theory is that it was composed for the
purpose of denouncing and satirizing the
Jewish error which conceived of God as
having mercy and grace for Israel only,
and nine lor the Gentiles. Jonah is
described as a prophet who refused to
carry God's message to the heathen.
The consideration which most strongly turns the minds of Christian believers
against considering Jonah unhistorical
is our Lord's use of the repentance of
the Ninevitea under Jonah's preaching
to rebuke the impenitent people of
Capernaum, and more especially the
Louis comparison of his own burial to
Jonah's being three days in the whale's
belly. This is conceived not merely to
endorse the inspiration of the book,
which it plainly does, but also to indorse
its historical verity. Is the latter so ?

Dr. Harper assures us "that the Pentateuch is a compilation of four distinct
written documents, no one of which goes
farther back than 950 15. C." This is
the well known analysis of the Pentateuch given by the ''disintegrating
critics." It is based upon the different
uses of the words "Jehovah and "Ploliim" in the Mosaic record, but it is of
very doubtful value, and is discredited
by a growing number of the most competent scholars.

[April, 1897.
The main building is spacious, with

two stories and ample verandahs. There
are two roomy cottages, one for extra

sick wards, and one for kitchen and
dining loom. The wards are furnished
with in at metal cots. There is a fine
outloi k seawaids. The site is seaward
of the Reform School, three-fourths of a
mile north west from the Post Office.
The peculiarly Christian character of
the opening exercises is largely due to
the great influence of Mr. Goo Kirn, so
well k lown as an curly convert and a
long and able Christian worker, as well
as a successful merchant. It also impressively illustrates the great degree to
which Christian sentiments have influenced and permeated the 22,000 Chinese
residing in Hawaii. This noble and

Franchere's Visit to Hawaii in 1811.

A valuable supplement to Hawaiian
History is to be found in a lately unearthed "Narrative of a Voyage to the
Northwest coast of America," by Gabriel
Franchere. The writer was a young
Canadian, who sailed in Astor's ship the
Tonquin in 1811, for the Columbia River.
He printed his story in French in 1819.

Dr. Abbot's

THE FRIEND.
"Theology

of an Evolutionist."

Theology, Dr. 'Abbott says, differs
from Evolution in two respects, in regard
to interventions, and in regard to the
cause of change. "Theology attempts
to account for the cause of life, but Involution does not." Having thus stated
the difference between evolution and
theology, Dr. Abbot says,"I acknowledge myself to be a radical evolutionist.'
But here 1 raise the question- Is Dr.
Abbott a radical evolutionist ? For he
immediately adds; "I reverently and
and heartily accept the axiom that a per
sonal Gi d is the foundation of all life."
But this is nothing less nor more than
to say that God is the cause, and yet he
has just told us that "it should be distinctly understood that evolution mikes
no attempt to explain the cause of that
progressive change which constitutes the
essential manifestation ol what we call
life." At the fir el stroke, therefore, Dr.
Abbott gets on the theological side ol
one of the two essential differences be
tween evolution and theology. He joins
the theologians in attempting to give a
cause for things, and is not a "radical
evolutionist," "Theie are no forces in
nature," he continues to remark, "except
the one divine, infinite force, the will ol
God." If this is not to give a cause,
what is?
But there is still the other difference
between evolution and theology, that of
the idea of interventions. * * * He
tells us first what theologians have
believed, and then that evolution holds
that this "higher life of man, this moral,
this ethical, this spiritual nature has
been developed by natural processes, as
higher physical phases of life have been
developed by natural processes.'' But
Dr. Abbott is too shrewd not to see that
this explanation does not cover the diffi
culty, that we have here an effect greater
than the cause, that the question where
the "more" came from has not been
answered. * * Hence after some
hesitation he quietly acknowledges that
the "evolutionist believes no less than
the creationist that God breathes inti
man the breath of a divine lite."
* * But what about the doctrine ol
non-intervention ? And what about tht
fling that "it is theology alone which
still holds to the doctrine of special inter
ventions, to the action that there art
gaps in the process of life to be filled up
with God. As if God lived in gaps."
Here is a genuine case of gap. the gap
between animal and man, and according
to Dr. Abbott God fids it up. *
Breathing into man the breath of divine
life is as much intervention as putting
breath into the body of the widow's
son by a clasp of the hand. Intervention
is intervention, and clothing it in the
terms of evolution instead of the terms
of theology does not alter the fact.

Rev. Dr. M C. Harris, Presiding
elder of M. E. Japanese Missions on the
Pacific Coast, is now visiting that
branch of his charge located in these
islands. Rev. 11. Kihara is in charge of
the Methodist Japanese Mission in Ho

Smith Street. This is Elder Harris
third visit to Hawaii. It is pleasant to
again exchange fraternal greetings with
him. Our Christian work for these interesting people will be none the worse
for a portion of Methodist leaven.

"Pentecostal" Meetings of Rev.
G. Smith.

Jos.

A series of daily evening and afternoon
meetings were held for nearly three
weeks of the past month in the M. E.
Church by the above named Methodist
Evangelist.
The primary object of
these meetings was to quicken the
spiritual life of Christians, and lift them
into a higher plane, thus preparing them
for efficient seeking of the unsavedMany earnest Christians of other denominations attended Mr. Smith's meetings, and fountl rich profit. There were
also many experiences of conversion,
especially among the youth of the Sunday School.
F'lder Smith has earnest, impressive
speech, intimate familiarity with Scripture, deep spirituality, and exceptional
gift of logical discrimination, matured
by long practice. He maintains the
regular Methodist doctrine of "Sanctification." Without necessarily accepting
his precise exposition of the life of the
Spirit, one could not fail to be deeply
impressed with the practicalattainability,
and with our great need, of a life of
habitual joy, strength and peace through
the constant and sensible communion of
the Holy Spirit indwelling with us. Of
this work of the Spirit, our Calvinistic
Churches generally seem to understand
too little.

the females are much in excess of the
males, the latter evidently going abroad
more than the former, who tend to marry
and settle at home, the white males
being so largely in excess.
The Portuguese Hawaiian both here
constitute l'>.Bl or nearly one half oftheir
nationality. They are prolific. They
have a much larger proportion of adult
females than the other foreign immigrants. And of those bom here, the
males are considerably in excess of
females, few of the former as yet having
strayed abroad, being mostly in tender
years.
In all 9,199 persons of European
origin now living in Hawaii, were born
here, a little over three-fourths of whom
are of Portuguese descent.
The following forcible comment was
made in Washington upon Liliuokalani'a

no such person existed.
"We venture to suggest that this put'

tify that the act was considered carefully
and deliberately by Liliuokalani and tha
it was her free will act and deed, ai
that she was known to them to be the
person whose signature was appended."
It may be added, that it was a pitiable
thing for Mrs. Dominis to make such a
public display in Washington of both
mental and moral imbecility.

Of the inventors and propagators of
the vile and silly canard about an
attempt to poison Liliuokalani, it is a
question whether they are more base
than stupid.

Tlu astronomer, Percival Lowell, has
conclusively settled the long dispute as
to the rotation of Venus. The rotation
of that planet upon its axis, is identical
in time with its revolution around the
Sun. It always turns the same side to
the Sun, just as the Moon does to the
Earth. This is owing to the enormous
tidal force txerted by the Sun upon
Venus, which is seven times as great as
he exerts upon the Earth. The tides
act as a brake to retaid rotation, and
Venus has succumbed as the Moon has
done.

The Waimea Meeting.
The Hawaiian Association of churches
Friday, March 12th,
and ended its mission at evening the
next day. Of the important matters
which came up for consideration, perhaps the foremost was that of the request
of a number of members of the church of
Kohala tor the removal of their pastor.
The paper in which their petition was
formulated was a rather stiff document|
evidently drawn up by a lawyer. It gave
evidence of strong political bias. The
only serious charge brought against the
pastor, that of deception, was easily
explained on the ground of a change of
opinion. Indeed the charges brought
received little attention from the Association; the time was rather given to
a consideration of the best method ol
winning over the disaffected brethren.
The bringer of the petition was questioned, and after much kindly conference,
his suggestions were adopted. The Asa committee
sociation was asked to
of Pastors to speak conciliatory words
to the disaffected. They and the pastor
were to express regret for the hasty
action of the Association in suspending
the opposing members at a time of heated
political feeling. Mutual confessions
were to be made with the hope that the
,
breach might be healed. Mr.
the delegate of the disaffected party and
one of its leaders evinced an earnest
desire to help bring about this harmony.
There was much rejoicing at this apparently happy turn of affairs and the committee was chosen and sent. But the
success oftheir mission, as has sincebeen
learned, was not as great as had been
hoped. Had it gone immediately and
met with tne disaffected at their rendezvous on Sunday, the result might probably have been different. But going on
Monday instead, there was no regular
meeting held till Thursday, the date of
the usual week day gathering. Unfortunately at that time the strongest member of the committee could not be present.
Had certain leaders of the opposition
wished it the result might have been
different. Yet doubtless good will come
of this effort of the Pastor and of the
brethren of the Association to put themselves right withthe aggrieved members,
they have shown a willingness to welcome back the seceders and deal gently
with them. In doing this they have
gone more than half way. Moreover
the leaders gf the opposition are evidentmeet at Waimea,

THE FRIEND
Those who hindered
conciliatory measures have put themselves on record. Undoubtedly there
are those who will cease to follow their
lead.
They ask unqualifiedly for the
dismissal of Pastor Kekuewa.
This
can not bethought of. Kekuewa stands
high in the regard of many of his people.
He has the entire confidence ol his
brethren in the ministry. He is one of
the ablest ol the native pastors. His
record is without a stain. Moreover he
is winning some of the disaffected back
to his side. There is too strong evidence of an unworthy purpose on the part
of his strongest opponents. They are
paid to keep up this opposition.
Two other actions of the Association
are noteworthy, one, the dismissal of
the Rev. J. Kalino to accept the call of
the Paia Church, and the other, the dis
missal of the Rev. L. K. Kalawe without trial, from the pastorate of the Paula

of the prosperity of the Day Schools and
the steady attendance of the children.
The new Governor or British Commis

enforced upon parents the duty of sending their children to school.
Mr. Paaluhi, who occupies the Northern end of Tabiteuea, desires to bring
his two sons to Hawaii nei next year for
their education.
The missionaries speak well of the
new Governor and of his influence for
good over the people. The islanders
are evidently making progress, and on
the whole the outlook is favorable.

after the concert exercises.

almost every Sunday afternoon and while
there has been marked improvement in
the meetings it is too soon to observe
any great change in the people.
The first impression of the chief has
been confirmed.
He has rendered us
valuable assistance in moving buildings,
taking at one time 35 of his men over to
Anapauo to assist in carrying the boards
and remaining with them three days and
holding them to the work.
Philip, one of my boys, visits these
people every Sunday morning, and I
visit them in the afternoon. They call
themselves my people anil say they are
members of the church.
Last week Mrs. Logan and myself
started on the schooner for a tour ofthese
islands intending to visit Uman, Fefan
Amau on Uelo, and Famua. At Uman
we found Moses and Zipporah, and a
good work. They filled his church about
two-thirds full. Most ol those present
were Christians. They listened attentively to a sermon on the rewards of the
Christian life and an impromptu talk
by Mis Logan, whom every one seemed

She had been iii for six months and now
is neither able to stand nor lie down, but
must sit in a half reclining position all

and spoke to her and Moses, and says
she has great peace in prospect of death.
Moses takes good cure of her and is very
faithful. I thought, and we spoke of it
as we came away, of the marvelous
power of the Gospel of Jesus, which has
done so much for these two children of
darkness. Zipporah, sustained in the
hour of approaching death testifying to
the peace that was in her heart, and
Moses no less wonderfully sustained,
maintaining a pure life in the midst of
his temptations and trials, present to the
natives an object lesson on tbe power of
the Gospel. To us who live in a land

Letter from Mr. Price at Ruk.

(Continued

from

last issue.)

This is the gist of our conversation

that day as I spoke to him of God, His
Church.
The meeting of the Sunday School love, and His priceless gift. Since
Association was held Sunday sfternoon, then I have visited these people
Hawaiian Missionaries in the GilbertIslands.

By the Morning Star which returned
on the 29th of March from the fourteenth
voyage to Micronesia, we have cheering
letters from the three Hawaiian brethren
in the Gilbert Islands.
The fourth missionary Rev. Louis
Mitchell who has been on Butaritari for
two years, returned on the Star with
his family on account of the very serious
illness of his wife. Rev. J. VV. Kanoa
the veteran missionary of Butaritari
having died last July, the return of Mr.
Mitchell now leaves that most interesting
island wholly unoccupied by our band of
laborers. Rev. Mr. VValkup also is temporarily withdrawn from the Gilbert Islands, as he takes charge of the mission
school at Kusaie during the absence of
Rev. Mr. Channon and family.
Rev. S. P. Kaaia, the prince of native
Hawaiian missionaries now living, writes
cheenngly of his field on Tabiteuea.
Church discipline is maintained. Monthly concert collections are maintained the
contributions being made in coconuts
and in coconut cord. Day Schools are
well attended, the teachers paid from the
Government Treasury. The institution
of Christian marriage is being acknowledged among the people. He speaks
highly of the Christian literature being
furnished their people through the efforts
of Mr. and Mrs. Bingham.
The most serious hinderance comes
from the efforts of those who teach the
worship of Mary.
He still declines to take a furlough
from his work until someone is found to
fill his place during his absence. Mr.
Mahihila of Miana, speaks of the continued defection of the principal chief of

32
where Christianity has moulded the
sentiment and created a condition in
harmony with that sentiment, the example of a woman dying peacefully and of
a man faithful to Ins wife during a long,
lingering illness, would hardly cause
remark; but here, where fidelity m the
marriage relation is hardly known anil
where even Christians within a lew days
after the death of a wife take another and
sickness of one member in the married
relation is sufficient cause for sin on the
part of the other, the example ol good
Zipporah and faithful Moses is nothing
less than an unmistakable evidence of
the Gospel in their lives.
After our service we went in and
prayed with Zipporah and came away
feeling girded anew fjr our work in
preaching this Gospel to the heathen.
Moses is not all we wish he weie. He
has become interested in making money,
and we fear he neglects his spiritual
work for things temporal, but he has a
moral character which has been createtl
in the atmosphere of the Gospel, which
will be a power for God wherever he lives.
We got underway for Kuku on the 3rd
of Feb., aliout eleven o'clock, and before
a fair wind we ran over in about two
hours. There is war between Uin.tn and
Fefan, and the Uman people wanted to
go on the schooner with us in order to
protect us. As Moses was going we
allowed him to take a few of his boys,
but three boatloads of the natives followed. We did not want them with us
for we feared that they would make the
people mad with us, and it was learned
afterwards that they probably went along
in order to get a landing on Fefan under
cover of protecting us. In this they
were foiled, for the Fefan people were
ready to receive us with guns and other
accoutrements of war. We anchored
outside of gunshot range and Moses
and Mrs. Logan and I went ashore.
There has been war on Kuku for nearly
two years, and Manasseh's work has
amounted to almost nothing. He himself is growing old and is hardly able for
the work of such a field, and it has
seemed to us that we ought to change
him to some other field. When we
arrived we found that Emily, Manasseh's
wife, had died the Saturday before. She
had been sick a long time and had been
a great surlerer. Her life had been quiet
and unobtrusive, but true and faithful,
and we feel sure that she dir-d in the
faith. Manasseh said that she died in
peace and we believe that she did.
We thought best, after looking the
situation over, tJ leave Manasseh there
alone lor a few months at least. He
will probably return to Ponape soon and
we shall iher. tiy 10 secure a more wise
and aggressive man for this field. It is
bloody Fefan still as ol yore. The work
has done comparatively little toward
allaying the passion for war which has
controled this people. We made a short
stop at Fefan and at seven o'clock at
evening we dropped anchor at Anapauo

j'April, 1807.

THE FRIEND.
and the next day at about one o'clock,
after Mrs. Logan and myself had made
the visit mentioned above, we were on
our way or Kinamne, the name ol our
new home on Taloas, having accomplished only one half of what we set out
to do, so much depends on the wind
when one is toiling. I am glad to say
that Capt. Fostei managed the schooner
well on this trip and gieatly increased
my confidence in his ability to take her
through difficult places. He is cautious,
avoids danger and takes no risks anil
keeps a sharp lookout all the time. He
seems to know pretty well now what the
schooner can do and I think you may
rest content with reference to Ins work.
The coming of the Star was, as usual,
an event in our lives; and as she brought
Mrs. Logan this year, her coming was
a double blessing
Her kindness of
bean, her tlioughtfulness and prudence
and her ability to do work together with
her social and intellectual qualities make
her coining to us a cause ot constant
thankfulness. No one could have taken
her place here. She is needed here it
in any place in the world, and it shall
be our endeavor to make her life here as
pleasant as it can be made by us under
these circumstances.
Of course we were disappointed that
you did not send us an associate, but I
know that you have the interest of this
work at heart. I do not care to add
anything to what I wrote you last year.
The same reasons for having an ass >ci
ate male missionary here still hold, and
were I to restate them would make them
even stronger than they were last year;
but it has occurred to me that it might
be well both for the man and the woik
if he did not come until we have sue
ceeded in ridding the mission and the
work of the incubus which clings so persistently to it.
A great sorrow has come to us in the
sickness and death of our dear little babe
who died on the Bth of Septeill >ci.

Voyage of the Morning Star.
The Missionary barken tine Morning
Star, Captain Garland, arrived it Honolulu on the morning of March 2 ih, aft i
a passage of 40 days from Ruk.
Si
brought the following passengers: Rev,
family of the GiKieit
J. If. Channonand
Training School on Kusaie; Miss Kinney
and Miss Abell of the Girls' Training
School at Kinamue, Ruk; Rev. I.ouis
Mitchell and family of Butaritari; Chas.
Bowker and family ol Ruk. Mr. and
Mrs. Channon take the regular year's
furlough after seven years of labor, which
long experience has proved to be economy of strength. Mr. Mitchell, a native
ol Mauritius, returns on account of the
prostrated health of his wife. The ladies
from Ruk also take a vacation on account
of impaired health. Mr. Bowker has
rendered frequent and most essential
service to the missionaries in Ruk as a
carpenter, for many years, and how

desires opportunity to educate his children.
Leaving Honolulu June 25, the Starreached Butaritari ia 17 days. Having
there landed all the Stores for the Gilbert
Islands, the run to Kusaie took 12 days.
A stay of 16 days was made at this
missionary center, during which time
the Star was overhauled. Thence the
vessel proceeded to Ruk, calling on the
way to inspect stations on the small
islands of Mokil. Pingalap and Ngatic,
also visiting Ponape. When half way
to Kuk it became necessary to return to
Ponape fol medical aid to a passenger.
Bad weather necessitated a stay there ol
six days. Going on, Ruk was reached
in three and a halt days, steaming all
the way, to mak-' up lost time. All were
found well on Ruk, where a stay of five
da) s was made.
Returning to Kusaie, a ciowd of school
children with teachers embarked, and
the cruise was made through the stations
of the Marshall Islands, returning some
pupils to their homes, or locating them
as teachers, and taking on other pupils
to Kusaie. At one time SB people were
on board.
Again at Kusaie, the Gilbert scholars
and teachers embarked, and 5t days
were spent in a Cruise through that
group. Once more proceeding to Ruk
for final ordera and mails, the Star sailed
for home on February 12th. Miss Foss
of the Kusaie Mission, had embarked for
home, but finding Miss Abell and Miss
Kinney more debilitated than herself, she
volunteered to remain on Ruk to assist
Mrs. Logan in the Girls' School, that
she might not be left alone.

where she has done much noble service.

Our missionaries enjoyed unexpected
liberty of intercourse with the native
Christians at Ponape, which for many
years has been forbidden them by the
Spanish Governors, while a guard boat
has been stationed to enforce the tabu on
the Morning Star. On the present visit,
the mission.tins freely visited the people.
The chinches were found to be still
alive, and maintaining public worship.
A supply of New Testaments was landed, and eagerly bought up. The Governor was extremely friendly and kind.
The work in most of the Marshall
Islands was found highly prosperous.
The German Kommissar was most
friendly. The German authorities have
learned highly to value the work of our
missionaries and the numerous teachers
located by them. There are no Roman
Catholics there to antagonize and break
up our work; as they do in the Gilbert Is.

THE FRIEND

mi

Mortlock

I think that we never felt so Strongly
the absolute inefficiency in ourselves
and the need of liivine help and guidance in doing the work, as we did when
we turned our laces toward the islands
of the east at this time.
On Sunday evening, Oct. 25th, we had
a special service ol prayer for God's
blessing and presence on this trip, and
as we talked over the promises of God,
and prayed together, we felt that the
place was shaken, and that we were
filled with the Holy Ghost endued for
service even for this special and important undertaking. We arose from
our knees with the calmest assurance
that His presence would go with us,
that this trip was to be one of the best
ever made to the islands, and richest in
the results for time and eternity.
Our little schooner left Kinamue, Ruk,
on the 26th of October. Capt. Foster
had the schooner in good trim- every
thing in ship shape; and with Chas.
Gierow, an old salt, for mate, and some
of our best schoolboys for sailors. Mrs.
Logan and I went to do the work, and
as we launched our little boat away from
the shore, she remarked that it reminded
her of the old times of the happy tours
with Mr. Logan.
A light wind compelling us to anchor
that night just inside the passage, we
entered the open sea early the next morning, and our stomachs were soon con
scions of every movement of the light
little craft. Nave was in sight at 3 p.m.,
and at five Mrs. Logan, Moses, and I
landed. A high sea was running in ovjr
the reef, but after some clashing about,
we got safe to shore, and were warmly
welcomed by the teacher and his people.
Alexander the teacher and his wife
Alexandrina, have been on this island
about five years. They are among the
poorest of our teachers so far as culture
and native ability are concerned, but
have kept themselves from the evil one,
and their work gives considerable evidence of stability. VVe had a service in
the church by lamplight, and it was a
tender one. Moses spoke pleasantly of
his former work on this island, and
referred to the death of Zippora a few
days before. He said that he missed
her very much, but was happy because
she had worked so long for Jeaus and
died in peace. The teacher had just
lost a daughter, and Moses' words
seemed especially helpful to them.

Mrs. Logan and her girl occupied for earnest men, living up to their light as

about 150 people. Though smaller than
Losap, this islet is much more fertile.
Mr. Treiberhad organized a chinch here,
which has had a precarious existence.
On my former journeyings I had nol
visited this place, considering it so near
Losap that they ought to join in with
them; but last year Justinia, the wife of
a fallen teacher, had opened a school
here, and held daily services with the
women and children. She came to
Losap and got our promise to spend
Sunday with them, then went home to
get the people ready. We found the
rubbish about the church cleared away,
a neat path from the sea shore, and the
people washed and dressed. It was
Saturday, 2 p.m., when we arrived:
There is a good church building 2(1x10
with puncheon sides and floor. Only
one man could be found who had not
fallen away; but through the faithful
work of Justinia a large number came
forward as candidates for baptism. The
Losap teacher and deacons were set
over this weak church. Parents wanted
their children baptized. I told them to
bring them in and we would name them
so as to save time on the morrow. They
ran out to bring them in—little naked
brownies with bright black eyes, seeming
ghv of us; boys and girls of various ages,
acting like babies in our own part of the
world, brought one by one to be named
anil legistered. No mother knew the
age of her own babe. After we had
exhausted our knowledge of Scripture
names, we had to fall back on such
names as Jane, Kate, Tom and Ned.
On Sunday we held three services, at
which 35 candidates were received into
the church, and 15 babies baptized.
Then Mrs. Logan held a service with
the women, which she thought was profitable. In no place have the women
shown a more marked interest than here.
Just before service in the morning we had
an interesting object lesson. I had told
them that they must take the rings out
of their ears before they could partake
of the sacrament, and that they must
put clothing on their babies before they
were baptized. I did not think it quite
in taste to baptize naked children, however novel it might be. The babies were
provided for by dint of much effort, but
I noticed they had not taken out their
rings. I arose and told them they must
attend to this matter before the communion would be given them. Some were
inclined to rebel at first, but after a time
all fell into line. This doing was worth
hearing any number of sermons.
In the afternoon we had a good meeting, about 200 being preseut, many
being from Losap, and many were
moved by the truth. After the service
was over, I went down and talked to the
men. One man much interested me,
