Among the objects of the late Fair for the
benefit of the Bethel, started by the ladies of
the choir and so generously patronised by
the community, was the purchase of a new
collection of Hymns and Music for public
worship. After examining various collections, the committee finally decided upon
the one having the following title-page :
Bethel Repaired and Re-painted.

It moy be said of the Bethel in Honolulu,
the same as was said of the Temple at Jerus ilein, " Forty aod six years was this temple
in building." The Bethel was dedicated as
a house for public worship in November,
1833—forty-six years ago. During nearly
one-half a century it has been opened nearly
■every Sabbath for public worship, seats free;
hence, for all necessary repairs and other
expenses appeals have been made to the
public, and uniformly a generous response
has been made. It has long been apparent
that some repairs were needed. The recent
expenditures amount to a little over 51,200,

This book of Hymns and Music has met
the approval of a very large number of
churches in the United States It has a
wide circulation among both Presbyterian
and Congregational churches. It contains
1411 hymns and 450 tunes and chants.
The names of the authors are inserted, and
the date when thgy lived. There are very
many reasons apparent for regarding this
collection as most admirably suited for the
purposes of worship in the sanctuary.
Aside from its uses as an aid to public
worship, we commend the book as a beautiful collection of sacred hymns for private
reading. A good hymn-book is a full storehouse of lyric poetry, in which the English
language is now so remarkably choice and
rich. Some of the hymns of other ages and
other languages have been admirably translated and reproduced in our age and language. Hymns of the Middle Ages, hymns
from Germany and France and other lands,
now delight the modern lover of spiritual
songs. Many, very many, are to be found

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 34
WALKS ABOUT BERLIN.
A recent French writer has said of Berlin:
is a city which presents an appearance
"ofItstrength
and grandeur; has broad streets;
long lines of houses, impressing one more by
their size than by their beauty; in no way
adapted to please one. Moreover, no effort
is ever made to interest one. Here there is
but one object, to instruct and to command.
Here they know only two elements of civilization, the army and the university, science
and war, the discipline of the school and the
discipline of the regiment. If Munich and
Dresden are the Museums of Germany, then
is Berlin the Arsenal!" This 1s a Frenchman's description of the Prussian Capital,
and one against which much might be said.
And yet there is some truth, I am forced to
confess, in it; though with every advancing
year of the Empire this will be less the case.
1 am made aware of the lack of the poetic
and picturesque elements in the city when I
take my daily walk. The city is in memories, too, military. There are few of those
delightful nooks which one finds in many
other cities, where one may enter into the
eloquent silence of the past; few shrines
before which one may bend, forgetful of all
else, while " far off the noises of the world
retreat." We have no Westminster Abbey,
with its " Poet's Corner;" no Pere Lachaise,
that silent city of the silent dead; there are
not here the thousand enticing rambles of
Old Kome on the Tiber, or Florence on the
silver Arno. Still there are some points
which one seeks, with willing feet, in the
city and suburbs, connected with the names
and memories of men who, through especial
beauty of life, or through exceptional genius,
which they have known wisely to use, have
now a distinguished place in the history of
their race. I can scarcely think now of
speaking of more than one or two of these,
leaving the others, perhaps, for other rambling day*, and appreciative moods. Potsdam is. as you know, a little world of Historical and Biographical interest. The house
where Lessing lived—one of the most cherished names in German literature—still
stands in Berlin, where he wrote his ever
American Misister Resident, on " Ohio
Men in the Sasdwich Inlands." Something
similar and verr readable might be written
about " New York Men," « Massachusetts

his wife (whom he so tenderly loved, and
whom he found waiting for him, a girlbride, on his return from his long journey

lengthen the list.
Let me, however, for this time, ask you to

to be seen.
MENDELSSOHN."
One ot the sacred spots of Berlin is the
quiet, shadowy cemetery where Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is buried. For those
"THE GRAVE OF
who have, in any slight degree, a taste for
music, it would have a certain interest; but
for those who have felt and feel, not alone
in the stimulating atmosphere of the concert
hall, but also in the quiet of their home-lite,
in that inner world of personal heart-experience, the ennobling, elevating, purifying
influence of this great master in the realm
of music, it becomes, indeed, holy ground.
Thisquaint, old-fashioned Trinity Cemetery,
JJreifaitigkeifs Kirchhof, lies now almost
in the midst of the great working, restless
city. Only a few yeara ago it lay in the
out-skirts of the capital, but since the coming
in of the empire the city has marched with
giant strides in all directions, so that points,
which were once even in the memory of
those who are still children, like distant
out-posts in the desert of the Branderbourg
sands, have been brought within the limits
of civilization. So that this little grave yard,
this resting-place of the " blessed dead," in
the midst of the noise, business and turmoil,
touches one with its tender hush and beauty,
like the sight of a lifted cross by the dusty
way-side, or the solemn melody of chimes
at noon-time, floating far out above the roar
and confusion of the street below. It is near
one of the old "Gates" of the city that,
looking in the direction of Halle, also by its
now out-grown name, reminding one of the
early history of the Prussian Capital. I
scarcely think you would find the grave
we are seeking alone, so hidden away under
the drooping trees does it lie. The kindly
old keeper of the cemetery led me to it one
day, and since then, I think, few have learned
the way to it better than I, so that I feel as
it were a sort of tender right and privilege
in bringing others there. There is nothing
at all pretentious in the way of a monument
to distinguish it from hundreds of other
graves which lie on every side. It is in one
ef the shadowest parts of the inclosure. Ash
trees, wilh their long, drooping, graceful
branches, encircle and shield it. Ivy, of
most beautiful and luxuriant growth, has
thrown a verdant mantle over the rising
mound, with its never changing freshness in
winter and summer, a fitting type of the
fame of him who was laid away here to rest,
when his life-work was ended. The white
marble slab which stands at the head of the
grave tells us much in a few plain words;
its two sculptured dates, speaking so eloquently ! Dead, before he had, as it were,
reached tbe prime of his manhood; his work
completed, wh%n so many are realizing, for
the first time, what the meaning of life and
labor is; his epitaph written in letters which

are never to fade at less than forty years of
age ! Surely, those whom " the gods love,
die young." Chopin died with a broken
heart before he was forty. Euber had only
reached that age. Schubert finished his
melodious mission just as he was entering
the thirties. Mozart's triumphant career
was ended at thirty-five.
I recall with especial distinctness, one
visit I made in the early summer to the
grave of Mendelssohn. It was just at the
passing of the day into evening. The heavy
rain clouds, which had gathered and gloomed
through the dny, had broken in plentiful
showers of rain. The sun had appeared
again, in saving adieu, and the world stood
transfigured in a blaze of diamonds. The
cemetery was fragrant as a garden in spring;
the moist and clinging vines, the verdant
festoons and draperies of ivy, the opening
roses, myrtles and violets, making a bright
and pleasing picture. A German cemetery
has a certain indescribable charm, particularly this one. where Mendelssohn sleeps.
There is a quaint, hushed gentleness and
thoughtfulness in the arrangements of the
flowers and wreaths; a world of poetry in
the inscriptions and texts on the stones
among the flowers which mark the graves;
in that spirit of love; in that anticipation of
meeting and re-union which lights and glorifies the oft repeated Auf wieder sehenThe air of the twilight seemed suffused with
peace; musical with the melody of some

risen from the quiet grave of the great musician.—At least it was a pleasing fancy to
cherish, that the spirit of the master was
with us still.
THE MENDELSSOHN FAMILY.
A thoughtful writer and appreciative lover
of Mozart has said, " To open Mozart's letters is like opening a painted tomb." These
words might, with equal appropriatness, be
applied to a series of sketches which have
very recently appeared in Germany in book
form, under the title of " Dei Mendelssohn
Fatnilei." These are made up largely of
the letters of the family and extracts from
their journals, and together form a whole of
such rare and perfect beauty, a glimpse as
it were into the very heart-life of one of the
most remarkable and gifted families which
Germany has ever produced, that it is
scarcely to be wondered at that the book is
one of the most popular of the year, especially
in Berlin, where the family mostly lived. I
wish it might be possible for me to give you
something of an idea of the rharm, the wonderful fascination of these sketches, and yet
this is so subtle, so inseparable a part of every
page and chapter, that in endeavoring to do
anything of the kind I should be forced in
the end to transcribe for you the whole work.
The name Mendelssohn is especially known
outside of Germany through the illustrious
musician and composer, of whom we have
spoken above. Hut here he is but one,
although perhaps the most famous of a race
»o highly gifted, so splendidly endowed, that
in rising from the perusal of these eloquent
pages, I feel to join most warmly in that enthusiastic exclamation recently made by one
who had read the book, A good Burger
Familei" —in the fullest, grandest sense of
the words,
A right Princely Race f
*
"
"
The opening pages of these biographies takes
us far back into the first part of the preceding century —to the well-known founder of
the present family, the philosopher, Moses
Mendelssohn, born in 1729. And what a
record has this one member of the family
left behind him ! Enough to wreath the
name with unfading laurels. Coming in
early youth to Berlin, well-nigh pennyless,
born of a race hated, and condemned to walk
through life the object of Christian scorn
and ridicule, an outcast Jew, painfully deformed in person, and yet rising in time to
the topmost heigths of philosophical attainment, heralded as a second Moses, sent to
plead for his oppressed people from the land
of their bitter bondage, the revered and tenderly loved friend of the wisest, and greatest
and most honored men of his century.
Surely, this is a metamorphosis, such as is
rarely seen ! Moses Mendelssohn will always hold a unique position in history. He
was one of the first and foremost in his efforts
to raise his nice, sunk for centuries in an almost, apathetic ignorance, who were wanderers indeed on the face of the earth, from
whom the so-called Christian race shrank as
before the murderer's mark on the brow of
a banished Cain. The Jews of our time
owe to him more than to any one else the
liberty which they to-day possess. He was
the chosen friend of the great Lessing. His
home, humble and plain, became the rallying point of great souls in those fierce intellectual conflicts which agitated Germany
during the last century. He was the
Socrates of his age. His treatise on The
"
Immortality of the Soul" will ever hold a
plice among the Classics of Literature. The
iustre which he imparted to the family name
has been in no way dimmed in succeeding
generations. One son of the Philosopher
became the founder of the celebrated Mendelssohn Banking House, which still enjoys
a European reputation. A daughter became
the wife of Freiderick yon Schlegel, and was
distinguished for her literary activity. A
son of hers, by a previous marriage, Philip
Veit, was a well-known name among the artists of Germany. A grandson of Moses,
Alexander Mendelssohn Bertholdy, was the
father of a distinguished family. His son,
Felix, is known as one of the most illustrious musical composers of this country to all
the world. His eldest daughter, Fanny,
composer and pianist, was one of the most
distinguished female musicians who has ever
lived. She was married to William Hensel,
ihe distinguished artist and painter, truly, a
noble pair ! Still another daughter, Rebecca, who had the training of a lady of the Renaissance, reading Plato and Homer with
ease in the original, had for husband Professor Dirichlet, one of the first mathematicians
of modern times. These are the names of
the most distinguished of the family. There
are others who probably amid less brilliant
surroundings would have attained to a distinguished name, as we have read of no one
in the wide circle of relationship who was
not possessed of superior mental endowments. It can readily be understood that a
work which introduces one to the inner life
of such a family group is absorbingly interesting. One moves in the choicest of company, that of the great spirits of the age, in
the midst of intense intellectual and artistic
�111
I: hRI X \
activity. Circumstances favored the growth
iind development of the family. Wealth
flowed in upon them, their social position
was that of the highest, feted by all the
crowned heads of Europe. Surely, the
times had changed since Moses, the despised
Jewish boy, speaking sad mixture of Hebrew
and low German, entered Berlin for the first
time ! But more beautiful than all else is
the spirit of tenderest, most devoted love
which animated these pages. The family
bond was never broken, even through difference of religious creed. Some adhered to
their Jewish faith and ritual; others became
earnest Protestant Christians, notably Felix,
to whom we owe some of the most splendid
creations in the whole range of Christian
music; and one member of the family became an ardent Roman Catholic. The
scene shifts in these pages from one land to
another. Wo have delightful letters, descriptive, humorous, tenderly loving from
England, from France, from Switzerland,
from Belgium, from Italy. What an unending picture opens before us ;
We have spirited sketches drawn from
life of Queen Victoria, Freiderick Wilhelm
IV, Prince Albert, Goethe, Humboldt, Cornelius, Imniennann and Heine, Cherubini,
and Spontini, Thorwaldsen, Vernet. and a
host of others. We are behind the scenes.
We meet the great actors of the day, off the
stage, and learn to know them as men and
women. We listen with bated breath to the
production of some great musical work
awaiting the world's verdict, whose composition we have followed step by step. We
hear the tumult of applause, share in the
showered laurels, and have a place in the
little family circle which gathers with joyful
tears and smiles, to rejoice together in the
stillness of home.
The Mendelssohn House formed one of
the most famous centers of Berlin life; all
that was distinguished in science or letters
or music found here a place. But it is ever
about the life and work of Felix that the interest of the reader especially centers. One
of his biographers has said, "The early
death of Mendelssohn like that of Raphael
threw all Europe into mourning." As great
as his musical genius was the wonderful
beauty and purity of his personal character
and life, engaging and attracting all who
came at all within the range of his personal
influence. This is especially illustrated in
the " Letters " before us, those written by
him to his father and mother, and sisters—
especially that marvelously gifted sister
Fanny. His life was a busy and splendidly
prolific one; one which early ended, it is
true, but perfectly rounded out. In England,
he was especially loved; and his music is
almost as well known abroad as at home.
Among his most important works are the
exquisite " Songs without words;" the
music to the " Midsummer Night's Dream;"
the orations of " Paulus and Elijah,'—two
of the finest musical productions of any age;
the music to " Antigone."
It is with difficulty that I force myself to
close my sketch of this remarkable family;
so singularly have they fascinated me. Such
lives are the glory of the human r«ce; a
stimulus to all to aspire, more and more, to
the "good, the true and the beautiful." The
name of Mendelssohn is still honorably

end of that time with treasures of infinitely
more worth to the world than the gold and
diamonds which laded the galleons of the early Spanish discoverers. "Enjoying the favor
of the King of Prussia, he was sent on various important missions'which enabled him
to extend his investigations, net alone to
Europe, but also as far »s Siberia, the Chinese Borderlands and other remote regions.
Into these important stores of personal discovery and investigation, he threw the strong,
clear light of ■ his own marvellous intellect,
und the result was the most famous of his
works, one of the most remarkable books of
all time—the world celebrated Cosmos. It
would be unwise here, within the limits of
this brief sketch, to attempt anything like a
description of his manifold contributions to
literature and science. The whole universe
furnished him materials for his work, as we,
read the record of his life; he rises before us
as a Titan intellect. He was celebrated as
Philosopher, as Geographer, National Economist, Historian, Philologist; acquainted
with the literature of every land—of the Old
and New World, of the Occident and Orient;
one who, as has been well said, was to his
age what Aristotle and Leibnitz were to
theirs. He lived to a ripe old age, retaining
in advanced years a singularly brilliant and
active intellectual life. For years he was
one of the celebrities of the Prussian Capital, whom it was regarded as an especial
honor to see. The picture of his genial,
smiling and benevolent face, is still fresh in
the memory of the Berliners.
The hpuse where he lived in the Oranienburger-Strasse, where he lived for so many
years, surrounded byhis books, and in the
company of his own great thoughts, is now
marked by a simple marble slab with his
name. After the long journeys of his early
manhood and the herculean intellectual efforts of his later life, his body rests side by
side with that of his brother in the hush and
seclusion of Tegel, while over them both the
solemn cypresses keep watch and ward.
These great souls have passed within that
mystery where no human eye can penetrate,
but where we may hope that they have entered upon the fullness of that Eternal Life,
for which their earthly years were but the
preparation.

Flowers from an Unknown Friend.
While absent from home a few evenings
since, some unknown friend quietly left on
our centre table a bouquet of beautiful flowers. It is pleasant to feel that one has
friends who will glean from their own flower-beds to adorn your dwelling. We
hastened to place them in a vase of water,
and the following morning they were fresh
and beautiful. We opened our doors and
looked out upon a bright world of beauty,
made so by an abundance of trees, vines,
ferns, shrubbery and flowers—all created by
the Hand of an Unseen Friend. A morning shower added fresh loveliness to the
bright aspect of surrounding nature, for
myriads of sparkling rain-drops glistened
like diamonds among the leaves and foliage.
We could not but admire how wonderfully
and marvelously material nature reflected
God's handiwork. While the outer-world
contained such undubitable manifestations
of God's wisdom and providence, our
thoughts were most naturally elevated to a
higher display of God's agency, for on open

Memohials of
Emily Bliss Gould,
of Rome. By Leonard Woolsey Bacon.
New York:
Anson D. F. Randolph & Co., 900,
Broadway.
On opening a box of books from the publishers of this volume, we found several new
books intended for the Editor. Among
them we find the beautiful tribute of Rev.
Dr. Bacon, now of Norwich, Ct„ and formerly of Geneva, Switzerland, to the memory of Mrs. Gould, whose labors among the
orphan children of Rome have rendered her
name dear to all friends of humanity in
Europe and America. Long has the reading public been made familiar with her work
by means of her admirable letters as published in the N. Y. Observer and other
papers. This volume is a most charming
sketch of her life, penned by Dr. Bacon in
his happiest moments of authorship, inspired
by the contemplation of the life of a truly
noble Christian woman. Attached to the
volume is a striking photograph of the lady,
which presents us a most dignified and winning countenance. With such a face and
elegant address, accompanied by a most
finished education and the refinement acquired by long intercourse among the choicaccidentally."

chance, accident or fate, but of order, beauty

The following fable, by one of the Beecher family—Charles—we think, is very suggestive, which we copy from the Advance :
" Many years ago a great Eastern philosopher made a large mirror, in a beautiful
frame, and hung it up in his parlor. A dog
went before it, and ruffled up his hair,
growled and showed his teeth. The cat
came in, and immediately went and looked
behind to find the other cat. A simpleton
came in, and seeing the mirror, began to
congratulate the artist on his good luck.
■ What a happy accident!' said he. ' Now
you can see how you look, and can shave
without cutting your face.' ' Friend,' said
the artist, 'it was not an accident. It was
to see my face in it that I made it.'
" Moral: Tlte mirror is material nature that reflects its Maker. The simpleton is he who thinks the Maker made it so

When the Lord makes up His jewels,
Choosing gems ol every hue,
Pearls and diamonds, rubies, sapphires,
Showing flawless through and through,
Could I he the least among them,
Smallest gem that love could see.
And IIin eye detect the brightness,
That would be enough for me.

With an equal luster glow.

For the gem pcrlected so.
Thus I wait the royal pleasure,

On the gem, though amall it be.
All I ask is strength to bear it.

The Life and Letters of Frances, Baroness Bunsen. By Augustus J. C.
Hare. New York: G. Koutledge &
Sons, and Anson D. F. Eandolph & Co.
1879.
Some years ago we read " Memorials of
a Quiet Life," by the same author. That
volume introduced the reader to a most
choice circle ol Christians in the clerical
and higher walks of English society. The
volume now under review is substantially
the same kind of a book, but the range of
characters noticed introduces the reader to
a still wider circle of the very choicest
European Christian society. The life of
Baroness Bunsen was spent in Wales,
England, Italy, Germany and Switzerland
Her companions were Emperors, Kings,
ambassadors and literary men and women
who irToved in the very highest circle of
European society. She was the honored
guest of Queen Victoria and the Emperor of
Germany. Her husband was the renowned
historian and Egyptian scholar, the Ambassador of Germany at Borne and in Lsmlon.
It is not to the public career of this noble

NOVEMBER,
thrsugh the thousand pages of this volume
it is most instructive to trace out the various
links connecting families in England and
Germany. Did our limits allow, we could
add much in commending this volume to
the perusal of the public.
Her range of reading was extensive, and
her criticisms upon literary and theological
books eminently thoughtful and practical.
She closes a notice of Buckle's book on
!' Civilization," wherein he endeavors, from
a wide range of historical research, lo establish the principle of atheism, with this paragraph from page 399 :
" The reply to nil attempts to stigmatize
the religion of Christ as the cause of evil is
unanswerable, as the fact is and remains,
that the faith which causes sin and misery
is not the faith of Christ, but a system falsely so called, which the greatest foes of the
Gospel cannot deny, if ever they can be
brought to comprehend what is the Gospel
and what the error of man presuming to interpret the word of God."
On the 24th of May, 1870, she thus
writes one of her sons—on page 410—referring to the unseen world, to which her husband had taken his departure :
" In the regions to which your dear father
has attained there is fulness of joy. fulness
of work, fulness of object, forthe fitted faculties, and the contributions of earth, however
precious here, would have the flavor of sorrow, even if they could reach the abode of
blessedness. And yet there are two stanzas
of a hymn which I found written out in
Theodora's hand—l know not whence copied
—which strike my feelings with the melody
of truth :

THIS PACK IS
Edited by a Committee of tUc Y. M. C. A.
It is with feelings of sadness thst we have
of one of osr most valued members, William F. Damon. —Born
in Honolulu, Funahou early claimed him as
a pupil; and here the greater part of his
to record the death
education was received.
Five years ago he went to Minneapolis,
and there, for a year, attended a Mercantile
College. The year following he spent as a
member of the Massachusetts Agricultural
College nt Amherst, and the love and respect
of his associates, at both these institutions,
.followed him when he returned to his home
here in Honelulu. For tho past three years
office duties, in the employ of E. 0. Hall &
Son, occupied his attention till his late sickness removed him from our midst.
The record of his life is brief, but the
length of the invisible record, God alone can
estimate.
Our Treasurer has left us; but when we
remember the looks of sadness, the tears, not
alone of sympathy, but of sorrow also, at his
loss, on the part of all classes in this community, the loving influence of his grand,
Christian manhood is plainly manifest.
How forcibly did the words of Christ's
minister, at the burial service, come home to
us. We can but echo the thought: Why
was one so good taken ? The answer comes:
From earth's true nobility are chosen the
honored in heaven.
We wish to call attention to our advertisement in this issue, and particularly to
that part ol it relating to the Employment
Comrnitlee. The need of such a Committee
is surely evident.
While so many young men arc continually coming to Honolulu, and tho greatest
port of them seeking employment, the want
is clearly felt by those interested.
The object of the Association being to do
good in every practicable way which is
brought to its notice in this respect, it has
seemed a good thing to aid, as far as possible, strangers coming to our city.
NOTICE.
The Young Men's Christian Association
holds Monthly Meetings at the Lyceum, at
hall-past seven o'clock, on the Third Thursday in each month.
All young men, and especially strangers,
are earnestly invited to attend.
The next meeting will be held November

"Communism," by appointment, was the
subject of discourse at the last meeting of
the Y. M.. C. A., leading to an all-engrossing discussion upon Unjust Taxation as a
possible germ of communism here in our
own fair islands. Monopolies were also
spoken of as an impending evil, tending to
draw a barrier and shutting off the poorer ol
mankind from the free exercise of their
rights and destroying that balance of power
wherein alone, it senms, liberty is secured to
all. Among those that entered into the various branches of this discussion, we would
mention the names of' Dr. C. M. Hyde, S.
N. Emerson, Rev. S. E. Bishop and C. J.
Lyons. _The subject of Unjust Taxation
will be continued on at the next meeting of
the Y. M. C. A., to be held Thursday, Nov.
20th, when the Association will be happy to
receive a full attendance of all interested in
Y. M.C. A. work.

At a recent meeting of the Y. M. C. A.
it was voted to provide and place in some
prominent locality a box for the reception of
such spare reading matter as might be donated for the Hospital and Prison. The box
is now ut the entrance of Messrs. Whitney
& Robertson's store. All books and papers
received will be distributed where they will
do the most good.

Bushnell, " than to suppose that Christians

way ; but it is to stand apart and almve it,
and to produce the impression of a holy and

Christian power."
Intelligence has been received of the
death at Jerusalem, of the missionary Bishop
Gobat, of the church of England. In early
life he went on a mission to Abyssinia, and
was afterward sent to Palestine, where he
became bishop in 1846 He was a man nf
decidedly evangelical principles, earnest in
spirit and laboriously engaged in the work
of missions. A German by birth, he was
appointed on the nomination of the present
Emperor of Germany, the naming of the
bishop belonging alternately to the Emperor
of Germany and the Queen of England.—

Thrice Golden Wedding.—The fiftieth
marriage anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
Francis Adams occurred last week. It is
an interesting and very unusual fact that
three golden weddings of successive generations of'the same family should have been
observed in the same house. That of President John Adams and his wife was celebrated on the 25th of October, 1814. That of
their son, President John Quincy Adams
and his wife, on the 26th of July, 1847.
The third has just taken place. It will be
noticed that the intervals between these
occasions were respectively thirty-three and
thirty-two years—almost exactly the lifetime of a generation. At the time of their
golden weddings, President John Adams
was seventy-nine, and President J. Q Adams had just entered his eightieth year.
Mr. Adams is seventy-two.— American

The publisher tenders his special acknowledgments to those who have continued their
subscriptions during the entire period of the
publication of the paper, as well to all who
have more recently commenced their subscriptions. As years pass and the whaleships have diminished, an important source
of aid has been withdrawn, hence we hope
the readers and subscribers of our little sheet
will promptly pay when their bills are presented, and if any are disposed to "donate "
a few dollars for gratuitous circulation of the
papers, their favors will be appreciated by
the publisher. It has been a rule from
which we have not deviated for nearly fortyyears, to furnish all ships, seamen and
strangers gratuitously, trusting that in some
way our paper would be supported.
List
of
U. S. Consuls.—We would acknowledge
the favor of a list of U. S. Consuls, which appears in another column,
through the politeness of Mr. Morton, who
is now American Consul at these Islands.
We are confident it will be scanned with
interest by " old residents."

how for ages it has been at war with man,
who seems to have gained an almost superhuman strength and courage through his
long contest with the ever-threatening sea.
He has never yielded. If the waves threatened to engulph him, he has remained faithful to the last. From father to son has this
warfare with the sea been passed onward as
an unending heritage. 1 can conceive of
scarcely a more sublime study for the genius
of a painter than this. Michael Angelo
alone might have represented it. The solitary figure of a man of heroic stature, alone
in an endless storm, facing a wild sea of
tawny foam. The green, fierce, hissing
waters at times break upon his breast, rising
like a cliff amid the waves; they wash, in
theirrestless march, the sands from beneath
his feet, but he clings to the rocks till the
foothold is regained. It is a struggle for
life ! The suns and rains of ages have beat
upon that earnest, glorious face. The
muscles have giown strong and rig.d as iron.
The winds lift the yellow, flaxen hair, which
gleams like a sunbeam against tbe blackening skies; the grert blue eyes gaze undaunted over the tempest of the waves, and
grow more brave, more earnest, more beautiful as the conflict grows more terrible.
One may indeed feel it to be a privilege to
breathe the air, which has been the life and
inspiration of the giants of these northern
shores, whose marvelous and untireing struggles with the sea is one of the wonders ot
history.
DIE DEUTSCHE SEE-RETTUNGS GESELLSCHAFT,

case of shipwreck, is one of the most interesting and important of German organizations. Some hundred years ago, at the time
when the first Eddystone Light House on
the British Coast was in process of erection,
there chanced to be war between England
and France. A boat load of English workmen, engaged upon the structure of the
light house, were tat. en prisoners by a French
cruiser. They were however immediately
sent back to their work by the French Monarch with much ceremony, and with the
word that the war he was waging, was with
the King of England, and not with mankind. As one catches here ana there the
gleam of the faithful lights from the many

these northern waters, and as one "reads

there is a brotherhood of sympathy which
can rise superior to all the distinctions of
blood and race, and national jealousy. The
German Ocean is one of the stormiest in the
world, and thousands of noble vessels have
gone down beneath these angry waters. In
1860 arose an organization in Germany to
provide, so far as possible, means of rescue
in case of shipwreck. The funds are mainly
obtained from private sources oil over the

rangements are as perfect as possible under

during the brief history of the Society, have
those who have in any Why contributed to
its support, had reason to rejoice at the good
work it has done. May this still go forward
a source of hope and consolation to all those
who are called to face the wintry storms of
this most tempestuous sea !
EAST FRISIA AND ITS PEOPLE.
A people born for freedom are the Frisians, and to this hardy, great-hearted people
of this bleak northern coast, is the world
to-day indebted for the preservation of the
noblest of human rights, liberty of thought
and action. Their grand watch-word rings
like a clarion-blast down the centuries :
The Frisian shall be free so long as the
"wind
blows out of the clouds and the world
stands !" To which one seems to hear from
their descendants, whether here by the restless surge of the North Sea, or in the neighboring British Isles, or in the distant Continent of America, from Plymouth Rock to

vast plain which extends from the extremity
of Jutland to the mouth of the Scheldt. It
is a little corner of the earth to-day, exerting
but little influence and interesting but few;
but for those few it has a remarkable fascination and attraction. The population
to-day numbers something like 200,000,
living in five or six considerable towns and
numerous villages, or scattered in little settlements along the coast. To a remarkable
degree have the East Frisians preserved
their old and simple life. The dreariness of
much of the land, its isolated situation, its
not very especial political importance, have
all had an influence in keeping the race free
from " modernizing" influences, and this
renders a study of the people exceedingly
interesting. Their long struggle of centuries with the ocean, their indomitable energy in over-coming the difficulties of their
situation, the stillness and quiet of their
lives far away from the noise and din of the
great world, has left its traces on heart as
well as body. They are still an earnest,
noble, simple folk, true and brave and loyal
to their Heavenly and Earthly Heads, and
in this pure loyality, still free as the wind
blowing out of the clouds.
THE ISLAND OF NORDENEY
has come of late years to be the favorite seaside resort ot Germany. As I mentioned
above it is one of the chain of the East Frisian Islands, bordering the main land. It is
at low tide, in fact joined to the coast by a
long sandy tract called the " Watt," hidden
by the waves at flood. For the accommodation and amusement of the thousands
of summer visitors—hundreds of buildings
have Sprung up on the sands where once
stood the little humble fishing village, and
to-day it presents a charming picture as you
approach it from the sea, or wander through
its quaint winding streets. There are spacio-s hotels and pleasure grounds, groves and
gardens. The fisher-folk vie with each
other in making their cottages pleasant and
inviting, and they are of immaculate cleanliness. Like a bit of fairy-land seems this
little summery garden, with its flowers and
trees, and gaily colored flags, in comparison
with the dreary reaches of the " dunes."

This is a most important State Document, while much credit is due the two
governments becoming parties to this Treaty,
yet it is undoubtedly the result of no little
jealousy then existing between them.
The events of 1843, as they occurred in
Hawaiian History, are among the most vivid
impressions on the tablets of our memory.
Distinctly and vividly we can recall the
actors of those days as mentioned in the
letter of Mr. M. No day can we recall with
more distinctness than the 25thof Feb. 1843,
when Kamehameha 111. made a cession of
these islands to the Queen of England, but
under a solemn protest. It was on that day
that we came near being " under fire." We
locked our dwelling house and left for shelter on board the U. S. S. Boston. The guns
of the Carysford were loaded, and we expected the town would have been fired upon.
On our way to the harbor, the announcement was made that the islands were ceded
to England. Then itfcvas that His Majesty
made the celebrated Proclamation which
contained the famous clause, which has
become the National Motto, and is now

�THE FRIEND, DECEMBER,
King Cetawayo.—The Zulus.
Our acquaintance with this strange African Kingdom, about which the papers have
had so much to say, commenced more than
forty years ago, when American Missionaries were first sent to that part of Africa.
Two well educated and accomplished ladies,
from our native place, Holden, Mass., went
thither as Missionaries. From one of them,
Mrs. Grout, sister of E. Bailey. Esq., on
Maui, we have just received a letter, from
which we quote as follows :
"
Springfield, Mass., Sept. 23d.—Ceta-
wayo has been caught. We are not sorry
to have the English govern the Zulus, rather
than that wicked King. A part of our missionary life was spent in fte Zulu country
when Umpandi, the father of Cetawayo,
was King; and we remember this son as a
boy, perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old.
We believe that now the Gospel will have
free course there."
It was our privilege to have been personally acquainted with the Rev. Messrs. Grout
and Champion, and their wives, who formed
the first mission sent out by the American
Board to the Zulus. In those days it was a
far different journey, by ses and land, to the
Zulu country, from what it is at present.

surf that was running, but we had yet to
learn how excellently these Islanders handle
their boats, for in a very short time we saw
them coming out through it, and ere long
some were aboard with a quantity of fruit
and vegetables, which were most acceptable
to us after a 35 days cruise.
It affords me the greatest pleasure to record that they are all deeply and unaffectedly religious, and their devoted loyalty to our
Most Gracious Queen knows no bounds,
this was testified to in a manner equally impressing as pleasing by their behavior at the
landing and subsequent opening of an American organ, which we had conveyed to them
as a present from the Queen. The greatest
part of the population came down to witness
its arrival and watched with the most intense
anxiety its passage through the surf, and
immediately the boat was through, willing
hands hauled her quickly up high and dry,
and soon the organ was being borne in triumph up the hill to the church. I ought
here to remark that this building is kept
both clean and neat. As soon as possible
the outer case was torn off, and the first air
played in Pitcairn on Her Majesty's gift was
"God save the Queen,"'all the inhabitants
joining in the hymn with a fervor and enthusiasm that left no doubt as to their earnestness; they tried hard to condense their
thanks to theQueen into writing, but 1 fancy
nothing could show their gratitude more
than the hearty way in which they sang our
National hymn. To sum up the character
of these people, it may be said of them that
they are fairly industrious and well educated;
that apparently they live in a state of the
most perfect harmony, the whole population
(93) appearing as one large happy family,
all working for the common good; that they
are all imbued wilh a deeply religious feeling.
It is very confusing to discover who you
are talking loon the Island, as there are
only five family names amongst all the people, consequently to avoid the confusion
caused by there being about seven Mr.
Youngs and five or six Mr. Christians, they
are assuming surnames, thus one of the
Christians has taken unto himself the name
of Downes, and is bringing up a family under that cognomen, and one of the Youngs
calls himself Selwyn; if this style of things
continues it will be difficult, in n few generations, to trace the people's connection with
the original Bounty mutineers.
With regard to the A*Afric:n>, Peter Butler, who is spoken of in .Winirnl dc Horsey's
report as a "doubtful acquisition," the Islanders gave a very good account of him,
stating that he always behaved ns one of
them, and the two oldost men on the Island
told me they had no fault to find with him,
however, some little time ago he left the
place in a schooner trading to Samoa, in
company with two of the Pitcairners, they
have since returned, but at the tune of our
visit he was still away. His wife believes
that he will return, but the rest of the paople
appear to think otherwise.
I may also add that one of the people
asked me if Father Damon of Honolulu was
yet alive, with this I will conclude my des-
cription of Pitcairn.

volumes on Palestine," besides many other
books of history and travels.
" The breaking waves dashed high
On a stern and rockbound coast.
And the woods agaluHt a stormy sky

The sermon by Rev. Dr. Damon was somewhat
out of the beaten track of the ordinary thanksgiving discourse. Taking his text from Luke
6:3B—"Give, and it shall be given unto you,"
tbe speaker proceeded to give ao exceedingly able
and interesting dissertation on Reciprocity, as
exemplified in tbe present times throughout tbe
world. First, in Commerce; second, in Science;
third, in Literature; and fourth, in Christianity.
It will readily be seen, that the materials in any
one of these subdivisions are ample for a discourse
in itself, and consequently only a brief but comprehensive review of eacb was made. Towards
tbe close, the Reverend apeaker alluded somewhat fully to the " Chinese question," which bas
attracted of late so much attention in the East
and California. While it is a question in some
minds whether tbe Chinese invasion, with which
these Islands are now threatened, is a legitimate
cause for thanksgiving, or constitutes a fitting
subject for fasting and prayer,—we all know the
rosy hue it assumes in tbe eyes of a few among
us, prominent among wbom is tbe always enthusiastic and genial preacher of our Thanksgiving
sermon. Aside from tbe more than oontented
reference to tbe prospective influx of Chinese, tbe
discourse was an excellent one, which we should
like to see printed.
At tbe conclusion of tbe sermon, the grand anthem, so familiar to every patriotic American—
What is to be Done with Oar New
Immigrants?
Some days ago a good Christian brother
and friend of humanity came to the Editor
of the Friend, with the following communication. He expressed the wish that the
Friend would call the attention of the
Christian community to the subject of doing
something for the evangelization of the
Chinese. This is just what " the Friend
proper" and"the Friend, Y. M. C. A.,"
have been endeavoring to do for years. In
addition to what is now being done, this
would seem to be demanded, to obtain as
soon as possible a missionary to labor among
the Chinese and direct colpqrtage, who
understands the Chinese language. The
Christian and Chinese communities need to
be brought into greater sympathy and to understand each other better, by a free interchange of thought and opinion.
For the Friend.
What
is
to
be done with our new immi"
grants? This is the great question of the
day, both religiously and politically. That
they are to form the great bulk of our future
population there can be no doubt. What
they have been at the homes they have left
and what they may be in their adopted
homes here, will depend on circumstances.
Having been brought up in their own country under the parental restraints taught by
Confucius, they have continued to be from
age to age a moral people, but with a few
exceptions they are a heathen people. They
have no respect for the Sabbath and no
knowledge of Christianity.
" Now comes the question, what is to be
the effect of such a large influx of heathenism on these islands, where Christianity has
been so recently established ? Which way
is the tide of influence to turn? If Christians here can bring the power ofreligion to
bear upon them so ns to influence them in
the right direction, all will be well. If not,
what is to. become of our Sabbath and our
H. D.
religious institutions ?

May not this principle be deemed a suitable
theme for a Thanksgiving discourse on an occa-
'
sion when the
pleasant memories of an American
Thanksgiving blend and mingle with reminiscences of Hawaiian Independence. We meet as
Auiericuns, yet on Hawaiian soil, and under the

This writer then proceeds to show how the great
Fenelon illustrated this idea in his "Telemacbus,"
while Mr. Wells, the American political economist, does the same in relerence to Adnua
Smith, the author of The Wealth of Nations."
The U. S. Government, in negotiating this treaty
with the Hawaiian Islands, has manifested a
generosity and nobleness which is not to be
without its happy influences upon other nations.
Other treaties of reciprocity will follow. Among
the recent items of intelligence from Japan, I
The

treaty is understood to confer reciprocal commercial advantages, from which all other nations are

mutual obligations." It is well known tbat
England and Germany are now pressing the
Japanese Government upon points really involving the independence of the Empire, while the
United States Government is upholding that Empire, as it did Hawaiian independence when
European nations would have blotted it out of
"
:"
existence.
I cannot refrain from here refering to the most
signal manner in which Hawaiian national independence was preserved and secured. Most nobly
did Richards, Judd, Ricord, Lee, Allen, and
specially R. U. Wyllie, stand up (or Hawaiian
independence. The long and successful ministerial career of Mr. Wyllio is quite noteworthy.
The stern Scotchman would not flinch or give way
one iota when the King's prerogative was in-
fringed upon. He never would have allowed His
Majesty to have signed such a treaty as has just
been negotiated between the Samoan Islands und
England. It is well for us that we have no Consular Courts. In ihe recent treaty negotiated by
our Minister, the Hon. Mr. Carter, between the
German Empire and tile Hawaiian Kingdom,
there are no clauses compromising or humiliating
the King's sovereignty. Treaties of amity and
reciprocity, when bused upon sound principles,
tend to strengthen and establish a nation's independence. The leading principle for which Mr.
Wyllie so resolutely and astutely contended
during nearly a quarter of a century, was this:
The Huwaiian Kingdom, though small, should be
treated as an independent nation, and its King as
an independent sovereign. Happily he lived to
see this principle established and acknowledged
by America and European nations ; hence, when
His Majesty negotiated the Reciprocity Treaty
with the United States Government, other nations
bad nothing to say so long as treaties with those
countries were not infringed.
The 28th ol November, 1813, may be observed
as tbe date ol Hawaiian independence, but it was
many a long year belore the Island-Kingdom was
treated as fully independent. On that day, however, it was that England and France did " engage reciprocally to consider the Sandwich Islands an independent State."
Science. —Internationalreciprocity in mat-
t.
relating to science is a most interesting
subject of oonteniplati jii. II in some astronomical
observatory in Europe tho discovery of a new
planet is made, the fact is immediately telegraphed to all the oilier observatories of the
globe. When any important discovery is made
in the science of chemistry, or geology, botany,
or mineralogy, the whole scientific world is made
acquainted with the facts, and soon the reading
public enjoy the publicity. How rapidly the
marvelous discoveries of Edison have been published throughout the world. Advances in every
department of science are published and republished until they become familiar to the friends of
science in nil lands.
It is a most interesting fact that in times of
war among nations, the stern and bloody rules
of belligerents sometimes yield to the mandates
of science. When Nupoleon was at the height of
his power and all Englishmen were prohibited
from travelling on the continent of Europe at the
peril of urrcst and imprisonment, an exception
was made in fuvor of one man—a man of science
—Sir Humphrey Davy, the chemist and discoverer ol the miner's safety lamp. Perhaps the following example is still more n.tcworthy During
the Revolutionary war, when the Americans were
battling for their independence, Dr. Franklin,
the American Plenipotentiary Ambassador at the
Court of Fiance, forbade American privateers
molesting any of the squudron of ships under
Cuptuiu Cook's command in hie scientific voyage
around tho globe. Fiance and Spain are reported lo have imposed a similar interdict upon their
cruisers. Iv acknowledgment of Franklin's
magnanimity, the British Admiralty, in tbe name
of the King, presented Dr. Franklin with o copy
of Cook's Voyages and a gold medal. One more
most striking illustration of this point: Some
hundred years ago, when France and Englund
were ut war, and while tbe first Eddystone lighthouse was in process of erection, a boat's crew
of English workmen were taken prisoners. They
were immediately sent back by the French monarch, with the laconic message that ho was
waging war with the King of England, not with
:
mankind.
It was no ordinary compliment which Agassis
paid to the scientific and liberal views of America
when he left the Old World and east io his lot
among the inhabitants of the New World.
Huving been sent to America by tbe Prussian
Government to execute a scientific commission,
he met with such kindness nnd liberality, especially among the promoters of the coast survey,
that afterwards no templing offers from any
European court, university or scientific society
could tempt him to return and relinquish his
borne in America. He wm " enabled to push his
■scientific researches on all shores from Maine to
Texas, as well as along the Pacific. It bore him
up the Amazon and around Cape Horn." For
years he employed Mr. Garrett to collect specimens of natural history in our island waters, and
was better acquainted with the fish in our ocean
than any other living scientist.
The history of efforts to explore the cold
regions surrounding the North Pole, and the
recent astronomical observations relating to the
transit of Venus, indicate the incalculable benefits
of international reciprocity in scientific matters.
But in no department may this subject be seen in
a more favorable light than in that series of
International Expositions, commencing with that
of England in 1851, under the patronage ol the
Prince Consort, and followed by the Expositions
1879.
of France, Austria, and America's grand Centennial, and to be succeeded by others in' Europe,
Australia and Japan. The influence and results
of these exhibitions of skill in manufactures and
displays of scientific research are something absolutely wonderlul. They arc revolutionising
the world of art, mechanics and science. Scientific and useful knowledge is thereby spreading all
over the habitable globe, even penetrating the
old and conservative nations of China, Slam, India and Japan. What is more remarkable, the
dark continent of Africa in receiving a portion of
these rays of scientific light. From tho report of
Dr. Means at the late meeting of the American
Board of Missions, held last month in Syracuse,
N. V., we learn that not less than a half-score of
scientific societies in Europe are pushing their
researches on the continent of Africa. Ono
French journal remarks that •• the Alricun question preoccupies all minds," while the same journal quotes the remark of " one of tho greatest
poets of the world" : " In tbe nineteenth century
tbe white man has made a man out of the black ;
in the twentieth century Lurope will make a
world out of Africa." Adds Dr. Means " Germany, France, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, all have
their parties of scientific explorers penetrating
the vast unknown, while commercial companies
are organizing for manufacturing, for traffic, and
for communication by canals, railroads, telegraph
lines, steamboats and elephant trains." Africa
—that stronghold of ignorance, heathenism and
savagery—is now being attacked in the north,
eaßt, south and west. Both scientific men and
missionaries arc resolutely determined to storm
this citadel of ignorance, superstition and slavery.
In the grand assault many noble men may fall,
but the command has been given to close up and
push forward. The news conies that the noble
Mullens, of the London Missionary Society, has
fallen while penetrating to the interior, but other
missionaries and explorers will follow in the footsteps of Livingstone, Stanley and tbeir compeers.
The world is now just beginning to witness the
grand results growing out of Livingstone's toils
and labors. What a noble career, nnd how sublimely it terminated. Penetrating ns far as his
tailing strength will allow, he kneels alone and
dies—for his body was actually found in that
position! His remains are rudely but carefully
embalmed by his faiihlul and devoted servants,
and borno more than a thousand miles on their
shoulders, through jungles and morasses, over the
hills and rivers of Africa, to Zanzibar, from
thence to be conveyed to England, where they
were finally taken to Westminster Abbey, there
to receive the highest honors which could he paid
to them. What a life! What a death! What
u burial ! Science and Christianity may well
clasp hands over the earthly remains of the noble
explorer and humble missionary !
:
HI. Literature. —Reciprocity in literature
among different nationalities is a most delightful
subject for review. Our thoughts are elevated
above material interests, and we are invited to
witness the action and reaction of mental aspirations in the realm of genius. A book of genius—
Uncle Tom's Cabin," for example—is published, and in a very few months it is translated and
published in perhapei twenty different languages,

IV. Christiamtv.—ln its nature and principles
Christianity implies reciprocity among all dwelling upon the earth. The Apostle Paul dashed
forth with a bold stroke when he said, " There is
neither Greek nor Jew, Barbarian, Scythian,
bond nor free but Christ is all and in all." The
Gospel was to he preached among all nations.
It was among the hardest efforts for the disciples
of Christ to learn tbis lesson. As centuries havo
rolled away, these principles have become more
apparent. Our century presents the sublime
spectacle of the Church universal being engaged
in a noblo crusade to evangelise the heathen
world. The barriers of nations have been crossed.
There is no longer a moral Chinese wall. Mie-

Here is international reciprocity of the best
description.

QUESTION
In the onward march of these principles and
spread of Gospel ideas, I am not ignorant of the
national conflicts which arise and of the race
animosities engendered. This conflict of race
prejudices is before our eyes. A discussion of
the subject is sharply presented in the newspapers ol America and those of our Islands.
Every mail brings news relating to the conflict
among political leaders, and even Christian editors, upon this subject. The gravity of the discussion
I would not overlook or the mighty
issue-) ignore. Not a few, even among good
Christian citizens, follow in the wake of a demagogue who has uttered the party cry and watchword, " The Chinese must go." This is ndt a
new cry. It was not heard for the first time on
the sand hills ofSun Francisco. Less than forty
yearsago it was heard on the opposite shores of
the Pacific, in China, •' Englishmen must go
those foreign devils." Kearney's shriek is but
a faint and feeble echo of the" Heathen Chinee."
May it not be useful to enquire bow the issue
was there met? Did the Englishman go? Why
not 7 Was his presence any less offensive to the
people of China than that of the Chinese to the
people of America? The opium war followed,
and in August, 1842, peace was restored ; but
China was compelled lo pay $21,000,000—including $12,000,000 ns war expenses, $3,000,000
to injured English merchants, and $6,000,000

and must repudiate the doctrine now so speciously advocated by some, that every nation had the
right to protect itself by exoluding immigrants
seeking a domicile in a quiet and peaceful manner. The question arises, Shall the policy of tho
statesmen and diplomatists of England and America be now repudiated.
Imagine not that the end has come. Dragon's
teeth which war has sown in China may produce
a harvest of armed men. An educated and intelligent Chinese geutlemun, residing in London,
writing for that leading English periodical,
Fraser's Magazine, only two years ago, thus expresses his views " Depend upon it, as soon as
China thinks herself in a position to carry out her
wishes, she will at once repudiate the clause
legalizing the traffic in opium ; nnd if England
asks why she does so, she will answer that the
mural sensivof her whole nation requires it, and
that justice, humanity and righteousness demand
it. If England should then declare another wnr
against her in support of the wicked cause, sho
will refer the matter to the impartial judgment of
the world—tbe United States und the great
Powers ol Europe—rather than subnrt to tho
stipulations of a treaty, the terms of which were
dictated and almost extorted after a most disastrous wnr, and the effect of which has been the
ruin of her subjects."
Is this subject at rest. Is it forgotten ? Only
a few weeks ago, nt the meeting of the International Evangelical Alliance held in Basic,
Switzerland, where were assembled the leading
laymen and divines of Europe and America, the
world-wide and renowned Professor Christlieb, ot
Binn, Germany, brought forward tho opium
question, und the following resolution was adopted unanimously, the whole assembly rising to
make more emphatic their condemnation of this
immoral traffic: "The assembly holds that the
interest of Christianity itself urgently demands
that there should be a change in the policy
hitherto pursued by the English Government in
:
regard to the opium trnde, and commissions its
officers to lay this resolution before the Secretary
of State for India."
A Scottish missionary. Rev. Mr. Shoolbred, returning from India, thus addresses an assembly
of his countiymen. In speaking of the efforts of
the English in hehull of those suffering from the
famine, he remarks " I am sorry to say that
by their opium traffic they are counteracting their
own measures and doing much to intensity the
terrible famine evils which they desire to avert.
It is high time, I think, that the enlightened
:
public opinion of Christian Britain should rise
up and demand tbe suppression of tbis infamous
traffic; and I deem no apology necessary for
bringing the subject before this large and influential assembly ofthe Christian people of Scotland."
I have discussed this subject because in its
ultimate bearing and decision our Island Kingdom is most intimately concerned. There must

of doing unto others us you would have others

It was upon this latter principle that, I believe, was negotiated what is known in the history
of diplomacy as tbe Burlingumc Treaty between
the United States and China. That treaty for a
season met with much opposition in China, England, France and Germany; but few diplomatists
ever so effectually succeeded in disarming all opposition as did Mr. Burlingmne. Listen to the

Burlingnme n his nrrivul in England, but this
has nil passed away. Mr. Burlingume, by his
dignified course, and feeling the grnndcur and
importance of the high trust confided to his care,
has conducted himself in such a manner as to
completely disarm opposition and create a favorable impression, not only for China, but for the
United States ; for, while acting as the representative of China, his dignified bearing and progressive ideas have exhibited hiin as a true type
of the representative American." I am not
aware that any American ever received a higher
compliment from a British statesman at the Cuurt
of St. James. I do not forget Mr. Burlingamo's
visit to Honolulu, and the convincing manner in
which I heard him unfold, in clear nnd lucid
style, the great object of his visit to America and
Europe. He was u bom diplomat ol the noblest

type.
1 would now ask, Is England, is China, is
America to recede from the fundamental principles of that treaty ? No. Articles of that
treaty may be modified, hut the full gist and substance of that treaty will remain. It forms an
important epoch in treaty ncgotinions between
Ihe Occident and the Orient. In its essential
features it was a treaty of reciprocity, based on
the principle of my text, " (iivc, and it shall be
given unto you." The principle of the Golden
Rule was also recognized. It forms the basis of
all good statesmanship tbe world over. The
leaven is gradually permeating other Oriental
nations. President Grunt's visit to Japan and
elsewhere is not to prove barren of important re.
suits. While he was sojourning in China and
Japan, matters of grave importance were under
discussion.
Perhaps this somewhat lengthy discussion or
international reciprocity would more appropriately follow iban precede a Thanksgiving dinner.
There is an impression that the descendants of
the Puritans have somewhat degenerated and are
not what tbeir fathers were. This is doubtless
truo when tested by our ability to listen before
dinner patiently and submissively to the long
two-hours sermons or the clergy. But bear with
me a moment longer, and I will close. Has not
honorable reciprocity always been one of the traditions of the American people? Because England would not grant to the colonists representation in Parliament when taxes were imposed,

they declared war and asserted their independence.
During tbe past century the same idea has
been carried out, until (iermany finally yicldod

now go back on her principles in negotiating
with China? It hardly seeius possible. President Hayes, by his timely and prompt veto of
