THE WEEK OF PRAYER.
This season of prayer, set apart for the
Church of God throughout the earth to
pray unitedly for the speedy and universal establishment of the Kingdom of
Christ, is at hand. The week will be observed as heretofore, by union meetings
of the Fort Street and Bethel Union
Churches, at the latter church from eleven
o'clock a. m. for one hour, and the evening
meetings at Fort-St. Church at half-past
-even. As followers of (Jod we lielieve in
Hun as the hearer of prayer. We know
from His Word and by experience that
Divine Compassion can pardon our offences, that Divine Wisdom can enlighten
our ignorance, and Divine Power
strengthen our weakness. We know too
that there is great ellicacy in united, fervent prayer fir our own spiritual growth
and happiness, and for the regeneration
of the world ;:t large. We therefore desire to say to nil who are of the household
of faith : Let us look to this Week of
Prayer with gl id expectancy; let all decide beforehand that no pressure of work
and no engagem nisof a business or social
character shall prevent attendance at the
meetings. Do not come, as is often done,
to one or two or a few of the meetings,
but come every tini \ Come, not in a dejected mood, as if .ircst's ok Naz.vhktii
were still in the grave, buteome rejoicing,
believing, expecting. For He lives, and
His cause and ours are one. And the
Lokd Jkhus has the fullness of the Holy
Spirit! He can and will bless us, and
He can reach and transform and draw
unto Himself every heart in this city.
O, only believe, for according to your
faith shall it be unto you. Extend the
invitation and assure all of a welcome.
And may Christ's great salvation come
to every household and to all hearts.
God grant it.

IT DOES NOT PAY.
The experience of the world has been
crystalized in the maxim •< Honesty is
the best policy." Even men dishonest
at heart arc shrewd enough to see that
the ■hottest road to permanent, abiding
success, is not along the by-ways of
tricks," and "dodges," and dishonesty,
but that it lies along the air line of rectitude and strict integrity. In the business world there is no capital so sure to
bring regular and satisfactory returns as
old-fashioned honesty.
And what is true of men is true of communities and vat ions. Years ago Milton
teisely, forcibly, put this truth. He said:

"

"A commonwealth ought to be but as one huge
personage, one mighty growth and stature of an
Imi,est man, as big ami compact in virtue as in
body ; for look, what the grounds and causes are
of single happiness to one man, and the same ye
shall find them to a whole state."

Aye : it is just as true of a nation as it
is of a man, that Honesty is the best
policy." Let political corruption and the
taint of rottenness fasten upon and permeate a community and the results from
a material point of view are disastrous.
The general social life will so deteriorate
that thoughtful parents will feel that they
cannot afford to rear children in such a
moral atmosphere. The foundations of
business will become so insecure that
honest tradesmen will desert such a community as rats do a sinking ship.
Cincinnati, Ohio, is now presenting an
example of the truth of what we have
just written. That city has become notorious for election frauds, Sabbath breaking, and dram-drinking with all its train
of evils. The courts have become so corrupt, or lax, that it has become almost
impossible to punish crime ; and so great
have become the outrages upon decency
that last year a mob took possession of
the city, and a reign of terror prevailed.
But the lawless element, instead of being
checked by this outburst of the pent-up
indignation and wrath of a sorely tried
community, are displaying increasing
shamelessness and audacity. The last
election was notorious for its frauds, and
for the liold attempt of the lawless element to over-ride the will of the people.
And Cincinnati is paying the penalty. A

We stand on the threshold of a New
Year, 188G. Let us each ti.ke Paul's
motto :
Forgetting those things which
are behind, anil reaching forth unto those
things which are before, I press toward
the mark." Press forward hopefully.
You ought to make this a better year
than any of your life, for have you not
all your past experience to help you ? Do
you not know more of God's love than
you did a year ago? Are you not better
armed to resist temptation? Have you
not learned much oven from past failures?

As a natural oonsequence the trade of that city
has been affected unfavorably. Business men elsewhere, accustomed heretofore to supplythemselves
■iith goods in Cincinnati, have beguu tosend their
orders elsewhere ; partly because they know where
political corruption is so gross commercial honor

1870," the "entire clothing trade of Cincinnati,
which amounts to $20,000,000 yearly, is threatened
with destruction," and "nearly all the leading lines
are similarly threatened." Possibly this dispatch
presents an unduly gloomy view of the tituatiou,
but it is undeniable that trade in that city is in a
bad way, and that prominent business men are
very outspoken in attributing the state of business
to the existence of political corruption as the

prime cause.

Is there not a lesson in all this for Hawaii ? Whether there be any justification for it or not, the fact is that a general lack of confidence, and n feeling of
distrust and insecurity prevails in this
Kingdom. Some of our very best citizens have already gone from us, and
more are discussing seriously the question of finding homes elsewhere. The
universal verdict is,
Business never
was so dull before !" We suggest that
the most potent means for the restoration
of the prosperity of this Kingdom will be
found, not in a war against this man or
that man, or set of men, but in impressing firmly upon the minds of all that success lies along the line of strict integrity;
llighteousness exthat it is true that

THE STANFORD GIFT.
The recent act of Leland Stanford
and his wife in giving away the greater
part of their wealth towards founding the
Leland Stanford Junior University
in memory of their son who has passed
away, is one so entirely out of the course
of ordinary affairs that it seems more
like romance than reality. The gift to
the State of California of eighty-seven
thousand acres of land which are said to
have a present value of five million dollars and which before or at the close of
this century may be worth twenty millions, with an additional munificent endowment for the maintenance of the
Institution and to carry out all the objects contemplated, is indeed a magniticent benefaction. The Institution being
designed for both sexes, Mr. and Mrs.
Stanford may be said to have made
the boys and girls of California their
heirs, and in their desire to promote tho
public welfare they have done a deed
the greatness and beneficence of which
neither they nor we can understand.
They have not built for to-day but for all
time; not for this generation alone but
for those to come.
Bearing on this new University to be
erected at Palo Alto, we find the following important provisions in the articles
of endowment.
"That there shall be taught in the
University the existence of an all-wise
and benevolent Creator, and that obedience to His laws is the highest duty of
man.
"That the soul is immortal. It seems to
us that the welfare of man on earth demands the belief in immortality and that
the advantages of every good act and the
disadvantages of every evil one follow

In accepting the trust created by tho

Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the trustees
therein named have deemed it best to
prepare and publish this Prospectus of
the Kamehaineha Schools. This action
has been considered advisable both for

trust, and for the purpose of making such
public announcement of their plans, as
shall meet the constant inquiries of those
interested in the right disposition of this

In accordance with the terms of the

will be locatetl in Honolulu but in opposite
quarters of the city. The (Jills' School
will be near the Lunalilo Home in Mnkiki; the Hoys' School beyond the lteformatory on the western limits of Palatini.
The will expresses a wish that land
belonging to the estate should be chosen
for the location of the two schools, rather
than that money should be spent in purchasing a site. The trustees have decided that these locations are not only admirably adapted for school purposes, but
better than any that could be bought out-

The Course of Study, the Rules and

A paper by Mr. E. N. Dyer of the AinaUea English School, Kohala, on Encouragements and Discouragements in
the work of teaching English," was read
by Dr. C. M. Hvni:. We make the following extracts.
"Among the DiscouragemenU are these: the inability of llawaiians to give the consonant sounds;
the utter lack of wholesome restraint in
Hawaiian homes ; the fact that girls show
no other ambition than to reach the age
of fifteen, ami to secure lawful dismissal
from school; the non-attendance of pupils
at Sabbath service and Sunday School;
the increasing use of opium, tobacco, and
intoxicating drinks by the children; the
general sad influence of < Ihinese shops on
the rising generation ; the unwillingness
of Portuguese to permit the regular attendance of their children ; the bad use
(and little good use) nude of English;
the fact that older scholars are not fond
of reading English books; the general
ambition of Hawaiian boys to be 'shipped
hands' on a plantation. Among the Encouragements are these : that so many
enter the higher schools ; that those who
stop going toschool obtain respectable employment, receiving good wages ; that
Hawaiian parents desire to give their
children an Knglish education ; that Portuguese mothers in so many instances,
seeing the advantages of English for
their children, willingly purchase the
books required and have their children
attend ; and that so much progress is
made In attention to personal appearance.
The conclusion is that this work pays if
our aim be to build up character, but if
we desire only to impart a smattering of
English it is a most unsatisfactory and
unprofitable business.

THE WORK OF THE Y. M. C. A.
Many regard the. Young Men's Christian Association simply as a "City of
Refuge" into which the guilty and sinning may flee for succor and safety, but
think it bears no relation to the guileless
and upright who are unpursued by some
avenger of broken law.
While all that may be said in favor of
the Association as a help in reformation
may be true, yet the institution is quite
as valuableand as much needed to shelter
the innocent from the attacks of the
spoiler, as it is to win back to the paths
of virtue and righteousness those who
have wandered therefrom. The bright
pure boy of to-day will be the spotless,
noble man BO much needed to-morrow, if
he can only be safely kept through the
intervening hours of boyhood's twilight
ami manhood's dawn.
In this somewhat difficult task the
Association seeks to lend a helping hand.
During the seven days and evenings
of each week cheerful and commodious
rooms are constantly open, provided with
Social companionships, where the leisure
hours may be spent not only agreeably,
but profitably, and safely away from the
glitter and gilded allurements of vice.
In this city where so much of the social life tends downward, let the fathers,
motheis.and friends of the boys and the
young men, in their homes and out of
them, seek to inspire them with interest
in this noble work, the influence of which
brings unmeasured blessing to the
Church, the home and the community.
ITEMS.
Two royal palms have been planted in
front of the building—one on each side
of the entrance —which greatly improve
the general appearance from the street.
The Y. M. C. A. had a Christmas
present of five dozen cane-seat chairs
from one of its most devoted friends and
prominent members. Ye who complain
of hard seats, "Go thou and do likewise."
The new parlor games have proved
quite an attraction to the young men.
On one evening recently fourteen were
counted at one time pleasantly occupied
in the two social rooms, besides others in
the reading room.
So ninny things were crowded into

thought it best to defer our regular entertainment, that would have come on
Thursday of that week, until some time
in January.
Perhaps by that time
another man-of-war may drop her anchor
in our sheltering harbor. If so, we will
be able to extend a cordial aloha.
Young men who are in sympathy with

our work, and especially those who are
members of the Association, can render
a most valuable service by inviting their
friends or acquaintances to our building.

just that kind of work.

MONTHLY MEETING.
Although the evening was one of tho
most unpleasant of the season, yet there
was a surprisingly good attendance, and
the meeting was up to the average in
interest. Prest. Atiierton presided.
The reports from theCommittees present
showed an unremitted work was going
on which we hope to make more aggressive in the future.
Among other

duties, the General
Secretary had made seventy-seven calls,
attended twenty-one religious meetings,
and conducted the Sunday evening services for Itiov. 11C. OOORL at the Bethel
Union Church on two occasions.
Two new members were elected.
T. S. Nor in wirK was elected Treasurer for the balance of the year.
The interests of the Boys' Branch was
discussed, and a committee appointed to
co-operate more intimately with this important department of our Association.
Bear in mind that a membership ticket
in the Association, costing only two dollars, entitles the holder to free instruction
in vocal music, and book-keeipng.
"YAU HOK KITUK CHING TO UI."
One of the important events of the past
month was the dedication of the new
building erected by the Chinese Y. M. C
A., which took place on Thursday evening, December 3d.
The beading of this article Indicates as
nearly ss it can he expressed in English,
tins name of the Association.
Religious work among this important
class in our city was first undertaken by
our local Y. M. ('. A. about sixteen years
ago. Since then the work has grown until
now a large Church has been organized,
who own the commodious edifice in which
they worship. Schools have been established, and a Young Men's Christian
Association has been formed, who now
have a line home of their own, admirably
atlapted to their work among their own
peculiar race.
The audience of aliout three hundred
that crowded the Ball to its utmost capacity represented at least seven nationalities. Addresses were made in three
languages, and all joined heartily in the
singing, each in the tongue in which he
could best praise the Lamb," who came

In turning homeward from the unique

ADVICE
TO YOUNG MEN.
GOD
PORTER, of Vale, recently
gave this sound and wholesome ndvice
Young men, you are
to the students:
the architects of your own fortunes ; rely
on your own strength of body and soul.
Take for your star self-reliance ; inscribe
on your banner < Luck is a fool, Pluck is
a hero.' Don't take too much advice ;
keep at the helm and steer your own
ship, and remember that the art of commanding is to take a fair share of the
work. Think well of yourself; strike
out ; assume your own position ; rise
above the envious and the jealous. Eire
above the mark you intend to hit. Don't
swear; don't deceive ; don't marry until
you can support a wife ; advertise your
business ; love your God and tellownien ;
love truth and virtue ; love your country
and obey its laws." And we might add :
Don't use tobacco in any form. It is
doubtful if there is a more common or
filthier habit than tobacco chewing.
How ladies can allow their male associates to use it in their presence is more
than we can account for. When "Will

IMPORTANCE OF BIBLE STUDY.
Would you make the testimony meeting more edifying? Then see that more
of God's word is spoken. This can best
be accomplished by storing the heart
beforehand with the Gospel of Christ.
Meditate upon the portion of Scripture
selected for the next meeting.
Eeed daily, regularly and systematically upon it previously, until you aro
Oiled with the truth of it.
Then when you go into the meeting,
lei its fragrance till the souls of Others.
Persons who use perfumery carry the
fragrance wherever they go. So will
the Bible-studying young man be known
when he rises to speak, by the blessed
refreshnfenl coining from the name which
is as an ointment poured forth. First
having made bis own heart glad, he
gladdens the hearts of the rest. Let each
one come so prepared, then think what
a blessing would accompany such a meeting. Then you could in reality edify
one another.— Exchange.

MISSION STATISTICS.
Tho total number of llawaiians sent
out from these islands as missionaries up
to the present time, is sixty-eight; of
whom thirty-five were males, and thirtythree females.
Of the total sixty-eight, nine have been
sent bo the Caroline Islands, fifteen to
the Marshall Islands, twenty-six to tho
Gilbert Islands, and eighteen to the Marquesas Islands. Some of them have died
abroad, and others have returned to these
islandson account of ill health, or for other
reasons. There are now in the field,
seventeen Hawaiian Missionaries, six of
whom are at the Marquesas, and eleven
at the Gilbert Islands.

MICRONESIA.

In the article entitled "An Island Republic," published in the .S. P. Bulletin
of November 25th, and also in the editorial columns of the Jlaicuiian (Ittzette
of Dee. 22nd, we notice a few errors of
statement which need correction in the
interest of historical accuracy. The
somewhat extensive Island world comprised under the title of Micronesia has
hitherto been so little known to the civilized world that we are not at all surprised that errors of this kind should
creep into even the best and most reliable
newspapers.
In the Bulletin's article, we notice this
.statement: The Gilbert, Marshall, and
Caroline Islands have been civilized
through the efforts, principally, of missionaries who have been sent out from
the Hawaiian Islands."
This paragraph gives a wrong impression. The truth is as follows: The Gilbert and the Marshall Islands owe what
civilisation and christian light they have
to the combined efforts of Hawaiian and
American Missionaries; the former being
sent out from the Hawaiian islands, under the Hawaiian Hoard of Missions, and
the latter from the United States, under
the American Hoard of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions; both bodies cooperating in the work.
But the Caroline Islands have been occupied almost entirely by American missionaries only. During the first years of
the mission there, from 1852 to 1857,
there were nine Hawaiian missionaries
sent to tho Caroline Islands, five males
and four females. Ono died there, and
the rest all returned to their native land
after ,t trial of als>ut seven years, which
seemed to prove that llawaiians were
better adapted to the work in the Gilbert

A reputation tt now enjoys and most justly merits.

Slnco Elcctiicily has been applied for lighting pnrposes, all eforts of inventors have been directed to
construct n lamp for feuer.il domestic u-e. The reason
why tht« problem lias till now not been solved, ll that
none Of ltie inventor- could lid llieinselves of Hie idea
of-as lighting, and that all have adhered to ths »ysteai oi producing Ihe Electricitytn some central place,
or by lenre machinery. Instead of nrst laying down ths
principle thin a Lamp which should ever become genorally u»ef,d and popular, must be unliable,, like inul!
Lamp, and contain the general.ir of Elcciiicily in
itseir i c.. in the foot of the Lamp.
Taa Norman Klectrlcl Light Co has at last succeeded
in completely realizing ibis ideal of Electric Lighting,
