Mn. FRANK w. DAMON, who has definitely de-
voted his life to missionary work among the Chi
nese these Islands, returned to town We'd
nesday last from wo-weeks tour Of the Island of
Oahu, in company with Chinese colporteur. A
full account of the trip and its incidents may be
shortly expected in print from Mr. ID. and in the
meantime We may state that, result of hia per
sonal visits tn the numerous Chinese who ~ agri-
culturalists, traders, DC. scattered over this
Island, his interest in and his appreciation of the
magnitude and Importance Of the work have been
greatly stimulated md enhanced. While talking
about and planning for missionary work abroad
we are prone to forget that right here i'll midst
are many thousands of rs thorough heathens as
are to be found in the dark continents" Of the
world. With the important differences, however
that these heathens nave civilization Of theii
own which IL very ancient in the beliefs and prac

AT the Fort Street Church on Sunday evening
last, every seat filed with an attentive audi
ence to listen to the address of the Pastor, the
Rev. J. A. Cruzan, az previously announced, "tC
business men," The text was in the words of z
Apostle" Whether therefore We eat, or whether We
drink or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory OF
God" In n familiar, but Mt times eloquent dis
course of half hour, the preacher forcibly
calculated how the merchant, the planter, the an
ufacturer, the mechanic and the laboring man, III

while honestly, diligently and even absorbingly
devotng themselves to business, be working fol
the good of humanity, and thereby for the glory
of God. Thus ths discharge of our daily avoca
tons, IL done rightly and from right principles
was practical preaching of the Gospel, as really
if ono held forth on the street corner and would
perhaps do more good in the end. Lawyers, even
were to be included among those who, by consc
entious discharge of their duties could be advanc
ing the glory of God We note that nothing was
said about editors, and therefore are fain To sup
pose that, being preachers themselves, they wert
not specially preached to.
