United States is the

by quickened trade, the United States would
control the trade of these islands, and another step would be taken towards the control of the trade of the Pacific. In view of
such results, the " half a million " of duties
imposed upon the Hawaiian sugars and collected in the San Francisco Custom House,
is a trifle scarcely worth mentioning. American statesmen are now discovering that
they have been " penny wise and pound
foolish " in regard to Canada, but they are
equally so with reference to Hawaiian Islands. " Give and it shall be given unto
you," is the enunciation of a principle, true
not only in the philosophy of Christianity
but of political economy and commerce
among nations. The point to which we
now call attention, we think, is worthy of

The United States the Gainer by Reciprocity
with Hawaiian Islands.
By late papers we learn that the United
States is about to renew its reciprocity with
Canada. One of the strongest arguments
for the renewal of this treaty, is the fact
that ever since its abrogation the United
States has been the loser. The leading men
of the country are convinced that while
Canada will be benefited, the United States
will be the greater gainer. Statistics show
that during the last few years, the high
duties and jwactical' non-intercourse have
been detrimental to the commercial interests
of the United States.
Will not the same course of reasoning
apply to the Hawaiian Islands ? /AYe think
it will. Of course we know the Hawaiian
Islands would be essentially benefited by a
reciprocity treaty, but would not a greater
benefit accrue to the United States ? We
think it would. Suppose such a treaty
should be negotiated and the agricultural interests of the islands were quickened, then
here would be opened a ten-fold greater
market for the lumber, salmon, and every
description of goods manufactured in the
United States, but especially west of the
Rocky Mountains. Should this take place,
the trade with Oregon and California would
be marvelously augmented. Our products
sugar and rice—would not interfere with
the products raised on the western coast of
the United States. Our islands are the
natural market for their products, and so the

of this interesting chapter in English history, in the words of Offor :

Thy name," Richard Carver, is worthy of all honor."
John Bunyan, the Bedford tinker, has
come to the fullness of his honors at last.
On the 10th of June a bronze statue of him,
erected in his native village, was unveiled
by Lady Stanley, wife of the Dean of Westminster. The spot chosen is within a few
hundred yards of the prison where Bunyan
spent twelve long years. The statue was
the gift of the Duke of Bedford; the address
was by the Dean of Westminster; and in
the large company present were Earl
Cowper, lord-lieutenant of the county, and
other representatives of the national Church.
At the banquet in the evening which followed the unveiling of the statue there wereChurchmen, Independents, Baptists, Methodists, an Irvingite minister, and a Catholic
priest. This fact very fitly symbolizes the
catholicity of Bunyan's immortal work.
Dean Stanley's address abounded in telling
points. One is worth quoting here :
" The
whole of English literature has produced
only two works of universal popularity, and
both of these were by Non-conformists.
One is the work of a Presbyterian journalist,
and is called Robinson Crusoe, and the
other is the work of a Baptist preacher, and,
its name is The Pilgrim's IVogress."
"Sweet Sad Story of the Cross."
Some months ago a gentleman in Honolulu forwarded the little tract with the above
title to Dr. Hepburn at Yokohama, to be
translated into the Japanese. We have just
received a letter from the translator, from
which we copy as follows " I have translated the little book and published it in
blocks. I have had 3,000 copies struck off,
at a cost of $77.00. I send one hundred
copies to your address. The Japanese like

after. lam only too happy to have been
able to do this for the Lord's sake, and hope

that if any one acquainted with Japanese
living in different parts of the islands will
send to us, we shall be glad to furnish gratuitously so many copies as may be needed.
Remember, it was reading a simple tract by
a Japanese acquainted with the Chinese language, which led him to forsake his country, visit China, and proceed from thence to
Boston, where he became acquainted with

�THE FRIEND,
Queen Victoria.
In reading the life of the distinguished
American Baptist missionary, the Rev. Dr.
Mason of Burmah, the translator of the
Bible into the Karen language and the
author of an important work on natural history, we met with the following paragraphs
relating to the Queen of England. Dr.
Mason was a native of England, but has
spent many years in America and Burmah.
He styles himself a workingman," and has
"
written and published his autobiography under the title of The Story of a Working"
man's Life,", which is certainly a very remarkable book and richly worthy of the
perusal of every friend of missions and humanity. After spending many years in
Burmah he returns to America via England;
and upon approaching his native land, he
thus writes respecting Queen Victoria :
After a few hours detention at Plymouth,
we pushed out to sea again, and the next
land we made was The Needles, the western
extremity of the Isle of Wight. As we
went up the Solent, between the island and
the main land, both shores appeared like
gardens, cultivated down to the water's
edge, in striking contrast with the wild picturesque shores of Burmah, which we had
so recently left. The flagstaff towering
above Osborne, the Queen's residence, was
pointed out to us nearly in the centre of the
island, among the highest of its chalk hills,
and that is about the nearest approach to
royalty I ever made.
The Queen of England is the most liberal
monarch in Europe. She heads progress,
does not obstruct it. Whenever the will of
the people is unmistakably made known
through the House of Commons, she never
sets herself against it, as the Lords often do,
but, whatever may be her private opinion,
acquiesces in it more readily than half the
American Presidents. We never hear of
measures of great public good being vetoed
by the President.
The workingmen of England owe more to
Queen Victoria than to all the previous
monarchs that have sat on the throne since
the days of Alfred. Her name will go down
to posterity on more acts for doing justice
and loving mercy to the wronged, oppressed,
and suffering, than can elsewhere be found
in the statute books all put together. The
acts for household suffrage and the disendowment of the Irish Church, alone place
her name at the head of English reformers.
I deprecate any change at the head of the
British Government, and join heartily in the
universal cry of " Long live Queen Victoria!
!"

on Savage Island or Niu. From a letter
written by him and dated Sydney, 31st
July, we copy as follows : "After eleven
years of very happy and successful missionary work on Savage Island, we went to

Testament and Psalms, also of Genesis and
Exodus in the Savage Island dialect. I

will be interested in knowing that one portion of New Guinea is peopled by the same
race as your Hawaiians or Eastern Polynesians. The little that is known of their
language leaves no doubt of this, although
their light color and fine physique showed
that they belonged to a different race from
the Papuans. We have a small steamer—
the Ellengowan—given by a lady in Scotland for our use in visiting stations, locating
teachers, &c. We are entering on our work
with many indications of our Master's ap-
proval."
Father Taylor, "the prince of sailor
preachers," has been worthily honored by a
memorial window in the new Methodist
Episcopal Mariners' Bethel of Philadelphia,
which was dedicated June 14th. The window is the gift of the wife of Captain Chadwick, of the United States Navy. The design on it is a " foul anchor " resting on an
open Bible, with the legend, " Father Taylor was anchored to his Bible, and the anchor never dragged." The new church is a
beautiful structure of green and drab stone.
The dedication-day was made memorable
by a gift of $20,000 from Mr. Queen, the
publisher of the New York Clipper. Mr.
Queen had taken a great interest in this enterprise, and had made large advances of
cash to the Building Committee. The repayment of these having been secured to
him, it was announced at the close of the
day that he had contributed the large sum
above named. The surprise and gratification of the congregation could hardly be described.

standing undaunted before the fierce " recoil
of the wave of heathenism," which threatened to sweep away all the barriers which
right and purity had reared.
It will be remembered, that the islands
embraced under the term Melanesia, comprise those groups known as the Loyalty
Islands, New Hebrides, Solomon Islands,
etc., which lie in a fringe off the northeast
coast
of Australia. But little had been done
in the way of reaching the inhabitants of
these groups before Bishop Selwyn visited
them, taking thence native lads to be educated in New Zealand. It was in this division
of the Pacific that the field of Bishop Patteson's duties was so largely laid, and it was
in one of its groups, the Santa Cruz, that he
met his death. In 1861 he was consecrated
Missionary, Bishop of Melanesia, an office
which be entered upon with an earnestness
and enthusiasm which ended only with his
life. Through his instrumentality, the
College on Norfolk Island was established,
which is still in operation for the education
of Melanesinn youth. This Mission work
became the sole object of his life. He never
returned to England, was never married, but
every purpose, wish, hope and affection, was
consecrated to this important work. His
researches in philology are most interesting
since in his numerous visits among the Melanesion Islands opened up to him new
people and new dialects, for the acquirement
of which he displayed a remarkable aptitude.
Is it not true that in the history of Missions are to be found the rarest examples of a
grand and liberal Christian Spirit? It would
seem as if in response to the thorough renunciation of all worldly and selfish interests
that an especial revelation of the glorious
truths of religion flashed in upon these
earnest workers in the vineyard of the
Lord ! Bishop Patteson's attachment to the
Church of England and to its ritual, was
most sincere, yet above all, he recognized
that grander Church in this world, whose
limits are placed Ly no earthly judgment,
but is in its divine beauty and perfectness
composed of all those whom Christ Himself has chosen. Over the wild waves of
sectarian debate and controversy these
words come as the olive leaf of hope—" It
isn't High, or Low, or Broad Church, or any
other special name ; but the longing desire
to forget all distinctions, and to return to a
simple state of things that seems naturally
to result from the very sight of heathen
people."
He did not seek* to overlay the truth
"
with human traditions," to confuse the mind
of a simple people by a useless and hollow
method of formalism; but he did strive with
all the power of God-given strength to break
unto hungering and wanting souls the

Aberdeen Memorial.
Within the year just closed, we have had
the satisfaction of acknowledging what will
probably be the most effective of these memorial contributions, so Tar made. This is
the gift to our treasury of £300 in gold
(81,626) by the Countess of Aberdeen, of
Scotland, to send out and keep in repair,
through the Society, from its Rooms at New
York and Boston, one hundred loan libraries,
in memory of her son, George, Earl of Aberdeen, who was for more than three years a
sailor on American vessels—and was lost at
sea, six days out from the port of Boston,
Mass., January 27th, 1870, while first mate
of the schooner Hera, of that port, bound
for Melbourne, Australia. A brief, but most
interesting record of his life may be found in
the Sailors' Magazine for May, 1874, pp.
129 to 139.
This gift was received from Lady Aberdeen, after a correspondence with the Secretary of the Society, initiated by C. H. Dabney, Esq., of New York, in which the donor
became thoroughly conversant with our Library work. With a careful and intelligent
apprehension of its history and bearings, she
adopted this as the practical and promising
means of carrying out her desire to permanently benefit the class of men with whom
her son passed so protracted and interesting
a portion of his life on earth. Her letter of
Februory 19th, 1874, reads

Key. Dr. S. H. Hall,
:
American Seamen's Friend Society, 80 Wall
St., New York, U. S. A.
Dear Sir :—I have to thank you very
sincerely for your letter of December 13th,
'73, which I delayed answering in the hope
of having some small books ready to be sent
at the same time as my letter. This is not
even now the case, but before another fortnight has elapsed I expect to be able to
transmit the parcel to your address.
1 feel extremely obliged to you for the
kind interest you take in my project and for
your promised aid in sending out the Seamen's Libraries. I enclose a cheque from
our Edinburgh agents on their London
Bankers, which they inform me will be the
most convenient method of sending you the
£300, as you can have it cashed by your
own Bankers, and get the benefit of the exchange at sight on London.
I should propose to employ £250 in sending out Libraries, and to invest £50 as a
fund for the keeping up and restoration of
the same, but you are a much better judge
than 1 can be of the proportion which ought
to be placed to the reserve fund, and I should
wish, therefore, to leave that to you.
As 1 mentioned before, I should like to
give more Libraries to Boston than to the
other seaports, owing to my son's greater
connection with that place.
The parcel of books to which I alluded,
consists of 250 or 300 copies of a small
brochure, published as an appendix to the
latest edition of the memoir of his father.
It is a very short account of our son's life,
but I think it would be interesting to the
American Sailors, whom he so highly esteemed. I should be glad if one or two were
placed in each Library. Your plan of hay-
SEPTEMBER,
ing a brass plate with an inscription on the
case seems much better than marking each
book, and 1 would propose only a slight alteration in that which you suggested. I
write it out on thn other side, and with renewed thanks from myself and family for
your cordial co-operation,
I remain, yours faithfully,
M. Aberdeen.

Pacific Medical Journal.
We would acknowledge from Dr. Wythe,
a copy of this journal containing an article
relating to the leprosy in the Sandwich
Islands." During his trip to the islands he
visited the Leper Asylum on Molokai in
company with His Majesty, and as a medical man took much interest in examining
the condition of those located there. His
report is highly favorable to the Board of
Health having the care of the establishment.
We copy as follows a few paragraphs :
During a recent visit to the Hawaiian
Islands, I received an invitation from the
government Board of Health, to accompany
its members and the newly-elected King, in
a visit of inspection to the Leper Asylum,
on the island of Molokai.
Near the rocky landing is the store-house,
supplied weekly by the government by
means of a small schooner, and from which
rations, etc., are dealt out under the superintendence of a former member of the Hawaiian legislature, who, on finding himself a
"
leper, voluntarily relinquished the ties which
bound him to society, and surrendered himself to the authorities. His business talents
find useful occupation in the oversight of his
fellow-sufferers. Near the store, under the
shade of a solitary group of Pandanus trees,
is a small Koman Catholic church, in which
a priest, self-exiled, officiates. A Protestant
church, I am informed, is located on the
other side of the valley.
The King and Board of Health*were welcomed at the landing by a group of between
two and three hundred, with a band of music
—all the musicians lepers—and from the
general expressions observed, I should judge
the welcome to have been a hearty one.
From the landing, we rode over about
three miles to the hospital buildings, and
under the guidance of Dr. Trousseau, the
physician of the Board, and a son of the
eminent physician of that name, I was
shown the various stages and varieties of the
disease. The patients uniformly expressed
themselves well satisfied with tbe care exercised in their behalf, and they were evidently far better offthan in their own homes.
1 came away from the asylum profoundly
impressed with the benevolence of the Hawaiian government, and the fidelity of its
agents.

A HINT
TO THE
MoNEY-BORROWER,
WILL
not pay.—lf
there is one more despicable
character than another, it is the man who
borrows money and "forgets" to return it. A
melancholy instance of the evil effects of this
is here recorded :
" forgetfulness"
At Brooklyn, N. V., on Friday, there
passed away a person who was known as
the "Twelve o'clock Man." For seven years
he had stood near the City Hall, within sight
of the clock, from eleven o'clock until the
first stoke of the noonday bell, when he
would slouch away to his home. No inclemency of the weather kept him away.
Never adequately clad, he was always at his
post at the usual hour, in the severest storms
of winter, and the warmest day of summer.
For more than five years his daily position
was at a particular part of the railing, against
the pickets of which he leaned, and looked
mournfully at the clock. If spoken to he
would mumble out an answer to the effect
that he was waiting for somebody. " He'll
come by twelve o'clock; he said he would."
No one knew his story, but many guessed a
piteous history of his life. It is now told
that he had saved a sum of money by hard
work ; that the money was borrowed of him
with a promise to pay it, with interest, on a
certain day, at noon, in front of the City Hall.
But the old man never saw the borrower
again. This unfortunate lived in an old
hut, and did odd chores in the morning to
earn a few pennies with which to buy food.
Some one has drawn his picture for a Brooklyn club, and a warm-hearted resident of the
neighborhood has tied a piece of crape upon
the railings by which he used to stand.
The Transit of Venus.
English astronomers are not unanimous
as to the situations that promise to be most
convenient for the observations of the transit
of Venus in 1874—Mr. Proctor urging certain sites, which are not approved by the
astronomer royal. Much satisfaction is expressed on hearing that M. Flourien, an
experienced naval officer and competent
observer, will be sent to the Marquesas by
the French Government. It is assumed
that you will have leading stations at
Wladiwostsk, near Yokohama and Pekin,
and in some other portions of China, Japan
or the adjacent isles, and also in one ofthe
Sandwich Islands. The Germans will occupy
three principal stations and eight subordinate
ones, while Kussia will fill no less than
twenty-seven stations, scattered through
Eastern Siberia, and stretching between the
Caspian Sea and the mouth of the Amoor,
at all of which first and last contacts will be
observed. In addition to the preparations
made in England at the coast of the State,
Lord Lindsay intends to visit the Mauritius
at the time of the transit, with a good equipment of instruments, and to provide with his
own hands and staff for more than one form
of observation. With regard to the alliance
of photography with the transit observations,
Dr. Warren dc la Rue here, and Professor
Bond in the States, hold that the measurement of the photographic images of the
transit will in all probability give results of
three-fold higher value than any direct eye
and hand observation that could be secured.

MEETING OF
THE HONOLULU Y. M. C. A.
The regular monthly meeting of the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. was held in the usual
place on the evening of the 14th ult. The
Aheong committee presented a report which
embraced a letter from that gentleman, declining the proposition made to him by the
Association that he return to this country
and labor for the salvation of his countrymen here, giving as his reasons for this decision that he is engaged in school-teaching,
nnd that the sum offered him for his support
by the Association is insufficient. The
committee also read a letter from the American Consul at the place where Aheong is
residing. The Association resolved to make
further investigations in the matter.
An essay was read by the topic committee, on Prejudice, which was followed by a
short debate. The Association was also
favored with a very profound paper on the
same subject, by Dr. Powell of New York
city. The subject announced for discussion
at the next meeting is, "The supply of
Christian workers."
The Tilton-Beecher scandal continues to
occupy a prominent place in the American
papers. We are glad to see that almost
without an exception, the newspapers of the
United States treat the reports as false.
Good will result from this unfortunate discussion. It shows that the Christian community will not tolerate a suspicion of wrong
in its most popular preacher, and furthermore that when there;; is no wrong, the
•church and the world will stand by those
falsely accused.
The subjoined letter we insert with satisfaction and pleasure, as an indication that
our labors as an Association for the good of
our fellow-men, are appreciated :
Letter frossi Two Sailors.
Honolulu, Sailors' Home, )
August 17, 1874. J
Gentlemen— We being strangers to the
port of Honolulu, and having traveled a
good deal of the world in our years of experience as seamen, (both of us being over
20 years in the British Nary) we are only
too thankful to the gentlemen of the Y. M.
C. A.of Honolulu, for the interest you have
taken in the welfare of seamen ia providing
a good Reading Room, in which they may,
or those who are willing and glad to hear
some good from the Lord, spend their leisure
hours ; also, that they can get accommodation in other ways, so we hope and trust in
God, you may see the good you are doing
for seamen, who are so much exposed to the
temptations whilst on shore, not forgetting
the kind attention paid to us by Mr. Edward
Dunscombe, the Manager of the Home, and
the kind words and treatment from him.
We also wish that the seamen would use
this Home to their best advantage,—sleeping
also. We also wish the Home every prosperity, hoping and trusting in the Lord.
Thanking also, the good people of Honolulu,
who have taken so much interest in the
