REVIVAL AT WAILUKU,
IN THE SAr^DWTCH ISLAND.
The Rev. Mr. Armstrong, one of the
missionaries of the American Boar J, who
is 8tatione<l at Wailuku, on the island of
Maui, in a lettter dated on the 4tli of August
last, gives the following account of the
recent religious reformation at that station.
As the fruits of this reformation he had received
to the church, within twelve months,
839 persons, making the whole number
869; and the ?iumberof the congregation
had so much increased, that the old meetting.house,
40 feet by 92, was too small to
accommodate them, and the people had undertaken
to build a new house, of stone, 50
feet by 100, with a gallery. The number
of attendants on public worship on the Sabbath
was usually about 1800, and frequently
2500.
Shortly after our return from the general
meeting in June cf last year, it was evident
that our people had a M hearing ear." A
r : 1 : 1
sp.ru a inquiry anu uicrcusuu ancunuu
were manifest. Meetings began to be very
full and solemn; But the imptessions, so
far as I could judge, were not so deep and !
positive as I wished to see. There was !
more wakeful attention than real concern j
for the soul. Things continued in much
the same state, with perhaps a little increase
of feeling, until about the first of December,
when prospects began to brighten. An increase
of interest, and especially of feeling,
was observed in our day.break nvetings,
and in private conversation. New Year's
day was observed as a day of fasting and
prayer, by many out of, as well as those '
in, the church. It was a day of much solem-1
nity and much feeling. AU seemed to have
but ono mind, viz. an opprcrsive sense of
guilt, in view ofthe amazing mercy of God
in Christ Jesus. Neglected, despised, rejected
mercy was the whole topic. Some
members ofthe church of good character
began to quake, and two of our oldest and
best members proposed in public to with,
draw from the church and absent them,
selves from the approaching communion.
One of them throwing himself back upon ;
his seat, and with a countenance full ofdes- J
pair, said, MI have no religion, and the '
whole population might as well go to the
Lord's table as I."
Prayer now began to be offered with
much fervency, and often with strong cry>
ing and tears, and the work from this tim *
assumed a decided character. Unti. now,
we were hoping for a revival, but now we
felt that we were in the midst of one. We
had heretofore held our morning meetings
in a large school house, which will hold
ubout four hundred persons ; but we were
now obl ged to go to the meeting-house ir
order to get room. The meetings were
opened as soon as I could see to read a
hymn, and many of them were the most
solemn and interesting that I ever witnessed.
Though no measures were taken to excite
the feelings, aside from a simple declaration
of the truth, the house was often a scene of
sighing and weeping. Finding the hearts
of the people so tender, I thought it best
not to aim at exciting the animal feelings,
which are easily roused among the natives,
and as quickly vanish ; but I rather sought
to impart correct conceptions of the char,
acter of God, the nature of sin, the plan of
salvation, the worh of the Sp rit, the nature
of true religion, etc. But the topic which I
most of all insisted nnnn was the sin and
danger of rejecting an offered Savior. The
truths contained in such passages as these,
he that believeth not is condemned already
41 If any man love not the Lord JeSUS
Christ let him be anathema, maranatha,"
and the like, seemed to me to be the most
efficacious in breaking the heart and hum.
bling the sinner.
During the last week in January we held
a series of meetings, of six days' continuance,
in which I was assisted by Messrs.
Green and Andrews. A great crowd attended,
and a very deep impression was
made. Some hundreds manifested con*
cern for their eternal welfare, and quite a
number still appear te have been savingly
benefitted. After this meeting I gave myself
wholly up to preaching, and conversing
with the anxious and inquiring. The ex.
citement shortly became general and em.
braced ail ages and classes. The children
in the schools partook largely in the common
feeling and quite a number, perhaps
over a hundred, yet appear well as Chris,
tians ; although not over half that number
have been baptised as converts.
In February and March I had a series
of meetings at the two out.stations, which
? T O - .
were attended by thousands, and results,
similar to those above mentioned, followed
especially at Haiku. By the first of April,
the whole population around us was under
deep excitement; many, perhaps the ma.
jority, were not actuated by any real con.
cern for their souls, but were moved because
others were ; and it is feared they will re*
lapse again into their former stale of stupidity.
Time only can tell how many
have been born of the Spirit and raised to
newness of life. Hundreds still profess to
be, and appear to be, resolved on following
the Lamb of God , but the general excite,
merit has subsided. Meetings are well attended,
but that deep solemnity and wake*
fut interest which, a few months ago, rested
upon the assemblies, has passed away in a
great measure.
As to measures, new or old, I have used
none or allowed none to be used, except
calling upon those who had chosen Christ to
separate themselves,in order to be instructed
in classes and be carefully watched over so
as to learn what manner of spirit they are
of. I keep a book by me, in which I write
the name of every individual who appears
to be serious, and then I class tbem by nei.
bcrhoods or villages, and meet them every
week for instruction, conversation, prayer,
&c. When I am satisfied with any one, I
baptize him forthwith, i have now some
hundreds in these classes, and of many there
ishopo that they have experienced the grace
I have differed widely in my cotnrse from
iOHM of my brethren. As a faithful watch.
fWn, I could not, in the present state of so
ciety her*1, receive persons to tho commun.
ion of the church, without pretty satisfactory
evidence of their piety, and to have
this evidence more time is necessary than
we have yet had in the revival.
S jme reason for caution in this solemn
business I will here state. 1. The natives
are very excitable on any subject; and in
the present state of society especially so on
the subject of religion. 2. In a number of
instances the fairest appearances are found
connected with the indulgence of secret in.
iquity. This is not uncommon among nativ?
s. 3 If they are real converts they will
not be likely to full away by being looked,
at a few months, especially if they enjoy
constant instruction. 4. The history of excitement
in these islands is calculated to
produce caution. 5 A corrupt church is
greatly to be dreaded and to bo avoided if
! possible.
In this revival I would acknowledge with
devout grnti ude the assistance I have received
from several native church members,
especially Bartiineus, whose labors have
been signally blessed, as 'any one would
suppose, who knows him. Some young men
in the church have been filled with the Spiiit,
and would at times plead with sinners to be
reconciled to God, as they would plead for
their lives.
I might mention aiso mat mi. uiwi,
the female seminary, has assisted me much,
although laboring almost exclusively in a
separate sphere. The seminary has been
blessed. Twelve of the young misses are
now members of the church, and others will,
I hope, soon be.
On the whole, the last has been a blessed
year. It has been a year of tho right hand
of the Lord among us?a year of toil and
yet of enjoyment. Blessed be the Lord our
God forever. Let heaven and earth praise j
him. Let the churches rejoice and take
courage. They are now paid for all the (
money they have expended on this nation, ,
with more than compound interest. i
Extract cf a letter from Rev. Mr. Coan, !
Missionary of tho American Board. ,
On the 19:h of March, I wrote you a i
somewhat full account of the work of God's
Spirit among this people. Since then, it has
advanced without interrup1ion, and with un.
abated energy ; and now while I write, tho
waves of salvation roil deep and broad over
this field. The Spirit of the Highest
breathes upon the slain They breathe?
ih?*y live?they stand up an army to praise
the Lord. Every day gives us fresh de.
monstrations that God has awaked to our
help, and that this is his work.
Since t last wrote to you, I have been
almost constantly engaged in preaching.trav- ]
elling among the people, and examining can- i
d dates for the church. I usually preach 1
from seven to twenty times a week, and the
people are still eager to hear. A large 1
congiegation can be collected here on the
shortest notice, and at almost any time of '
day or night. Our congregation at tho stac.?
a
tion has sometimes sweuea to uvc, si*, uuu
even to seven thousand. 44 Who are these
that flv as a cloud and as doves to their win
dows Christ rides gloriously in the
chariot of salvation. His arrows are in the
hearts of his enemies. There is a great j
quaking among sinners through this fie.d. ]
During a recent tour through Hilo and Pu. i
na, in which Mr# W. accompanied me, the
samo general tokens of the divine presence
were manifested as I dest ribed on a former J
occasion. The gospel was every where
the power of God unto salvation. It was
like the fire and the hammer. The most <
hardened sinners were melted and broken i
under it. Many, who on a former tour re- I
mained in their houses,or hid themselves in
* * ? - t?_L? _T ai> K nnttj
tho jungle 10 avoiu ine ugui ut uu >,
came out of their lurking places, and sub.
mitted with tears to the Lord Jesus.
In my last, I wrote to you that on the |
first Sabbath in January, 1833,140 were re.
ceived into this church, and that 502 more
were added on the first Sabbath in March.
On the first Sabbath in July 1,705 were
taptizedand received to the communion
and fellowship of the church. This was a
great, and solemn, and glorious day. A
scene never to be forgotton. I was alone
with my family at the station at that time;
my beloved associates, Messrs. L. and W.
having gone to Oahu. Those 1705 I bap.
tized in one afternoon, and on the same oc.
casion, broke bread to about 2,400 communicants.
In selecting and examining the
1705 candidates, I spent much time and
care, attended with many prayers and tears.
I met them all personally, fivo or six times,
besides preaching to them often collectively.
During tours which I made in Hilo and Puna,
in the months of July and August, I baptized
and received to the fellowship of the
church, 452 individuals. These were
chiefly the aged, tho sick, and the infirm,
who had for a considerable time given evi.
dence of regeneration, but who were too
feeble to come to the station. For the
consolaiion of these and other aged and sick
disciples, I udministered the Lord's Supper
at seveial dif? rent places through which I
passed. At our communion season on
the first Sabbath of the present month, (Sep.
tember,) 618 individuals were added to the
church, making in ail, 3,381 souls who
have been received to this communion on
profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
! since the first of January, 1838. The
j whole number now in communion with this
church, is about 3,500. About 400 of these
am children between five nnd fifteen years
old.
Five hundred candidates now stand pro.
pounded for our next communion, and I am
now spending about two days every week
in the selection and examination of hopeful
converts, of whom there are yet multitudes
not brought into the church. Truly Zion
here is made to enlarge the place of her tent
and to spread forth her curtains.
Warnings?To men who commit their
eternity to the chance of a life which any
ono of ten thausand accidents may, the
next moment, bring to an end; who lie
down securely on beds which they may
change that night for couches of fire, and
act as if they alone (ofall men living,) had
made a covenant with hell, and could muz.
zle the jaws of the grave till they were them,
selves disposed to enter jt : to fools like
these what argument can be scccessfully
offered ? I know no course but to alarm
their instinctive fears with examples of early
and sudden mortality : to tell them how
such an one went to his bed a healthy and
prosperous man, on whose countenance
the shadow of death was dark in the morn,
ing ; howtho marriage feast was spread in
such a house, and the young bride passed
to her chamber, and knew not that the mirth i
of her friends would soon be changed into I
sorrow over her grave ; of sucli a neighbor /
who went forth to the gate of the city, and
the crowd trod on him tiiat he died ; of
these men slain by robbers ; of those swallowed
up by the sea ; of some that fell victims
to the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
and others whom a fly, a grapestone,
a ffnt in the path, or a tile from the house,
top took away in the morning of their lives,
and the middle of their schemes, and the
heat of their blood and their trangressions,
without a day, an hour, a moment for reflection
or for prayer.? Bishop Heber*
RELICS.
A traveller on the Continent, visiting a
cathedral, was shewn by the sacristan, among
other marvels, a dirty opaque glass
phial. After eyeing it for some time, th?
traveller said, 44 Do you call this a relic ?
Why, it is empty." Empty," retorted
the sacristan, indignantly," Sir, it contains
some of the darkness that Moses spread
over the land of Egypt."

ROCKINGHAM
Female Institute.
THE increased tharo of public attention
which the subject of Female Education has
recently received, and tho lively interest which is
egioning to be felt in its behalf are encouraging
Bigns of future improvement. The System which
has long obtained in our country, it is to be regret,
ted, is radically defective in that almost exclusive
attention is paid to the ornamental to the neglect
of that which is of primary importance. This
desideratum, it has been the effort of Mrs. Green,
the principal of the Rockingham Female Institute
to supply ; and the result of the recent exaznina.
tion which we had the pleasure of attending,
J roves that it was uot without success. In this
nstitution the culture of the mind is the cardinal
object of attention ; and greater importance is
attached to the formation of habits of close
thought and protracted mental effort by which
the mind is endued with strength, vigour and
elasticity, than to any given amount of crude
information garnered up in tho "store house of
memory."
Tho committee having attended the recent examination,
tako pleasure in expressing the satis,
faction thev felt in witnessing the interesting
exercises. We feel no hesitancy in pronouncing
it equal, if not superior, to any examination of
the kind we ever before witnessed; and tne
readiness and accuracy with which answers wero
given to the questions propounded, and the
promptness and facility with which sections and
chapters of difficult t?xt.bcoks were analized, did
honour totho pupils and reflected credit on their
worthy instructress.
On the Evening of the same day we wero
highly entertained with the performances of the
young ladies on the Piano Forte and Guitar; and
though we are not professed connoisseurs, the
exhibition, we think, indicated that the performers
correctly understood the true principles of
Musick. The exercises closed and we retired to
our respective places of abode, after having
passed a highly interesting day.
The health and society of our village render it
a very desirable location for a female Institution ;
and when we add to this, the competencyjof the
principal and assistant, the committ o take the
pleasure in recommending the Rockingham Fe.
male Institute to the liberal patronage of an intelligent
public.

THE present number closes the first volume
of the Silk Grower, and we now take the
opportunity to return our thanks to those kind
friends who have so liberally patronized us. The
success of the work has exceeded our most san.
guine expectations, and will cause Us to Ep&re
no la~or or expense whatever to make the SECOND
VOLUME interesting to the SILK
GROWER and the FARMER.

French translator, moro than
1000 pages of New Treatises upon
The Silk Worm and the Sugar Beet,

mulgated through our pages. In fact all that we
can do to disseminata practical knowledge as to
the silk business shall be done.
In beginning a New Volume, we are solicit,

knowledge of the Silk Culture, and the growing
of the Legitimate Morus Multicau'is tree, will be
persuaded to send u* their subscriptions at once,
that they may secure the work from the commencement
of the number just about to be pub.
lished. The year's subscriptions to the first
volume will cease with the number now sent,
and we look with confidence for a renewal of the
same immediately, as there is a progressive in.
terest in the business which makes it requisite
that our readers should become acquainted with
the important results of practice and experience
which we have to lay before them. The present
