Friend, 1876-07

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.

An Engbshman, calling to mind the fact that the two British soldiers were burifd there, resorted to the spot with his flowers to decorate their graves, but to his surprise he found that some unknown American had risen earlier, and had already visited the spot with his floral tribute to the memory of those British soldiers ! This is as it should be, and beautifully harmonizes with · in~idents of a similar nature, whfrein Federal soldiers decorate graves of Confederates, and so the reserve.

Not far from these monuments is the "Old Manse" described by Hawthorne, In the immediate vicinity is standing a house still retain1ng a pµ llet-hole, pierced by the ball of a British soldier more than a hundred years ago.

Among the pleasant incidents of my visit to Concord, is one of a personal nature. There, it was my privileg-e to be the guest of a family bearing my name. (We descended from the same original old Puritan ancestor, IJeacon Zohn JJamon of Reading, Mass., who came from Rea<ling, England. He was one of the original settlers of Reading, as early as 1645.) Having subsequently visited Reading, it has been my privilege to stand upon the very spot where Deacon John Damon built his first house in America, two hundred and thirty years ago. There is the old cellar identifying the spot, and in the center of it is now growing a hickory walnut tree of stately dimensions. Pilgrims to America from the Sandwich Islands may find some monuments and places as worthy of their' notice, as those places and shrines which render the old world and oriental lands so justly celebrated. great wheel. If they do not revolve, they shine and adorn the Athens of America like a necklace of pearls. Other cities in America may be as beautiful ,and more populous than Boston, but 1 cannot name the one that possesses so many of the elements going to make a high state of civilization. I do not wonder the inhabitants are proud of theircity and its surroundings, with its vast number of churches, schools, colleges, public edifices, private residences, parks, and · "Common." Last week was one of much interest to the Christian community of Boston. It was Anniversary Week. The old style (popular thirty years ago) of conducting the anniversaries of our benevolent societies has passed away, but the societies live, and their existence is publicly recognized. On Thursday in Tremont Temple, were held the anniversaries of six congregational societies, viz : 1. American Collrge and Edncati@n Society. 2. Congregationu.l Pnblisbing Society. 3. American Missionary Society. 4. American Home Missionary Society. 5. American Congregational Union. 6. American Board of Foreign Missions. Three of these were held in the forenoon and three in the afternoon. Ordinarily the treasurer of each society will present a brief statement of the financial condition of the society, which will be followed by a speech from some eloquent platform speaker. I was much interested in the address of the rising and famous orator a·nd preacher, Rev. Joseph Cook, before the "Congregational Publication Society," and in that of the Rev. Dr. Behrends, pastor of a congregational church in Providence. Dr. Behrends is now quite prominently before the Christian public, from the fact that he has recently left the Bapti5t denomination and joined the Conco1'.d is not only eelebrated for its RevCongregationalists.

The Madeleine in Paris is fine, a copy of an old Grecian templi, with long fluted Corinthian columns, which extend entirely round the great square building, niches in the wall filled with life size statues of saints of the church, broad steps the width of the building, steps at both ends and an .iron fence tipped with gold enclosing the whole sttucture. Enter, and splendid great Corinthian columns support arches, between which are eleven or twelve iron columns of smaller size, in the center of these are large niches, which form the center of the many chapels, for in the niches stands the worshipped saint. Here always are candles burning and censers suspended by golden chains. and in these are lights burning for departed spirits; these with beautiful artificial flowers make most lovely and poetical shrines. (I can't say holy!) The walls of the church are covered with choice marble and the floor i5 of mosaic marble work; fourteen chandeliers I counted in the nave. The ceiling is pamted with scripture scenes. The altar is marble, richly sculptured, above it the St. Mary Magdalene floating to heaven on the wings of angels which support her, all finely cut pieces of statuary. Two angels are on either side of the altar and back of the altar a colonnade of iron columns (semi-circular) and through them beautiful pictures on a ground of gold can be seen. Above the altar on the wall is a large oil painting, the history of Christianity. The great bronze doors of the church are covered with bas reliefs, taken from the commandments and pictured. They are larger than the doors of the Pantheon at Rome,-just think, this church dates from the thirteenth century ! The Louvre is not equal to the Dresden Gallery. There are more pictures and some wonderfully beautiful Muri11os, Leonardo da Vincis and choice . pa in tings of the earliest sc hoo 1 ; but not h mg there as heavenly as the I 53 I b 7 6. Holy Night of Corregio or Sistine Madonna of Raphael. I was interested in the school of drawing where I saw the pencilings of Michael Angelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Guido Reni, Albrect Dlirer and of all the best artists of the golden age of art . After a while I will write more of the. museum of the Louvre, of its ivory and porcelain departments, antiques from Assyria, Egypt, antique bronzes, and splendid statua~ ry. Taking the picture gallery and musenm there is study enough for months in the Louvre. This morning (April 7th,) l have been for a little excursion. At half-past ten we jumped into the omnibus by the Madeleine, rode for half an hour, past great handsome stone gateways, for Paris is rich on every side in elegant houses, fountains and grand gateways, until we reached the Bastille. Here in times of civil war streams of blood have been shed, and here the old prison stood so much sptken of in French history. In the center is a column 154 feet high, the base being of white marble, at four corners the Gallic cock each holdmg in.his claws an oak wreath. On top of the whole stands the angel or genius of Liberty, holding in one hand a torch, in the other a broken chnin. On this iron column are written the names of the poor men who died during the dreadful three days of July. Under this magnificent column are buried in vaults the five hundred men whose names are written above. Imagine the great black metallic column with the golden figure, standing with wings out-spread ,..., one foot in air, the other resting on a golden ball, just ready to spring into the air, with arms holding up in triumph a torch of fire and broken chains of bondage. Picture it as 1 saw it this morning in the bright sunlight-the scene was grand ! ! A. A. :Ul<.:MORANV.<l..

If the boy do not learn, Education in China. This will form the main subject of my address. I mig ht almost be , 1 s'uppose, the grandfather of the oldest of you, and yet I feel a measure of respect and awe in standing · before you. A good many of you will remember what we are told about John Frebonius, one of the ~asters of the school which the boy Luther attended at Eisenach. He always raised his cap to his pupils, when he entered the schoolroom; and when asked why he did so, he replied:-" There are among these boys men of whom God will one day make burgom~sters, chancellors, doctors, and magistrates. Although you do not yet see thPm with the badges of their dignity, it is right that you should treat them with respect." This was well spoken Frebonius, and, more than thirty years ago, I was delighted to find the same sentim_e nt recorded of Confucius, the sage of China. " A youth," said he on one occasion, " is to be regarded with respect. How do we know that his future will not bE> equal to our present?" He then added, in words on which [ may have something to say, ere I have done-" If he reach the age of forty or fifty, and bas not made himself heard of, he will not be worth being regarded with respect." Well, you know that education is very much prized in China. ,I t is much mare prized in some of the ,provinces of that vast country than in others; but l do not think I exaggerate in saying that to-day there are more boys and students in schools and under masters in China than there of men, women, and chil,dren all together in Great Britain. I hold here in my hand a Chine~e Primer, one of the first lesson books which boys have to learn when they go to school. Its author, a lVlr. Wang Pih-haon, <lied in the year 1296, so that it must have been written fully 600 years ago . He prepared it for_ family use; but it has long been taught all ,over the empire. There must be upwards ,of a hundred millions o·f Chinese now living who could repeat it all over from beginning .to end. You see it is printed in large characters , the better to impress the form of ,each on the eye and mind, and it is in a --=======-===-==========-=--- -- - - compilations on the ancient rites, ceremonies, arts, and music of China. The fifth is the computation of ancient poems or odes, said to have been made by Confucius, and many of the pieces of which ar~ really ver_y interesting. The sixth js the history of his native state of Ivo, for 242 years, drawn up in short sentences by Confucius. It would hardly be worth reading, but for three commentaries and enlarn:ements of it, made not long after the time ·of the siege, and witl1 which the Primer says the student must also make himsPlf familiar. One ofSthem is as full of graphic details as cott's "Tales of a Grandfather."

This is the case with the Seimnary at LahainAluna, Maui, as well as the Boarding Sd10ol for boys at Hilo, Hawaii. The Hilo Boarding School has been blest with a religiom, awakening during the past year, which has resulted in some ten of t.be· pupils having been admitted to church mem ... bership. THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. 'the teachers of this institution !lave- been the same as in the previous year, viz: Rev. B. W. Parker, Chairman of the Faculty; Rev. D. Baldwin, M. D., and Rev. H. H. Parker, Teachers. These Teachers have performed faithfully the duties assigned them. A new term of instruction in the Seminary commenced on the 1st of October, 1875. During the meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in June, 1875, an examination of the pupi)1-, of the Seminary wai; he]d in the presence of a commi ttce ap~ 60 THE lfRIEND, JULY, 1876.

These schools are represented as in a healthy condition. It has been a year of physical health in all of them, except the Kawaiahao Seminary. A slow fever prevailed in that seminary during the months of July and August, 1875. One of the pupils died in the seminary, and another last January, not then however connected with the seminary. Some changes have taken plac€l in the department of instructors in all these schools. Miss L. F. Ingraham of the Kawaiahao Seminary retired froro the school during the year ; is now engaged in teaching at Hilo, Hawaii. Miss C. L. Mosely has left the seminary and returned to the United States. Miss Ellen Rowell now occupies the place of Miss Ingraham as teacher. In the W aialua Seminary Miss J. K. Pogue has left the sct1ool to accompany her mother to the United States. In the Makawao Seminary Miss M. S. Parker has vacated he'r place, and Miss S. Emerson has been connected with the school part of the year as teacher. Miss Thompson has been added to the teachers of the Kohala School. The principal of the Kawaiahao Seminary, Miss E. K. Bingham, says in her report: "One new feature of this school durmg the year past has been its infantile department, having nearly a dozen under ten years of age, the youngest of whom was two and a half years old when entered." The A. B . C. F. M. placed at the dispoisal of the Hawaiian Board $600, to aid female education on these islands. This sum has been equally distributed to these four schools, each having received $150. The family school of Mrs. Lyons and daughter of W a1mea, has been coutinued as in former years . Those engaged in these schools need and should have our sympathy, prayers and contributions. The seed sown in these young hearts will spring up and bear fruit after many-days.

The committee, of whom Rev. W. P. Alexander was Chairman-he not being present, Rev. 'T. Coan acted as Chairman-reports thus: "From the appearance of the 8cholars in the examination, we are satisfied that the teachers have been very diligent, and used great care in imparting to their pupils a knowledge of the great truths of the Bible, and the fundamental doctrines of the Christian religion. :;:, * * We were indeed highly pleased with their whole work, so far as shown in the examination.'' The committee also say, '' Let us be grateful to 'the Lord of the harvest' for the establishment of this Theological Seminary, and for His care over it." Can we not all unite in this expression of gratitude ·to God for His goodness to this School of the Prophets? After the examination four of the pupils, who had spent three years each in the Seminary. were graduated. These, with the exception of one, have been usefully emp1oyed as preachers of the gospel on the islands of Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai. Three of them have been lici=:nsed to preac~-one of whom has been ordained and installed pastor over a churc~ in Puna, Hawaii. Another of them has accepted a call to a church on Maui, and a committee appointed by the Presbytery of .Maui to ordain and install him pastor over that church. Six pupils will soon leave the Institution, leaving only two of. the old pupils. Several application s by candidates for the ministry have been made to enter the Institution at the commencement of next year. During the first weeks of this year the ;pupils of this Seminary did a good work in laboring directly for the salvation of souk In -this work they have gained what will be very useful to them when laboring as pastors -of Churches. Rev. H. H. Parker, Pastor of the Kawaiahao Church, has done a . good work iu employing some of the pupils of .this Seminary iu supplying his pulpit on Sabbath evening-s. Several of .t he _p upils of the Seminary ·have had their attent ion directed to Foreign Fields, and would like to be employed as Foreign Missionaries, but suitable female companions could not .be had to go with them. This is, and has been, an occasion of s orrow to those who love Zion. The Pru.dential Committee of the A. B. C. F. M.. has invited Rev. A. 0 Forbes ,to take charge ,of this Semrnary. The action •of the ~aid committee was endorsed by th\e Hawaiian Board at a special meeting, held May 18th., 1876. 'fhe invitation is now ju the hands of Rev. Mr. Forbes. We have not yet heard officially of his acceptance of the ..sirnation. aid of this work $100, as it did in the year 1875-76. PUBLICATIONS. 1962 hymn books of the second edition of the Himeni Hoolea, edited and compiled by Rev. L. Lyons. have been received from the American Tract Society of New York. This book is popular and in constant demand. · 500 copies of the Bible Stories, Vol. l, by Mrs. H. Bingham, in the Gilbert Island dialect, have also been received from the same Society. 175 of these have been sent to Samoa for the use of the Samoan teachers on the Southern. Island~ of the Gilbert Island group. 'l'be remarnder will be forwarded to the Gilbert Islands by the .Morning Star. 'l'be bill for printing and brnding tbese, amounting to $88.16, was donated to the Hawaiian Board for that mission. Our old debt to this Society has been paid . We now owe that Society for the books of the new edition of the hymns. 1000 copies of Genesis, and the same number of Exodus in the Bonabe dialect, were printed in New York, and donated by the Arnorican Bible Society to the Hawaiian Board for the mission at Bonabe ReT. E.T. Doane superintended these through the press in New York. This may be his last direct work for a peorile among whom he has lived and for whose good he bas labored for many years. He is now a rnitisionary of tbe A. B. C. F . .M . in Japan. • The Ameriean Bible Society bas refunded to the Hawaiian Board $1606.45 with premium of $241.55, equal to $ 1848.00, for printing portions of the New Testament in the Marshall Islands dialect. It is propnsed to ask this Society to electrotype the revised New Testament in the Gilbert Island dialect! now almost ready for the press. 'l'bis book 1s very much _needed. To accomplish the work, and to superintend the printing of the second yolume ?f the Bible Stories translated by Mrs. ~mghum rn tl~e Gilbert Island dialect, Rev . H. Bmgham and wife have the advice of the Hawaiian Board to go to New York. It is hoped that Mr. Bingham 's health will soon permit him to undertake the work. The Hawaiian Board _h as had printed in Honolulu the following books for the missions in Micronesia, viz.: 1500 copies of Bible Stories in the Marshall Island dialect ; 1000 coptis of a book in the ~trong's l~land dialect; 1000 copies of a spellmg book rn the Mortlock dialect ·-this is the finit book printed in that langu~ge; the book was transl~ed by Obetimia, wife of Obedia missionanes from Bona be to the Mortlock Islands'. That she is able to prepare such a work for the press in the Hhort time·that she has been on those islands, is a~ evidence of her efficiency in the · work to which she has been designated. Also 2000 copies of tlie Gilbert Island spelling book a repr1ot with additions; 1000 of these will b; sent to the Gilbert Islands by the Morning Star this year.

The Lahui Hawaii was commenced Jan. 1, 1875, in accordance with action taken by this Association in June, 1874. The paper continues to the present ; is a power to be used for good or evil to the nation, which cannot be estimated. We have no other one means for exerting an influence over the people like this. The paper, although very plain in speaking and discussing the questions of the day which come up for notice, is popular-very popular. ln 1875 an edition of 2000 was printed, and about 1500 circulated. This year the edition baB been increased and the paper enlarged. l'he weekly edition printed is now 2500, 2000 and over of which are circulated. The paper is read by from 5 to 8000 persons. ,vho can estimate the mfluence exerted over say 6000 by the truths 1·ead in the Lahui Hawaii every week? Could we know that each weekly issue of the paper, as it is scattered all over these islands and into California, was carried before a throne of grace, .tl1e .heart of the editor and those engaged m ge~ung it out would be greatly cheered. In God 1s our trust; on Him alone we lean for wisdom, guidance, and direction in regard to matter for and the manner of circulating the paper among Lhose for whose good it was established. When the paper cea1,es to be a power on the side of right and truth, let it die and be buried where it never wiJl again arise. In June, 1874, tbe Association approved of the Hawaiian Board·s appropriating $800 for a paper. The Hawaiian Board so voted. $600 of this sum has been drawn, leaving $200 in the treasury of the Hawaiian Board to the credit of the paper; thus will not be drawn till needed. Thus the paper has actually been a saving of some hundred of dollars to the Hawaiian Board. I!'

Mrs. Kanoa, for many years a valuable he! per in this mission, bas been removed by the Alaster to other employments in a higher sphere. Mr. Kanoa, with his ruotherless sous, came to these islands on the Morning Star. He will probably return to his field of labor on the Star in July. Mr. Leleo and wife will probably return frum Apaiang to Honolulu on the return of the Star to these islands. This is rendered necessary un account of the health of Mrs. Leleo. M.r.

REPORT OF THE EXAMINING COMMITTEE ON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OF THE EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. '.J;his school, under the direction of three teachers, was examined at Honolulu June 7, 1876. Eight students only were in class, and were examined in the following courses: (1) Exegesis; (2) Bible History; ( 3) Theology; ( 4) Ecclesiastical History. 1.-The class was examined by Rev. B. W. Parker in Exegesis a.nd Theology. and by Rev. D. Baldwin in Biblical and Ecclesiastical Histories. In Exegesis the students were questioned fully on the first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, and also on other parts of the Seriptures. The result showing that their reasoning powers bad been awakened, and that they had obtained the illumination and faith which is to establish them in the profession they have chosen. The disciples of Jesus prayed Him to increase their faith. It is fit therefore that this point should receive the highest attention. 2.-Church discipline is likewise an important matter; but perhaps this is related to pastoral theol ogy. Vour committee 1s sorry to say that this department was not examined. through failure of time. Church Jiacipline is a part -0f the pastor's duties; and if he be a novice in this, he will fail to care properly for his flock. Readiness for the work is to J,e obtained throug!t attendance upon church mel'lt- purity of heart are put in the front rank. A minister will be lacking in bis profession should be not receive book learning; but the disadvantage will be greater still if he fails in obtaining the endowments above specified. It is in consequence of not receiving these spiritual gifts that some of the pastors have fallen from their profession. They have been taught in the schools, and have received a liberal education; but they biive been wanting in true faith as well as in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. If we wish a body of ministers who shall be steadfast in their profession, then let us foilow the instructions which Paul has laid down for our guidance. 4.-On Biblical and Ecclesiastical Histories, the majority of the students showed commendable diligence in study. Six of the students graduate this year. The rhetorical exercises were held in the Kawaiahao Church on Thursday evening, June 9, 187G. 'rhe assembly were favorably impressed with their • discourses. Blessed will it be should these graduates bold out to the end. Well will it be also for Christians to pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to incline the hearts of men to become laborers in His vineyard, for the "field is large but the laborers are few." The Committee here present their acknowledgments of the painstaking and patient labors of the teachers in the work entrusted to them. Respectfully submitted, J. F. POGUE, A. p ALI, J. 63 7 G·. ings of this kind. Thus much it resembles the medical profession. It is through dissectiug dead bodies and by attendance upon the sick, that the physician acquil'es proficiency in his profession. Theory is one thiog, and practice another. It is only right that both should go together and be so taught. · 8.-In regard to the ministry Paul says: A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospital3,251 24 ity, apt to teach: not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy luc1·e; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; one that ruleth well his own house, having bis childreu in subjection with all gravity. For if a. man know not bow to rule his own house, 38 76 bow shall he take care of the church of God? 1 Tim., FOR MEDICAL FUND, MicRONESIA.

BICKNELL, Committee. .ANNUAL REPOR'l' OF THE HAWAIIAN EvANQKf,ICA~ AssocIATION, JUNE, 1876. .Association convened in Honolulu for business June 6, 1876. l\,fembers present 67, three of whom were missionarie!! lately returned from Micronesia . 1. Statistics of Churches. One church was organized during the year, which is at Haiku, Maui; and it is pleasing to record that both foreigners and natives are contributing towards its support. It is well that they should unite in every ~ood work. A new feature of the work bas been the union, in some places, of two churches under one pastor. This has come about through lack of preachers. One pastor has been dismissed from bis charge in consequence of the misconduct of bis wife. Two have left tbei'r stations and gone into the Legislature. This passing away of pastors into other work is a thing greatly to be deplored. Reports from the various island associations show that each association has held two meetings for business during the year. 2. 1.'he State of the Churches. In some of the churches the hand of God has been visible in their revival for a time. It cannot be said however that this has been a year of successful work. Sin abo~nds; drunkenness and licentiousness are the prevailing evils, not what it is desired by the pastors, but this state of things is prevalent because of the lack of power from on high. The pastors are watching and praying, and at the same time iniquity increases. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the churches is what is needed to put down sin. Thrice blessed will it be, should the "power from on high·" be suddenly manifested. Through manifold temptations men are drawn into infidelity and skepticism, all desire for God being crushed out. Pleasures and the unfruitful works of d!lrkness are the things sought after. When, 0 Lord, shall thy salvation appear ! 289 members were admitted to the churches during the year on profession of faith. The number of deaths is 826; 99 were suspended, and 60 restored. As with the race so with the churob,-its members are on the decrease. By whom sha.ll she ari se? 3 Contr·ibutions to th~ Hawaiin.n Board. The Boa.rd received for foreign missions $8,299.29, being $1,215.91 less than were received last year. $1,088.83 were contributed for home missions. The total amount of contributions as reported by the 'l'reasurer of the Hawaiian Board, is $21,913.96. ,J:. Theological Institute. Connected with this Association is a theological seminary, which for the time being is conducted by the following teachers, viz: Revs. B. W. Parker (acting principal), D. Baldwin, and H. H. Parker. Im1truotion is ~iven in all departments of the ministerial work. There were eight students in class, and they were examined at Honolulu June 7, .1876. The examination w11.s ably conducted. On the evening of June 9, 18i6, the usual rhetorical exercises were held, the discourses of the graduates receiving the appreciative responses of the audience. Six have graduated, thus leaving two for class of next year. Of the araduu.tes one has received a call to enu,n· the pastoral work; the rest are awaiting the action of the churches. Eight young men have apiplied for admission next year. In his report read before the Association, the acting principal says: " The same branches of study were taught this year as in the last; and we entertain the hope that both in intelligence and ability for work, the students have made progress. On the first week in January school was suspended, it being week of prayer of the Evangelical churches The students circulated among the various houses in Honolulu, held meetings and instructed the people in the things pertaining to the soul; and it is thought that their efforts were blessed by the Spirit of God. Their own hearts also were warmed and quickened. Up to the present time, the good effects of those labors have not ceased to be felt. A portion of the community in Honolulu were blessecf by the ministrations in connection with the first week of January, 1876. The souls of those who took part in the proceedings on this first week in January have been thrice blessed." 5. Boarding Schools. Lahainalurni. bolds on its way, and so does the school at Hilo. The number of pupils however in either of these schools is not larJ?e. The girls' schools are pt'ospering; there are four in operation. The cry of distress has not been beard from any of them, and it is thought tbs.t in things temporal the blessing of God bas rested upon them. . The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is what is now needed. There are 42 boarders in the Ka.waiahao Seminary. This school was examined in the Kawaiahao Church • Honolulu, June 18, 1876. The King attended the examination. 32 is the total number of boarders in the seminary at Kabala Akau, Hawaii. ~o reports having come before the Association from the Waialua and Makawao seminaries, statistics the·refore of those sohools cannot be given. 6. Church Discipline. This is one of the topfos discussed by the Association, and it is cheering to be able to state that the minds of the native pastors are being awakened to the duty. 7. Sabbath Sch'lols. The status of the Sabbath school is like that of the church. Both bodies need the quickening influences of the Holy Spirit. The Sabbath School Association met conjointly for business with the Evangelical Association. No committee wns appointed to attend the examination of the government day schools in th is city; report states however that they are in a prosperous state. 8. Constituents and make up of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. Affiliated in this Association are the missionary fathers from America, the foreign clergymen on these Hawaiian Islands of our denomination, and the native ministers. The hope is entertained that all who are here banded together will love one another, continuing in the work until the end. Since the Scripture declares that there is but one Lord and Father over all, so may His servants ever have but the one heart of love. The business of the Association was wdl conducted. To outward appearance each member of the Association sought the good of all-a state of feeling which the Lord so greatly desires. "Behold how good and bow pleasant it is for brethren to d.well together in unity ! " Blessed be God for His guardian influence over the churches up to the present time; and the prayer is offered that His loving kindness may continue until righteouiness shall be triumphant over all the land.
