THANKSGIVING DAY.
The day, which of all the days in the
year, brings together the past and tho
present, the days that now are and thoso
that have passed away, is Thanksgiving
Day. It is the day which tells us what
we are, what we have and what we
hope for. It hills us acknowledge that
all is of Qod, the great Giver; not to
thank our stars or think how lucky wo
have been, hut to reeogni/.o that every
good gift is of Ond's reincinhriinee and
that to Him we should render on tho
altar of grutilude the ohlation of grateful hearts. "There may he Steps, fat Mi

breeze did it; if the noble, self-denying
act coming from a loving heart did it,
yet it was G,,ii tlmt did it all! Yes, all
gratitude runs up to Him. There is hut
one Giver of all good !"
It was therefore ;i duty at once natural
and .delightful on Thanksgiving Day to
"enter into tho Sanctuary with thanksgiving and into the Divine Courts with
praise;" invited by the President of the
United States and directed hy the Impulses of our hearts to offer a tribute of
praise and gratitude lo tin; Hestower of

THE VOLCANO.
BY THE REV. E. P.BAKER.

Ilaleniauniau is what the Volcano at
present is, instead of Kilauea, which is
what it was, a few months ago, using
the term Halcinaumau to denote the
chasm left by the sinking out of sight
of the liquid fire, constituting the Ilalemaumau lake, the fulling in of the cones,
cliffs and pahoehoe formations, .surrounding the lake. The spectacle, now meeting the view is that of a crater within
a crater, the entire volcanic action being
confined to the inside crater, Ilalemaumau, which is three miles in circumference, while the outside crater Kilauea is
In the
nine miles is circumlerency.
middle of the inside crater is a hill
made up of debris, through the interstices of which, sulphurus smoke
is pouring upwanl in dense masses,
while around this hill on three sides,
and constituting the floor of the inside
crater, is a ring-shaped stretch of fresh
pahoehoe, this ring-shaped area of pahoehoe having a break in it and so
failing to reach quite round the hill, Hie
surface of it being also dotted with
blowing cones, which declare that not
fur lielow is a stream of liquid lire. The
interval where the ring-shaped stretch
of pahoehoe fails to quite encircle the
hill, is occupied by a small lake of molten lava in violent ebullition; the lake
being fed by two streams proceeding
from a point on the side of the hill
directly opposite itself in position and
higher up than itself in level; and
flowing also underneath the fresh pahoehoe, the one, hall-way round, or neurly
so, on one side of the hill, and the other
half-way round, or nearly so, on the
other side.
A tunnel-shaped chasm, as Halemaumau necessarily came to be, by reason of
the falling in of the sides all round,
when the liquid lava sunk away and
disappeared, and the utmost bottom
being the part of it, which the depart-

iiig lire was the last to leave, the returning lire made its first appearance at a
point considerably one side of and much
higher up than the utmost bottom; from
which it came to piss, that, the debris

disposed *to regard them as the consequent "following upon a .somewhat
complex series of antecedents ; two
very prominent members in the
series of causes that wrought the result in question, being the only building up of lapili mounds and embankments by volcanic action, and the
subsequent furrowing of these previous
formations by land-slides and washing of
them by rains.
One of the Hilea hills has a precipitous
rock-front facing Mokai, and is clearly a
headland left by land-slides on each side,
while the two others seem to be lapili

THE FRIEND.

December, 1886.

when the Sunday Schools of the Districts of Kona and Kau entertain the
Sunday Schools of Kohala and charter a
steamer to carry them around, Kohala
must return the compliment and out do
them if possible.
No doubt some of
the singing may be sweet and inspiring and some of the recitations display memory and faithful drill, but
to crowd ou an inter-island steamer
600 persons of both sexes and of all
ages and among them many of decidedly bad character, is an experiment
too dangerous to health and morals to he
counter-balanced hy whatever good then
may come out of it. But, for such Exhibitions, money can he raised Without
stint by those who let white people pay
for their own children's education in the
seminaries and the industries of whole
districts among the llawaiians stand
still while these are going on.
These Sunday Schools should be under
more strict supervision—many of them
have superintendents of corrupt morals.
But power and fluency of exposition of
the Scriptures cover a multitude of sins
with lliein. 1 know of a superintendent
of a Sunday School on this island who
distributed gin on election day to the
electors, many of them members of his
Sunday School, and kept his position !
This leads mo to the great blot upon
Hawaiian Ch.istianity—the divorce between morals mid religion. This is also
the crying evil among the colored people
of America. It is not peculiar to the
Hawaiians. It takes ages of enlightineiit to impress upon a people the value
of consistency and sincerity.
When
people in high station among the Hawaiians act as if they thought that an
all seeing God can be propitiated by generous contributions of money for church
building brought amid the glitter of
soldiers and tho crash of loud music and
that He will thus be induced to pass over
with indulgence the corruption of the
daily life, there is need of some Samuel
to rise and say "Behold to obey is better
than sacrifice and to hearken than the
fat of ranis."
This can hardly be
expected from the native pastors who
are so little above the average of their
congregations that they do not have
courage of character nor independence
in worldly means sufficient to make
it possible for them to be outspoken
against the sins that they see in
their people and in.mm over in secret.
In this connection I would say that it
lias seemed to me a mistake that the
missionary fathers accustomed themselves to place so much importance upon
the amounts contributed at monthly concerts as a test of christian life. Even now
this test, if it is a test, makes a good
showing for the Hawaiian Churches
with their waning population. Last year
the forty-two churches reporting show
$8,40;' collected for pastoral support and
$4,247.57 for missionary purposes, and
including church erection and miscellaneous, fifty-eight Churches contributed
a grand total of $28,142.6!) which gives

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE PRESENT
CONDITION OF HAWAIIAN

CHRISTIANITY.

BYA.F. JUDD.

{Bead at Fort-tit. Church, A'oc 3, 1886.)
The native Hawaiian Christian is not
by nature skeptical, lie has no difficulties with the Mosaic, account of tho creation or with Jonah's whale or with any

of the miracles before or after Christ.
His childlike nature -accepts them as
lie is not troubled with the doctrue,
trine of future retribution nor in regard
to the duration of future punishment,
lie takes no interest in Kenan, Strauss
or Herbert Spencer. Tlie previous religious belief of his ancestors makes it
easy for him to believe in a God, allpowerful and and all-seeing. If in Some
cases, when in extremis hecalls to his succor other gotls, this does not prevent
him from coining back, when the peril
is over, to the worship of Jehovah.
In all my varied experience with them
I never even heard of an Hawaiian who
was an avowed Athiest or an Infidel
upon any of the cardinal doctrines of
orthodox belief.
It is true that the Hawaiians are fond
of discussions. They talk as naturally
as they breathe. They are horn orators
and with mellifluous tongue and easy
gestures delight in nothing so much as
a disputation. But generally they aim
not to gain light and to vindicate the
truth but to get a temporary victory
over an adversary.
These disputations are not only profitless but in most cases uro very destructive of spirituality.
1 remember once to have landed on
Sunday at Hookena, Kouu, Hawaii, to
speak to the people. I was expected
and the Church was full. In the Sunday school exercises previous to the hour
of divine service, a general discussion in
loud tones was going on on the question
as to what was the "unpardonable siu."
The service began and 1 tried my best
to enforce some vital and practical truth
of the Gospel—hut my audience though
respectful were preoccupied and 1 could
not rouse them into with sympathy with
me Of my theme. As soon as Church was
over they began again the old discussion
and t oniinued it in little knots all over
the village.
They are foud of display. The lawyer
who can talk the loudest, the most
fiuently and the longest is the best lawyer. The preacher is judged by the
same standard.
The present rage among them is the
Sunday School Exhibitions, and they
have of Into MMtafctJ proportions that
are alarii.ing to friends of religion. A
spirit of rivalry lias been developed and

9
an average for each of the 5,387 members the sum of over $5.
More than
one instance has occurred when native

pastors have undertaken the work of
their
discipline anil purification of
Church roll only to he met with iioycotting sn thorough that the task was given
up. One of these Church societies has
lately built a new church edifice and
named it, not after any Christian grace
or saint but called it the "Seventh
Heaven" In honor of the King who is
the seventh King of Hawaii.
The llawaiians have a strong aversion
to incurring the enmity or opposition of
their fellows for principle's sake.
When matters of discipline come up
in the Association of Ministers it is very
rare that any of them will come to the
front as accusers—though the facts of the
error to be corrected may be well known
to them. If foreigners move in tho
matter and the accused seems likely to
he in the minority the discipline may le
proceeded with: —otherwise not.
We see among them much of hospitality, sympathy for Ihe distressed, readiness to forgive and hut little of that
spirit which the Muster had when lie
drove the moneychangers from the temple with a whip of .small cords. A
hardened criminal may have served out
his term of imprisonment and come out
to he received among his friends and acquaintances as if there was no stain upon
him. I have seen a high officer of the
Government walk, hand In hand, with
a man who had just before been convicted of embezzlement of a serious
character. To say that a hud example
is set the Hawaiian by those in power,
by elevating men to otllce whose characters are unfit is a very mild statement.
It is so completely demoralizing in its
tendency, that unless changed, no incentives can be held out to Hawaiian
youths to be moral, sober and honest
as qualifications for offices requiring
trustworthiness and character, but the
prizes hereafter will come to the most
subservient. These islanders made such
rapid progress in civilization and Christianity because their Chiefs adopted what
the missionary fathers taught them.
Kaahumanu led them into the Church
by thousands. Such an impressionable
people are likely to he as easily led back
into heathenism by the great among
them now.
It is difficult to describe the hold
which superstition and heathenism still
have upon them.
In a conversation
with a Hawaiian pastor and his wife
they both assured me that a shark would
never bite a human being except as punishment for some broken vow or promise
—oftentimes of the most trifling character. In trying to convince them of the
unreasonableness of this belief, which
was sincere and verified by their own
experience, I was answered, "God made
the whale to swallow Jonah as punishment for disobedience and has He not
still the sauie power?" Sudden deaths
and disasters are generally believed by

THE AMERICAN BOARD.
The annual meeting of the American
I Board at Dcs Moines, Oct. 6—lo, was a
remarkable one in many respects. It
was remarkable for the place in which it
met, a city of 40,0(10 people without an
open saloon; for the large attendance
considering that Dcs Moines is 175 miles
j west of the Mississippi river, the farthest west that the Board has ever met;
for the great debate on the question of
sending out as missionaries those who
hold the Andover theory that those who
have never had the historic Christ preI sented to them in this life will have
; Him presented in the life to come,
which lasted for one whole day; in its
presiding officer, Dr. Mark Hopkins,
and his influence upon the meeting.
In the debate upon the Andover
theory, which came up in connection
With the report of the Home Secretary,
Dr. Ai.den, Drs. Boardman, Goodwin,
Nobi.k, Ai.den and others spoke in
defense of the Home Secretary's policy,
while Drs. Eqbjcrt and Newman
Smyth c, Abiiott,
Ward and Sec.
Clark, opposed. While the debate
was able and the feeling deep and intense, yet it was wholly courteous and
Christian. When the vote was taken
the result was really a victory for both
parties; the opponents of the Andover
theory by a decisive vote of 48 to 22
approved of Dr. Alden's policy and
definitely condemned the doctrine of a
future probation as "divisive and pervasive;" they also displaced Prof. E. C.
Smytiik from the Prudential Committee.
But on the other hand under the lead of
Dr. Mark Hopkins, the following resolution was adopted:
The Board recommends to the Prudential Committee to consider in dilficult cases, turning upon doctrinal views
of candidates for missionary service, the
expediency of calling u council of the
churches, to be constituted in some manner which may be determined by the

i

"

good judgment of the Committee, to

pass upon the theological soundness of
the candidate."
A resolution looking to the return of
Mr. lli'ME to his field in India was also
adopted, both of which were victories
for Andover. The result of this great
debate was not a compromise but a
divided victory. It was also an undivided
victory for peace and good will, as those
who differed most widely, were not embittered but met as brethren afterward in
the most cordial Christian spirit. This
meeting settles the question that there
will be no division either in the Congregational Chilrches or in the Board.
Any duty neglected prepares us for a
new disobedience—any sin committed
paves the way for fresh transgression;
but duties done, and temptations resisted, fit us for new victories in the fight of
faith, and greater advancement in the
heavenly course.
