Chasten, Chastise, &c.

The writer, who gives his " Thoughts on Educa-
ton" In the ADVERTISERS, should be clearer in his
statements, or somewhat less confident. Was it a
thoughtIess error " OF Webster to make cbasten
and chastise Synonymous? "To chastise," he
saws. means 10 make chaSte to make pure" Will
he Dlease iuform us what writer used it with this
meaning ? He asserts that "chdstiSe is an expression
of the Old Testament, used only before the gospel
of Christ was better understood But it is used
in the New Testament, as is also the correspond
ing noun. Now there are two Hebrew words,
each of which is sometimes rendered ckdSten, and
sometimes, chdsfise, and besides this meaning, one
of them, according to the connection means to er-
hort. TO ddnOnish, TO instruct and the other means
to comfort, to reproue, to Judge bet.Oeen parties
The writer says that To chastise brings to
ones mind the idea that an offender became chaste
or purified as soon as the law was eonciliated (;
[sicl as soon as the eye for eye and tooth for
tooth was taken, the accommodation was
withdrawn" &c. Is there not some confusion OF
thought here What has accommodation to do
with chastisement? Had the monks who submit
ted their backs to fagelIation been
ted? When Y. speaks of ian expression Of the
Old Testament, used only before the gospel Of
Christ was better understood" does he refer to
the original, or to the translation? If to the trans
Iation, what evidence does he adduce that the gos
pei of Christ is better understood now, than when
the translation was made?
And is sthe word school such a scarecrow to
children. that they go only because they are COM
PEELED by their p~arents?'' Now it seems to me
that this is nothing less than a SANDER upon our
teachers and if they do not resent it, it will be
because they consider it unworthy of notice.

Much has been written and more said about
the need of an increased water supply for the
city of Honolulu. Everybody feels that the
need is a pressing one, and the only question
to be decided-as to how the need is to be met
lis in the hands of the government. We have
had a numbe of articles from time to time in
the papers respecting the beneficial effects which
would ensue in the way of conserving the rain
fall, were the valley of Nuuanu to be r~eplanted
with trees, and the weight of public opinion,
based upon the experience of other countries and
the general testimony of scientists, is decidedly
in favor Of q system of forest planting as a
means of securing the continuance of our water
supply. But however firmly we may believe
in the theory and there are many who think
that the idea that trees make rain fall is not
supported by sufficient data 1T must be conceded
that the experiment will require years of labor
and the expenditure of considerable sums of
money before we can hope to see any results.
1t is also true that if anything in the way of
planting forests is to be done, it should be
commenced with as little delay as possible, in
view of the present rate of destruction of the
woods. And yet the trite proverb that delays
are dangerous comes home to us with double
force when we remember that our need of an
increased water supply is an immediate and
imperative one. Could the community be
assured tomorrow that there was in the valley
a reserve of several millions of water that could
be made Immediately available in the emergency
of a fire, no doubt the public mind would be
less apprehensive of danger by night or day,
and insurance agents would be less chary of
taking risks and cease limiting about increasing
rates. A speedy increase of the water supply is
therefore what the city needs most of all, and
this cannot be obtained by replanting the forest,
however desirable we may admit that to be-
but by the construction of new water works in
the valley, to secure and retain for use the rain
which is afforded during an average season. To
accomplish this, ample means are at the dis
posal of the government in the shape of the
appropriation by the late Legislature of $25 900
for water supply of Honolulu" The question
therefore before Ministers is this-shall the

LONDON MISSIONARY SocIErT.-Att the annual meet
ing at the North Australian Auxiliary Of the Lon
don Society, the annual sport Of the Secretary
contained the following paragraph:
Our missions in the South Seas are quietly pros
peTIng- The older missions have been growing
strong. and a numerous and well-iustructed native
agency is available for the eyangelization of the
groups OF islands which are still entirely heather.
These heather groups are clustered along the west
ern portion of the Pacific Ocean. And while the
society has set itself TO the great work Of evange-
Using New Guinea and the islands at its eastern
end il Is a matter Of great satisfaction 10 the direc-
tors that the societies which have shared the work
in the Pacific with themselves are extending il the
same direction; the Aelansian Mission will visit
the Banks and Solomon Islands; the Wesleyan
missionaries will occupy New Britain and New
Ireland; while the Presbyterians enlarge their
work in the New Hebrides: and the Hawaiian
Church evangelist the Marquesas and Micronesia.
Under Gods blessing, the successful accomplish
ment OF this noble scheme will not only save these
manly races from extinction, but will bring to
them enlightenment, safety, and comfort, and will
secure for them an honorable place in the Christian
history OF the world.

public money be used in the experiment of
replanting the forest of Nuuanu, with a possible
result in from ten to twenty years or shall it be
expended in the construction of new water works,
that within 4 years time will place Honolulu~
beyond the fear of destruction by FIRE? To our
minds, every consideration of sound policy
demands the adoption of the latter plan.
Let Us look at figures for q moment. The
land az the head Of the valley which it would be
necessary for government to acquire previous to
abolishing the famous cow pasture" is held

The PUBLIC are informed through the medium
of the HaUaiian Gazette, that the Board of I'm
migration has decided to invite the immigration
of Portuguese from the Western Islands, and that
arrangements have been made to bring such i'm
migrants, for a stipulated sum per person, on
whaleships on the way from New Bedford to the
Pacific.
While we would heartily welcome a large i'm
migration of the Industrious and orderly Portu-
guese with their families. to settle here perma-
nently, and will do all in our power to second
any proper efforts made to bring them hither,
yet we must say at the outset that we anticipate
no very favorable results from the plan as stated
by our contemporary. Any scheme of immigra
ton from the islands in-question-or indeed any
where else-In order to be successful must be
conducted through n duly authorized and accredi-
ted agent of this government, residing for the
time at least at the point of embarcation, and
who must be fully able and ready to give all re-
quisite information to intending immigrants.
The plan proposed of bringing out families in
whaleships, we regard as decidedly Objectionable,
and should recommend in preference the merchant
ships that every year to the number of four or
five come out to these Islands from Europe and
the United States, and which might be induced
to call at the Western Islands. A whaleship is
certainly not a desirable place for women and
children, when we consider the sort of men that
in these days go to make up the crews of such
ships moreover, a whaler does not often make
the passage direct, but oftener cruises for whales,
the trying out of which when caught covers the
ship from stem to stern with grease and filth.
But aside from questions pertaining to the
matter of passages, let us ask, what disposition it
is proposed to make of the immigrants after their
arrival? Some few may possibly be possessed of
sufficient capital to be at once able to purchase
homes, but the majority it may reasonably be
expected will be without any means of support
beyond strong bodies and willing hands. Has
tho Board Of Immigration the control of vacant
agricultural lands, on which to locate farmers
and their families, giving them time to earn and
pay the price Of an allotment? Or will they be
fed and housed at the expense of the Board until
they can find employment? Or will they be cx-
pected to engage at once as contract laborers on
plantations? Let us not be construed as suggest
ing obstacles for the sake Of fault-fnding; We
are simply presenting a few considerations that
must inevitably arise whenever we undertake to
procure immigration from civilized countries.
