 LETTER FROM THE BISHOP. 
 
 Honolulu, 
 
 I^ovemher 21st, 18S1. 
 My dear Friends, 
 
 I omitted to write you a Letter last year, and have 
 
 allowed two years to pass without sending you any Statistical 
 
 Returns. To make some amends for these delinquencies, I now 
 
 send with my Accounts for the year, the present Statistics of the 
 
 Mission, which show a small increase on 1879. The number of 
 
 Clergy has risen from four to nine — five Priests and four Deacons. 
 
 The Communicants are now 316, against 227 in 1879 ; the 
 
 number Confirmed in the two years being 70. 
 
 I do not intend writing a long Letter, for the way seems 
 clearing for me to pay a brief visit to England, which I trust may 
 be productive in many ways of good results to the Mission ; and, 
 if I am not disappointed as I was at the beginning of the year, I 
 hope to have opportunities of giving many of you a further 
 account of the condition of the Mission than is possible in a Letter. 
 
 I must, however, attempt a brief sketch of our present 
 position. 
 
 First, as regards the Building of the Cathedral, there seems 
 every prospect of this now being taken in hand in earnest. 
 Mention was made in last year's Report that a very excellent 
 stone is obtainable on the Island. Twenty-five years ago some of 
 it was brought to Honolulu j but since then no one had thought 
 of using it. We have now 5,000 feet of ashlar cut, and much 
 more in the rough ready for shipment. It is not anticipated that 
 there will be any difficulty in shipping. The stone is somewhat 
 darker than Bath stone, of a firmer grain, easily worked when 
 first exposed, but setting as hard as granite after exposure. It 
 has been proposed that the plans should be somewhat modified,
 
 and we are now waiting for a communication from the Architects 
 on the subject. 
 
 In Advent 1880, Mr. A. Clark and Mr. F. W. Merrill were 
 admitted to the Deaconate. Mr. Clark continues in charge of 
 Waialua ; but his School has been taken over by the Board of 
 Education. Mr. Merrill has the Government School at Kaneohe ; 
 so that the Mission funds are relieved to the amount of the 
 salaries they receive from the Government. 
 
 Miss Albro has now been in charge of St. Cross Boarding 
 School for Girls, since March 1880, and has proved herself an 
 excellent Superintendent. It is no fault of hers that her scholars 
 do not yet number more than 17, for there are many causes 
 operating against the School ; she has, however, the promise of 
 six more on the 1st of January. 
 
 The Rev. Chas. E. Groser has been very successful in working 
 up the Parochial School at Wailuku, which fell very low in 
 numbers after it was given up by Mr. W. A. Swan, at the time of 
 his return to England, three years ago, for a course of study at 
 St. Augustine's College, Canterbury. It is now the policy of the 
 Board of Education to refuse all aid to what they are pleased to 
 call "Sectarian" Schools, and to establish Government English 
 Schools throughout the Islands. It is therefore worthy of notice 
 that, in spite of a new Government School in Wailuku, Mr. 
 Groser has a School which in point of numbers stands only a few 
 below the Government School, and is preferred to it by the 
 better-to-do class of people, both native and foreign. 
 
 Nearly all the foreign families in this part of Maui being 
 Congregationalists, and connected with the American Missionaries, 
 Church progress must necessarily be slow. 
 
 On Hawaii, Mr. and Mrs. Davis are now receiving quite a 
 number of boarders in the Parsonage at South Kona, and have a 
 School of Girls nearly equal to St. Cross. The Church and its 
 surroundings continue a model of neatness. Mr. F. C. Lambert, 
 who has returned from a visit to Kealekekua Bay in his yacht 
 '' Wanderer," in order to erect a tombstone to his son who is 
 buried in our Churchyard, was charmed with the beauty of the 
 place and the care bestowed upon it. 
 
 /^\
 
 By means of the little School at Napoopoo, under Mr. Sala, 
 where Mr. Davis also holds Service, the children of the native 
 population on the historic Bay are being brought under Church 
 instruction. 
 
 We ought to have Clergy now in three districts on Hawaii, in 
 which there are very flourishing Sugar plantations j Kau, 
 Hamakua, and Kohala. Both in Kau and Hamakua we have a 
 site ready. Kohala has for years supported a Congregationalist 
 Minister, but there are a number of Church people in the district- 
 who seem now more disposed to make an effort to maintain a Clergy- 
 man of their own. In all these districts I found fair congregations 
 in a recent tour of the Island, and administered the Holy 
 Communion in each to a small band of Communicants. 
 
 One event I must not omit to mention, — the marriage of my 
 sister to the Eev. R. Wainwright, on October 18th, which has 
 deprived me of the help and companionship and administrative 
 ability of one who, for nine and a half years, has managed the 
 domestic department of my house and School. My loss is not, 
 however, a loss to the Mission. The Church is now represented 
 on the Island of Kauai, on which I have hitherto sought in vain 
 to obtain a footing for it ; and what should be most encouraging 
 to our kind supporters at home, is, that the Mission at Kapaa 
 under Mr. Wainwright will be self-supporting ; and if we can 
 establish Missions at the points on Hawaii above mentioned, I 
 hope they will be self-supporting also. 
 
 My own School in Honolulu keeps up its position. It is now 
 conducted by the Revs. H. F. E. Whalley and W. A. Swan, who 
 came in the summer from St. Augustine's College, Canterbury, 
 and were ordained on their arrival. 
 
 Commending the work that is being done to your prayers, and 
 with grateful acknowledgments of the assistance received from 
 friends known and unknown. 
 
 Believe me. 
 
 Affectionately yours, 
 
 ALFRED HONOLULU.

 My Lords and Gentlemen, 
 
 I regret to be under the necessity of troubling you on 
 a subject, which to many of those whom I address, will be, 
 at least in its commercial aspect, foreign to their ordinary 
 considerations. Still, as it is one that touches the honour of 
 the Corporation you represent, I feel sure you will give to it 
 the attention it deserves. It affects you as PubHshers (jointly 
 with the University of Cambridge,) of the ''Revised Version 
 of the New Testament." 
 
 In the Prospectus and Advertisements issued, (I print 
 one of these Advertisements in fac simile,) the date of 
 pubUcation was stated to be the 17th of May. In the case of 
 a volume of such universal interest the day of issue was prop- 
 erly fixed and intimated early. Being fixed, on authority so 
 eminent, it was naturally accepted as final.
