BAPTIST CHURCH.

BAPTIST CHURCH.
Pastor Vsnn preached from
1.-The time Of this ignorance
God winked 1t, but now commandeth
men everywhere to repent"
Theme:-KFPENTANC
What repentance is not.
/. FEAR Is NOT REPENTANCE.-Men
sometimes mistake many other things for
repentance. Men have the wrong notion
Of repentance, and the mistake of fear for
repentance is common. when one il
afraid of beng punished for his sin. be
does not always repent for it. # the con.
dition of punishment for wrong dong
were removed the man would be no long
er afraid, and so his supposed repentance
would not be repentance, but simply
fear.
The terrors Of the thunder storm some
times frighten US whom We contemplate
our disobedience and wrong doing, and
We wish we had not slnned; but we do
not then repent-we are only filled with
fear.
2. WEEPING IS NOT REPENTANCE
Many time weeping is but the measure
OF tho emotional nature, and tears are
sometimes near the surface. The most
heartfelt repentance is sometimes unsc-
companied by single tear. while the
face is wrinkled and hard and the eyes
are dry.
3 SORROW FOR SIN is NOT REPENT
ANCR. Some one doubtless is surprised to
hear his declaration, and Yet it is true
The thief running from before the
muzzle of = shotgun that drives him
from the smoke house is sorry enough
for his SID bat be does not repent. The
criminal at the bar is weighed down with
sorrow for his crime because he expects
to see the gates open soon and let him
pass into the penitentiarY, and no one
rejoices in the prospects Of the peniten-
tiarY; but that is not repentance.
4. REPENTANCE Is CHANGE OF
MIND.-Real genuine repentance comes
from the power to think. and to think
about God. A man must think of God
and his loving kindness, his mercy, ::hls
gracious favor and pin his mind down to
God and his power before
ne can repent. Real repentance is
the act OF the lotellect-lt cones
from God, and vet man 10 response

him the opportunity to think upon
him and to change bis MUD. Who.
yer repents loves God, and to love
God We must know him-know OF
him; and to know Of him one must
think about him. So then. the troe
is the change Of tie mind
towards God and change Of mind to.

the majority Of the foreigners
stand shoulder to shou der n
their fight for the preservation
of Hawaii independence and
the restoration of the Hawaiian
popular governnIent-the mo-
narchy. The news received from
Washington have been OF the
most satisfactory nature and
everything indicates the speedy
solution of the present situation.
The appointments OF Minister
Willis and Consul General Mills
have been received with
high satisfaction BY the Hawaii
ans as sign Of the final absn-
donment of the annexation
scheme and with corresponding
dissatisfaction by the alleged
Americans here who object to
Willis, because he IS Southern
err, and to Mills. because he is au
Englishman. Trsde aud business
are stagnating under the Provl-
sional regime and the times are
harder than ever known before In
Hawaii. The unpopularity of the
government is consequently being
emphasized daily and its speedy
collapse 10 make room for a po-
pular government is hoped for
and prayed for by all the well
wishers of Hawaii-nei.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The satisfaction which the
annexation organs seem to gain,
because as they claim The
Gar" of Russia has recog-
nized the Provisional Govern
ment, is really amusing. II
The annexation editors knew
the first thing about the manner
in which diplomatic business is
carried out in Europe, and
more especially in Russia, they
would have saved their enthu-
siasm for some other occasion.
Because they would have been
aware that the letter from the
Russian Foreign Office, is sim
ply an acknowledgment of the
receipt of the letter from the
Hawaiian Foreign Office mailed
some time during the latter
part of January, and the time
elapsed before the answer is
comparatively short. 1t gen.
orally takes year or more to
finish a communication with
che Foreign Office in st. Pc
tersburg.

The word used in the Rus.
sian letter, terming Hawaii the
Hawaiian Republic, is sufficient
proof that the Russian Foreign
Office doesn't know the first
thing do we believe that
It cares to know--about the
present situation in Hawaii.
Mr.. de Giers may have some
faint idea of where Hawaii is,
but if the form of government
Is republican, or imperial, or
monarchical. is far beyond the
reach of his knowledge, and
does not command his attention
or interest. In regard to the
Gar, and still more the Car
ana. it is well known that they
emphatically and strongly dis
courage and object to any over
throw of monarchies. 1t is
considered by them as by other
royal persons in Europe, very
bad precedent and a method
which should be opposed in
any possible form and manner.
But by all means, let the cam
mons be fired in honor of the
Gar ofall the Russias. While
he never viii know about it.

We Scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites.

In the Gospel according to ST
LIKE, we are told how Christ
scathingly rebuked the insolent
Scribes and Pharisees, saving
unto them woe unto We, scribes
and pharisees, hypocrites. /" The
teachings of Christ were lost up
on these people who had an
arrogant conceit that they were
sunerior to the rest of their fell
low men. Their character has
passed down through the ages
and through the nations I'M
redeemed by the Savior's teach
ings, and in this nineteenth
century they are the same, if not
worse. than they were of old. In
fair Hawaii their mantle has
fallen. as it was in Jndea. upon a
conceited clique. who are
modernly called missionaries
But the scribes and pharisees
of biblical times were holy men
compared to their modern types
we have in mind. Malice, deceit.
treachery, vindictiveness. jeal-
ousy and black hearts are added
to the conceit and hypocrisy of
the ancients, and form the cpl
tome of the modern phaIisee or
missionary"

We don't know what clerical

Mr.. Mills is called so, because
he has held clerical positions in
Washington as we'll as with Mr..
Blount. 1t is probably inst on
that very account that he has been
chosen to fill the important posi-
ton to which he has been APP

the Advertiser editor is shaken
out of his usual lethargy and in

treasury.
We hear every day about the
great surplus of 500 600 which
il is claimed the treasury can
boast OF. The truth is that there
was Il much larger sum in the
treasury when the revolution
took place and that the P. G. has
shameiully squandered the whole
amount besides every cent which
it has been able to rob. steal, or
borrow. There is no surplus to-
day. The $500 owed by the
government on the notes which
were transferred by Colonel
Spreckels, are overdue and re-
main unpaid. The cash on hand
