joyousness, and their healthy appearance
show that careful attention is paid to
their physical well-being."
Report of Chinese Mission Sabbath

The following interesting report

was

read among the reports before the Central Union Church, by Mr. Frank W.
Damon, Superintendent of the Chinese
Mission.
It is not the object of this brief report
to outline the general work of the Chinese
Mission, which in all its departments,
receives, through the Hawaiian Board,
such kind and generous aid from this
church. This will be done in the report
made annually to theBoard. I will here,
however, make special notice of the good
work of our different Chinese Sabbath
schools, which an appropriation from
this church aids us materially in
accomplishing. Through this, we arc
enabled, in part, to furnish wtekly our
Sabbath schools with illustrated papers

He is now on his way home from an extended tour in the South Pacific, in
Company with his brother S. T. Alexander. The brothers spent a month in the
Marquesas, among whose cannibals their
partnts passed six months as missionaries in 1H:.;.. They also visited Tahiti,
Raiatea, the Hervey and Cook groups,
Tonga, and New Zealand. James visited
Samoa on his return, Sam'l having gone
on with his daughter to Sydney, Brisbane, Java and Japan.
Mr. Alexander's previous thorough
study of the object of his travels gave
him a great advantage, not less than his
birth and long residence in Hawaii, and
consequent familiarity with the Polynesian tongue, common to the aborigines
of all the groups visited. On Sunday the
17th, in Central Union Church, Mr.
Alexander lectured upon the state of religion in the South Sea Islands, taking
for his text Isaiah 55:1 3, "Instead of the
thorn shall come up the fir-tree, and
instead of the briar the myrtle-tree: and
it shall be to the Lord for a name, for
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut

off."

This prophecy the speaker showed to
have been notably fulfilled in the results
of Gospel labors begun a century ago in
the South Pacific bythe London Missionary Society. The fruits of those labors
are especially prosperous in Rarotonga,
Aitutaki, and Tonga, which have not
been ravaged by the detrimental influen
ces of commerce. There the social older
is excellent and the population is increasing. Even in Samoa where the pressure
of foreign influences is severe, the good
work of the Gospel continues to prosper.
In Tonga, the public good order is excellent. The people are all settled upon
allotments ol land, all which is owned bythe King, to whom they each pay an annual rent, which constitutes the onlyThe Government finances are

flourishing, and the people contented.
The condition of the Marquesas Islands has always been deplorable, and
continues so under the French rule,
which had prevented continuance of
work by the London Missionary Society,
although three Hawaiian missionaries
had continued to labor in a humble, but
faithful manner. The treatment of the
natives by the gens d'armes is violent
and oppressive. They are a stalwart
race, apparently averaging six feet in
height. The beautiful valleys are numerous and fertile, capable of supporting ten
times their present population, wasted
by pestilences. Some of the nuns are
most devoted women, but a majority of

of them are doing good work in schools,
which are required to be taught in the
French language. They have learned
this in Tahiti. Each of these veteran
laborers has a large number of natives
under their personal influence and joining in their worship. They were most
affectingly delighted at the visit from the
sons of their old teacher at Lahainaluna.
Mr. Alexander's discourse was enrich

Perhaps that will be what is needed.
Such motors are favorably reported on
in New York and other cities. For our

trolley-wires for electric motors seems
impracticable. The need is fast increas

non est. The Matalanmi, and Mants
tribes, are specially ctger for a supply.
During the outbreak in Matalanim, all
books were burnt up by the Spanish
soldiery, consequently they need a fresh
supply. On the Hth of September last
all Christian friends were invited to attend the dedication of a new Protestant
Church which has just been built in
Matalanim; there was indeed a good attendance, christians from all parts of the
island came to offer up their devotions
to God. It was truly a yrand and solemn
affair. Our good Christian work still
continues to go or. as hitherto. Our day
and Sunday schools, prayer meetings
&c. are well attended. Of course we
have many drawbacks to contend ag ain.t
in not having an ordained minister to
aid and help us along in our good work,
we can only go so far and no further.
We are however, doing our very best to
keep our people in line; fathers, mothers,
grandmothers and children, read and
study the book, the word of God; and I
verily believe that if they were deprived
of this pleasure and privilege they would
pine away and die off. The Mants and
Matalanim tribes, are also doing good
and effective work. With two such able
christian teachers as William, and
Joseph, good results are inevitable. I
regret to state that our good Governor
has been recalled to Manila. We are
sorry he has gone. He was indeed a
good man, and a good Catholic. His
views of things seemed to be on a much
broader scale than others who have preceded him. He was a very liberal minded man, no bigotry about him, he was
greatly in favor of our cause, and did
all in his power to help us along in our
Christian work. As a matter of course
the priests were exceedingly wroth and
indignant at such revolutionary conduct,
and commenced to stir up and make
trouble for the old gentleman; but he
being made of the right kind of stuff, was
not to be shaken in what he considered
to be right and just. He never in his
life before came in contact with American
missionaries, ladies and gentlemen, and
was almost petrified with astonishment
at their kind hospitality, and affable
maniners. We are sorry he has been
taken away from amongst us. He ruled
wisely and well. May God bless him'is
the earnest wish of all Ponapeans. Our
present Governor is I dare say a good
man too. He is very civil, and very
quiet. I wish to say that Spanish officers bought up a lot of those New

Testaments.

I am Sir,

Yours Sincerely,

A Sign of the Times.

Ifehind and beyond the barrier steep, far up to
the stainless sky,
Riseth encircled in shimmering mists the dome of
Hualalai,
And the winding path ol the gods of eld, in its
lazy zigzag creeps
From the kiss of the sibilant sea up the face of
the frowning steeps.
The long beach curves to the south, ablaze with
the dulse and tangle and flowers,
In roae and amber, the sea hath filched from the
depths ol the coral bowers,
And the palm trees swing in the seaborne breeze
o'er the belt of fringing snow
That girds the shore where the foam bells beat
on the beach at Napoopoo.

In the face of the scarped stark clitls that rise
high above the ocean bed,
Are the bom s of warrior kings, and the graves of
the mighty dead.
The sea bird hangs on the beetling cliffs nnd
foldeth his wearied wings,
While the sobbing sea the requiem walls of the
long forgotten kings.
In the days of old when "The Lonely One,"
ruled all with in, iron hand.
The walls echoed back the measured tread of his
men on the beaten strand,
And rang with the deafening noise ol his warriors
gathered for war,
As they shot their canoes with the speed of light
far over the sandy bar,
The waters were all alive with the waits and the
warriors bold
Their helmets shone in the morning sun with the
gleam of burnished gold,
And the sea like the topaz sparkling reflected the
sheen tit the spears
Of the warriors turned to dust, in the lapse of a
hundred years.
Where now is the spear, and the helmet and the
cunningly carved canoe?
Where now is the painted warrior of the days of
the long ago?
Where now is the old kahuna with his idols of
wood and stone?
Vanished anil left no trace behind, as the morning mists have gODC !
Ah! never again shall the war canoe sail in from
the seaward way,
It is only the lonely fisherman now whose shallop
rocks in the bay,
Dozing and dreaming perhaps of the past, and
the days that come back no more,
I.til ed by the son.; the waters sing a.s they leap
on the desolate shore.
The sea weed lilteth its rosy bloom, and swings
on the deep Ma-bar,
And the sea gives a broken image of a ship that
sailed afar;
The cliffs give back but the song of the surf and
the wandering sea bird's cry.
And the smoke of the mokuahi trails athwart the
unclouded sky.
