Forty years ago this month—lB42 —
appeared Vol. 1., No i of The Friend.
We have a copy of that first number
lying on our table. We are reminded of
our modest aspirations, only aiming to
issue occasionally a sheet, which should
advocate the claims of Total Abstinence. Before the month closed, we
made our arrangement with Mr. Rogers,
the printer of the American Mission, to
issue the paper each month. It must
be remembered, that in 1842, no English newspaper was issued in this
part of the world, although the S. I.
Gazette and Polynesian had previously
been published. Neither was an English paper published on the western
coast of North or South America, or in
any part of Polynesia.
At a future
time, we may note a few reminiscences
of editorial life and experiences.
SAD TRUTH.
It is with sorrow, we make the statement, but we feel that we can honestly
say, that, during the past
90 days of
free-liquor, we have seen more Hawaiians intoxicated than during the
previous forty years of our residence
in
Honolulu. We do not say, but there
has been drunkenness among
the
native population, but it has not been
open and public. It has been rare to
witness an Hawaiian intoxicated

public streets, that disgrace and dishonor has been mostly the lot of

legal and constitutional province, to
either repeal the Free-liquor Law or
enact another which shall arrest the tide
of intemperance among Hawaiians, and
also among foreigners ? The crisis demands bold action. His Majesty and

Text, Romans 147. " For none of us
liveth to himself and no man
ilieth to himself."
There is an invisible chain binding all
mankind in one great bond. No member of the human family can take his
stand outside of that great bond and
say, " I will stand aloof, inde|>endent
and alone, having no part or sympathy
with my fellow men." The only being
on earth who has acknowledged this
principle, in the truest, fullest and best
meaning of the term, was the Lord
Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, born
nearly nineteen hundred years ago,.in
Bethlehem, and whose birth will soon
be recognized by so many millions
throughout the Christian world. * *
In proportion as this grand truth is
received, felt and becomes influential,
in the same proportion will those adopting it, become like Christ, enlarged,
elevated and world-wide in
:ir sympathies and influences. * *
***** * * The hisy of the church universal furnishes
inobled,
unples of many noble men and
women, whose lives beautifully illustrate the sentiment of the text. They
their Divine Master have lived and
en ready to die for the well-being of
others. Their lives were devoted to
the good of their fellow men. They
have evinced a rare devotion in the
elevation and uplifting of those for
whom Christ died. In their lives there
has been a reflection of the life of Him
who went about doing good and who
could say,
I am the resurrection and
the life." In their lives has been a
reproduction ofthe life of Christ, agreeable to the language of Paul, I am
crucified with Christ; nevertheless, I
live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me;
and the life I now live in the flesh, I
live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for
me." In a modified and inferior sense
this is the sentiment or feeling, of
every true follower of Our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ. The truly Christian man or woman lives for the good
ofothers and their usefulness ceases
not when they leave this world, but
being dead they speak, and their memories fragrant with the perfume of kind
words and loving deeds, are cherished
for long years and centuries.

dead to us until we have forgotten
them." The church at large does not
forget the lives of the true and good,
any more readily than their kindred
and friends. If their names are forgotten on earth, they will be found
recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life.
THE DEATH OF THE REV. TITUS COAN.
One such has recently passed away
and left an important field of usefulness in our island community. It was
his privilege to die in the beautiful
home, where he had lived nearly a
half century and to be buried in the
churchyard, where he had so long
preached. He was known to many of
you personally, and you have often
heard him lecture and preach. For
very many years he annually preached
in this pulpit, when he made his visits
to Honolulu in June, to attend the
meetings of the Hawaiian Association.
The grand business and great object of
his life has been to preach the gospel
among Hawaiians, and right nobly has
he performed his life-work, first in
his own church, and after that in
preaching tours through the Puna and
Hilo districts, although, his labors have
not been confined to the immediate
neighborhood where he lived. He
loved Hawaiians, old and young, at
home and abroad. I need not dwell
on this feature of his character and life,
in proof that he was an earnest, successful and devoted missionary. His
recent publication, "Life in Hawaii,"
is a modest autobiograhical sketch of
his own missionary life, as well as a
valuable contribution to island history.
In that volume, the fact is happily
developed, yet well-known to his friends
and the public that he had broad sympathies which led him to labor efficiently for his fellow men, of all races
and nationalities, so far as they were
brought under his influence.
LABORS IN BEHALF OF SEAMEN.
Here I may appropriately allude to
his efforts and labors, through a long
course of years in behalf of seamen.
For many years he has been a most
efficient seamen's chaplain. Assisted
by the Rev. Mr. Lyman, a chaplaincy
was there sustained by their voluntary
well-directed efforts, which for efficiency and usefulness equalled almost
any chaplaincy in any other parts of
the world. Upon this subject I can
speak with great freedom and assurance for during the past forty years I
have been in the most intimate correspondence with him upon this subject.
I feel quite sure the spiritual interests
of seamen attached to the whaling
fleet and vessels of war, could not have
been more thoughtfully cared for if a
chaplain had been sent out from America or England for this special field of
labor, yet this extra service was discharged with the most hearty cheer and
thoughtful consideration. I feel quite
sure many masters, officers and seamen
will have good reason to bless God,
to all
eternity, that they touched at
Hilo, in their long voyages, and came
under the happy influence of the Rev.
Mr. Coan and the other resident missionaries at that port.
MR. COAN AS A PREACHER
SPEAKER.
AND
Our departed missionary friend and
ministerial associate was one who loved
to preach the gospel. He was no
ordinary preacher, but often was truly
eloquent in both English and Hawaiian. His sermons in the latter lan-
guage must have numbered many thousands, while in the English he was
ever willing to assist other ministers
and always preached to great acceptance. As a platform speaker few were
more ready or eloquent. During his
visit to the United States in 1870 his
services were in great demand, and he
addressed thousands in the East, the
West and the Middle States.
MR. COAN'.S PATAGONIAN EXPLORATIONS.
Distinctly do I remember, when an
undergraduate in Amherst College,
hearing a narrative of that visit of ex-
ploration in company with Mr. Arms,
who came to Amherst and addressed
the students. These explorers manifested a truly heroic spirit. Their tour
is aptly and graphically described in
the recent volume written by Mr Coan,
and entitled
Adventures in Patagonia." Theirs was a daring enterprise
and worthy of being recorded beside
that of the most perilous missionary
tours since Paul, Peter and the other
apostles traversed the Roman empire,
from Palestine to far away Britain and
Spain, and distant Arabia and India.
"
MR. COAN AT HOME.
Some men are distinguished in their
public career, but fail when viewed in
the home circle and by their neighbors.
We believe, it was the good fortune of
our departed friend to appear at his
very best at home and among his familiar friends and neighbors. He was
most considerate and thoughtful of
those with whom he came in familiar
intercourse. How often have we heard
guests refer to the home of the Missionary Coan at Hilo, and have ourselves ex[>erienced his kindness. I am
happy to bear my testimony to the
purity, refinement and ideal beauty
and excellency of that home. It was
one of"xv Homes" so enthusiastically and happily described by the Rev.
Dr. Chancy in his volume entitled,
"Aloha." There was one trait of his
character to which I would not fail to
allude, I refer to his love for children.

this was once true, but it is true no
longer. China is feeling the influence
of Western ideas and Western civilization. I doubt if there is any other
people on the face of the globe among
whom the Gospel will win such victories
in the next quarter of a century, as in
China. And not only is this true of
those who remain at home in China,
but it is also true of those Chinamen
who emigrate to other lands. They are
being christianized. And yet, in the
face of facts, there is a general impression that Christian work among the
Chinese is a failure. Not long ago an
intelligent American made the astounding assertion in my presence that
"after years of effort, all the Christians
on the Pacific coast claimed was
eighteen converts." As an encouraging
fact, I clip the following from the
Christian Union's report of the Cleve-

have churches, schools and families so
generally observed Christmas, as during
the past week. One lady remarked in
our hearing, that she never was in a
place before where they had so many
Christmas days. For nearly a week,
gatherings were prevalent, at the Bethel,
Fort Street church, Chinese church,
English church. Catholic church, Katimakapili church and Kawaiahao, and
we know not in how many families.
Our limits will not permit our noticing
these in detail, but that great good will
result, we entertain no doubt.
There is a great amount of Christian
philosophy summed up in the remarks made by the late Mr. Marquand,
of Connecticut, who, while he lived,
was an open-handed friend of every
good work:
'"A Christian,' he says, 'should
never be troubled because he is asked to
give. If he cannot give he may
well be sorry; but if he does not wish
to give he ought to be more than sorry
—he should be alarmed. Lack ot
money is by no means so sad as is the
lack of a disposition to contribute of
what one has. A man often shuts the
door in the face of his best friend when
he shuts out any call to his benevolence.'"

REPORT
OF
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
For common blessings the usefulness of
which is absolutely necessary to our welfare,
like the shining of the sun and the air we
breath, we seldom stop to give thanks or
really appreciate their importance. The Honolulu Sailors' Home has become so much of a
fixture in our community, and its usefulness is
so generally diffused through the twelve
months of the year that we seldom think of it
as one of our benevolent institutions needing
support. It is here and lives, but few care to
inquire how.
At our last annual meeting the executive
committee were authorized to expend $300 in
the way of necessary repairs, provided the
money could be raised. We have to report
that on commencement of the work the building was found so much decayed that over $600
was necessary to cover the outlay, but the
treasurer will report that the mqney was raised,
and principally from among the trustees;
hence it is our privilege to report that a debt
of only a few dollars remains unpaid, and the
building is now in good repairs for years to
come.

The American ship Hope has been purchased by
Messrs. Lewers &. Cooke. She will In- put in the lumber trade.
The Spreckels Brothers' new yacht has been named
Lurline. The first thing fixed for her is an ocean race
to Honolulu next season with the new yacht now building for Mr. Tevis, and probably the Aggie as a third.
It will be a fine trip.—Alta.

A statement has been going the rounds that the British steamer Shandon is going on the Honolulu route,
to run in connection with the Suez. Such is not the
case, M the Suez will be the only boat to run 011 the
route until the two new ones now building by the
Cramps are completed.—Alta.
The British steamship Shandon, which recently left
England for Honolulu, will l>e placed on the O. S. S.
Co. s line to Honolulu, and will run in connection with
the Suez until the two new steamers of the company
arrive here, which will be al>out June next. The first
ofthe two will be launched in February.—Alta
Captain Curtis, master of the tern W. L. Beebe, now
at Port Blakely, was killed December Ist at the latter
place by theaccidental di>charge of his shotgun while
out hunting. He was formerly master of the bark Surprise and schooner Clara Light, and leaves a wife and
two children in this city.— Alta.
A sad sequel to the death of Captain Curtis is that
his wife was so sick that her fritadi feared to break the
sad news to her, and the unfortunate lady died yesterdaymorning, leaving a little boy of six years of age
completely alone. Captain Curtis leaves about $5,000
in property,and it is to be hoped that through its means
the little fellow will be provided for.—Alta.
A cablegram recently received at Portland, Or., states
that the firm who own the British steamship Madras
have decided on establishing a regular line between
Portland and Hongkong, The next steamer to arrive
at Portland will be the C. T. Hook, which left Hongkong November 25th. It is calculated to havea steamer
every 15 days. Captain Bradley of the Madras goes
from Hongkong to England and brings out a new ship
of 3,500 tons for the line.—Alta.

THE FRIEND, JANUARY,
EDITOR'S TABLE.
A Journey
through
the
Chinese
By M. Hue, Author of
"Recollections of a Journey through
•Tartary and Thibet." 2 vols. Harper cV Brothers. 1878.
Some thirty and more years ago, we
recollect to have read, with intense
interest, M. Hue's Thibet, and have
heard of his book of Travels relating to
a journey through the Empire of China,
but we have not had the good fortune to
meet with the latter work, until while
making a late visit to the Government Library. We can hardly describe the delight
wehave experienced inreading this work.
The journey was made forty years ago,
but the description has all the freshness
of a present reality. It is one of the
most charming and brilliant narratives
we ever read, and among the many
books we have read upon the Chinese
Empire, this is the best. Although
written by a Catholic Priest, we have
met with scarcely an expression to
Empire.
which we could not assent. Of course
"A French Lazarist" views christian
missions and christian life from a different stand-point from that of a Calvinistic New Englander, yet they have more
in common than some superficial observers would imagine.
M. Hue with his companion M. Gabet went as missionaries in 1838, to the
interior of Asia, among the inhabitants
of Tartary and Thibet. After learning
the language, and laboring there for
1883
of person and mental powers enriched
by education, culture and refinement.
It has been our high privilege to meet
persons of this class. Among them
was the christian lady whose life and
letters we have had laid upon our table.
More than forty years ago, while
private tutor in a family residing on the
banks ofthe beautiful Delaware River,
as it gently glides along the shores of
New Jersey, it was our privilege to become acquainted with a family in the
City of Burlington, N. J., in which
were two sisters, Jeannette and Martha
Hulme.
The latter was richly endowed with poetical and intellectual
attainments of a high order, married
the Rev. Dr. Canfield, a clergyman of
the Episcopal church, who was settled
in Ohio, but subsequently in the cities
of New York and Brooklyn. Her published works appeared among the volumes of the American Sunday School
Union. The other sister married and
found her home in the interior of Ohio.
There a most charming family of sons
and daughters adorned her household.
While surrounded with domestic cares
and called to carry many of life's burdens, yet she found time for an extensive correspondence, and the reading
of choice religious and literary books.
The volume lying before us, is the
beautiful record of her life, dying at
the age of sixty years.
It has been our privilege to correspond with members of this family, and
during our visit to the United States
in 1869, to enjoy their hospitality.
There is much in this volume to remind the reader of Hare's "Memorials
of a Quiet Life," and also Miss Havergal's writings. Mrs. Piatt was a lady
of great excellence and genuine refinement to which was added an ideal attractiveness of person, as appears trom
the uncommonly beautiful vignette opposite the title page. The artist has
succeeded in reproducing from her
photograph a picture worthy of an ar-
some years, for reasons not apparent,
the Chinese government at Peking ordered their return, Thibet being a dependency of China. On their return
from L'hassa to Canton, they travelled
at the expense of the Chinese Government. The two volumes contain a
narrative of their journey of six months
through the very heart of the great
empire. Such a journey was never before taken, neither will it be soon followed. If any of our readers desire a
peep into the heart of China, we commend to their reading these volumes

Episcopal training(Revs. Drs. Tyng and

life, amid rural scenes of Ohio. Her
letters indicate that she was in intimate correspondence with a wide circle
of appreciative friends, and persons of
uncommon refinement. Homes, presided over by such noble women and
Christian mothers, are the hope of
America, and happy prestige for the
future of the Great Republic. It is not
wealth, or station which are necessary
for domestic happiness and genuine
christian refinement, but purity of life,
love for learning, an unfaltering trust in
Jesus Christ as the Saviour of mankind,
and an earnest endeavor to follow in
his footsteps, in whatever situation of
life our lot may be cast. Most heartily
we commend this volume, of over 350
pages, to the thoughtful perusal of all
fond of reading good books, and who
are doubtfulfor the future of America.
We shall have confidence in the future,
of our native land, so long as it shall
be adorned with christian homes, presided over by such pure and noble
mothers.
THE ANGLICAN CHURCH CHRONICLE.
This is the name of a new Monthly
which made its appearance on the 2d
of December, and hereafter to appear
on the first Saturday of each month.
There is ample room for such a periodical and we heartily wish it success.
The style of the editorials indicate a
generous, Catholic and Christian spirit.
Ever since the rise of non-episcopal
churches in England aud the establishment of the Episcopal Church in the
United States, there has been a strong
antagonism, which now seems to be
dying away. All these various hranches of the universal Catholic church,
seem now to be more harmonious than
ever before. The Episcopal church in
Old England, has recently extended
the hand of christian friendship to Dissenting churches and the Salvation
Army, in a most cordial manner. We
hope the Chronicle and The Friend
may labor together in good earnest, in
disseminating a pure gospel and promoting evangelistic work. Having enjoyed a long career of pleasant editorial
life, we can most heartily extend the
right hand of christian and editorial
friendship to our young brothers.
No one knows what he can bear till
he is tried; when the trial comes he is

CLIPPINGS.
We clip the following series of questions and answers on association work
from the "Proceedings of the Second
Annual Convention of the Y. If. C. A.
of California for 1882:
O. Should association rooms be opened
during any part of Sunday?
A. I think they should, unless there is an
objection to it on the part of the local pastors.
There arc always young men who would not
go to church, but who might spend an evening
profitably at the rooms.
Q. How can we attract young men to the
association rooms and encourage them to spend
their evenings there instead ofon the street?
A Hy making the rooms attractive, and inviting them to lectures, concerts, etc., and
taking special care to introduce them to the
young workers of the association.
Q. Do you approve of debating clubs, lyceums, etc., in connection with association work ?
A. Yes, if you have the right man to conduct them. It requires brains to successfully
carry on a debating society as well as any
other business.
Q. Should association work be confined to
spiritual matters, or are gymnasiums and literary societies essential parts of the work for
young men?
A. Most assuredly they are. All these auxiliaries are proper in their place, and should
always be considered as a means to an end,
and that end the bringing of young men within
the influence of the association and on the way
to Christ.
Q. Would you provide social games in the
association parlors?
A. Yes, with proper restriction I would.
We furnish checkers, chess and dominoes, and
they are frequently used and evidently enjoyed
and appreciated by our young men.
Q. Is it not practicable to post illuminated
and othei mottoes, teaching religious truths?
A. It is, if the thing is not carried too far.
We have known of individuals so injudicious
as to stick up what are known as "Gospel
Stickers,'' prepared with mucilageon the back,
all over the walls of restaurants, horse cars,
sign boards, etc., all this having a tendency to
make irreligious people swear, with some
grounds of justification.
We have many exchanges at hand, to some
of which we would like to make special reference, but our limited space does not permit.
When we are warranted in having a larger
sheet, we shall then be happy to make due
notices and acknowledgments.
