Chinese Leper.

Early last evening a Chinese leper
hailed a hack driven by one of his
countrymen and said that he wanted
to give himself up and be driven to the
Kalihi receiving station. The driver
did not understand and took the man
to the police station. Officer Sam ku
was sent for, and, recognizing the man
at once, took him to the receiving sta
ton. He was evidently a leper who
had escaped from the station.

MIR. EDITOR: Sir-In view or the
fact that the commencement of the
proposed "new harbor" is assured,
l would again respectfully call yours,
the Governments and public's atten-
ton to the proposition presented in
your columns some months since; that
is, to make Allen street the city front
street proper, and making it at least 100
feet wide continue it around from the
end of the o. S. S. Co.'s wharf to Queen
street, making a continuous street
around the city front. 1t seems to me,
Mr.. Editor, that if the present owner,
who blocks public traffic on the city
front, is not philosophical enough to
grant the Government right of way,
81. essential to harbor development,
that the Government should take i'm
mediate steps to disposses him. In q
city of the Importance of Honolulu
such a state of affairs should not be al
lowed to exist, nor private rights block
public improvement.
Having made Allen street the city
front street, all wharves should, be-
tween the marine railway and water
(at the junction of o. s. S. Co.'S wharf
and Allen street, be extended out from
the street, such wharves being large
enough to place two ocean liners at
each. This, starting from the pro-
posed new wharf, would give, one for
CA. S. S. Co.'S steamers, one for P.
NJ S. S. Co.'S, one for o. S. S. Co.'s,
and two for the intermittent liners.
These wharves, even when in use by
steamers, would largely supply the
wants of the sailers The slips should
be wide enough to allow the placing OF
a coal or kindred vessel across to dis
charge freights at the bulkhead or sea
wall, the coal being placed adjacent to
the wharves on the Waikiki side, De-
tween the last wharf that way and the
marine railway, facilities also being af-
forded for discharging at bulkhead
or sea wall between those points.
The inter-iSland fleet could properly
and conveniently be placed in the in
ner harbor, the steamship companies
taking wharves there in lieu of those
they now occupy.
This would consolidate the foreign
going trade and make it easier to han:
die for all purposes.
The space designed for ships ana
wharves is now taken up by lumber
and coal piles which add neither &c
the beauty nor convenience of our city
trent. and to my mind careful proceed
ure upon the above lines will add
business facilities, comfort and attrac-
tiveness, and in place of coal and luIn-
| be- piles we will have beautiful
wharves and streets and commodious
warehouses (Which will naturally fol

There are some sections in Honolulu

would be the better for improvement.
Fort street. thanks to the honorable
member who presented the bill at the
last Legislature is improving all the
time as some of the property owners
are willing to meet the Government
half way in the matter of damages.
Just now the attention of the public is
called to improvements along the water
front; new wharves are to be built and
demands are made by a correspondent
that a street be extended along so that
all the wharves would open into it.
This is a case where an improve
ment club would not avail much I'M
less it's. membership included all of
the business men whose interests are
connected with shipping. Such q
change as is suggested by I'D. G. NJ"
would be a grand thing for the city and
in time it must be accomplished. But
if the matter is left for time to settle
it will be a long time before people
will drive over the street. A citizens
committe of fifty could look after such
things, provided the members were of
the right stamp, and accomplish a
great deal in the next Legislature.
There is apparently no reason why
Honolulu should not have presentable
water front and one that could be
available for wharf purposes. There Is
no reason why it should be unsightly

steamer from Honolulu. The accom-
panying map shows what the wharf

THE NEW TESTAMENT AND THE
HIGHER CRITICISM.

MUST confess that [ was amazed
in reading the first installment of
Rev. j. B. SAxe's article upon "The
Highest Evidences of the Truth of
Christianity" published in The UNI
vERsALIsT of August i44.a, to find
him declaring the unconditional sur
render of the "higher critics." par
ticularly the Tubingen school, to the
traditionalists.
As evidence of this surrender he
tells us that Prof. Harnack, of Berlin,
admits that Johns Gospel, "about
which there has been the most dis
pute,was written about the close of the
fret century" and that all of Paul's
epistles were written before 65 A. D.,
only thirty-five years after the
crucifixion."
He further says, Nov if this is all
true" viz, that the Scriptures were
written by those whose names they
bear, who were eyewitness of what
Jesus did ''as even these critics them
selves have come to admit, it should
seem that common sense would force
any reasonable man to acknowledge
that the evidence they furnish of the
truth of Christianity is irresistible"
To associate Prof. Harnack with
Baur and the Tubingen school and
to declare that the traditional views
of the authorship and dates of the
books of the New Testament have
been established "as even these
critics themselves admit" is, it seems
to me, to decidedly mix things. A
late writer of note, in speaking of
the perplexity of many critics caused
by the uncomfortable differences in
style and spirit between the Gospel
of John and the Apocalypse, which
makes it utterly absurd to attribute
both to the same author, says, that,
when 1t was suggested to Prof. HaT-
mack, by his own pupil, Vischer, that
the theory based upon certain dis
coveries that the Apocalypse is based
upon Jewish Apocalypse of SO
A. d. made over by Christian editors
to suit their ideas and purposes, in
the course Of the next fifty years,
that Prof. Harnack, who had given
bonds, as it were, to accept no such
theory" said: "The proffered solution
came upon me as the egg of Col.
umbus."
This does not look as though Prof.
Harnack belonged to the Tubingen
school. Nor can we regard him as

THOSE THREE FACTORS OF HU

BY REV. HOLMES sLADE.

GENERALLY read Bro Crane with
great deal of interest, for | have re.
garded him as one of our strong
writer's. Before | had come to know
him personally | was accustomed to
say that he was just about perfect as
sermonizer. But in treating the
subject of supernaturalism | am at
loss to know just what to think. 1
stop and wonder if my eyes are serv-
ing me. Have we been all these
years wasting our time in discussing
this subject of supernaturalism. to be
told at last that modern supernatur-
alism has no sympathy with super
natural ?"-that every
thing that leads on to something
higher and better is supernatural
supernatural "to that which is below
it" but becomes natural when it has
realized itself in the world" What
is the meaning of all this? If l at
some future period through my SUI
perior information shall be able to
perform an act beyond what am ca
pable of today, that is supernatural
act, is it?
IL sounds strangely to be told that
all enrichment of history" and
"every new creative act of God" is
supernatural. The theory as it will
be observed, is, that thing is super
natural as coming down from above,
and being of God. And how when
it is said "Of God, and through him,
and to him are all things7" There is
to me profound significance in
what is here said and itreveals itself
to us as often as we look beneath the
surface of things to the hidden mys-
terry that lies concealed there. 1t
teaches us that every thing comes
from the Infinite, and that every
thing is filled with the Infinite.

a degree of the happiness which our
liberties give us. We owe debt to
our own beloved country which can
only be paid by watching its inter
ests. And we can watch it's interests
best by caring for the interests of
our neighboring brother.
Two pages are before me. On one
a picture of the oncoming winter,
and lad looking out at the door OF
a great mansion. Wrapped in warm
furs, his cheeks are ruddy and his
eyes dance with delight as he shouts
ut snowsl 1t snowsr Turn the leaf
and there is another picture. A mis-
cradle hut, and the door is open. A
little cLild, wan, sick, ragged, and
wretched, is looking out and he says:

winter of grief comes with the ever
returning winter of gladness. There

ers in this world to. night. They are
freezing and hungry for Christian
sympathy, for the touch of brother
hood. Our mission as band of
Unioners is to scatter abroad that
sympathy which knows no wealth, no
position, no creed, no sect, but lists
to the cry of distress always and
everywhere.
The body must be cared for, else
the spirit perish. Christ taught this
when, before preaching to the multi
tude, he fed them. A strong body
means healthy spirit. Our place as
Unioners is to minister to the body
that we may thus reach the spirit. A
loaf of bread or an encouraging word
will avail more than a thousand
prayers.
The good accomplished by socie-
ty cannot be measured by the height

only by the depth of its love for man.
Let us then go on helping the needy
brother whether he be member of
church or not, whether he live in
China or America, whether he wor-
ships an image or the great golden
sun, or humblY bows to the God of
love; whether his skin be pale or
whether it be black as night-all, all
are the sons of God, our own broth
ers, and deserve the right hand of
fellowship in everything that makes
for the betterment of mankind. Fill

assigns the Gospel of John and the
Apocalypse both to st. John; but the
higher critics say they we're not both
produced by the same author.
Even DR.. James M artineau says:
"How strange that we should ever
have thought it possible for per-
sonal attendant on the ministry of
Jesus to write or edit a book in which
Jesus leads the war-march and treads
the wine-press of the wrath of God
till the deluge of blood rises to the
horses bits"
Surely only the nightmare of a
gross superstition could ever attri-
butte the un christian Apocalypse to
the beloved disciple" of Jesus.
Martin Luther al.o considered the
Apocalypse uncanonical.
The Synod of Laodicea 1850 A. D.
which made the first official list of
canonical New Testament writings
omitted it and forbade its public
reading. As to the Johannine author
ship of the Gospel of John that GER
tainly is not conceded by our best
and most trustworthy Biblical critics.
Furthermore it seems to me that
any fairly intelligent unbiased mind
must be convinced that that Gospel
instead of being simple biography
of Jesus is pronounced theological
treatise and exhibits a phase of
thought that hadn't developed until
long after Jesus death.
Brother SAKE, Judging him by the
last sentence Iquote from his article,
seems to be laboring under the idea
that Christianity stands or falls
with the Apostolic or non-Apostolic
authorship and literal truthfulness
Of the New Testament narratives.
Those who take that position
ought to learn lesson from the past
history of the Christian church.
John Wesley thought that to give
up belief 10 witchcraft was to deny
God and religion.
To give up the six-day creation
story was held TO be equivalent to
abandoning Christianity. So of
signs and onders"-comets and
eclipses as indicating Gods wrath,
possession and a thousand other
foolish notions belonging to the ig-
norant past have been thought to
be so connected with religion by
being mentioned in the Bible that
their rejection has been considered
unmistakable evidence of heresy and
has often led to the rack or the stake.
Why, when our fathers went up and
down the country preaching our
glorious Gospel and final holiness
and happiness" for "all," the Chris
tian people of the world really
thought they were enemies of God
and man, and that when they cast
out Satan-Sht of the Christian
scheme of things-it was no better
than an open avowal of dethroning
God. But Christianity has become
more spiritual and helpful by its re-
lection or elimination of all these
errors and superstitions and so it
will come to pass that when we shall
recognize the fact that our religious
life does not depend upon the author
or the date of any book or upon the
supposed suspension of any of Gods
laws, but upon the interchangeable love
and abiding presence of the Infinite
Father who is over all and in all and
through all revealing truth, and Civ
