THE FRIEND.
JANUARY I. 1880.
Just as our paper was going to press
on this 31st day of December, 1879, the interesting and imposing ceremonies connected
with the laying of the corner-stone of the
new Palace were in progress. Our limits
will not aUow us to make even a meagre
report of the proceedings. We would merely add that the box containing the articles
deposited was fitted to its place and the
corner-stone let fall at just one o'clock p. m.
Imagine some thousands of years hence,
when Hawaiian and English are among
the " dead languages," some future Cesnola
or Schliemann shall, with ruthless hands,
displace this corner-stone and open the
sealed box, when unfolding the various
•documents there deposited, he should, after

In copying the above from last week's
Advertiser, we would add that, ten years
ago, when visiting England, it was our
privilege to spend a few days in the most
agreeable society of the deceased, then residing in the vicinity of Manchester. We
learn from his son that his honored father
had uniformly enjoyed good health through
his long ministerial career, and preached
before an association only ten days before
his much-lamented death. Respected and
beloved by a wide circle of friends and old
parishioners, he belonged to a denomination
in England about which the eminent Rev.
Dr. Hall of New York thus spoke in one of
his lectures, delivered before the students of
Vale Theological School: " The Congregationalists, I am glad to say, are very
strong. They are quite numerous, and their
influence is out of proportion to their numbers. They are fortunate, especially, in
having a large number of very efficient
ministers. A stranger stopping over the
Sabbath in one of the English cities, and
inquiring for the church where he can hear
the best preaching, is very apt to be referred
to the Congregational church."

ACROSS THE BORDER.
It has always seemed to me rather an unnecessary exercise of parental authority, as
manifested "in the case of those French peasants who, as I have somewhere read, were
wont to take their children to the boundaryline and there administer to them a sound
thrashing With rods," in order that they,
poor little things, might remember where
their own land ended and where the territory of the stranger and the foe began. It
was alleged that this exterior application
strengthened the memory to such an extent
that it was never found necessary to repeat
it. Now, as J was saying, it has always
seemed to me quite unnecessary. For I am
sure the dullest of people, the sleepiest of
travellers, musl know by a sort of instinct

for one felt the presence of Holland in some
mysterious, inexplicable way as I first entered Dutch territory with the early days of
last September. The hour, the moonlight,
the witchery of the night, may have had
something to do with this. The land lay in
one unending plain. One never sees mountains here, except those which the restless,
tawny waves of the sea along the shore rear
in swift, passionate moments. The moon
lighted the landscape—not regally, lavishly,
as with us in the tropics, but with a softened
lustre which seemed in harmony with the
quiet of the land. Through the night the
gaunt arms of the windmills—those guardian angels of Holland—rose into view, but
losing much of their stiffness, their goodnatured awkwardness in the silvery light
and velvety shadows. The arrowy straightness and precise lines of the can.ls were
rendered more poetic by the soft and billowy
waves of pearl-grey mist which floated above

THE FRIEND,
the late summer, of the country, of the dewy
night, filled the air. I felt on all sides the
embrace and welcome of dear, brave, heroic,
grand little Holland. I had been reading
for months, with tear-filled eyes and throb-
bing heart, the glorious history of that
mighty struggle for-truth and liberty which
was here waged for well-nigh one hundred
years, and I felt it to be one of the greatest
privileges of my life to be permitted at
length to tread the soil which, for all lovers
of liberty in every land and every coming
age, must be Indeed holy I If there may
seem in all this the sentimental enthusiasm
of a traveller, then read and re-read the sublime epic of that marvelous period—then
come and see the land where this tragedy
was eliacted, iv the blaze of martyr-fires,
amid the smoke and gore of sacked cities,
dreary battle-fields and desolated homes,
where a handful of great-souled men and
women won the field before the greatest
armies of the world, and gained for you and
me the fair and fruitful blessings of liberty
of conscience,—and you will but echo my
enthusiasm. Through the infinite peace of
the night I seemed to see the sad, earnest,
now triumphant face and figure of my
chosen hero, my knight " satis neur et sans
reproche," the soldier, the Christian, the
martyr—" William the Silent!"
NORTH HOLLAND.
I was pleased that circumstances permitted
my seeing a portion of Holland not visited,
perhaps, by the majority of travelers. My
first halting place was Groningen, the
great market centre for an extensive and
most fruitful region. My hotel was situated
on a great public " place," one of the largest
in all Holland, which on fharket days is
crowded with sellers and buyers from all the
country round. The chiming of the bells
gave me welcome in this first city I visited,
something which was to accompany me, I
found, ail through Holland and Belgium.
There was something especially soothing
and welcoming to a stranger, coming into a
new city in an unknown land, at night, this
soft, musical murmur of the bells, repeated
with every recurring hour of the night, like
a lullaby, a message of peace through the
darkness. One of the most delicious experiences of travel is that sense of novelty
which strikes you in everyday objects and
sets you gazing like the most inquisitive
child. 1 found my bedroom, with its canopied bed, where curtains shielded me like a
tent, especially delightful. In many a long
day I have seen nothing so charming in its
way as the hotel breakfast table which greeted me the first morning at Groningen. Certainly Dutch neatness, I thought, has not
been exaggerated. The linen was spotless,
the glass crystal itself, the silver laughing at
its own brightness. The air was pervaded
by a friendly bubbling and hissing of the
water in the great central urn, which was
fairly captivating. Each guest had his
'separate tea-service, arranged with the most
exquisite care. The table was spread with
preserves, with all manner of white breads
and brown, with breakfast cakes and puffy
buns, and the delicious cheeses for which
the region is famed. Pardon me for tarrying so long at the breakfast table, but I
found in it such an epitome of Holland that
JANUARY,
188 0.
I could scarcely forbear sketching it for you.
Here was Dutch ease, love of comfort, slowness ; everyone sipped his tea as if he had
nothing else in life to do to compare with
the solemnity of this act. Here was Dutch
justice shown in the generous portions, in
the plenty of everything ; Dutch cleanliness
and thrift, and Dutch love of the beautiful
displayed in the minutest arrangement of the
friendly board. It was a pleasant introduction to the day, in harmony with the sweetness and freshness of the morning, a moral
stimulus to make the working hours exact,
honorable, full of worthy deeds
Our way (you know we are expecting to
catch the early boat on the Zuyder Zee) lay
through the rich farming lands between
Groningen and Harlingen. This is one of
the most productive portions of all Holland.
It is the home, too, of a brave, thrifty, noble
race—the Frisians, the old Germanic stock
of whom Tacitus tells us. I enjoyed meeting them, watching them at the different
stations. It chanced to be some fete day,
and the trains were crowded with peasants
in " brave attire." The costume defete is,
you will acknowledge, staid and Puritanical
enough—for the men, black, sober, clerical,
angular; for the women, black; for the
children, black. At first I thought there
might be some great funeral in the district,
but as tbe same costume appeared on every
side, worn by people in the heartiest and
jolliest humor, 1 found it better to laugh than
weep. The women, many of them, wear
heavy metal bands encircling the head, in
front terminating oftentimes in beautiful ornaments of gold, all this Amazonian helmet
being feHHnized and softened by little covering caps, dainty muslin affairs adorned with
embroideries and lace, and above all this is
perched a bonnet ofmodern make, ornamented with feathers and ribbons, the whole
grayer sky, and our steamers pervous
whistle impatiently called us on board, and
we were soon foaming through the dullcolored waves of the Zuyder Zee. The
steamer takes something like six hours to
make the journey from Harlingen to Amsterdam. As you are aware, the whole
Dutch coast has been, since unknown centuries the scene of the ocean's wildest sport.
In the thirteenth century it invaded the
land, and uniting with a near-lying lake,
formed the mighty Zuyder Zee. Should
you chance to have an atlas at your elbow,
would you kindly follow me, steaming down
to Amsterdam. The day is fresh and cool,
in the morning the sky clouded, but later on
revealing a blue and glorious heaven, so that
we find the harbor of Amsterdam bathed in
sunshine in the afternoon. We skirt the
coast as far as Stavoren, where rises the
friendly tower of the lighthouse. Here there
is a little group waiting to receive us. Passengers are coming on board. It is noontime at the village school, and the wharf is
filled with round-faced, rosy-cheeked boys
and girls of the most pronounced Dutch
type, and the air is filled with tneir laughing and shouting and the "clack, clack,
clack of their great wooden shoes. The
benevolent old p*tstor, with his smooth black
cloak and spotless cravat, stands in the
midst of them. His whole flock seems to
be here. The coming of the steamer must
be the day's sensation. We are taking on
board scores of great round cheeses. At
length they are in place. The chains are
thrown off, and we steam across the channel
to Enkhuizen. The little town, in the
noon sunshine, forms a most beautiful pic.
ture. All along the shore are precise and
proper rows of trees, looking like a company
of Dutch burgers wrapped in their mantles
at conference or church. There is a picturesque, lofty tower of the middle ages, rising
above an ancient gate, and in its old age,
from its bells high up in air, tbe belfry sending out tender, mellow music to those far
out at sea. In Enkhuizen, Paul Potter, the
famous painter of animal life, was born in
1625. We shall see many of his paintings,
so strong, so true, so lifelike, as we go on
through the Netherlands, and especially his
world-renowned " Bull," in the Royal Gallery at the Hague. Oddly enough, there
was brought on board at Enkhuizen a fine
young bull, with soft brown hair flecked
with white, full of a grand, irrepressible life,
and I felt that the stock had not run out—
at least in the animals—since tbe days Paul

They are a hardy, healthy iace, the North
Hollanders—the women especially, in this
district through which we are passing, being
oftentimes strikingly handsome, with great,
full, innocent eyes and satiny white skins
stained with vivid rose. There was something Junonian about them, albeit their
staid attire seemed to forbid such a classic
and profane comparison. Ah, the delicious
sweetness and meadow fragrance of that
early autumn morning! As the train
paused we glanced at Leeuwarden, the old
capital of Frisia, set in the midst of a wide
and smiling- landscape. Then came Irancker, where was once a University, which,

by picturesque villages, by church spires, by
forests of windmills. On one side we look
off, far away through the blue haze, to the
coast near which lies the town of Zwolle,
where Thomas a Kempis, of holy name and
fame, lived in the cloister for well-nigh 70
years where he wrote his immortal "Dc
Imitatione Christi." Here he died in 1471,
in his ninety-third year,—one of the sweetest, rarest, holiest men the world has ever
known. On our right, just discernible, is
the little village of Hoorn, the birthplace of
Wilhelm Schouten, who was the first, in
J616, to sail round that stormy southern
cape, to which he gave the name of his
native village in Holland. But before us is
rising a stately and picturesque city into
view, glittering in the sunshine, seen through
a forest of masts, from which wave the flags
of all nations. The sluices are passed, the
haven reached, and we land on the busy
wharf of Amsterdam.
A FEW WORDS FROM BERLIN.
The summer—short at the best here at
the North—is gone, and winter is at the
door. The brief gray days of November are
with us. The Thier-garten has doffed its
verdant garments of midsummer, and its
glorious avenues bend before the winds
mourning the death of the year, while the
air is filled with myriads of falling, fluttering leaves, a veritable shower of gold.
While nature mourns, the city seems filled
with a tumultuous joy. The streets are
agnin active and bustling and gay. The
public drives and walks are filled with a brilliant throng. The Emperor is once more in
the capital, his venerable, fatherly presence
being a joy and comfort to every one. \
The German people have lost within a
week or two one of their leading men—his
Excellency Herr yon Bulow, Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, a man of marked
ability and of great nobility and purity of
character. His funeral, which took place
last week, was of a singularly striking and
impressive character. The services were
held in the Church of St. Matthew, one of
the smaller but more beautiful churches in
the city. It was crowded till there was
scarcely even standing room. The scene
was one not soon to be forgotten. Before
the altar, which was almost hidden in a
•thicket of greenery, was placed the coffin,
surrounded by burning tapers and hidden
from sight by masses of costly wreaths—
rarest garlands of laurel leaves, pale roses,
floral crosses and drooping palm branches.
At the foot of the coffin, on cushions of purple velvet, were the numerous glittering
orders and decorations of the deceased. The
body of the church was one, of the most
brilliant scenes imaginable. Ail the leading
officers of Government in their varied and
beautiful uniforms, such as are seen in no
country as in Germany; hundreds of
the military, the Diplomatic corps, and
an immense throng besides, were presThe Emperor, with his brother,

sat on one side of the coffin, facing the

pathos, and 1 may say beauty of the scene.

came softly through the crimson and purple
and gold stained windows. The hundreds
of brilliant uniforms glittered like one immense jewel; the music of the organ rose
and fell in full waves of mellow sound accompanying the hushed chant, Sei getren
bis in den Tod.v Before all stood the
flower-wreathed coffin of the departed, awing
all by its voiceless eloquence ; on one side
the patriarchal figure of the Emperor, on the
other the group of mourners, while triumphantly above the altar was seen a picture
of the risen Christ!
During the past two or three weeks the
General Synod of the Evangelical Church
of the older Provinces of Prussia has been
holding its sessions, which closed only last
Monday. This has been an important
session. The action of the body has been
such as to show that there was much earnest
life and purpose in the Church, whatever
may be said by many to the contrary. The
assembly, consisting of full two hundred
members, clerical and lay, presented a fine
appearance at its sittings. These were held
in the chambers-of the Prussian House of
Lords, a simple but dignified apartment.
For my eye at least, there is scarcely a finer
or more impressive sight in the world than
that of a company of clergymen, and here in
Germany i make no exception. There is a
dignity in theircarriage, a peculiar mingling
of sweetness, of strength, of lofty purity in
their faces, especially marked in the older
clergy, those who wear as a sort of halo at
the close of long years of service the glory
of their silver bair. Among this large company I noticed the stately Dr. Jaber, of
Barmen, at the head of the Mission House
there ; Professor Christlieb, from Bonn ; Dr.
Kogel, one of the Court chaplains ;*Pastor
Frommel, that most genial, most loveable,
most charming of German clergymen ; Pastor Fincke, of Bremen, who resembles him
in many respects, whose Life of St. Paul"
is a choice and noble work; Dr. Brucken,
one of the leading and most thoughtful
preachers of Berlin, and a host of others.
Among the most important ofthe lay members of the Synod were His Excellency
Count Putkammer, "Cultus Minister," who
has just taken the portfolio left by Dr. Falk,
famous for his attacks upon the U [tramontanes ; Count Boitzenberg, Count BismarckBo Iland, etc.
Every year Berlin enjoys an exhibition
of modern paintings, which is for this city
what the Academy is for London and the
Salon for Paris, and is here called the
Kunst Ausstellung." All through the
autumn it has delighted and feasted the
eyes of hundreds of visitors. Most of the
artists whose pictures are here exhibited are
resident in Berlin. Great as would be
the pleasure to describe some of the beautiful paintings which have charmed us here,
I must confine myself to the mention of one
portrait, which is the glory of the collection,
and which has been, so to say, an art
event this autumn for all Germany. It is
the portrait of Queen Louisa of Prussia, the
mother of the present Emperor, and is executed by that master in modern portraiture,
Herr Gustav Richter. Queen Louisa's name
is written in luminous letters in the history
of Prussia. She was the daughter of the
Duke of Mccklenburg-Strelitz. She was

THE FRIEND,
married at an early age to Frederick William HI of Prussia, and became one of the
most prominent figures in the stormy political conflicts of her period. She was a
woman of extraordinary loveliness of person,
of a lofty character, marvelously actuated as
it were by a sense of her holy mission in the
cause of Prussian liberty; in her lifetime
the idol of tbe people, and since her death
regarded almost as a saint or guardian angel
by the German people. She died in 1809
at the early age of36, mourned perhaps as
no other woman has ever been mourned in
Germany. Though the present Emperor
was a mere child at her death, he has cherished her memory with a devotion and
sacredness, with a poetic tenderness, which
still in these late years of his old age is as
marked as it is beautiful. The painting by
Richter is of transcendent loveliness. You
recognize the lovely Queen, transfigured, exalted, inspired by her great purpose. It has
been ordered by one of the citizens of
Cologne, and is already hung upon the walls
of the museum of that city, its rarest treasure. It represents the Queen at the height
of her ripened and perfected beauty. The
face is full of indescribable hopefulness,
sweetness, steadfast purpose, heroic resolve
—the face of an Empress, of a leader, softened by the tender, timid lines of wife and
motherhood. The figure is superb, clad in
a simple robe of white ; one dimpled hand is
laid upon the breast, the other holds the
heavy ermine-lined velvet mantle, which
falls upon the marble steps she is descending. The eyes seem to be gazing upon
some far distant horizon, invisible to us,
Above her brow is a golden star of hope.
Behind her aie storm-clouds; the air is
filled with a winter sadness. Against such

Rose. He was born in New York City in 1838,
and at tbe age of IS removed with his family to

THE FRIEND,
have written letters upon this subject to
China, and made it a special point with the
Chinese themselves who were going Ut
China and were expecting to return. The
following editorial appeared in tbe Friend
in July last:
the time about come for the
" Has notGovernment
to take decided
Hawaiian
action about the introduction of so many
Chinese immigrants, unaccompanied by
tbeir wives ? Would it not be well to convene the leading and prominent Chinese
merchants of Honolulu, and let the subject
be fairly discussed ? Does not the magnitude of the subject demand the appointment
of a Minister Plenipotentiary who shall
visit China and confer with the authorities ?
If the Hawaiian Government supports a
Minister at Washington, ought it not also
to support a Minister or Consul-General at
Pekin ? Hawaiian affairs are as deeply involved in what passes in China as what
passes in America. Tbe California watchword may be, " The Chinese must go," but
that of Hawaii is,
must
" TheandChinese
come," to work our cane
rice fields.
Now let us treat them fairly, and do all in
our power to introduce Chinese families and
diffuse among them Christianity."
This editorial does not convey the idea
that we advocate " unrestricted immigration
from China." Touching this question of
the Chinese and the proper manner of treating them, we would add in conclusion : AYe
have no sympathy with the policy vfhich
has been pursued in Peru, Cuba and California, of inviting Chinese laborers and then
reducing them to slavery, or treating them
otherwise than as free and voluntary immigrants who have the same right to " come
and go" as immigrants from any other
country. To no other country have Chinese
immigrants been more cordially invited—
nay, urged to come and labor, than to these
Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian Government, Board of Immigration and planters
have combined to make the passage easy
for the Chinese to leave iheir own country
and come hither. The record of Dr. Hillebrand's mission to China and the East
Indies, and the mission of the Hon. Mr.
Wilder as the planters' agent, are fresh in
mind. To induce them to migrate hither,
their passages have been paid wholly or in

My Dear Brother: We have been separated from each other by the Pacific for
these thirty odd years. While I have
known much of you, I have never had any
personal intercourse. Now, as Canton is
to be connected with Honolulu by a line of
steamers, and as the number of Chinese who
will be in your Islands will be increased, I
feel free to write to you of matters of common interest connected with the cause of
Christ. I feel much connected with Chinese interest there, as two of my pupils, Ho
Pui and Shin Chak, are your colporteurs,
and an acquaintance, Sit Moon, is temporary pastor of the Chinese church in Honolulu. 1 write to say, that if we can help the
work amongst the Chinese in your midst in
any way, by sending books or tracts, we
will be glad to do so Letters from any of
the Chinese to their friends here may be
sent to me. In view of the increased number of Chinese there, I would advise that
one of your young ministers should come to
Canton and study Chinese for two years or
more. You will find it very difficult to
carry on the work among the Chinese unless some American understands Chinese.
There is a want of integrity even amongst
Chinese Christians which you will have to
guard against. There is a Wesleyan here
from Australia studying Chinese, in order
to have charge of the work there on his
return.
The Presbyterians of Australia
took Rev. D. Vroomnn from this place to
superintend their work there. It appears
to me that you will need to put forth strenuous efforts to Christianize the Chinese in
your Islands, or there is danger that they
will turn many of your own islanders back

letter:

Rev. S. C Damon.—Dear Sir: I have
heard bad news from a Christian man, who
said your son has died with a high fever
last week. My dear sir. do not feel troubled
for him, because he die by God's providence.
I think God will receive his soul up to
heaven. Now you should take good care of
your health. Do not be over sorry ; if you
sorry so much 1 fear that you will be failing
in your health. Please see the Holy Bible
instructs us, because God's hand has shield
us from every danger in this world. God
might be able to preserve his soul too when
he died. Although we cannot see him at
this time, we shall see him in the Kingdom
of God. My dear sir, I wish to go to see
you, but I cannot go, for there is a great

Our plan, as set forth above, —the
struggle to maintain a pure religion before
God—comes home to us with renewed
force at the beginning of this new year. The
past lies dead behind us, and yet in its offspring, the present, we recognize, in changed
form, the pure spirit of the old. Progress
has been made, but thoughtful activity is
ever the necessity. Ministrations have
been made to the bereaved, and we count as
fatherless and friendless, not alone those
whose earthly ties have been sundered, but
recognise also those whom the terms in their
widest application would embrace the
wanderers through the world with no infinite hand to guide them. There are those
whose hearts know not the feeling induced
by heavenly love and paternal protection;
those whom adversity has claimed as its
victims ; those to whom earthly justice has
meted out punishment; those whose feet
have been stumbling along life's pathway
ever since they first breathed the air of
heaven, whose minds have always been enveloped in the darkness of a spiritual night.
These sre to be considered " in affliction."
The command comes, " Visit them." We
are not to wait till the temporal or spiritual
cloud has lifted ; but while the shadows still
shroud the soul in darkness, then is the time
to let in the bright rays of consolation and
sympathy. The work has been begun and
is progressing. The Prison and Hospital
an visited weekly, and their inmates helped
and comforted as far ss possible.
too, an attack has been made upon
■atbendom in these Islands ; and to show
result of this attack, we have simply to
mention the report before the Y. M. C. A.

bership in Rev. Mr. Rouse's church, Maui.
Still there is ample room for Christian work.
Now, when we hare accomplished all this,
when we have done our duty faithfully to
the sick and imprisoned, we have attained,
as it seems, the easiest part of the requirements of Pure Religion.
We have worked
for others; but that is not enough. "To
keep one's self unspotted from the world" is
still incumbent. And how much that means !
The effort is a life work. The struggle is
against self and the natural heart. Obstacles
of evil are on every hand, and instead of
straight, the path ahead seems crooked indeed. Perfection is impossible with finite
beings, and some stains will cling ; but with
the primal motive, God's will, those spots
will be washed out in forgiveness. Have
we this '•*' Religion undefined ?" The present
is with us. The needy are around us, and
if our own hearts are right, the only question with each one of us will be, How shall
we best attain the requirements of pure religion? Then, when another year has
flown, in the present that shall confront us
we shall trace the lineaments of a past full
of glorious achievements.
In One Life-time.
Some one has recently written : "I am
not an old man, yet in material things 1
have seen the creation of a new world. lam
contemporary with the railroad, the tele-
graph, the steamship, the photograph, the
steam plow, the friction match, gaslight,
chloroform, nitre-glycerine, the monitor, the
caloric engine, the California gold discoveries, the oil-well discoveries, gutta percha,
canned fruits, the electric light, the telephone, etc. Gentlemen conservatives, these
are some of the footprints of material progress of the present generation. Do you
think the moral world will remain tbe same
as before ? that society will be unaffected by
these changes ? If you do, let me call your
attention to the fact that this same generation has seen the abolition of slavery on a
grand scale, the ascendancy of republican
America, the opening of China aud Japan,
the institution of world's fairs, the spread of
the insurance system, and the agitation for
the freedom of women. And the march is
steadily on, with accelerating motion. What
is its meaning ? Where will it end ?"
The meeting of the Association took place
Thursday evening, Dec. 18th. Tbe attendance was very poor, there being but ten
members present. After various items of
business and reports from members of committees, the subject '< Unequal Taxation l
was discussed. We call attention to tbe
subject for next month in our advertisement,
and would ask for a fair atendance at least
of the members of the Association.
The corner-stone of a new Congregational
chapel was recently laid at Milton, England,
by a member of the Established Church,
and an English Church newspaper, commenting on the fact, says: "In these days
many a good Churchman is thankful to
have a Dissenting chapel to go to, who
would never have been induced to cross its
threshold before our churches were turned
into Mass-houses."
"The wind is unseen, but it cools the
brow of the fevered one, sweetens the summer atmosphere, and ripples the surface of
the water into silver spangles of beauty. So
goodness of heart, though invisible to the
material eye, makes its presence felt, and
from its effects upon surrounding things we
are assured of its existence."
Ruskin never said a truer thing than this:
"If you want knowledge, you must toil for
it; if food, you must toil for it; and if
pleasure, you must toil for it. Toil is the
law. Pleasure comes through toil, and not
by self-indulgence and indolence. When
one gets to loving work, his life is a happy
one. Said a poor man in Brooklyn, the
other day, with a family of eleven to provide for : " If I were worth a million dollars
1 should not wish to do much different than
I do now every day, working hour afterhour.
I love it a thousand times better than to.
rest." He has for nearly half a century
been surrounded by workers, and hns caught
the spirit of industry. He loves his work
better than food or sleep. He is happy who
has conquered laziness once and forever.
He that has an eye and a heart can even
now say, Why should I falter ? Light has
come into the world ; to such as love light,
so as light must be loved, with a boundless,
all-doing, all-enduring lore.
Here on earth we are as soldiers fighting
in a foreign land, that understand not the
plan of the campaign, and have no need to
understand it, seeing well what is at our
hand to be done. Let us do it like soldiers,
with submission, with courage, with a heroic
joy. " Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,
do it with all thy might.'' Behind us,
behind each one of us, lie six thousand
years of human effort, human conquest.
Before us is the boundless time, with
its aa yet uncreated and unconquered continents and Eldoradoes, which we, even we,
have to conquer, to create; and from the
bosom of eternity there shine for us celestial
guiding stars.

"Rev. Dr. Damon is planning to take the
February steamer for a trip to the States,
and to Europe. Mrs. Damon will accompany him, both needing the rest and recuperation such a tour usually affords."
We clip the above from the Gazette, and
would add, that, during our absence, of a
few months, we hope to gratify a life-long
desire, to spend a few days in London during the " May-Meetings." The B. and F.
Bible Society, London Missionary Society,
Church Missionary Society, Religious Tract
Society, and other simitar associations, are
world-wide in tbeir influence, and it is our
desire to take a near view of these agencies,
so potent and evangelistic for good.
In making our preparations for leaving it
is pleasant to be cheered forward, by the
hearty congratulations of neighbors, friends
and parishioners, including our sea-faring
friends,all adding, "We are glad you are going." We are now entering upon our

The last Hawaiian Legislature appointed
Mr. Gibson to prepare a report upon the

glad to know that he has been most diligently laboring to write something which will
prove truly valuable. In a note lately received, we met with the following significant and suggestive paragraph;

built his wall."
As the Jewish Lawgiver left his flocks in
Midian to conduct his countrymen from
Egypt to the Promised Land, so we trust
the Shepherd of Lanai, without leaving his
flocks, may conduct Hawaiians, afflicted
with Egyptian diseases, to the promised
land of health, prosperity and perpetuity.

It was with much pleasure that we were
permitted to welcome this young clergyman
and his wife on their way to Wailuku,
where he is to take charge of the Foreign

to receive a note from Rev. Mr. Alexander,
from which we copy as follows :
" I had the pleasure of hearing" him preach
last Sunday. I think he is the right man in
the right place. We are all much pleased
with him and his wife. We had a social
gathering in the Government Union storehouse last evening to welcome them. A
large number attended, and I hope we shall
now get better acquainted with each other

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD- No. 37
Autumn Days Is the Netherlands—No. 2.
Brussels, Belgium, September, 1879.
I have arrived thus far in safety in my
journey through the Netherlands and Belgium. It Is almost superfluous for me to
say that it is proving in all respects, and in
the highest degree, a journey delightful,
beneficial and instructive. 1 have been
favored with the most beautiful of golden
September days, the most charming of
autumn weather: My study and reading
and intense anticipation for weeks and
months past, in reference to and of Holland
and Belgium, are now in a remarkable degree enabling me to appreciate the opportunities which are afforded me here. It is a
grand and glorious historical, artistic and
poetic feast for me, and will be to me for
life of immense importance. Let me sketch
briefly in outline my journey thus far—and
it must be only in outline, for my time is
limited for writing, and 1 hope for weeks to
come to send you all the details and sidecoloring after I am once more back in Berlin. On Monday, September lat, I left
Nordeney, which never seemed more beautiful than in the early morning aunahine as I
said " Good bye " Once more in Emden,
and then by train
to Groningen, where I
passed the night, and which was my. first
Dutch city. Then next morning on to
Harlingen; then a charming day on tbe
steamer crossing the Zttider Zee to Amsterdam. In Amsterdam I spent two or three
days; then one day in Utrecht. By train
to Hilder, to see the grand dykes of North
Holland, defence against the North Sea. A
visit to the historic.and picturesque towns of
Aikmaar and Zandaam, then to Harlem—
charming, sweetly clean, brave old Harlem
—and then to the Hague snd Leiden,
so famous from its memorable siege and
Motley's descriptions. On every side were
Dutch pictures in landscape, dress face, etc.
The picturesque -little town of Delft I also
visited. Here William tbe Silent was assassins ted. I stood on tbe very spot where
the great man fell. How his very presence
still seems to remain in this drowsy little
city with its tree-fringed canals From
I went to Rotterdam—busy, quaint

THK FRIEND, FEBRUARY.
Rotterdam my route turned to Antwerp,
passing through Dordrecht. Here I said
good bye to Holland, and shortly afterwards
entered the Kingdom of Belgium. Antwerp, with its glorious Cathedral, its splendid gallery,' its splendid memories of Rubens
and a host of other artists. 1 can speak of
only with unbounded enthusiasm. My visit
there was a banquet. From Antwerp to
Ghent, are we not indeed on classic ground?
Then through Bruges and Ostend the great
watering-place, to Brussels.
1 am finding my anticipations fully realized, and that is saying much. lam seeing
the originals of hundrds of noble paintings
is the very land which saw their birth, and
amid associations and scenes of which they
are to so large a degree the expression.
Rembrandt has fascinated me indescribably
here in Holland, and in Belgium Rubens is
waiting to give me welcome. Art-taste is,
I am convinced, a plant of slow growth, but
when its roots have found a place in one's
heart and fancy, its progress is sure.
I am seeing daily, towns with their treeshadowed canals and quaint old houses and
noble churches ; charming Dutch inter" with
iors," exquisitely neat, and beautiful
family lite, open to me on every side ; the
sweet, mellow chimes of the bells go with
me all along the way ; my road lies through
wide-spreading meadows, where the sleek
and mild-eyed cattle feed, the pride of the
Dutch farmer.
It has been a constant source of pleasure
to me in the midst of my rambles to think
that I might be permitted to share with
others the impressions which these profoundly interesting and delightfully historic and
picturesque countries m >ke upon the traveler
who is permitted to tread their truly classic
soil. So deeply, so intensely has the "spirit"
of these lands affected me,- so eloquently
have the thousand historic monuments
which guided my wanderings proclaimed
thier story ; on such rare and gloriously
beautiful creations of laureled artists have I
been permitted to gaze, that I should seem to
myself to be doing violence to a thousand
precious memories if I attempted to recall
them hastily in the few moments afforded
me for writing. It were better if there were
more reverence in travel and in its recital
than one meets with in our day. Every
traveller who regards the opportunity afforded of visiting lands hoary with age and
tradition in a certain sense as a sacred
privilege, finds his experience nobly expressed in that thoughtful sonnet of the poet
Wordsworth on Bruges:
The spirit of antiquity—enshrined
In sumptuous buildings,—vocal is sweet song,
In picture, speaking; wilh heroic tongae.
And witb devout solemnities entwined—
Strikes to tbe seat of grace within tbe mind.
THK FETES OF SEPTEMBER IN BRUSSELS.
Allow me to give, in a few words, a
glimpse at tbe folk-life of Brussels, leaving
our excursion into the domain of the past
until another time—a time of more leisure
than the present—asking your kindly charity for these unavoidably nasty lines.
All Belginm may be said to be looking
forward to September, 18S0, with especial
anticipation. At this time will be celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary of the independence
of Belgium, which dates from the September
Revolution of 1830. As you are aware, this
resulted in the separation of Belgium from
Holland. In l>3l. Leopold of Saxony-Coburg was called to the throne, which is now
occupied by his son Leopold 11. During the
years of peace which have since followed,
the country has In many respects made
astonishing progress. The great national
anniversary has been that of the last daya of
September, every recurring year celebrated
with the greatest enthusiasm by the people
all over the land, and with especial brilliancy, of course, in the capital, Brussels. All
the artistic talent and ingenuity of Belgium,
which is by no means slight, will be brought
into service during the coming year to render the Fetes as splendidly impressive as
possible, and all Europe will watch with interest this imposing pageant of national festivity. Hence, to visit Brussels in September, 1879, might seem like coming a year
too soon, for the forty-ninth celebration
might naturally be expected to be as dull as
the fiftieth would be brilliant. Still, I think
a Fete in Brussels could scarcely ever be
dull, the whole atmosphere of the city is too
enlivening. And 1 must confess the series
of festivities from the 23d to the 27th were
exceedingly interesting.
Brussels, you know, is generally regarded
as a smaller edition of Paris. And certainly
there is very much here to remind one of
the brilliant French capital; and yet the
city and its life has a decided character of
its own, as indeed has the vvhoje country,
where, as some one has remarked, the " two
elements, Latin and German, are to be met
with, so happily united." Brussels is
charming, and I do not wonder that it has
become so favorite a resort of the English
who take up their residence on the Continent. As one meets with two peoples and
two languages here at every turn, the Flemish and the French, so the city itself has a
double character. There is the old Brussels,
with its narrow streets, its historic memories, its medieval architecture; there is the
new city, with its superb avenues and treeplanted boulevards, its glittering shops, its
magnificent public buildings and parks. The
Past and the Present unite in singular harmony.

center of the Cathedral, which was
heavily
draped with black and silver, rose a stately
cenotaph with mourning pall. It was an
impressive scene. The grey light of the
morning came sadly through the ancient
windows, whose colors have been deepened
and mellowed by the changing seasons of
centuries; the solemn music flooded the
long aisles and lost itself amid the lofty
Gothic arches ; hundreds of officials in their
robes of office, bands of soldiers in uniform,
officers and diplomats in glittering costume,
lighted the shadows formed by the heavy
mourning draperies ; the intoned liturgy of
the large company of the officiating priests
rose with the clouds of incense above the
altar. The Cathedral and its surrounding
squares were filled by a vast throng of sightseers. After the service, which terminated
about noon, the companies of soldiery
formed in procession and marched through
the crowded streets to the Place dcs Mar-
tyrs, in which is a monument erected to the
fallen braves, and there deposited wreaths
and garlands of immortelles.
VARIOUS FESTIVITIES.
It would indeed be quite impossible to
give anything like a detailed description of
the many and varied entertainments which
marked the week. There were free performances at different theatres, in Flemish and
French, to which the people flocked in vast
crowds. On one of the long canals near the
city a brilliant regatta look place, at which
the King and Queen of the Belgians were
present. Athletic games and various sports
attracted the people to different parts of the
city. Bands of music and various processions passed and repassed through the
streets and boulevards. The houses and
public squares were hung with the tricolor
of Belgium—red, yellow and black. A
great national concert was given, where only
the compositions of Belgian musicians were
performed. For a few days a general spirit
of merry-making prevailed, which even the
contentions which seem ever to be waged
between the Romish clergy and the Liberals
could not mar. Among the various celebrations, nothing was more interesting than the
ceremony attending the distribution of rewards and honors to those who during the
past year have rendered their names especially illustrious by reason of acts of courage, devotion and humanity. The ceremony
was most impressive. The King and Queen
and the highest dignitaries of State were
present. The vast hall was filled to overflowing by an enthusiastic throng, who welcomed the heroes of the day with tumultuous applause. The list of noble deeds and
acts of heroism here brought to the notice of
the public was one which did honor to our
humanity, and as one after another advanced
to receive the little cross or order which
testified to his bravery, one could not but
feel moved by a hearty enthusiasm. The
list was a long one, and the recipients were
of every rank and age. One or two little
children had distinguished themselves by
some especial act of courage. The simple
recital of the events brings a thrill to everyone—rescue of sufferers from conflagrations;
noble facing of smoke and flames for those
in danger; prevention of accidents to crowd-
The celebrations attracted visitors from all
parts of the country. Though I arrived a
day or two before their commencement, it
was with difficulty that I succeeded in getting a room in one of the hotels. In ISSO
a late comer will fare but poorly. The
opening ceremony was the celebration of a
requiem service in the Cathedral of St.
Michel and St. Gudule, an imposing Gothic
structure with a stalely facade, rising from
one of the heights above tbe city. There
was something peculiarly touching and appropriate in the service. Before the living
entered upon the enjoyment of their festivities, every heart turned in grateful love and
memory to those who helped to lay the
foundations of the national independence,
but who never lived to enjoy the frnits of
their labors—those who died bravely fighting
for the Fatherland. The service consisted
in the celebration of a Mass and in the rendering by the choir of a beautiful Requiem,
written expressly for the occasion. In the ed railway trains ; rescue of ships in danger

THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY,
in storm and darkness ; saving of lives from
drowning. Such scenes as this which lam
describing lift us into the highest spheres of
love and sympathy. The race has not degenerated. Every day's record of the calamities and dangers which surround us
show what possibilities of heroism there are
still in the world.
The Royal Society of Science and the
Fine Arts held on one of the closing days a
most interesting session, when various prizes
were distributed. These few facts may
perhaps give you something of an idea of
the great variety of the interesting entertainments afforded the visitor during those days.
BEFORE THE HOTEL DE VILLE.
The public Place of the city plays an
important part in history in all lands of
Western and Southern Europe. It is the
point where so many of the great festivities
and the tragedies, the joys and sorrows of
the people, have had their theatre. You
strike hfre at the heart, it may be scarred
and seared, but still the heart of History.
The 44 Place" in which the stately Hotel dc
Ville of Brussels is placed is one of the most
interesting, if in some respects one of the
saddest, spots in the old world. I am tempted here to quote a few words from a brilliant
pHge of Motley's "Dutch Republic," which
paints with one or two rapid strokes the
Place and its memories. It is at the point
where he speaks of the fate of Count Egmont nnd Count Horn, who fell victims to
Spanish tyranny :
44 The great square of Brussels had always a
striking and theatrical aspect. Its architectural
effects, suggesting in some degree the meretricious
union between Oriental and a corrupt Grecian
art, accomplished in tbe niediwvaUnidnight, have
nniiizcd the eyes of many generations. The
splendid Hotel dc Ville, with its daring spire and
elaborate front, ornamented one side of the place;
directly opposite was the graceful but incoherent
fitcade of the Brood Huia, now the last earthly
resting-place of the two distinguished victims,
while grouped around these buildings rose the
fantastic palaces of the Archers, Mariners and
other guilds, with their festooned walls and toppling gables, bedizened prolusely with emblems,
statues and quaint decorations. The place had
been alike the scene of many a brilliant tournament and of man j a bloody execution. Gallant
knights had oontended within ita precincts, while
bright eyes rained influence from all those picturesque balconies and decorated windows. Martyrs to religious and to political liberty had upon
the same spot endured agonies which might have
roused every stone of its pavement to mutiny or
softened them to pity. Here Egmont himself, in
happier days, had often borne away the priao of
skill or of valor, the cynosure of every eye ; and
hence, almost in the noon ola lite illustrated by
many brilliant actions, he was to be sent by the
band of tyranny to bis great account."
It was in this historic square that some of
the most interesting ceremonies of the Festival week of this year took place. On the
second morning of the Fetes the square was
filled with hundreds of spectators to witness
the ceremony of the distribution of prizes to
the various " Societies and Companies of
Sports' of the city. This seems to be a
remnant of some ancient custom of more
picturesque days. In the centre of the
square rose a pavilion gayly decorated, for
the judges and distributors. The morning
was gay with the stirring music of different
bunds. Tbe day was charming and the
scene most bright and animated. First
"
"
came the Royal Society of St. Sebastian,
ancient and historic company of Archers,
bearing the insignia of their order. Then,
in long line, one company after the other
devoted to the practice of some especial
game or exercise. Their banners and standards, of every hue and color, heavy with
gold, fluttering in the wind, brought to mind
the long-vanished days when the knights of
the land with their followers rode to tourney on ihe Place. After they had taken
their stand, the prizes were distributed and
the great throng dispersed. In the evening
of the same day there was a grand military
concert given on the square. It was a striking scene. Brilliant lines and festoons of
gas jets and colored lanterns lighted the
great Place as if with sunshine. The grand
Uothic facade and graceful mounting spire
of the Hotel dc Ville seemed transfigured in
the blaze of light. The square was one
wave of upturned faces, over which strains
of music floated in great flooding waves of
melody. While above all this picture, so
brilliant, its coloring deepened by the shadows of the evening and framed by the
solemn towering walls of the ancient buildings forming the square, appeared the silver
moon in the glorious bending arch of the
night. For the moment it seemed as if
another throng filled the air—as if the spirits of other ages were looking down upon
this holiday spectacle. And the vision of
the martyred dead and of the gay companies
what 1880 may have in store for the good
people of Brussels and Belgium.

P. S.—We are in the midst of Christmas
week, that great festival season for Germany, snd I write enveloped by the perfume
and fragrance of Christmas greens. I have
this year been especially struck by the
universal celebration of this anniversary.
Here it is a festival of joy, which levels all
differences of creed, of nationality, of employment ; rich and poor, the high and low,
Jew and Gentile, have in their way participated in it. It is probable that the majority
have passed over the real meaning and significance of the season.
This may be so,
but I would see in this universality of participation a suggestion of that glorious faith
which He revealed to us whose birthday we
now celebrate. The Song of the Angels,
that grandest of Christmas carols, was sung
for no particular race or time. It was for all
time, lor every race. How grandly the
music swells as the years roll on ! Each
Christmas should be to us a higher vantsge
ground. Our age calls for " More light,
more light!" Strange, when the Divine
sunlight floods the onward way. And yet
perhaps not so strange when we think how
loath we are to look unto the source of all
light. 1 saw recently in Brussels a striking
picture. It was painted with grand, tremendous strokes. The immense canvas was
for the main part dusky and heavy with
who had once shone amid these serene
ancient precincts—heroes, priests, knights,
and armed soldiery—arose before me. Was shadows, immense sombre masses of darkit fancy, or the ghostly shadows of the pass- ness and cloud. But in the center rose a
cross, bearing the form of the Divine suffering clouds?

EDITOR'S TABLE.
"Aloha!" A Hawaiian Salutation. By
Geobge Leonard Chancy.
Boston :
Roberts Brothers. 1880.
Some years ago, when conversing with a
person about some new publication respecting Polynesia, be remarked in a querulous
tone, " What! Another book ! I should
think enough had been written and printed
already." Our reply was, " The reading
world has only just begun to read the books
which will be written about Polynesia."
Since then several books have appeared relating to Polynesia, and a good half-dozen
about the Hawaiian Islands, including Miss
Bird's, Mr. Fornander's, Mrs. Brasscy's,
Judge Caton's, and now comes to us, fresh
from Boston, with the imprint of " 1880 "
on the title page, another volume, entitled
Aloha," by the Rev. George Leonard
"Chancy,
late pastor of Hollis St. Church,
Boston. This tourist, accompanied by his
wife, visited our Islands 1875-76. The volume is dedicated to the Honorable and Mrs.
H. A. P. Carter, " without whose kind persuasion" the author would not have visited
the Islands.
Tbe author, we think, has been peculiarly
happy itj the selection of a title—" Aloha,"
44
Love to you." This, he aptly remarks,
commonest and sweetest word in
"theis the
Hawaiian tongue." Dr. Anderson, in
his book on the Islands, thus writes about
the same word : " Aloha is their characteristic word. If they have not words to ex-
press some of tho great ideas, they certainly
have a word expressive of the sweetest,
richest sentiments of the human heart—
Aloha. I never wearied with the repetition,
though I repeated it thousands of times."
Mr. Chancy has certainly written a very
pleasant, racy, readable and enjoyable volume. He appears to have quietly glided
around among all classes of our Island community, observing the various phases of
human life, and viewing the natural scenery
with the eye of an artist and naturalist.
Being a New Englander and Bostonian, he
is gratified to discover a strong infusion of
good old Puritan principles in the society of
the Islands, made up of so many nationalities. "Itis a curious and pleasant thing
to see how many of the best characteristics
of the Anglo-American race havebeen transplanted and domesticated in this far-away
Kingdom. If the good old type should die
out of Mew England, 1 believe that it would
be found surviving in the descendants of the
best sett era of the Hawaiian Islands."
He takes a hopeful view of the Chinese
element, although his keen forecast of the
future gently crops out when he remarks,
44
Take care, O King, that the lean kine do
not eat up the fat ones."
We regret that our limits will not allow
us to copy many a bright, hopeful and
sparkling paiagraph falling uuder our notice
in glancing over this volume. We have not
met with a single carping or ill-natured remark in one of its 299 pages. We attribute
tbis in part to the fact that he took the word
Aloha for his key-note. The writer appears
to have found the Islands a restful place.
We think this has also been true of other
visitors who have escaped for a brief season
from professional duty in the court-room and
the pulpit. Mr. Dana, Judge Caton, Dr.
Anderson, Dr. Clark, Dr. Stone, Dr. Chancy
and others have expressed the idea that they
found the Islands a restful spot.
We can most cordially commend this
volume to the reading public, and are confident our booksellers will find a constant
sale for years to come. Mr. Chancy compliments Miss Bird most gracefully in his
introduction : " Miss I. L. Bird has written
a charming book of travel in the Hawaiian
Archipelago. If I can give.my readers half
tbe pleasure she has given me, I shall be
satisfied." We think he may be satisfied.

The habits of the American deer and the

everything relating to those lands—c. g.,
the Hawaiian Islands and Cuba. Now he
is upon a visit to Japan, and we may erelong expect interesting Papers" relating
to those islands. He was en route thither,
through San Francisco, when he most kindly forwarded this volume, which we have
perused with interest About sixty pages of
this volume relate to the Hawaiian Islands,
some parts of the same having been published in our Island papers.

Victorian Review. Vol. I. No. I.
This is a publication coming to us from
Melbourne, Victoria, and takes us somewhat
by surprise. It is a large and beautifully
printed Quarterly, with a corps of contributors worthy of a first-class Review of England or America. Our limits will not allow
us to pru.t all we should be pleased to say
in the way of high commendation. It con-
tains eleven articles, on various topics, and
having read several, we can recommend the
Review as first-class One article, entitled,
" Will?" theis Anglo-Australian Race Degenerate
most suggestive.
The wriier
views the nations of the earth from a geological standpoint. Thus writing, he remarks, "We must be prepared for an inevitable degeneration of the Anglo-Australian
stock." We regret we cannot reproduce the
whole article, and also another, " A
Coming Citizen of the World,"—viz., Chinese.
Through Whitney & Robertson and T.G.
Thrum the Review may be obtained.
The Presbyterian Review. Vol. I. No. 1.
This is a first-class Review, started by
the ablest divines and writers of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. Sound
scholarship, able reasoning, broad views and
manly discussion will characterize this
Quarterly, if we may judge what future
numbers will be from the one now lying on
our table. It is published by Randolph &
Co., of New York, for the Presbyterian Review Association.
We think many of our readers will
peruse with interest the letter we publish
from Miss Bird, written after her return to
England from her trip to Japan. Her letters
relating to our Islands have much enlightened all who are interested in this part of
the world. Often we meet with tourists
who say that they never should have come
hither but for reading Miss Bird's book.
If any of our readers are interested in
reading about the Amos of Japan, to whom
Miss Bird refers, we would refer them to
the Friend for November, 1871, containing
an article carefully prepared by Mr. Lindau,
a German gentleman and tourist, then on a
visit to Honolulu. He is a brother of the
celebrated Lindau. who now stands among
the ioremnst literary men of Germany. The
Amos of Japan hold the same relation to the
people of Japan that the North American
�Indians do to the people of America. They
were the original inhabitants of Japan.
Miss Bird's reference to our old friend
Mangero is most touching. He merits something better than neglect, for he is one of
Japan's noblest men. He gave to Japan a
transjaiion of Bowditch's Navigator, and
was the translator of Perry's Dispatches
""when Japan was opened. He was also one
of the Japanese Commissioners to observe
the German and French war. We could

Annual Report of the Executive Committee.
Whatever ohangee have passed over tbe world
daring the last quarter, tbe Honolulu Sailor's Home,
has continued onward in its career of usefulness.
Its doors have always been open and accomodations
always provided for those for whom it wss built and
others who concluded to avail themselves of its privileges. Many thousands of seamen aod others have
here found a quiet temporary resting place. Io reviewing the history of tbe Society, we notioe that
some of the original officers are living, while others
have passed away. Judge Allen, our Minister at
Washington, was the first President ; Judge Lee,
one of the Trustees : Judge Robertson another and
S. N Castle snother, while Capt. Babcock was one of
the Floating Committee. Mr Castle has been among
those of the Trustees during all tbe period of Ihe
society existence, and be is now our honored President, while the Seamen's Chaplain has always acted
as Chairman of the Executive Committee in preparing the Annual Report.
Tbe corner stone was laid by His Majesty Etmebemeha IVtb on Restoration Day, 81th of July, 1855.
We have always admired tbe address of His Majesty
on that oooasioo as peculiarly appropriate and we remember it wss written out io his own band writing,
when called for by tbe printer.
The laying of the corner atone of an edifice destined to
add to the welfareand happlneaa of Seamen is an occasion Interesting to every member of thla oommunity.
The hardships with which the Bailor contends,and the
dangera which be braves bring ua ease and aecwity. Had
he never steered hie ahipa Into our watera, Honolulu
might simply haveretained lta position aa a fishing village or become by thla time a deaerted beach. I hope the
day haa panned forany claaaof men to be valued only for
their strength, and adaptability to thepurposes of others.
The sailor, the miner, the seamstress, and even tbe slave,
for generations to come, will all have canae to bless the
Nineteenth Century. In ralalng thla Home, we endeavur
to act In accordance with the Spirit of the Age, by seeking to ameliorate the condition of a preponderating element of our foreign and a very conalderabla one of oar
native, population.
The moral wants of the aailor demand our care equally
with thoae that are phyalcel. The facilities offered to
him on ahora aa a reasonable and responsible being
should be multiform. In orderto counteract the dlaadvantages inseparable from a life at see. For hla own sake,
and tbat of every community he visits, he should ever be
found an orderlyand Intelligent member of society; Institutions of thla character will help to make him ao.
Entertaining theae feelings towards sailors, I did not
hesitate to assist in tbe ceremony of to-day, and I esteem
myself happy that my name la associated with this good

ever. It forms a cent 4 place of resort for friends
of many good enterprises, including Bible and tract
distribution. So manifest has been Ihe usefulness
of this institution that it bss never been allowed to
become encumbered with debt, and tbe community
has always most generously responded when appeals
base been mads for its support.
It should not be forgotten tbsl in the early dsys
of ths Home, representation of Government officers
among tha Trustees led to a thorough review and
remodeling of Hawaiian Laws relating to the proper treatment of seamen. Bonis years sgo, when
Ihe friends of seamen in Ibe United States desired
tbe enactment of new laws relating to seameu,
copies of our Laws and regulations were applied for,
and wben the newly framed laws were passed by the
United Slates Congress, it was manifest that hinls
at least were euggesiel by Hawaiian Laws and regulations ielating to seamen. No oandid observer can
possibly review ihe history of the Home for a quarter of a century and not acknowledge its great usefulness to seamen, strangers and others At the
present time all our Consuls send their distressed
seamen thither wben they are not under medical
treatment at the Queen's Hospital. Many of the
boarders of line have been sent hy the planters'
sgenls ; hence to close its doors and suppress its

Letter from Miss Bird.
19, Coote's Crescent, Edinburgh,
Nov. 16th, 1879.
Dear Mr. Damon: I am in your debt
for the Friend, which I always read from
the first to the last word.
*
How I wish I was going to the never-tobe-forgotten Islnnds ! Now I must tell you
about your last letter. Strange to say, I
received the Friend [in Japan] with an account of the Amos in Yezo the day before I
left for a three weeks' tour among the Amos,
and consequently it interested me exceedingly, as did these truly pathetic aborigines.
I had previously become very well acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Murray, and on returning to Tokiyo lost no time in speaking
to them about Mangero, and Mr. Murray
took a great deal of trouble to find him out,
and having done so, invited him to meet me
nt lunch. Mangero is quite an old-looking
and sad-looking man. His party is out of
power and himself out of employment, and
he lives on a plot of land at some distance
from Tokiyo. He brightened very much
when he heard of you, and especially when
r- gave him your photo and message. I
urged him to write to you, but he has nearly
forgotten English. Your thought of him
seemed to be quite a gleam of brightness in
his depressed condition, and I am very glad
that you gave me the message to him.
Others I saw who spoke of you. I spent
ten days with the Hepburns, and Mrs Hepburn said that her day in Honolulu was the
fullest and most exciting she ever spent.
1 was for a fortnight with the Gulicks, and
*
*
there 1 almost forgot that I was not on Hawaii. Mrs. Gulick, senior, was very frail,
but "the inner man" seemed " renewed
day by day,"and the influence of her piety
seems very sweetly felt by all. I saw much
of the missionary circle there and at Kiyoto, and was very much interested in the
hopeful work which your countrymen and
women are doing there, which contrasts
..strongly with much of unsuccessful though
earnest effort in other parts of Japan.
I
liked Mrs. Orimel Gulick very much. She
has the good qualities which I admired so
much in her sisters. She is much esteemed
and looked up to, as she deserves to be. I
spent seven months in Japan, and traveled
very considerably in the northern interior
and among the aborigines in Yezo. It grew
gradually upon me, and is a deeply interest-

Papeetee, Tahiti, Not. 9, 1879.
Mv Dear Mr. Damon : I write to let
you know of my arrival here. I had
a
very
rapid and pleasant voyage from San Francisco in a smart little schooner called the
Greyhound. We left on the Ist October
and arrived at Tahiti on the 29th. We had
good winds all the way, except at the Line,
where we passed through the calm regions
found there. I have taken a small house
here, and will probably remain some time
on this island. It is very beautiful and
richly wooded, and reminds me of the Sandwich Islands. The people are exactly of the
kind, open-hearted race, and very hossame

The Y. M. C. A., at its last meeting, voted that a letter of appointment be handed to
Dr. Damon, authorizing him to represent
our Association on his intended trip abroad.
The Doctor thinks that the Associations will
look on him as quite an aged young man !
Betting.—The
sentiments of the P. C.
Advertiser upon this subject should be endorsed by every Christian and moral man in
the community. Betting is a vice, and
should be treated as such. Henry Ward
Beecher speaks of this subject somewhat as
follows: "To every young man who indulges in the least form of gambling, I raise
a warning cry. Under the specious name
of amusement you are laying the foundations of gambling* It vitiates the imagination, corrupts the tastes and destroys industry, being a practice disallowed among
Christians, excluded by mere moralists, and
hateful to industrious and thriving men."
Music.—No man can of himself overcome
his propensity to evil. That power must
come from outside influences, one of the
purest of which is music. Unlike most
earthly influences, music itself speaks only
for good. From the same mouth come
blessings and cursings, but the good God
seems to have made music so that man
could by no possibility wring evil from it.
A spirit of darkness could not make an
organ express his evil thoughts for him,
while the purest heart and gentlest tongue
are often the instruments of evil. These
influences are designed by our Maker to
lure us to good, and no young man has such
innate power that he may slight them. Cultivate music, good society and those other
earthly stepping stones to an honest life
which, though not Christianity, are yet its
offspring.
The Angel of Patience.
[Translated from the German.]
A talentangel noiseless flies
From Heaven's high firmament;
To soothe all sorrowing hearts he hies,
By aod theFather sent.
His glance on all doth peace bestow.
And graceand innocence—
His presence dries the tears of woe—
The Angel of Patience.
And us this angel safely leads
Through all our griefs and cares,
While with our hearts he gently pleads,
And us for Heaven prepares.
Wben we are fainting, in despair,
He doth our fears dispel,
Helps us our hesvy cross to bear,
And makes, again, all well.
To gentle sorrow he converts
The most soul-piercing smart,
And humbles what fslse pride perverts,
Ibe erring human heart.
He makes for us the darkest hour
Again with brightness glow,
And sweetensall misfortunes sour,
Effectually, if slow.
With ours he mingles his own tears,
And all our bruises heals ;
He soothes our griefs and calms our fears,
And Heaven to us reveals.
And if, by cruel sufferings drove,
We, murmuring, ask, ■ Oh, why
Then with a smile he points above*"
To him who rules the sky.
He cannot, all at once, prepare
To wipe awsy each tear ;
His constant motto is, " Still bear 1
The place of rest is near 1"
Thus by onr aide this angel walks,
His silentaid to lend—
And, thoughhe very little talks,
He is our truest friend.

filled the Anglo-Saxon with alarm, and the
Pacific Slope echoes with the cry, " The
Chinese must go.//
Somewhat different is this arbitrary language from the popular theories of the same
people one hundred and fifty years ago,
when flooding the new world to the exclusion of the natives. Such doctrines as, no
people had a right to exclude from their territory those better able to improve the same,
were very popular among Anglo-Saxons of
that day, but it will not do for the Mongolian
of to-day—in struggling peaceably to hold
his ground—to re-hearse the cunning arguments with which the Anglo-Saxon silenced
his complaints and those of his American
cousin when he was the interloper—for, you
see, the boot is on the other ley.
What result will follow Chinese emigration and China's intercourse with the outside world, Providence alone knows. Meanwhile, if the Anglo-Saxon intends to maintain his high standing as a fitting member of
the most civilized and Christianized race on
earth, he must nccord to one and all the
rights he claims for himself.

Amsterdam, the capital of Holland,'that
quaint old Dutch city on the V, is, as every
one will say, highly interesting, even when
the clouds of damp grey mist float in from
the Zuidersee, so potent is the charm of
history and art. But those who were so
happy as to visit this city in the early days
of last September will, I am convinced,
agree with me in saying that it was absolutely and entirely delightful. This was in
part, perhaps, owing to the weather, and this
was perfect. The days were rich in golden,
mellow autumn sunshine, and the nights
crowned with silver moonlight, which seemed to rest like a blessing on tbe shadowy
old towers, the slumbertng trees and thousand winding canals of the city. I pay with
pleasure this tribute to the exceeding loveliness of these rare days; and now we enter
the city, where I fancy we shall find a more
kindly welcome, in our garb of peaceful
travelers, than had we come a few centuries ago with the clanking armor, the heavy
helmets and cruel swords of Spanish soldiers. What stormy times peaceful old
Amsterdam saw in its younger days !

The whole city (imagine it) is built on piles,

What a race of beavers
they are, these sturdy, patient Dutch ! It
would seem as if this earth of ours, with all
its firm land, might have sufficed without
this invasion upon the domain of the sea.
Think of all the glorious stretches of plain
and prairie there are left untitled and uninhabited, and then of this marshy Dutch
coast, where land has been made in the
midst of the wares and stately cities have
arisen. Surely that old Adamic curse of
work, which has ended in being a blessing,
has been fulfilled here a thousand-fold,

THE FRIEND, MARCH,
but not the place of royal residence, as the
King prefers the Hague. The city is intersected by innumerable canals, crossed by
hundreds of bridges. All this, with tire
quaint architecture*of the houses, tends to
produce a most picturesque effect. The
harbor is a forest of masts. Ships of all
sizes, and steamers little and great, under
the flags of all nations, make rendezvous
here. The wharves are a Babel of languages
and accents. Occident and Orient seem
here to meet, and the wealth of the Indies
is disclosed under this grey Northern sky.
There are odors of the East, a perfume of
spices, mingling with others less aromatic
and poetic. The colonial possessions of
Holland are so extensive and important that
the intercourse between them and the mother
country is naturally on a very large scale.
There is a remarkable staidness and solidity
about the city, which I find in no way at
variance with its picturesqueness. Here
one sees most evident traces of the proverbial
Dutch cleanliness. The exterior as well as
the internsVeems to be cleaned and scoured.
1 was especially struck by a very clever arrangement which facilitated this. This was
a species of pump, placed in a tub or bucket
of water, with which the servant standing in
the street could send a copious shower on to
the windows and house, which seemed in a
droll way of its own used to this perpetual
ablution. Houses as well as people grow to
be amphibious here! There is an especial
charm in an early morning walk through the
streets of Amsterdam. The life of the city
begins 'early and continues late. The
streets are sometimes the liveliest towards
midnight. This is astonishing, after Germany. You see scarcely any long avenues
here. All the houses, or a very large majority, face the canals, from which they are
separated by broad streets or promenades.
In the qnieter portions of the city, where
the wealthy merchants live, the canals are
shaded by long and beautifully symmetrical
rows of elms and other trees, which with the
water sparkling in the sunlight, the noble
bridges, the stately and carefully kept
facades of the houses, make a most interesting, if quiet picture. Certainly a remarkable quiet reigns here in these early morning hours. There is a delicious drowsiness
in this calm retreat, broken only now and
than as some oar cuts the green waters of
the canal. A little farther on we should find
it more animated. What a bustle and stir
along the quays. How much wealth goes in
and out of these lofty, narrow stores and
business houses, which run up, up towards
the blue sky, ending in some quaint device
at the top! They are grey with age ; some
of them have seen better days. Tbey have
been the palaces of stout and dignified
burger princes of long ago. Climb their
narrow winding stairways, dive into their
dusky, cobwebby" corners, and you would
find many a rare bit ot ancient glory—
sculptured marbles, richly carved woods and
faded tapestries. At every turn some strikingly interesting building faces you,—a
thousand historic memories fling their shadows upon your way and claim a bearing.

and children in " antique" garments, with
still a touch of Oriental brilliancy about
them'; and, above all, that indispensable
requisite of artistic confusion—dirt! I have

my limited time did not permit of my inquiring more definitely into the workings of
the Maatschappig tot Nut van't Algemeen, or Association for the furtherance of
the general good, which has its principal
bureau in Amsterdam. It was founded by
a Baptist minister in 1784, and its good
workings is felt through all Holland. Its
objects are, the raising of the standard of
popular education, the circulation of good
literature, the diffusing of knowledge generally, the promotion of good morals, the support of widows and orphans, and others

equally praiseworthy. The Seamen's Home
is a fine building, erected 1856. I spent
one evening in the brilliantly lighted Zoological Garden (one of the finest and best
arranged in Europe), where hundreds of the
good people of Amsterdam were gathered for
a concert. The friendly and family groups
under the arching trees made a charming
picture. Here I noticed that nearly every
one had tea, instead of beer, as in Germany.
1 shall always remember with pleasure my
walk home on the same evening along the
ship-crowded wharves. It was so still and
peaceful and the air so balmy that I half
fancied myself again in the tropics. The
moon shone in all its beauty, and the river
Ij, the arrowy masts of a thousand ships,
the winding canals, the fantastic bouses, the
grey towers, seemed transfigured in the silvery light.
REMBRANDT AND THE PICTURE GALLERIES OF
AMSTERDAM.
It were wiser for me, in these brief and
hastily written sketches, to avoid altogether
mentioning the subject of Dutch and Flemish art; the field is too great, too important,
in a certain sense too sacred, to be touched
upon lightly and superficially. And yet I
can scarcely walk with you through the
streets of Amsterdam without for a moment
speaking of Rembrandt, whose home was
here. At least one-half your time in visiting
the Netherlands will, I am sure, be spent in
the Picture Galleries ; they are the rightlul
glory of these little countries. To study
Dutch and Flemish art, one must come here
to the fountain-head. You may see scattered pictures of Dutch and Flemish artists
all over Europe, but it strikes me that here
alone you can rightly understand them.
You walk the streets they walked, look upon
the same faces which you see painted in
their pictures —enter, as it were, into their
very life. I can scarcely compel my pen to
19

stay within its prescribed limits. The very
mention of this subject seems like the opening of the floodgates, and the great waves
of joyous memories, of the hours and days I
spent in the compauy of Rembrandt, of
Rubens, of Potter, Franz Hals and the other
masters, rush in upon me, almost overwhelmingly. I would wish to avoid anything that might seem like sentimental
exaggeration, but I can truly say that as I
have come forth from some of these worldfamous galleries, I have with difficulty re-
frained from shouting from very joy, and
though months have now crept in between
those days and these, I feel that the inspiration and delight they were to me then
grows, like wine, stronger and sweeter with
time.
Amsterdam, as I was saying, was the
home of Rembrandt, one of the greatest
artists the world has ever known, —the
Shakspeare of painting, as Tame so rightly
calls him. He was born in Leiden about
1607, and died in Amsterdam, where he
spent the most important portion of his life,
in 1667. Everyone is familiar with his
peculiar style of painting, the contrasts of
light aod shadow, the illumination of one
particular point in a painting. You will
pardon me for giving one or two words from
Taine's suggestive pages on this artist.
They are themselves so exquisitely beautiful that they have run in my mind for days,
like music :
" Ho rendered this atmosphere palpable and
revealed to us its mysterious and thronging
population ; he impregnated it with the light of
his own country—a feeble yellow illumination
like that of a lamp in a cellar; he felt the
mournful struggle between it and shadow, the
weakness of vanishing rays dying away in gloom,
the treoMouaness ofreflections vainly clinging
to gleaming walls, the sum of that vague multitude of half darks which, invisible to ordinary
it not for the near presence of amber and
brown and dusky black shadows of unfathomable depth. It is this element of
mystery which he holds over you like a
mugician. But his power lies, most of all,
in his nearness to nature and humanity.
His paintings are, as it were, animated by
some impassioned soul! With Rembrandt's
name begins a long list of artist names which
have a world-wide celebrity. I may perhaps recall a few by name—more is here
impossible: Ruisdael, Ter Burg, Paul
Potter, Gerard Dow, Jaa Steen, Teniers,
Van der Heist. Amsterdam, with its numerous galleries, easy of access, furnishes for
the visitor, whether his Stay be long or
short, a rich and satisfying feast.
UTBECHT.
I went down by train one lovely moonlight evening to Utrecht, spent that night
there in a charming little Dutch inn, and
next day rambled about the old town. Old
indeed it is, for it is one of the old cities of
Holland, and that is saying much. In
Utrecht is a famous University,"numbering
something like 500 students. In Ecclesiastical history Utrecht has played an important role. To-day it is a charmingly fresh and
cleanly city, beautiful with blossoming gar-
dens and pleasant homes. 1 climbed up the
long winding stone stairways of the Cathedral tower, and when once at the summit
felt loath indeed to leave. The view is extensive, commanding almost all of Holland
and other provinces over the border. The
verdant landscape lay bathed in a delicious
wealth of golden autumn sunshine, varied
by beautiful groves of trees, through which
the red-tiled roofs of villages and country
homes gleamed in the noon-sunlight, intersected at every turn by winding canals and
silver streams. The suburbs of the city are
wonderfully charming. 1 rode several miles

abysa of waters. On emerging Irom this obscurlawns, and the

shower ; he felt, as it were, flashes of lightning, comfortable often luxurious mansions and
or some magical effulgence, or as myriads of villas of wealthy merchants.
beaming darts."
The finest collection of pictures in Holland is in Amsterdam, and the finest picture
of the collection is the " Night Watch" of
Rembrandt. It represents one of the ancient guilds of Amsterdam, and depicts its
members in holiday attire, and is one of the
most superb pieces of artistic coloring in
the world. The figures, life size, seem
fairly stepping out of the canvas to greet
you. The effects of light and shadow are
marvelous. In the Royal Gallery at the
Hague is a striking painting by Rembrandt,
strangely, painfully fascinating. It presents
to us a famous anatomist of that day, surrounded by an eager group of listeners,
before whom is placed a corpse, explaining
the wondrous mechanism of the human
body. Neat this is an exquisite picture, a

flood of golden light. But I must not allow
myself to specify. I know of no painter

ZAAMDAM AND PETER THE GREAT.
One could spend day after day making
excursions by steamer, by sail or foot from
Amsterdam out, and all of tbem pleasant
and interesting. There is Hoorn, Pumerende, and above all funny, neat little Brock,
which has the most evincible renown of being the cleanest place in t/ie world- Nearly all the inhabitants of this model little
nook are engaged in the making of " Edam"
cheese. The houses, most of them are picturesquely painted in white and green. Zaandam is an interesting town, only an hour or
two trom Amsterdam by boat. The view of
that city from the water in leaving was most
imposing. Everybody comes to Zaandam
to see the little log cabin where Peter the
Great lived for a number of months, when
he came to Holland to learn how the Dutch
made their ships, and worked (his rank unknown) as a common laborer, in the sweat
of his brow, on the wharves. The story is a
very fine and interesting one, and will amply repay any one who looks it up in Russian History. One of the late Queens of
Holland, a Russian Princess, bought ihe little hut and had a larger building constructed
over it, in order to protect!, from the weath-

rooms, one containing a huge fire place, the
other being the bedroom of the Czar of all
the Russias. It is visited by thousands of
people. I chanced to be in Zaandam quite
at tbe right time. It was '• Kirmess "or the
Autumn Fair. The streets were alive with
country people and filled with gayly ornamented booths, and all manner of
" shows
"
All this gay color and life was a very pleasant
addition to the picturesque town.
BY
WATER TO ALKMAAR.
My longing to see in reality, in all its
poetic charm here in Holland, what I had so
often seen in the paintings of Dutch landscapes was fullyagratified one rare afternoon
and evening between Zaandam and Alkmaar. It seemed as I stood on the deck of
the steamer as if one lovely and characteristic picture after another whs unfolded before
me. Our way lay partly on by river, partly
by broad canals. Now and then great boats
swung down the river, crowded with huge
tawny, brown sails, which rose in a stately
way against the fair and tenderly tinted sky
of the coming evening. Some of them
seemed to be the homes of entire families,
and in their way had a <;ozy, snug hole, at
least the parents nnd rosy checked children
seemed contented. Quite down to the waters edge came pretty Bnd trim little gardens, and hundreds of bouses, (all of them
wonderfully neat and orderly, and some
bearing over the gable or at the side some
pleasant and poetic name) brought the
people near to me. 1 en" homes "of thethe
family life—the gatherjoyed picturing
ings in the garden, the father with his evening pipe, the mothers and daughters at their
knitting, the boys engaged in their sports.
Far off the horizon appeared spires of village churches, stately manor, houses peeped
through the trees. Hundreds of windmills
to right, to left, of all sizes and ages, rose
like the trees of a forest along our way
This is the very Paradise of windmills.
Then came wile and glorious stretches of
meadow land, where wandered the famous

Here and there were scattered groups of laborers, though the twilight had already begun to gather, others were leisurely taking

sending us messages of welcome from the

of a shrewd obsaSrer in the Vice-ConsulGeneral of the United States at Melbourne.
In a recent report to the Department of State
at Washington, he comments on the peculiar
relation in which the colonies stand towards
the Union. They fight the Americans with
their own weapons—high duties and partiality to native industry. It may be advisable, therefore, thinks the Vice-ConsulGeneral, to come to terms with them. At
present they levy heavy taxes on all American produce—lumber, tobacco, tinned meats,
hardware, tools, etc. It would be an obvious
advantage to American manufacturers to
have these obstructive duties reduced, and
such a magnificent customer as Australia
might be beguiled into reciprocity. Australia has one staple export, her unrivalled
wool, which America is compelled to use
whether she will or not. It cannot be produced in the States, and native wool growers are not in the least benefited by the high
duty it has to pay. The Vice-ConsulGeneral proposes a bargain with Australia,
in which, for the sake of easy admission of
her wool into the States, she would favor
the consumption of American tinned meats,
tools and hardware at the Antipodes. Should
the Department of State take action on this
very plausible advice it will soon learn that
its Melbourne agent has sent it after a willo'-the-wisp. It is a fundamental condition
of self-government in every Australian
colony that no differential duties shall be
levied.

�111 X FRIEND, MARCH.
22
We had the pleasure, by a recent
mail, to receive two neatly written letters,
one from a lady aged 86, nnd the other from
a lady aged 92 both written in a style of
penmanship which would make some young
ladies in their school days quite blush. One
resides in Massachusetts and tbe other in
Kansas, to which she had just removed from
lowa, a distance of 500 miles of land travel.
What seems quite noteworthy, both referred
to Hawaiians who visited America before
the arrival of the missionaries here in 1820.
Mrs. Nelson, widow of Dr. Nelson, late
pastor of the church in Leicester, thus writes
under date of Nov. 17 :
"I have ever felt n great interest in the
Sandwich islands, having known tbe first
missionaries who went from our country to
that place. That company collected and
dined in our village before they left Thomas
Hopu stood on the steps of a dwelling-house
surrounded by the missionary group and
many villagers, and offered a prayer ; so we
took leave of them. On the 15th of October
last I crossed the threshold of my ninetysecond birthday. Shadows have followed
the sunshine, but I have had more lights
than shadows in my pilgrimage. I have had
a pleasant journey. Though the billows
swell, we will trust the pilot that can carry
us safely to the desired shore—the haven of
rest."
Our other correspondent in Kansas, thus
writes :
" I have always kept the mission to the
Sandwich Islands in mind more than any
other, having had a niece there, and all the
circumstances of its first beginning being
fresh in mind. Henry Obookiah having
lived in my sister's family, and I occasionally visiting there, made lasting impressions."

1880.
before him, intending to read and make his
memoranda as he goes along; but hour after
hour slips by, and when the lamp is burning
low, and the fire is dying out, and the book
has been read from back to back, the critic
rouses himself to the discovery that he has
not made a single pencil-mark on the margin
or on the blank paper which he so conscientiously placed upon his desk. The fact is,
Miss Bird visited such extraordinary scenes,
and accomplished her travelling in such an
extraordinary fashion, especially for a lady,
that she almost takes our breath away, and

she tells and the pen nnd ink pictures or
word paintings which she gives, with keenest
zest, and in the most uncritical fashion
possible.
Miss R ird certainly is not a lady to be
satisfied with a beat in a first-class carriage
or a Pullman's car. She did the greater
part of her journey in the Rocky Mountains
on horseback, sitting astride her saddle like
a man, wearing a dress (no doubt a graceful
one, although it got almost worn to pieces
before she had done with it) which she had
had made for her and had used in the
islands of the Pacific, and having no company but that of her horse and of such acquaintances, often of the wildest and rough
est kind, as chance and the exigencies of
travel compelled her to pick up. She found
her way in a truly marvelous manner across
vast and sometimes trackless wastes ; she
pressed on, now through blinding snow and
frozen rain which caused the blood to start
when it struck the face, and then through
blazing, torturing, sickening heat; she forded innumerable streams, lakes and rivers,
sometimes crossing over on ice and dropping
into tbe ice-cold water when half-way over,
and then having to ride on with benumbed
limbs throuch fierce cold and frost for hours
before she could find the rudest shelter or
the roughest food; she slept generally on
hay or straw, and was fortunate when she
could get the coarsest blankets, while the
wind drove freely through the open chinks
of the log hut in which she had found
refuge, and in the morning she had to sweep
the snow or mud from the floor before she
could complete her toilet; her food was
often not only of the plainest kind, but sometimes of the scantiest in quantity; once the
A Lady in the Rocky Mountains.*
Miss Isabella L. Bird is already known to
a considerable and appreciative public by her

book which abundantly testifies to her enthusiastic love of traveling adventure and
her very exceptional powers of vivacious

Colorado of whom Bret Harte has given us
such vivid sketches, and whose reckless dissipation, extravagant eccentricities and
strange inconsistencies, in which a daredevil rascality is often blended with a certain simplicity and nobleness of nature,
make them seem, to stay-at-home readers,
like creatures of fiction rather than of real
life.
It is fair to mention, however, that, writing still of Colorado, Miss Bird goes on to
say : "There is a manifest indifference to
the higher obligations ofthe law,'judgment,
mercy and faith;' but in the main the
settlers are steady, there are few flagrant
breaches of morals, industry is the rule, life
and property are far safer than
and Scotland, and the law ot**universal
respect to women is still in full force."
On the last mentioned point Miss Bird's
testimony is repeated and emphatic, and
reflects much honor upon the population
through which she passed and amongst
whom she lived under such very singular
conditions, —traveling alone, without arms,
and altogether in a way which must have
struck even those most remote from the
ordinary currents of civilization as somewhat odd.
During all her strange adven-
tures and rencounters, she met, she tells us,
with " nothing but civility, both of manner
and of speech," except in a solitary instance,
which, however, was not a serious one. '• I
have seen," she writes in her last letter,
"a great deal of the roughest class of men,
both on sea and land, during the last two
years, and the more important 1 think the
mission' of every quiet, refined, self-respect'ing
woman, the more mistaken 1 think those
who would forfeit it by noisy self-assertion,
masculinity, or fastness. In all this wild
West ihe influence of woman is second only
in its benefits to the influence of religion,
and where the last unhappily does not exist, the first continually exerts its restraining
power."
Midnight Gathering at Tapiteuea.–
We have received a letter from the Key. E.
T. Doane, who sailed in the Morning Star.
It is dated July 9th, while the vessel was
cruising among the Gilbert Islands. He thus
writes : " It was pleasant to ' come to' under
the lee of the island. 1 took the Captain's
gig and pulled in with a native or two over
the covered flats, and reached the native
teacher's house—Moses. It was near midnight. Natives, as soon as they heard of
our arrival, spread the report and came rushing together, having put on their Christian
dresses—white shirts for the men and calico
dresses for the women. Each came bringing a cocoanut full of native molasses. A
beautiful incident was this, for somewhere
or somehow the Lord had touched their
hearts, and they were more willing to give
than receive. It was not long ere we had n
large company, all seated on mats and quite
decorous. Do you know bow wild these
Gilbert Islanders are ? But here, at midnight, we sang and prayed together. ' There
is a Happy Land ' was the melody we sung.
There, on ftbat wild sand-beach, there was
singing ana praying to a late hour."

In looking over a number of the
Chicago Y. M. C. A. Watchman, we see
notices of the Young Women's and the

are marching at quickstep.
The time seems to have come when
branch y. M. C. Associations on a small
scale could be started with advantage ut
points on the other islands—say Kohala and
Wailuku. The present influx of strangers
would give such Associations work to do,
and work done insures life to any society.
A small reading room could be started and a
committee appointed to visit the sick, if
nothing more. Our Y. M. C. A. has at
least a member in each of the above localities. Let them consider this suggestion.
Some thirty years ago, the pastor of
the Bethel, one Sabbath morning, while on
the way to the chapel, invited a young
whaleman he met on the street to attend
service with him. The boy did not attend,
but after thirty years, coming back here as
a lieutenant on an American ship of war,
called upon the pastor, and recalling the
long-forgotten circumstance, said that he
had come to apologize for not accepting his
invitation, which he had never forgotten,
and the refusal of which had caused him uneasiness sufficient to keep the otherwise
trivial occurrence fresh in his memory for
the past thirty years.

during the past month adds still
further to the long list of evilsresulting from
strong drink. " Look not thou upon the
wine when it is red, when it giveth his
color in the cup. At the last it biteth like
a serpent and stingeth like an adder."
Many of humanity have fallen through wine
since these words were uttered, and many
more are yet to fall. It seems almost idle
to say to young men, beware ! Experience,
though black and bitter, seems the only
teacher that the majority will listen to, and
then because they cannot do otherwise.

The Library and Reading-Room Association.—After
the many degraded and degrading sights and sounds that one meets
with in parts of Honolulu of an evening, it
is a pleasant relief to step into the welllighted room of this Association, on the
second floor of Williams' brick building,
there to take a view of the other side of
the question. The Library, thanks to recent
donations, now numbers over 1,000 volumes.
Some fifty different periodicals and papers
are spread out on the different tables, and
the members number over two hundred. The
number of persons who step in to read during the evening averages between 10 and
15, while others take their reading matter

One member lately come among us
has said that he thought he would have retreated from this place long ago had it not
been for the Reading-room, and the general
sentiment is that it is a step in the right direction.
A Fair may be held some time during the
coming months for the benefit of this, the
public's adopted child, when all are expected
to do the fair thing. Any who are hindered
from doing their share in this manner might
help as much and more by a donation of
books to the Library.

To the Y. M. C. A.of Honolulu :
Dear Brethren 1 was very much interested in an account recently given me by a
seaman about the Sandwich Islands. He
gave me the name of Mr. Damon as the
missionary. Mr. Damon may or may not
remember him—William M. Taylor.
1
dropped a line to our city missionary, T. R.
Dennison, asking the full name of Mr.
Damon, and he called and gave me some
copies of The Friend, of which one page, I
observe, is conJucted by you. Now, I
should like very much to put The Friend
regularly upon our Association readingtable and to advertise it as one of the attractions to our rooms—a paper from the far-off
Sandwich Islands. 1 desire to keep my
membership posted on what is going on
abroad in our line.

Give my hearty God-speed to Mr. Damon
and accept it for yourselves.

THE FRIEND,
APRIL. 1. IBSO.
Spiritualism has been brought again
into prominence before the public by this
season's iVlonday Lectures of Rev. Joseph
Cook. He does not appear to have originated any more satisfactory explanation of the
phenomena that have been described tlmn
others who have preceded him in this field
of investigation. He admits, more distinctly
than some others have done, a possible unknown force as at work in producing the
various phenomena of table-tipping, lifting,
rapping. But like those of his predecessors
who have retained their good sense while
trying to find out what is the modicum of
truth in the midst of a mess of trickery,
superstition, inaccuracies and credulity, he
does not acknowledge departed spirits of
deceased friends or notabilities as originating these curious phenomena. Rev. Mr.
Frear preached on this topic in Fort Street
Church one Sunday last month. He took
the ground that it was diabolismrather than
spiritism which was to be feared. He regarded as a species of blasphemy the overweening curiosity which prompts some
people to open doors because they are shut,
so far as this whole connected series of phenomena and beliefs may be regarded as an
attempt to pry into the mysteries of the unseen and the future, which Almighty Wisdom and Love have not disclosed to human
weakness.
Elder J. G. Hook has been a sufferer
from lung and head troubles since his arrival here, but is now hoping to rejoice soon
in complete recovery of health and strength.

The arrival of the "Morning Star"
so early in the season has given opportunity
for very thorough repairs. A new foremast
has been put in, and almost entirely new
figging- Some alterations are to be made
in the forward cabins, so as better to accommodate the Hawaiian passengers. The
changes made last year were great improvements on the old arrangements for the ship's
crew. Orders have been received to fit her
out for a ten months' voyage, but it is
doubtful whether her voyage will extend
next year beyond Ruk" (or Truk, as the
natives would appear to call it). Capt. Bray
surveyed some part of this large lagoon, and
found many entrances where the charts
were marked as barrier reefs without open-
RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 39
ings.
Not to weary you with .anything like a
prolonged description of the different cities
which lay along my route. I will just sketch
briefly a few of the more interesting points
as my memory recalls them If 1 remember
rightly, my last letter ended just as our
steamer was nearing, in the waning twilight, the famous, valiant old town of Alkmaar, whose Cathedral towers rose dark and
shadowy against the dull red ot the evening
sky. After the busy und crowded streets of
Amsterdam, those of Alkmaar seemed peaceful indeed in the hush of the coming night.
It is a singularly picturesque place—perhaps the most so 1 saw in Holland. Its
especial historical importance arises trom the
brave defence made by its inhabitants
against the Spanish in 1573. The old ramparts have been transformed into the most
beautiful of promenades, shaded by trees of
luxuriant growth, whose leaves, tinted by
the early frosts, fell in a shower of gold
with every passing breeze. It struck me as
being one of the most delicious loitering
places one could well desire Here there
Punahou School closed last Tuesday
for the Easter holidays, if so churchly a
term can properly be applied to its short recess. We understand that so far only one
of the assistant instructors has consented to

now of Jamaica Plain, has shown his appreciation of the importance of this institution
by sending on a donation of Sl,OOO to its
corporate funds. We hope that others, old
patrons or alumni of Oahu College, will remember its needs and help it now to take
the new start it needs to meet the increasing demand in this community for a school
of high order on a popular basis.
The new Library Association numbers
already over 1,100 volumes on its
shelves. It has recently put up shelving
that will accommodate 3,500 books. Any
present residents of these Islands, or former
residents still retaining an interest in the
prosperity of this community, will do a
kindly act to help forward this enterprise
by a donation of books or money. Many a
poor fellow will be kept out of trouble by
finding open to him so pleasant a place of

After one has become accustomed to long
journeys by sea or land, there is something
almost confusing in traveling in such a
small country as Holland. You feel as if
there is scarcely time to breathe between the
different cities. You leave one depot to be
whirled into another, and you must be on
the alert to keep your impressions of different places from growing dim and uncertain.
Holland is covered with a network of railroads, and swift-flying trains have taken the
place of the old-fashioned canal boats, which
enabled the traveler to leisurely watch the
green meadows and picturesque landscapes
which have here delighted artists for centuries.

attention, and the time could be given to the
outer world, of which the work of the most
famous painter is but a reflex. Canals cat

wish, and even at this late season balconies
and windows were bright with flowers. The
morning air was filled with the music of
bells, which guided me to the Cathedral, a
grey, antique affair, built long before the
Spanish guns thunderedabout the city walls.
In fact, there is such an ancient atmosphere
about it that in some magical way it seems
to transform whatever comes within its
shadow. I half fancied I had stepped back
into some long-vanished century. I found
myself at first almost alone in the vast interior, with its lofty white arches and towering organ witb painted front. Stately, awkward pews rose in impressive rows on each
side and in front of the pulpit with its heavy
sounding board. It seemed as if the worthies of other days, in their white ruffs and
stiff black coats, would soon come in and
open the ponderous leathern-covered Bibles,
with their heavy clasps and dusty borders,
which looked as if they had been closed for
centuries. But while thus waiting, face
after face rose into sight, whether from tbe
past or present 1 scarcely know. Figures
bowed with the years reverently entered and
noiselessly took their places. Then came a
tapping of many feet on the cold stone paving of the long aisles, and the most charm-
ing of processions appeared. First the girls
from the orphan asylum, I think, just over
the way, theirround rosy faces bordered by
the daintiest little white caps, which their
grandmothers might have worn, and their
shoulders covered with regular white capes,
relieving the sombre blackness of their
mourning dresses beneath. Then followed
the boys with their masters. It was a picture which an old Dutch painter would hi. ye
delighted in. It seemed as if it required all
the solemnity of the place, the stately demureness of the straight-backed pews, and
the ever-watchful eyes of the teachers to
keep all this fresh young life in order, which
was forced to content itself with twinkling
in a score ofroguish eyes, dimpling in redstained cheeks, and smiling shyly out on
row after row of childish lips. Then the
organ notes pealed forth and the service
began. Sometimes 1 ask myself if, after all,
it wasn't a dream of old Holland I had
under the white Cathedral arches in Alkmaar. The whole country in the neighborhood of Alkmaar, for miles around, is most
interestingly historic. To the west was
once the Castle Egmont, belonging to the
family of that name, so famous in the history of the Netherlands. Crossing the long
stretches of rich, low-lying meadow lands,
you come to the grey sand dunes" of the
"
coast, near which many a hardfought naval battle has taken place.
I enjoyed a little excursion by train to
the far northern end of the Dutch peninsula,
to see some of the enormous piers which
have been erected here as a defence against
the inroads of the stormy North Sea. It was
a mild autumn afternoon ; the grey morning
mists had lifted like a curtain, and the sea
murmured softly, crooning its old, old song.
It is at this northern point, commanding the
entrance to the Zuider Zee, that the Dutch
Government has built great wffarves and
docks and erected important fortifications.
But the principal interest of the region is
the gigantic mole, which extends far along
the coast, constructed of huge blocks of Nor-
1880.
granite, and from its huge proportions seeming to have been constructed
rather by Titans than men Pleasant as it
is to wander along its summit in the genial
sunshine, watching the lap of the quiet
waters at its weedy base, it must be grandly
more impressive to see it besieged on some
November night by the white and savagely
seething lines of huge breakers, which rise
here like mountains. At its farthest end
1 found a superb 'iron lighthouse, recently
constructed. To mount to its summit is
work almost enough for one day. But it
will pay you I think—the view landward
and seaward, and the chat with the garrulous, good-humored old keeper, if you are
fortunate enough to find him still there. He
is a fine old specimen, as strong and true in
his way, I fancy, as the granite mole which
curves like a huge bow below. You see his
father—years, years ago—went down in the
cruel white foam just in front of the little
fishing village he is pointing out to us, so
that the son seems to have felt it as something like a duty laid upon him to rescue all
who were in danger of sharing a similar
fate, I could scarcely help envying this
grey-haired, kind-eyed old man—not the
medals and orders on his broad breast, but
the memories of brave and gallant deeds
which seem to encircle him like a halo. Just
off the coast could be seen, now that the
water was low, the tops of the masts of a
steamer which went down here one dark
night a year or two since. But no matter;
the people,all that frightened, panic-stricken
company, were saved. Our friend battled
for their lives like a hero, God bless him !
And now, in his old age, tie still watches the
grey sea with an eagle eye, and sweeps the
horizon to watch the coming of some new
gleaming sail or wreath of smoke. To his
left lies the open sea j to his right the misty
expanse of the Zuider Zee; not far away
the island Texel, with its myriad sea-birds;
to the south the fairest of Dutch landscapes.
What an old familiar sound there is in
the names of the cities which now lie along
our route —Harlem, Leyden, the Hague,
wegian
Rotterdam, Delft. It may have been the
Dutch blood in my veins, I scarcely know,
but in some way or other I felt as if I were
coming home again as these cities spoke
their welcome to me.
Harlem is a charming city—a picture in
itself. (If you want a quiet, delightful little
inn, exquisitely neat and sweet and clean,
but in no way stately and grand, do go to
Dc Gouden Leeuw," the Golden Lion.)
"Those
terrible old Spaniards meet you
everywhere in your travels in Holland. But
what superbly brave men and women they
found ready to face them and the Inquisition here at the North. The very bare recital of the brave history of Harlem stirs and
moves one like martial music. You may
remember that the city was besieged seven
long, weary, dreadful months by Frederick
of Toledo, son of the cruel Duke of Alba.
You may recall some of the feats of glorious
courage of the citizens,—how even the
women, led by the valiant Kenan Hasselour,
mounted the ramparts, and over the dead,
bodies of their husbands, their brothers,
their lovers, fought for their homes, their
children, their virtue. Let no one call their
work in vain, even though Ihey were forced
last to yield ; those seven months make
me of the most inspiring pages of history.
Though those bloodthirsty Spaniards did
butcher the Commandant, the soldiery, hundreds and hundreds of citizens, the clergy,
yet they were not in the end the victors, but
the vanquished a few years later, as every
child knows. Strange, after this baptism of
blood, this wild, almost demoniacal fury of
struggling hosts, this season of famine, of
'siege, of murder, thit the city ever could
settle down to a golden age of peace and
prosperity and grand art development; but
such was the case. Here you see in the
picture galleries the finest pictures of Franz
Hals. The city itself is regarded as one of
the handsomest of all Holland, and is most
at
s
carefully kept. The most interesting point
is naturally the great Square, where stands
the Cathedral and many antique and picturesque buildings. On the Place is a fine
bronze statue of Coster, whom the Dutch
believe to have been the inventor of the art
of printing.
The Cathedral is rendered
doubly interesting by the splendid organ,
which was placed there in the last century,
and was formerly regarded as the finest in
the world. I chanced, fortunately for me,
to be there at one of the organ concerts,
which are given once or twice a week.
Since listening to the wonderful music of the
great Fribourg organ, in Switzerland, I
think I have heard no organ music which
has so moved me. It seemed to fill the
great cathedral with hosts of melodious
spirits, with the anthems of unseen angel
choirs.
Recently, most interesting discoveries
have been made in the Cathedral. Beneath
the white stucco and wash on the pillars
have been found rich and elaborate paintings, and these are now being carefully
restored. In one wall of the choir is an
iron cannon-ball, which dashed through one
of the high windows during the Spanish
siege, and ever since then has been left in
this peaceful resting place—a far better fate
than it deserved.
In visiting Holland, one is struck by the
great fondness of the Dutch for flowers.
Their gardens are roost beautiful, and nowhere more so than in and about Harlem.
Here are some of the most famous flower
establishments of the world, which furnish
Europe, and even America, with bulbs and
seeds. In fact, flower-culture and production
are here carried on on a scale which is
something perfectly surprising to one visiting these great gardens. Here you see not
simply beds of flowers, but fields of hyacinths, of lilies, of pinks, of tulips. Late ss
it was in the season, there were still brilliant autumn flowers in bloom, some of rare
and choice varieties. One of these flower
firms, that of Krelage & Son, publishes
yearly an immense catalogue of their plants.
They count their varieties by hundreds,
perhaps thousands. The " Tulip Mania" of
Holland, in 1636 and 1637, was a most
singular matter. Rare and especially beautiful varieties of tulips were bought for fabulous prices. Some of the prices are
astonishing.

EDITOR ABROAD-No. 1.
After a pleasant passage of eight days we
arrived safely in San Francisco. Here we
have spent nearly two weeks, and are making our preparations to start on our overland
journey on tbe Bth of March. The winter
months are reported as having been exceedingly rainy, cold and unpleasant; but we
have been highly favored in having a clear
sky and most charming weather. It has
been pleasnnt to meet many old friends and
acquaintances. The daily papers report
much uneasiness and excitement consequent
upon the adoption of the new Constitution
and the anti Chinese agitation. It is asserted their combined result is depressing to
business and driving capital out of the State
for investment elsewhere to the amount of
$30,000,000.' It is believed that this agitation has about culminated, and reports come
from Washington to the effect of a remodificiition of the Burlingame Treaty ; but that
the Chinese are to be driven out of the
State and country no one believes for a
moment, although there may be a limit to
the numbers allowed to immigrate hither.
During our brief sojourn we have enjoyed
the privilege of attending several churches
and meeting many ministers of the Gospel,
and among them several who have visited
the Islands. Others express a desire to go,
and probably Rev. Dr. Hemphill will go
down in the May steamer.
On the Sabbath following our arrival, the
funeral of Mrs. Green was attended, and the
following notice of the same we copy from
the Hebrew of March 3d :
The funeral of the young Mrs. Green,
the" untimely death of whom in the Sandwich Islands we noticed in our last issue,
took place Sunday last. Seldom has there
been witnessed such a deepfelt sorrow as displayed by the many who came to pay the
last tribute of respect to the deceased lady.
Among the. mourners were the children (to
whom the late Mrs. Green had been a voluntary, kind teacher) of the Synagogue
Sherith Israel. The funeral sermon, delivered at the grave by Rev. Dr. Vidaver,
was most eloquent, and deeply affected all
present."
Our visit to Mills Seminary and Oakland
was exceedingly pleasant. " The Island
girls" form an important element in the
school. On one evening while there, we
listened to a most charming lecture on the
" Reminiscences of Authors," by Mr. Bartof the Bulletin. He discoursed most

School of girls gathered from among the
lowest of the inhabitants of ihe city of San
Francisco. We are happy to learn that
there are many earnest Christian workers
among the various cburc'ies 1,1 i!ns riiy.
They are doing a good and noble work. An
old friend whom I knew in former years has
been doing a good work among the lads of
the city. He has induced some 3,001) to
sign the following pledge ;
•' God helping me, 1 will hereafter abstain
from the u»e of all intoxicating beverages,
beer, wines, cider or tobacco. Nor will 1
indulge in profane swearing, stock-gambling,
lying, stealing, adultery or slandering."
We coifld add much more about efforts
now being made to reform the wayward and
assist the needy. We heard the Rev. Dr.
Noble preach an excellent sermon on the
" Sins of the City," and he- is to preach
again upon the " Needs of the City."
Although we enjoy the making of new
acquaintances and reviving old friendships,
yet we do not forget those whom we have
left in our Island home, who rejoiced with
us in days of prosperity and so tenderly
sympathized with us in our sorrow. May
peace and prosperity ever attend them.
A Remarkable Indian Mission.
BY PROF. GF.O. MOOAR, D. D., OAKLAND, CAL.
Attention has lately been called to the
condition of the Indians in Alaska Territory.
Ten years and more have gone since the
United States took possession of the country. Not until within two years past was
anything done for the moral, and very little
for the political, welfare of the population.
The Presbyterians have now in operation a
religious and educational work at Port
Wrangle. Mrs McFarland, who conducts
it deserves the warm recognition which
she is beginning to receive. The number,of
Indian and Aleutian population in the territory is estimated at 110,000.
It is exceedingly interesting to note, in
various reports which have been made by
government officials, the warm praise accorded to an Indian mission «nd colony in
Metluketla, in the neighboring region of
British Columbia. Some three years ago,
while our American Deputy Collects was
at Port Wrangle, a fleet of eight canoes hove
in sight. It was certified that the canoes
came from the British town, and were loaded
with goods worth several thousand dollars,
which were bought at this missionary town,
and were on the way to the Alaska Indians
for sale. A clear case o( smuggling, thought
the collector, and gave chase; but in vain. A
smuggling missionary! That sounds rather
unpleasant. But it is admitted that matters
have been so loosely attended to there that
free trade has never been regarded as a
crime. On the same page which records the
chagrin of the officer of our revenue, is paid
the most decided compliment to the founder
and leader of this Indian colony. The career and success of this missionary are full
of interest and suggestion. Some twentyfive years ago, a gentleman was walking

THE CATHEDRAL AT ANTWERP.
In Antwerp the writer's thoughts and
then his steps turn first and naturally to the
beautiful Cathedral of Our Lady," whose
presence in the most "ordinary of cities,
would have, I feel, a certain sanctifying influence, and here amid so many artistic and
historic treasures, seems but to heighten
and increase their beauty and charm. One
grows unconsciously to long for the restful
presence of these grand old cathedrals as
he becomes more and more used to the worn
paths of travel on the continent. They
grow to have a certain singularly tender and
welcoming charm after the rust of travel,
the confusion and distraction of arrival.
One seeks them out perhaps in his loneliness, in his strangeness, amid thousands of
unknown and uncareing faces, and covered
with the dust of wearisome travel, finds a
soothing- solace in their hush and calm, in
their guardian watchfulness; is lifted into
companionship with all high and noble
thoughts by the perfect beauty and symmetry of his surroundings, and the sacred
and lofty symbolism which they express.
Those who have once felt their " benediction " can never wholly lose its comforting
power.
The Cathedral of Antwerp enshrines the
most beautiful painting of Antwerp's most
highly gifted artistic son, the " Descent from
the Cross," by Rubens. After the morning
service, opportunity is afforded visitors of
seeing the picture. One is almost startled
and pained at first by the transformation of
the sacred precinct into a picture gallery.
A little army of copyists are ranged in front
of the painting, busily working on their reproductions of the unattainable original.
Beautiful as are some of these copies, even
the unexperienced eye must detect the inferiority of their coloring to that in the
work of the Masters. One of the artists
touched and interested me in a peculiar
way. Though he was only a copyist, for the
time, he worked with tbe zeal, with the
tender genius of some old cloisterer while
illuminating some rare and treasured manuscript, in the middle ages. For the moment
the glorious arches, the mighty Cathedral

walls seemed to close about us, narrowing to
n convent cell, the present faded out of sight
and hearing, and one seemed to catch the
sad, mellow chiming of the Angelus " in
the still air, luminous with the dying glory
ot some rare Italian day, calling our artistmonk from his work to the higher office of
devotion. It must have been his priest-like
garb, tbe worn and ascetic face, the rapt
devotion to his work, the light which glowed
in his great penetrating eyes, which produced the illusion. It must, as you see,
have been a face or form more than ordinary
which could have kept us so long from looking at the picture, which we had come to
see. But this is the power which humanity
possesses superior to art, however great it
may be. In one sense there is a more fascinating charm in the humblest human being, against whom the world unceremoniously jostles, than in all the Christs and
Madonnas that have ever been painted or
carved. Perhaps it would be better for us
if we thought less of the dried oils on the
painter's canvas and more of the warm,
rich blood of humanity which flows within
and about us! Rubens certainly studied
humanity, undoubtedly quite too often in
its grown form, but in his better moods
-
with grand effect. The
" Descent from the
Cross," before which we are standing, is his
master piece. It can scarce I fail to be
familiar to all through the countless reproductions which exist of it. Rubens certainly
possesses little of sound mysticism in bis
art. Many find even his " Descent from
the Cross unpleasant and revolting. On
the contrary, it fascinated me strangely by
its intense realism, by its strength, by its
grand vividness. The actors were substantial human beings, it is true, and so should
they be. The Christ is not the worn and
emaciated figure of Byzantine art, but a
strong, heroic figure, imposing in death.
The main light of the picture falls upon tbe
person of the crucified Christ. The
wounded and bleeding form is being gently,
reverently, tenderly lowered from the cross
and received by loving hands. There is
the Virgin Mother in her grief and sorrow,
A|ary Magdalene, with repentant and adoring face bathed in tears, John, the beloved
disciple," and above all the strong, vigorous,
muscular form of Peter, raised above the
cross, and in a characteristic way, shining
and yet full of exquisite tenderness, aiding
in this last service of love. The gaze of all
present is centered upon this great central
figure, and it is the gaze of loving devotion
and tearful but confiding trust There are
no mocking, hostile faces there, no stern and
"
"
unrelenting soldiery. Tbe enemy sought
His life ; the friends cherish with boundless
tenderness the dead and wounded body of
their Lord. It is an absorbing, marvelous
picture, and moves one so deeply that the
manyother paintings with which the shrines,
altarsand walls of the Cathedral are adorned
seem to make but little impression afterwards.
The Cathedral itself is a worthy casket
for so rare a treasure, it is in most beautiful gotbic style, and its sacred twilightgloom is lighted through lofty windows
whose ancient colors still glow with jeweled
radience. This now still and hushed interior has been witness to wild and turbulent
1880.
scenes.
The Netherlanders, cruelly oppressed and harrased by the savage cruellies
of Philip, at last rose in wild revolt, and the
people ravaged the churches, destroying the
most precious works of art, venting on ihe
images the hatred which they felt towards
their unfeeling ruler. The fury of the
iconoclasts, or image-breakers, lasted four
days, and the destruction they wrought in
that short time is well nigh incredible. In
Brabant and Flanders they destroyed over
400 churches. In Antwerp their destructive
rage reached its acme. Motley, in his history, sketches most vividly their attack
upon the Antwerp Cathedral : " And now,
as the shadows of night were deepening
the perpetual twilight of the church, the
work of destruction commenced. Instead
of vespers, rose the fierce music of a psalm,
yelled by a thousand angry voices. It
seemed the preconcerted signal for a general
attack. A band of marauders flew upon the
image of the Virgin, dragged it forth from
its receptacle, plunged daggers into its inanimate body, tore off its jewelled and em-
broidered garments, broke the whole figure
into a thousand pieces, and scattered the
fragments along the floor. A wild shout
succeeded, and the work, which seemed delegated to a comparatively small number of
the assembled crowd, went on with increased
celerity. Some were armed with axes,
some with bludgeons, some with sledgehammers ; others brought ladders, pulleys,
ropes and levers. Every statue was hurled
from its niche, every sculptured decoration,
however inaccessible in appearance hurled
to the ground.. Indefatigably, audaciously
endowed, as it seemed, with preternatural
strength and nimbleness, these furious iconclasts clambered up the dizzy heights,
shrieking and chattering like malignant
apes, as they tore off the slowly matured
fruit of centuries. A very beautiful piece
ot architecture, the ' repository ' as it was
called, decorated the choir. It was shattered
into a million pieces A troop of harlots,
snatching waxen tapers from the altars,
stood around the destroyers and lighted
them at their work. Nothing escaped their
omnivorous rage. They desecrated seventy
chapels, forced open all the chests of treasure, covered their own squalid attire with
the gorgeous robes of the ecclesiastics,
broke the sacred bread, poured out the sacramental wine into golden chalices, quaffing
huge drafts to the beggars health ; burned
all the splendid minerals and manuscripts
and smeered their shoes with the sacred oil,
with which kings and prelates had been anointed. In a space of time wonderfully
brief, they had accomplished their task. Art
was trampled in the dust, but humanity deplored no victims."
Beautiful and richly adorned as is the
interior to-day of the Cathedral, the exterior
is not less so. The Emperor Charles Y.
used to say that tbe spire deserved to be
placed in a treasure-casket of its own. One
can scarcely conceive of any more perfect—
at once so daring and audacious in its upward flight, and yet so marvelously, so exquisitely graceful and delicate in effect. I
found it the kindest, the wisest of guides
while in Antwerp, wherever I might go,
looking up I could see this glorious, arrowy
structure, now near, now distant, and knew
in which direction I must go. Fragile,
fairy-like, a faint vision of beauty in the air
as it is when the night gathers about it, and
the silver stars, g leu in through its carvings
and leafy blossoming traceries and ornaments; it grows most real and tangible as
you mount ibe hundreds of steps which lead
to the summit. The view is exceedingly
interesting. On a fine day one can, with
his glass, sweep nearly all Belgium, looking
off to Breda, to Brussels, to Mechlen and
Ghent. But one is especially attracted by
the city, which lies spread out before him at
his feet.
SAUNTERINGS IN ANTWERP !
This is a delightful city for one who has
the chinning gift of catching with pencil or
brush " bits of beauty" in his daily walk, it
must be I think, loved by artists. You come
home from your ramble with a perfect gallery of pictures which have cost you nothing,
and of which no one can rob you, without
knowing just how, and you find yourself in
front of the massive and stately Hotel dc Ville,
dating from the 16th century. About you,
standing in the open place, rise quaint and
picturesque homes, many belonging to ancient guilds, and erected several hundred
years ago. In all directions run narrow
streets bordered by smaller inlervening
buildings, even in their decay, keeping acertain dignified air, as if conscious of their
long history. In these same busy streets,
now full of friendly faces, there were sometimes, years ago, bitter, terrible struggles for
life, when the Spaniards murdered the citizens, and the stones were red with innocent
blood. The same sweet-toned bells which
we hear to-day chiming the hours in their
mellow melodious way, far up above us in
the blue of the afternoon-sky, chimed as
sweetly then above the savage contest raging below.
The wharves of Antwerp are busy indeed. The river Scheldt is here filled with
steamers and sailing ships of all kinds. The
going and coming is endless. Sailors from
all parts of the world are here. It is a
Babel of languages. In the middle ages, too,
Antwerp was a great commercial city.
Under the reign of Chajjes V„ it was
the most imposing
of the world,
even surpassing Venice.
After protestant Holland, the change to
Belgium, with its churches hung with paintings, gleaming with tapers and perfumed
with incense ; with its black-robed priests,
with its constant reminders of the Catholic
faith, is something remarkable. One fancies
himself transported to Italy. The streets
are here and there rendered strangely picturesque by some carved and colored groups
of the " Holy Family," of the Madonna and
Christ, of the "Good Shepherd." A church
door stands open, you catch the music of a
chant in passing; you see some worn and
aged face lifted in prayer; the smell of incense reaches you. The churches are numerous—to all the Saints, one would think.
Some of them hold most beautiful paintings.
In the church of St. James is the tomb of
the great painter, Rubens, who died here in
Antwerp, in 1640.
The splendid palace-like home where Rubens lived, and which he delighted so in
adorning, and which was stored with arttreasures, with pictures, with statues and

so thit you have a rare picture of an old
Flemish patrician mansion of that period.
It seemed as if the stately portraits on the
walls warmed into life, as one gazed upon
them, and out of their satins and velvets
smiled in welcome to those coiners of a later
day. There are here lordly banqueting
halls, reception rooms and library. The
mansion incloses a large central court,
whose wall" are thickly covered with grapevines, amid whose clustering leaves look out
ancient statues and busts. It is a most
charming listening place, full of dreamy
memories when the Autumn sunshine
lights the courts. Of great historical value

the mention of the bells of Bruges, of Belgium, fills me with a sort ot longing and

to love the chimes, to watch for their
ringing. They seem to pour a flood of
melody, of poetry into the most poetic
hour and day, with their " deep sonorous
clangor." It is perhaps well lam furced
to say nothing in reference to Bruges. I

Ostend lies not far away from Bruges, and

blossoms for a short time on the gray

EDITOR ABROAD-No. 2.
We wrote last from San Francisco, which
place we left on the Bth, and arrived in New
York on Monday, the 22d of March, via
Chicago, Columbus and Philadelphia. During four days of our overland journey, we
looked out upon one broad sheet of s<iow,
spread over mountain valley and prairie.
Without, tbe weather was cold, but within
the cars there was warmth and cheer. The
facilities for travel have become so systematized and arranged that the tourist has
only to commit himself to the railroad officials, and he need entertain no fears that he
will not arrive at the end of his journey refreshed rather than worried by his travels.
We found attached to our train from Omaha
to Chicago a dining car, and meals were
served in the very best style of hotel life,
and at very reasonable rates.
At Chicago we spent the Sabbath, and a
day of " holy rest," was most refreshing.
In the morning we listened to a sermon from
Key. Dr. Noble, and in the afternoon to a
most admirable lecture by Dr. Gregory, at
the Farewell Hall, under the auspices of the
Y. M. C. A. The subject was the Gospel
of John, and it was treated in the most interesting and scholarly style. The city of
Chicago has suffered severely from the
effects of the fire and financial reverses, but
the buoyancy and recuperative energies of
the people are perfectly marvellous.
In San Francisco, on a Monday morning,
it was our privilege to meet the Club, composed of Congregational Ministers, so in
Chicago, we enjoyed a similar privilege on
Monday, the 15th instant. At these gatherings the peculiar phases of ministerial and
parochial life are brought forward, essays
are read and doctrinal questions discussed.
At Columbus, Ohio, we enjoyed the hospitality of Dr. and Mrs. Scott, recently from
Honolulu. The former is now a member of
the House of Representatives, and deeply
engaged in the politics of state and nation.
He is Chairman on the important Committee of Appropriations for State Charities,
including Asylums for the Blind, Deaf and
Dumb, &c. During the evening of our brief
sojourn, we enjoyed the rare privilege of visiting the Blind Asylum, where nearly two
hundred inmates, study, work and wander
about " in darkness." There was a most
creditable entertainment, embracing exercises
in Music, Mathematics. Geography, and one
pupil read a passage Irnin Roman History,
in Latin, from raised letters. The music
was highly creditable.
Some performers
were quite proficient on the violin, and
others on the piano. Some of the young
ladies sang most sweetly. For the support of this admirable institution, the
State of Ohio appropriates about forty thousand dollars annually. The inmates attend
1880.
the several churches of the city as they are
inclined.
A rapid night's run over the Pennsylvania Central brought us to the beautiful city
of Philadelphia. This is a city which we
always visit with delight, and where our
stay is ordinary too short. It may be a fancy of ours, but the quiet and calm spirit of
Perm seems to pervade its atmosphere. The
inhabitants do not appear to hurry and rush
as they do in New York and Chicago. It is
a city of churches, with tall spires and imposing dimensions. On the afternoon of our
arrival, it being the season of Lent, we attended an Episcopal Church with an old
friend, and heard a most admirable Evangelical sermon from Rev. Dr. Newton, the favorite sermonizer and writer for children,
whose name is so intimately associated with
the American Sunday School Mission. On
the following Sabbath morning we listened
to a sermon from the Rev. Dr. Willetts, one
of the well-known ministers of the Presbyterian Church. He is a natural pulpit orator
and most charming lecturer. It has been
our desire for many years to hear him
preach, having read with delight his book on
the Miracles of our Saviour. Dr. Willetts
is a brother-in-law of our old friend Chaplain Rose, of the IT. S. S. Pensacoln, whose
visit at Honolulu will be remembered. We
spent a most delightful day at his pleasant
home with him, surrounded by his most
charming family. He is now supplying a
pulpit in the neighborhood of Philadelphia,
but still attached to the navy.
While at Philadelphia we were entertained by our old friend and host of Centennial
Damon, Esq., one of Philamemories.
delphia's most enterprising merchants. He
was formerly in business in Pernambuco,
South America, where homeward bound
vessels from the Pacific often touched. We
have had many pleasant chats about ships
and shipmasters, well-known at the Islands.
He is a merchant of large experience and
far-reaching views, whose wisdom and enterprise are appreciated.
Hastening on to New York our first enquiry related to steamers sailing for Europe.
We were fortunate to secure our passage
per City of Jiertin, Inman line, to sail for
Liverpool on the 3d of April. During the
interim, before sailing, we make a rapid trip
to
New England.
As we go about this city we are more and
more impressed with the greatness and magnitude of this London of the Western World.
It seems to have doubled and trebled since
we, fii-st came hither. Necessity being the
mother of invention, while San Fiancisco
may boast over her street railroad cars propelled by steam up hill and down, New
York seems to have solved the problem of
rapid passenger transit by her elevated railroads. They are a marvel and almost take
away your breath, as the cars rush along at
lighting speed over your head. It is quite
astonishing how very naturally the traveling
falls into the customs of the city; traveler
one hour in the street cars, at another in the
old fashioned Broadway buss, and again
taking the elevated railroad and flying
through the air. Such rapid journeying
was not favor editorial correspondence, and
we must close.

seen ; perhaps Tol on its northern slope
may have the most of such an appearance.
And yet, from the distance we saw the peak,
the gntde to the shores did not seem to be
very precipitous. These well-worn hills,
—with the fact, too, that all of Ruk's main
islands lie centrally within the lagoon, from

THE FRIEND,
is only separated from the mainland some
two or three miles, often less than this;
while Kusaie, save only on its south and
south-western sides, has but little lagoon, as
her reef is mainly the fringing reef; subsidence has not yet taken place enough to give
the pure barrier reef. But passing to Rule,
and the barrier reef is vast. A small sea
within washes the shores of the islands. It
is a sea, in breadth from 36 to 40 miles.
With thete facts we cannot but feel Ruk is
older than her two sisters. It should be
stated also that Ponape in her hills has
quite a rounded, time-worn look; while
Kusaie in all her cones and ridges is sharply
serrated ; her hill-sides steep, precipitous, her
valleys narrow. Is there anything in the
fact, the nearer the great continent the older
these islands ?
Tbe discovery of this island dates back
with but little doubt, 276 years—first by
Quirosa, the Spanish navigator. Duperry
visited it in 1624 ; D'Urville in 1828 and
1838; Lutke in 1828. It has been named
Berg's Island, and Torres. Pndre Cautova,
while at Guam in 1722, meeting with some
Caroline natives, and learning from them
them something of the islands, made a chart
of them, quite eoirectly locating Ruk, but
calling it Hogolu.
Ruk, by the natives, is the proper appellative for the island, but the initial sound is
somewhat like Svruk, or Truk ; but I think
the general pronunciation by the natives
was Ruk, pure and simple. And, as has
been said, it is the name for the whole
island lagoon, as Ponape is for that and Kusaie for that, while each island in the lagoon,
large and small, fins its own name. The
reef is extensive, sweeping nn irregular circle of 100 miles or more, pierced in many
places for passages, its surface crowned with
low islands, some inhabited, others not.
The productions of Ruk should be abundant, for her soil is good, but they are not.
Scarcity of food is a sod and common complaint of the native or the foreigner who
may live there But the explanation of all
this is inter-tribal wars. No tribe cures to
cultivate more than will meet the more
necess.iry wants of the people, lest an abun
dance of food invite an attack from some
hostile neighbor. No doubt the general indolence of the people contributes not a little
to (his state of want. The productions seen
were breadfruit, bananas, cocoanuts, sugarcane, taro grown in large patches, wild
oranges of a more than commonly good
quality. Fowls are but few, though it is
said the wild China hen is abundant in the
bushes. No pigs were seen, nor cattle of
any kind. The domestic dog is there,
though it does not seem to be common.
Fish, though not abundant, are caught in
the near waters. The woods tabound, so it
is said, in wild pigeons. The lagoon is
large ; large craft are needed to sail into it
or across it. L >rge proas were seen stored
in houses, with a very long and heavy paddle canoe. The Rukite is not a little of a
navigator, making voyages to the Mortlock
Islands, to the south-east 300 miles, and

inferior to any native people I have yet seen
in Micronesia. The house is low, roof quilo
flat, thatched with a variety of the leaf ofihe
sago palm, the sides only two or three feet
high; ends closed up, save it small hole to
crawl into; the floor of earth, unless some
leaves are strewn over it. The bed is a
simple mat; the sleeper, it would seem,
without pillow or blanket, save as he makes
use of his poncho or dress of native cloth.
The family simply herd together, with ihe
simplest means for cooking. The large
proa house is the dwelling Of the high chiefs
usually, and a little more comfort is here
had, but as we saw it neemed but little more,
minus quantity. The Rukiie's home is a
dismal one, so it seemed to me ; but the
Rukite himself, as I saw him, (so 1 may remark of the Mortlocker) taking him all in
all, is the finest looking native we have. In
stature he may be a little less than the Gilbert islander, as he is in largeness of person,
for (he Gilbert islander often has a ponderosity that is just appalling; but the Rukite
in complexion is of a fine saffron tinge, his
form symmetrical, chest full, limbs round
and of good length between joints, his step
easy, his eye round and lustrous, lips thin
for a Micronesian. nostrils also rather narrow, hair wavy and long. Many of the
women were beautiful. The person of a
Rukite is in full undress—the men, 1 mean
—a tnaro only being the indispensable part
of his attire. He often wears a poncho,
made in its warp and woof from the bark of
the hibiscus and threads of the banana
stalk. It has quite a silk-like appearance
til! he saturates it with oil and smears it
with his yellow ochre. Around the neck
long strings of beads, large and black, made
from the cocoanut shell, are worn. When
shining with oil they look like a small black
snake coiled around his neck. And pendent
from his ears hang heavy bunches of ihe like
kind of beads, a tin or brass button now and
then intermingled. The face is smeared
with a pigment of red earth and yellow
ochre, and so too nearly the whole of the
upper part of the body. This adorning does
not add much io the man's nor (he woman's
good looks The women wear about the
loins a piece of rudely woven native cloth,
figured so as to look quite pretty. The
upper part of the person is in full undress.
Youth are without clothing usually. The
Rukite in disposition is mild, and so in
looks. His nature is mild and loving. As
a people they are very impressible, easily
led, yielding quite willingly to higher influences. In the moral make up of the
people, they are as all heathen are. But it
is a pleasant people to live among.
The Rukite has been called a savage.
Vessels have been warned not to allow too
many on deck at once* There is perhaps
some ground for this, for at different times
vessels have been nearly taken. But this
savageness is not the normal condition of
tbe people. They have been led to this
more, I think, by the ill-treatment of the
foreigner than by natural disposition. As
the Star ran in close to the land near to
which she anchored, the natives fled to the
woods and hills or hid away in the bushes.
Walking inland and passing a dwelling
would so alarm the family that all fled, if it
in a corner. A savage, warlike, murdering
people would not do this.
The Star wus led on her mission by a
friendly chief. The news of the missionary
work in the Mortlock Islands had reached
him. He left his own home, taking wife
and child, and passed over (o a small coral
island some 30 miles distant. There he met
a Christian teacher who had been put there
last year, heard him preach, saw his school,
felt the new life he had brought to that
people, and asked for the same for his
people. Nearing the time when the Star
would be at that island, ho returned again,
and when he met us asked for a teacher.
He was in earnest, and promised all that
could reasonably be asked. We took him
at his word, took him aboard the Star with
the teacher with whom he had been staying,
whose place was supplied by another, and
sailed for his home. On the way we changed
his appearance somewhat by dressing him
up a little—the first step in the new creation
that is yet to pass over him and his. En-
tering the lagoon ol his island, the Star
headed for his home, neared it, he standing
on the deck to pilot the vessel, as well as to
see his people. They were too shy, not in
open space looking at the vessel, but from
behind trees and bushes. They did tint
recognise their chief, he was in foreign dress.
Tacking about and pulling ashore, so soon
as he saw some of his people he called to
them and beckoned them out. They came
on the rush, for their fear had fled, took nur
boat as we landed, pulled it ashore, und we
were all led up to the King's house. Our
friend soon told his story and introduced us.
The King smiled, shook hands with us, was
pleased, captured. We made known the
object of our coming, and presented a teacher
and wife. They were welcomed, accepted,
protection promised, and not that only, but
help promised to build his dwelling, to build
a meeting house, to feed and care for them
the year through, all for the part the good
man would do in preaching and teaching.
We spent one Sabbath at the island. A
meeting was held ashore. We were late in
going, waiting for the tide. 'The King and
our high chief had gathered early in the
morning a large crowd, but our non-appearance alarmed them. The King and his
Iriend took a canoe and pulled to the Star
to see why we had not gone ashore. Such
interest aroused us, and waiting no longer
for the tide, we pulled ashore, and had a fine
audience to talk to. It was an inspiring
sight to see these, so lately called savages,
and among whom one should not venture
unless armed to the teeth—to see them
listening so quietly, all unarmed. And it
thrilled us to think here were planted the
seeds of the new kingdom, yet to grow up,
overspread these islands and tame these
savage hearts, making them better men,
better women, more truthful, pure, honest,
kind, fitting them to live a better, truer life
here, and above all, fitting them, washed in
ihe blood of Christ, when life is over to go
up and dwell with Him and all the Redeemed in the " Beautiful City" of our God.
We shout all hail to this successful trip of
the Star—she completely unarmed, save
only as armed with God's word and His
then again to other islands to the north and
west. His craft is quite well made for voyaging on the ocean, modelled on the plan of
the Marshall Island proa, but not so heavy
blessed Spirit, and doing all she d id so quietnor so large. In his dwelling, the Kukitc is were possible ; if not, they crowded together ly, so easily, as if among a civilized people.

The Y. M. C. A. annual meeting which
came off this month as advertised, was a decided success owing to the efforts of the
courteous host and hostess—W. R. Castle
and Lady. The Secretary's and Treasurer's
reports are published herewith. That of the
President's being of general public interest,
was published in one of the Weekly newspa
pen, and is worthy the attention ofthoughtful, and thoughtless citizens. Of the present
condition and prospects of the Association,
the reports are the best indicators and to
them we refer our reader.
Secretary's Report for the past year, read
at the annual meeting.
The business man has stated seasons in
which he sums up the thousand details of
and here it might be well to give
statistics. In '77 the average attendance
was 9J, and in '78, 10J, which to use the
language of the Chronicle of that time
shows a small improvement " there having
been one-third of a young man more to the
meeting this year than the proceeding." In
'79, there was still a small advance, the
average being lljj, and this year we have
come up to 15 5-11. It rests with the
members of the Association to decree what
the scribe may say at the annual meeting of
1881.
There are some peculiarities in the increase of attendance ttiis year, which are
significant and worthy of notice. Of the H9
members who joined before 1877, the
average attendance has been about 4, while
that of the 25 who have become members
since '77, has been 9, making 5 over and
above that of the older members, which has
not been enough to form a quorum, A few
years ago the Y. M. C. A. secured a colporteur to evangelize among the Chinese ;
the second, ever on the islands. I need not
speak of the state of the Chinese Mission all
over the islands to-day, it speaks for itself.
During the year, prisoners and the sick in
the hospital have been visited, a reading
room kept open to all, an early prayer meeting in Fort Street Church held every Sunday evening, and other work, done which, but
needs time to bring to a working basis ; such
as securing employment for strangers.
What little we each have done this year
as Y. M. C. A. members, would not in all,
amount to 3 or 4 days work both in time and
money, while the results must be lasting.
Who shall then say, that we are not well
paid for our trouble. Before allowing this

burned them. They have also passed stringent prohibitory laws, making illegal all
traffic in intoxicating liquor. The sanctity
of the Sabbath is also enforced by imposing
heavy fines for games or labor on that day.
All friends of the Hawaiian people
will rejoice at the action of the Legis-
lature in putting an end to the attempt to
overthrow the present prohibitory liquor
law. It is to be hoped that tbe prohibition
will be extended to the Chinese, and to
other Polynesian races. The recent spread
of habits ofintemperance and the notoriously abundant sale of liquor, have given just
cause of alarm to all true friends of this
Hawaiian people. The attempt to license
the sale of opium is another of the persistent efforts so often made in these islands to
break down the barriers of social order.
The plantation managers cannot afford to
let their Chinese laborers be ruined by the
free use of opium.
Though there are fewer foreign
members of the Legislature than in previous
years, the native members have thus far acquitted themselves admirably in the difficult
task of legislating for a community of such
varied and almost discordant interests as in
this Hawaiian Kingdom. The reports presented by the Ministry have given full and
satisfactory account of the administration of
affairs for the last biennial period. There
are many difficult questions of public Interest for the right decision of which the Ministry is held responsible. No question is of
more vital importance to the business interests of the community than the introduction
of cheap labor. But pecuniary advantage

Your companionship, dear Friend, in the
months of absence, which I note, almost
with wonder and surprise, (so swiftly have
they passed,) are now gathered into years,
has been to me a thing so enjoyably that I
would fain hope that you may grant me the
favor of this a little longer, trusting tbat an
excursion into one more land will not be too
severe a tax upon your patience. I am the
more inclined to hope this, because our
rambling steps lead us this time to lands so
dear to us as the " Old Home," so precious
by reason of a thousand historic, poetic and
national associations, so consecrated by
grand and stirring memories of the past, that
it seems we are but fulfilling a filial duty in
visiting it at last. I have felt peculiarly within the past few days, as one who, after a long
absence, hears once more the welcome of
home, and sees about him the dear old familiar scenes which have grown strangely
dim with distance. I find it difficult to
divest myself of the idea that in some
far off past, 1 once existed here, and then
had wandered into remote and distant lands.

the people at a political policy with which
they bud but little or no sympathy. It
would however have been far less impressive
and complete had not Gladstone, one of the
greatest men of our own or any age, led the
attack. At the ripe age of seventy, with a
past record so meritorious and complete,
that it would have seemed sufficient to exempt him from further effort, he stepped
forward to the front, with sling in hand, like
some new David, in the first flush of youth.
Day after day he has penned forth a volume
of speech which has amazed his enemies
and delighted his friends. His recent oratorical efforts in Scotland Bre, perhaps, for
sustained force and endurance, without parallel in history. A recent writer in reference to the Liberal victory, says, using a
Homeric illustration, which none could better appreciate than Mr. Gladstone himself.
" It is Mr. Gladstone's voice which has
roused the country, and Mr. Gladstone's
conviction which has carried it. Like
Achilles when he left his tent, his mere cry
scared the victors as they then thought
themselves, in the full heat of their assault.
Like Achilles when he entered the battle,
everything has gone down before him, or
rather everything has seemed to ally itself
with him and his cause."
It is then no exaggeration to style him
the '• Hero of the Day." It has been a
source of no little satisfaction and pleasure
to us. that we have been privileged to see
Mr. Gladstone, at the moment of acknowledged victory, under the most agreeable
circumstances. Inspiring as heroes may be
as described in rhetoric verse, or perpetuated
in sculptured marble, a real hero gains,
rather than loses, breathing, living, acting
before you.
Leaving now the bare recital of political
affairs, let me give briefly the record of a
charming afternoon's excursion, which
brought us, to our great surprise and delight,
face to face with the first and foremost man
of England at the present time. We learn,
ed with pleasure from the kind host and
hostess, whose thoughtful attentions and
graceful courtesy, are fillrng our days, just
at present with so much that it is now delightful experience, and will be ever dear
and precious in the remembering that Hawarden Castle, the home of Gladstone and
his family, lay only a few miles away,
and that an excursion thither was planned
for us. This was quite enough to set our
■liberal" hearts beating with eager anticipation. At least we were to see the Castle
that held the Chieftain, who ruled the land.
But fate, which is oftentimes more loving
than our fears, had something better still in
store for us.
Yesterday we drove over the Welsh hills,
to Hawarden, with the sweet, fresh air of
the spring in our faces and a quiet gray sky
over our heads. Our way lay through a
splendid stretch of country, with hills on
every side, softly veiled in mist. Here and
there we saw churches whose towers rose
out of the peacelul landscape, guardian like,
as if indeed they were watching over
the hamlets, nestling beneath them
with a certain quaint tenderness of
their own. At last emerging from the forest
we caught glimpses of a little village perched upon a. hill, and then the Castle gates,
�mantled with ivy, appeared, and before we
knew it our horses stood before them. We
thought it must have been our good fortune
to have come just in time for a Welsh wedding, for the main street of the village was
gay with flags and mottoes, and garlands of
green. Little knots of the villagers stood
together busily talking and waiting. But
our joy was soon still more increased on
hearing that we had arrived at the moment,
not of wedding, charming as that would
have been, but to see the " welcome home"
of a successful Liberal candidate, and he a
son of Mr. Gladstone. I scarcely think in
all our English visit anything more uniquely interesting than this afternoon's celebration. It may be very probable that we shall
hear Mr. Gladstone, at some great distance,
speaking eloquently enough on some important measure, but here we had the pleasure
of standing side by side with him, speaking
with him, seeing him in the midst of his
people and family, with radiant face welcoming home his son, who is following so
worthily in his father's footsteps. With a
little waiting the throng grew larger. Then
Mr. Gladstone, with his wife, appeared
among the people, and soon up the village
street came the band, filling the quiet afternoon air with a burst of patriotic and martial music, and following this, a larger
crowd of country folk, with laughter and
shouts and cheers. The horses had been
taken out and the men were pulling the carriage, where with traveling trunk before
them, young Mr. Henry Gladstone, fresh
from his successful election in East Worcestershire, and his young wife, were enthroned for the time as on a triumphal car. I
wish I could paint, even approximately for
you, the scene. As a bit of old England, it
was unsurpassed. In the centre stood the
young politician, raised in his carnage,
above the heads of the crowd, thanking the
villagers and his family for their kind welcome; beside him his wife, a daughter of
Lord Blantyr, who, with wifely and womanly zeal had accompanied him through all
his electioneering efforts. Amid the crowd,
shoulder to shoulder with the men and
women of the village, stood the great Mr.
Gladstoneand his wife, he, with his head
uncovered, calm, dignified, elegant in his
manner, she, with her face beaming with
joyful feeling and beautiful with her motherly interest, a noble pair, I thought. About
us was the people, now silent, earnest, attentive, now breaking out into cheers and cries
of approbation and jubilant laughter at some
happy turn in the speech. There were
strong, vigorous faces in the throng. At
our side I noticed a sooty and grimed miner
from a neighboring colliery, at the foot of
the hill, with his safety lamp still on, standing near an antique carved stone fountain.
There were rosy cheeked matrons and maids,
and white bearded men. Faces looked out
from upper windows, overhanging the street.
It was a characteristic, odd little company.
Yellow cockades ornamented some of tbe
caps, yellow flags waved in the air, and
bright primroses and daffodils gave a jaunty
dash to many a button-hole, and over all
hung the grey, soft curtain of the April sky,
and the wind stole softly through the neighboring forests, brightening beneath the touch
of the coming summer. At the end of the

Since our last we have made a rapid run
through New England and returned yesterday, April Ist, to New York, to make our
preparations for sailing to-morrow for Liverpool per City of Berlin, Inman Line. ,We
found the weather of March fearfully cold
and while in New England we experiencet
a snow storm, covering the ground to the
depth of six inches. When in Holden, our
native town, we had several sleigh rides
thus reminding us of the olden times'
"
when a youth we enjoyed all that was to be
derived from the pleasures of winter and the
merry music of the bells. There is a charm
about New England which natives of this
region experience, whether they visit it in
summer or winter, spring or autumn,
During our brief sojourn in Boston we
met many of our old Island friends who
have returned to Boston? among them Capt
Brewer, Dr. Wood, Mr. Austin, W. T. Brigham, Esq., and others. It was our privilege
to dine with General Armstrong st Mr.
Austin's. We were glad to learn that he
contemplates a visit to tbe Islands the coming summer, where we feel fully confident
he will receive a most cordial welcome. He
is a most loyal Hawaiian, and does not
ignore the fact that a youthful training on
Hawaiian soil and his connection with the
Hawaiian Board of Education, contributed
in no small degree to fit him for his present
position of eminent usefulness. He is full of
philosophy about races, including the Hawaiian, Chinese, Negro as well as AngloSaxon. We are rejoiced to learn that there
are some live men who have been born at the
Hawaiian Islands.
During our first visit to New York we enjoyed the privilege of hearing a lecture delivered at the Hall of the Y. M. C. A., before the students of the Union Theological
Seminary, by the Rev. R."S. Storrs, D. D.„
of Brooklyn. It was the first of a series on
the " Evidences of Christianity," on what
is styled the Ely-Lectureship.
It was a
most able and interesting lecture delivered
in a peculiarly graceful style. Dr. Storrs is
considered as among America's ablest and
most eloquent pulpit orators. We remember him as a student at Amherst nearly fifty
years ago, and it is pleasant to witness that,
with increase of years.there has beenacquired
a maturity of views and opinions, which
place him among the very foremost of the
clerical profession. Among those upon the
platform we noticed the venerableDr. Adams,
Prof. Schaff, Dr. Prime of the Observer, and
other distinguished men.
It was during our visit to New England
that Easter Sundsy occurred. It is quite

First, it was a personal salvation. " Thy
faith hath saved thee." It was not another's
faith, but her own.
Second, it was salvation by believing.
"Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not
her faith and repentance, nor her faith and
love, nor her faith snd good resolutions, but
her faith alone.
Third, it was a present salvation. " Thy
faith hath saved thee." It was not that
Peter and James and John were saved, but
she herself, a little while before an outcast
sinner, was saved.
Sixth, it was an active salvation. " Thy
faith hath saved thee ; go." It was not that
she was to sit down after that eventful interview in idle self-indulgence, but she was to
be engaged always in the Master's service.
Seventh, it was a peaceful salvation.
"IfThy faith hath saved thee ; go in peace."

remembered the unfailing word of her faithful Lord. " Being justified by faith, we

There is a judge in the city of Hudson, U.
S., who both fears God and regards man.
In sentencing to death a criminal found
guilty of the murder of his wife, Judge Osborn concluded with these words of remonstration, rebuke, and Gospel invitation, to
the murderer:—
We have been pained and grieved to hear
that your previous character has been bad,
that you have not lived such a life as you
should, to command the respect of those
who reside in the same community, or in the
community adjoining that of yourresidence.
We have been grieved also to witnes-s the
indifference which you have displayed during the progress of this trial—the indifference which seems to have been manifested
by you from the hour of the commission of
this crime down to the present time. I trust
that from this time you will give up this indifference. Attempt now to soften your heart.
Listen to the appeals that may be made to
your conscience by the Christian men and
women of this city, who, I have no doubt,
will be glad to visit you, will be glad to do
all in their power to bring you to a better
state of mind. The law. more merciful to
you than you to your victim, gives you ample time for repentance. Bear in mind that
there is a fulness and freeness in the salvation
which Christ purchased for us, and it is ample and sufficient to meet your case. You
will remember that the Saviour, while suffering the most terrible agony on the cross,
prayed to HisFather in heaven that He might
forgive His murderers, for they knew not
what they did " Then you may hope for
pardon if you heartily repeot and seek for-

in the Other Country.—A distinguished
man lay on his death-bed, when
a great mark of distinction and honour was
brought to him. Turning a cold glance on
the treasure he would once have clutched
with an eager grasp, he said, with a sigh,
''Alas! this is a fine thing in this country,
her faith might save, or shall hereafter save, but I am going to a country where it will be

Fourth, it was a perfect salvation.

faith had helped her, or started her on the
road to glory, but it had completely saved
her from the curse and consequences of sin.

We have read with great interest, the report
of the Judiciary Committee to (he Legislature, on the restriction against the use
of spirituous liquors by native Hawaiians,
and heartily endorse the sentiments therein
expressed. In his report, Mr. Gibson states
that the Hawaiian Government is not bound
by any treaty relations which would prevent
its Legislative Assembly from imposing restrictions by law in respect to the use of intoxicating liquors upon persons of any nationalities, even upon those with whom our
Government has treaty relations, if deemed
advisable to do so for public welfare.
We sincerely hope that a law will be passed, during the present Legislature, that
will prevent the sale of all intoxicating
liquors to .every Chinaman on these islands. The community is not, and the
Legislature cannot Be ignorant of the great
evil that is being done by the sale ofliquar
to the Chinese. From Hawaii to Kauai,
case after case is shipped to them every
week. In many places they sell it openly to
any one who wants it, and the natives can
get all they desire, without any difficulty.
Drunkenness is seen daily, and is on the increase. The community is looking to the
Legislature, and expect that it will pass a
law that will meet and remedy this evil.
The fair of the Library and Reading
Room Association, took place at their rooms,
May 20, 21, 1880, and was a complete success, in every particular, far exceeding the
expectations of the most sanguine. For
nearly three months, the nimble lingers and
busy heads of the ladies, who had the matter
in charge, were devising, preparing and perfecting arrangements for its successful accomplishment. Too much praise cannot be
lavished upon them for what they have done.
The net proceeds will amount to a little over
92,400. This will enable the Association
to pay off its present indebtedness, and
leave a large balance on hand, to purchase
books, fkc, from time to time, as shall be
deemed necessary, for the further progress
and advancement of the Association. We
feel that the successful results of the fair
have been a public recognition by the community, of the necessity and usefulness of
the Association to our city, and their wish
that it may continue to grow and prosper,
year by year.
It may be a matter of interest for the
ladies of our city to know, that they can become Members of the Library and Reading
Room Association, as well as their gentlemen friends. The dues are placed at the
moderate sum of fifty cents a month, entrance fee, $1.00.
We already have
five lady members on our list, and we hope
to have many more in the future.
Electric Light on Shipboard.—The
Inman steamer City of Berlin, which arrived at New York, recently from Europe,
was lighted during the voyage by electricity.
Four lights were placed in the saloon and
two in the steerage, each having a light
of 400 standard candles, the apparatus being driven by a small four-horse power engine. The experiment proved such a success that the delighted passengers presented
an address of thanks to the Inman Company, through Capt. Kennedy, commander
of the vessel.
President Seelye, of Amherst College,
not frightened by the spectres which
some Christians conjure out of the speculations of modern scientists. He says in a
recent letter to a former pupil: " Remember that evolution, without a previous involution, is impossible; and to derive reason
from unreason is absurd." This is another
way of putting the old proverb, " You
cannot get more out of a bottle than was
put into it."

The P. C. Advertiser of the 29th ult.,
informs us that a bill to license the sale of
opium to Chinese in the Kingdom, is under
discussion before the Legislature. The purport of the bill as explained by the P. C.
Advertiser is certainly a very weak one,
and we hope tbat our Legislators will be
wise enough not to pass such an act. The
present law on our statute books is a good
one, and the P. C. Advertiser says, that
according to the best testimony tbe country
can produce, it is very effective in discouraging the use of opium amongst the natives at
least. Certainly this is reason enough why
the present law should not be repealed.
The Chinese will get opium any how, by
hook or by crook, our duty is to try as far as
lies in our power to prevent its reaching the
natives. Let the present law stand.
We are glad to welcome to Honolulu
Mr. James A. Martin, who arrived by the
last trip of the Discovery. He comes highly recommended by many pastors and
teachers in New York City, and Brooklyn,
as an earnest Christian worker. He has
been engaged in Sunday School work for 27
years in the latter city. He made an interesting address to the Kaumakapili Sabbath School, Sunday morning, May 23d,
and at Maemae Sunday School in the afternoon of the same day. He is desirous of
obtaining employment here, and Is anxious
and eager to take hold, and assist us in our
Sunday School work here, as soon as a permanent situation has been secured.
We understand that a petition has
been presented by the Ladies Stranger's
Friend Socieiy, to the Legislature, asking
that a part of the hospital tax be set aside,
as a fund for them to draw upon, in caring
for the many indigent foreigners increasing
in our community. The finances of the
society have been heavily drawn upon of
late, and they need assistance. Their request is a most worthy one, and we hope it
will be cheerfully granted by the Assembly.
We can all afford to speak a kind
word now and then, to strangers in our
midst. It does not cost us anything to do it,
and it may cheer some despairing heart.
A New Bedford paper says that the
Post Office department has made a decision
by which second class matter can be sent to
the Hawaiian Kingdom at the domestic
rates prescribed by the act of 1876. This
reduces the rates on periodicals materially.

1. 1880.
The Annual Meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association was held the
first week in June. The attendance at all
the meetings was very large. The most
important change to be noticed is the resignation of Rev. A. Bingham as Secretary
of the Hawaiian Board, on account of continued feebleness of body and voice. Mr.
Bingham however, continues to reside in Honolulu, in the service of theTA. B. C. F. M.,
devoting himself to the preparation ofbooks
in the Gilbert Islands language. Rev A. O.
Forbes of Hilo, the new Secretary, is expected to enter on the duties of the office
about the first of August. Miss. E. K. Bingham has also resigned the charge of Kawaiahao Female Seminary. The Trustees are
anxiously seeking some one suitable to fill
the vacancy.
The Morning Star sailed on the
21st. A larger crowd than ever before gathered on the vessel and the wharf to witness
the farewell services at the departure of the
Missionaries, who go to the Gilbert Islands
to give new impulse to the work there.
Messrs. Taylor and Walkup with their wives
all expected to open a Training School on
Apaiang; and the Hawaiians who went out,
Rev. S. Kahea Maunaloa and wife, are to
be located with them as assistants in the
school. The vessel was heavily laden with
the usual supplies for the missionaries, and
lumber for new dwelling houses. The missionary packet is provisioned this year for a
ten month's voyage. Rev. J. F. Whitney
and family are expected to return in the
Star for a visit home after ten years' labor
on the Marshall Islands.

Rarely have I known a day more fair,
more full of a tender, sunlit beauty than that
which brought us from England to Scotland.
We left Liverpool in the morning and long
before the twilight had gathered about Arthur's Seat," we were in Edinburgh. I
could have wished It might have been possible to linger amid the classic region of the
" Lake District," at whose hills and mountains we were permitted to gaze from a distance. Even in passing, it was a pleasure
to feel that Windermere, the " Queen of all
"
the Cumberland Lakes," lay peacefully
sleeping in the hush of the noon-tide and the
beauty of the opening spring, very near at
hand. I could fancy that the spirit of the
singers, who loved this region ao well, rested
in a way of blessing on the scenes which
filled them with such high and great
thoughts, and which they have painted so
vigorously, so tenderly, so truly for all the
world. Wide fields growing softly green
underthe verdant touch of the spring, sweep
away to low foot-hills, rising toward heights
beyond whose curving lines, softened still
more by the tremulous haze of the warm
mid-day, struck me as peculiarly lovely and
graceful. It is scarcely to be wondered that
Wordsworth and Coleridge and Southey
loved these peaceful yet inspiring scenes.
As we crossed the Scottish border the whole
aspect of the country seemed to change as
by magic. The tilled English fields, bordered by hedges, gave way to grassy hillsides, unbroken by dividing lines. Trees
and shrubbery yielded to clustering growths
of furze and heather. The blue sky grew of
sudden grey, and veils of mist drifted down
to us, and great rain drops blew with the
wind through the openings in the hills.
There was a freshness, a breezy healthfulness in the very air. which spoke to as from
the first, of the Highlands.
But before we reached Edinburgh the
clouds parted and the evening sun came out
in its glory, lighting the city with rarest
beauty.
We are glad to welcome back to
the islands for a brief visit, Gen. S. C. Armstrong, son of the honored missionary who
had charge for so many years of his life, of
the department of public education in this
Kingdom. Twenty years of absence have
witnessed many changes, alike in Hawaii
nei and in the United States. But the grey
hairs that have begun to show themselves
are now old veteran's war-worn locks. The
same boyish ardour, the same restless energy
that characterized the youthful editor of a
score of years ago, are characteristics now of
the honored educator, who has shown the
people of the Southern States the value and
of common school education,

THE FRIEND,
by the thought of the beautiful home from on
which, as a centre, we radiated, now to the
town, now to the country, for some ten " rich
and abundant " days. The Castle of Dreghorn stands on the curving slopes of the Pentlands, an hour or so from Edinburgh. It is
a fine spacious edifice, partly covered with
ivy, with tower and turrets and arches,
strong and stately, and gray without and
bright with all cheer and home-beauty within. It has seen the Pentlands changing
from brown to green for something like two
hundred Springs! Glorious stretches of
woodland lead you off on either side, while
tlown to the murmuring stream in the hollow below sweep away the queenest ot meadows, with here and there stately drooping
trees, and varied with wandering whitewooled sheep and capering lambs. Passing
down the long drive you come to the ancient
Loudge," with its stone turrets half smoth"ered
in a wealth of the richest ivy. Still
farther on are the cottages of the tenantry
and the village of Collington down in the
valley, or clinging amid the trees to the hillside. And what a magnificent reach of
country spreads itself out before you on
every side. There in the foreground, like
some mighty gulf of tenderest green, lighted
by bursts of splendid April sunshine, and
deepened by the shadows of drifting clouds,
lies a superb forest ridged, village dotted
plain. Then beyond this, where the sun
comes out and the clouds part at its coming,
may be seen still, motionless in its verdant
setting, like a silver mirror the Firth of
Forth in the distance. Beyond this forming
our farthest horizon, rise higher peaks in early mornings, sometimes white with newly
fallen snow. But fairest of all in this fair
and goodly landscape, at your left the unrivalled beauty of the Scottish capital, watched over by its guardian hills meet you. You
should see it from this point, now lost in the
shadows or showing faintly through passing
veils of mist, now rising triumphantly out of
the cloudy depths a glorified golden city, its
towers gleaming in the radiance of the high
noon, glittering and luminous.
Beautiful as was this outer world, we
learned to look with delight to the home-
coming, after days of pilgrim-tours and of
historic wanderings, and to the welcome
awaiting us within the Castle. Blessings
on this Christian Scottish home, and their
kind and generous hearts whose warmth and
sympathy and gentle courtesy made us,
strangers at our coming, feel like kinsfolk
when we parted.
IN AND ABOUT EDINBURGH.
I am in no way faithless to memories of
other scenes which have charmed me, nor am
I leas in love with certain places which have
in other days given me much delight, when
I say that Edinburgh is, without a word
of question, the most beautiful city I have
as yet seen in Northern Europe. Those of
the South I have still to see. I would not
even except Geneva, with its beautiful lake
and noble mountain views, nor Stockholm
so proudly cresting the deep blue waters of
Malar. From the first cloudless sunset of

the blue sky of early April, I felt the presence of this perfect, queenly city as a perpetual joy and inspiration. Were it other-

wise than beautiful, it would be strange.
Its situation is most picturesque and abundantly adapted to display to the best advantage the unusually fine architecture of the
city. By this kindly help of nature, every-
thing of man's devising is enhanced a thousand fold. Even the most prosaic edifice
receives something of a poetic beauty and
finish from either its surroundings or the
point on which a kindly necessity has compelled it to rest. Then, more than this,
Scottish taste has budded and blossomed in
this austere north, and under gray skies,
into a beauty and grace, which awakes in
every visitor the most astonished admiration. You wonder that amid the influences
of Scotch Theology and Metaphysics, this
fair city, with its numerous statues and inspiring monuments and its stately edifices,
suggesting the perfect temple of classic and
heathen Greece, could have been planted on
these Scottish hills. Edinburgh is the
most graceful and winning paradox I know
of. The city is divided into the old and the
new town. Between these lies a rocky ravine, which has been transformed into most
beautiful gardens, open to the people. On
one side rises a huge rocky crag, which is
surmounted by the immense Castle of Edinburgh. From this you pass down into the
long, narrow streets of the old town, with
their towering, many stoned houses. Facing the Castle and across the valley lies the
principal street and promenade of the city,
and one of the finest things to see in all Europe, Prince's Street.
Edinburgh fairly
teems with historic associations, and the
stones of the pavement seem to have voices.
Here, you re-read half of Scottish history;
here, kings and queens have lived, and here
a portion of the romantic and melancholy
drama of Queen Mary's life was enacted.
Holyrood Palace abounds in interest for
every visitor. I wish we might linger longer here. The tapestries, the hangings, the
furniture are still standing in the palace
rooms as in the days of the unhappy queen.
You are shown the little supper room where
Mary was sitting with fiizzio, when Darnley
and the other assassins stole up the dark
and winding stair-way at the side, lifted the
now faded arras, and rushed upon them.
After these long, long years there seems
still something uncanny in the blood-stains
in the hall beyond. In the quaint old High
street still stands the house of John Knox,
the Reformer. You can fancy him walking
down the long street to the Palace, where
Mary gave him, far from loving welcome.
In one of the market places is a carved cross
in the pavement, which marks the spot where
thousands and thousands of the reformers
were burned and executed for their unwavering faith. And I could go on thus, page
after page, naming historic points in the city,
did my time but permit. Edinburgh is
famed the world over for its great men, who
have been eminent in philosophy or theology, or science or poetry. To-day its citizens
are known for their refinement and intellec-
tual and religious culture. Its benevolent
and charitable institutions are numerous, and
rank with the first in the world. I recall
with especial delight one afternoon and evening I spent in Edinburgh. It was the
finest day of the year, when the long struggle of the winter for life seemed over, and
the victory of the spring assured. I chanced
to be on Prince's Street at the supreme moment of this raw day, just when the city
grew glorious and almost transfigured in the
splendor of the setting sun, and the coming
on of evening. The whole length of this
superb promenade stretched off like some
triumphal way. At one end rose into the
luminous sunlighted evening sky, heights
surmounted by lofty monumental columns.
One side was closely filled with more prosaic
and modern buildings, but on the other lay,
I thought, one of the fairest views my eyes
had ever rested on. It may have been the
exquisite beauty of the hour, I scarcely know,
but it seemed like the vision of an enchanted
city. Near at hand, was the splendid Gothic
monument to Scott, and to right and left of
this, other statues, recalling distinguished
names. A little further removed a line of
buildings with massive pillars and classic
figures. At my feet the gardens of the city
grew dim with the gathering purple shadows
of the evening. Across the valley the old
town and the Castle, glowed in the full sunlight, radiant in the slant beams, then grew
softly, wonderously beautiful in the after
glow, all sharp lines fading tremulously
away, while the time-stained gray of towers
and battlements lost itself in the background
of the sky.
The pleasure of our visit to Edinburgh
was largely enhanced by the renewal of our
acquaintance with Miss Isabella Bird, whose
name is remembered so pleasantly in very
many of our Island homes, and whose charming and graphic descriptions of Hawaiian
life and scenery, are so widely known and
appreciated, and no where more so than
with us. Miss Bird's home is in the Scottish capital, and our memories of the days
spent there will always be the brighter for
the thought of her kindly courtesy and hospitality. Her very many Island friends and
admirers will, I am sure, hear her name
again with sincerest pleasure. Since her
visit among us, she has visited the Rocky
Mountains, and her eloquently poetic letters
from that upper world of primeval forests
and glittering snow-clad peaks, have been
received with the greatest favor. Last year
she returned from a visit to Japan, and I
feel convinced that her book on that country,
which is to appear in the autumn, will be
even more popular than any of hers which
have preceded it. Miss Bird's name is here
well-known, and she takes a prominent place
among the writers of travel.
Through Miss Bird's kindly introduction
we came to know some of the choice people
of Edinburgh, this city of delightful society. Our evening visit was especially pleasant, and I mention it here because I am
sure the name of Dr. John Brown, the author of that most pathetic and beautiful
of poems in prose, "Rab and his Friends," is
dear to many in the Pacific. Dr. Brown is
well-known as an author and essayist. His
style is attractive, his language forcible and
eloquent, and at times delightfully quaint
and picturesque. Some of his shorter
sketches are known the world over, and
" Rab and his Friends," may be said to be
one of the most exquisite and touching
things in the English language, its author

THE FRIEND,
natural beauties of Stafla, or have journeyed
to the many points whose place in history and
poetry the great genius of Scott has fixed
forever. Or,—but it were kinder and wiser
to tell you of one or two of the places where
we really did go—in the body and not in
lingering fancy. One gray day, with the
wind and the rain against us, but a grand
pair of horses before us, we drove to Roslin,
interesting for its ruined castle and chapel.
The latter is a perfect Gothic garden of luxuriant, and yet exquisite bloom, a glorious
maze of clustering, intricate carvings and
traceries. The castle is in a sadly ruined
state, too decrepit perhaps to be called any
longer in itself beautiful, but eloquent still
in its reminders of other ages. You are
shown a damp, dreary arched vault where,
our old guide told us, Queen Mary hid for
some weeks when she was flying before
Elizabeth. What a gloomy place for a
haven of refuge
Without it was charming, notwithstanding the April drops which
filled the gray noon-tide, now and then with
their uncalled for presence. Below was a
tumbling stream, beneath which our tottering, and shadowy guide (he might have
dated from Queen Mary's days) told us a
secret passage ran far away from the castle
to some opening beyond. The opposite bank,
some one said, would be as blue as the summer sky a little later on, when the blue bells
came. Further down the stream, reached
by a lovely, romantic way under the arching trees, lies Hawthornden, once the home
of the poet Drummond.
To have left Scotland without a peep at
Melrose, would have been to do a thing for
which 1 am sure you would never have forgiven me. A visit there would have been
enough to have lifted any day quite into the
number of those which we note as worthy of
special remembrance. But thanks to the
great kindness and rare guiding skill of our
very kind friend and host, we were enabled
to see much more. 1 shall long remember
this April day with pleasure; with now a
swift ride by train through historic Scottish
landscapes, or more leisurely carriage drives
over country roads, bordered by verdant
hedges. The very spirit of peace and contentment seemed to rise like a continual
hymn from the quiet meadow lands and
grass grown hill sides. We had much pleasure in visiting Abbotsford, which the memery of Sir Walter Scott renders so strikingly interesting. Here he lived and wrote for
many years, and here weary and worn and
yet victorious, he died. The house is filled
with reminders of the great poet and novelist. His books stand as he left them, and
seemed lonely and sad, now that the hand
and eye of their former owner are still and
closed. The beautiful gleaming Tweed
flows swiftly on at the foot of the lawn.
They placed Sir Walter near the window
that he might, as his life went out, watch
its onward flow. Abbotsford is painfully interesting; painfully, for you feel the emptiness, the vanity of all this now dusty material wealth lor which the great poet, with
a pathetic weakness, sacrificed so much and
labored as under the lash. But he left his
name ■' unstained !

Dryburgh Abbey lies not far away from
Melrose. From the hills above it you may
look towards the " Land of the Border" on
the horizon, and involuntarily in looking
you find yourself humming, I am sure, some
ballad or other, which long ago was born
there. Dryburgh was founded during the
reign of David I, and has its own place in
history, of which we will not speak here.
To-day its chief interest, and that a very
great and tender one, lies in the fact that
Scott is buried here; that a great hearted
friend of yours and mine and all the world,
has found his last resting place beneath those
arches and amid these peaceful scenes. It
is a most beautiful and appropriate spot for
one to lie whose life was a song, which
seems to find a whispered echo even here in
death. Here amid the reminders of a historic past, watched over by the sacred memories of this holy place, ho lies till the morning dawn. The Tweed is near at hand,
broadening here to a noble river, whose blue
depths mirror sheltering banks of rare beauty. There is a hush over the crumbling
walls, over the glorious vestiges of a dim
past, over the encircling fields and groves.
The matins and vespers here are the songs
of thousands of birds—the incense, is the
breath of opening flowers and the opening
year, through the sculptured window of the
choir, streams by day the undimmed beauty
of God's sunshine, and here at night the
silver stars gleam as tapers. For us all, for
dead and reverent pilgrims, there

On the Sabbath, we enjoyed religious services, in the forenoon, the Episcopal service,

from the Rev. Mr. McKinney, who was educated at the Theological School of the Rev.
Mr. Spurgeon in London. The ship's company of a large steamer is made up of a
great variety of characters, and from all,
something may be learned.
On arriving in Liverpool after a nine day's
passage, we were cordially welcomed by
some old friends, and among them A. Balfour. Esq., at the head of the house of Balfour, Williamson Sc Co , engaged in the Valparaiso trade, having a branch oftheir house
in San Francisco. Mr. Balfour spends much

the course of the Saturdsy previous, the

from the table, where the Dean and a few
friends were sitting, to a distant part of the
room. In a short time the Dean enquired

island. But in time other explorers reached did his work, he secured peace, but it was
the peace of a nearly exterminated race.
A few days since there came floating to
us on the currents of commerce and literature pieces of the wreck of this island world.
As we gathered them up and looked at
them, we saw in them the former life once
so busy there, we saw in them two lines
which told us how closely allied that people
were with those among whom we are now
living. It is well known how easy it is to
link a lost species of fauna or flora back to
its native place by the discovery of a single
bone, it may be, or a single stem of a tree.
Yearssince.when the first Morning Star was
wrecked, the swiftly passing currents caught
some pieces of her timbers, such as were
well marked, and bore them eastwardly
some 300 miles and landed them on another
island. They were gathered up by some
natives, shown to a captain who knew the
vessel well; as he examined them he declared them to be parts of the Morning Star,
and said she was wrecked. It was so. She
was lost, she is wrecked on another island,
and here were the drifted timbers, telling the
sad tale. So with the drifted pieces from,
this lost people. They tell us not so much
that the people are lost, but rather what
close relationship they held with the nowliving people about us. Here is a fragment.
That early people had for a name as given
by foreigners, Chammoros, it seems to have
been a tribal appellative. But I think it
meant rather the priestly class. For here
in the Ponape dialect, Jamero, very closely
allied in its root-parts to the Chammoros
alone, means priest. We cannot doubt but
that once they were closely allied. But
here is another fragment.
Early writers
speaking ot the priests of the Ladrones,
mention the Rhy May bread fruit. But the
May is only the name for this fruit all
through Micronesia; the Ponape, Mai, Mortlock Mai, Russian Mwos, Ebon Me. A
half-caste youth from these islands crossed
my path a few days since. There was
nothing in his appearance to indicate that
his home was there, and his language was
mixed with the Spanish, yet now and then
words were dropped that were native. His
Maulik for instance, meaning good, was only the Ponape Me mau, the Ebon, Emon.
His Nifin, meaning teeth, has the Ponape
and Morllock roots for the same words, Ngi.
But these are only a few of the fragments
of the wreck upon that northern Archipelego;
we wish we had more. We are sure there
are more. We do not doubt, but that in
some of the old convents of those islands
there are stowed away treatises on the grammar of that dialect. It would be a joy to rifle
these places for these treasures, it will be
done in time. But till then we must be
content with the little that floats to us. We
mourn the loss of that people. From all
can learn we think it must have been the
finest in all this island world. There are
ruins there that tell us this ; but the race is
gone, those northern " cousins have passed
away. Only 350 years, and they are not.
Is this prophetic of the races now living in
Micronesia ? That in the sweep of another
circle of 350 years less or more, the races
now living and for whom we are now toiling are to be wiped out! Not certainly if a
pure and simple Christianity and civilization
can save them.

their sentiments were fully enjoyed by the
natives. We are glad to know that the
ladies of the Board take such an interest in
getting 4ip the tea party each year. We
know that it is appreciated by the recipients,
for they look forward to it every year with
great pleasure, as one of the bright events of
their rtay in Honolulu.
We learn from the P. C. Advertiser of
the 26th ult., that the Y. M. C. A. has appointed a committee to prepare and circulate for signatures among the owners, managers, and agents of the various sugar and
rice plantations, petitions to be presented to
the King urging the continuance of the present policy of prohibitive legislation against
liquor and opium. This is a good move on
the part of the Association, and we hope it
will meet with success.
We are glad to hear that Mr. Henry
Waterhouse has been appointed as one of
the new members of the Hawaiian Board.
He is the right man in the right place. *
We commend the action of the Legislature in refusing to grant a subsidy to the
proposed Chinese line of steamers.

At a meeting of the Library and Reading
Room Association, held at their hall the sth
ult., the entertainment committee informed
the Society that arrangements had been perfected whereby they would be able to give at
least one entertainment per month at the
rooms, of either lectures, readings, or addresses, with music, etc. Several gentlemen
have signified their willingness to assist the
Society in this matter. It is the intention
and purpose of the committee to keep up
the interest in our Society, and to furnish
monthly entertainments at their rooms,
where the public can come and enjoy a
pleasant evening without charge.
The Hall and Library committee reported
that since the fair, they had bought here in
town one hundred dollars worth of new and
valuable books, which were nearly all ready
to put on the shelves. By the steamer of
June 7th they had ordered one hundred dollars worth of books, and would order fifty
dollars worth by each succeeding steamer,
until further instructions from the Board of
Control.
During the past month a Young
Men's Christian Association has been started among the native members of Kaumakapili Church. A full list of officers have
been chosen to serve for one year. The association will hold meetings once a month,
and a prayer meeting every Sunday evening
before church. The same constitution and
by-laws of the English Y. M. C. A., will be
adopted by the Hawaiian society. Mr.

THE FRIEND.
AUGUST 8. 18 80.
From the Biennial Report of the President
of the Board of Education to the Legislative
Assembly of ISBO. we gather some interesting facts in regard to the School Statistics
of the Islands. There are 210 schools in
the country, viz : 150 Government Common
schools, 14 Government select schools,
taught in English ; and 46 Independent
ones, also taught in English. The total
of scholars in all these schools is 7,164
—4,048 boys and 11,116 girls. The nationality of the pupils (which shows the mixed
nature of our population) is as follows :
Hawaiians, 5.657; half-caste Hawaiian*,
955 ; Chinese, 85 ; Americans, 247 ; British, 90 ; Portuguese, 55 ; Germans, 37;
French, 2; other foreigners, 36. The sum
total expended by this Government for the
support of Common and Hawaiian and
English Schools during the biennial period
ending March 31, 1880, was *50,055.72—a
very respectable amount for a small country
like this. We conclude our brief notice of
this interesting report by copying the following paragraph by the President: " One
great defect of our Common school teachers
is the lack of inclination or ability to teach
their pnpils moral truths. Our public school
system should, like the Government which
administers it, be nonsectarianand national;
and the Board aim to maintain it free from
the influence of church or sect. But this
should not prevent the teachers from instructing their pupils in the principles of

however is, that you can never fulfill your

to bring the pure Gospel before the minds
and hearts of the better classes in Russia.
For several years he has been in habit of
visiting St. Petersburg nnd other cities, and
holding evangelical meetings among the
wealthy and influential members of society,
which have resulted in leading many to the
truth. This has irritated and enraged the
leaders of the Greek Church, whe have bitterly opposed the movement, and now they
have succeeded in procuring this severe interdict. Lord Radstock established a Bibleclass nt the house of General Pashkoff, from
which the leaven has spread, till now there
are fifteen similar meetings in St. Petersburg that are sending out a Gospel influence over the city and even into'the provinces. The new converts are called by the

THE FRIEND, AUGUST,
A New Sailors' Institute.—We have
received a circular in regard to the inauguration of the "New British and American
Sailors' Institute," at Hamburg, which
was to take place on the 21st of June. We
quote a paragraph : " After a tea meeting,
which will begin at 5:30 (admission one
mark), the chair will be taken by Edward
Chaplin, Esq , Chairman of Committee, at 7
precisely. The Rev. E. W. Matthews, Secretary to the British and Foreign Sailors'
Society, London, the Rev. Dr. Damon, of
the American Seamen's Friend Society, and
others, are expected to speak, (admission
free.")
The Chinese steamer Ho Chung is daily
expected, with some four or five hundred
Chinese passengers. These frequent additions to our population of Asiatic heathen
are increasing the responsibility that rests
upon Christians to try and do something
more than has yet been done towards im-
parting to them the light of Gospel truth.
The presence of such a large and rapidly increasing pagan element among the Christianized but weak Hawaiians, must give rise
to grave apprehensions of evil consequences.
We need more Chinese colporteurs to labor
among their countrymen, and an American
missionary speaking Chinese, as suggested
by the Hawaiian Board, would find an ample field for labor. From whence shall we
look for one, and who will support him ?
We have received the Annual Report
of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association
for 1880. The Association held its sessions
in this city during the first week in June,
and the pamphlet of the proceedings and
reports is extremely interesting under the
different headings—" Abstract of minutes,"
"Annual Report,; reportof the Board, including—•' Home Evangelization," "Evangelical
Educational Institutions,"'Foreign Missions'
Treasurer's Report and report of the '-North
Pacific Missionary Institute." The contributions from the Hawaiian Islands during
the year have amounted to the sum of
(5,699 91, and from the groups of islands to
the westward, §342.75; total from the
North Pacific Islands, $6042 66, a decrease
from last year of $878.53. Sabbath afternoon services in the Gilbert Islands language have been regularly maintained in this
city, and the attendance is about fifty. Rev.
M. Maka, a returned Hawaiian missionary,
has also labored among this people at Koo-
"
"
lau and elsewhere. E. P. Adams, Esq., at
Kilauea, Kauai, has built a church for them
on his plantation and offers to contribute to
the support of a pastor. In regard to the
Chinese, of whom there are some ten thou-
1880.
sand in these Islands, we learn that the
Board has no commissioned Chinese laborers, but it has aided in Chinese evangelization, by making a grant for Ho Ah Pui, on
Kauai, of $100, the balance of his support,
some 8:250, being raised by Christian friends
on Kauai; another grant of $100 to the foreign church at Makawaoand Haiku toward
the support, of SatFan, and one of JlOOto the
Young Men's Christian Association for Sit
Moon. Much thought has been given by
the Board to the question, whether it be expedient to secure the services of an American missionary speaking Chinese, to labor
among the Chinese in this group, As yet
they have come to no decision. Aid from
the American Board for such a man can
hardly be expected. Are our planters, and
Christian friends of the Chinaman, ready to
put their shoulders to the wheel?" It
striks us that the interests of planters should
prompt them to heed this appeal. Tha
news from the different missions in the Pacific Islands, though somewhat unfavorable
in some of the Islands is, on the whole, encouraging. The French Governor of the
Marqueses has given his J influence in favor
of education, and for the suppression of intemperance, whereby the missionaries have
been much cheered. There are 40 churches
in Micronesia, under the care of the Board,
with a membership of 2,904, to which has
been added by profession 447 during the
past year.

A MONTH IN THE OLD COUNTRY.
Five days in Wales, twelve days in Scotland and thirteen days in England, have
afforded us, with the rare facilities at hand,
an excellent opportunity for seeing portions
of this goodly land in the opening springtime, when trees and hedge-rows, primroses
and butler-cups were just putting forth their
peculiar charms. The weather has been
most favorable for tourists, not too cool for
pleasant out-door excursions, with but little
rain, and if the sky has not been blue, the
clouds have not been an unpleasant gray.
Our last was written from Wales, since
that we crossed from the West to the East
of England, passing up through the beautiful lake region on to Scotland, arriving in
Edinburgh on the 20th of April. We were
kindly entertained at the elegant mansion of
R. A. Macfie, Esq., during our sojourn in
Scotland, and his generous hospitality will
long be cherished in grateful remembrance.

all

During the past month our citizens have
had a rare treat in attending the Montague
concerts at Kawaihao church. The expectations of the public have more than been
realized. We have heard many of the
leading singers in the United States, but we
can truly say that we have not enjoyed any
of them so thoroughly as we have these
here.
Phonetic spelling is gradually being
more and more used throughout the United
States. A large number of teachers and
others in some of the leading Eastern colleges write entirely in the new way. We
confess that we approve ov the nu wa.

Hoapili Baker's Liquor Bill and the
Opium Bill, have both passed by the Legislature during the past month, and now only
await the Kings signature to become laws of
the land. A petition signed by over a hundred of the ladies of our city has been presented to His Majesty, respectfully asking
him to with-hold his royal signature from
both bills. The Chamber of Commerce
has sent in a similar petition. We await
with anxiety for the result.
Rev. Dr. Hemphill returned to San
Francisco, per steamer Australia, the sth
ult. He preached twice in Fort street
church the day previous, and delivered two
most eloquent sermons, that will not soon
be forgotten by those who were fortunate to
hear them. We cannot but hope that good
will result from them to our community.
If Dr. 11. could visit us two or three times
a year and preach to us, it would undoubtedly do a great deal of good.

We are glad that the Advertiser of last
Saturday published the names of the four
native members of the Legislature who have
acquitted themselves so honorably during
this present session. They are certainly
true Hawaiians and lovers of their country.
We wish we could say the same of otheis
of the native members of the Assembly.
Mr. Joshua G. Dickson, who died on the
11th ult., was a man of sterling character,
the highest integrity, and one that the community can ill afford to lose. He was a
kind father, a loving husband, and one
whom any person would have been proud to
have had as a friend. His memory will
ever be tenderly cherished by all who knew
him.
The exhibition of the Royal school took
place at the Lyceum, Monday evening, the
19th ult. .The house was filled with an appreciative audience. The exercises consisted of singing and declamations, which
were well rendered. The boys pronounced
the English language very tcell, and Mr.
Mackintosh is entitled to great credit for his
careful training of them. No one knows so
well as the teacher how hard it is to teach
native boys another language.
We are sorry that the Legislature has
granted a subsidy to the proposed Chinese
line of steamers. By«so doing they have
opened a door for an unlimited amount ot
Chinese males to come to our islands, and
coming as passengers as they mostly will,
nothing can prevent their coming in large
quantities, anil we are vn- ,ikely to get

1880.
The Legislature was prorogued by Royal
Commission Saturday Aug. 14. .It was
thought that thus there had ceased to be
any opportunity afforded for the evil thst
may be wrought by reckless and ridiculous
legislntion. There was hardly time for
any feeling ofrelief in this thought, when a
new turn of affairs disclosed a new danger.
In a very few hours the news spread that
the King had dismissed the Ministry without a moment's notice. This action was
taken, as was supposed, at the instance of a
notorious foreign political adventurer, who
received the appointment of Minister of Foreign Relations. It was an action, on the
face of it, in direct contravention of the spirit
and object of the Constitution of this Kingdom. The old Ministry had given general
satisfaction, and had been sustained by the
expressed approval of a large majority of the
Legislature. A crowded and orderly mass
meeting assembled at Kautnakapili Church
on Monday evening, August 16th, and by a
vote of 1,500 to 26 appointed a Committee
to represent to the King the sure and sad
result of any unconstitutional and unpatriotic action Th 4! Committee was refused
access to the Palace. Only at the demand
of the foreign Diplomatic/Corps, headed by
Gen. Comly, the United States Minister
Resident, was the appointment of Moreno
revoked, It is said that bis intimacy at tbe
Palace and his interference in public affairs
has not ceased. The new Cabinet is composed of men, not only without such experience in. public affairs as to secure for them
the confidence of the community, but rather
conspicuous for such unfitness as to give occasion for a general feeling of distrust and
insecurity.
terests
of personal greed and'irresponsible
wilfulness, or shall the eternal and irreversible principles of truth and justice be maintained in their ascendency here ? There
never was a better opportunity than now, for
the establishment of a healthful public sentiment on political affairs in this Kingdom.
There never was such general agreement in
condemnation of arbitrary and unreasonable
measures. There never Was such readiness
as now, for united action on the only proper

in connection with some platform of political
principles, what they consider to be the special objects desirable in political administration at the present time. Let them rally for
the maintenance of these principles and objects from Hawaii to Niihau, both the native

out of town.
London is a city which would, in a certain sense, answer to that somewhat Hibernian compliment, as being " a nice place to
live out of." For interesting: as it is, and
fascinating as is its multitudinous life, and
instructive and profitable as are days spent
amid the treasures ot the British Museum,
or the beauties of the Art Galleries, one
finds an almost greater pleasure in its environs, and the many delightful spots which lie
near at hand, but outside of the bustle and
roar of the great thoroughfares. Windsor
Castle is, counting miles, not so very near
the city, but the train takes you down so
swifty, and through such a loveljj country
that you have scarcely more than realized
you have left the city, before you see the
Royal Standard floating above the gray
towers of the Castle. If you want a glorious view, mount up the many stairs of the
great round tower, and drink in that superb
view of forest land and winding river, and
village dotted plain and garden-like beauty
spread out before you. The Castle is most
imposing—a city in itself, and a fitting home
for the good Queen of so great a people.
And more beautiful than almost anything 1
ever saw before, or hope to see again, is the
glorious avenue of giant trees stretching
away, away into the misty distance, some
three miles or so, this via triumphalis ot
royalty. We did not seethe Queen, this we
had scarcely anticipated, but we found ample
compensation in the cordial welcome from
friends, in one of tbe pleasant homes of the
old tower of Windsor, who bear in common
with us the old family name, and who, here
on English soil, in the " Old Home," greeted those returning from the other side of the
world, after two centuries and more of absence. One of the name is a Master at
Eton, famous for its school, lying near by,
and we had a most interesting opportunity
of seeing this great and historic institution.
Should you find time to wander farther on,
you would come to the "ivy mantled tower"
of which Grey so exquisitely sings in his
plaintive " Elegy." And 1 would advise
you to go to charming Richmond. But of
all places do not fail to see Hampton Court
with its treasures of Art, and its perfect
grounds, and near at hand Bushey Park.

HOME OF MRS. CHARLES
It sounded simple enough
!
THE
The direction
which was g;ven u-j. by our friend, whose
house we were leaving, to find the home of
a lady whom we had come out to Hampstead Heath to see. Had we not however
found a rosy faced English maid, to serve as
our Ariadne, I am quite afraid we should
never have made our way through the labyrinth of country lanes and hedges, with
their windings and turns innumerable. After
London, there was something indescribably
plensar.t in this glorious wealth of spring
verdure, which bordered our way and
wrought itself into a leafy canopy above our
heads, through which the afternoon's sunshine fell in softened radiance about us. I
remember we came in our walk upon a quiet
burying .ground, with ancient stones, and
in the center of this a square and rather
angular looking church, which the ivy, clinging like a vestment, strove not wholly in
vain, to beautify. You might have thought
yourself hundreds of miles sway from the
great city, so peaceful and still was everything. Then, after other wanderings and a
superb avenue of tress bordering our way
like a guard of honor, in their finest array,
we came to a charming little country house,
with a glorious view over the heath. We
were amply repaid for our walk by the kindly
smile and cordial greeting which were here
awaiting us, and for which it were worth
the while to come much further.
The literature which has arisen in reference to that remarkable period called in History, the Reformation of Germany, with
which is so inseparately connected the name
of that heroic man. Dr. Martin Luther,
forms a fine library in itself. It is one of
those fertile themes, which seem almost exhaustless in their resources, and which find
in every succeeding generation new investigators and chroniclers, still voluminous as
are all these writings in various languages.
I think I am quite right in saying that it
was left to an English lady of our own day,
to tell the grand and glowing story of the
intrepid Reformer's life, to the young people of England and America. This is very
much to say, but I am sure all those who
know ol the wide and continued success of
that most delightful of books " Chronicles of
the
" Schfimberg Cotta Family," will
most
heartily agree with me. It is because I feel
that iv authoress, Mrs. Charles, (ip that
the horizon is '• Harrow on the Hill," one of
the famous schools for English boys, its
spire just visible. Within 1 am sure you
would be charmed with our hostess, a lady
in middle life, with an earnest face, a voice
nnd manner wholly and most agreeably
quiet and moderate, and something in her
way of speaking on many varied subjects
which suggests the power which is iw>nifest
in her writings. 1 know of no one who
would shrink more than she from sitting for
a newspaper photograph, and yet I have felt
drawn almost unconsciously into giving it,
by the thought of the sympathetic recipients
of the same. Mrs. Charles lives in this delightful home, on the verdant edge of the
mighty city, with her mother, a sweet and
gentle lady, surrounded by her books, her
flowers and those thousand attractions which
moke English ' interiors" the most beautiful in the world- I have mentioned the
*■
Schomberg Cotta Family," because of its
being the book by which"Mrs. Charles is the
best known with us, at least. One must
really know Germany to appreciate it fully.
I have a copy of it now, which 1 used once
as a sort of delightful guide book in my
rambles amid scenes which the name of
Martin Luther had made famous. I know
of no English book which seems so filled
with the sweet, natural grace of German
life and character, and the style is so true
that you might indeed believe it to be a
translation from some old German chronicle.
There is a sort of delicious fragrance about
the book, which comes to me like the scent
of pines from the grand old Thurnigian
forest.
But besides this, you know Mrs. Charles
has written many books, the titles and contents of which you are as familiar with as I
am myself.
Then she has written some most beautiful poems and has written with equal grace
of the hymns which have grown dear to the
Christian Church. She has dipped into almost every period of Christian History and
found herself at home in all. Few have
such a power of vivifying the past as she.
And then it is not alone as the painter of
history that we should prize her, but as the
earnest faithful Christian woman and authoress, who holds her pen as a consecrated
instrument for the great and glorious Cause,
which our Lord has left to His followers to
carry forward.
We had the pleasure of a delightful stroll

with her off on the Heath, where about
us the furze was crowning itself with long
golden sprays. It was. one of the fairest
days of the early summer, and the whole
world was in its beauty. The view of
London from this point was wondrously
fine. We snw it lying partly in sunshine,
and partly in shade, with its thousand spires
and domes rising out nl a sea of mist. And
now in parting, I am sure I am but putting
into words, the desires of many beside myself, when I wish all joy and gladness and
blessing for our friends at Hampstead Heath.
OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE.
Mere existence at either Oxford or Cambridge must in itself be a sort of education. By a species of spiritual absorption
the most inert mind must needs receive, to a
certain degree, the beautifying and elevating
culture which the historic and scholastic
atmosphere of these venerable seats of learning seems so peculiarly adapted to convey.
Leaving them this lower type of inspiration
and passing to the sphere, where it is to be
hoped most men are to be found, that of the
wors-ers and not the drones, it will be readily perceived how grand an influence these
institutions by their very presence, are capab'e of exerting upon all earnest men.
There are those who can do the better work
with the tones of sweet music coming to
them, forming as it were a rhymic and
me.odious accompaniment to their thoughts.
And 1 could fancy in a somewhat similnr
way, it might be possible for many men to
be here stimulated to loftier thought and
more poetic utterance, by the subtle power
which antiquity, added to beauty of material
form, seems to possess. In all the world
Oxford and Cambridge are unique. You
will find nothing on the continent to compare with them, and in the New World, of
course, comparisons cannot for centuries be
sought. You will notice that I am saying
nothing in reference to the standard of education, or of the training which in the past
these universities have offered or have still
to offer. But that I am alluding solely to
their mere shell, as it were the outside
covering and adornment, which joined to a
thousand classic and historic memories and
associations, impresses all who are privileged to come to visit them.
It would be difficult to say which were
the more beautiful, Oxford or Cambridge.
There are certain essential points of resemblance and yet each possesses a marked individuality. Cambridge University has the
advantage of being in a far smaller town,
and in a town where quaint architecture and
peaceful streets seem in harmony with the
colleges. While Oxford University on the
other hand suffers by its nearness to a large
and uninteresting town, which presses and
crowds upon the grey and ancient buildings
in a way which is far from pleasing. Still
these are lesser matters. They are both, as
seats of learning, now dignified and crowned
bycenturies, beautified and enriched by refined taste and wealth, eloquent with a long
and worthy past, singularly attractive. 1
chanced to be at Cambridge during the
Faster holidays, and found it given over to
the unbroken silence of vacation. You
might have thought it a city of the dead,
but for the occasional passing of some student
in cap and gown, whom necessity or incline-
�tion had led to remain here during this
holiday season. In thinking of either Oxford or Cambridge, you must dismiss all
ideas of one building, or of a few grouping
about a central and main edifice. They
are as it were cities of colleges, each of
these a little world in itself. In Cambridge
I felt this especially, because the colleges
were separated at times by such extensive
open spaces, you felt as it were in passing
under the gateway, like entering a feudal
castle, where the inmates acknowledged only
their chieftain as ruler, lean through no
words of description convey to you an adequate and correct idea of the rare and peculiar beauty of Cambridge. How I wish it
were in my power to do so. You pass beneath massive and imposing arches, b-nring
the date of centuries long departed, and the
coats of arms of sovereigns, who have
yielded their crowns to others, and these in
turn to others, and into wide and carefully
kept quadrangles, where in the entrance of
encircling walls the smoothest of turf gleams
like a huge emerald in a setting of stone.
About you are grey and time stained buildings, which for ages have been the homes of
the very flower of England's youth. You
wonder, entering at the superb Gothic Halls,
with their dark rich carvings, drooping banners and armorial adornments, at the
chapels, gems of architectural beauty, dim
with the religious light which streams
through jewelled windows ; at the elegance,
the luxury, the magnificence which surround you, and you say "These are the
palaces of princes." Or again, without, you
catch the gleam of a peaceful river, flowing
between verdant banks, mirroring ancient
and majestic trees, and bearing upon its
bossom white and stately swans; or you
gaze with delight at some antique arch,
crumbling with age and festooned with ivy,
or higher up at the picturesque beauty of
some mullioned window, upon whose ledge
a row of flowers gleam like crimson flame,
or you trace the leafy scroll-work of some
graceful stone carving, out lined against the
warm rich blue of the April sky and you ex
claim with enthusiasm, while the- soft
chimes of chapel bells deepen your delight,
Here must indeed be the homes and
"haunts
of artists and poets."
There are at Cambridge seventeen colleges
and four halls As a University it has
always held a high position and numbers
among its alumni, some of the most noted
names in English letters nnd statesmanship.
Especial attention is here paid to mathematical study, while nt Oxford tbe highest
honors are generally obtained by those who
have devoted themselves to classical studies.
Few views are more impressive than that
with which you are favored from one of the
many towers in Oxford. Beneath you lie a
city of scholastic buildings, varied by verdant courts and lovely promenades. And if
you are delighted by this birds-eye view
from above, your enthusiasm is increased
tenfold as you walk through the college
grounds and under the shadows of these
mediaeval walls. The names of the colleges
are known the world over, Christ Church,
Baliol, Magdalen, Trinity, Corpus Christi,
Oriel, and many more. Among the most
interesting places to visit, is the Bodbian
Library, founded in the 16th century and
SEPTEMBER.
one of the finest libraries in the world. A
monument on one of the principal avenues,
marks the spot where Ridley, Latimer and
Cranmer, found a martyr's glorious death in
the midst of persecuting flames. If we
found Cambridge deserted, we found Oxford populous with students. It was at the
height of the examination period, and young
Oxford was in a state of suspense and excitement. The week following, the various
exercises connected with commemoration
were to take pluce. We owed much of the
pleasure of our visit to the courteous and
kindly attention of a fellow of Merton
College, who guided us most skilfully and
satisfactorily through this "maze" of learning.
SOME LONDON
PREACHERS.
I remember an American lady once saying to me " Oh, on Sundays in England we
never lack for entertainment; we always
endeavor to manage our excursions so, that
we may be back in London for the Sunday,
in order to have as many sermons as possible." You may have heard on the other
hand of the Frenchman who said he would
r.'tlii-r spend a Sunday at the bottom of a
well in the centre of the Great Pyramid than
in London. Still, I imagine, the number
of those who would agree with the American lady, is not small. It is to be hoped
that this innocent dissipation may result
beneficially to those who are led to indulge
in it. In coming to the subject of the London Sabbath, to its manifold missionary
efforts, to its varied observance, to the army of
lay and clerical workers, one reaches a theme
so vast, that here, I must content myself
with briefly mentioning a few of those men,
who are at the present time of especial power and note in this world of a city. In the
English pulpit to-day, are some of the strongest men, an English speaking race has given the latter half of this country. Whether
churchmen or non-conformists, they are rightly to be considered as among* the grandest
purifying, civilizing, spiritualizing
in the world.
Spurgeon is now one of the sights people
cross the Atlantic to see, as they come for
the Cathednl at Cologne, or the Abbey ot
Westminster. He may not please all, but
he cannot fail to impress all by his intense
earnestness, and many he moves like a
mighty wind. May I be pardoned a slight
digression here, and the expression of a private and personal opinion. Tnere are some
four or five men in Europe, who are worthy
to be placed among the great men of history,
men who have attained heights which tower
above the heights of other men. We are
always, if we only know it, living in an
"heroic age." Sometimes we call men great,
rather because of the antiquity of their
While
names than for any other reason.
of
the
forces
at work
those of our own century we fail to honor
as they deserve,. But, as 1 was saying,
there seem to be living just now, four or five
of these great men in Europe, great in the
present, and for all coming ages ; and these
are, in Music—Wagner ; in History—Car-
lyle; in Poetry—Victor Hugo; in Politics—
Bismarck ; and in the Pulpit—Spurgeon.
One of the magnificent spectacles of London is Mr. Spurgeon's church, filled with
thousands of people, every pew packed and
the aisle crowded. The church is so arranged that the galleries run entirely around
I*Bo.
67
THE FRIEND,
the church, in this way accommodating an
immense number of listeners. The music
is of the simplest character, but profoundly
impressive. There is no organ, no choir,
no paid artistic performers. A gentleman,
with a strong full voice, leads the singing in
which this great congregation joins with a
heartiness, a "whole-souledness" that causes
the strains of the grand old hymns to rise
like the mighty music of the sea. Nothing
could be more simple, nothing more inspiring. A little s.tout, thick set man comes
down on to the raised platform, and takes his
place before the reading desk. But we think
there is surely some mistake, that after all
we may hive come in vain, and that for
this evening some one is to take Mr. Spur-
peon's
place.
But presently he gives out
the opening hymn, and then reads one of the
Psalms of David, nnd now we ore sure the
famous preacher is before us. For there is
only one voice like his it London, in England, so el••tic, so powerful, so vibratory, so
musical. It would be impossible for Mr.
Spurgeon to speak without saying something
which bears the stamp of his own peculiar
genius. You might, find him lacking at
times in refinement, in delicacy of expression, but never in a grand, convincing earnestness, in a large braherly tenderness. Thousands flock year after year to hear him. He
seems to be as popular to-day as he ever
was. His sermons are full of a peculiar,
vigorous poetry of his own, and picturesque
with anecdotes and descriptions. Smiles
and tears come and go on this mightly sea
of upturned faces, like April sunshine ami
shadow. He speaks like a man, keenly
alive to the great, yearning needs of humanity, acquainted with the joys and sorrows,
the heartaches, the disappointments, the
struggles of his brother men. and he speaks
like an apostle on whom the flame of inspiration has descended, of the grand and
weighty themes of time and eternity. It is
impossible to be in his presence, and not to
feel the strong, grand spirit of this consecrated man. Almost more than any one else I
hive ever seen, he seems to have attained to
that ideil of the Christian life, which he
himself holds in his lustrous heavenly beauty before his hearers—that life wherein
44
every meal becomes a sacrament; every vesture, a vestment; and every breath, a psalm !"
One could scarcely conceive of a greater
contrast than that which a service at Westminster Abbey offers, to one at Mr. Spurgeon's Tabernacle. The music in the Abbey, though so entirely different, is however
most beautifully impressive. We had tbe
pleasure of hearing the venerable and distinguished Dean Stanley preach here on WbitSunday. Dean Stanley's name is too well
hnd widely known to call for any especial
mention here. He ranks among the very
foremost of the clergymen of the Church of
England. His writing's cover a wide range,
and his name will always be remembered
with honor, as that of one who, with spirit
almost in advance of his day and generation,
has sought to diffuse a broad and generous
Catholicity of Christian fellowship and religious feeling. The years are beginning to
leave their traces on the finely chiseled,
scholarly features of the Dean, and his voice
no longer has the ring of youth, but tbe noble strength of his intellect still continues

feeling. Perhaps the most popular of clerical writers to-day in England is Canon
Farrar. His " Life of Christ came immediately into public favor, and his recently
published elaborate, eloquent and vigorous
Life of St. Paul." is meeting with even a
wider sale. Dr. Farrar is one of the most
prominent speakers and workers in behalf of
the temperance movement, which just at the
present time is advancing in such u healthy
and satisfactory manner in England. Few
things afforded me more pleasure during my
stay in London, than a masterly sermon of
Canon Farrars, in the ancient Church of
St. Margarets, on Hebrew Poetry." It
was delivered with most admirable charms
and distinctness, and was itself so beautified
with a vigorous and poetic spirit, and varied
by eloquent and fitting flights of refined and
lofty imagination, that it was indeed a worthy treatment of this most inspiring theme.
For men of thoughtful and cultured mind
nnd earnest spirit, there could, I am sure, be
no more delightful preacher than Rev. Stopford Brooke, also a clergyman of the Church
of England. Physically he is a noble specimen of English manhood, of the " Muscular
Christianity" of which the late Charles
"

"
Kingsley knew the worth. (Speaking of
Kingsley, I cannot help saying here, that
this English visit seemed in some way \ess
complete, because Kingsley was no longer
living, and instead of the grand, actual presence ofthis most heroic and brotherly man,
there was the tree-shadowed grave at Eversley, and the tablet in Westminster Abbey. \
Mr. Brooke's sermons in printed form have
gone all over England. I took up one day
a volume of them, in a friend's house, already in the 14th edition, ifI remember correctly. He preaches in the simplest, plainest of cbjirch edifices, Bedford Chapel.
There are those who think Mr. Brooke
scarcely orthodox in all points, still, I think,
in the company of those who listen with reverent eagerness for the utterances of the
Master's voice, rather than the dictum of
dogmatic self-sufficiency, this brave and
pure-hearted and earnest man is to be found.
But 1 find as the memories of these English
Sabbaths come to me, so many of whom I
would speak, that I scarcely can do more
than give the very briefest notice of a
few more names. In St. Paul, that grandest
of temples, I listened one afternoon with
thousands of others to the well-known Canon
Liddon, one of the clearest thinkers and reasoners in the English Church. Returning
a moment to the non-conformists, I would
mention Dr Parker, who preaches to one of
the first audiences in London. He is a man
of great force and originality, and is extremely popular. His church resembles in
its interior many of our American Churches,
and the audience looked less English than
most we saw in London. At some of those
mighty " May Meetings," we heard a number of the more distinguished English clergymen and ministers. Especially worthy of
note are Canon (now Bishop) Ryle of Liverpool, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Bishop of London. Dr. Manning, the eloquent and influential Secretary of the Tract
Society and many others, all men worth
hearing often.

of the difficult problems of our modern
Christian civilization. The time is near, if
it has not already come, when in this community this should be made a public charge.
It may not be wisest or best to organize a
pauper department of the government. But
the number and needs of the poor have so
increased that private charity is incompetent
to meet the necessities of the case. Time
and money, thought and care have been
freely and generously bestowed. Our citizens have always responded most nobly and
heartily to all claims on their humanity and
benevolence, nnd some have been ready to
go far beyond what was their due proportion.
It is in accordance with the usages of this
government to supplement and encourage
charitable endeavors by grants in aid. What
good reason can any one give why the government should refuse to assign to the
Strangers' Friend Society a certain portion
of the Hospital Tax ?
The ladies
who have the charge of this most
praiseworthy charitable organization, and
who have
received such warm expressions of gratitude as they can show from
those who have been the recipients of their
bounty ought to receive some public recognition of their truly noble labors, and all the
aid that public money can give. Only eternal shame and ever-deepening misery is the
fitting lot of him who shall hear from the
lips of Infinite Mercy the condemnation in
such few and simple words, yet so pointed
and weighty, •' Ye did it not."

EDITOR ABROAD-No. 6.
Having spent a few months in London
and its environs, on the evening ot May
27th, we glided away to the British Chan-
nel, and crossed over under the darkness of
night, to Flushing, in Holland. In the
early morning we found ourselves hurrying
away over green meadows, windmills, redtiled roofs, canals, and long rows of trees as
straight and regular as soldiers on parade,
lining the banks of the dikes, told us but too
plainly that we were in Holland about
which we had read so much. For some
hours we were privileged to travel among
Dutch scenes and scenery, ere we crossed
the border into Germany. After a few more
hours we entered the city of Cologne, where
we had made our arrangements to spend the
Sabbath. Our Hotel was situated under
the very shadow of the lofty and towering
spires of the Cathedral, which has been in
process of building so many centuries and
is to be formally completed the coming Autumn. The workmen are now busy lifting
stone after stone to its place, on the lofty
spires, while in other parts of the edifice the
work of restoration is going forward, thus,

capital of the new Empire- of Germany.
We find our lodgings in the very heart of
the cily—39 Behrenstrasse—where have
been dated so many letters, which hove
been published in the friend during the
past two years. Directly in front is the University, from whose gateway we often see
so many students cnmi.ig forth, while on the
left is the Emperor's palace.
On Sabbath morning June 6th, we attended at tbe Koyal Cathedral. The audience
gathering filled its spacious accommodations.
The singing was superb, the congregation
joining with the well-trained choir. Soon
after the opening exercises, it was most gratifying to witness the noble and stately form
of the Emperor, unattended and unheralded,
enter the Royal Pew, remain standing while
the opening exercises were in progress, and
then see him take his seat like the humblest
worshipper in the great assembly. It was a
rainy and exceedingly unpleasant Sabbath
morning, and we had expected, that if the
Sovereign of this great Empire appeared in
church, it would have been with a number
of court-officers, and perhaps a display of
military, hence, to see the venerable and noble old Emperor who had been present in so
many battle-fields and memorable historic
scenes, enter the house of God, as any humble and devout worshipper, was the more
gratifying. The Court Chaplain spoke
most eloquently, so fur as voice and gesture
were concerned.
We observed that the

members of the congregation. Here, by the
way we would remark that, rarely in America or England, have we been present at any
religious or public gathering upon the Sabbath morning or evening when the privilege
has been omitted of allowing the congregation to contribute to some good object.
We find the streets and avenues of Berlin
broad and convenient. The often described
" Unter den Linden." is a broad and noble
street, lined with long rows of maple, chesnut and lime trees, which are now clothed
in all their spring beauty and foliage. It is
quite beyond our ability, if so disposed, to
adequately and appropriately describe the
various Museums, Picture-galleries, Palaces,
and Public buildings of this renowned Capital of a great Empire, One featore strikes
us with marked impression, we refer to the

marching of military companies, and all the

THE FIUEND.
OCTOBER 1. IBSO.
The last month has added another to
the long list of sudden surprises, which
make the life and history of these Is.lands so
full ol romantic interest. On the removal
of Moreno from the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, the Minister of the Interior took his
place, ad interim. Many measures were
adopted, and many appointments to public
office were made, to say the least, of questionable propriety. But the Ministry, even
sooner than was expected, found themselves
involved in inextricable difficulties in the
line of policy they were pursuing with such
infatuation. Fortunately the facts were
made public in time to give the opportunity
and hope of rectifying the blunder they had
made, be/ore irreparable injury had been
done. The upshot of the late political coup
d'etat is the dismissal of every member of
the late Cabinet, and the appointment of
Hon. W. L. Green ns Minister of Foreign
Affairs, with the Premiership; Hon. H. A.
P. Carter, Minister of the Interior, and Hon.
J. S. Walker, Minister of Finance. With
men of such ability and standing, in the
administration of the Government, deservine the confidence and support of every
friend of Hawaiian nationality and prosperity, it will not be long, we trust, before this
Kingdom will recoup, and her political
affairs be in a far more healthful condition,
as the ultimate consequence of suffering for
the last two months such political embar-
One of the most grievous mistakes in
the line of policy, pursued by the late Ministry, and their advisers and supporters, was
the utterly unfounded and generous assertion, that it was the color of their skin, and
not the character of their actions, which was
the real ground of opposition to them and to
their policy and measures. To be lured to
destruction by plausible vidians has been the
sad fate of nations as well as individuals; for
human nature is weak, and people can easily
be cajoled into accepting that which suits
their prejudices. Mere flatterers or favorites
are not true friends. We are sure it needs
only some sharp prick of adversity, some
brief experience of trouble, to convince this
Hawaiian people that their true friends are
those who advise such actions as will not
interfere with the maintenance of mutual
respect and sympathy, nor in any way trespass on the right of others. An infidel
social science considers inequality the great
curse of humanity, and would drag down
everything that is high and honorable to its
own base level of sloth and sensuality.
Christian benevolence, on the other hand, is
the unstinted giving of aid and comfort to
help every one rise to higher and higher
position through higher and higher worthiness.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD.-No. 45
A CITY OF GREAT MEN.
You know, dear Friend, I have been from
the first a rambler, jotting down pictures and
experiences of travel, without very much order or sequence; and availing myself of your
always kind and encouraging permission, 1
have taken you hither and thither, without
much regard to geographical limitations and
distances. And now lam going to be more
presumptuous than ever, and ask you to
wander a little while with me in various
nook, and places, which have nothing at all
to do with the countries of which I have
been talking of late, but which in their own
way, will each have something of interest for
you, I trust. It is something of a leap from
Old England to Central Germany, from the
turbulent activity and many-voiced life of
mighty London, to the dreamy peacefulne.s
and summer-hush of Weimar, whose past
gives life to its present, and where you keep
company with the dead, rather than with the
living; but this leap I am going to ask you
to make. (Would that all our leaps had as
pleasant an ending as this !!
Goethe, whose fine perception of the beautiful no one would I think doubt, came to
Weimar in the first flush of hi. splendid
young manhood and .tayed—fifty years and
more. There were many circumstances
which led to this, but not the least, was, I am
convinced the exquisite natural beauty of
his surroundings. I first visited Weimar
some two or three years ago, and in the very
heart of winter; and I enjoyed the old Ducal
capital then, but far more a week or two
since, seeing it tbis time in the perfection of
mid-summer beauty. Weimar, would have
held always undoubtedly an eminently respectable place in German annals, but beyond
these comparatively unknown to the world,
had not the Grand Duke, Carl Augu.t, towards the close of the last century, had the
wisdom, skill, and good taste to draw about
him some of the greatest men of letters, of
his own or any time. Through this happy
fact, his capital has come to be one of the
Meccas of Germany and of the world, immortalized through the names of those who
here lived and wrote and died, and made of
it a center of poetic inspiration for the time
in which they lived. Every one is familiar
with the exquisite picture which Lewe. in
his " Life of Goethe" paints of Weimar in
�74
111 t
the last century, portraying the animated
and vigorous intellectual life of the Court of
Carl August, which though one of the very
smallest of Europe, was al the same time the
most interesting in many ways. Goethe,
as you will remember, was for a number of
year, one of the cabinet minister, in thi.
diminutive realm. Hi. name alone would
be of importance enough to give any place
celebrity, but Weimar wa. at the same time
the home of Herder, of Wieland, of Schiller,
■and of a brilliant circle besides. In this
charming court the Duke and Duchess did
the honors as host and hostess, as pstron and
patroness of letters, of science, and all the
arts, with not only the refinement of birth
and training, but with the higher grace, of
sympathetic feeling and intellectual merit.
It wis a unique and remarkable spectacle
thi. tiny realm, with most nf the titles and
appurtenances of an empire, this school of
poetry and the fine arts, with royal fosterparents, this grouping of great men and
clever and fascinating women. It was a
period of brilliant bloom and splendid fruit-
age, and though oftentimes excessive snd
extravagant in certain phases of its development, was after all the very golden era of
German literature.
Weimar is a charmingly irregular old
town, with here and there open "Places,"
surrounded with quaint and antique buildings, and beautified with many statues and
memorial monuments. The lsrge park
which sweeps about one side of it, and wanders in a delightful way up near to the
homes of the perfple, gives great beauty to
the place. This is the park which the
Grand Duke and Goethe and all the friends
liked so well, and which to my fancy seems
to be more alive with memories of them,
than the old stone houses and palaces which
are shown you here. There is within this
verdant world a white cottage covered with
climbing roses, where Goethe loved most of
all to live, Away from men and where he
drew in long drafts of inspiration from the
beautiful scenes about him. 1 wonder if in
a dumb, dim way, the trees and the meadows
and the gently murmuring river llm, flowing
onward through the forest, do not miss their
old friend and lover. Certainly this wss the
very home for a poet. As we stand before
it for a little while in the early summer twilight, we do not wonder at hi. choice. Full
hearted roses, open lavishly their stores of
beauty to us. The air is perfumed with the
faint odor of new-mown-hay, which lies in
long golden drifts between us snd the river.
To right snd left stretches away a broad
open road, which leads off to the world,
which just now doe. not claim us. but which
it is well after all to know exists. Behind
and before are the woods, with their shadowy
depths and tremulous lights, and above a
summer sky fading through a thousand marvels of light and tinting into the twilight and
the night. Following the road (till further
on, we come to the royal chateau of Belvedere, which commands a fine view of the
surrounding picturesque country. From this
point to the town in the plain below, leads

ing mansion befitting a minister of the Grand
Duke. And after seeing where they lived,
when here among men, you can also see
where their bodies have been placed now
that ihe spirits have flown. The beautiful
old cemetery where they are entombed with
t«ken the train thither, had time for saun-
tering and driving in its winding streets and
were back again with our friends in the German Athens, before the clock in the old
church tower had decided to strike the hour
of ten. Early as we started, the sun was
ahead of us, and was sending lor.g slant arrows of light through the fields of summer
grain and over the grassy slopes still silvered with the moist touch of the night. Men
stood in the fields ready for the peaceful
campaign of the day, and as we swept by,
leaned for a moment in unconscious grace
on the long handle of their fresh whetted
scythes, which should before the twilight lay
low the gleaming ranks of grain. The birds
too were awake before us, and sang in answering chorus to the low murmur of insectlife and rustling leaves, the morning hymn
of nature and the country.
Our road
grew more and more picturesque as we advanced, rising from rolling wave-like fields
to lofty hills with wooded slopes. Jena lies
in a graceful amphitheatre of hills, which
serve as an exquisite setting for the grey
towers, venerable with age, and the high and
pointed red-tiled rools of the little town in
the valley beneath. It seems sadly inappropriate, that this peaceful town, devoted to the
arts and the sciences, should have given its
name to that fierce battle-field near by, rendered celebrated through the fierce contest
waged there between the French and Prussians so many long years ago. But no echo
of this seems now to survive here.
Jena has been the seat of a renowned university for more than three centuries, which
still occupies an honorable place in Germany,
famed for its institutions of learning. There
is a charmingly primitive appearance about
the town, its streets and ancient houses, extending even to its well-kept garden, and
arching avenues. We found Jena slowly
coming back to life, after the rest of the
night. The good citizens tarried for a moment in their blossoming gardens, where
white lilies lifted their head, coronetted with
rain-drops, and then went forth for the more
resolute action of daily business. School
children came up the street with bags of
books on their arms and smiles on their faces.
Here and there a student passed on to an
early lecture. In Jena still stand, the old
inn of"The Bear," where Dr. Martin Luther
after his "Patmos Exile" on the Wartburg,
tarried while on hi. way to Wittenberg. It
was here, that that very interesting conversation was held by him with certain Swiss
students, of which we find so quaint and entertaining an account in the old churches.
There is a delightful old custom in Jena
which I wish might be copied in other university and college towns. When any fludent of the university, who has passed out
into active life, has done anything to honor
himself and hi. Alma Mater, hi. name is
placed in a little tablet on the house where
he lodged while here. You walk here as it
were through a gallery of celebrated names.
We found a keen enjoyment in thus tracing
down through centuries, famous and now historic names to these simple and unpretentious student homes, ft was in a certain
way, to have these men, some of whom have
had their names long starred among the immortals, back again with us in the freshness,
some of the grand dukes, ha. a certain charm
and interest, even if melancholy.
You
would find the plain tomb by passing down
the main avenue, where the linden trees
meet nnd entwine like a gothic arch. In the
early morning the place is vocal with birds.
Herder', statue stands appropriately before
the massive ancient church where he preached, near which he lived and died, and in
whose nave he lies buried, beneath a slab
bearing his motto, Licht, Liebe. Leben,
(Life, Love. Life). In another street you
would find the house of Wieland. The Ducal palace is an immenseaffair near the river
and the park, very grand in its way, but
nevertheless, we are told, Goethe's friend, the
Grand Duke, preferred getting away from it
to the poet's cottage with its roses and the
society of its owner. If the poets have been
the glory of Weimar—Weimar acknowledge,
this in many grateful, reverent ways. But
in no more graceful way than in those exquisite rooms in the palace, ornamented with
paintings illustrating the works of those who
have contributed most to the renown of the
town. Facing the principal court, there is a
charming balcony, festooned with the most
perfect wreaths of natural ivy, which makes
of the place a sort of bower, and which date
from Goethe's day. This was one of his
favorite nooks.
I would not advise any driving business
man, whose time is limited, to come to Weimar. I think an inforced stay of a few
hours would render him insane. It is the
quietest of quiet places, a delicious place for
revery and dreaming and everything of that
kind; but the people there have a ghostly
way of flitting about like figures in a dream.
A solitary soldier in flaming uniform, crosses
the "Place" and then fades away you scarcely know how. Women fill their immense
bucket, at the quaint fountain, surmounted
by a lazy lion in stone, gazing patiently forward, and then depart in long lines like
those weary of life. And the withered old
lady with her stores of summer sweetness,
gathered into purple plums and downy
peaches, waits at the corner for buyers who
never come. But as 1 was saying, it is a
place of the dead and not of the living.
Come here with this idea and you will never
weary of the place; you learn to love it, for
what it once was, and hence, in a certain
way eternally is; for its memories, not its
hopes; for its streets where great men walked, for the graves where they lie.
early morning in an old university town.
Some places are, like flowers seen at their
best " with the dew on them." While others,
as certain busy marts ofCommerce and traffic,
should never be visited in the early morning,
but only in the rush and tumult of high
noon. To the first class 1 am persuaded the
peaceful old university town of Jena belongs.
At least, seeing it the other morning in those
sweet, fresh hours of the day, when a large
part of the world is asleep, and finding it so
winningly beautiful, I have been led to this
conclusion. Though Jena lie. some miles
away from the town of Weimar, we had in the hopefulness, in th* bloom of their
�THE FRIEND, OCTOBER,
young manhood, with brow, showing the
crown of genius, unhidden by the laurel
chaplets, yet to be placed there by the world.
It was a goodly company; and the day seemed to grow the brighter tor these names,
written in plain letters on white walls, circled by wreaths of vines and summer verdure. I noticed those of Novalis, of. sacred
memory, Klopstork, Goethe, Schiller, and a
host of others, dear to all German hearts.
Here in Jena, Goethe wrote his exquisite
poem "Hermann and Dorothea," and Schiller
"Wallenstein."
If you find memories and names, you find
also statues in bronze and marble, looking
out from amid the shelter and embrace of
drooping trees. The little town university
does not. forget the sons who have gathered
here strength for the work and mission of
life: And the work still goes forward here.
As we stood for a moment under the elms
near the university, we could hear the words
of some lecturer, unfolding truths new and
old to his listening students.
Pleasantest of all, however, of the innocent sensations of this early morning visit,
was that afforded us by a little troop of choir
boys who crossed our path. The good old
custom still survives here, (so well known in
Luther's days), of permitting the choir boys
to sing in the village streets. I quite forgot
the century and felt as if Martin Luther, the
sweet boy chorister of Eisenach, and his little
companions, were singing for us. They all
wore solemn little cloaks of biack, their
black hats also brought their sweet pale faces
into pathetic relief, for ynu saw and felt that
they ate the hard bread of charity. But
how they sang! The morning air seemed
vibrant with delicious melody, and the bird,
hushed their songs in the trees. You would
have wondered with me at the exquisite
training of these young voices and at their
fine rendering of old German songs and
chorals. We heurd them in delighted surprise and these hymns of the early morning,
sung by these young musicians who seemed
to come to us as a vision of the middle ages,
vanishing again, have echoed in our hearts
ever since. But if we tarry too long we fear

A MEMORABLE BATTLE-FIELD.
Leipsic is an interesting and animated
city, one of the most enterprising business
centers in Europe, for centuries attracting
buyers and sellers from all parts of the world.
from the far east and south, to its spring and
autumn fairs, the greatest book emporium in
the world, possesses an ancient and renowned university, and is famous for its musical
advantages; but though interested in all
these points, the principal objects which attracted my attention in a recent visit to this
bustling city were those connected with that
great battle which occurred near Leipsic in
1813 and invaded these now peaceful streets.
Every school boy has, I imagine, fought out
in fancy the battle of Waterloo which occurred two year, later. I had the pleasure, a
melancholy pleasure however, last summer
of standing on the memorial bill, crowned by
its crouching lion, and of surveying this
great historic field where Napoleon's sun
went down. I am not quite sure whether
the field of Leipsic is as familiar to all, and
75
1880.
yet the battle here waged wss the most prolonged and sanguinary which history records.
Troubled as our own day still is with wars
and rumors of wars, we can scarcely now
have an idea of the great storm waves the
restless genius and insatiable ambition of
Napoleon raised in Europe in the early part
of this century. They rose into a wild burst
of tempestuous fury during those four terrible days from 16th to 19th October, ISI3,
when nearly half a million of men met in
fearful combat within sight of the churchspires of Leipsic. It seems almost incredible that such numbers could have been gathered together, yet history records that on the
side of the allies in this "Battle of the Nations," were 300.000 men. Napoleon had
something like 150,000 troops. The allies
consisted of the Russians, Aostrians, Prussians. The place where the tragedy of these
four bloody days was enacted, is admirably
adapted to serve as a field for the handling
of such immense bodies of men. It is less
beautiful and picturesque than Waterloo,
which possesses more elevated points. But
it would seem almost as if in mine way this
great plain stretching away for mdes had
been created for some such purpose, as that
which gives it such celebrity in history. On
a slight elevation to the south, Napoleon had
taken his position and watched the progress
of the battle from this point. Surrounded
by these golden fields of ripening grain,
stretching far away to the verdant groupings
of trees Nearer the city, rejoicing in all this
summer beauty, in the blue of the afternoon
sky, in the prosperous scenes of country life,
in a thousand tokens of peace and plenty, I
found it far from easy to realize that so many
thousands here suffered and died on the very
ground 1 was standing. There seemed a
mute protest in this loveliness of the natural
world against the passion, the blood-thirstiness, the revenge, the ambition of men. A
shadow for the moment seemed to come
across the shining of the sun, as I thought
of the agony, of the wailing, of the woe of
those autumn days, of all those maimed bodies which were laid away under these same
gleaming harvest-fields, of the blood which
stained the soil about me. Thousands and
thousands died here. This lovely country
is one vast burying-ground, and you almost
ilreati to part the standing grain, and gather
the field-daisies and poppies, for fear somewhere not far below lie hideous relics of the
ghastly conflict. A maimed and crippled
soldier who was wounded in the Danish war
some years ago, act. as our guide. On a
height facing the Napoleon-hill far away in
the blue distance, the then monarchs of Russia, Austria and Prussia, met to give thanks
for their victory. The spot is marked by an
obelisk. Our soldier friend is a cheery fellow, with all his troubles. He and bis good
frau live in a little cottage near by, and to
every new comer they tell over the story of
the battle, which they have learned by heart.
They show you bone, and skulls and ru.ty
sword, and broken guns, and all manner of
dreadful things which they have picked up
here. In different parts of the field and in
the woods near by are monuments to mark
the spot where officers of distinction fell.
Involuntarily as you wander over this storied
battle-ground, you feel the presence of armed
hosts, the shock of contending forces, the
wild ruth ofcavalry, bear the thunder of the
cannon, the cries of the victors, the groans of
the dying. It all grow, fearlully real, and
you are glad to find it only a fancy. But
what a reality it once wa«! There is a
monument to mark the spot where Napoleon
stood. You see here the famous Napoleon
hat copied -in bronze. Not far away is a
spring now sealed over our garrulous
coachman tells u. that Napoleon drank
here, and that since then the water ha. poi-
—
soned all who have tasted it. Will you believe bis story ? There are stories and
dotes without end connected with various*
points. It would be interesting to tell some
of them, if one had but the time. But we
must leave them now and the battle-field,
and be back again in Leipsic before the July
sun has gone down behind the fruit trees
bordering our western horizon.
DRESDEN AND ITS MADONNA.
Few continental cities are so well known
to the
Americans as Dresden,
the capital ■ A kingdom of Saxony. It is
a source of*sJsWi pleasure to me to think
that perhaps in some chance moment, some
one who ha. been in Dresden may glance at
these hastily written lines, and at the sight
of this city's name (so potent is the spell ol
some names) recall pleasant memories of this
charming city on the Elbe. The wealthy
and splendor loving king, and prince, who
have made their home here for centuries,
have filled the city with richest stores of art,
and its cabinets of jewels, its museums, its
picture-gallery, attract thousand/ of visitors
and admirers And then the town is delightful in itself; life is quieter here than in
many larger centers, and yet the advantages
for intellectual improvement, for musical culture, and for social entertainment are excellent. The neighboring country, especially
up the river into the fine bold scenery of
Saxon Switzerland, is in summer most admirably adapted for pleasant trip, and excursions. We found Dresden gay with all its
summer life, and the usual gaiety was
heightened by the fetes connected with the
visit to the oty of all the fire companies of
Saxony. The place was decked out with
a multitude of fluttering banners and leafy
garlands and festoons, which gave it a very
holiday appearance. The Briihl Terrace i.
a charming tree-planted promenade, stretching some distance along the Elbe. On a
summer evening, a.the sun is going down,
a .troll is delightful here. The air is filled
with the music of bands on both side, of the
river, and the walks are crowded with people
enjoying the evening air. How Germany
and the visitor, to Germany enjoy the beauty of summer when it at last comes, for its
coming i. often late. From the terrace the
river crossed by massive and ancient stone
bridges, and the city beyond with spire, and
domes, come finely into view. The Elbe
grows softly flushed with the waning light,
which is deepened into rich shadow, under
the great arches of the bridges, and if you
wait a little longer, the moon comes up full
orbed from behind the wooded hills, and
makes of the city and its river a silvery picture.
An enumeration of the various objects and
points of interest to be seen in Dresden
would, in the brief space allowed me, be impossible, even were such an enumeration de-

sirable. You would find much to interest
you in the famous "green vaults" beneath
the palace, where the costliest and rarest
treasure.are gathered,and yet your pity rises
with your interest as you survey these accumulation, of material wealth. Their owners
have passed way one generation after another, and these carven ivory trinkets, these
gold and crystal goblets, these marvels of
workmanship in silver and precious stones,
gathered here in such lavish abundance;
seem to serve as a pathetic commentary on
all thing, earthly and human. The crown
and other jewels are among the finest known,
end are valued at fabulous sums. One
learn, in the midst of such rare gems to appreciate the beauty of those subtle and delicate manifestation, of color and brilliancy,
which seem to belong to genuine precious
stone, as perfume to certain fragrant woods.

might spend many most
The central point of infßßhowever of
the city is its superb Picture Gallery, which
is one of the artistic glories of Germany and
Northern Europe. Few if any galleries of
the old world possess so many paintings
familiar to visitors from the other side of the
Atlantic a. this in Dresden. There is a delightful sensation on seeing the originals of
these paintings, which from childhood have
been known to you through engravings or
other reproductions. You would find here
Corregio's "Holy Night." that most beautiful
of paintings'in which it would seem as if a
celestial light streamed from the form nf the
infant Christ; also the famous "Magdalens"
of Corregio and Battoni; Titian's "Tribute
Money"; Carlo Dolci'a "St. Cecilia"; splendid canvasses of Paolo Veronese; works by
Rubens, by Rembrandt and a host of other
celebrated painters. The especial treasure
of the gallery however, is the "Sisterie Madonna," one of the masterpieces of the great
Raphael,—known the world over. It is
placed in a cabinet alone, and before it you
always find a group of reverent and admiring
visitors. There is as every one knows and
feels, far too much of exaggerated artistic
emotion expressed by great many travelers,
and one scarcely in a healthy stale of mind
at least, sympathizes with those who say
that after seeing the "Sisterie Madonna,"
life can have nothing more in store for them.
But leaving aside sUch undue and absurd
feeling, we would join with those, 1 trust the
large majority, who find in thi. beautiful
painting of the Madonna and the Holy Child
much to awaken tenderestand most reverential emotion at the thought of the subject,
united with admiration of the artist's genius
which has in so wonderful a manner placed
the same before our human gaze. Every
one is I am sure familiar with the general
idea of the painting. The Madonna bearing
in her arms the Infant Jesus, beneath the

ceptions of the Virgin Mother and
Child impress you with the beauty and fullness of the pure and unstained humanity
and innocent simplicity disclosed in them.
In this painting of Raphael, however, you
seem to stand in the presence of a lofty spirituality. The Madonna takes her place as
the most honored and exalted among her
sex, and is here crowned with the beauty of a
sacred maturity which if it does not raise
her to the height of the Divine, seems to lift
her above the level of the Human. Her
eyes look filled with the glorious awe, which
must have lighted those of the Hebrew maid
bending before the Angel of the Annunciation and which shone still through the mother's tears at the foot of the uplifted Cross.
And yet the Mother of our Lord, the kneeling saints, the cherub worshipers, the countless angelic throng, dawning faintly like stars
in the misty cloud-depths of the back-ground,
fade away before the Lord Himself, no less
Divine because He bore the vesture of our
weak Humanity, and rose through all the
stages of our growth from clinging infancy
great pity that the education of deserving
Hawaiian youth abroad was not entrusted
to the Board of Education under suitable
regulations, not committed to such a notorious adventurer as C. C. Moreno. Under
suitable condition, the experiment might
have proved a brilliant success; now, we
can only forebode a disgraceful failure.

EDITOR ABROAD-No. 7.
We have now spent a month in Germany,
and that in the charming month of June.
The weather has been unexceptionally good,
thus affording a rare opportunity for visiting
places of historic interest, including Potsdam,
so intimately associated with Frederick the
Great and those renowned characters of the
eighteenth century who graced his court and
rendered his reign among the most renowned
in history of the sovereigns of modern Europe. It is quite noteworthy, that while
revolution has succeeded revolution, yet the
reigning sovereigns of the successive governments have preserved intact the old palaces,
and theinarecal furniture and adornments, so
that the visitor ot the closing years of the
nineteenth century can walk through halls
and courtly apartments, just as they are left
by the kit gs and queens of former ages.
The very playthings and toys of Frederick
the Great, not omitting his "little boots" and
drum when a lad, are now on exhibition,
while room after room is to be seen filled
with the furniture and robes of both kings
and queens who have long since surrendered
their thrones to their successors. On this
account Berlin is a most interesting city to
visit.
But forsaking thepast, the living present
is equally interesting. The month of June,
1880, is especially noteworthy in Berlin for
having witnessed the Fishery Exhibition.
At first thought one might ask, what of interest could be awakened in the general public by an exhibition of this nature? A person had only to walk through the halls and
rooms devoted to an exhibition of the wonders of the deep, and he would not ask the
question a second time. The words of the
psalmist come to mind, as a visitor examines
the rare pearls, the innumerable species of
fish, the strange monsters, the beautiful corals, and the endless variety of unknown creatures that find their home beneath the surface of the ocean : "O Lord, how manifold
Commercial & Statistical
are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made
them all; the earth is full of thy riches. So

under special obligations to George Bunsen,
Esq., a son of the renowned Baron yon Bunsen, so well known in the diplomatic circle
and literary world of a past generation. The
reading world hasrecently been favored with
a most charming book entitled "Memoirs of
yon Baroness Bunsen," in whicfi is depicted
with rare and delicate ability by Julius Hare
the home life o( the yon Bunsen'family. It
is such a volume as we should be glad' to
learn was read in every family of the English speaking apople throughout the world.
The book was noticed some months ago in
the pages of The Friend. On coming to
Europe we deemed it a rare privilege to have
become acquainted with members of this
family, and on one occasion to have met
three of the children of the Baron and Baroness, and five of their grand-daughters.
EXCURSION TO HAMBURG AND BREMEN.
In visiting the old world it is pleasant to
meet with those in the great' commercial
cities who are engaged in that department
of Christian work, which for so many years
has occupied our thoughts and enlisted our
sympathies and prayers. When passing
through Liverpool, Glasgow and London, we
often conferred with those who are laboring
for seamen. Since arriving in Europe we
were requested to be present at Hamburg on
the 21st of June, at the inauguration of the
Sailors' Institute, as the representative of the
American Seamen's Friend Society of New
York. For many years, even for more than
half a century, the Bethel Flag has been
hoisted in Hamburg. The friends of the
seamen's cause in that city one year ago laid
the corner stone of the Sailors'lnstitute, and
since then a fine building has been erected
at the cost of about 810,000 upon
land costing an equal amount, hence
the formal opening of the institute was deemed to be an event worthy of special note.
The following programme will indicate the
nature of the exercises on this interesting
occasion:

The exercises proved most satisfactory to
all the friends of seamen who are laboring
so energetically to provide preaching
and wholesome entertainment for them
while ashore in this most ancient
port of the old city of Hamburg, whose commerce has been in a most flourishing condition since the days of the old Hanseatic
League, when Hamburg, Bremen, Lubeck,
and other maritime cities combined
bined for the protection of commerce and
against those old Vikings of the north, whose
swift craft ploughed the German ocenn and
occasionally made depredations upon the rich
cities of Western Europe, laying them under
tribute.
It was a great pleasure to visit Hamburg
and look out upon a place which may be well
proud of its wealth and enterprise, its prosperous merchants and bold mariners. It is
a beautiful city, and with its charming Alster
Lake in its bosom, beautified by its swiftflying steamers and white swans with their
arching necks, presented one of the most rare
spectacles from the windows of "Hotel dc
l'Europe," upon which we ever gazed. The
environs of the city and the banks of the
Elbe, adorned with the residences of the rich
merchants of Hamburg, are equally beautiful.
We spent a Sabbath there, and visited two
of the churches built in the style of mediaeval
ages, with a mixture of modern architecture.
We did not omit a visit to the famous "Rauhe
Hans" and Klopstock grave. But we must
hurry away to Bremen.
With no city of Europe have we been
more familiar during the past forty years.
During the early years of our labors in Honolulu, Bremen whaleships very frequently
came under our notice.
We account it
among the very pleasant experiences of our
European visit, to have been met at the
railroad station by our old friends Mr. and
Mrs. Hackleld, to whose kind attentions we
are under the greatest obligations. We did
not feel the least strangeness on thus enter-
ing a city which we had never seen or visited before. We hardly know with what
words to express the delightful experiences
of our stay of a few days in Bremen. Honolulu and Bremen seemed strangely and delightfully mingled, while the past and the

At a meeting of the trustees of Kaumakapili
Church held on the evening of the
28th ult., after the preliminary business was
concluded, Rev. M. Kuaea, the pastor and
building committee of the new church, informed the members that it was his wish
and intention to confer with them in all matters relating to the building of the new edifice. After a short discussion it was carried
unanimously, that the trustees should act as

everything pertaining to the tearing down of
the old, and the erection of the new building
should come before them and receive their
approval and sanction before entering upon
the work. The trustees also have the full
control of the money that has been collected,
about 115,000, not a dollar of which can be
paid out without their order.
We hope that Mr. D. L. Moody will
be able to accept the invitation of the Y. M.
C. A. to come on to Honolulu, when his visit
to San Francisco has been completed. He
could find plenty of work to do for a while,
and would undoubtedly accomplish a great
deal of good here. He has been very successful elsewhere, and why should he not be
here. The various churches will co-operate
with him, and he will have all the assistance
that the association can render. We had
the pleasure of hearing him four times in the
Hippodrome in New York City in 1876.
