We had hoped in this number to give
in full the five addresses made at the
services of Recognition and Installation
of the Central Union Church. Lack of
space forbids this, but we are glad to
say that they will be incorporated in a
pamphlet, shortly to be issued, containing the other related matters of interest.
We feel no need of apologizing for
again dividing the admirable resume of
temperance history in Hawaii by Mrs.
Whitney. We cannot afford to expend
so much rich matter on our readers all
in one banquet. It admirably helps
to maintain the well-earned reputation
of The Friend as a repository of Hawaiian and Pacific historical matter.
THE AMERICAN BOARD AT
SPRINGFIELD.
The majority of our readers are probably acquainted with the painful controversy which rendered the annual
meeting of the A. B. C. F. M. at
Springfield, Massachusetts, a season
of very trying contention, instead, as
heretofore, one of happy fellowship and
enthusiastic kindling of missionary purpose. We do not mean here even-to
name the subject of disagreement, nor
to indicate to which side we may chance
to lean as to the issue before the Board.
It was a new phase of the ever recurring
controversies between that necessary
and most serviceable party in the Church
of Christ who are conservative and who
earnestly withstand changes that are
possibly pernicious heresies, and that
other not less important party whoeagerly adopt what seems to be new and important light from God's word, but who
may be too incautious in their zeal for
progress. To borrow from Evolution,
persistence of type and variation of form
are both indispensable to desirable results. The Church can dispense with
neither the Conservative nor the Progressive, although the one may some-
times be too peremptory, and the other
too headstrong. In the difficulty which
now so painfully occupies the minds of
the Congregational Churches and of the
Prudential Committee, it seems clear to
us, after reading much that has been
said on all sides of the question, that
both parties are equally in earnest to
be guided by the Holy Scriptures,
and -are equally loyal to the Lord
Jesus Christ, and the work of his kingdom. Why so large and devout and
highly cultured and able a body of Christian men have in God's Providence been
permitted to get into so active a variance
with one another, is not easy now to
discern; but we do not doubt that like
many other apparent evils this one will
ultimate in great good to Christ's Church,
and to the cause of the Evangelization
of the world.
One possible good suggests itself. No
intelligent Christian is ignorant that the
Evangelical churches of America have
for more than a generation been almost
insensibly drifting in the direction of
materially discrediting the old severe
doctrines of the fathers as to the future
condition of sinful men, even as their
sister churches in England and Europe
are far gone over. Where do we now
hear the old positions boldly and freely
taken in our pulpits? Now it may be
that the time has come when our
churches are to know their own minds,
and settle what they do or do not believe on these grave questions, and what
their ministers shall preach, and not be
silent upon { Certainly the existing contest in the Board is giving a resistless
impulse to a thorough discussion of
these questions, and is awakening a
spirit of most earnest inquiry in a great
multitude of Christian minds which have
hitherto evaded taking issue upon them.
Indeed, it looks as if our Evangelical
churches had entered upon a period of
sharp contention on these great topics,
in which they will need the highest
degree of brotherly love and forbearance.
1887.

Another possible benefit has suggested
itself, although we may be thought rash
and even divisive and harmful to name
such a thing. May not the time have
come when the enlargement of the missions needs not only more money and
more men, but when, also, more directing
agencies are needed? Is a division of
the missionary activity of the zealous
and wealthy Congregational churches
into direction by two Boards instead of
only one a thing to be dreaded as an
evil? There are said to be thousands of
young students of both sexes pledging
themselves to the foreign work among
the heathen. It seems evident that a
rapid expansion of missionary agencies
is at hand, commensurate possibly with
the enormous expansion of openings to
reach the heathen tribes of Africa and
India, and the "ungospelled" provinces
of China. Perhaps more Boards arc
needed to provide for all these workers.
And it may be that in answering the
many prayers of His people to "send
forth laborers" the Lord of the harvest
is now just decentralizing and pulling
apart his people a little, in order to compel them to multiply agencies, and not
continue to work everything through one
organization, which may become cumbrous and overgrown. Division and
separation is often the best thing—it is
almost the law o£rgrowth and expansion. When we cover a lawn with
grass, we divide the sods and set them
apart. The gardener cuts his choice
plants into bits in order to multiply
them. Centralization is more to be
feared than division and independence.
We feel like saying, dear and honored
American Board, and beloved Congregational churches of America, do not be
afraid to divide, if you are at all out of
accord —separate your agencies by all
means. You of the grand old Board,
go on; increase your contributions, and
push your work. You who are unhappy because your noble devoted young
men cannot pass the doctrinal tests imposed, send them out yourselves—it is a
simple matter of business in the light of
gathered experience. Prove what we
are sure is true, that the new phase of
doctrine has by no means "cut the nerve

of missions." For ourselves, there is
nothing we should like better than to
see a splendid young Board at once set
to work and sending out its men and
women into the great harvest, with a
strong and liberal constituency. How
emulous the two Boards would be each
to do the most and best work for the
Lord and King. Would not this be a
grand competition that would double
and treble the missionary activity of the
churches!
THE CENTRAL UNION CHURCH
ORGANIZED.
The proposed union of the Fort Street
and Bethel Union Churches was carried
into effect on the evening of November
13th, at services- in the Fort Street edifice, when the separate memberships of
the two Churches formally entered into
mutual covenant, and constituted the
new organization under the name of the
Central Union Church of Honolulu.
The exercises were as follows:—1.
Preliminary services of worship. 2. Sermon by Key. Dr. Beckwith: "The
Church the Body of Christ." 3. Historical statements by the stated clerks
of the two Churches. 4. Reading of
the two letters dismissing the members
of each Church, and of names of others
uniting by letter and on profession. 5.
Pronouncing in concert of the Articles
of Faith and of the Covenant of the new
Church by the whole membership standing. 6. The Moderator declares the
Central Union Church of Honolulu to
be now validly constituted by the solemn
covenant of its members. 7. Prayer led
by Rev. W. B. Oleson. 8. Doxology.
9. Benediction by Rev. H. Bingham.
On this great occasion the house was
thoroughly filled, the membership present and joining in the exercises, being
probably over three hundred. These
all seemed to deeply feel it to be a
sacred, solemn and joyful act, when
covenant with each Other and the Great
Head was entered into with united voices.
May we not confidently trust, that in
accordance with our Lord's promise,
what was at that moment bound on
earth was also bound in heaven that
the obligations and privileges then assumed received the Divine sanction and
blessing ?
On Sunday, the 20th, the new Church
united in the morning in the Lord's
Supper. At 2:30 P. m. a council convened, composed of pastors and delegates, as follows :
Hilo Foreign Church—Rev. E. P.
Baker, pastor; H. Deacon, delegate.

proceeded to inspect the different buildings. First was the kitchen, with its
spacious attachments, excellently vendilated, and supplied with a large range
with the latest improvements. This
large kitchen-building is constructed tntirelv of hewn stone. The door and
window casings are of highly-finished
dressed Stone, all ofthe black lava rocks
which cover the extensive grounds so
abundantly. It seems to be an excellent
material. Mr. Oleson states that his
Portuguese stone-dressers produce the
blocks at a rate cheaper than brick could
be supplied. Why is it not the best
material for the main building, yet to be
erected ?
The site of the proposed main building is at the highest part of the grounds
at the curve of the noble roadway, and
facing the city, which is about one mile
and a half distant. Next to the right
and inland stands the commodious residence of the Principal, which faces the
harbor. A little distance farther on the
descending road now leading citywards
stand two dormitory buildings ot two
stories. Next comes the large dining
hall, now used for school-rooms, and
supplied with the latest educational furnishings ; and still beyond is a third
dormitory in process of erection. These
four buildings face toward the sea,

handsome stone fences around the
grounds. There seems to be no immediate cause to apprehend a failure in the
supply of material. Wonders have
already been wrought in the improvement ot the grounds, and these promiseto become one of the most lovely of
all our beautiful suburbs.
A special entertainment was provided
for the company til what to ourselves
was an entire novelty —the hammer
drill at the carpenter shop. Some
fifteen lads stood at work-benches, each
armed with a good hammer. Exercises
were first gone through in concert, in
blows upon wood by motion first of the
wrist, then from the elbow, and lastly
from the shoulder. Then each one in
succession struck his hammer into a
piece of soft redwood four times in turn.
Each one's wood showed four round indentations ofa uniform and ev< n depth.
Several of the visitors attempted to produce a like result, but in every case
made an indentation deeper-on one side
than the other. The boys had been in
school only four weeks, and had every
one become competent to deliver with
precision and perfect economy of force
any required blow with a hammer, and
to that extent had become good carpenters. What was the nature of the drill
or practice with saw. plane, chisel and
other tools we did n. t learn, but have
no doubt that it will be efficient.
We need not say how wholesome an
education such training is in its effects
on mind and character, as well as upon
hand and eye and muscle. It is evident
that Mrs. Bishop's great bequest is
being nobly employed, and that Hawaiian youth are to enjoy high and
peculiar advantages in being qualified
and furnished for useful and productive
lives. That their moral and religious
education will also be efficiently cared
for needs no better guaranty than the
character of the Trustees, and the
earnest and able Christian energy ofthe

We congratulate the Churches and
the nation upon the opening of a school
of this high character. A bright and
noble prospect of usefulness is before it.

TEMPERANCE IN HAMAKUA.
Editor Friend: —In this district of
Hamakua is the home of the man who
publicly styled himself the "father and
mother of the opium and liquor laws."
He expected that on September 12th his
friends would elect him to office. We
all know of his great defeat.
In this very district a quiet but
earnest temperance work has been going on for several months. At Kukuihaele, on June 16th, Miss Green spoke
in the native church, and ten or more
took the blue ribbon.
At same place. September 18th, Mr.
Gribbles, Judge Miau, from Honokaa,
R. A. Lyman, from Paauhau, and others
spoke. Ten signed the pledge.
October 30th, same place, a rousing
meeting was held, Judge Miau, R. A.
Lyman, Kaekeoahiwi, Rev. J. Goodell
and others made remarks. There were
earnest words and some stirring music,
Miss M. A. Kirk singing very effectively
several songs. Mr. R. A. Lyman did
excellent work by the rapidity and ease
with which he interpreted the speeches.
Postmaster Homer and his good wife
are active workers, Mrs. Homer being
an officii of the Blue Ribbon League.
As a result, thirty-five signed the pledge.
Another meeting was held November
20th, and more names added. R. A.
Lyman. Mr. Lightfoot, Mr. Blight from
Waimea, J. Goodell and others spoke.
The same day Messrs. Lyman and
Goodell held a meeting at Waipio, and
more names were put on the roll.
Similar gatherings have been held at
other places in the district.
The conscience of the people is being
roused to the importance ot the temperance work. Foreigners and natives are
taking the pledge, and the public sentiment is, "The sale of opium and liquor
must be stopped." Men working on the
plantations are asking that no more
liquor be sold. "Prohibit it, prohibit it."
In Kukuihaele the Blue Ribbon has
scored a triumph. Through its influence
one man. who sold liquor, has stopped
its sale, and joined the Blue Ribbon.
The other, and harder case to deal with,
was that of a man selling without a
license. But, through his own "tricks
that were vain," he has just been arrested and fined. Thus Hamakua is

work!
It is true, here and there are a few
men who want to give the license to the
liquor men. They say :" It lias always
been sold ; therefore it cannot be stopped,
and it would be a source of revenue to the
Government." The most absurd proposition is, to grant licenses in all country
towns, and then when a man gets drunk
fine him heavily! " Benevolem c with
a vengeance," some one says. But the
great defeat of the " father of the liquor
law " by the people of this district, and
the springing into active life ofthe temperance work, proves that Hamakua
wants no license within her borders.
We do not believe that any Government
has a right to exist which supports itself
by money gained through the degradation of its people.
A good sign of the times is the increasing interest in religious matters
shown by the Hawaiians. A native Y.
M. C. A. exists here, and meetings are
held Sabbath afternoons. We have
organized a singing-class, to meet once
a week—free to all who may choose to
come. The Sabbath School meets regularly, and there is a fair attendance.
There is always preaching when anyone can speak, although there is nonative pastor in the district.

islands united their influence to the same
object. This object was, at length, so
far accomplished at least as to free the
Government almost entirely from the
responsibility of the traffic.
About this time the following law was
proclaimed—one of the earliest published laws of the kingdom
"A law respecting drunkenness, established in the year of Our Lord, 1835:
"1. We prohibit drunkenness. Whoever drinks spirituous liquors and becomes intoxicated and goes through the
streets riotously, abusing those who may
fall in his way, he is guilty by this law.
He shall pay six dollars in money, or
in other property of the same value,
and for want thereof shall be whipped
twenty-four lashes, or be condemned to
labor one month, or be imprisoned one
month.
" 2. If the intoxicated person breaks
down a fence, he shall pay one dollarfor
each fathom, be the same more or less.
And if the offender does not make redress according to this enactment he
shall rebuild the fence which he has
broken down. But if the breach in a
fence or in a house be small, the fine
likewise shall be small; and if the aggressor refuses to pay it he shall be imprisoned one month, and then liberated.
This is the punishment for damaging a
fence or a house.
" 3. When the individual who damages a fence or a house pays the amount
forfeited by his crime to the owner, he,
the owner, shall pay to the judge one
fourth of ever}' dollar which the fence
breaker or the house breaker shall pay.
Kamehameha 111.

In March, 1838, the first license law
was enacted, which jirohibited all selling
of liquors without a license under a fine
of fifty dollars for the first offense, to be
increased by the addition of fifty dollars
for every repetition of the offense.
All houses for the sale of liquor were
to be closed at ten o'clock at night, and
from .Saturday night till Monday morning. Drunkenness was prohibited in
the licensed houses under a heavy fine
to the drinker, and the loss of his license
to the seller.
In 1840 the following law, prohibiting
the manufacture and use of intoxicating
dunks was enacted, and signed by
Kamehameha 111.

THE FRIEND.
HAWAIIAN KOAED.
H. 1.
We have, then, here a large and important field for missionary effort. It
may be interesting for the readers of
this article to take a map and see from
just what part ofthe Land ofthe Rising Sun " these immigrants come to us.
It will be found that Japan is divided
into some thirty-eight different departments.
The Japanese who are nowhere in Hawaii-nei represent many different sections of the country—some
coming from as far north as Niigata,
where there is a mission station of the
American Hoard ; others are from Tokio
and Yokohama; but the very large majority come from the South, from the
two Kens, or departments, called Heroshima and Yamagnchi, on the great
island of Hondo. This portion of the
umpire lies along the so-called Inland
Sea, whose exquisite natural beauty is
the delight of both the Japanese and of
travelers who are privileged to visit this
Here on the
most charming region.
mainland and on the many picturesque
islands which stud this famous sea, the
quiet farming and fisher folk have lived
their busy and simple life, until the prospect of larger prosperity in our part of the
world led them to emigrate hither. It
is almost as if a section of the rural life
of Japan had been magically transported
across the ocean. These people have
come but very little, if at all, in contact
with foreigners; up to the present time
there has been but comparatively little
missionary effort in their part of Japan,
if I am correctly informed. Hence we
have a large number of this most interesting people who are to receive their first
impressions of Occidental life, customs
and manners, and, most important of
all, the first presentation of Christianity
from us. Are we ready and willing to
meet this new responsibility ?
Our first visit in this trip was to Hilo
and the neighborhood. Here we found
the Japanese Inspector and Doctor of
very great assistance. They entered
most heartily into all Mr. Miyama's
plans for visiting among their countrymen on the different plantations, and
were eager and enthusiastic in their aid
at all times. A large and successful
social gathering was held at the Court
House, which was decorated with Hawaiian and Japanse flags and tropical
foliage and flowers from the beautiful
gardens of Hilo. Each guest wore a
minature Japanese flag with a fern spray.
On the Sabbath an interesting service
was held at the Haiti Church, where the
Gospel was earnestly preached. Later,
other meetings were held on different
plantations.
Before leaving Hilo, it was arranged
that a Japanese Sabbath School should
be started. Mr. J. A. Martin kindly
consented to lake charge of the same,
and I have been pleased to hear from
him since my return to Honolulu that it
has been well attended! The trustees
of the Haili Church kindly loaned a
school-room for the use ofthe Japanese,

AMONG THE JAPANESE ON
HAWAII AND MAUI.
I Frank W. Damon.!
A recent visit to Hawaii and Maui, in
company with the Rev. K. Myama, of
the Japanese Mission in San Francisco,
California, enabled me to see something
of our Japanese friends on those islands,
and afforded me an opportunity of prosecuting m.y work among the Chinese. As
I may at some other time refer more
especially to the present state of the
mission work among this latter nationality, I would like to say a few words in
regard to the very favorable impression
which my companion made upon his
countrymen in his earnest efforts to
bring to them some knowledge of the
religion of Jesus Christ, trusting this
will be of interest to the readers of the
Friend. All those who rejoice in the
advance of the Redeemer's kingdom
have reason to be grateful that Mr.
Mivama was moved to pay our islands
a visit, and to engage in evangelistic
efforts here. He is Assistant Superintendent ofthe Methodist Episcopal Mission to the Japanese in California where
his labors have been greatly blessed.
Horn in Japan just before the new era of
progress dawned upon that empire, his
early years were spent amid the stirring
and inspiring scenes of that most remarkable and eventful period. In his
early manhood, led by that desire for
knowledge, which is so striking a characteristic of his countrymen, be decided
to visit the United States. Fortunately
he found in the mission school of the
Methodist Church in San Francisco
warm and loving friends, and in time
was led to accept of Christianity. With
him this has been no mere intellectual
concession to a superior religious system, but a whole-hearted and enthusiastic allegiance to a personal Savior
whose praises he delights to sing, and
whose name he counts it the highest
privilege to proclaim to his countrymen.
Under the guidance of that devoted and
valiant friend and champion of both the
Chinese and Japanese, Key. Dr. Otis
Gibson, he studied theology, and in due
time was admitted to the ministry. I
have alluded thus in detail to the history
of this friend, because in the instruction
of Christian work among the Japanese
on these islands, his visit among us has
been of the greatest value, and he has
helped to lay a foundation here on which
There
a great work may yet be reared.
are at the present time scattered over
our group some three thousand Japanese
mostly engaged as laborers on our plantations. A large additional number are
expected to arrive within a few days.
"

and a large sign in English and Japanese now announces to the passer-by that
there is a "Japanese Sunday School."
In Kohala a week was spent, religious
meetings being held nearly every evening with the Japanese on the different
plantations, and on the Sabbath in the
Chinese Church at Kaiopihi. As the
birthday of the Emperor of Japan
chanced to come during our visit in this
district, an entertainment was given, to
which a number of the foreign residents,
with some Hawaiian friends and all the
Japanese were invited. We were the
guests of the Japanese Doctor and two
other friends. Everything passed off in
the most delightful manner. After the
feast was over the Japanese present
asked Mr. Mivama for a further address
on the subject of religion.
It was an
extremely interesting scene, the attentive, earnest audience drinking in the
words of the speaker and the eloquent,
consecrated young apostle of the new
faith, urging his countrymen to walk in
this better way.
Later, of their own accord, they contributed over fifty dollars towards defraying his traveling expenses while traveling over the islands. Rev. Mr. O.strom
and family, with true missionary spirit,
have started a Sabbath service for the
Japanese. May God bless their labors.
On Maui interesting visits were made
among the Japanese at YVailuku, Paia,
Spreckelsville, Hamakuapoko, and LaIn Wailuku a Sabbath School
haina.
was started under the superintendence
of Rev. Mr. Bissell, and a night-school
has been undertaken by Mrs. Yerrex.
At Hamakuapoko the Japanese have
been invited to have a share in the interesting Sabbath School of which Mrs.
Hall has charge. Since his return from
Maui, Mr. Miyama has been busy in
Honolulu. He has now gone to Kauai
for a visit of two weeks among his
countrymen. Before Christmas he «x-pects to leave for San Francisco to
resume his work there. His visit here
has been most stimulating and helpful,
and we shall have reason long to remember him and his efforts here with
gratitude and love.
In our already complex and polyglot
missionary field, a new branch of work
now presents itself—one full of most inviting possibilities and splendid promise.
Let us wisely and prayerfully and enthusiastically set ourselves to meet this
opportunity of advancing the interests
of the Redeemer's kingdom. In long
ago days Japanese junks, borne on the
great ocean current of the North Pacific,
drifted to our shores ; and here weary
and wave-tossed exiles from that mysterious and unknown empire found help
and succor. Now carried on the greater
tide of God's Providence thousands of
this nationality come among us. While
they seek material gain and prosperity,
let us be faithful in bringing to them
knowledge of the Savior of the world
and the riches of His love.

"Master, if you don't take any I shall
go. Good-bye." But at the moment
of his leaving the master appeared
again and said that he would buy what
he wanted. The hawker was, of course,
confused by this offer, but endeavored to
conceal his amazement, saying that he
would not come down even a cent. The
master said, "Oh no, I will take all you
have at your own figure." The hawker
was thunderstruck by this proposal, and
stood a moment like a statue. Gazing
calmly on his pale face, the master
gently said, " My dear friend, you had
better first take out the basin from your
basket." This generous expression even
more terrified him, and made him fall
down at the feet of the master, as if he
were suddenly knocked down by a fearful blow. He then begged his mercy
for the crime he had just committed on
account of his extreme poverty, and returned him the basin which he had concealed in the basket. Without saying
anything about the theft, the master fulfilled his offer to buy all the vegetables,
and besides gave the hawker the basin,
with the explanation that he did not intend to give it for relieving his poverty,
but for washing and cleansing his dirty
mind with it. This admirable illustration never failed to show the poor fellow
what he had to do with this most handsome present he had ever received.
About a year after, he again appeared
to this virtuous gentleman in a better
condition than before, and returned him
the basin with which he had improved
his character as well as bis condition.
One of the Sunday School Boys.
A JAPANESE HAWKER.
At the literary and social meeting of
the Japanese Y. M. C. A.on the third
Saturday of last month, one of the
pleasant incidents was reading a newspaper (written, not printed), giving items
of news, advertisements, correspondence, etc. One of the contributed articles in this jfapancsc Times is of such
interest that its publication has been requested in these columns.
In the lecture given by Mrs. Coleman
at the Sunday School respecting the life
of Christ, she explained that Baptism
owes its origin to the washing of the
body of those who attended to hear the
preaching of John, and that the people
of Israel were noted for giving illustrations in expressing their ideas, so that
the act of washing their body was given
as an illustration of cleansing their mind
in order to prepare for the reception of
the coming Messiah.
This reminds me of an interesting
story on moral improvement in Japanese, which singularly corresponds with
the above illustration, and will show
that Japanese are not less remarkable
for the use of illustrations than the old
ITEMS.

them to the meeting, ask them to sign

Mr. T. H. Davies was one of ttle passengers for Honolulu by the Zealandia
on November 26th. It seemed good to
again see his pleasant face and hear his
earnest words in our Gospel meeting in
the hall last Sunday evening. He expects to remain in the city about four
months.
There is a noticeable absence of the
blue ribbon badge so universally worn
by the friends of temperance a few
months ago. If it was a good thing to
wear the "bit of blue" then, it is the
right thing to wear it now. Surely this
is no time to hide our colors or slacken
our .efforts to help and encourage our
weaker brother.
The latest, but not least, publishing
enterprise is that of the Japanese
Times, from which the first article on
this page is copied. It is a four-page
paper, entirely written, and to be published monthly by the Japanese Y. M.
C. A. The first number is a very interesting and creditable piece of literary
work.
OUR NEIGHBORS.
The Seventh Annual State Convention
ofthe Young Men's Christian Associations of California convened in Woodland, October 12th to 16th. It is said
to have been the best ever held in the
State (a claim made for every former
one we believe). This certainly indicates progress, and should be literally
true each year, as a legitimate result of
enlarged work and added workers. A
good list of live practical topics were discussed with spirit and profit. There were
present 162 delegates, 24 ofthe number
being from College Associations. In
1882 there were only two associations in
California: now there are thirty-two,
efeven of which aie in colleges. The
sum of 53,000 was raised for state work.
Mr. C. S. Mason, formerly General
Secretary of this Association, was reelected State Secretary, and Mr. J. S.
Voorhees was elected Associate Secretary. A generous donation to the State
fund was made on behalf of the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. by Mr. J. B. Atherton
of this city, who was present.
TOPICS.

We had hoped in this number to give
in full the five addresses made at the
services of Recognition and Installation
of the Central Union Church. Lack of
space forbids this, but we are glad to
say that they will be incorporated in a
pamphlet, shortly to be issued, containing the other related matters of interest.
We feel no need of apologizing for
again dividing the admirable resume of
temperance history in Hawaii by Mrs.
Whitney. We cannot afford to expend
so much rich matter on our readers all
in one banquet. It admirably helps
to maintain the well-earned reputation
of The Friend as a repository of Hawaiian and Pacific historical matter.
THE AMERICAN BOARD AT
SPRINGFIELD.
The majority of our readers are probably acquainted with the painful controversy which rendered the annual
meeting of the A. B. C. F. M. at
Springfield, Massachusetts, a season
of very trying contention, instead, as
heretofore, one of happy fellowship and
enthusiastic kindling of missionary purpose. We do not mean here even-to
name the subject of disagreement, nor
to indicate to which side we may chance
to lean as to the issue before the Board.
It was a new phase of the ever recurring
controversies between that necessary
and most serviceable party in the Church
of Christ who are conservative and who
earnestly withstand changes that are
possibly pernicious heresies, and that
other not less important party whoeagerly adopt what seems to be new and important light from God's word, but who
may be too incautious in their zeal for
progress. To borrow from Evolution,
persistence of type and variation of form
are both indispensable to desirable results. The Church can dispense with
neither the Conservative nor the Progressive, although the one may some-
times be too peremptory, and the other
too headstrong. In the difficulty which
now so painfully occupies the minds of
the Congregational Churches and of the
Prudential Committee, it seems clear to
us, after reading much that has been
said on all sides of the question, that
both parties are equally in earnest to
be guided by the Holy Scriptures,
and -are equally loyal to the Lord
Jesus Christ, and the work of his kingdom. Why so large and devout and
highly cultured and able a body of Christian men have in God's Providence been
permitted to get into so active a variance
with one another, is not easy now to
discern; but we do not doubt that like
many other apparent evils this one will
ultimate in great good to Christ's Church,
and to the cause of the Evangelization
of the world.
One possible good suggests itself. No
intelligent Christian is ignorant that the
Evangelical churches of America have
for more than a generation been almost
insensibly drifting in the direction of
materially discrediting the old severe
doctrines of the fathers as to the future
condition of sinful men, even as their
sister churches in England and Europe
are far gone over. Where do we now
hear the old positions boldly and freely
taken in our pulpits? Now it may be
that the time has come when our
churches are to know their own minds,
and settle what they do or do not believe on these grave questions, and what
their ministers shall preach, and not be
silent upon { Certainly the existing contest in the Board is giving a resistless
impulse to a thorough discussion of
these questions, and is awakening a
spirit of most earnest inquiry in a great
multitude of Christian minds which have
hitherto evaded taking issue upon them.
Indeed, it looks as if our Evangelical
churches had entered upon a period of
sharp contention on these great topics,
in which they will need the highest
degree of brotherly love and forbearance.
1887.
NUMIIKR
12.
Another possible benefit has suggested
itself, although we may be thought rash
and even divisive and harmful to name
such a thing. May not the time have
come when the enlargement of the missions needs not only more money and
more men, but when, also, more directing
agencies are needed? Is a division of
the missionary activity of the zealous
and wealthy Congregational churches
into direction by two Boards instead of
only one a thing to be dreaded as an
evil? There are said to be thousands of
young students of both sexes pledging
themselves to the foreign work among
the heathen. It seems evident that a
rapid expansion of missionary agencies
is at hand, commensurate possibly with
the enormous expansion of openings to
reach the heathen tribes of Africa and
India, and the "ungospelled" provinces
of China. Perhaps more Boards arc
needed to provide for all these workers.
And it may be that in answering the
many prayers of His people to "send
forth laborers" the Lord of the harvest
is now just decentralizing and pulling
apart his people a little, in order to compel them to multiply agencies, and not
continue to work everything through one
organization, which may become cumbrous and overgrown. Division and
separation is often the best thing—it is
almost the law o£rgrowth and expansion. When we cover a lawn with
grass, we divide the sods and set them
apart. The gardener cuts his choice
plants into bits in order to multiply
them. Centralization is more to be
feared than division and independence.
We feel like saying, dear and honored
American Board, and beloved Congregational churches of America, do not be
afraid to divide, if you are at all out of
accord —separate your agencies by all
means. You of the grand old Board,
go on; increase your contributions, and
push your work. You who are unhappy because your noble devoted young
men cannot pass the doctrinal tests imposed, send them out yourselves—it is a
simple matter of business in the light of
gathered experience. Prove what we
are sure is true, that the new phase of
doctrine has by no means "cut the nerve
[Decmbr, 1887.
THE FRIEND.
96
of missions." For ourselves, there is
nothing we should like better than to
see a splendid young Board at once set
to work and sending out its men and
women into the great harvest, with a
strong and liberal constituency. How
emulous the two Boards would be each
to do the most and best work for the
Lord and King. Would not this be a
grand competition that would double
and treble the missionary activity of the
churches!
THE CENTRAL UNION CHURCH
ORGANIZED.
The proposed union of the Fort Street
and Bethel Union Churches was carried
into effect on the evening of November
13th, at services- in the Fort Street edifice, when the separate memberships of
the two Churches formally entered into
mutual covenant, and constituted the
new organization under the name of the
Central Union Church of Honolulu.
The exercises were as follows:—1.
Preliminary services of worship. 2. Sermon by Key. Dr. Beckwith: "The
Church the Body of Christ." 3. Historical statements by the stated clerks
of the two Churches. 4. Reading of
the two letters dismissing the members
of each Church, and of names of others
uniting by letter and on profession. 5.
Pronouncing in concert of the Articles
of Faith and of the Covenant of the new
Church by the whole membership standing. 6. The Moderator declares the
Central Union Church of Honolulu to

proceeded to inspect the different buildings. First was the kitchen, with its
spacious attachments, excellently vendilated, and supplied with a large range
with the latest improvements. This
large kitchen-building is constructed tntirelv of hewn stone. The door and
window casings are of highly-finished
dressed Stone, all ofthe black lava rocks
which cover the extensive grounds so
abundantly. It seems to be an excellent
material. Mr. Oleson states that his
Portuguese stone-dressers produce the
blocks at a rate cheaper than brick could
be supplied. Why is it not the best
material for the main building, yet to be
erected ?
The site of the proposed main building is at the highest part of the grounds
at the curve of the noble roadway, and
facing the city, which is about one mile
and a half distant. Next to the right
and inland stands the commodious residence of the Principal, which faces the
harbor. A little distance farther on the
descending road now leading citywards
stand two dormitory buildings ot two
stories. Next comes the large dining
hall, now used for school-rooms, and
supplied with the latest educational furnishings ; and still beyond is a third
dormitory in process of erection. These
four buildings face toward the sea,
standing along the inland side of the
descending roadway.
The three dormitories are all on the
same plan,, and contain each twentyfour rooms 8 by 12 feet in dimensions, designed for occupation each byone scholar.
The furniture consists of table, chair, bed
and wardrobe shelves. We should have
thought such accommodation very good

land is thickly sown with large, angular

handsome stone fences around the
grounds. There seems to be no immediate cause to apprehend a failure in the
supply of material. Wonders have
already been wrought in the improvement ot the grounds, and these promiseto become one of the most lovely of
all our beautiful suburbs.
A special entertainment was provided
for the company til what to ourselves
was an entire novelty —the hammer
drill at the carpenter shop. Some
fifteen lads stood at work-benches, each
armed with a good hammer. Exercises
were first gone through in concert, in
blows upon wood by motion first of the
wrist, then from the elbow, and lastly
from the shoulder. Then each one in
succession struck his hammer into a
piece of soft redwood four times in turn.
Each one's wood showed four round indentations ofa uniform and ev< n depth.
Several of the visitors attempted to produce a like result, but in every case
made an indentation deeper-on one side
than the other. The boys had been in
school only four weeks, and had every
one become competent to deliver with
precision and perfect economy of force
any required blow with a hammer, and
to that extent had become good carpenters. What was the nature of the drill
or practice with saw. plane, chisel and
other tools we did n. t learn, but have
no doubt that it will be efficient.
We need not say how wholesome an
education such training is in its effects
on mind and character, as well as upon
hand and eye and muscle. It is evident
that Mrs. Bishop's great bequest is
being nobly employed, and that Hawaiian youth are to enjoy high and
peculiar advantages in being qualified
and furnished for useful and productive
lives. That their moral and religious
education will also be efficiently cared
for needs no better guaranty than the
character of the Trustees, and the
earnest and able Christian energy ofthe
Principal.
We congratulate the Churches and
the nation upon the opening of a school
of this high character. A bright and
noble prospect of usefulness is before it.

TEMPERANCE IN HAMAKUA.
Editor Friend: —In this district of
Hamakua is the home of the man who
publicly styled himself the "father and
mother of the opium and liquor laws."
He expected that on September 12th his
friends would elect him to office. We
all know of his great defeat.
In this very district a quiet but
earnest temperance work has been going on for several months. At Kukuihaele, on June 16th, Miss Green spoke
in the native church, and ten or more
took the blue ribbon.
At same place. September 18th, Mr.
Gribbles, Judge Miau, from Honokaa,
R. A. Lyman, from Paauhau, and others
spoke. Ten signed the pledge.
October 30th, same place, a rousing
meeting was held, Judge Miau, R. A.
Lyman, Kaekeoahiwi, Rev. J. Goodell
and others made remarks. There were
earnest words and some stirring music,
Miss M. A. Kirk singing very effectively
several songs. Mr. R. A. Lyman did
excellent work by the rapidity and ease
with which he interpreted the speeches.
Postmaster Homer and his good wife
are active workers, Mrs. Homer being
an officii of the Blue Ribbon League.
As a result, thirty-five signed the pledge.
Another meeting was held November
20th, and more names added. R. A.
Lyman. Mr. Lightfoot, Mr. Blight from
Waimea, J. Goodell and others spoke.
The same day Messrs. Lyman and
Goodell held a meeting at Waipio, and
more names were put on the roll.
Similar gatherings have been held at
other places in the district.
The conscience of the people is being
roused to the importance ot the temperance work. Foreigners and natives are
taking the pledge, and the public sentiment is, "The sale of opium and liquor
must be stopped." Men working on the
plantations are asking that no more
liquor be sold. "Prohibit it, prohibit it."
In Kukuihaele the Blue Ribbon has
scored a triumph. Through its influence
one man. who sold liquor, has stopped
its sale, and joined the Blue Ribbon.
The other, and harder case to deal with,
was that of a man selling without a
license. But, through his own "tricks
that were vain," he has just been arrested and fined. Thus Hamakua is

redeeming herself.
work!
It is true, here and there are a few
men who want to give the license to the
liquor men. They say :" It lias always
been sold ; therefore it cannot be stopped,
and it would be a source of revenue to the
Government." The most absurd proposition is, to grant licenses in all country
towns, and then when a man gets drunk
fine him heavily! " Benevolem c with
a vengeance," some one says. But the
great defeat of the " father of the liquor
law " by the people of this district, and
the springing into active life ofthe temperance work, proves that Hamakua
wants no license within her borders.
We do not believe that any Government
has a right to exist which supports itself
by money gained through the degradation of its people.
A good sign of the times is the increasing interest in religious matters
shown by the Hawaiians. A native Y.
M. C. A. exists here, and meetings are
held Sabbath afternoons. We have
organized a singing-class, to meet once
a week—free to all who may choose to
come. The Sabbath School meets regularly, and there is a fair attendance.
There is always preaching when anyone can speak, although there is nonative pastor in the district.

object. This object was, at length, so
far accomplished at least as to free the
Government almost entirely from the
responsibility of the traffic.
About this time the following law was
proclaimed—one of the earliest published laws of the kingdom
"A law respecting drunkenness, established in the year of Our Lord, 1835:
"1. We prohibit drunkenness. Whoever drinks spirituous liquors and becomes intoxicated and goes through the
streets riotously, abusing those who may
fall in his way, he is guilty by this law.
He shall pay six dollars in money, or
in other property of the same value,
and for want thereof shall be whipped
twenty-four lashes, or be condemned to
labor one month, or be imprisoned one
month.
" 2. If the intoxicated person breaks
down a fence, he shall pay one dollarfor
each fathom, be the same more or less.
And if the offender does not make redress according to this enactment he
shall rebuild the fence which he has
broken down. But if the breach in a
fence or in a house be small, the fine
likewise shall be small; and if the aggressor refuses to pay it he shall be imprisoned one month, and then liberated.
This is the punishment for damaging a
fence or a house.
" 3. When the individual who damages a fence or a house pays the amount
forfeited by his crime to the owner, he,
the owner, shall pay to the judge one
fourth of ever}' dollar which the fence
breaker or the house breaker shall pay.

In March, 1838, the first license law
was enacted, which jirohibited all selling
of liquors without a license under a fine
of fifty dollars for the first offense, to be
increased by the addition of fifty dollars
for every repetition of the offense.
All houses for the sale of liquor were
to be closed at ten o'clock at night, and
from .Saturday night till Monday morning. Drunkenness was prohibited in
the licensed houses under a heavy fine
to the drinker, and the loss of his license
to the seller.
In 1840 the following law, prohibiting
the manufacture and use of intoxicating
dunks was enacted, and signed by
Kamehameha 111.

HAWAIIAN KOAED.
H. 1.
We have, then, here a large and important field for missionary effort. It
may be interesting for the readers of
this article to take a map and see from
just what part ofthe Land ofthe Rising Sun " these immigrants come to us.
It will be found that Japan is divided
into some thirty-eight different departments.
The Japanese who are nowhere in Hawaii-nei represent many different sections of the country—some
coming from as far north as Niigata,
where there is a mission station of the
American Hoard ; others are from Tokio
and Yokohama; but the very large majority come from the South, from the
two Kens, or departments, called Heroshima and Yamagnchi, on the great
island of Hondo. This portion of the
umpire lies along the so-called Inland
Sea, whose exquisite natural beauty is
the delight of both the Japanese and of
travelers who are privileged to visit this
Here on the
most charming region.
mainland and on the many picturesque
islands which stud this famous sea, the
quiet farming and fisher folk have lived
their busy and simple life, until the prospect of larger prosperity in our part of the
world led them to emigrate hither. It
is almost as if a section of the rural life
of Japan had been magically transported
across the ocean. These people have
come but very little, if at all, in contact
with foreigners; up to the present time
there has been but comparatively little
missionary effort in their part of Japan,
if I am correctly informed. Hence we
have a large number of this most interesting people who are to receive their first
impressions of Occidental life, customs
and manners, and, most important of
all, the first presentation of Christianity
from us. Are we ready and willing to
meet this new responsibility ?
Our first visit in this trip was to Hilo
and the neighborhood. Here we found
the Japanese Inspector and Doctor of
very great assistance. They entered
most heartily into all Mr. Miyama's
plans for visiting among their countrymen on the different plantations, and
were eager and enthusiastic in their aid
at all times. A large and successful
social gathering was held at the Court
House, which was decorated with Hawaiian and Japanse flags and tropical
foliage and flowers from the beautiful
gardens of Hilo. Each guest wore a
minature Japanese flag with a fern spray.
On the Sabbath an interesting service
was held at the Haiti Church, where the
Gospel was earnestly preached. Later,
other meetings were held on different
plantations.
Before leaving Hilo, it was arranged
that a Japanese Sabbath School should
be started. Mr. J. A. Martin kindly
consented to lake charge of the same,
and I have been pleased to hear from
him since my return to Honolulu that it
has been well attended! The trustees
of the Haili Church kindly loaned a
school-room for the use ofthe Japanese,

AMONG THE JAPANESE ON
HAWAII AND MAUI.
I Frank W. Damon.!
A recent visit to Hawaii and Maui, in
company with the Rev. K. Myama, of
the Japanese Mission in San Francisco,
California, enabled me to see something
of our Japanese friends on those islands,
and afforded me an opportunity of prosecuting m.y work among the Chinese. As
I may at some other time refer more
especially to the present state of the
mission work among this latter nationality, I would like to say a few words in
regard to the very favorable impression
which my companion made upon his
countrymen in his earnest efforts to
bring to them some knowledge of the
religion of Jesus Christ, trusting this
will be of interest to the readers of the
Friend. All those who rejoice in the
advance of the Redeemer's kingdom
have reason to be grateful that Mr.
Mivama was moved to pay our islands
a visit, and to engage in evangelistic
efforts here. He is Assistant Superintendent ofthe Methodist Episcopal Mission to the Japanese in California where
his labors have been greatly blessed.
Horn in Japan just before the new era of
progress dawned upon that empire, his
early years were spent amid the stirring
and inspiring scenes of that most remarkable and eventful period. In his
early manhood, led by that desire for
knowledge, which is so striking a characteristic of his countrymen, be decided
to visit the United States. Fortunately
he found in the mission school of the
Methodist Church in San Francisco
warm and loving friends, and in time
was led to accept of Christianity. With
him this has been no mere intellectual
concession to a superior religious system, but a whole-hearted and enthusiastic allegiance to a personal Savior
whose praises he delights to sing, and
whose name he counts it the highest
privilege to proclaim to his countrymen.
Under the guidance of that devoted and
valiant friend and champion of both the
Chinese and Japanese, Key. Dr. Otis
Gibson, he studied theology, and in due
time was admitted to the ministry. I
have alluded thus in detail to the history
of this friend, because in the instruction
of Christian work among the Japanese
on these islands, his visit among us has
been of the greatest value, and he has
helped to lay a foundation here on which

expected to arrive within a few days.

and a large sign in English and Japanese now announces to the passer-by that
there is a "Japanese Sunday School."
In Kohala a week was spent, religious
meetings being held nearly every evening with the Japanese on the different
plantations, and on the Sabbath in the
Chinese Church at Kaiopihi. As the
birthday of the Emperor of Japan
chanced to come during our visit in this
district, an entertainment was given, to
which a number of the foreign residents,
with some Hawaiian friends and all the
Japanese were invited. We were the
guests of the Japanese Doctor and two
other friends. Everything passed off in
the most delightful manner. After the
feast was over the Japanese present
asked Mr. Mivama for a further address
on the subject of religion.
It was an
extremely interesting scene, the attentive, earnest audience drinking in the
words of the speaker and the eloquent,
consecrated young apostle of the new
faith, urging his countrymen to walk in
this better way.
Later, of their own accord, they contributed over fifty dollars towards defraying his traveling expenses while traveling over the islands. Rev. Mr. O.strom
and family, with true missionary spirit,
have started a Sabbath service for the
Japanese. May God bless their labors.
On Maui interesting visits were made
among the Japanese at YVailuku, Paia,
Spreckelsville, Hamakuapoko, and LaIn Wailuku a Sabbath School

was started under the superintendence
of Rev. Mr. Bissell, and a night-school
has been undertaken by Mrs. Yerrex.
At Hamakuapoko the Japanese have
been invited to have a share in the interesting Sabbath School of which Mrs.
Hall has charge. Since his return from
Maui, Mr. Miyama has been busy in
Honolulu. He has now gone to Kauai
for a visit of two weeks among his
countrymen. Before Christmas he «x-pects to leave for San Francisco to
resume his work there. His visit here
has been most stimulating and helpful,
and we shall have reason long to remember him and his efforts here with
gratitude and love.
In our already complex and polyglot
missionary field, a new branch of work
now presents itself—one full of most inviting possibilities and splendid promise.
Let us wisely and prayerfully and enthusiastically set ourselves to meet this
opportunity of advancing the interests
of the Redeemer's kingdom. In long
ago days Japanese junks, borne on the
great ocean current of the North Pacific,
drifted to our shores ; and here weary
and wave-tossed exiles from that mysterious and unknown empire found help
and succor. Now carried on the greater
tide of God's Providence thousands of
this nationality come among us. While
they seek material gain and prosperity,
let us be faithful in bringing to them
knowledge of the Savior of the world
and the riches of His love.

"Master, if you don't take any I shall
go. Good-bye." But at the moment
of his leaving the master appeared
again and said that he would buy what
he wanted. The hawker was, of course,
confused by this offer, but endeavored to
conceal his amazement, saying that he
would not come down even a cent. The
master said, "Oh no, I will take all you
have at your own figure." The hawker
was thunderstruck by this proposal, and
stood a moment like a statue. Gazing
calmly on his pale face, the master
gently said, " My dear friend, you had
better first take out the basin from your
basket." This generous expression even
more terrified him, and made him fall
down at the feet of the master, as if he
were suddenly knocked down by a fearful blow. He then begged his mercy
for the crime he had just committed on
account of his extreme poverty, and returned him the basin which he had concealed in the basket. Without saying
anything about the theft, the master fulfilled his offer to buy all the vegetables,
and besides gave the hawker the basin,
with the explanation that he did not intend to give it for relieving his poverty,
but for washing and cleansing his dirty
mind with it. This admirable illustration never failed to show the poor fellow
what he had to do with this most handsome present he had ever received.
About a year after, he again appeared
to this virtuous gentleman in a better
condition than before, and returned him
the basin with which he had improved
his character as well as bis condition.
One of the Sunday School Boys.
A JAPANESE HAWKER.
At the literary and social meeting of
the Japanese Y. M. C. A.on the third
Saturday of last month, one of the
pleasant incidents was reading a newspaper (written, not printed), giving items
of news, advertisements, correspondence, etc. One of the contributed articles in this jfapancsc Times is of such
interest that its publication has been requested in these columns.
In the lecture given by Mrs. Coleman
at the Sunday School respecting the life
of Christ, she explained that Baptism
owes its origin to the washing of the
body of those who attended to hear the
preaching of John, and that the people
of Israel were noted for giving illustrations in expressing their ideas, so that
the act of washing their body was given
as an illustration of cleansing their mind
in order to prepare for the reception of
the coming Messiah.
This reminds me of an interesting
story on moral improvement in Japanese, which singularly corresponds with
the above illustration, and will show
that Japanese are not less remarkable
for the use of illustrations than the old
ITEMS.

them to the meeting, ask them to sign

Mr. T. H. Davies was one of ttle passengers for Honolulu by the Zealandia
on November 26th. It seemed good to
again see his pleasant face and hear his
earnest words in our Gospel meeting in
the hall last Sunday evening. He expects to remain in the city about four
months.
There is a noticeable absence of the
blue ribbon badge so universally worn
by the friends of temperance a few
months ago. If it was a good thing to
wear the "bit of blue" then, it is the
right thing to wear it now. Surely this
is no time to hide our colors or slacken
our .efforts to help and encourage our
weaker brother.
The latest, but not least, publishing
enterprise is that of the Japanese
Times, from which the first article on
this page is copied. It is a four-page
paper, entirely written, and to be published monthly by the Japanese Y. M.
C. A. The first number is a very interesting and creditable piece of literary
work.

true each year, as a legitimate result of
enlarged work and added workers. A
good list of live practical topics were discussed with spirit and profit. There were
present 162 delegates, 24 ofthe number
being from College Associations. In
1882 there were only two associations in
California: now there are thirty-two,
efeven of which aie in colleges. The
sum of 53,000 was raised for state work.
Mr. C. S. Mason, formerly General
Secretary of this Association, was reelected State Secretary, and Mr. J. S.
Voorhees was elected Associate Secretary. A generous donation to the State
fund was made on behalf of the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. by Mr. J. B. Atherton
of this city, who was present.
TOPICS.
A Gospel Praise Service is h«ld in the
Y. M. C. A. Hall every Sunday evening
at 6:30 o'clock ; young men and strangers
are specially invited. The following are
the topics for the month:
December 4th —International Y. M.
C. A. Work.
December nth—"The Great Invitation." Rev. 21:17.
December 18th—"The Sin of Neglect." Heb. 2:1-3.
Deecember 25th—"The Joyful Tid,ngs." Luke 2:10.
