded in the fundamental processes,
decimals, fractions, denominate numbers, and percentage and its applications,
including, of course, interest. Ratio and
proportion, equation of accounts, involution and evolution, partnership,exchange,
alligation, duodecimals, and the metric
system, could be profitably consigned to
an appendix according to the fashion of
some recent text-books, or what would
be better incorporated into a supplementary arithmetic. This expunging of
several very familiar divisions of our
stereotyped arithmetics would not mean
that they were of little value but that
theother divisions were of greater value.
It is important, again, that these retained divisions be very clearly and
concisely treated. Decimals and whole
numbers, as in Wentworth's Practical
Arithmetic, should be taught together.
It is easier to teach a child to notate in
both directions at the outset than it is
later on to make clear to his mind that
decimal notation is not a contradiction of
all that be has learned before. Besides
whole numbers and decimals as they occur in practical mathematics are not divorced as they are in the books. They
can be taught readily and luminously
under the same rules, a single note under
multiplication and division each being
sufficient to clear up all the legerdemain
of pointing off."
Fractions should be more succinctly
reated than is the case in most textxxiks. Compound and complex fractions
should not be allowed even a name to
ive, for the one is a simple example in
multiplication and the other in division
of fractions. Multiplication and division
of fractions should precede addition and
subtraction as is now the case in one
text-book, at least, and there should be
"
but one comprehensive rule for each.
The rule for finding the common denominator could well drop out of reduction
and fall into its natural place in the rules
for addition and subtraction.
Compound and denominate numbers
could be advantageously taught together
under each table as in Smith's Arithmetic (Cambridge, Eng.). Steady progress has been made in all recent textbooks in the treatment of percentage and
its applications. This progress has been
in the direction of simplicity and luminosity in the treatment of discount, particularly.
In no text-book are all of these improvements to be found. In many of them,
some are pronounced features. There
seems no good reason why they should
not all be incorporated into a single textbook. Such a book with mental and
written exercises combined would be
brief, so that most of our pupils would be
able to complete it, clear, so that all
would Ixs able to understand the various
processes, and practical, so that it would
prove one of the most valuable text-books
that could be put into a child's hands.
The cause of elementary education here
at the Islands is suffering from the lack
of just such a book.
SCHOOL SUPERVISION.
Has not the time come for a modification of the present system of school
supervision? There are about IGO schools
in the Kingdom that are wholly under
the control and supervision of the Government. There are over 40 independent schools each of which is in some
measure under Government supervision.
Here then is a total of 200 schools, calling for supervision, and considering the
distances that need to be traveled and
the comparative inaccessibility of some
of the schools, it is quite within bounds
to say that the supervisor can visit not
more than one school a day, on an average, and can visit each school but once
in a year. Such supervision must iv the
very nature of things be superficial.
Probably quite as much depends on
the judicious supervision of these schools
as on efficient instruction. But this
supervision cannot be undertaken in the
most profitable way by a single person.
There is need for a supervisor general,
as is now the case, but his work needs to
be supplemented in some way so that
while he is made responsible for the
quality of the supervision, he may at the
same time have valuable assistance rendered him by others. It would not be
a bad plan to have an assistant supervisor
for the large island of Hawaii with its
76 schools so widely scattered. Or it
would be a very effective way to help
and inspire teachers to have stated and
frequent gatherings of the teachers at
centrally located places for strictly normal work. The working of our educational system has not kept pace with our
development in other directions. With
but a slight comparative increase in outlay our common schools and consequently
Volume 43, No. 11
our higher schools could enhance their
efficiency in a marked degree. It is no
part of the supervisor's work as at present conducted to hold teachers' meetings. It is not difficult to see how the
personal presence of a competent super-
visor at such meetings would advance
the cause of English primary instruction
among us. We trust that the Board of
Education will see the need of re-vitalizing present methods of supervision.
There are some very positive evils connected with things as they are, and there
is no excuse for their continuance.
—The very steady increase in attendance in all our higher schools is a hopeful indication. For it not only shows
that our youth are appreciating better
the advantages of an education, but it
likewise shows-that the schools of lower
grade are making commendable progress
in imparting English instruction.
—" The use of tobacco is to be absolutely prohibited in all the government
schools in France, on the ground that it
affects injuriously the ability to study.
The regulation is based on the recommendation of a commission of men of
science, and meets with general approval."
—The successful teacher is the one
who gives an onward impulse to the
whole school. The successful school is
the one in which progressive work is
being done In all the grades. Too often
superficial observers are loud in their
praises of a teacher who can deftly exhibit a few advanced pupils possibly in a
single study ; and they call such a school
successful when the very attention given
to a few pupils of promise has resulted in
making the school almost a failure in the
quality of work done by the school as a
whole.
.
—It is not often that a truth is more
tersely put than this, from The Spring-,
field Republican
:
This is not the age of the decadence of Christianity, and it is amazing that even an lngersoll
can entertain the notion that the nails are being
driven into its coffin, at a time whose intense activity in missionary work at home and abroad exceeds everything ever known before in the world.
Steadily for the past ten years this activity baa
been increasing in this country. All over the land
multiply organizations of practical workers ; society after society is organized for some special and
detiuite purpose, or for the general purpose of
strengthening mutual faith and fervor. The sceptics may drive the nail home as fast as they like
and bury the coffin, but it will be an empty chest,
or more likely infidelity itself will fill it. Hainan

—Rev. Dr. Stratton of Natchez,
Miss., in a manual for Church Members
recently published, has these comments
on worldly amusements :
The radical difference between the Christian and
the votary of these worldly amusements appears
in this—there can be no reciprocity in their enjoyments. In his associat.on with the worldly man
in his amusements, the Christian makes a con;
cession winch the worldly man will not reciprocate.
I'he former is expected to affiliate with the latter,
hut the latter never affiliates with the former. No
one would dream of seeing a frequenter of a theater or of the race-course goinu with the Christian
neighbor whom be had been inducing to aocompany him to those places of amusement, to attend
the prayer meeting or the religious assembly,
which the Christian is supposed to love.

THE RECEPTION.
The reception given to the officers and
crew of 11. B. M. S. Satellite on Friday
evening, Oct. 9th, was perhaps the rhost
successful and profitable entertainment
given by the Association.
A well selected programme of readings, vocal and instrumental music was
admirably rendered. Three brief speeches
were interspersed at proper intervals,
after which the entire company were
served with ice cream and cake, provided
by the British Vice-Consul, who is
Chairman of our Entertainment Committee, and the President of the Association.
Next in order followed responses from
the guests of the evening, which consisted in heartily expressed thanks, and
two songs, in one of which the crew
joined vigorously in the chorus. One of
the speakers said "ho had been nearly
all over the world, but he had never met
with anything to excel the reception
and entertainment of the present occasion." In closing, at the suggestion of
the Chairman, all present rose and joined
heartily in singing "God Save the
Queen," Which Was followed by"Auld
Liang Syne." "Three cheers for our
Honolulu friends
were then proposed
and enthusiastically given by the sailors,
as with smiling faces they took their departure, feeling they had enjoyed a
good time" of the sort that brings only
sunshine and pleasure in the subsequent
hour of quiet reflection.

CLASSES.
The Singing Class under the efficient
eadership of Prof. Yarndley promises to
lecome a valuable help to our general
work. The members attending this
class will be the better qualified to assist
n our public meetings, and perhaps later
they will be able to give a concert in the
course of entertainments.
We should be glad to welcome a few
more ladies to the cla>s, especially those
singing tenor.
The class in Book-keeping was re-organized the first Monday evening in October. Several of the former scholars
graduated from the class at its close before vacation, but a sufficient number of
the new members of the Association have
joined to form a large and interesting
class.
Mr. P. C. Jones, an Ex-President of
the Association, organized the first class
over two years ago, and has continued
its constant and faithful teacher every
Monday evening since when at home,
except during a short vacation last summer.
A class in Geometry was formed
Oct. 10th to meet every subsequent Friday evening at 7.30 o'clock. Mr. H. W.
Laws of the Government Survey Office,
a young man of superior ability, und one
of our recently elected members, has
kindly consented to teach the class.
The only requisite to join one or all of
the above classes is a membership ticket
in the Association,and a pledge to regular
attendance. Young ladies are admitted
to the singing class free of charge.
YOUNG MEN.
During the past month there has been
a very noticeable increase of young men
among the numbers who have patronized our building. Of course the conspicuous Welcome" at the front entrance indicates that our doors are open
to all. Yet there is a particular pleasure
in seeing the young men turn away from
the questionable places and forms of
amusement to put themselves under influences that are pure, and that will give
an up-lift to all their better aspirations.
Such an institution is the Young Men's
Christian Association.
An interesting variety of reading matter can always be found in the Reading
Room, and surely no pleasanter spot can
be found for social diversion than our attractive Parlors—beautifully furnished,
well lighted, delightfully cool, and provided with al the principal parlor games.
Young men, remember they are yours,
to use and enjoy.
"
IN THE SHADOW.
We frequently meet young men who
appear to be so sadly out of harmony
with all their social surroundings that
one is led to believe the lens of their
little telescope must be strongly tinged
with blue, and that the range of their
observation is chiefly along the shady
side of life.
Because of an imaginary slight, or a
fancied failure, on the part of superiors
to appreciate their valuable qualities
they have become soured and censorious.
The young man who makes the laudations of men the goal of his endeavor
will find sooner or later that he is following simply the Mirage of the desert,
—in another form, it is true but none the
more satisfactory in results. My young
friend, apply all your God-given energies to develop those qualities in life that
will make you useful rather than ornamental.
Worth will be discovered, and its
possessor will be invited to the front in
due time.
Character will take the prize. "Chromos strike the sight, but merit wins the
soul."
FOOD FOR MEDITATION.
Mrs. Clara Hoffman, President of the
Missouri W. C. T. U. in a recent address
in lowa, said,—" From the report of the
Commissioner for Internal Revenue for
1883, I have learned that the amount of
tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, liquor, and
beer consumed iv our Republic each year,
gives each of our sovereign voters 3J
pounds of smoking tobacco, 10 pounds of
chewing tobacco, 250 cigars, 6 gallons of
"
"
whiskey, 33 gallons of beer, besides 10
gallons to each woman and child. Happy voters ! Happy country 1
"Then, that there shall be no falling
off of patronage, and that the rising
generation should be well and fully prepared for coming citizenship, there were
consumed 100 cigarettes for every one of
the children between 10 and 21 years of
age.
"Then millions of pounds and millions
of gallons of ".comfort" were furnished
by our Christian Republic to other peoples not as favored, Christian and cultured as we."
There is much in the above that can
bo applied to these beautiful islands so
wonderfully blessed by God, but so sadly
cursed by whisky.
As individual christians and as an Association we have an important work to
do along this line. "Rescue the perishing." Protect the innocent.
"GOD BLESS THE Y. M. C. A."
The following lines were written expressly for this page of Tiik Friend, by
Mrs. M. F. Greenleaf, a Ixdoved Christian friend, in our old home, Lowell,
Mass.
God bless the V..M. C. A. of onr land,
God bless them everywhere;
In the Isle of the sea, the spot He has given
Like the Eden of old so fair.
May the influence carried abroad so far,
By young men, from the east and west.
Gather in a harvest for him each year,
Of those by bis love redrest.
We're praying for you here in New England,
And when in communion with Him,
We pray that if dark may seem the way,
Your faith may never grow dim.
And when here your mission-work is done
Antl you lay your armor down—
May the Y. M. C. A. of christian lands,
Receive a star-decked crown.

Some of our Honolulu young men will
do well to discontinue their practice in

there's no money or real pleasure in the

with, and besides the subscriptions in
money, the rulers gave a considerable
portion of the stone, lime and timber for
the building. The stone was cut from
the coral flats, in front of the town. Tho
lime was obtained by burning the coral.
The timber was brought largely from the
forests back of Honolulu, and some from
California and Oregon. The shingles
came from Oregon ; boards, nails, glass,
sashes, and lamps from Boston. The
tower clock was presented by James
lluiinewcll, Esq., of Boston. The length
of the building is 144, and the width 78 ft.
The whole basement story is excavated
down to the coral rock, and the foundation walls are laid on that rock. Tho
basement walls are 44 inches thick and
about 12 feet high. The corner stono

under his direction. Beneath this stone
were placed a copy of die Hawaiian Bible,
a volume of Mathematics and one on Anatomy, both in Hawaiian, anil a brass
plate on which was inscribed the date,

tance to the edification and proper activity of Christian
believers. There
must be a visible and organized church,
and a special and definite constitution
thereof. I have been however, accustomed to think that no specific form of
church government la ordered by Christ
or defined by his apostles; that no one
form is essential to the validity of the
ministry and of church ordinances; and
that that form of church government is
best in each church which test promotes
the order, peace, purity and spiritual
activity and growth of the body. In
this latitude of opinion I may be seriously
in error. Quite possibly those Episcopalian brethren may be right, who narrow
the bounds of valid organization to
churches under Episcopal rule, and of
valid ordination to that transmitted by
an unbroken
apostolical succession'
of bishops. It might even be conceivable to a right-thinking mind that the
Lord Jesus may have intended all his
churches throughout the world to be subject to the Bishop of Rome, as their
head, although my own mental adjustments make such a thing inconceivable
to me.
But however human errors and mental limitations' cause true believers to
differ on these points, of one thing I am
positive and certain, (and you also, brother) that my Lord and Savior rose
from the deatl, as was witnessed "by
many infallible proofs," and that he lives
and reigns, antl is the blessed and almighty Head of his body the church.
We know him ; he reveals himself in
our souls in love and power. Our strength
is from him. Our spirits live and grow
in him. Following, trusting, obeying him, we belong to him, and he
knows us as the members of his body,
and will bring us with him when he appears in glory.
It seems needful to emphasize above
all things this privilege we have of personal union and closeness to our Lord
and King. In the light of this one
great and essential fact of Christian experience, how inferior do all considerations of outward forms appear ! How
little must the large and loving heart of
our blessed Redeemer care for those
things • The weak, wayward love of his
people, their trembling, wavering trust
—how unspeakably great to him is it to
confirm and strengthen these ; how little
he cares for the outward badge or style
of array.
Is not this living union of souls to the
one Head, the true unity of the church ?
Thus trusting him, thus loving, thus
loyal to one Beloved, we must love and
honor one another. And for his dear
sake, we shall gladly work together to
save from sin and satan those for whom
he died.

THE TRUE CHURCH.
The Lord Jesus Christ "is the head
of tlic body, the church." (Col. 1: 18.)
The church of his people are united to
him by the closest and most Intimate
tie, so as to he, as it were, a part of himself. It is evident that this cannot lie
the bond of a mere outward form expressing allegiance. It cannot be mere membership In any outward visible organization, however sacred and solemn. It
must be a personal union between the
living Savior and the soul of each member of his body. Bach one must be joined
to Ids Lord by the tie of personal and real
adhesion —of loving, trusting, clinging
faith. Without this, no professed and
formal connection, however regular, with
Christ's visible church among men can
constitute true membership; nor does it
secure the Inestimable benefits of union
to Christ. That can come only by each
member for himself with his whole soul
taking hold of the Lord Jesus as his
living Savior, Shepherd and Friend.
In this view we believe that all enlightened Reformed Christians unite.
The teachers of Reformed or Protestant
churches are generally disposed, we believe, to emphasize the need of personal,
heart-faith in Christ, however they
may differ as to ecclesiastical principles.
They all accept and hold the view that
Christ knows his own sheep, the souls
who cling to him, and that of whatever
service and value outward and formal
church-membership may be, it does not
of itself render any one a real member
of the body of Christ.
No doubt, the divergencies of opinion
are very serious among earnest Christians as to the importance and the validity of church organizations, and external
ordinances. For myself, I hold outward
and definite organization of the church
"Strength is born in the deep silence
to be needful and of extreme iinpor- of long-suffering hearts, not amidst joy."
CHINESE Y. M. C. A. BUILDING.
The new house for the Chinese Y. M.
C. A. Is progressing rapidly and will
probably be ready for use in a few weeks.
It is situated in a lot in the rear of the
Chinese Church premises with which It
is immediately connected. There are
also entrances from Beretania and Fort
Streets.
Generous subscriptions have
already been raised from the members
and their friends in Honolulu, and subscription papers have been circulated
among the Chinese in Kohala and at
other points. The new building, in addition to a large apartment for meetings,
will have a reading room and a number
of small rooms, for the temjwrary accommodation of members who may be without a home, and there will also be accommodations for the sick and destitute, if
necessary. This Association is a very
worthy one and exerts a most excellent
influence upon a large number of Chinese,
who are thus made acquainted with the
principles of the Christian Religion and
shown the evils of heathenism. Any donations which friends may be pleased to
make towards defraying the expenses of
the new building will be most gratefully

it makes all the difference in the world

If intemperance should break out among horses

and by systematic cessation from labor
replenish mind and body with fresh supplies of strength for the work of life.
Gladstone, it is said, has always boon a
conscientious observer of the day anil
now in his advanced years he is able to
moot the most complicated political situations. With beneficent intent the
weekly day of rest was founded by the
Creator in the constitution of man and
body, mind and soul demand that the
day shall lie kept. We would also call
attention, as we have done before In
Tin-: Fiuf.ni), to the fact that It is the
Lord's day. On this point there is needed line upon line and precept upon
precept." .Signalized by the resurrection
of our Lord Jesus from the dead, the
<lay has an interest which no day of
human appointment can po-.-ibly possess
antl should therefore be regarded as distinct from all other days. Philip Henry
called it "tile best of till the seven, the
queen of days, the pearl of the week."
Let no one imagine that the day should
be a sad one or one of solemn dullness.
We would not clothe it witli funeral
robes and sing solemn dirges, but rather
invest it with a character of calm antl
The general aspeaceful enjoyment.
pect of this day which we would encourage," says Dr. Hamilton, is not that of
sternness, of morbid sensitiveness, of
crouching will-worship, but that of settled, solemn stillness. One wortl would
interpret all we desire, as best agreeing
to it, without and within—serenity.
We rejoice when it breaks in elemental
pence, with balmy breath and cloudless
beauty. We rejoice when it departs
with tin,' tranquility of a sunset which is
disturbed by no angry blast or tempest
rack. Yet more do we rejoice when the
tumult of the people stills. The collisions of life no longer chafe. The dizzy
wheels of society stop. City and village,
temple and home, lie bathed in an unearthly calm."
The day is one for worship. Man is
not a brute. He has a spiritual as well
us a physical nature. He is Ood's offspring and is not for this world ouly, but
the possibilities have been placed within
his reach for happiness and advancement
in another and higher sphere, ami the
holy time should be tilled with thoughts
of God and- immortality, Thus set apart
for God and the contemplation of our
higher needs the day will carry its influence onward and shed a blessing on all
days and time and fit us for the enjoyment of that heavenly life of which the
day of rest here is a type.
"
HOLY TIME.
Our American exchanges tell cf steady
progress in non-observance of the christian sabbath; of an increasing violation of
the day on the part of business men,
railroad officials and politicians, which
leads the christian people of the land to
fear, that, unless this aggressive foe be
arrested and overcome, the day which
<« was made for man"—for the furtherance of his best interests, temporal and
immortal —may be turned from its beneficent design of rest and worship into
one of traffic and travel, gaiety and dissipation.
It is apparent to every reflecting mind
that were this day stricken from the calendar of days, the fair fabric of civil and
religious liberty which has been our
glory and joy would not only be seriously
imperiled, but the pillars would ere long
tremble and the temple fall. To give up
the sabbath would be putting the knife
to the throat of that which gives dignity
and stability to society. It would be
going back to barbarism. No nation can
look for endurance and prosperity except
through the recognition of God in the
day he has instituted. Every community or land thathas thrived and become
a center of power and ol beneficence to
others must attribute it to the healthful
and uplifting influences of the sabbath,
and the prosperity of the people has been
in proportion as the observance of the
day has been carried out. The keeping
of it has carried the choicest blessings to
the individual, the family, the nation
and the world at large. There is hardly

MUST THE WHITE MAN GO?
There are two sides to the Chiuese
question.
Ten yours ago when we went from
hoston to the Pacific Coast, like all other
"wise men from the East," wo were
very certain that there was but one side
to the question, and that we knew all
about it: (Tie Chinese should be allowed
to come to "free America" as they
pleased, like all other nationalities; they
were peaceable, industrious, law-abiding,
and a valuable addition to the working
force of any nation. And we embodied
our wisdom in a sermon very speedily,
and inflicted it upon a surprised and decidedly unappreciative audience in PortYou will know more
land, Oregon.
about this Chinese question in a few
years," said one of my hearers next day.
"1 should not be surprised if your views
changed somewhat."
And he was right. We still keep that
sermon as a curiosity.
Five years' residence on the Pacific
Coast taught us this fact: iVo nation can
afford to have its white mechanics and
iciirk'imj-iaen brought into competition
with the Chinese.
Such is the ease in Hawaii, and she is
paying the penalty: her white smalltradesmen, mechanics and working-men
are steadily, remorselessly being driven
out of the kingdom. It is only a question of time when of these classes all
who remain will be a few master-,
mechanics.
Walk through the Chinese quarter and
you will rind every line of trade (except
hart I ware and agricultural implements)
and every line of mechanism represented.
Take a few sample cases of the competition to which our white mechanics are
subjected : A wise woman in this land
of moths and cockroaches had a large
white cedar box made; properly upholstered it serves the double purpose of
a lounge and a receptacle for clothing.
A Chinaman made the box for $10. A
friend desiring one like it ordered it
from a white carpenter; it cost $20.
Carriage painting la tirst-class white
shops costs from $25 to $30 ; the Chinese
painter charges from $15 to $18. A
gentleman wished a light business coat:
his white tailor did not have the kind of
goods he wanted; passing through the
Chinese quarter he saw just what he
wanted, asked for a sample of the goods
and the price of a coat: "Nine dollars."
The gentleman took the sample of goods
to his tailor: "Here is the kind of
goods I want: what will a coat from it
cost?" "Eighteen dollars." An old
house was to be remodeled : the lowest
bid from white contractors was $2700. A
Chinese contractor did the work for
$1700!
When asked how he could
afford to do it so low he replied: "If
we make a dollar a day we are satisfied."
We could multiply such instances.
"

THE FRIEND.
The Chinese mechanic can live on a
dollar a day, yes, on fifty cents a day,
and "fare sumptuously." No white
mechanic can live on such wages; his
actual expenses for room and board will
amount to a dollar per day.
We cannot afford to have our white
mechanics live as the Chlnese.do. Civilization and religion both forbid it
Brought in competition with cheap Chinese labor, marriage, and a home, and a
family Is an impossibility to the mechanic
and working-man. Such a. state of
things means immorality and utter de-
moralization.
Without touching the political, and
economic, and sanitary sides of the question, from moral and religious reasons
alone we say that no nation can afford to
have its white mechanics and workingmen orought into competition with the
Chinese.
Who will suggest a remedy ? Hoodluinisin certainly is not a remedy and
is a disgrace to civilization. Class or
race legislation seems unjust, and in
America has largely failed to accomplish
its object We confess that we are in doubt
as to the best course for this government
to pursue. But that something should be
done to retain in Hawaii the remnant of
white mechanics and working men which
is still here, all admit, for there is no
more valuable element of our population.
The white man has gone, and is going.
Must he continue to go ?
"BISHOPS" AND "ELDERS."
Some wise advocates of the extrascriptural system of church government
which requires three orders in its ministry, and which squarely In the face of
the divine prohibition, gives its "Bishops" "lordship" over the church, admit
that this is not "the essential divine
order;" in other words, that while it has
rfo scriptural authority they claim that
it is expedient and best. With such we
have no controversy ; it is their privilege, if they choose, to use that system of
church government. Hut some "otherwise" advocates claim that this so-called
order is scriptural, and of divine authority, and that "a church cannot be constituted" without it. With them we
join issue. For it is a plain but not verybroad or liberal assertion that for years
after Christianity was introduced into
Hawaii there was no such a thing as a
church; and that now the only churches
in this Kingdom are the Catholic and
Anglican ; all other Christians are unchurched, their ministers un-ordained,
and their ordinances invalid !
It is admitted that the words Hishop
{epUcopos) and Elder (presbuteros) "were
originally synonymous." The "burden
of proof" rests with those who hold that
they come to mean something different,
An attempt to do this is made. We are
told,
the Apostles exercised
authority over the churches ; that they
"appointed Matthias to the vacant place"
in the A postulate, and that they up

whom the whole body of the church had
chosen. The Aposlles even did not exercise lordship, as do our modern bishops. They were missionaries who "went
everywhere preaching the word," and
organising believers into local, self-governing churches.
2nd. Again we are told that the
Apostles were succeeded by bishops, in
the modern sense of that word, and that
Timothy and Titus, and Epaphroditus
were among the first. But on what evidence ? We are told that Paul "appointed Epaphroditus to be his successor"
as Bishop of Philippi, because, forsooth, the church in Philippi had chosen
him as their messenger (Greek, apostolus) to carry a contribution to Paul in
Home ! What right had Paul to appoint
him? Paul tells us (Phil, ii: 26-80)
that he sent him back to Philippi, not as
his successor, but because he had been
very sick, and because "he longed after
you all." In other words, Epaphroditus
was home-sick, and so Paul sent him
back hotne. And on this home-sick
helper of l'aul's some would try to build
the fabric of modern Episcopacy !
Again we are told that Paul

plete.
But that he made Titus a diocesan bishop
is squarely contradicted by this very epistle, for In the third chapter Titus is told
that bis work there is only temporary,
that be is to rejoin Paul "before winter,"
and that he (Paul) will send Artemas, or
Tychicus, to relieve him —a rather highhanded and summary proceeding that

from his diocese!
It is amazing with what cool assumption Timothy is transformed from a helper

Paul in liis second letter (2 Tim. iv : !))
orders him to leave Fphesus and come

the least bint that Timothy was ever, in
the Episcopal sense, bishop of the Church

In the scriptures the words Elder and

THE CHURCHES.
THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH.
OCTOBER—NOVKM BE 11.
The Rev. A.(). Forbes, secretary of
the Hawaiian Board, having returned in
safely and with renewed health from a
three months' vacation trip to Puget
Sound, gave a very interesting account
tit the Wednesday evening prayer meeting of his travels, including Portland,
(hregoa and the various towns alxiut the
Sound. After a graphic description of
the scenery Bro. Forbes spoke of the
evil which is rampant there in every
form, but that to counteract and overcome
it, the cause of religion is not only well
established but making noticeable progress.
After the close of the prayer-meeting
the annual meeting of the Bethel Social
Union was held to listen to reports and
to elect new officers and committees.
Mr. T. M. Henderson was elected President of the Union to serve till October,
188IJ. The names of officers and committees having kindly been printed in
full in the Daily Bulletin we may here
omit them.
On the the first Thursday evening of
the month the Church social was held at
the residence of the pastor. The time
was devoted to conversation, literary and
musical exercises and refreshments and
all who were present reported having
spent a very pleasant evening.
On the morning of Sunday, the 4th,
Mr. F. W. Damon, superintendent of
christian work among the Chinese, addressed the Sunday school on China and
the spiritual needs of the Chinese in this
community and kingdom. Mr. Damon
had brought with him a painting of Rev.
Robert Morrison, the first missionary
who in this century went from England
to China, translated the Bible and pre-
pared a dictionary for the Chinese. Also
a painting of one of the Pagodas which
are reared all through China to appease
the wrath of the gods. He also showed
the school a praying machine, being a
small round box of which they turn the
crank and turnout prayers.
Mr. Damon
said, that sometimes these machines are
so large, that it takes seven men to turn
the crank. He also showed a brick, that
he had brought with him from China, of
a wtill 1,500 miles long, built 200 years
before Christ. He said it was easy
enough to laugh at this people and call
them John Chinaman," but thatapeoplc who could build a wall like that are
worth looking after. The speaker then
pleaded eloquently, in behalf of the
Chinese cause, for a more general interest on the part of christian workers.
The school through Mr. B. F. Dillingham
gave Mr. Damon a cordial vote of thanks
for his instructive and earnest address.
The collection taken up was devoted to
christian work among the Chinese.
Tho monthly concert was well attended. The subject The North American
Indians" made the hour one of interest
and profit. Professor Bates had a map
and pointed out where the red man
dwells. Mrs. 11. A. Parinelee read a
poem on the Indian's rights and Mrs. B.
P. Dillingham contributed an able paper,
printed subsequently in full in the Fhiily
Jlit/letiii. To this we may add, that the
article "The Indian Country" by Henry
King in the August number of the Century Magazine is a valuable contribution
and deserves attention.
The teachers' meeting, at Mr. Dillingham's residence, was attended by nearly
all the officers and teachers. Arrangements were completed to provide suitable rewards for all scholars who have
been faithful in attendance on public
worship during the year.
On the evening of the 20th there was
a very pleasant gathering of the members of the Social Union at the residence
of Mr. 11. A. Parmelee. Some changes
were made in the Constitution of the
Union and a new one ordered to be
printed. Refreshments followed and at
the close the thanks of all present were
tendered to Mr. Parmelee and his family
for theirkind hospitality.
There was a collection for the foreign
work of the Hawaiian Board on Sunday,
the 25th.
The preparatory lecture was given
Wednesday evening, the 28th, for the
celebration of the Lord's Supper, November Ist.
The Young People's Friday evening
prayer meetings have the presence and
blessing of the Master. We pray and
labor for a more general attendance.
The monthly meeting of the officers
and teachers of the Sunday school will
be held on Tuesday evening, the 10th,
at the residence of Mr. Jonathan Shaw,
No. 24 School street.

Attendance on public worship during
the month has shown a marked increase,
especially at the evening services. Prof.
Yamdley's fine choir is doing excellent
work and by its rendering of the choicest sacred music adds greatly to the worship. Special effort is made to have the
choral service on Sunday evenings full,
spiritual, uplifting, and helpful. It is

He signed the pledge,
and has kept it, through some stern
struggles, faithfully ever since. He began business again in a small way, and
was asked to speak at temperance meetings. It was up-hill work, but he went
on steadily. His parents died. Before
her death his mother gave him a copy
of the autobiography and orations of
John It. Gough. Roth the manner and
substance of these orations strengthened
his resolve to abstain, and he committed
the principal ones to memory. Subsequently he delivered them from memory
to 75,00(1 people in thirteen nights in the
National Standard Theatre of London.
He continued these recitals in London
and tin- provinces, attracting great attention and doing much good. Stimulated
by his example, many young men tried
to follow it, and some are still making
these recitals with good effect in different parts of the country.

ISLAND TEXT-BOOKS. IV.
It has not been a difficult task to point
out features in our present text-books in
arithmetic and geography that render
them unsuitable for tho peculiar work of
many of our schools. Neither is it difficult to outline what would prove to be a
most useful manual in each of these
studies. A text-book in arithmetic could
be prepared, and printed here at the Islands, that would not only serve all
practical ends but would actually raise
the standardof attainment in this branch
in all our schools. And this would be
accomplished not through the loss, by
omission, of a single valuable principle,
but by a wise combination of the improvements made in recent years Ivoth in
England and America in the matter of
simplifying and condensing the treatment of the most practical departments
of this very practical study. It is important that our pupils should be well
grounded in the fundamental processes,
decimals, fractions, denominate numbers, and percentage and its applications,
including, of course, interest. Ratio and
proportion, equation of accounts, involution and evolution, partnership,exchange,
alligation, duodecimals, and the metric
system, could be profitably consigned to
an appendix according to the fashion of
some recent text-books, or what would
be better incorporated into a supplementary arithmetic. This expunging of
several very familiar divisions of our
stereotyped arithmetics would not mean
that they were of little value but that
theother divisions were of greater value.
It is important, again, that these retained divisions be very clearly and
concisely treated. Decimals and whole
numbers, as in Wentworth's Practical
Arithmetic, should be taught together.
It is easier to teach a child to notate in
both directions at the outset than it is
later on to make clear to his mind that
decimal notation is not a contradiction of
all that be has learned before. Besides
whole numbers and decimals as they occur in practical mathematics are not divorced as they are in the books. They
can be taught readily and luminously
under the same rules, a single note under
multiplication and division each being
sufficient to clear up all the legerdemain
of pointing off."
Fractions should be more succinctly
reated than is the case in most textxxiks. Compound and complex fractions
should not be allowed even a name to
ive, for the one is a simple example in
multiplication and the other in division
of fractions. Multiplication and division
of fractions should precede addition and
subtraction as is now the case in one
text-book, at least, and there should be
"
but one comprehensive rule for each.
The rule for finding the common denominator could well drop out of reduction
and fall into its natural place in the rules
for addition and subtraction.
Compound and denominate numbers
could be advantageously taught together
under each table as in Smith's Arithmetic (Cambridge, Eng.). Steady progress has been made in all recent textbooks in the treatment of percentage and
its applications. This progress has been
in the direction of simplicity and luminosity in the treatment of discount, particularly.
In no text-book are all of these improvements to be found. In many of them,
some are pronounced features. There
seems no good reason why they should
not all be incorporated into a single textbook. Such a book with mental and
written exercises combined would be
brief, so that most of our pupils would be
able to complete it, clear, so that all
would Ixs able to understand the various
processes, and practical, so that it would
prove one of the most valuable text-books
that could be put into a child's hands.
The cause of elementary education here
at the Islands is suffering from the lack
of just such a book.
SCHOOL SUPERVISION.
Has not the time come for a modification of the present system of school
supervision? There are about IGO schools
in the Kingdom that are wholly under
the control and supervision of the Government. There are over 40 independent schools each of which is in some
measure under Government supervision.
Here then is a total of 200 schools, calling for supervision, and considering the
distances that need to be traveled and
the comparative inaccessibility of some
of the schools, it is quite within bounds
to say that the supervisor can visit not
more than one school a day, on an average, and can visit each school but once
in a year. Such supervision must iv the
very nature of things be superficial.
Probably quite as much depends on
the judicious supervision of these schools
as on efficient instruction. But this
supervision cannot be undertaken in the
most profitable way by a single person.
There is need for a supervisor general,
as is now the case, but his work needs to
be supplemented in some way so that
while he is made responsible for the
quality of the supervision, he may at the
same time have valuable assistance rendered him by others. It would not be
a bad plan to have an assistant supervisor
for the large island of Hawaii with its
76 schools so widely scattered. Or it
would be a very effective way to help
and inspire teachers to have stated and
frequent gatherings of the teachers at
centrally located places for strictly normal work. The working of our educational system has not kept pace with our
development in other directions. With
but a slight comparative increase in outlay our common schools and consequently
Volume 43, No. 11
our higher schools could enhance their
efficiency in a marked degree. It is no
part of the supervisor's work as at present conducted to hold teachers' meetings. It is not difficult to see how the
personal presence of a competent super-
visor at such meetings would advance
the cause of English primary instruction
among us. We trust that the Board of
Education will see the need of re-vitalizing present methods of supervision.
There are some very positive evils connected with things as they are, and there
is no excuse for their continuance.
—The very steady increase in attendance in all our higher schools is a hopeful indication. For it not only shows
that our youth are appreciating better
the advantages of an education, but it
likewise shows-that the schools of lower
grade are making commendable progress
in imparting English instruction.
—" The use of tobacco is to be absolutely prohibited in all the government
schools in France, on the ground that it
affects injuriously the ability to study.
The regulation is based on the recommendation of a commission of men of
science, and meets with general approval."
—The successful teacher is the one
who gives an onward impulse to the
whole school. The successful school is
the one in which progressive work is
being done In all the grades. Too often
superficial observers are loud in their
praises of a teacher who can deftly exhibit a few advanced pupils possibly in a
single study ; and they call such a school
successful when the very attention given
to a few pupils of promise has resulted in
making the school almost a failure in the
quality of work done by the school as a
whole.
.
—It is not often that a truth is more
tersely put than this, from The Spring-,
field Republican
:
This is not the age of the decadence of Christianity, and it is amazing that even an lngersoll
can entertain the notion that the nails are being
driven into its coffin, at a time whose intense activity in missionary work at home and abroad exceeds everything ever known before in the world.
Steadily for the past ten years this activity baa
been increasing in this country. All over the land
multiply organizations of practical workers ; society after society is organized for some special and
detiuite purpose, or for the general purpose of
strengthening mutual faith and fervor. The sceptics may drive the nail home as fast as they like
and bury the coffin, but it will be an empty chest,
or more likely infidelity itself will fill it. Hainan
swung from the gallowsprepared for Mordecai.
—Rev. Dr. Stratton of Natchez,
Miss., in a manual for Church Members
recently published, has these comments
on worldly amusements :
The radical difference between the Christian and
the votary of these worldly amusements appears
in this—there can be no reciprocity in their enjoyments. In his associat.on with the worldly man
in his amusements, the Christian makes a con;
cession winch the worldly man will not reciprocate.
I'he former is expected to affiliate with the latter,
hut the latter never affiliates with the former. No
one would dream of seeing a frequenter of a theater or of the race-course goinu with the Christian
neighbor whom be had been inducing to aocompany him to those places of amusement, to attend
the prayer meeting or the religious assembly,
which the Christian is supposed to love.

THE RECEPTION.
The reception given to the officers and
crew of 11. B. M. S. Satellite on Friday
evening, Oct. 9th, was perhaps the rhost
successful and profitable entertainment
given by the Association.
A well selected programme of readings, vocal and instrumental music was
admirably rendered. Three brief speeches
were interspersed at proper intervals,
after which the entire company were
served with ice cream and cake, provided
by the British Vice-Consul, who is
Chairman of our Entertainment Committee, and the President of the Association.
Next in order followed responses from
the guests of the evening, which consisted in heartily expressed thanks, and
two songs, in one of which the crew
joined vigorously in the chorus. One of
the speakers said "ho had been nearly
all over the world, but he had never met
with anything to excel the reception
and entertainment of the present occasion." In closing, at the suggestion of
the Chairman, all present rose and joined
heartily in singing "God Save the
Queen," Which Was followed by"Auld
Liang Syne." "Three cheers for our
Honolulu friends
were then proposed
and enthusiastically given by the sailors,
as with smiling faces they took their departure, feeling they had enjoyed a
good time" of the sort that brings only
sunshine and pleasure in the subsequent
hour of quiet reflection.
"
"
CLASSES.
The Singing Class under the efficient
eadership of Prof. Yarndley promises to
lecome a valuable help to our general
work. The members attending this
class will be the better qualified to assist
n our public meetings, and perhaps later
they will be able to give a concert in the
course of entertainments.
We should be glad to welcome a few
more ladies to the cla>s, especially those
singing tenor.
The class in Book-keeping was re-organized the first Monday evening in October. Several of the former scholars
graduated from the class at its close before vacation, but a sufficient number of
the new members of the Association have
joined to form a large and interesting
class.
Mr. P. C. Jones, an Ex-President of
the Association, organized the first class
over two years ago, and has continued
its constant and faithful teacher every
Monday evening since when at home,
except during a short vacation last summer.
A class in Geometry was formed
Oct. 10th to meet every subsequent Friday evening at 7.30 o'clock. Mr. H. W.
Laws of the Government Survey Office,
a young man of superior ability, und one
of our recently elected members, has
kindly consented to teach the class.
The only requisite to join one or all of
the above classes is a membership ticket
in the Association,and a pledge to regular
attendance. Young ladies are admitted
to the singing class free of charge.
YOUNG MEN.
During the past month there has been
a very noticeable increase of young men
among the numbers who have patronized our building. Of course the conspicuous Welcome" at the front entrance indicates that our doors are open
to all. Yet there is a particular pleasure
in seeing the young men turn away from
the questionable places and forms of
amusement to put themselves under influences that are pure, and that will give
an up-lift to all their better aspirations.
Such an institution is the Young Men's
Christian Association.
An interesting variety of reading matter can always be found in the Reading
Room, and surely no pleasanter spot can
be found for social diversion than our attractive Parlors—beautifully furnished,
well lighted, delightfully cool, and provided with al the principal parlor games.
Young men, remember they are yours,
to use and enjoy.
"
IN THE SHADOW.
We frequently meet young men who
appear to be so sadly out of harmony
with all their social surroundings that
one is led to believe the lens of their
little telescope must be strongly tinged
with blue, and that the range of their
observation is chiefly along the shady
side of life.
Because of an imaginary slight, or a
fancied failure, on the part of superiors
to appreciate their valuable qualities
they have become soured and censorious.
The young man who makes the laudations of men the goal of his endeavor
will find sooner or later that he is following simply the Mirage of the desert,
—in another form, it is true but none the
more satisfactory in results. My young
friend, apply all your God-given energies to develop those qualities in life that
will make you useful rather than ornamental.
Worth will be discovered, and its
possessor will be invited to the front in
due time.
Character will take the prize. "Chromos strike the sight, but merit wins the
soul."
FOOD FOR MEDITATION.
Mrs. Clara Hoffman, President of the
Missouri W. C. T. U. in a recent address
in lowa, said,—" From the report of the
Commissioner for Internal Revenue for
1883, I have learned that the amount of
tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, liquor, and
beer consumed iv our Republic each year,
gives each of our sovereign voters 3J
pounds of smoking tobacco, 10 pounds of
chewing tobacco, 250 cigars, 6 gallons of
"
"
whiskey, 33 gallons of beer, besides 10
gallons to each woman and child. Happy voters ! Happy country 1
"Then, that there shall be no falling
off of patronage, and that the rising
generation should be well and fully prepared for coming citizenship, there were
consumed 100 cigarettes for every one of
the children between 10 and 21 years of
age.
"Then millions of pounds and millions
of gallons of ".comfort" were furnished
by our Christian Republic to other peoples not as favored, Christian and cultured as we."
There is much in the above that can
bo applied to these beautiful islands so
wonderfully blessed by God, but so sadly
cursed by whisky.
As individual christians and as an Association we have an important work to
do along this line. "Rescue the perishing." Protect the innocent.
"GOD BLESS THE Y. M. C. A."
The following lines were written expressly for this page of Tiik Friend, by
Mrs. M. F. Greenleaf, a Ixdoved Christian friend, in our old home, Lowell,
Mass.
God bless the V..M. C. A. of onr land,
God bless them everywhere;

Like the Eden of old so fair.

By young men, from the east and west.

folks make over pictures. When I was

Some of our Honolulu young men will
do well to discontinue their practice in

there's no money or real pleasure in the

and obey His word." The choir chanted
in Hawaiian the one hundredth Psalm,
which was followed by the dedicatory
sermon preached by Rev. Mr. Bingham,
from the 132nd Psalm, verses 7, 13, 14,
15, 10.
This building continued in use until it
was replaced by the present commodious
and substantial building of coral stone.
This building was commenced in 1830,
under the auspices of Kamehameha 111
and the then Premier, the high Chiefess
Kinati, and GovernorKekuanaoa. Alxiut
SO,001) in money was subscribed to begin
with, and besides the subscriptions in
money, the rulers gave a considerable
portion of the stone, lime and timber for
the building. The stone was cut from
the coral flats, in front of the town. Tho
lime was obtained by burning the coral.
The timber was brought largely from the
forests back of Honolulu, and some from
California and Oregon. The shingles
came from Oregon ; boards, nails, glass,
sashes, and lamps from Boston. The
tower clock was presented by James
lluiinewcll, Esq., of Boston. The length
of the building is 144, and the width 78 ft.
The whole basement story is excavated
down to the coral rock, and the foundation walls are laid on that rock. Tho
basement walls are 44 inches thick and
about 12 feet high. The corner stono
was laid with due ceremony at the north
west corner of tint building, at the to]) of
the basement wall. This is a block of
Waianae sandstone weighing about half
a ton, Which was procured by A. Paki,
the father of the late Mrs. Bernice Pauahi Bishop, and transported to Honolulu
under his direction. Beneath this stone
were placed a copy of die Hawaiian Bible,
a volume of Mathematics and one on Anatomy, both in Hawaiian, anil a brass
plate on which was inscribed the date,
reign, and the object for which tho
church was erected. The engraving was
neatly done by G. L. Kapeau, then a studentat LahainaltiiniSeminary. Abovetho"
basement, the walls were carried up 30
inches thick to the sills of the gallery
windows, and thence 27 inches to tho
plates. Rev. Mr. Bingham returned to
the United (States in 1840, while tho
building was yet incomplete. Rev. R.
Armstrong succeeded him as Pastor of
the church, and uncTer him it was completed and dedicated July 21, 1842.
Originally, the audience room occupied
the whole inner space, and the pulpit
was placed at the southeast end. Tho
side galleries extended the whole length
of the building, and the whole floor space
was occupied with seats. Both fhxirs
and galleries were notunfrequently filled
by the large congregations of those days.
But subsequently the decrease of tho
people rendered it desirable to reduce
the size of the audience room, and a partition was run across the main floor, and
the pulpit moved forward to correspond.
In 1848, Rev. E. W. Clark succeeded
Mr. Armstrong as pastor of aha church,
and continued in thatrelation till 1803,
when he resigned, and Rev. H. H. Parker, the present pastor, was installed,
Under the present pastorate, a gallery
has been thrown across tho end of the
audience room behind the pulpit, a fine
pipe organ placed on it, large and heavy
but appropriate chandeliers have been
provided, and the whole audience room
has been refloored, newly seated, and
provided with a large platform pulpit.

THE FRIEND.
November, 1885.
tance to the edification and proper activity of Christian
believers. There
must be a visible and organized church,
and a special and definite constitution
thereof. I have been however, accustomed to think that no specific form of
church government la ordered by Christ
or defined by his apostles; that no one
form is essential to the validity of the
ministry and of church ordinances; and
that that form of church government is
best in each church which test promotes
the order, peace, purity and spiritual
activity and growth of the body. In
this latitude of opinion I may be seriously
in error. Quite possibly those Episcopalian brethren may be right, who narrow
the bounds of valid organization to
churches under Episcopal rule, and of
valid ordination to that transmitted by
an unbroken
apostolical succession'
of bishops. It might even be conceivable to a right-thinking mind that the
Lord Jesus may have intended all his
churches throughout the world to be subject to the Bishop of Rome, as their
head, although my own mental adjustments make such a thing inconceivable
to me.
But however human errors and mental limitations' cause true believers to
differ on these points, of one thing I am
positive and certain, (and you also, brother) that my Lord and Savior rose
from the deatl, as was witnessed "by
many infallible proofs," and that he lives
and reigns, antl is the blessed and almighty Head of his body the church.
We know him ; he reveals himself in
our souls in love and power. Our strength
is from him. Our spirits live and grow
in him. Following, trusting, obeying him, we belong to him, and he
knows us as the members of his body,
and will bring us with him when he appears in glory.
It seems needful to emphasize above
all things this privilege we have of personal union and closeness to our Lord
and King. In the light of this one
great and essential fact of Christian experience, how inferior do all considerations of outward forms appear ! How
little must the large and loving heart of
our blessed Redeemer care for those
things • The weak, wayward love of his
people, their trembling, wavering trust
—how unspeakably great to him is it to
confirm and strengthen these ; how little
he cares for the outward badge or style
of array.
Is not this living union of souls to the
one Head, the true unity of the church ?
Thus trusting him, thus loving, thus
loyal to one Beloved, we must love and
honor one another. And for his dear
sake, we shall gladly work together to
save from sin and satan those for whom
he died.

sometimes sorrowfully, but always

"
THE TRUE CHURCH.
The Lord Jesus Christ "is the head
of tlic body, the church." (Col. 1: 18.)
The church of his people are united to
him by the closest and most Intimate
tie, so as to he, as it were, a part of himself. It is evident that this cannot lie
the bond of a mere outward form expressing allegiance. It cannot be mere membership In any outward visible organization, however sacred and solemn. It
must be a personal union between the
living Savior and the soul of each member of his body. Bach one must be joined
to Ids Lord by the tie of personal and real
adhesion —of loving, trusting, clinging
faith. Without this, no professed and
formal connection, however regular, with
Christ's visible church among men can
constitute true membership; nor does it
secure the Inestimable benefits of union
to Christ. That can come only by each
member for himself with his whole soul
taking hold of the Lord Jesus as his
living Savior, Shepherd and Friend.
In this view we believe that all enlightened Reformed Christians unite.
The teachers of Reformed or Protestant
churches are generally disposed, we believe, to emphasize the need of personal,
heart-faith in Christ, however they
may differ as to ecclesiastical principles.
They all accept and hold the view that
Christ knows his own sheep, the souls
who cling to him, and that of whatever
service and value outward and formal
church-membership may be, it does not
of itself render any one a real member
of the body of Christ.
No doubt, the divergencies of opinion
are very serious among earnest Christians as to the importance and the validity of church organizations, and external
ordinances. For myself, I hold outward
and definite organization of the church
"Strength is born in the deep silence
to be needful and of extreme iinpor- of long-suffering hearts, not amidst joy."
CHINESE Y. M. C. A. BUILDING.
The new house for the Chinese Y. M.
C. A. Is progressing rapidly and will
probably be ready for use in a few weeks.
It is situated in a lot in the rear of the
Chinese Church premises with which It
is immediately connected. There are
also entrances from Beretania and Fort
Streets.
Generous subscriptions have
already been raised from the members
and their friends in Honolulu, and subscription papers have been circulated
among the Chinese in Kohala and at
other points. The new building, in addition to a large apartment for meetings,
will have a reading room and a number
of small rooms, for the temjwrary accommodation of members who may be without a home, and there will also be accommodations for the sick and destitute, if
necessary. This Association is a very
worthy one and exerts a most excellent
influence upon a large number of Chinese,
who are thus made acquainted with the
principles of the Christian Religion and
shown the evils of heathenism. Any donations which friends may be pleased to
make towards defraying the expenses of
the new building will be most gratefully
received by Mr. F. W. Damon or Mr.
Goo Kirn.
—In the opinion of The Golden Era
it makes all the difference in the world
whether it is an ox or a man :
If intemperance should break out among horses
and cattle, there would be an extra session of Congress called ill less than three weeks to stay the
evil. But pshaw ! it's only men that get drank.
