assumed by the capable and dominating
English-speaking race, who held in their
hands nine tenths of the commerce and
the productive enterprise of the country.
There was no alternative. The situation
was critical. The natural and qualified
rulers of the land were compelled to
seize entire hold of the reins of power,
which they had virtually controlled for
fifty years. To talk of this being the
"stealing of a kingdom," is childish, if
not malicions.
The rule by native monarchy had
lapsed from decay and incapacity. To
attempt to perpetuate it is no friendship
or kindness to the natives. The children
of the missionaries are their firm, true
and considerate friends, and will, as
they have always done, seek the best
and highest interests of the native
people. In the present perplexities and
difficulties in settling the future govern-
ment of the Islands, they will use what
ever influence they possess tosecure to
the Hawaiian people all the political
privileges that they are capable of use
fully exercising. If annexed as a Terri-
tory of the United States, it was believed
that an honorable share might be given
to them under Territorial control. If,
however, the Islands are to maintain
their own government under some form
of American protection, it is very uncer-
tain how far the exigencies demanding
strong government will leave the way
open for anything like popular suffrage.
Annexation was sought in hope of there-
by maintaining broader Republican
forms and more enlarged suffrage,
exactly the opposite of seeking to dimin-
ish the political franchises of the people.
Unless enjoying the grand prestige of
American constitutional control, the task
of adjusting a working form of govern-
ment for these different races will be a
delicate and difficult one. It is fortunate
for the nation that it contains such a
powerful nucleus of intelligence, capacity
and integrity in its English-speaking
body of citizens, and especially in its
missionary element.
It is maintained by the Royalists that
President Cleveland's new Minister,
Albert S. Willis, is about to arrive in
Honolulu for the purpose of enforcing
upon the Provisional Government Mr.
Cleveland's intention that they shall
make way for the restoration of the fallen
Queen. Various things are tending to
create also in the minds of others an
apprehension that Mr. Willis may be
commissioned, not to enforce but to
strongly urge such a policy upon the
Government. Mr. Theo. H. Davies,
who specially represents Canadian inter-
ests as well as Kaiulani, is expected to
come with Mr. Cleveland'srepresentative
and labor in the same direction. It is
seemingly incredible that a President of
the United States should thus lend him-
self to promote British commercial and
political interests against those of his
own country ; or that he should strive
to reestablish a throne that has fallen

It is reported that Kawaiahao Church
is making an effort to raise three hun-
dred dollars as a New Year's gift to the
treasury of the Hawaiian Board. We
are glad to chronicle this fact. It is
well for this mother church to set such
an example. The Hawaiians are a
generous people and in support of their
own people ought not to lag behind in
the generous rivalry with other nation-
alities in the support of their own reli-
gious and charitable institution. The
musical society connected with the
Kawaiahao Church, of which Mrs. Haa-
ISlea is President, have also raised, if we
have been correctly informed, three
hundred dollars towards the five hundred
needed to furnish electric lighting for the
church. The concert given Thursday
evening by the Misses Albu added quite
a sum to the remaining amount needed.

FROM MOKIL, PONAPE AND NGATIC.
Mr. Rand sends a brief report of the
work on these three islands, covering
the period from January to Jul y. (>l
Mokil he says:
"The work -in church and school has
been encouraging notwithstanding some
evil conduct on the part ol some of the
pupils in the school. Of the thirty-
seven church members who are in good
standing at the beginning of the year,
all have held fast except three. All the
meetings, both morning and evening,
Wednesday afternoon, and on the Sab-
bath, are well attended. The contribu
tions ate larger than last year. The
Sabbath school has increased in num-
bers and the attendance is much more
regular. Ninety six names ate enrolled,
with an average attendance of inoie
than eighty. We had fifteen weeks of
school, with an average attendance
above fifty; eleven of these students
were in the training class, two are pre-
paring for service as preachers or
teachers, and they will be ready at the
end of the year to go to sonic other isl
and if not needed at home. The health
of all on the island has been fairly
good."
Of Ponape Mr. Rand writes ;
"The Starlet go anchor in Port San
tiago before noon, Sabbath the seven
teenth of July. The new governor, who
came in May, was called back to Manila
by the June steamer, and he expects to
return in August. Captain Flanders,
who was governor pro tern, when I was
here last year, is holding the same
position in the governor's absence, The
Star was not allowed to go around to
Kiti to get the launch and other things.
Governor Flanders was very kind, but
said he could permit me to have inter-
course with the natives only in their
harbor. A great many natives came
aboard the Star. From Henry Nanpei
and others we hear that King Pol and
the other Christians of the Metalenim
tribe are holding on to their Christian
faith. The Ova, Japalap, and Tuman
churches are keeping up their meetings
and Sabbath schools and are beginning
their schools. King Pol is a wonder to
his people and the people of the whole
island. Since the trouble at Ova in IS'lu
he has developed into a strong Christian
leader. He is still on the defensive
against the Spaniards and refuses all
their terms of peace, feeling that his
own life and the lives of many ol his
people would be taken because of tht:
Spaniards killed. He is very zealous in
rooting out all the evil in his tribe, and
has succeeded in keeping out the liquor
that is destroying the other tribes. Hi:
is also able to keep his people from
marrying in the heathen fashion. All
guilty of this are sent out of the tribe.
"Henry Nanpei, since his return in.
IS9I, has been having a strong influ-
ence for good over the Kiti tribe. He

Mr. Rand report! that the Star spent
two days at Ngatic, where tin- church
seemed to be somewhat lukewarm, but

The Star arrived at Kuk on July 25,
and returned Miss Kinney to her asso-
ciates Mi. and Mrs. Snclling were in
somewhat better health. The schooner

from Japan, but was expected very soon.
Nothing is said in the brief letters re

made to a wave of heathenism which
has swtpt over the island, affecting the
Girls' School as it did other branches
ol work. Ol her return to Kuk and of
the islands at which the Star touched
on the way, Miss Kinney writes from
Kuk July 37:
"We reached here on the 25th, after
a very pleasant trip. I can assure you
that it is pleasant'to be at home again,
for this seems like home now, and a
very warm welcome was given by both
my associate workers and the scholars.
Man\'of the people, too, gathered on
the wharf to give me tbeii greeting.
"We stopped at Butaritari first, and
1 went on shore to attend the afternoon
meeting. I was greatly pleased with
tht appearance ol the people, and the
king gave a very good talk, which Mr.
Walkup translated for us. Mi. Walkup
seemed very happy in his Work, and he
certainly is a Chi istian hero to be willing
to live so lonely a life tot the sake of
the work. I enjoyed the visit at Kusaie
with the workers there very much in-

closing exercises for the term while we
were there, and It was very interesting,
We stopped two days at Mokil, and
again 1 went on shore for one night
and enjoyed my visit with Mrs. Rand
and Miss Loss. Tiny all seemed well
and very happy. When we anchored
at Ngatic the captain took Mrs. Gar-
land and myself on shore to see the
church, which is the best I have seen
in Micronesia, and also the houses are
better built than any other native houses

that I have seen. There are some very
nice girls there, and I coveted two or
three for our school, but thought it not
best to take any yet until the work here
is in a more settled state. There are
plenty of girls to fill our school on this
island, but since the fighting the inter-
est in the school has not been very
good, and we have not as many girls as
there were last month; but they all
stem very happy who are still with us.

desire, to submit a communication from
his government to the President and
Ministers of this country and is granted
an audience at 1:30 i>. M., at which they

to arbitrate in behalf of Liliuokalani,
upon the facts embodied in Blount's
reports, concluded that she was wrong-

States forces and therefore it is expected
that the Provisional Government will
promptly relinquish to her her constitu-
tional authority, the Queen on her part
having consented to grant amnesty to all
who took part in the movement against
her and to fulfill all obligations of the Pro-

Christmas Gifts, and Christmas Merry
Making.
At this season of the year, kindly in
terest in others has its appropriate mani-
festation in special gifts of friendship or
sympathy. Notwithstanding all the
disquiet of the time politically, and the
dubious financial outlook, it has been
pleasant to notice the carriages speed-
ing, in one direction and another, bear-
ing the parcels that testify of the good
will of the donors blossoming out into
kindly deeds. Hut how many of such
manifestations of Charity, sweet and
beautiful, never come to any public
knowledge. Nature is lavish in these
tropical climes, if not prodigal, in her
gifts, and the liberality of the people is
in keeping with their surroundings.
First in time, as well as in magnitude,
of the various Christmas entertainments
was that of the Sunday School of the
Central Union Church. So many
hundreds of children with their parents
or friends gathered on the Friday even-
ing before Christmas, that it seems as
if the new church was ahead}- showing
that it cannot accommodate all who
would make it their Church home.
The exercises were briefer than former-
ly. Sunday morning was given up to
more elaborate services, recitations and
singing, and a very interesting Sunday
School Concert exercise.
Sunday evening there was a Praise
Service, with some fine singing from
members of the choir and others. Dr.
Beckwith's sermon, on the honor con-
ferred on Childhood by the incarnation
of the Lord Jesus, was a very striking
presentation of exreedingly appropriate
truths. Whoever may succeed Dr.
Beckwith in the pulpit of the Central
Union Church will find it no easy mat-
ter to bring to the people, Sunday after
Sunday, such clear, pertinent, inspiring
messages as have been given so con-
tinuously during the six years of Dr.
Beckwith's ministry.
!
Saturday evening a large concourse
spectators more than filled the
hinese Church to witness the exercises
the Chinese Schools. We have be-

rtainments of previous years. Every

better rendering of the parts assigned
to the classes, whether recitations in
English and Chinese, or chorus singing.
The children of the Kindergarten at-
tracted the most attention and the loud-
est applause. The annex with its fine
organ well played by a young China-
man, was seen to fine advantage this
year, as compared with its unfinished
condition a twelvemonth ago. If en-
thusiasm and effort can accomplish
what even Christian faith hardly dares
hope to see accomplished, we are sure
that Mr. Damon will attempt it.
The Portuguese Mission had its
Christmas entertainment the same even
ing. The present accommodations in
the Chapel are insufficient for the ac-
commodation of the large congrega-
tion that now gathers within its walls.
Friends of this Mission have begun
noon too soon the effort to add, to the
promises now occupied, a parsonage for
Mr. Soares' family. Then the building
they now occupy may be utilized for
the school that now meets in the rear
room of the Chapel. The greatest in
terest was shown in the performances of
the small children of the Kindergarten.
There are now so many of these tree
Kindergartens for the various national-
ities, that a public exhibition of all of
them in the Music Hall would surely
awaken increased general interest in
this work, and bring in additional funds
for its successful prosecution.
Monday evening, Christmas night,
the Japanese Church, of which Rev.
Jiro Okabe is tht pastor, gave an enter-
tainment in Cjueen Kmma Hall. The
room was altogether too small for the
crowd that assembled. Here as at the
Portuguese Chapel and the Chinese
Church, a Christmas tree with its
brightly burning candles, and brilliant
ornaments of tinsel stood ready to yield
an abundant supply of gifts for the little
folks. For the Japanese Kindergarten,
youngest of all, showed what proficiency
a few months of training under
Froebel's system can do the tiniest
specimens of infant humanity. There
was not, however, anything for the
older children, or from them. We may
expect by another year something
praise-worthy from the young men con-
nected with the Sunday School, or the
classes now increasing so rapidly in the
night schools held in Queen Emma
Hall.
The American Board has recently
published a new edition of President
Bartlett's Historical sketch of the Sand-
wich Islands Mission, to which Dr. Hyde
has added a supplement, giving an out-
line history of the progress of Chrsitian
work at the Islands for the last thirty
years, 1863 1893. The record is a most
creditable one, considering the many
claims upon the time, sympathy, and
purses of our Christian people. The
wonder is that so much has been attempt-
7
Ed and achieved. To find fault with the
workers here for what they have not done
is to ignore the facts of history, as the
progress of events at the islands has
closed up certain lines of effort and
opened up others, has revealed more
clearly weaknesses of humanity that are
not to be removed in the time of one or
two generations, and developed new
difficulties and obstacles to be met and
overcome by christian patience, faithful-
ness, and hopefulness.
The A. H. C. P. If. Almanac for 1K94
has a "process" picture of VV'ailuku,
Maui, and ola street in Apaian, one of
the Gilbert Island group. The last is
reproduced from a photograph taken by
the engineer of the Morning Star on the
last voyage of that vessel. Others ol
these Micrnnesian photographs will soon
be reproduced in other publications of
the American Hoard. They are the best
ever published, illustrating scenes and
incidents in connection with the Micro-
nesian Mission.
Latest From Ponape.
From Ponape under date of Oct. lf>,
we learn that all is peace and quietness
under the new governor. He is doing
all he can to firing about a peaceful set-
tlement with a Metalenini tribe. They
are pursuing the even tenor of their
way with no more interference from the
Spanards. A new church building was
dedicated in September. About 300
people assembled to participate in the
exercises. There are two day schools
maintained by the people as well as the
Sunday School and regular Sabbath
services. Put they are in great need of
books, slates, and other school appli-
ances. A new church building and a
school house are soon to be put up on
the island of Mantes. It would seem
as if, under the present Governor at
least, it would be possible to resume
the work of the American Mission.
He does not seem to have any special
antipathy with what is useful, practic-
able, beneficial. He may be called a
strict prohibitionist, and is ready as
soon as the opportune moment comes,
to forbid all importation and sale of al-
coholic beverages. With such en-
couraging news as this, God's people
ought to be encouraged to persistant
prayer and renewed effort for the up
building on Ponape of God's kingdom
of truth and righteousness and love.
While on this theme, that Christmas
tide makes so fruitful of suggestions, has
any one given any attention to the solu-
tion of the problems that will soon be
thrust upon us, what to do for the
unemployed ? What to do with the poor
and thriftless ? We have no pauper
laws. Pruperism, as it exists now in
Christendom, is unknown here. Private
charity has hitherto managed to care for

the unfortunates who have been com-
pelled by stress of circumstance to de-
pend upon others' help. But it is very
evident that in the near future some
public provision will have to be made
for the dependent and defective classes.
The sick have the hospitals; the insane
have the lunatic asylum; the aged mdi
gent Hawaiian has the Lunalilo Home.
But what is being done in the way of
public provision, or organized effort for
those who have been laggards in the
race of life, and without positive crimi-
nality, by extravagance it may be, or by
poor judgment it may be, or by culpable
indolence it may be, are at the end of
the rope, liable to be snapped off and
trodden down by force of circumstances
and their own inertia ? The Strangers'
Friend Society has done and is doing a
noble work, for which it deserves a meed
of praise as yet unspoken. Benevolent

are doing something to relieve the wants
of their respective countrymen.
above and beyond all these should be
But
some public organized charity associa-
tion better than direct governmental
relief, that shall minister comfort, cheer,
and help to the poor that we have always
with us, whose poverty is likely to be
more pinching than ever, even to the
loss of life as well as health, of manhood
as well as possessions.
The many appeals of late, to one
benevolent person and another, to take
charge of orphan children, left without
suitable guardianship, indicate a line ol
charitable effort that will undoubtedly in
the Providence of God, find some one pre-
pared to lay the foundations of an Orphan
Asylum, and provide for its maintenance.
Whenever there is a need, there is a
supply provided. The difficult thing to
do is to brint; together the two elements
in the wonderful synthesis that christian
charity is constantly effecting, more
wonderful even than the inventions and
discoveries of modern science in utilizing
the forces of nature, lying all around us,
ready for the touch of the modern magi-
cian's wand.
Another provision for public needs to
which Dr. Beckwith alluded in his
Christmas sermon, is a play ground for
the children. The large yard around
Queen Emma Hall has been used by the
children, but it is not large enough for
the numbers that would gladly come to
a pleasant recreation ground. Who will
see to it that our children, who here need
no "Fresh Air Eund" for their comfort,
may soon have a place for their plays
and frolics, well equipped with the need-
ful accessories, and under kindly and
tactful supervision?
