DR.. LafOn and the American Board.

1t is well known that since DR.. Lafon sought and
obtained dismission from the employment OF the
American Board and left the Sandwich Islands mis-
sion, no little effort has been made by the Board
and its friends to destroy the influence which ne might
exert in revealing and opposing the policy OF the BOARD
and its missionaries which connlves at anG even toer
ates and feowshps, the various forms OF oppression
that exist in the different ne tons where they have I'M
dertaken to propagate the gospel By the course Ia
ken, the impression has been extensively produced
that Dr. Lafon did not up to the time of his return to
this country, allege the connection of the Board with
slavery as for desiring to withdraw from Its
service. At missionary meeting, holden in this vii
lage during the last summer, which attended by
DIR. Anderson and others, in reply to the question if
DR.. Lafon did not leave the service of the Board on
account of its connection with slavery, Dr. Anderson
distinctly stated that far from this being the
of his withdrawal it was not even mentioned by him
prior to his dismisson; and the impression evidently
intended to be left upon the minds of the audience
was, that this objection did not exist in the mind Of
DR.. Laon, but had been brought up for the first time
since his return to this country, for the purpose of
jprejudcing the interests of the Board In order to
set this matter in its true light before all such feel
interested in the subject, and especially that justice
may be done to Dr. Laon, and the cause off pure and
just gospel we have procured for publication the
tire correspondence between Dr. Lafon and the Board
touching this subject, which will be found below
The impression given by DR.. Anderson will be seen
by the correspondence to be entirely erroneous
The lust letter of Dr. Lafon states that objection to
the board fully and also mentions the common stock
system of support neither of which had been mention
ed in the first letters That the Board had not recei
we'd his third letter. which gave that reason, before the
second letter of the secretary Of the Board containing
his dsmission had been sent is true and it is equal
y true that he had not received his dsmssion when he
gave the prosavery character of the Board for asking
it. These two last letters in the correspondence were
upon the way to their places of destination at the same
time, and both were duly received. That of DR.. La
fon was acknowledged by DR.. Armstrong, one of tht
Secretaries of the Board to have been received at
Missionary Convention held in Syracuse, ~ Y, the
account of which will be found in the N. Y. Evanges
of the 18th August 1914. It never has been said tina
the Boards connection with slavery mentioned be
fore they sent the dissson, but that this reason wa
sent before the dismssion was received by DR. Ilfon

DIR. LAFON TO DIR. ANDERSON.

SANDWICH ISLANDS, JAM, IS0J.
Dear Brother anderson You will have heard so
much upon the subject of the late laws of the Board
before this reaches you, to render it unnecessary
for me to speak Of them except in the most general
terms They are such as | cannot consistently obey,
and therefore ask dsmisson from the service of the
Board No other course is left to me, indeed, unless
disregard the laws, and still continue to accept the
Boards patronage, which am unwilling to do have
tried to seek direction of the Lord upon the subject
and submit you the best decision am able to make
after months of reflection. To go into particulars
would require much time, and would doubtless be a
repetition in substance, of much though probably not
all, of what you have already heard, from different
members of this mission.
have nearly completeda small dwelling with
part of the salary allowed for support this year
When it shall be done, shall be better prepared anC
shall expect to continue my missionary work with al
my strength. shall expect to settle with your agent.
here as soon as you notify them of the course yov
wish them to adopt If convenient, please send lis
of the books purchased in Boston on account of the
Board.
May the Lord direct us in the path Of duty.
Yours, in the Bonds of the Gospel,
THOMAS LAFON.
P.S.-The letters which wrote home upon the
subject of slavery, for publication, sent previous
to the arrival of the laws ofthe Board of course have
sent none since. My missionary work will continue
to be my employment, providing support for my fam
lily becoming part of it, whenever shall cease to re-

Important Scientific Discovery

\ Correspondent of the New York
Herald states that few days since a
number OF scientific men, and the May
pr Of Washington, accepted oian invita-
ton, extended by DE-. Page, to witness
his Improvement IN an application OF
electro magnetism TO boats now prOpell-
ed by steam. The model was one hors e
power, bat the principle can be extend
ed to thonsand with like happy re-
suit. The experiment was successful
beyond doubt. A few years onl y must
"lapse before, instead OF saying ''steam-
boat, we must repeat "electro boat"
or magnetic boat" Strange sounds,
but we will soon become acquain,ed d with
them. Who can calculate the advan-
tagcs Of this revolution WHO cannot
see at n glance, the comfort which viii

consequence, The safety Of life ; The

Not so had.

We were told a few days since says the
Baltimore Clipper, the following piece
Of "skInning," as it was called, and
which is rather too good to be lost =,
showing al the same time the desperate
straits a certain class Of gentlemen are
put to in making raise. a well known
case who was hard up for money,
meeting Il brother chip in the street, told
hrn hn would give him dollar if he
would walk across the street, go into
the front door OF the hotel opposite, and
IN walking in be very lame in his righi
leg, bot come out in few moments and
be lame in the ieH leg. Without ask ing
why or wherefore, the fellow dId as re-
qursled, aud the "sklnner" going up to
gentleman, remarked to him how lame
tha, man was in his ictl leg who was Jusr
going into the hotcI. The gentleman SAID
he was not lame in his left leg, which
The other Insisted was the ease. To set
le the matter, tac skinner" Immediate
" proposed bet of $40 that the man
was lame IN his left leg, which The gen
il-man willingly took up. The money was
posted 81 IN a few moments out came the
fellow so desperately lame in his ieH leg,
br could scarcely get down the steps OF
the hotel, and of course the money was
lost by the gentleman, who could scarcely
hrllcve his own eye-sight for although
the man came out lame in bis left, he
was perfectly certain he went 10 lame in
his right leg, bat AZ the same time new

Performance Of Duiy.-An Eve

| II bappened once that all the a7imals,
beasts, birds, fishes, and insects. assemb-
/ led to hear a sermon from ono OF their
number. | have not been informed who
was the orator. The subject of this dis
course was the duty Of the living to dc
good aud the audience seemed much
delighted with the number aud variety
Of the motives presented. AS they went
TO their respective homes, after the per-
iormance, they thus morallzed to them
selves:
\ Said the ant. "This sermon is very
good one for some folks, bu, it has no
sort ol application to me. What can
such poor ii,,lo e,nwling thing as am
do for the universe Besides | have
so large family OF my own to provide
for, that It requires all my time and at
icntion II ! had wings like the butter
fly | would not live 50 useless a life as
he does"
Said the butterfly, "I am really nsham-
ed OF the ani, who has such stores laid
up that she does no more good with them.
| am sare If | were half as rich ! would
supply all the poor in the neighborhood
But when can hardly get enough for
myself, how can help others -
The little fish complained that he had
neither time, nor talents, nor opportunity
OF doing good he was 50 insignificant
that he had no influence, and moreover
he had TO get food for himself, and TO
take care that he was not food for others
" he were only as large and strong as
the whale he might be useful.
The sheep declared that as he had no
horns To defend himself, it was absurd to
think of his doing anything for others,
he hoped his neighbor the goat would aP-
ply the sermon to himself.
| Thus, each excused himself and on
the whole, the sole result Of the discourse
so much applauded, was to convince
each that hlnself was so unfortunate, and
his neighbor without excuse.
/ Mari, liked the fable very much. She
wished her papa would ahrdys tell her n
story, when he wanted to teach her any
thing she should remember II much
better. But he told her il would not be
best that she should always have stories;
she must learn to attend to, and remem-
ber wha! he said to her, in whatever
form it was said.
"And now" said he, "what are you
going to remember as the result Of this
conversation -
Maria hestated a moment, and then
said that "Peop!e who do not 90 their
duty in the situation in which they are,
would not be likely 10 do it in another"

Among the many new scientific pro-
lects, and one that appears as rational as
"A majority Of those which are announced
by the press, is that Of magnetiscd floor,
projected by dancing master who has
experienced much difficulty in induc-
ing a tolerable degree of activity in some
IF his lndoent city classes. The floor
nf the hall is to be neatly overlaid with
square plates Of copper, not in contact
with each other, but insulated by narrow
strips Of ivory between the edges of the
plates Every alternate plate is con-
nected 10 one nf the poles of an electro
magnetic machine, and the other plates
are connected To the other pole ; all the
plates Of each set behind connected with
each other. The sples of the pumps or
or slippers, worn by the pupils, are to be
previously prepared by saturation with
some metallic solution The machine
which is to be concealed from view, is
80 nd Iu5ted that its connection with the
galvanic battery, may be effected by the
SIMPLE act of pulling n wire or touching
a key by the teacher. When the pu-
pills take their places on the floor for a
qnndrllle, The battery connection is made
at The same time that the music com
mences: the dancers will be sure to re-
ceive a succession of shocks which will
inin llably induce muscular activity with.
out any injurious effects.
