Collected Thoughts.

Let gentleness appear in all your
conversation. John Wesley.
GAIL things whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do ye even
so to them," is of greater utility in
the practice of life, than hundred
rules which present the exact degree
of kindness that should be afforded in
prescribed cases. Jonathan Dymond
Our life should be a representation
of the life of Christ who went about
doing good. Moses Hemmenway.
Ejaculatory petitions to God should
be intermixed with every transaction
of a Christian. Thomas Scott.
Do we believe there is another
world ? Let us then not live as if
there were no other.
William Penn.
Prayer is the most secret intercourse
of the soul with God.
Adam Clarke.
What wars and plumbers, fires and
desolations are committed by Chris
Jams of the same faith and church!
o the fires and murders of professed
Christians! If this be godly what is
deyilish? If this be Christian what is
paganism ? What is anti-christian I?
Jesus saith "By this shall all men
know that We are my disciples if ye
love one another?' 1t is not to be
supposed that they kill one another in
love, for murder is not the effect of
love. o Christendom how art thou
fallen from the doctrine of Christ !!
William Penn. If the great and wise
and good William Penn had been on
earth during the American Civil War
he would have condemned that war
as strongly as he did the wars of Chris
tendon in his day.]
I'have long been convinced that the
emperor Constantine, in the 4th cen
tury, by calling himself a Christian,
and pouring a flood of wealth and
honor on the Christian Church, the
clergy in particular, was productive of
more evil to the church than all the
ten prosecutions put together. From
the time that power and riches and
honor of all kinds we're heaped upon
the Christians, vice of all kinds came
in like flood, both on the clergy and
laity. From the time that the church
and state, the kingdoms OF Christ and
of the world. were 80 strangely and
unnaturally blended together, Chris
tianity and heathenism were so thor
oughly incorporated with each other,
that they will hardly ever be divided,
till Christ comes again to reign.
John Wesley.
Alas! Alas! "the Kingdoms OF
Christ and the world" throughout all
Christendom are still strangely and
unnaturally blended together" with
no present indications of a separation.
John Hemmenway.

The Value OF Hawaii.

Editors of the Kennebec Journal:
Mr.. John Magoon, an old time resident
of Litchfeld, who has made Honolulu,
the capital city of the republic of Hawaii,
his home for the past fifteen years, is now
visiting at the home of his childhood.
He has ON several occasions addressed
quite large audiences o his old neighbOrs
and friends, and delighted all who have
listened to his description of the islands,
climate, customs, and habits of the ma
tives, and the good people of Honolulu,
whom he regards as among the very best.
Mr.. Magoon became resident of Homo
lulu during the reign of kalakaua, who
acceded to the throne in 1874, and, taking
an active interest in the public affairs of
the islands, is thoroughly conversant with
their political history.
He has given in his talks on Hawaii,
an interesting account of the causes that
led up to the death of monarchy, the re-
suit of it's own foolish and barbarous acts.
OF Hon. S. B. Dole. President of the
republic of Hawaii and his cabinet, con-
sisting of Hon. +. NJ. Hatch, minister of
foreign affairs Hon. j. A. King, minister
of interior; Hon. S. NJ. Damon, minister
of finance; and Hon. w. O. Smith, attor-
ney general, Mr.. Magoon says that for
principle, honesty and uprightness of
character, honesty of purpose and execu-
tive ability none could excel, and to know
them was to respect them for their noble
manhood.
He also paid a most flattering tribute to
ex-Minister John i. Stevens. He says
that while it may be true that those who
now have control of the Hawaiian gov
ernment are masters of the situation, and
are thoroughly American in principles and
interests, yet the islands are open on all
sides to dangerous adyenturers and intri-
guers from abroad. The native population
is rapidly diminishing. Today the islands
have but a small percentage of what they
are able to sustain. Therefore it is plain
that the tide of emigration will decide the
future possessors of the islands Situated
as they are, in the middle of the Pacific
ocean, in the line of ocean travel, they are
to commerce, what the oasis is to the trav
| eller on the desert. He graphically de
scribes the time when they We're compelled
to choose between monarchy with all its
debasing tendencies on one hand, and
Christianity with its uplifting influences

The position of the employees of the
sugar reilneries under the control of II
trust is a lesson that should result in some
practical prohibition of trusts. If all
protection be taken from refined sugar it
is probable that the trust will retain its
control of the monopoly, but some of its
refineries are likely to go out of the coun-
try and the wages of its employees must
inevitably go down. But if the refining
of sugar remains under the control of a
trust the people cannot obtain the full
benefits of protection applied to it, which
demands competition to render its benefits
equitable. Large enterprises, concentra-
ton of capital, are economic features of
the present but it is the duty of the
people of this country to see that competi-
tion be not killed until some other safe
guard against monopoly be substituted
