CHRISTMAS AT THE CHINESE
CHURCH.

There was a highly interesting collection
of young Chinese folks along with a con-
course of foreign visitors assembled at the
Chinese Church yesterday evening. On
this occasion Professor Frank w. Damon
delivered his maiden discourse in the Chi
nese language. This gentleman has made
remarkable progress in the acquisition of
this the most difficult of all languages.
Chinese scholars Of European race are eX-
ceedingly rare, but Professor Damon by
zeal and devotion to the study of the lam
guage, promises to be rare among the rare
ones. Cinnamon present on this occasion
expressed their establishment at Mr.. Da-
mons knowledge of their language ac-
quired in so short a period. And. looking
at the concourse of interesting, intelligent
looking, well-dressed young Chinese folks
assembled, all could readily appreciate the
inducements for the zeal of Prof. Damon.
This Chinese School and Church that has
sprung up so recently and rapidly, is an
object of the highest public interest. The
King, who was present part of the time,
Is manifestly impressed with this fact,
His Majesty was much interested in the ex-
ercises and evidences of progress made by
his young Chinese subjects. The Minister
OF fOrelSn AIalFS, VINO IeelS Il ueep Interest
in this excellent institution, was also pres
ent. Such a one offers a happy solution
for difficult problems in respect to con-
hict of races which trouble the minds of
some pessimist statesmen, but His Majesty
and his Minister see only the assurances of
harmonious relations between races regard
ed through old prejudices as having only
anti-pathetic and ~antagonistic views. Prof.
Damon is establishing a very numerous
and happy race family, and is contributing
largely to the happy assimilation of diverse
races to the domain of King Kalakaua.
One of the new features Of this Chinese
religious and educational institution is the
establishment of a school for the education
of young Chinese females. Female education
opposed and is only receiving a partial con-
sideratiOn, but i'll Asiatic countries female
education has never been thought of, or has
been regarded as II folly and almost an inn
piety; hence, to undertake the education OF
Chinese girls is q new departure of the most
significant interest. Let this purpose take
hold of the Chinese mind, and they consent
to have their girls rs we'll educated as theil
boys, aad the idea awakens to the mind thu
~mOst marvellous and beneficent results fol
the human race.
May God prosper Prof. DamOn's purpose
of Chinese female education, now for tile
first time initiated in this country under the
supefintendence of Mis- PaysOn as PTinci-
pal, assisted by Miss Ciench.
There was a beautiful Christmas-tTee, and
4 delightful lot of presents for the happy
young Chinese folks on this occasion.

The Honolulu A. D. Club.

The Amateur Dramatic Club repeated on Mon
day eveing their performance Of " The Silent Pro-
tectOr and s. Trial by jury On this occasion
they generously gave their services for the benefit
of the Honolulu Athletic Association. That Asso-

of its building, and the public generally

As might have been expected from
the success of the first representation the Music
Hall Was well Tiled on Monday night in spite of
the showery nature of the weather. Although the
weather did not deter many from attending who
had the intention to be present, it naturally
affected those who had to take the leading parts in
the Operetta of Trial by Jury, - none of whom,
in as good voice as ~tEcywere last week, which in this
climate $50 trying TO the voice. was unavoidable,
the performance of this amusing piece, and of the
still more amusing comedietta which preceded 1T,
went of splendidly. The pubic of Honolulu arc
deeply IN the debt of this spirited society for the
entertainments they from time 10 time provide.
The quality Of such public entertainments as pro-
fessional companies occasionally provide us with

formances, and is generally too far below it to
satisfy the cultured portion uf tle community
Under such circumstances 1t IS most fortunate Tor
Honolulu that we have here amateurs 81 accom-

Amateur Dramatic Club and saying this VIC feel
sure that we echo the sentiments of all who are in
the habit of witnessing their performances. On
Monday night 4 change was made ia the musical
part of the programme. The overture was the

instead of Mr.. 4aTndley's solo on the violin, n
pleasing quintette, the " Danse DIES Lutins " (the
Hob6obiins' dance), was given.

A Remarkable County,
"a REY. ROBERT P. KERR

Sitting In the hall of hotel in Mil
ledgeville, Ca, your correspondent tell
into conversation with the Presiding JUS
tice of Putnam county, GA. He is a Pres
byterian, lawyer, and gentleman APP
parently much interested in public NOR
ais, He told me some things about his
county which the public ought to know.
1t is temperance county. No sort OF
strong drink is sold, except for medicinal
purposes. The abolition of bar-rooms
was the spontaneous act of the people.
Before this was done they had the usual
amount of crime which is found in our
county towns and country. But since
the prohibition of liquor a great change
has appeared. During the last three
months the justice said he had only issued
t10o Uo'roaatS for the arrest of evil doors.
This was a decrease Of four hundred per
cent in arrests for crime. The popula-
ton of the county is $4,000.
The town of Eatonton, which is the
county seat, has population of 1,4OO.
By actual count, there are only 81 per-
sons that have attained years of discre-
ton, who are not members of some church.
There is not doctor or lawyer who is
not protesting Christian.
AT the same time there is a general
advance in public energy and thrift. The
people are free, and in the enjoyment of
their liberty are improving their condi-
ton in many respects.
The day before this conversation was
had, one of the physicians of the Georgia
Insane Asylum told me that of his nine
hundred patients, fully four-ffths were
insane from the effect of liquor drank by
themselves or their parents.
There are some theoretical objections to
prohibition, but common sense says that
anything which, like ardent spirits, does
mankind such fearful damage, should be
prohibited, Just as we would quarantine
against smallpox or yellow fever. And
II the abolition of rum is attended with
such happy results as in Putnam county,
Ga, it is but common sense, again, to do
what is productive of such remarkable
benefit to the people

ApropoS, every writer since Trench that
has referred to this word has told the
story of the Sootchman who in one of the
church-courts warned his brethren of the
udicatory not to style the deliberations
by that term as it denoted zone of the
rank sins condemned by the apostle"
1t is scarcely needful to remark in the
way of qualifying statement that the rem
derings censured as involving unintelli-
gible archaisms are often very good words
In themselves-but happen to be words
which sometimes (and always where cen
sured) fail to convey the sense required
by the Greek and the particular text,
where they occur.

Asking a Blessing.

There is nothing which is right for us
to do, but it is also right to ask that God
would bless it; and, indeed, there is
nothing so little but the frown of God
can convert itinto the most sad calamity
or His smile exalt it into most memora-
bic mercy; and there is nothing we can
do, but its complexion for veal or woe
depends entirely on what the Lord Will
make it. 1t is said of Matthew Henry,
that no journey was undertaken, or any
subject or course Of sermons entered up
on, no book committed to the press, nor
any trouble apprehended or felt without
particular application to the mercy
seat for direction, assistance and sue
cess. 1t is recorded Of Cornelius
Winter, that he seldom opened book

ment's prayer The late Bishop Heber

What Constitutes an Editor

Editor Watterson, in the Louisville
Coo~5er-Jou1ndl, speaks as follows about
conducting newspaper:
"Some people estimate the ability of
a periodical and the talent of its editor
by the quantity of its original matter. II
is comparatively an easy task for frothy
writer to string out a column of words
upon any and all subjects. His ideas
may flow in one weak, washy, everlasting
flood, and the command of his language
may enable him to string them together
like punches Of onions, and yet his paper
may be but a meagre and poor concern.
Indeed, the mere writing part of editing
a paper is But a small portion Of the
work. The care, time employed in selec-
ting, is far more important, and the fact
of a good editor is better shown by his
selections than anything else; and that,
we know, is half the battle. But we
have said, an editor ought to be esti-
mated, his labor understood, and ap-
preciated, by the general conduct of mis-
PaPer-lts tone, its uniform, consistent
course, aims manliness its propriety. To
preserve these as they should be pre-
served is enough to occupy fully the time
and attention of any man If to this be
added the general supervision of the de-
tails Of publication which most editors
have to encounter, the wonder il how
they find time to write at all
