philosophical laws it was an utter impos-

talking about, even though she was play

She was standing two and one half feet

teen feet away from another door leading
into Mrs Benefits room, and she does
not know whether it was shut OF not. |

the advance has been light, but the

enough to keep trade moving, claim

Vandalism at the Volcano.

MR. EDITOR: Visitors 10 kilauea the
past week have found that a certain per
son who has attracted some notoTiety in
Honolulu lately, has had the bad taste
not 70 say irnpudence-to use the various
volumes q the Volcano register as
means Of advertising himself and exhib-
iting 2 morbid self-coneeit shat seems TO
amount almost to disease He has
pasted in a. q irontispieee TO the first
volume his uusttractive portrait and the
printed abstract Of q sO-called sermon
that seems little less than blasphemOus.
II the other volumes vacant spaces are
rsed fOE the same portrait and the adYer-
tisement o. his occupation. Il Is out
rageous for stranger % SO disfigare the
register. b1r this is not the worst; on
the rocks below the fine new house, as
one passes into the crater, he mas printed
his name (which seems 10 be held in
great reverence by himself In red paint
OF the rocks, and fearing that possibly
some unlucky person might leave the
place without seeing this very distin-
guished name, ne has painted It again
on 3 board and nailed il to the fence.
Other names, presumably OF the work
men, are also painted on the rocks. Fur
Their comment seems unnecessary.

name 'kalua" asks question in Mon

wishes to know, when g decry sects as
the work OF the DEVIL" how l can be
such a Stickler in the mere outward or
material form OF baptism"
Mr.. Bishop, in The Friend, comes out
IN a similar tone by calling baptism 8 s
mere external ritual, and then seems
to choke Up and endesvors to draw the
attention OF the reader from the question
OF baptism by trying to throw dirt, say
ing, As already stated, We do not learn

In reference 10 Mr.. ). f. Bishop, l
know his head is whitening for the
grave, that he IS . missionary and that
ms bible commands him to speak evil
OF no man." Yet in the face OF all these
tacts, because he is in position, as edi-
tor of The Friend, he turns his back
upon them all and says by his article
that he mas written, = Ii | cannot give
Bible Tor sprinkling nor for baptizing
children, L can blacken Or. Hsmmond's
character, and perhaps kill his influ-
ence."
Why did not Mr.. Bishop call on Dr.
Beckwith, who invited me to preach in
the Union Church, or even ask Mr.. o. P.
Emerson, mis- associate editor, about
me? Each OF those gentlemen and about
twenty other families have COPY OF the
Monthly Record OF the Protestant Evan
gelical Mission OF London, dated August,
1890, IN which these words oecur: a. As

Mr. EDITOR: When our Lord
aud Master said 10 the Jews: SIX
-cept We eat the flesh of the Son of
Man and drink His blood We have
no life in you. Whose eateth Ny
flesh and drinketh Ny blood hath
eternal life, they strove among
themselves, saying: How can this
man give US his flesh 10 eat?" And
when Jesus saw that even His dis
eiples murmured, he said unto
them: 'Doth this offend you? 1t
is the spirit that quiekeneth; the
flesh prohteth nothing. The words
that l speak unto you they are
spirit and they are the life" And
St. Paul says in Cor. ii. 46: "Who
hath made Us able ministers of the
New Testament, not of the letter,
but Of the spirit; for the letter Kill

not this very forcibly illustrated

Not True.

Nh. EDITOR: In the 7. G. ADVERTISER
OF Friday. September 18th, is the follow
ing item, written and spread without
any truth, which should be eontradicted.
The item saws: Hon. A. P. Paehaole
and other prominent men on that island
tMolokail are obstructing the officers OF
the law, whose duty it is to send all sus-
pected lepers to the receiving asylum in
Honolulu. He has sdvised sus-
poets TO resist being sent to Honolulu,
and has aided in secludiDg them against
arrest"
wish it 70 be distinctly understood
that there is not one particle of truth in
the above item as above stated and pub
lished. | have never INSTRUCTED any
officer OF the law on this island in the
discharge Of his duty. During the month
OF August past, the police made several
arrests OF suspects, and they have all
been taken 70 Honolulu without any OPP
position from me, or of any one to my
knowledge.
Among these suspects, two children
from Halawa my place of RESIDENCE
were taken to Honolulu, and there ex-
amined by Board of Health doctors, and
have been returned. When they were
arrested, no one made any resistance to
the police in the discharge OF their duty,
and it has been the same way in other
parts of this island.
1t looks as if a certain government
physician has spread the above reports,
whose name could easily be given TO the
public. Ii seems that, forgetting his
better judgment and for other causes,
these untruths are being spread This
doctor has been placed at kona, Molo-
kai, but Is extremely surly and unplea
SAINT, especially to natives.
| believe he holds q special grudge
against me, fjr assisting, as lawyer, GER
tain parents who were taken before the
court for hiding, assisting, etc., lepers,
but were discharged by the Judge for
want OF evidence.
There is especial untruth in that part
OF the item which says that | have ad-
v.sed lepers 20 hide and resist being sent
to Honolulu. l have never done SO, but
the Deputy-Sheriff Of Molokai has,
through letters sent to relatives OF lepers,
given them warning OF what were his in
lC4slOAS and mus giving lll0LI Ctlduct
TO escape when they were wanted.
| assisted in the aforementioned /
case. for it is my work as lawyer, and /
am not 10 blame that the case fell |
through and they were discharged.
The item advises the Board OF Health |
and the Supreme Court TO consider what 4
| have done / advise the Board to dis 4
charge this doctor that has no patience /
or st least politeness, and who cannot !
get along without letting personal feel- /!
lngs get the better of him in his acts
and reports. As it is, no one has any
faith in him in his district !
Again deny the truth OF this mis-
chievious report about me, for, as one of
the makers of the law during several
sessions past, it would hardly be right
for me 10 De the one to retard or resist
It's action when at home.

Nothing easier, says Brother Ham

Next, the great Pedo-Sapiist family
