The Mon,hlies.

The FiTeNd for October opens with
an article on Evolution" favoring the
doctrine of "theistic evolution" An
other article is an appreciative account
of Hon. H. A. p. Carriers visit "Notes
by the Way" heads some description of
Rev. j. A. Cruzan's vacation on Maui,
Mr. Fuller, who was in the same party,
giving in the " M. c. A. department
similar experiences. Both apparently
we're filed with wonder and admira-
ton of the natural scenery of that
island. Rev. James NJ Alexander
contributes a poem on Hawaiian
Morning Glories," and Mr.. f. l..
Clarke ga Midsummer Episode" con.
Guiding with the sentiment "that God
has made beautiful and attractive these
islands Of the sea to compensate us, in
large measure, for our isolation from
our continental homes" We always
thought the islands were made for the
kanakas, and only the sugar cane for
the haoles. Rev. Arthur ID. Bissell
has No. of education in India%
Mr.. F. w. Damon, "Notes Of Mission
Work among the Chinese on Hawaii
and Maui" telling of his tour with
Mrs Damon and Rev. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lechler on those islands, and the Rev.
Il. P. Baker writes of "The Surviving
Missionaries Living on the Island Of
Hawaii" The latter are: Father
Lyons, of Waimea, who arrived in
1892; Mother Hitchcock, of Papaikou,
who arrived also in 1892; the present
Mrs. Lyons, who arrived in 1885;
Father Bond, of Kohala, and Father
Paris, of Kona, who arrived in 184I;
DIR. Wetmore, of Hilo, who arrived in
IS40, and Mrs, Reed, of Waiakea,
formerly Mrs, Shipman, who arrived in
1854. These seven are all the mis-
sionaries still living on the Island of
Hawaii. The paper on "The Japanese,
by Rev. s. f. Bishop, recently read at
the Lyceum, is printed in full. All the
departments, with the exception of the
educational, which is crowded out, are
up to the EfiendS established standard
Of excellence.
The Anglican Church CH,Onicle for
October leads off with an article on
Religious Education" attributing
much of the lawlessness of these days
to the neglect of religious education.
The pith of the article is in the follow
ing sentence, eve would have every
teacher imbued with the spirit of the
Sermon on the Mount, and that he
should make it the most important part
of his daily work to instil the precepts
thereof in his pupils, not of compulsion,
but by reason of conscience" An
article on, "What are we Going to Do
with Our Boys" speaks of growing diff
fcuties in the way of those who would
live by their wits in these Islands 1t
favors the appropriation for educating
Hawaiian youths abroad, but suggests
that the selection of benefciaries
should be by competitive examination,
$50 that no suspicion could be enter
tanned of favoritism by any person or
persons whatsoever, and that the son
of the poorest native in the poorest
district might have his chance to reach,
by personal merit, the highest place in
the nation open to him who has reach
ed the size and con6guration Of a man.
The healthful stimulus has been lost.
1t can never be created by holding up
the glittering prizes of official salaries.
Four pages and half are occupied
with the continuation of "Our Pilgrim
age" by traveller from Hawaii through
the United States to England, contain
ing many interesting episodes. A full
department of "Church News" and a
page or two of selections complete the
number. 1t is evident that what the
editors hands have found to do they
are doing with their might.
