Friend, 1876-08

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.

We have learned with much pam of his death in Toronto, Canada, on the 23d of June. After years of absence he was returning for a brief visit to his native land, but it was his Father's will that he should be called to "a better country, even a heavenly." Dr. Henderson's death will be a heavy loss to the Christian church in which he bad so long and faithfully served. His name will ever be most lovingly cherished by a wide circle of friends and fellow-workers. We recall now most vividly a remark which he made during his brief sojourn in Honolulu, which, in view of his recent death, has a most interesting significance. Speaking of the latP Dr. Guthrie of Scotland, and of the beauty and grandeur of his life and work for the Master, Dr. Henderson said : 11 At the time of Dr. Guthrie's death I wrote to his daughter congratulating her on her father's co1·ona.tion.~' In like manner, looking beyond the sadness and grief of personal loss, we would ask those to whom he was dear to rejoice that another has received the crown and palm. A NEW name has been added to the list of the '' honored dead," that of President Stearns of Amherst College. All who ever met him will recall the beauty and purity of his countenance, which in this life seemed to shinr with the glory . of that light into 'fnE women of the United States have taken up the cause of temperance reform and the work will move forward. A glance at the Mm·ning, a r.ew paper published by them, will convince any one that they have taken hold of a work which they intend to ~ccompl!sh. Fifteen hundred young ladies rn one city have pledged themselves not to associate with young men who are in the habit of using liquor, and say they will demand purity for purity and sobriety for sobriety. We have long enough been the sile~t so.rro~ing victims of a most gigantic evil, thmkrng we bad no power to rescue db t · ld t.. u 1;1e swor Ours e l ves . W e cm1 no t wie there is a moral power in united persistent effort-with prayer that no evil can withstand. _ __ _ _ _ ___ U Dr. Schliemann, of whom mention is made elsewhere in this number, ha~ just obtained a new firrnan for two years exploration at Troy, and was to proceed there on May 5th to build some frame houses, &o to be able to continue the excavations by the 2lst .ot May. a:r A private letter from the Sandwich Islands, published in the Christian H.egister, contains this paragraph: "I am more than ever convinced that the salvation of the Orthodox Church is in its foreign missions. It is impossible to read the history of these islands, and see from what a horrid and rnvolting condition they have been brought to the quiet, safe, and orderly life of to•day, through missionary zeal and work, without believing heartily in Christian missions to foreign lands. Meantime the reaction upon the churches sustaining these missions has maintained them in healthful vigor. { believe the first essential of the {foitarian Church, if it is to live and transmit its truth and the noble examples of its saintly lives to coming generations, is the missionary spirit.', A TRIP TO 'THE CENTENNIAL-No. 6. The Fomth of July, 1876. Having spent the charming month of June among the hills of New England, J returned to Philadelphia last evening in order to be present at the Centennial exercises in this memorable city, associa- I ted with the signing of the Declaration of Independence, jus~ one centur.y ago to-d_ay. Soon afte_r my arrival ]~st evening, th~m1les of torch lights were witnessed, and 1t was twelve o'clock before the pageant had passed, when the Great Bell on Independence HaH announced First Century of the Republic a s · d d d th N c t b en e 'an . e ew en ury eg~n. The evenmg was m~:::t propitious. .The moon wa-s nearly at its full, and as Milton says, "rode forth in peerless splendor." All the inhabitants of Philadelphia must have • turned out, for the streets were filled with the eager expectants of the brilliant t'lhow and the long miies of tramping soldier::;, musical bands, and the endless exhibit of industrial and mechanical handicraft. Scarcely had my eyes been dosed in sleep, ere I was awakened by the band marching up Walnut street p1aying Yankee Doodle, and following an muminated car, with the~e words displayed, "the 100 birthday. From that early hour until the present moment thP,re has been one incessant patriotic demonstration of fireworks, and while am writing, the children in the street, under my window, are firing off crackers and other p)~rotechnic combu_at.ibles, not much to my peace of mind. *· :!!* * I have just returned from the grand and glorious 4th· celebration, where the poet Bayard Taylor recited his poem,--Evarts delivered !,is oration--the band ()f musicians and singers sungpatriotic songs, Dom Pedro, General Sherman, Phil. Sheridan, and othe-r notables were presented to the vast assem ~ blage,--sucb uproarious hurrabs I never heard before.· · Cin~ar said , "I came, I saw , I 66 T H E ., lt I E N ll , A U G U S T , conquered," I can in part echo the sentiment, "1 came, I saw, I wondered." 1t is impossible in the midst of these exciting scenes, to give a detailed description of this wonderful Exposition, which is proving s~ch a grand success. I expect to devote the week to visits upjn the Centennial Grounds when I shall hope to give my impressions. 8 7 6. state, and towards old Monadnoc, a sister mountain in New Hampshire, and crossed the ridge separating the waters flowing into the Merrimac from those going to swell the Connecticut. The tributaries of these two rivers, as well as the rivers themselves, are •most admirably adapted to manufacturing purposes ; hence factory-villages greet the eye at almost every turn in this part of the state. At Gardner I visited one of the great manufactories of chairs, supplying the world with an article of civilization which so many uncivilized nations and tribes find it difficult to use! A chai'r may almost be styled the dividing point between the civilized and the uncivilized nations of the earth ! It is no easy achievement to induce a savage to sit in a chair! A Week in the Connecticut Valley. To spend a week in the charming month of June in the beautiful valley of Connecticut River is a privilege, which should compensate one for many of the unpleasant scenes through which he may have passed during life's journey, while he may have been roaming over oceans, islands and continents, some of which are far . less invitrng and delightful. Commencement at Amherst was the chief attraction which drew me to this part of Massachusetts, but in order to accomplish this most desirable result, I aimed to combine visits among old family friends and visits to various places rendered noteworthy by historic associations and educational enterprises. Uutil the traveler ascends some high and commanding standpoint and looks out upon this beautiful amphitheater of surrounding nature, em-bracing mountains, hills and valley, do\Yn which the Connecticut-as Holland describes it "winding and willow-fringed,"-wends its \Vay meandering to the ocean, can he fully -realize what a wealth of scenery and storehouse of learning is embraced within radius of a very few miles. On Monday, June 26, I visited such a point of observa- On reaching Montague it was my privilege to examine the far-famed works of the '' John Russell Cutlery Company," from which manufactory Honolulu people and dwellers on the Pacific isles have bought many a knife ! These extensive works are now situated at Turner's Falls, on the Connecticut., At the same spot is a paper manufactory, where I sctw at one end of the establishment logs of poplar ,vood undergo• ing the process of being cut in pieces, and at ·the other end bundles and packages of paper ready for transportation to the market, and to be used in the newspaper offices of Boston and elsewhere. I know the Boston I-Ieralcl is printed upon this paper, manufactured from poplar wood! I looked with interest upon the process so far as it could be examined, in passing through the immense estab- tion. From the tower of Smith , College, Northampton, I looked forth upon this region so richly endowed by the God of nature and the accumulated labors and toils of the people during the past two hund,red and more years. The following villages alJd towns with their church-spires, adorn this part of the valley of the Connecticut: Northarnpton, East Hampton, South Hadley, Amherst, Old Hadley, Hatfield, Sunderland, Greenfield, Montague, Belchertown, Florcnce, and other places which I cannot recall. With many of these towns are associated lishment. Through the extensive cutlery establishment, it was my privilege to be conducted by Mr. Clapp, the son-in-law of our U. S. Minii:.ter Resident in Honolulu, who is one of the owners and managers. If any one doubt8 the marvelous power of machinery and the wonderful ingenuity of man-Yankees-he must come and see! One glance is better than a book of description, and a thousand times more satisfactory than a newspaper article ·or letter from a passing visitor. events of the most thrilling interest in the annals of New England hi st ory. I have omitted the name of one town peculiarly interesting; .I rder to Denfield, where occurred that terrible masimcre of Bloody Brook, the remembrance of which carried sorrow to so many hearts, in the seventeenth century. It was at a celebration of this event, that Edwar<! Everett some years ago delivered one of his most choice and classic orations. On leaving Worcester 1 pasl:ied over the raiiroad, taking me under the shadow of old 'Wachuset fvlountain, the highest land in the Monday, June 26, not being fully occupied with Commencement Exercises, in cornpany with two ladies, 1 was enabled to make a pleasant excursion to the far-famed Mt. H(llyoke Female :Seminary. Although it was during vacation, we were privileged to pass over the premises and through the spacious halls, where some three hundred young ladies are .during term-time in constant attendance, •taught by about twentv teachers. Perhaps• for a solid and usef;l education this seminary stands at the highest point among all the female seminaries ·of America. Other seminaries partially modeled after this one, originally established by Miss Lyons, have been started in the western country; and the Mills' Seminary at Br()oklyn, Cal., has drawn its inspiration from the same source. From South Hadley we crossed the Connecticut by a ferry and visited Northampton, the " Norwood" of Beecher:s only romance. Here we glanced through the beautiful apart-· rnents of Smith College,· where young ladies are invited to pursue a finished classical course of study. The first class has already entered and been taught one year, while a larger class is expected to enter on the opening year. The grounds and surroundings are most tasteful and neat. The Recitation rooms are in every respect such as the most fastidious must admire. The department of Natural History is to receive a due share of attention. The collection of curiosities is not large at present. As I have already observP-d, the view from the tower is transcendently grand and beautiful. We shall look for most gratifying results in the future of Hmith College. While at Northampton we also visited the school for deaf-mutes, conducted on the new plan which entirely discards the old system of signs and hand-symbols. This svstem is based upon the principle of ;peaking flf}m the peculiar motion of the lips. We were introduced by the teachers to the pupils, who certainly displayed such skill in lip-speaking as was quite surprising -and wonderful. We certainly obtained some new ideas by visiting Clark-School for Deaf. Mutes. There is much of true historic interest in Northampton. It was there that President Edwards, the great divine of America, once lived. The site of his residence is still pointed out and visited by all lovers of Puritan doctrines and intellectual study. A magnificent elm tree now marks the spot. From this interesting and ancient relic we passed over to the cemetery, where repose the remains of David Brainerd, over whose grave there is a marble slab with this inscription: · " Sacred to the memory of the Rev. David Brainer?, a faithful and labol'ious missionary to the Stockbridge, Delaware, and Susqueb:i.nnah tribes of Indians; who died in tbis town Oct. 10, 1747; aged 82." Beside Brainerc.rs grave was that of Jerusha Edwards, who died Oct. 14, 1747, only four days subsequently. These notable persons would doubtless have been soon married, if death had not so unexpectedly intervened; so says tradition !-so says history! From here we crossed over the beautiful Connecticut once more and entered Hadley, so rich in_ historical association s. Here the Regicides were for a long time con~ T II Ji; 1 R I E N D , A U G U S 'l, , 1 cealed, and during that concealment one of them came forth and led the soldiers to Indian warfare and then retired, leading some to imagine that God had sent His angel to deliver the people from the tomahawk and scalping knife of the Indian. In Hadley resides one well known at the islands, Mrs. Bonney, formerly Miss Emma Peck. The old time-honored and much frequented Commencement Exercises of New England colleges, are passing away before the onward and combined march of Base Ball, Boating, Class Days, and other modern innovations. 'f his method of working off the exuberance of youthful fervor and ambitious aspirations of the collegians may be an improvement, but the older class of graduates do not think so, yet there is no· alternative; the inevitable must be borne and the situation accepted. Commencement Exercises opened with the Baccalaureate Sermon, prepared by the much esteemed, much respected and much lamented President Stearns several weeks before his death. It was delivered Sabbath morning in the College Church by President L. C. Seelye, of Smith College, Northampton, and was most appropriate, even if the beloved president had foreseen that death was near he could not have prepared a more timely discourse. His subject was- such able ministers, who are inclined to cast in their lot among the ministers of the gospel on this side of the Atlantic. On Monday followed Prize Speaking, and on Tuesday "Class Day" exercises. In the evening of the same day, there was a" G1·and Concm·t of the Class of '76," in which some of the most noted performers of ~merica took a part, including the famous "Mendelssohn Quintette Club" of Boston. 'fhe ·exercises of the following day, Wednesday, were "Junior Class Physical Exercises," including dumb-bell and other athletic performances, in which the young men acquitted themselves most creditably. "Alumni meeting" followed, when the Rev. Dr. Leeds, the rector of an Episcop8' church in Baltimore and the class of '35, delivered a most finished and polished oration, abounding with apt and graceful classical allusions. I have rarely ever listened to an address of this nature and on such an occasion, which was more appropriate. 'fhe real " Commencement Exercises" were to come on the following day, and I only regretted that my very limited time would not allow me to remain and listen to the orations of the ten young gentlemen rep• resenting a class of seventy,-the largest which has ever graduated from Amherst. Compelled to hasten away from the halJowed precincts of Amherst, 1 did not retfre without many pleasant regrets. There we spent five and a half years in study, while associated with many young men as ~iassmates and fellow students who have made their mark in life. Amherst College has no occasion to be ashamed of her 2,00(J graduates who have gone forth during die past half century. Th l is co lege is one of the very best types of our American colleges, which are institu- T/ie opp01·tunities ancl responsibilities of educated young men. Most earnest appeals were put forth exhorting young men to love their country. There was an allusion to the late war. in which a son of the president had fallen, to which a reference was made in the following touching passage of the discourse : " God grant tbut such scenes may never be repeated ! but, should tbe dreadful voice of divine retriaution summon you to the b11,ttles of righteousnessspnre neithe1· your own life nor the life of him who is l1is motber's joy.

My principals would give me no promotion; they probably thought that a person who shows his incapacity for the business of a servant in an office is therefore quite worthless for any higher duties. At last, through the intercession of my worthy friends, L. Stoll of Mannheim and Ballauff of Bremen, I had the good fortune to obtain a situation as correspondent and book-keeper in the office of Messrs. B. H. Schroder and Co. in Amsterdam, who engaged me at a salary qf 1200 francs (48l.) ; but when they saw my zeal, they paid me 2000 francs as an encouragement. This generosity, for which I shall ever be grateful to them, was in fact the foundation of my prosperity; for, as I thought that I could make myself still more useful by a knowledge of Russian, I set to work to learn that language also. But the only Russian books that I could procure were an old grammar, a lexicon, and a bad translation of Telemachus. In spite of all my inquiries I could not find a teacher of Russian, for no one in Amsterdam understood a word of the language: ~o I betoole ~yself to study without a master, and, wi"th the help of the grammar, I learnt the Russian letters and their pro: nunciation in a few days. Then, following my old method, I began to write sl}ort stories of my own composition and to learn them off by heart. As I had no one to correct my work, it was, no doubt, verv bad indeed, but I tried at the same time to·correct my faults by the practical exercise of ]earning Telemachus by heart. It occurred to me that I should make more progress if I had some one to whom l could relate the adventures of Telemachus; so I hired a poor Jew for 4 francs a week, who had to come every evening for t\\ o hours to listen to my Russian recitations. of which he did not 4nderstand a syllable. As the ceilings of the rooms in Holland consist of single board~, people on the groundfloor can hear ,vhat is said in the third story. My recitations therefore, delivered in a loud voice, annoyed the other tenants, who complained to the landlord, and twice during my study of the Russian language I was forced to change my lodging8. But these inc.onveniences did not diminish my zeal, and in the course of six weeks I wrote my first Russian letter to a Russian in London, and I was able to converse fh1ently in this language with the Russian merchants who had come to Amsterdam for the indigo auctions. After I had concluded my study of the Russian language, I began to occupy myself seriously with the literatures of the languages which I had learnt. In the beginning of the year 1846, my worthy principals sent me as their agent to St. Petersburg, where a year later I established a mercantile house on my own account; but, I was so overwhelmed with work that l could not continue my linguistic stu,cl~es, and it was not till the year 1854 that I fo1.rnd it possible to acquire the Swedish and P,olish languages. Great as was my wish to learn Greek, I Qid ,n ot venture upon its study till l had acquired a moderate fortune; for I was afraid that this language would exercise too great a fascination upon me and estrange me from my commercial business. When, however, AUGUST, I 8 7 G. 69 1VIAl{INE JOUl{NAL. l could no longer restrain my desire for Imming, l at last set vigorously to work at Greek in January, IE56; first with Mr. N. PORT OF HONOLULU.

In sacred associations, connected with scenes of Hevolutionary memorirs, it stands quite alongside with Faneuil Hall. For some years, however 1 it has ceased to be frequented as a place for religious worship. The "New Old South" has arisen in the growing and most fashionable part of Boston. The question hus been long under discussion, what shall be done with the " Old 8outh " edifice? For some years it has been the post-office of Boston, but no longer being required for that purpose, the spirit of trade and the desire to utilize so valuable a spc,t as that upon which the building now stands, have demanded that it should be sold, and stores go up in its place. So strong has been the pressure that a few days since the "Old South" was actually sold under the auctioneer's hammer for less than $2,000. The ruthless work of demolition had actual1y commenced, This was too much for Bostoniaus ! They cotild not see the building crumbling before their eyes! The· Rev. Mr. Murray declares he wept over the sight! I have no doubt others did the same. But what was to be done? "Love of gain," cares but little for tears of sentiment! An enterprising firm of merchants, as a last resort, proposed to give $100,000 on certain conditions, provided $300,000 could be raised, the s um s ufficient to buy the premises. Seven days of respite were obtained, duri11g which period n. final appeal should be rnaqe to the public; of course Boston now must bring forth her most eloquent o,.-a .. tors to address the people. A public meetin.g was convened within the walls of the isacred' ed1µ.ce on the 14th of June, at 12 noon. It was my privilege to be present with the dense throng filling ground-floor and galleries of the building. It was worth a visit to America, to vis it the "Old South" on su ch an occasion. The historic Past stood pleading with the Progressive Spirit of the Age. The sentiments uttered on that occasion found expression from the lips of America's most finished orator, Wendell Phillips. and perhaps the most eloquent pulpit orator of New England, the Rev. W. H. H. Murray. From these eloquent appeals I shall quote :i. few passages: After referring to Bunker Hdl, the old !forth Church and the revolutionary monume~ts, Mr. Phillips said that it was the work of men and the mE·c hanics of Boston that made the Green Dragon so famous. (Applause.) The consecration that thE- Puritans gaye to these walls, to Christ and the church i n 1729 is annull ed.

(Applause.) tion when Adams and Otis dedicated them ,. The Chairman then introduced the Rev. to liberty. (Cheers and applause.) We W. H. H. Murray, who said: Gentlemen don't come here to save the walls that have of Boston-I have read of a custom in echoed to the prayers of Cotton and Prince heathen lands, where after the feast and the and Eckley and the early saints of the col- joy were ended they served up a human ony. We come here to save the walls that sacrifice. and I feel that perhaps you have echoed the sublime thought of Quincy when feasted to your fill, until the cup of your joy he said: "No matter where nor how nor runs over, and you are ready for a sacrifice, for what cause, I mean to die a free man for you know that a man might as well die and not a slave_!" (Applause.) These oratorically as speak after Phillips. Mr. arches will echo as long as they stand with Murray said that the Chairman had requestthis sublime and ~turdy religious enthusiasm ed him to speak with special reference to the of Adams, with the unequaleJ eloquence of money aspect of tbe case. He impressed Otis, with Warren in his young genius and upon his hearers the necessity of work if enthusiasm. I will not say it is a noble con- they would save the old building. The secration, I will not say that it is a better question of values comes in to be considered use; I only say we come here to save what in this meeting. You are a jury of apour fathe · consecrated to the great memo- praisement. The great and living question ries of the greatest struggle that the rare has which comes before us is : Is this building ever seen for the liberties of man. (Ap- worthy of preservation? There is no value plause.) in anything material save as it benefits manyou spend half a million for a school kind ; and the measures of value is the house.

One night often scuttles a whole life. The leakage of the night keeps the day forever ·N · h • • , h . . empty. ig t is sm s arvestmg time. • • • • 1\11'1.ore sm and crime are committed m one night than in all the days of the week. This is more emphatically true of the city than of the country. We live in a different world after dark. The street lam s like a . • . . . P' file of. soldiers_ with to~ch m hand, stretch away rn long Imes on e1ther sidewalk; the gay-colored transparencies are ablaze with attractions; the saloons and billiard halls are •ii· I . . . bn iant y 11lummated; music sends forth its enchantment; the gay company begin to .gather to the haunts and houses of pleasure ; the gambling dens are aflame with palatial s p!endor; the theaters are wide open; the mills of destruction are grinding health, honor, happiness, hope out of thousands of Jives. The city under the gas-light is not the same as under God's suuliaht. The allu rt ments and perils and pitfall~ of night are a hundred-fold deeper and darker, and more destructive. Night life in ot.ir cities is a dark _problem, whose depths and abysses and wh1rlpools make us start back with hor!or. All_ night long tears are falling, blood 1s streaming, hearts are blPedina, sin is curs0 ing, crime is riotina. Wails load the air and the burdened, anguished cry goes up t~ he~ven. Every night young men sink to rise no more. Young men, ttil~ me how and where you spend your evenrngs, and 1 will write out the chart of your character and final destinv with blanks to insert your names, It see~~ to me an appropriate text would be "Watch~nan, what Qf the night?" Policeman, pacing thy beat, what of the night?" What are the young men of the city doing nights? Where do they spend their evenino-s? Who are their associates? What are°their habits? Where do they go in, and what time do you see them come out? _Policemen, would the night-life of young men commend them to the confidence of their employers? Would it be to their credit? Make a record of the nights of one week. Put in the morning pa per the names of all the young men their habits and haunts that are on the streef for sinful pleasure. Would there not be shame and confusion ? Some would not dare to go to their place of business ; some would not return home at nirrht; some would leave the city; ~ome would°commit suicide. Lift the roof from every place where they are at eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, one o'clock, and let the facts be photographed. What would the showing be? 0 young men, keep your night life clean and correct, and you are safe! Young- men often say, " When vour Christian Associations and churches will furn ish us the attraction s and entrrtainment we c.ra .vc, in ou r socia l natures, on a high moral ~s~ociation to furnish them the means of enJoyrng themselves gratuitously, while these other places fit up and run their institutions by th e money which the young men spend among them. They pay out their money at th th t b·11· d h 11 I d e ea ers. 1 1ar a s, sa oons, an not in the Christim Assoc1'at1'ons. There are thousands of young men to-day who do not pay a dollar to !he associations or churches, an~ th ey arraign them for n~t cat_ering ~o their wants. _I want to let daylight mto this sham complaint. Come, now, youno- men and meet his thing in a common sens~ way'. When you pay into the churches and Christian Assocja~ions the money you spend in th eaters, billiard ?alls, beer gardens, and other places, we will agree to fit up elegant halls and . read·rng rooms, an d rooms for social chat; furnish all harmless games and amusements; secure lecturers and give you concerts, and keep ban?s ~f music to delight you, and regale you With mnocent beverages and refres?ments. . . Y outµ is the per10d of the pass10ns in the largest sense, not of t~e baser. only but 0f the nobler as well. It 1s the period when all t~e. emot~ons and_ enthusi_asms and aspirat10ns are m foll reign. It 1s a grand era of str?ng hop~s and grea_t possibi_lities. · Their quick'. active, bounding pass10ns are the prancrng steeds harnessed to the golden cha_rwt of manhood, chafing on the bit, ~~1patient to get away on the boulevards of l11e. Let reason mount the seat as charioteer, holding the_ reins of m_orality and religion, a1!tl the whip _o f cons_cience over the fi~ry clia_rgers_, curbmg _thei! excesses, steadyrng their flyrng feet, directi_ng their ~ourse _along the roads of honor, punty, and piety, till the chariot shall rein up before the throne of <J:od, and the crown of glory be placed on the victor's brow. some nights they were the only occupants, but by and by the curtain was opened and a blue-jacket said, "May I come in?" He was welcomed. Another came, and another, and the last account I heard from the ship was this, that every night thirty-two were meeting for pray th· t f th b 1· d er, If y o em e ieve to be converted characters. And there, by " stan d ing fire," by standing firm. true to what was his duty, God has blessed that solitary sailor, and made him a spiritual father to at least thirty of the men on board the ship. The Relationship Between the C:P,urch and the Assq_ciations. There is a class of persons who are evermore trying to defend the Association by undertaking to demonstrate that there is no war between the Association and the Church. These people do the ca.use great harm. The very fact that they keep talking thus causes people to think that possibly there is some ant~gon~srn. ".Every city and house divided against itself, can not stand." There is no difference save in this, that the churches are the Church of Christ, denominationally, and the Y. 1\/l. C. A. is the Church of Christ undenominationally. lt is true that some persons disbelieve in the Y. M. C. A .. and are, indeed, the enemies of the Association, and are members of the Church. But what of that?· There are persons in the Methodist Church who don 't like the Presbyterian Church, but does it follow that there is a warfare between these great organizations, and that Christ. is divided against himself! Let the person who is evermore defending the Association against imaginary enemi l:'s turn his attention to somethino- else Let the man who is the enemy of fhe A ssociation learn what it is; that it is a God-ordained and honored institution in His church; Tr.ue Moral Courage. that it will live after he is dead ; and, that there is greater need that he fights sin and Some time ago, in one of our great ships Satan.- Y.
