Description | Published by the Rev. Samuel Chenery Damon from 1845 to 1885, The Friend focused on temperance and Christian mission to seamen. It began as a monthly newspaper that included news from both American and English newspapers, and gradually expanded to adding announcements of upcoming events, reprints of sermons, poetry, local news, editorials, ship arrivals and departures and a listing of marriages and deaths. From 1885 through 1887, it was co-edited by the Revs. Cruzan and Oggel. The editorship then passed to Rev. Sereno Bishop, who held the post until the publication of the paper fell under the auspices of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in April of 1902 where it remained until June 1954. Since then, it has continued in a different format under the Hawaii Conference-United Church of Christ up to the present day, making it the oldest existing newspaper in the Pacific. Note that there are some irregularities in the numbering of individual issues, so that two issues may have the same volume and number, but different dates will distinguish them. |

She seems to have felt as if she and her husband were never to be separated; that this " perfect married couple," as some one has called them, were in some peculiar way to be exempt from the pain of parting. Many singular stori<'l,s are told of some of the morbid tendencies of her sorrow, but it is simple charity to believe that she is not responsible for them all, and that instead of blame, she should be regarded with the greatest pity. It is very sad that one who seemed to catch such bright and beautiful glimpses of the celestial world should now sit in such darkness and sorr.ow, shut out from those whose hearts she has herself cheered and gladdened. AN ADDRESS FROM M, DE PRESSENSE. One of the treats which the thinking people of Geneva have of late enjoyed, has been an address by M. de Pressense, of Paris, who is one of the noblest representatives of evangelical Christianity in Europe. His theme was " Strauss and Voltaire," and delivered to an immense audience in the Salle de la .H.eforrnation. Having a seat on the platform, I could see to the best ad vantage the sea of faces before me. There is something peculiarly interesting about a Genevese audience. At first one is almost startled by its plainness, its angularity, and a certain weary look which seems to characterize it. You see no richly dressed people, no color, no display as among Americans. You feel as if you were among a people where everybody thinks, and where thought is a bond between all classes. The subject and speaker could not fail to interest every one. Every eye is upon the orator. The working men, the merchants, the • pasteurs,' whose faces come out here and there, sometimes rendered doubly attractive by a fram• ing of silvery hair crowned by a velvlit cap, the Genevese aristocracy, the liberal thinkers, and the earnest upholders of the old faith, all are here. Pressense is now quite in years, his hair is grey, but his grand spint and fire are still unsubdued. He remains seated before the desk, and never once rises to his feet, but pours forth a stream of earnest words, gesturing constantly. His figure is heavy, and his face, at first sight, uninteresting, but full of pleasant expression when lighted with thought. With a few introductory words he passes immediately to his subject, which is a brilliant comparison of two of the greatest thinkers and doubters of any time. Only occasionally does the audience yield to a smile or a round of applause at some ~ell turned point. But every one is intently listening as he rises with rapid steps towards his conclusion, and 1 watch with interest the faces about me, which are full of earnest sympathy. Just behind him sits his old-time friend, Pere Hyacinth, whose voice so often i:s heard in this same hall. His face lights up most pleasantly every now and then, and you feel that' these two great orators, though differing uudoubtedly in reference to some minor points, are yet, after all, in sympathy on the great and essential principles of a living Christianity. Pressense exerts gr.e at influence ao-ainst !Scepticism and infidelity in Europe~ In France, this is especia·lly • marked, and he is regarded as an aid, not only to the Protestant, but also the Catholic party, although he is himself most purely evangelical. His "Life of Christ" was a most powerful answer to .H.enan's brilliant but sceptical romance on the life of the founder of Christianity. Although a clergyman, he has taken a prominent part in French politics; and if ever religious liberty and toleration shall gladden the heart~ of Christians in France, he will be regarded as one who has largely aided to bring about this most necessary reform. A TRIP ROUND LAKE LEMAN. A few quiet moments give me an opporturnty of telling you of our safe arrival in Lausaune. We had the pleasant company of Dr. and Mrs. Stevens, as well as those charming Scotch ladies, the Misses Todd. While in their company, guide-books seem_ed quite superfluous, for they have seen Europe, e~pecially Switzerland, with such beautyloving eyes, that not a point has escaped them, and it is a pleasure to listen to them. 80 here I am in the shadow of the old cathedral spires of Lausaune, feeling a little oddly to be out of Geneva, where I have been for so many months. The sail in the afternoon sunlight, with the fresh cool May air in one's face, and the ever-changing panorama of mountain and plain, was most delighiful. Excursionists, with shawl-straps and guide-books, are becoming more and more numerous, and every boat that goes up the lake has its sprinkling of travelers. There is something always interesting about the passengers. There is the English. lady under her umbrella. quietly reading her guide-book. Then the French artist, bound to Montenegro, to be in the midst of war scenes, which he will depict for Parisian newspaper readers. Young Englishmen and Germans, bright French girls, etc. In the forward part of the boat, the second class passengers, who are almost always the most interesting, for they come, as a general rule, from the peasantry of the country, whose shores we are skirting. As the clouds continued to rest in such unyielding masses over the Alps, we confined our thoughts and gaze principally to the Vaudois side, with its beautiful plain sweeping up to the Jura. Just beyond Cop pet, the residence of Madame de Stael begins the Canton de Vaud, rich in fertile lands and vineyards, and the home of a sturdy, industrious peasantry, and an unfettered Protestantism. The chain of the Jura rises as a line of battlements against the western sky. By the winding zigzai road which clinibs the mountain side, in the far distance, you reach the summit of the Dole, the highe~t point of the Jura, where Byron wrote his celebrated description of the thunder-storm*, as given in the third canto of Childe Harold, where words seem to have caught the electric thrill and become themselves a part of the wild play of the elements. There is a charming lack of the modern element in all the magnificent sweep of country which is spread out before us. The towns are quaint and picturesque, which nestle down by the water's side or dot here "Far along, From peak to peak, the rattling crags among Leaps the live thunder!

At Nyon is a fine old feudal castle. On the opposite shore lies Yvoise, from whence, tradition tells us, a valiant warrior (If the olden time used to swim the lake on his " ·white charger" in his attacks on the Paysde Vaud. Among the clustering trees can be seen the old chateau, whose last owner was Joseph Bonaparte. Here is the beginning of "the vines of La Cote," from which come the most famous of the Swiss wines. One old castle after another comes in view, each with its historic associations; but none more interesting than that of the days of the good Queen Bertha, who':le name still lingers in these sunny uplands, and is still the synonym of all that is wise and industrious. So strong and firm do the walls of her castle stand that we can scarc~ly believe that hundreds of years have flown since this most exemplary lady rode hither and thither in her kingdom, distaff in hand, an inspiration to all her subject::;. But our boat is at Ouchy, almost before w~ are willing to land. The mountains which have been growing grander as we came nearer, are now most beautiful. There is something so suggestively island-like about them as they rise abruptly from the blue waters of the lake, that it gives me a little of a home-sick twinge to think that I am here in the heart of Switzerland, and that the brightest and most beautiful iJands that gleam on the waters of the Pacific, are 8000 miles away. The mountains open like a great gate-way, and we look up to the point where the Rhone rushes in, for a time co lose itself in the placid waters of Lake Leman. Showers are stealing down the valley, amidst whose shimmering, misty folds shines for a moment, the tremulous fragment of a rain-bow. But this is Uuchy, and here we land. The famous hotel, Beau Rivage, with its sloping . grounds and blossoming trees, the memory of the little Inn, wliere Byron wrote, m two rainy days, his dcathles1:1 " Prisoner of Chillon, ·' and the square medireval tower which rises grimly at the entrance of the port, are all that make 0uchy interesting.

After supper, at our quiet little hotel, we went out to see the spot rendered famous as being once the home of the historian Gibbon. \Ye had these words of the gl'eat writer himself to gmde us-" It was on the day, or rather the night, or the 27th of June, 1787, between the hours of 11 and 12, that I wrote the last line of the last page (Decline and Fall of the Roman .Empire) in a summer house in my garden. After laying down my pen I took severa.l turns in a berceau, or covernd walk of acacias, which commands a prospect of th~ country, the lake and the mountaintl.

The anniversary ~this association calls forth an address of marked ability. That by Rev. Mr. Alexander, is far above the average of former years. The following is an outline of the address: lt is interesting to see whether the most intuitious of truth and duty to build temples of science and religion.

Hyde, D.D. animated that missionary society it1 planting mission stations on these islands more than a half-century ago. His arrival here has called forth a most generous response from the Christian public throughout the islands, in contributions for.a dwelling house for his family. During the anniversary meetings he has been present and takes his stand upon committees and in various ways, indicating that his services will become a most useful element in the working forces of the Christian community. Dr. Hyde preached in our Bethel pulpit the 10th of June a most excellent sermon, taking for a text Christ's words, John 13:10, " He that is washed, needetb not save to wash his feet, but.is clean every whit: " the preacher described the circumstances which occasioned this utterance. The washing of the disciples' feet was showa to be more than an illustration and exemplification of Christian humility. It was symbolical, also significant of the spiritual truth that for Christian character and conduct we need not only " the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Ghost," but also daily recourse to Christ Jesus for daily forgiveness. A true interpretation of the language shows a distinction made in the text between a bath which cleanses the whol(\ person, and a washing of the feet, which the customs of eastern countries made needful very often. The cleansing power of Christ's work and word of forgiving grace was affirmed as freeing the soul fully and at once from the condemning power of sin. But a further work and way of spiritual purification was also shown to be a fact of Christian experience. Io illustrating this lesson of the text, the preacher told of the piece of steel convert,ed by electricity into a permanent magnet. This conversion did not change the chemical constituents of the steel, nor its visible appearance. It simply put the the magnetized steel into new relations to the all pervading force of electricity, perhaps by some change in the arrangement of thf? ultimate particles, adjusting them all according to their polarity. This change of relation is a permanent change, physical science affirms; so that in view of its reliability we say of it, " as true as the needle to the pole.'' A similar permanent change in human character is wrought by conversion. A man is none the less a man, when he is converted: if he is more of a man, it is because he stands in new relations to the love of God, that great attractive and controlling principle which binds in harmony the intelligences of the spiritual universe. We do •ot throw aside the compass, though every locality has its specific variation of the magnetic needle, swerving more or less from the true north and south line. We recognize the necessity of taking special pains to secure a safe com pass. We put the magnetic needle on a pivot, so that it may move easily in any direction: we enclose it in a box, so that it may be shielded from atmospheric currents: we swing it in a double-jointed case, so that in every movement of the ship it may preserve its equil1bnuru ; we use additional special contrivances in every vessel built of iron. But how many Christians are there, mindful and willing to take equ.Ll pains to tiecure that perfection of Christian cliaracter, that blamelessness of Christian conduct, for which they are personally responsible, which the world expects to see in them? While believing the scripture truth that " there is now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus," we must not fr1rget the scriptural limitation,'' which walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit."

TEMPERANCE AT THE w ·uITE HousE.-'l'he Was~ington correspondent of the New York Tribune writes of the recent dinuer given to the Russian dukes: A gentleman who was at the dinner mentions one peculiar fact connected wfth it which probably never before occurred at the White House. It was noticeable that at the plates of President and Mrs. Hayes there were no wine glasses. It has been learned from those having ch:uge of the arrangements for the dinner that Mrs. Hayes absolutely opposed having any wine at the dinner at all, as she is strictly a temperance woman, and the president himself does not drink; but Colonel Casey, master of ceremonies at the White House, and the officers of the state department accustomed to have charge of like ceremonies, expostulated with Mrs. Hayes that the Russian guests had really little ·conception of what a cold water dinner might be, and wquld probably misconstrue the absence of wine. Mrs. Hayes reluctantly consented that wine should be provided for the rest of the guests; bu she positively informed Colonel Casey, who is commissioner of public buildin.gs and grounds in place of General Babcock, and w:ho will have charge of all state occasions at the White House, that hereafter, when citizens of the United States are entertained at the White House, the arrangements must be made to exclude wine. THE trouble with President Hayes appears to be that he has ·never learned the important art of saying one thing and meaning another. He is an old-fashioned man with an old-fashioned prejudice in favor of trut_h. He ar.tual_ly thinks_ that a solemn prormse made by his party m convention, and by himself in his letter of acceptance, is a thing to be kept.-1V: Y. I Even-in-,q Post.

Once when the proud, happy father Carefully muffled the bell, And joyfully sent me the message, " Mother und child a.re well." Again I envied my neighbor, Though my heart fairly ached with its pain, As they carried a little white coffin Out mto the soft summer ruin. For I thought as I sat at my window Alone in my desolate hall, " Its much better to love and to lose Than never to love at all.'' And I, who have gone through life lonely, Forever so lonely must be; For I know very well that in heaven There is nobody waiting for me.

To members of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association GENTLEMEN: We have met in this our annual convocation to consider the state of the field in which we labor, and to devise means for the promotion of righteousness and truth among the Hawaiian people. Some who have been accustomed to meet with us from year to year are not here to-day. Six persons, four Americans and two Hawaiians closely connected with us in our work, have passed away during the past year into the unseen world, where they have met their and our Lord. One of the latter, Rev. Mr. Holokahiki, died at Kalawao, Molokai, soon after our meeting in 1876. He was formerly pastor of the church at Wailupe on this island. Having been dismissed from his pastoral charge, the leprosy developed itself, and for this he was taken to the asylum for lepers on Molokai. Here he acted as pastor for the Siloama church, and labored as he had opportunity for· the spiritual good of the afflicted ones at that place. The other was the beloved wife of Rev. W. B. Kapu, who for fourteen years labored as a missionary at the Gilbert Islands. One of the two American ladies taken away was a pioneer missionary from the United States to these islands. She landed on Hawaii with her husband, Rev. A. Thurston, in 1820. She was a good and true woman, who labored faithfully for the Hawaiians at Kailua, Hawaii. The other was Mrs. E. 0. Hall, the companion of our respected Treasurer. Our brethren Parker and Andrews, have also passed away within a short time of each other. These have all entered into rest. With the afflicted families we sympathize, and would not be unmindful of the exhortation, " Watch, for ye know not the day or the hour when the Son of man cometh." Thfl Hawaiian nation . has been again afflicted in the removal by death of the heir apparent to the throne, and by a tidal wave, which was the occasion of much suffering at Hilo, Hawaii. At our meeting in 1876 a committee was appointed to prepare a circular letter to the churches under our care. A letter was prepared, and a copy sent to each church. Not long since a committee was chosen by the Hawaiian Bpard to solicit funds for the building of a house on the grounds of the Theological Seminary, for the president of that institution.

There have been received into our treasury, (as may be gathered from the Treasurer's report) during the past year, by donations and collections from these islands- For Foreign Missions, F or Home Missions, ]!'or Incidental Fund . .For Theological Rem'i nary. For specific dona tions for Micronesian Missions, $2219 196 2176 45 120 88 03 57 00 00 Total, $4757 48 Contributions for Foreign Missions from .Mic ronesia, 754 31 Grand tot11\ from North Pacific b lands, $ 5511 79 The sales of Scr i.plurcs am! boo ks m fi ve languages of the Nor th Pacilic amo unL t<1 $ 1580.27, (For grants from American Board and for other particulars see Treasurer's report.) A great question, I might say the question for us to consider at this time, is-What are some of the pressing wants of the Hawaiian churches 7 1st, These churches need a more watchful care of the ecclesiastical bodies with which they are connected. Can pastors of churches forsake their work for months to engage in other work, and those who have placed them as pastors to watch the flock have nothing to do or say in the matter? ~d. 8ome way should be devised by which the salaries of those who give them~elves to the work of the ministry should be rnrreased. Educated men will not enter an employ.ment where they suffer for the necessaries of life, when by engaging in another employment for which they may be fitted, they can have a decent livina for themselves 0 and families. 3d. As some of the churches are now constituted, they cannot easily give those who labor for their spiritual good a sufficient salary for their support. Churches that formerly supported their pastors have been divided up into smafl churches, each of whi_ch desire~ a pastor, although they cannot begm to g1Ve a man a decent living. Hence I would suggest as to whether it would not be well to retrace our steps and group together some of the smaller and feebler churches under one pastor, with the expectation that these feeble churches would be able to offer and pay a decent support to those who labor for their spiritual welfare. To illustrate-on the island • of Maui at Kaanapali there was formerly one church, and one Hawaiian did the work better than it is now done, and he had no trouble in gettmg a support. Now there are two churches neither of which is able io offer an inducement to a man to live with, and labor for it. There are just such places in all our associations and presbyteries. Does not this demand the attention of our ecclesiastkal bodies? I am happy to say that the Oahu association has had the subject before it, and has taken action on it. 4th. Another need of these churches is a more full consecration of their members to the service of Christ. It cannot be denied that a spirit inconsistent with the spirit of the gospel has crept . into the lives, if not into the hearts of multitudes connected with our churches. Views not inculcated by the Head of the Church are held by church members. This worldly spirit is eating out the piety and benevolence of our church members. lf -not checked it will prove a curse to our Zion, as it has done to some extent already. 5th. The great need however of our churches is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Where the Spirit takes up His abode, church members are aglow with love, and there is little or no difficulty in supporting the pastor, in contributing to benevolent objects : souls are converted, and the work of God prospers. The mem,bers of such churches find time to pray, to give, to labor for the glory of the Master, and for the upbuilding of the Walls of Zion. During the past year two licentiates, graduates of the Theological Seminary have been ordained, a nd installed as pastors over 59 churches, which had not pastors one year ago. Three persons have received licenses to preach the Gospel, and are laboring with destitute churches, performing the duties tJf pastors. Three pastors have been dismissed from their charges, ostensibly for want of support. One of these has been installed over_ a church which was without a pastor a year ago. The following table shows the number of churches in each ecclesiastical body, and the number having past0rs or stated supplies, and the churches without pastors. _Local Number Churches Churches c Hurche• Ecc lesiastic' ! of with with s t:,t'd with• body. churches. pastors. supplies. neither. - - - - -5 - --- -1 - ---3 1 Kauai ..•. . .• Oahu ...•••• Maui. ......

There are forty-four different ministers, thirty-five of whom are pastors, and nine, stated supplies. In several instances the wants of two or more churches are supplied by one pastor or stated supply. Of the thirty-five pastors, three are American missionaries, two are the sons of mi ssionaries, one is English, and twenty-nine are Hawaiians. Of the nine stated supplies six are Hawaiians. Belonging to the forty churches, whose numbers are reported, are 6587 members in good and regular standing in the respective fields, of whom 176 have been added on profession of faith this year.

Laliainaluna Sernina1·y in which we have. all felt so deep an interest, as its foundations were laid by the fathers of this association, and of which many of our pastors are graduates, has been transformed into an English school. lt is true a very few studies in · the Hawaiian language are to be retained, but for the most part the studies are to be pursued in the English language. The Rev. S. E. Bishop, president of the institution, has resigned his position, and the Hon. H. R. Hitchcock ha s ·been appointed to the vacancy, and will assume the duties of pre5ident at the commencement of the next term. Mr. Baldwin has been appointed Inspector General of Schools, in place of Hon. H. ..R. Hitchcock. The I-Iilo Boardin,q School continues on its way, under the guidance of 1ts Board of Trustees. Mr. Makaimokti is principal. He has two l-:lawaiian assistants. Rev. D. B. Lyman, formerly principal, continues to act as treasurer. These institutions are now under the superintendence of the Hawaiian Hoard of Education; the time having expired, when those who established ·them, can have a voice in their management. The female seminaries in sympath y with us are the same in number as last year, • 60 T B E ~, R I E N D , namely four. They have as many pupi]s as they can weli accommodate. A grant of $500 from the A. B. C. F. l\il. for female education m these islands was di\-·ided by the Hawaiian Board equally among the four schools, giving each $125. Some changes have taken place in the teachers of these schools. Mts. Smith from California, has been added to the teachers of the E ast J1!laui Female Semina1·y. Miss Rowell has retired from the Ifowaiahao Female Seminary, as has Miss Pogue from the Waialua Iremale Seminary, and Miss Thompson from the Kohala Female Seminary. Miss King, it is said , will retire from Kawaiahao Seminary at the close of this.year, and Mrs. M. E . Atwater will take her place. Afrs. and Jrliss Lyons' family ~cbool at Waimea, Hawaii, has been continued the past year; but with fewer pupils, on account of Mrs. Lyous' health. A good work is being done by those who labor in these schools. Though some of the graduates may disappoint the expectations of those who labor for them, ripe fruit is yearly produced by these schools. Make the mo thers of the nation pure, and the population will be pure. • J U L I , I 8 7 7• widow of his brother, late missionary at Mille.

In speaking of Moses Kanoaro, a licensed Gilbert Island preacher in charge of the missionary work on this island, Mr. Bailey says: "Moses Kanoaro gives a good account of things, though it would seem there is no special change since last year." "In company with him and Rev. M.r. Kanoa for inter[Jreter we went on shore to his house, where we saw his wife in her department as house-keeper, which she seemed to administer well, so far as I could judge. At any rate the house and surroundings were very neat." . Maiana. Six persons have been admitted to church fellowship. Rev. W. N. Lono reports the work as not progressing. At an examination, three schools were represented. Population of the island from 2 to 3,000, and thought to be increasing. Of the work here Mr. Bailey reports u the work on Maiana to be going on much as usual. The people at the station give less heed to his [Rev. W. N. Lono's] instructions than do those of a viJlage some eight miles distant to which he often goes. 1f the darkness is passing away it does so very slowly. But Lono and his worthy help-meet seem to have perseverance to hold on, and we may hope that in due season they will reap a rich reward. * * * * 1t must be noted how the people come around the missionary in these islands, and pour into his house and yards, with their often very disagreeable presence, and make themselves very familiar to annoyance. The missionaries are very patient with them, and have much of this sort to bear." Marakei. Rev. D ..l{anoho reports three places where schools ~e held. Mr. Bailey says: "We found the work going on prosperously. * * * * Mr. Kano ho reports 75 church members, and that there is much desire for instruction. There is much drunkenness here as in Tapiteuea, but there is also a strong determination on the part of many to hold on to the ways of the Lord. It would seem that this jsland is among the brightest spots in the Gilbert group. Mr. Kanoho and wife are faithful missionaries." Tarawa. For more than a year no missionary had been resident on this island. Mr. G. Haina returned from Apaiang to his old post in September last. He had visited the church there with Rev. G. Leleo early in the year. Several members were suspended. The Lord's Supper was observed by the church. One h:.s since been added on profession of faith. Whole number in regular standing-4. A Gilbert Island catechist, Simon Kabure, formerly on Marakei, is now at work on Tarawa; as is also John Teraoi of Tapiteuea, a pupil from the training school on Apaiang, for·some years a protege of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society. Apaiang. At this island Messrs. Taylor and Leleo have labored with much success. Tbe training school was prospering. Mr. Bailey says, "The success of the training school at Apaiang has been fully in proportion to the means used, and the young men appear well." Upon .Mr. Taylor's departure one pupil of his school was ~tatim1ed JULY, 1877. as. a catechist on Apaiang, and one on Tarawa. Three others have charge of day schools in as many villages on Apaiang. The church seems to be in a good, healthy condition, and the people generally seem much more respectful and decorous than they have been. Mr. Hailey adds, "Upon the whole, appearances are more favorable for Apaiang now than they have ever been, and we may hope that a great blessing will descend upon this hitherto hard field, if the work is continued." About 200 belong to the Christian party; 65 are in good standing in the church. Population in November, 1871, 2792; in April, 1876, 2823. It is very doubtful whether Mr. Taylor will ever be able to return again to Apaiang. Of Mr. Bingham's work mention has already been made. We add, that Mrs. Bingham is assisting in reading the proofs of the revised Gilbert Islands New Testament, for which book, and also for hymn books, our late delegate says, in· speaking of the work on M.arakei, there is " great demand with no supply." At Butaritm·i and Makin there are two churches, one of which is under the care of Rev. J. W. Kanoa. This church seems to have suffered very much during the late absence of its pastor. Only seven church members are in regular standing. Mr. Bailey says that '' Nan 'l'eitei, brother of the king, sent $200 in gold per 1'forrdng Star to E. 0. Hall & Son, to purchase lumber for a new church." The other church is at Kuma [the north end of Butaritari] and Makin, under the pastoral charge of Rev. R. Maka. It is represented as in a prosperous state; l l persons have been admitted to the church the past year. 59 church members are in regular standing. Mr. Maka's health is not good. ~chools are not in a prosperous state. This island is the most fertile of the group. In speaking of the whole group, our delegate says : "A field of 30,000 people, the number which the Gilbert Islands are supposed to contain, should engage the earnest attention of all workers for the heathen." In our portion of the group there are-1 station occupied a part of the past year by one American, 7 by Hawaiians, 6 outstations, 8 churches, 295 church members in regular standing, 2 American and 8 Hawaiian missionaries, 1 American and 7 Hawaiian female assistant missionaries, 3 native catechists, 10 teachers in day schools. Gl Dr. and Mrs. Pease are no,v here ready to go down on the 111.ondn[J Star. Mr . Kaaia and wife return now to their field. Of Mr. Nawaa and wife mention has been already made. Rev B. G. Snow arnl wife have been com• pelled to leave the field for the present on account of Mr. Snow's health. Mr. and Mrs. Whitney are not strong but continue in the work. The work on these islands has been impeded the past year by wars and rumors of war. JJ,Jille, the island formerly occupied by the late Kahelemauna and his wife ( now Mrs. Nawaa), is spoken of as the most. promising field. in the Marshall Islands 1 Jeremiah a licensed preacher of this group lias been ordained as pastor over the church at Mille, 2 deacons elected by the church, were set apart to their work by the laying on of hands-and 23 persons received into the church,-the chief and his wife among the latter. Andrew a Marshall island man, is the teacher at A1·no. The people very much desire a Hawaiian missionary. Some or 4, in the estimation of Andrew, have passed from death into life. Un the island of ALeJm·o, war has reduced the number of scholars in the schools, aud· also hindered tbe progress of the cause. Mr. Kekuewa, who is th!? Hawaiian teacher there says, "It is a time of darkness at Mejuro. There are 3 great impediments iu the way of the progress of the Gospel, viz : 1st, the con<l~ct of foreigners; 2d, war; 3d, dancing. Jaluij is well supplied by Rev. D. Kapali. Things look pro:sperous at the station. lVIr. Kapali has built a dwelling-house for himself. It will be remembered that there was a severe hurricane on this island two years ago, which did much damage to houses, lands and trees. Capelle . & Co. have stores here, and do a large business. Rumors of war, though there has been no fighting, have not helped on the work. Nlr. Kapali i~ not strong, but labors as he has opportunity, and is respected by foreigner::1 and natives.

'I;he Association m~t, as appoiQted, June 8th at 10 a. m., in the basement of Kawaiahao church ·; forty-nine members were present. Various hindrances k.ept many away whom we had hoped to meet here, but some have gone before us tq that better country and we shall see them no more, till we join them there. Mrs. Lucy G. Thurston, the last of the piopeers, has gone, Mrs. Sarah L. W. Hall, Rev. B. W. Parker and Re\'. U. B. A~drews. The gray locks of the few missionary fathers that remain, admonish us that we cannot expect to have them abide long with us. We hailed with joy the nrrival of Dr. C. M. Hyde, who comes to take charge of our theolog1cal school. We beIieve the Lord still has great blessings $tore for our Hi:nvaiian Zio~. Our deliberations have been emmently harmonious. As in former years, we still find it refreshing to come up to the annual feast. The fellowship we have enjoyed has warmed and quickened our hearts and strengthened our hands; and we trust we shall now return to our various posts tQ labor more earnestly than ever before. We have fifty-nine churches, many of them too feeble to support a pastor, and we recom mend that small neighboring churches be united, that thus their efficiency may be increased. We hear with wonder and joy of the glorious revivals of religion in other lands, yet alas, we are called to mourn over our own leanness. Doubtless the sim; that defile the churches have grieved the Spirit of God. A spirit of worldliness prevails, ancient idolatry has been revived in some places, drinking awa and other intoxicating drinks, impurity in the domestic relations and great indifference to religion. A more vigorous exercise of discipline must be exercised ere we can expect a blessing. When we heartily join in endeavors to purify the churches, we may hope the windows of h-eaven will be opened in answer to our prayer, '' Oh Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known ; in wrath remember mercy." BENEVOLENT CONTRIBUTIONS, [For these see Treasurer's report and statistical table.] SABBATH SCHOOLS Are kept up in most of the churches ; in some with untiring zeal, but in many the sameti.ukewarmness that is taking away the life of the churches, is withering the Sabbath schqol. The command of our Lord, " Feed my lambs," shoulcl lead pastors to devote more earnest care to these schools and not leave them entirely to ~he supe~intendent and teachers. Sit Moon, the Chi~ese colporte~r, has a very interesting Sabbath school of Chinamen in Honolulu. ~OARDING SCHOOLS. +he fe~ble health of Rev. S. E: Bishop has compelled him to resign his post as President of the Lahainaluna Sem~nary, and Hon. H. ~- Hitchcock, formerly employed by the government as superintendent of schools, has been appointed in his place. The zeal felt throughout the nation, to learn the English language, has led to another great change in the institution; hereafter most of the instruction given in the school ·will be communicated in the English language, using Engli~h books. The pupils will thus be admitted to the vast treasures of knowledge found in books in the English language. The boarding school at Hqo enjoys its usual prosperity. Our female boarding schools at Waialqa, Kawaiahao, East Maui and Kohala are all prospering, and they have a jµst claim on the benevolence of those who wish well to the Hawaiian' n~tion. l{espectfµlly submitted, w.
