THE JAPANESE MISSION.
Admission Of Converts to the Christian
Church.

Admission OF Converts to the Christian
Church.
There was very interesting service at
the Lyceum Sunday, l1th inst. During
the last few weeks there has been an in
creasing religious interest among the
japanese residents in the city, who have
formerly been Indifferent or opposed to
Christianity. Those connected with the
Japanese store on King street were the
first to break away iron their former re-
hgious connections, and avow themselves
believers in Christ. Others followed,
till twelve and more had come out and
taken their stand as witnesses OF Christ's
saving power. After due examination
it was decided that twelve, two OF them
women, should be baptized. A congre-
CATION Of nearly hundred japanese. and
half as many others, members OF the
Central Union Church, gathered at the
Lyceum Sunday morning. Alter brief
address from Rev. X. Miyama, and short
testimonials from the candidates and
others, these twelve were baptized. The
Sacrament of the Lords Supper was
then administered to the company OF
Christian believers present, OF differing
nationalities and various church eonnec-
tions. In administering the Sacrament
Rev. Mr.. Miyama was assisted by Rev.
DR.. HYDE, and the interesting services
closed with brief address and prayer
from Rev. S. f. Bishop.
The Japanese Y. NJ. c. A. held its
regular meeting Saturday evening, 10th.
The various committees reported the
work done during the past month, l50
letters sent to various plantations on
Hawaii, the evening school we'll sustained
in Queen Emma Hall, a lecture on Jerusa-
lem iron Mr. F. W. Damon, highly APP
preciated for its graphic descriptions OF
his personal observations in the Holy
City. Ii was voted to send 1000 letters
(lithographedl to all the plantations, to
interest the Japanese in Y. NJ. c. A. work;
and to observe last week as a season of
special prayer Mr. Ban was appointed
TO speak for the Y. NJ. c. A. at the
Christmas exercises to be held during

THRoUGH the courtesy of the officials
OF the Bureau of Public Works, we hsve
been shown the plans for the proposed
additions and alterations at the prison.
At the present time there is large Jog
in one side of the prison yard. This will
be done away with by pulling down part
OF the wall, and re-erecting it in such a
way a. to complete the quadrangle. BY
this change an additional area of nearly
i've thousand square feet viii be gained,
and space provided for some much
needed Improvements. The present
kitchen, water-cloSets, and sheds viii all
oe demolished, and replaced by new
structures at the extreme rear of the
yard, close to the new line of wall The
new closets, eight in number, viii be
arranged for the dry earth system, which
has the highest endorsement from the
best sanitary engineers. The sheds,
with benches under them, will be for
the accommodation Of prisoners when
confined on the premises on Sundays,
holidays, or through the stress OF
weather. The hospital, which is a frame
building, and can easily be moved, Will
also go back on the same general line as
the structures above named, thus utiliz-
ing space which is now vacant, and
entirely useless, At the present time
the hospital accommodations for all pur-
poses are comprised in one common
ward. At the suggestion OF the prison
physician, q small room will be added
to the present building. This will be
used as 4 dispensary and storage place
for medical sppplies 1t will also afford
that privacy for examinations, opera
tions and so or. which Is frequently desira-
ole, even III prison. The old portion
OF the prison proper will remain as at
present, but a new two-story wing, con-
tsining twenty cells, will be added on
the southerly or sesward side OF the
present yard. A drain about one hun
dred feet long viii lead from the kitchen,
hospital, etc, into the sea. The amount
appropriated by the Legislature for the
above described Improvements was
81 ,6S9. This appropriation was based
upon estimates prepared for the purpose
BY the Public Works Department We
consider 1t 1 matter OF regret that the
Ministry did not see their way to ask for
! larger amount, with view to increas-
ing sill further the cell accommodation.
Even with the proposed addition, it will
still be necessary to lodge q considerable
portion Of the prisoners two in q cell, an
arrangement which is considered objec-
tionable by most authorities on prison
management. However, with the kind
OF material Of which most OF our prison
population is composed, this, probably,
is not matter OF as much consequence
as where they have to deal with feIons
OF 4 more desperate class. "Profes-
sional' criminals OF the mere dangerous
kinds are very scarce in this country.

Fire at Honokaa.

4 serious fire occurred at HOnokaa.
Hawaii, Sunday morning, 11th inst, be-
tween the hours of l and O'Clock. The
house Of Mr.. A. Grote, which he used as
4 dwelling and tailor shop, was entirely
destroyed by fire. Not single article
was saved He himself vas at Ookala,
having gone to deliver some clothing.
There is no doubt that it was the work
OF an incendiary. One man Is now in
jail, and other arrests viii soon follow

The position Of the ADyEETIsER . an
advocate OF secularisn in state educa-
ton has been already announced, and
some OF the reasons for our opinion
stated in brief outline In further illus
tration Of our ideas. we viii offer the fol-
lowing quotation from recent writer:
at the foundation OF any system OF
state education, however simple or Ella
borate. lie these two ideas: First, that
the welfare Of Society and the state re
quires that the people composing that
state shall be possessed OF ! certain degree
of education; and, second, that the people
themselves cannot be depended upon, at
least at present, TO provide that educa-
ton for themselves" By the statement
that the people cannot be depended
upon to provide the necessary degree Of
education for themselves, We understand
simply, that the proportion Of children
who, owing to either the poverty, the
ignorance, or the indifference of their
parents, would be left without any ade-
quate mental training, would be suffi-
ciently large to constitute 4 grave public
peril. 1t may be said that the welfare OF
society and the safety OF the state re-
quire that the people shall possess ether
qualifications besides s certain amount
OF secular education, and that sound
ideas Of religion and OF religious duties
are one Of the most important Of these
Our answer to this Is simply, that a
school system supported by taxation,
and enforced by law cannot, without in
justice and oppression 10 some portion OF
the community, 20 much beyond those
matters about which there Is substantial
agreement among the individuals OF
whom that community Is composed.
Concerning the subjects with which an
ordinary secular education has to deal.
there Is such substantial agreement.
Concerning religious ideas and opinions,
there is not, and so far Is sny Of Us can
see intothe future, there Is not likely to be
Even were It possible, which II evidently
. Is not, to arrange : programme Of religious
teaching which would be agreeable to
both Catholics and Prutestants, We have
still the Jews. and the Mormons. and
the representatives of almost every form
Of religious belief, shading Of gradually
into no beliefs At al, and downright mate
rialism. Again, most, # not all. Of
those other matters which may &c
named as essential 10 good citizenship
can be reasonably veil provided for IN
other WAYS, but experience has shown
that If the Necessary facilities for the
acquisition of the ordinary branches Of
secular knowledge are not provided BY
the state, there Is no other organization
or agency which ever has, or can now,
