MANAGER'S NOTICE.
The Friend is devoted to the moraland
religious interests of Hawaii, and is published on the first of every month. It will
be sent post paid for one year on receipt oj
$2.00 to any country in the Postal Union.
The manager o/'l'he Friend respectfully requests thefriendly co-operation of subscribers and others to whom this publication
is a regular visitor, to aid in extending
the list of patrons of this,
"The Oldest Paper in the Pacific,"
by procuring and sending in at least one
new name each. This is a small thing to
do, yet in the aggregate it will strengthen
our hands and enable us to do more in
return than has been promised for the
moderate subscription rate.
Islanders residing or traveling abroad
often refer to the welcome feeling with
which The Friend is received; hence
parties liaving friends, relatives, or acquaintances abroad, can find nothing more
welcome to send than The Friend as
a monthly remembrancer of their aloha,
and furnish them at the same time with
the only record of moral and religious
progress in the North Pacific Ocean.
In this one claim only this journal is entitled to the largest support possible by the
friends of seamen, Missionary and Philanthropic work in the Pacific, for it occupies
a central position in a
field that is attracting the attention of the world more and
mare every year.
The Monthly Record of Events, and
Murine Journal, etc., gives The Friend
additional value to home and foreign
readers for handy reference.
New subscriptions, change oj address, or
notue of discontinuance of subscriptions or
advertisements must be sent to the Manacer
of The Friend, who will give the same
prompt attention. A simple return of the
paper without instruction, conveys no intelligible no'-ee ii'hatever of the sender's intent.

the Papal Church a True Church of
Christ ?

In our boyhood, sixty years ago, all
the Protestants held the Pope to be
Antichrist, and his church to be a synagogue of Satan. Papists en their part
held all Protestants in equal condemnation, and in all Spanish countries,
subjected them to deadly persecution.
Up to 1840, at least, any Protestant
would speedily have been executed, who
should attempt to propagate his doctrine
in South America or Mexico.
The animosity between Popery and
Protestantism is now materially mitigated. Protestants commonly admit that
Romanists may often be true Christians;
and Romanists admit that many Protestants may enjoy the "uncovenanted
mercies" of God. But Rome continues
very energetically to malign her foes.
At an example, a Summer School for
Roman Catholics meets at Plattsburgh,
N. Y. A leading catechism for their use
at that school contains the following, as
quoted from the iX. Y. Observer:
"The second week enters upon Luth
er's motives for attacking the Catholic
faith and inventing a new creed. These
were pride, and jealousy because the
commission to preach Indulgence was
given to the order of .St. Dominic and
not to his own. Reference is then made
to his nailing the ninety-five theses on
the gates of the Wittenburg church, and
it is taught that these false articles were

for the past thirty years at the head of
the noted Mills Seminary in California.
A number of short addresses were made
and many entertaining and some touching reminiscences were indulged in by
elderly people, of incidents of nearly
forty years ago. Mrs. Mills herself is a
most felicttioui talker, and one could
easily comprehend the extraordinary influence which she long held and still
holds over the youth under her guidance.
Among the speakers of the occasion
was Mrs. Persis G. Taylor who, with
Mrs. Mills, graduated from Mt. Holyoke Seminary fifty-five years ago, where

This work was genuine as was shown

Miss Fiske was often very weary

item has been often quoted when a
woman seated herself behind her for
Miss Fiske to lean upon, saying, " If

says " Thus I heard my Savior say,

Time fails to tell of the many noblewomen who in these late years have
given their strength to work for downtrodden women in dark lands in loving
service.
I did wish to speak of that noble
woman, Miss Culbertson, who was such
a blessing to Chinese women and girls
in California, It was a hard field but
bravely she carried the burden and
many will rise up to call her blessed.
With such examples before us, the
question comes home, " Lord, what

The Forward Movement.
We cull the following statements
from Mr. L. D. Wishard's Report on
the Student's Missionary movement
which began in 1879, and bore largefruit first in ISK6, when, at the Mount
Hermon Conference, one hundred men
volunteered for Foreign Missions.
These have now increased to over four
thousand students, who have solemnly
declared it to be their purpose, if God
permit, to become foreign missionaries.
Over 1500 volunteers have enlisted in
the Biitish Universities. Contingents
have been enrolled in Switzerland, Scan
dinavia, Holland, Germany, and France.
Fully 1000 students from 401 institu
tions were present at the last general
convention of the Student Volunteer
Oreat
movement of North America.
Britain h id over 700 present at her first
convention. Extended courses of special
study and reading are prepared for these
volunteers.

powerful discourse by the Key. Dr.

preacher was eloquent and outspoken
against the ancient tyrannies in State

We venture to supplement Dr. Morehouse's impressive sermon by the following consideration
Imagine the

What kind of a world would be left ?
What hope of progress towards political

hopes of the world for the coming day
of Light and Glory in the Keign of
Christ would be set back half a thousand
years. Our nations are full of faults

The Peace Congress.
The special object sought by the Czar
from this Congress at the Hague has
failed of attainment. That was a stopping of the increase of armaments by
the great powers for ten years. There
was an apprehension that Russia cherished grasping designs, and would
specially profit by such a measure.
Valuable progress was made, however,
by the Congress in the direction of establishing a permanent Court of Arbitration. A not remote posterity may per
haps behold an end of wars. For some
time yet the nations are likely to keep
their armor on.
Success of Samoan Commissioners.

The U. S. cruiser Badger called here
last week, having the American and
German Commissioners and 35b0 rifles
surrendered by the Samoans. The latter is a tangible evidence of the success
of their efforts. Both parties have submitted, the rival kings have resigned
their pretensions, the chiefs and people
have agreed to live under such government as the Powers shall establish. A
definite system of government has been
presented to them, but awaits the consent of the three Powers. It is learned
that the proposed Governor is to be chosen from some other nationality than
German, British or American. It remains to be seen whether this new device will remedy the tendency to a
clashing of interests and influences.

Volcano Smoke.

During the 1 Sth and l!)th of July,
Honolulu was so enveloped in smokethat much of the time objects two miles
distant were entirely concealed. This
was two weeks after the beginning of the
eruption from Manna Loa. The smoke
of that eruption was carried to the
northeast many hundred miles by lheupper currents, then falling down into
the lower currents, was brought back by
the trade wind. The smoke has been
even thicker on Maui than here. It appeared on Kauai several days earlier
than here. The Moaua Bailed two days
in the smoke, unable to take the sun,
and seeing no land until sighting Diamond Head.
During the great eruption of I SOU, the
smoke was so dense at Lahaina that
one was unable to see more than threefourths of a mile. The odor of sulphur
was very distinct.
The enormous and explosive emission
of gases from the vent of the volcano at
the outset of an eruption seems to provethat the lava is surcharged with gases,
not steam, which are occluded through
out the molecules of its substance,where
they have lain compressed under immense pressure since the solar system
began to gather and condense. In an
eruption they are released and burst
forth with stupendous and effervescent
explosion. What starts the eruption is
another question. We may ask, where
is the trigger that sets off the gun ? But
the energy that drives the vast explosion,
and that pours out a column of lava for
a year together, evidently resides in the
gases which have always lain shut in
side the lava.
At the same time, it may require somespecial external agency to arouse this
internal force into activity, We incline
to accept the theory that traces an eleven
year period in the activity of our volcanoes, which corresponds to the period of
least sun spots. Prof. C.J. Lyons has
forcibly advocated this theory.
Hawaii to be a Territory.
One frequently meets in American
papers with expressions confounding
the political status of Hawaii and that
of Porto Rico and the Philippines.
Those islands were acquired by war, and
their status is undetermined.
It is
likely to become Colonial, because their
inhabitants speak no Engliafl and are
unfamiliar with American institutions.
To confound Hawaii's case with theirs
betrays ignorance. Hawaii was annexed by the Newlands Resolution as a
part of United States territory, and it

THE FRIEND.
was expressly stipulated that,
" Until legislation shall be enacted
extending the United States customs
laws and regulations to the Hawaiian
Islands, the existing customs relations
of the Hawaiian Islands with the United
States and other countries shall remain
unchanged.'' Hawaii formally accepted
annexation on those terms and they bind
both parties.
This means for one thing that Ha
waiian sugars arc to continue to be ail
mitted as now, free of duty, until Congress extends to Hawaii the United
States customs laws, which will make
all Hawaiian products free. There is
thus no danger of discrimination against
Hawaiian products. Congress is dc
barred from so discriminating.

to Hawaii.

Mr. I). A. Ray was here last year with
the United States Commission as their
Secretary. He now comes again to obtain additional inform ttion foi Senator
Cullom in pushing the bill presented last
year by the Commission to organize a
Territorial Government. Mr. Ray has
particularly in view the present condition
of the labor system of the islands, which
is likely to be a prominent subject when
the Hawaiian question comes up in
Congress. Mr. Ray scouts the idea that
a "colonial" form of government will
be considered by Congress, or any other
than a territorial. He believes that the
subject will receive prompt attention.
Mr. Kay says,"The Commissioners
have a high regard for the present Gov
eminent, and personally I consider it
the best on the face of the earth."
We believe it is true that the most
acrid critics of the present Government
charge upon it no corruption, and admit
its entire integrity.
There is no doubt that the contract
laborers on the plantations are generally
well treated, and in prosperous condition.
There is room for improvement in making their quarter! more homelike. Any
assault upon the person of a laborer is
promptly punished by the magistrates.
Mr. Ray will undoubtedly find these to
be facts, and will so report.

Colored Troops for Manila.

Among the numerous regiments of U.
S. Regulars which have passed through
Honolulu during Jril)-, en route to Manila, have been large numbers of colored
soldiers. The men have a thoroughly
soldierly appearance. It has been a surprise to see that but few of them are very
dark. Apparently they average at least
one half of white blood in their veins.
Very many must be quadroons and a
majority mulattoes. It will not be
strange if a considerable proportion of
these fine looking men should become
permanent residents of the Philippines.

The delegation to the Council is
booked to leave Sept. sth, by the Aus
tralla. Possibly, however, they may
leave August 18th. It expects to leave
San Francisco on the return trip, by the
same steamer, October 15th.
It was a great surprise to all to have
the Star back again so early, and it was
with sincere regret that we learned the
cause of her return. Mrs. Logan has
gone to be treated by specialists on the
mainland, where the advantages are
greater than they are here, and where
the climate is more bracing. Kind
friends in the city helped speed her on
the way.

The work of repair is being pushed
on the Star, to fit her as soon as possible for the return voyage. She will
probably sail very soon after the first
Sunday in August. She goes straight
to Kusaie. The voyage, as first scheduled, will be abridged about thirty days,
leaving a loss of little over a month
which cannot be made up. The Star
may be expected back at the usual time
of former days, early in April.

Telephone Improvement.
Superintendent John Cassidy has returned from a two months' absence on
the mainland. He promises a new
switch boaid that will produce very great
improvement in the operation of the
Honolulu telephone system.
The old stone building on Fort street,
long occupied by May & Co.'s grocery,
is about to be torn down and replaced
by a five-story structure. It has stood
Ihere for 17 years. Theold Honolulu is
steadily disappearing.
Lanai has a wharf opposite Lahaina,
which extends 300 feet, into nine ftet of
water. A railway runs thence to the
million dollar plantation, three miles
north.
The line of the Oahu Railway was
ago for its first two
miles to a course half a mile nearer the
sea.
This was done in order to avoid
certain steep grades in Kapalama and
Kalihi. Passengers thereby lose the interesting view of the Kamehameha Girls'
School.
The amount of freight that is being
moved by this road seveiely taxes the
capacity of its rolling stock. Much
