<WEBSTER.
First public statement of superior in
terest of United States in Hawaii.
Upon application of the Hawaiian
government for recognition by the
United States, Secretary of state Web
ster replied on December 10, 1872, that
the matter had been submitted to the
President (Ty1er), and
1.-The President is of opinion that the
interests of all the commercial nations
require that that government ttfawaiD
shall not be interfered with by foreign
powers. The United States
are more interested in tnf. fate
of the islands and of their government
than any other nation can be, and this
consideration induces the President 10
be quite willing to declare, as the sense
of the government of the United
States, that the government of the
Sandwich Islands ought to be respect
ed; that no power ought either to take
possession of the islands as a conquest
or for the purpose of colonization, and
that no power ought to seek for airy
undue control over the existing govern
ment, or any exclusive privileges or
preferences in matters of commerce."
(Appendix 2. For. Rel. of the u. s.,
1894, p. 44.)
webster's views were elaborated in
1851, as follows:
SECRETARY OF STATE H S. LIE
CARE
June IS, 1843, Secretary of State Le-
care sent a dispatch to Edward Ever
EFT, u. s. Minister at London, in which
the relations of the United States to
Hawaii are mentioned, by reason of the
then recent seizure of the islands by
England. In this connection he says:
ct is well known that we
have no wish to plant or to acquire
colonies abroad. Yet there is some
thing so entirely peculiar in the rela-
lions between this little commonwealth
Hawaii and ourselves that WE MIGHT
EVEN FEEL JUSTIFIED. CON-
SISTENTLY WITH OUR OWN PRIN-
CIPLES, IN INTERFERING BY
FORCE TO PREVENT ITS FALLING
INTO THE HANDS OF ONE OF THE
GREAT POWERS OF EUROPE.
These relations spring out of the
local situation, the history and the
character and Institutions of the Ha-
waiian Islands, as well as out of the
declarations formally made by this
government during the course of the
last session of Congress, to which I beg
leave to call your particular atten-
ton.
If the attempts now making by our
selves, as we'll as other Christian pow
ers, to open the markets of China to
a more general commerce be success
full, there can be no doubt but that a
great part OF that commerce will find
its way over the Isthmus. In that
event it will be impossible to overrate
the Importance of the Hawaiian group
as a stage in the long voyage between
Asia and America. But without an
ticipating events which, however, seem
inevitable, and even approaching, the
actual demands of an immense navi-
cation make the free use of these
roadsteads and ports indispensable to
US. It seems doubtful whether
even the undisputed possession OF the
Oregon Territory and the use of the

Topic for April 17-"How the Chinese
Worship meeting)
Dear Juniors: 5EJ4
In our last missionary meeting we learned
something about the way the Chinese live
their homes. their dress. their food and
their queer customs. This week we are to
study about their religions and learn what
We can Of their strange supersitions and
forms Of worship.
The three principal religions of China are
Confucianism. Buddhism and Taoism.
Every Chinaman calls himself Confucian-
list, but he may be Buddhist and a Taoist
at the same time.
Confucius was a man who lived at the
same time as the Prophet Daniel, about 500
who studied hard. and became famous as
teacher Confucius did mot command the
people to worship idols. but taught them to
reverence the gods. It was oConfucius who
gave the Chinese their golden rule which
Is, What you do not wish done to yourself.
do not do to Others" There are more than
fifteen hundred temples in China dedicated
to Confucius. and every Chinese child is
taught to worship him, and to sing:
Confucus, COnfucius! How great is Confucius!
Before Confucius there never Confucus;
Since Confucfus there never has been COnfucus.
Confucius, Confucius! How great is Confucus!
One kind of Chinese worship, which we
are told has grown out of Confucianisrn Is
the worship of ancestors. This form of re-
ligion has greater power over the people
than any other. By worshipping the souls
of the dead they think that they please
them, and that they will keep trouble away.
In April every year the graves Of the dead
are lighted with candles and an abundance
of rice and other food is placed on them

Recollections of an Old Doggis.

From the Young Folks Herald.
My life, dear children, has been the scene
of many hardships and troubles. My child
hood days were spent In happiness and Joy
I can well remember my small fellow mates
trembling at me and the many tricks /
played on these little doggies. But my hap
piness ended when l was five years old.
when 1 was sold to a rich merchant. who
had other dogs twice my value, anu you
need not think for a moment that 1 was
glad to be in a house where gold was used
as freely as water. No: that was the be-
ginning Of my troubles. My fellows looked
down upon me and were always happy
when tormenting me. l can hear them say.
as they said many times, You old, lazy
thing. you are of no use to our master"
They told my master to get rid of me. and
for once In his life he listened to them, and
the next day 1 found myself in a different
sphere. The inmates of the house were
very poor. They consisted Of one woman
and sweet child of ten. who praised me
and called me her first pet. / told her
was a very useless one. but she was never
any happier than when. with her head on
my back / told her OF my past life. Here
l stayed until was brought to my present
home, where / am as happy as In my first
