It has been said th it if there be a 'God,
He is dependent on the fixed Immutable
laws of nature ; and by others, that He
is enthroned bo high that He takes no

Thomas Laueie, himself a former
missionary of the American Board, is its
author, and I shall follow the sensible
order in which he has treated his subject.
Missionaries have contributed to geography and philology to such an extent
that these have been called ''missionary
sciences." As early as the 18th and 14th
centuries the Jesuits traveled widely,
and from the tirst their missionaries contributed to these branches. As the signal service stations of the United States
flash their daily observations to the
central office tit Washington, so 4,000
missionary stations, in every /one, and
from almost every land and island of the
world, have been supplying their Intelligent observation- to the scholars at home.
So great has been this supply that Rev.
Dr. w.m. Adams, of New York city,
I believe thai more has been
said :

their helpful notices of our work, and
the full and accurate reports of meetings
and lectures.
In conclusion 1 desire personally to
thank the members and friends of Ibis
Association for the warm-hearted welcome you have extended to me in your
homes and elsewhere, and for the cheerful cooperation given, as we have mutually sought to obey Him, who said:
Poliow me, and I will make you fishers
of men."
Gratefulfor tbe past, let us step out Into
the new year, with renewed and hearty
consecration to labor for young men;
trusting in the promised Presence, "Lo
I am with you alway even unto the end,"
remembering. "They that sow in tears
shall reap in joy," and that "in due season we shall reap if we faint not."

My subject to-night is: "The Sabbath
or Lord's Pay." Why should il he observed as a day for religious worship,
and rest from secular toil?
Tbe strongest ground upon which any
friend of the Sabbath or Best Day can
standi is the llirine eointnund.
We would give no other reason, hut
maintain constantly, la all men's hearing, Thus xttith tht Lord.
The Fourth Commandment summons us
lo worship, t<» keep the day holy, and to
rest from unnecessary work.
As long as we stand firm on the word
of God, we have Impregnable ground for
hallowing the Sabbath day.
The Sabbath is an ordinance of Creation. The first intimation that we have
of a rest-day is that spoken of at the
finishing of the work of creation by the
great Creator of all things.
We read In Genesis 2d: That the Heavens and the earth were tinished, and all
the hosts of them, and on the Seventh
day (hid tinished bis work which he had
made and be rested on the Seventh day
from all the works that he had made,
and (Jod blessed the Seventh day and
hallowed it.
The sunctitieation of the Sabbath, as a
day of rest, thus took place at the very
close of the cieative week. And when
we see how necessary the Sabbath is to
the whole nature of man, how indispensable to his highest well being, we are
compelled to lieliove that it must have
been given to man at the beginning, if
he was to be fully equipped for Ml mission
in the world.
Till! view expressed above, of tbe
passage (piloted from (Jenesis, is confirmed by the word remember," iv the
Fourth Commandment, coupled with the
reason given at the end of the ComFor in six days the Lord
mandment:
"
"
made heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that In them is and rested the Seventh
day. Wherefore the Lord blessed the
Sabbath day and hallowed It."
We do not discuss here, the question
which may arise as to the length of these
days of creation; but, any doubt as to
the observance of a Sabbath or rest day
before the time of the Jews, is set at rest
by the recent discovery of the meation
of a day of rest in the Assyrian account
of the creation, which is believed to antedate Moses by nearly (100 years, and
the further discovery of the actual observance of a Sabbath in Babylonia, long
before the time of the Mosaic Institution.
(See chapter (itb, Primitive Sabbath).
We need the Sabbath day for worship.
We have religious natures, and must
provide for them, and in no other way
can we so surely cultivate and .strengthen
them, at by making the Sabbath a day
for worship.
During the six work days man's
thoughts are mainly centered as they
should be, upon the worldly business
by which ho secures for himself and
those dependent upon him the necessaries of life, and he has little time for
aught else. The Sabbath day conies to
still with its touch the din of secular
life. It lifts the yoke of toil from weary
shoulders,and enables the spiritual senses
to unfold so that they can behold the
larger life. It may be .said that every
day should be a Sabbath to the Christian,
and that, therefore, no particular day is
required for special worship. Man is
a creature of habit.
if we give
to the regular duties of life their appointed times and seasons, bow much
more should those duties which underlie
and inspire all others demand of him a
specific and regular season for their perfiirintince.
We believe that the religious life of
the Sabbath should permeate the entire
week, hut it is only by hallowing the
Sabbath itself that a Sabbath blessing
can come to the entire week.
We need the Sabbath for rest, or relaxation from daily toil. Upon this
point there seems to he little or no difference of opinion.
Even those who deny the moral obligation of the Sabbath, do not hesitate lo
admit that it is a necessity of the xrcu/tir
life.
11
To the working man, therefore, the
Sabbath comes as a rest day and freighted
with blessing, it has also been abundantly proved that man can and will do
more work in six days than in seven,
taking the year through, and this is not
only true of men but of animals.
The Sabbat li is needed for society.
The drift is toward the (slavery of ceaseless toil. If our laboring men do not
have a rest day divinely assured to them,
they will more and more become the
bond servants of their employees.
Blackstone says:"The keeping of
one day in seven wholly us a. time of relaxation and refreshment as well as public worship is of inestimable value to the
state, considered merely as a civil institution. It harmonizes by the help of
conversation and society the manners of
the laboring classes, which would otherwise degenerate into a sordid poverty
and selfishness of spirit."
It enables the industrious workman to
resume his occupation in the coming week with health and cheerfulness; it impresses on the mind of
the people that sense of duty to
Qod so necessary to make them good
citizens, but which would yet lie worn
out and effaced by an unremitting continuance of labor without any stated
time of recalling them to the worship of
their Maker.
Lord Macauley says: << We are not
poorer but richer because we have
through many ages, rested trom our
labor one day in seven. That day is not
lost while industry is suspended, while
the plow lies in the furrow, while the
exchange is silent, while no smoke ascends from the factory.
A process is going on quite as important to the wealth of tbe nation as any
process which is performed on busy days.
Man, the mac bine of machines, a
machine compared with which the
contrivances of WATT» and Ahkwrioht,
are worthless, is repairing and winding
up, so that he returns to his labors on
the Monday with clearer intellect, with
livelier spirits, and with renewed corporeal vigor.
If the Sunday had not been observed
as a day of rest, but the axe, the spade,
the anvil and the loom bad been at work
all the days during these centuries, no
doubt we should have been at this moment a poorer people and a loss civilized
people than we are.
Those countries that have made the
most rapid increase in material prosperity have been those that have the most
strictly observed the Sabbath as a day of
rest and worship.
An American orator says : I am no
fanatic I hope as to Sunday, but I look
abroad over tbe map of popular freedom
in the world and it does not seem
accidental that Scotland, England and
ihe United States, the countries which
best observe tbe Sabbath, constitute almost the entire map of safe popular
Such men as John Stuart Mill and
Professor Tyndtile, while denying the
Divine authority of the Sabbath, recognize the benefit to man of the rest day,
and believe iv the maintenance of Sunday laws within certain limits.
They would maintain Sunday laws to
give to the laboring man a relief for one
day iv seven from the grinding toil of
the other six.
Tbe law of rest is quite as imperative as tbe law of exercise. Night and
day teach us the necessity of alternate
lalsir and repose, but experience shows
that sleep does not fully restore the physical balance, and this can only be accom- government.
Where we find the Sabbath neglected,
plished by frequent and regular times of
we surely find social insanity manifestrest.

In constant revolution, outbreaks and restlessness.
Ordered liberty needs the Sabbath
without It the state becomes the combined prey of either the tyrant or demagogue, is forever falling into one of the
extremes of despotism or anarchy.
We need the Sabbath as a rest day for
the home. Unless the laboring classes
are granted one (lay la seven to be with
their wives and children, it will soon
come to pass that the home of such
will be to the father but little more
than a restaurant and lodging-house.
The family is the first form of government, and without the family and home
we can have no wellordered government.
Without the Sabbath the home in its
highest and best form can be said not to
exist.
Religion Is the guardian of the family
relation, and without the Sabbath or
hallowed day that relation would
gradually be destroyed. The Sabbath
and the family go up and down tigether,
and those countries having the best
homes and the family relation the
strongest are those where the Sabbath is
best observed.
It is well to note that as the Sabbath
observance declines, so the family bond
becomes weakened. This was true In
France during the Revolution where one
day in ten was set apart as a rest but not
a hallowed day, and it is certainly
observable in the large cities of the
United States and Great Britian with the
growing disposition to destroy the
sanctity of the Sabbath and making it
for many simply a day of pleasure and
selfish gratification, without a thought
given to Him who made the Sabbath
for man" and not •< man for the Sabbath."
Not made for his gratification, for his
selfishness, to use as he pleases; hut
made for his benefit, his improvement, to
meet the high wants of his nature.
Strangers coming to Honolulu have
remarked upon the general observance
of the Sabbath, the quietness of the day,
and the rest from toil and business. To
those long resident here, the contrast
between now and a quarter of a century

If persisted in will most certainly result
in the entire destruction of the Sabbath
even as a rest day : for just as soon as
the employers of labor, who care nothing
for the divine command, find that the
public sentiment on the maintenance of
the Sabbath Is lowered they will find
work for their employees for the seven
days, and as remarked before, the laboring man will become more and more the
bond-servant of the employer.
Honolulu has a Sunday law, and although as stated by one of thedaily papers
•'its violation is tacitly winked at on
steamer days," yet it Is to be hoped that
the suggestions of said paper will not be
acquiesced in by the Christian people of
Honolulu, but instead the Christian

sentiment of this city and country will
be so clearly and strongly expressed
against the disposition on tbe part of
any in the community to lower the tone
of, or destroy the sanctity of tbe Sabbath
that no material change will be made in
the present law.
This day must be general, the same to
all, arresting business and worldly cares
throughout the community and giving to
all an opportunity at the same time to
address themselves to the service of
Ood. If wo maintain such a day here
God's blessing will rest upon us, but so
surely as we begin to desecrate and
abandon the Sabbath, social decay will
follow.

Islands of the sea.
ADDUKSS OK THK PRESIDENT ELECT
After singing No. 72, Mr. Atherton
introduced Mr. W. A. Bowen, the President elect, who took tbe chair and
spoke briefly as follows :
It is probably very greatly a matter of
satisfaction to all concerned, not only to
the members of the Association, but to
their friends as well, who have gathered
here this evening, as indeed it is a great
satistaction to myself, to know that it
has never been the custom of this
Association to expect anything like a
formal address on the part of the incoming President.
But even if such were the case, it is
to-night our especial relief, that, after
listening to the most excellent address
which we have bad from tbe retiring
President, and to the very comprehensive report of our General Secretary,
and to the full report of the Treasurer,
as well as to the ample reports of the
chairmen of the various standing committees, we all so unanimously feel, as
we do, that anything further in the line
of speech-making is quite unnecessary.
But rather if we have anything to say,
the more quickly it is said, the better.
As the object perhaps of all inaugural
addresses Is to express to the public the
aim, or plan of operations, or policy, if
you please, of the new administration, it
may be well to remind tiie Association,
right here, that there is no new administration, nor any new policy. For five
members of the Board of Directors this
year were upon the Board last year, and
it is undoubtedly their purpose to continue to transact the business of the
Association in the same general way as
in the past.
As to the new policy, we have none.
We have only to point to the aim of
our organization, that of helping young
men, and urge that so long as our aim
remains as it is, our policy must ever be
the same. Yes, lam especially glad
that with the change of Presidents,
there is and can be no change In policy.
And now I will read the list of committees, as your new Board of Directors
has chosen to appoint them.
But before reading them let me say
that it is not the intention to limit the
privilege of work to these committees.
Why, we should all take a lesson, each
individual member of the Association to
himself, from the case cited in the report of the Temperance Committee this
evening, of a man, who though not on
any committee last year, still felt it his
privilege and duty to do his best, and as
a result personally secured so many
signers to the pledge. Yes, this one man
ought to lie an example and an encouragement to every Individual member of the
Association. By no means do we purpose
to limit any mail. Bather do we urge
upon each and every one to hold the
banner of Christ just as high as lie can
carry it. The object of these committees
is simply to organize effort. The committees are as follows:

The remainder of the evening was

was greatly enlivened by an abundance
of delicious ice cream and cake.

Prayer is a creature's Strength,

his very breath and being it is the golden key that can open the wicket of mercy ; it is the magic sound that says to
faith, 'so be it'; it is the slender nerve
that moves the muscles of omnipotence."
It has been said th it if there be a 'God,
He is dependent on the fixed Immutable
laws of nature ; and by others, that He
is enthroned bo high that He takes no
notice of poor mortals. Bui to every one
-who from a personal experience knows
the efficacy of prayer, there Is a Qod aad

changes ; or that (Jod is a despot whoso

Thomas Laueie, himself a former
missionary of the American Board, is its
author, and I shall follow the sensible
order in which he has treated his subject.
Missionaries have contributed to geography and philology to such an extent
that these have been called ''missionary
sciences." As early as the 18th and 14th
centuries the Jesuits traveled widely,
and from the tirst their missionaries contributed to these branches. As the signal service stations of the United States
flash their daily observations to the
central office tit Washington, so 4,000
missionary stations, in every /one, and
from almost every land and island of the
world, have been supplying their Intelligent observation- to the scholars at home.
So great has been this supply that Rev.
Dr. w.m. Adams, of New York city,
I believe thai more has been
said :

hi: pout.
My subject to-night is: "The Sabbath
or Lord's Pay." Why should il he observed as a day for religious worship,
and rest from secular toil?
Tbe strongest ground upon which any
friend of the Sabbath or Best Day can
standi is the llirine eointnund.
We would give no other reason, hut
maintain constantly, la all men's hearing, Thus xttith tht Lord.
The Fourth Commandment summons us
lo worship, t<» keep the day holy, and to
rest from unnecessary work.
As long as we stand firm on the word
of God, we have Impregnable ground for
hallowing the Sabbath day.
The Sabbath is an ordinance of Creation. The first intimation that we have
of a rest-day is that spoken of at the
finishing of the work of creation by the
great Creator of all things.
We read In Genesis 2d: That the Heavens and the earth were tinished, and all
the hosts of them, and on the Seventh
day (hid tinished bis work which he had
made and be rested on the Seventh day
from all the works that he had made,
and (Jod blessed the Seventh day and
hallowed it.
The sunctitieation of the Sabbath, as a
day of rest, thus took place at the very
close of the cieative week. And when
we see how necessary the Sabbath is to
the whole nature of man, how indispensable to his highest well being, we are
compelled to lieliove that it must have
been given to man at the beginning, if
he was to be fully equipped for Ml mission
in the world.
Till! view expressed above, of tbe
passage (piloted from (Jenesis, is confirmed by the word remember," iv the
Fourth Commandment, coupled with the
reason given at the end of the ComFor in six days the Lord
mandment:
"
"
made heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that In them is and rested the Seventh
day. Wherefore the Lord blessed the
Sabbath day and hallowed It."
We do not discuss here, the question
which may arise as to the length of these
days of creation; but, any doubt as to
the observance of a Sabbath or rest day
before the time of the Jews, is set at rest
by the recent discovery of the meation
of a day of rest in the Assyrian account
of the creation, which is believed to antedate Moses by nearly (100 years, and
the further discovery of the actual observance of a Sabbath in Babylonia, long
before the time of the Mosaic Institution.
(See chapter (itb, Primitive Sabbath).
We need the Sabbath day for worship.
We have religious natures, and must
provide for them, and in no other way
can we so surely cultivate and .strengthen
them, at by making the Sabbath a day
for worship.
During the six work days man's
thoughts are mainly centered as they
should be, upon the worldly business
by which ho secures for himself and
those dependent upon him the necessaries of life, and he has little time for
aught else. The Sabbath day conies to
still with its touch the din of secular
life. It lifts the yoke of toil from weary
shoulders,and enables the spiritual senses
to unfold so that they can behold the
larger life. It may be .said that every
day should be a Sabbath to the Christian,
and that, therefore, no particular day is
required for special worship. Man is
a creature of habit.
if we give
to the regular duties of life their appointed times and seasons, bow much
more should those duties which underlie
and inspire all others demand of him a
specific and regular season for their perfiirintince.
We believe that the religious life of
the Sabbath should permeate the entire
week, hut it is only by hallowing the
Sabbath itself that a Sabbath blessing
can come to the entire week.
We need the Sabbath for rest, or relaxation from daily toil. Upon this
point there seems to he little or no difference of opinion.
Even those who deny the moral obligation of the Sabbath, do not hesitate lo
admit that it is a necessity of the xrcu/tir
life.
11
To the working man, therefore, the
Sabbath comes as a rest day and freighted
with blessing, it has also been abundantly proved that man can and will do
more work in six days than in seven,
taking the year through, and this is not
only true of men but of animals.
The Sabbat li is needed for society.
The drift is toward the (slavery of ceaseless toil. If our laboring men do not
have a rest day divinely assured to them,
they will more and more become the
bond servants of their employees.
Blackstone says:"The keeping of
one day in seven wholly us a. time of relaxation and refreshment as well as public worship is of inestimable value to the
state, considered merely as a civil institution. It harmonizes by the help of
conversation and society the manners of
the laboring classes, which would otherwise degenerate into a sordid poverty
and selfishness of spirit."
It enables the industrious workman to
resume his occupation in the coming week with health and cheerfulness; it impresses on the mind of
the people that sense of duty to
Qod so necessary to make them good
citizens, but which would yet lie worn
out and effaced by an unremitting continuance of labor without any stated
time of recalling them to the worship of
their Maker.
Lord Macauley says: << We are not
poorer but richer because we have
through many ages, rested trom our
labor one day in seven. That day is not
lost while industry is suspended, while
the plow lies in the furrow, while the
exchange is silent, while no smoke ascends from the factory.
A process is going on quite as important to the wealth of tbe nation as any
process which is performed on busy days.
Man, the mac bine of machines, a
machine compared with which the
contrivances of WATT» and Ahkwrioht,
are worthless, is repairing and winding
up, so that he returns to his labors on
the Monday with clearer intellect, with
livelier spirits, and with renewed corporeal vigor.
If the Sunday had not been observed
as a day of rest, but the axe, the spade,
the anvil and the loom bad been at work
all the days during these centuries, no
doubt we should have been at this moment a poorer people and a loss civilized
people than we are.
Those countries that have made the
most rapid increase in material prosperity have been those that have the most
strictly observed the Sabbath as a day of
rest and worship.
An American orator says : I am no
fanatic I hope as to Sunday, but I look
abroad over tbe map of popular freedom
in the world and it does not seem
accidental that Scotland, England and
ihe United States, the countries which
best observe tbe Sabbath, constitute almost the entire map of safe popular
Such men as John Stuart Mill and
Professor Tyndtile, while denying the
Divine authority of the Sabbath, recognize the benefit to man of the rest day,
and believe iv the maintenance of Sunday laws within certain limits.
They would maintain Sunday laws to
give to the laboring man a relief for one
day iv seven from the grinding toil of
the other six.
Tbe law of rest is quite as imperative as tbe law of exercise. Night and
day teach us the necessity of alternate
lalsir and repose, but experience shows
that sleep does not fully restore the physical balance, and this can only be accom- government.
Where we find the Sabbath neglected,
plished by frequent and regular times of
we surely find social insanity manifestrest.

In constant revolution, outbreaks and restlessness.
Ordered liberty needs the Sabbath
without It the state becomes the combined prey of either the tyrant or demagogue, is forever falling into one of the
extremes of despotism or anarchy.
We need the Sabbath as a rest day for
the home. Unless the laboring classes
are granted one (lay la seven to be with
their wives and children, it will soon
come to pass that the home of such
will be to the father but little more
than a restaurant and lodging-house.
The family is the first form of government, and without the family and home
we can have no wellordered government.
Without the Sabbath the home in its
highest and best form can be said not to
exist.
Religion Is the guardian of the family
relation, and without the Sabbath or
hallowed day that relation would
gradually be destroyed. The Sabbath
and the family go up and down tigether,
and those countries having the best
homes and the family relation the
strongest are those where the Sabbath is
best observed.
It is well to note that as the Sabbath
observance declines, so the family bond
becomes weakened. This was true In
France during the Revolution where one
day in ten was set apart as a rest but not
a hallowed day, and it is certainly
observable in the large cities of the
United States and Great Britian with the
growing disposition to destroy the
sanctity of the Sabbath and making it
for many simply a day of pleasure and
selfish gratification, without a thought
given to Him who made the Sabbath
for man" and not •< man for the Sabbath."
Not made for his gratification, for his
selfishness, to use as he pleases; hut
made for his benefit, his improvement, to
meet the high wants of his nature.
Strangers coming to Honolulu have
remarked upon the general observance
of the Sabbath, the quietness of the day,
and the rest from toil and business. To
those long resident here, the contrast
between now and a quarter of a century

If persisted in will most certainly result
in the entire destruction of the Sabbath
even as a rest day : for just as soon as
the employers of labor, who care nothing
for the divine command, find that the
public sentiment on the maintenance of
the Sabbath Is lowered they will find
work for their employees for the seven
days, and as remarked before, the laboring man will become more and more the
bond-servant of the employer.
Honolulu has a Sunday law, and although as stated by one of thedaily papers
•'its violation is tacitly winked at on
steamer days," yet it Is to be hoped that
the suggestions of said paper will not be
acquiesced in by the Christian people of
Honolulu, but instead the Christian

sentiment of this city and country will
be so clearly and strongly expressed
against the disposition on tbe part of
any in the community to lower the tone
of, or destroy the sanctity of tbe Sabbath
that no material change will be made in
the present law.
This day must be general, the same to
all, arresting business and worldly cares
throughout the community and giving to
all an opportunity at the same time to
address themselves to the service of
Ood. If wo maintain such a day here
God's blessing will rest upon us, but so
surely as we begin to desecrate and
abandon the Sabbath, social decay will
follow.

Islands of the sea.
ADDUKSS OK THK PRESIDENT ELECT
After singing No. 72, Mr. Atherton
introduced Mr. W. A. Bowen, the President elect, who took tbe chair and
spoke briefly as follows :
It is probably very greatly a matter of
satisfaction to all concerned, not only to
the members of the Association, but to
their friends as well, who have gathered
here this evening, as indeed it is a great
satistaction to myself, to know that it
has never been the custom of this
Association to expect anything like a
formal address on the part of the incoming President.
But even if such were the case, it is
to-night our especial relief, that, after
listening to the most excellent address
which we have bad from tbe retiring
President, and to the very comprehensive report of our General Secretary,
and to the full report of the Treasurer,
as well as to the ample reports of the
chairmen of the various standing committees, we all so unanimously feel, as
we do, that anything further in the line
of speech-making is quite unnecessary.
But rather if we have anything to say,
the more quickly it is said, the better.
As the object perhaps of all inaugural
addresses Is to express to the public the
aim, or plan of operations, or policy, if
you please, of the new administration, it
may be well to remind tiie Association,
right here, that there is no new administration, nor any new policy. For five
members of the Board of Directors this
year were upon the Board last year, and
it is undoubtedly their purpose to continue to transact the business of the
Association in the same general way as
in the past.
As to the new policy, we have none.
We have only to point to the aim of
our organization, that of helping young
men, and urge that so long as our aim
remains as it is, our policy must ever be
the same. Yes, lam especially glad
that with the change of Presidents,
there is and can be no change In policy.
And now I will read the list of committees, as your new Board of Directors
has chosen to appoint them.
But before reading them let me say
that it is not the intention to limit the
privilege of work to these committees.
Why, we should all take a lesson, each
individual member of the Association to
himself, from the case cited in the report of the Temperance Committee this
evening, of a man, who though not on
any committee last year, still felt it his
privilege and duty to do his best, and as
a result personally secured so many
signers to the pledge. Yes, this one man
ought to lie an example and an encouragement to every Individual member of the
Association. By no means do we purpose
to limit any mail. Bather do we urge
upon each and every one to hold the
banner of Christ just as high as lie can
carry it. The object of these committees
is simply to organize effort. The committees are as follows:

The remainder of the evening was

was greatly enlivened by an abundance
of delicious ice cream and cake.
