But the tremendous enthusiasm with
which the war with China has been well
coined all over Japan, and especially by
the Japanese in this country and other
parts OF the world, shows that their pa.
triotism is of very genuine character.
and that it is capable of making many
sacrifices willingly.
The bearing of the subject under dis.
cussion upon the outcome of the war
which is on hand, is obvious; but mind
full of the dictum of Horace Greeley
about prophecy and the lost arts. we
shall not venture upon even a forecast.
But we think it certain that most of
those who are we'll wishers of both en-
pires, and who are practically acquaint-
ed with the people of these lands, must
be impressed with the moral value of a
comparative failure to carry their point.
We are afraid that absolute success would
make either of them insutferable. and
for that reason We must hope that China
will be beaten and japan defeated!

in mills helps to make up the volume of

STEAMER "ooEAN1o," Nearing Honolulu,
Dec. IL. 1894.
DEAR UNIvERsALIsT:-We sailed ac-
cording to expectation from San Fran
cisco Tuesday. December 4. A number
of our friends from Santa Cruz, Oak
land and San Francisco were there to
see us off The parting seemed hard.
and yet it was pleasant to think we were
leaving so many tried and true friends
in our native land who would hold us in
their thoughts and present us in their
prayers "at the Throne of the Heavenly
Grace" though Far, Far Away"
Our friends stood upon the pier and
waved handkerchiefs as we slowly backed
out of the dock and steamed along San
Francisco's waterfront, headed for the
Golden Gate. We passed Angel Island
with its frowning fortress on our right;
soon after the Presidio, with it's brick
walls upon our left and we're soon pass
ing through the Golden Gate. Then we
caught glimpse of the Seal Rocks and
the Cliff House, but the dark fog soon
settled down and shut out all view of
Americas recedipg shores.
We remained a little while on deck
enjoying the refreshing breeze but
"queer feeling about the head" admon-
ished us to go below and assume re-
cumbent position" which we had been
advised was best on such occasions.
The Steamer Oceanic.
We thought ourselves peculiarly for
tunate in securing passage on the "Oce-
anic." belonging to the old Atlantic
white Star Line" it having been trans
ferred to the Pacific coast. 1t is fine
large steamship built of iron-iron frame
upon which are bolted plates of inch
thick iron. 1t is fairly finished and fur
nished in W ood. but understand is con-
sidered so antiquated that after this
voyage she is to be taken to England
and all her wooden parts taken out and
rebuilt, though it seems, good enough
now for all reasonable demands. We
had heard she was good sailor and
did not roll about like that old tub the
Getty of Pekin." But we missed our
guess. The Oceanic" was overloaded
with flour and some bars of silver for the
Orient, which 50 moved her center of
gravity from the normal that do not see
how any old tub could have done worse.
] do not know how many motions tbs
ship has, but it was no wonder that
we were sea-sick and others with us.
No self-respecting set of nerves could
have done otherwise.
We had already become "car-sick" be-

Theological Conversation.

Our Presbyterian friends we're anxious
to know why we should be going to the
heather "if everybody is going to be
saved anyhow" But we do not believe
or teach that all are to be saved any
how. Men are to be saved in the way
God has Observation-Disclosures that may
be; and as Christians we believe that
that way Is conformity to the life and
teachings of Jesus Christ, the Saviour
of the world therefore we strive to
bring people into conformity with him.
"But if there is no endless punishment
what is the use-why do you go?" they
asked. Il CO." replied, "iust as would
go to you if thought l could benefit
YOU" How do you expect to benefit the
heathen?" by giving them higher,
nobler, truer ideas of God, and of their
relations to him. and Of duty growing
out OF these relations. By giving them
higher ideals of morality; by leading
them to Jesus Christ who will take them
to the Father. who will instruct. en-
courage, inspire and save them.' But
if all are to be saved. they will be saved
without your going" Perhaps without
my going. yes; but some one must go,
for that is the way God has chosen to
save men," But" returned, "why do
you go? Those who are foreordained to
be saved will be saved. Those foreor-
dained to be lost will be lost" "Well,"
said the PresbYterians, lit is foreor-
dained that we should go and preach"
"Well," / returned. sit is also foreor-

Bishop of Japan alone.

more in the lines from which he had
been promoted. Though the present

There is entertainment for all tastes at the Wonderland this week. James Thornton, the great monologue artist, who heads the bill, is exceptionally clever as a maker of fun MT. Thorn ton is the famous author of Pretty Maggie Mooney" My Sweetheart's the Man in the Moon," and other popular songs, and he sings several bright and catchy selections of his own compost ton during his monologue Hafford and Mantell are among the greatest favorites on the bill, their descriptive singing drama and the tuneful song "Jane" being especially pleasing. Crim- mins and Gore the little Mccoy sisters, Seeley and West, Gilbert Sarony, MT. and Mrs. Lester, Miss Pearl Raymond, and the Fills with their marionettes, have won much favor also with their specialties. The whole bill is very attractive.

 Anniversary of MT. MineF's Pastorate-Dr.
 Miller of New York Speaks on Matters of
 Interest to the Race.
 The twelfth anniversary of the pastor ate of Rev. A. F. Miller of the Dix we'll avenue church was celebrated last evening at the church. Despite the rain the church was well filled with members of the congregation and the many friends of MT. Miller, A we'll ar ranged program was corried out as follows:
 Piano Solo--Niss Abilene Cooper. Music-Chureh Choir
 Prayer.
 Recitation--NIis Maggie Randolph. Solo-Only the Sound of a Voice-John w. H. Ross.
 ecitation-William A. Brown.
 Music-Church Choir.
 Anniversary Address--"Some Crisis
 and How They Have Been Met
 Rev. Ernest Lyons, D. D., pastor
 of St. Marks church, New York. Duet-The Misses William Prioleau.
 The recitation by Miss Randolph was very humorous and was well rendered. MT Ross solo was particularly fine and was sung in a most pleasing man ner. eFreceived loud applause. MT Browns recitation was also a very neat productionL pr. Lyons was introduced by MT Miller and in opening his address sadi that Shakespeare says crisis only come to men and nations once, that is real crisis. Every na- ton and every people have had to meet their crisis as has also every man of whom history has given any account, or who has climbed the ladder of honor, or distinction. In mythology also we read of the crisis met by Her. cules, Theseus and other heroes, but passing to our own world of business, capital labor and religion we find that the crises are there. In religion they have been met by Luther in Germany and by Knox in Scotland. In the war with Louis XIV. Holland met the crisis and was saved from the conqueror. Napoleon met his crisis and was lost. Coming to our own country from these historic scenes we review the great crisis met by the colored race from which they are now recovering. They can only do this by their own effort. Let the young men and women of the race work for its uplifting. The race which thirty years ago was without money or homes, now owns $500, 900 worth of property in this country, turns out yearly over 4.00O trained mechanics and has 15,OOO young men and women in industrial school training their heads and their hands.
 The audience was highly delighted with the adress and the speaker was frequently interrupted by bursts of ap- plause. After the program was com pleted refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening was spent in social festivities
