HONOLULU,
quirement? The term " pence" is oae of
wide and general signification in the scripture!; it means not only a tranquil state of
society, free from war and disturbance, but
prosperity in geueral. It is the same there-
fore as though we were required lo seek the
good, the prosperity, the general welfare of
the people among whom we dwell. Let it
be our aim not merely/to dwell among them
peaceably, but to do them good by such
means as are placed in our power.
To he more specific, we are required by
the word of God,
I. To exercise a hearty good will towards
the native inhabitants: in other words, to be
tJo'ir cordial and substantial friends, and to
cherish a disposition to do them good. This
does not imply that we are bound to approve
of the state of society around us, nor of the
policy pursutd by the government : the
Jews in Babylon were not required to do
either of these; for the people around them
were idolaters, and tho rulers were unfeeling
despots; but with all a people's faults, we
can and ought to exercise good feelings
towards them; if we do not, it is idle to
talk of seeking their welfare. Will a man
seek the peace ofthe city while in his heart
he feels no interest in its welfure, or perhaps
wishes its ruin?
The divine law is applicable hero which
runs thus: " Thou shall love thy neighbor
as thyself." Is it asked,** who* my neighbor?" I answer, every member of the human family, of whatever color or condition,
whether a friend or an enemy, is your neighbor; and ofcourse every native on the Sandwich Islands, high or low; and there is one
debt which we all owe them, and that is
"love." "Owe no man any thing but to
Without this, wholeyer
love one another
we may attempt to do, or boast of having
done, it is all sounding brass and tinkling
cymbal." Here is the great prominent ex■.iKctice of Christianity, wherein it casts all
false religions into the shade; it is a religion
oflove; cordial, deep, sincere love. "Peace
on earth, and good will towards meu»" was
the description given of it by the angels
themselves, on the plains of Bethlehem,
when its divine author first appeared in our
world—good-will not only to friends but to
enemies. Were every native on the Sandwich Islands our enemy, it would still be
our duty to be his friend, and to try to do
him good. Neither does gospel charity confine itself to those who are worthy, decent
and respectable; like a sweet angel of mercy
it visits the abode* of poverty, filth and
wretchedness; it goes to the house of mourn
ing and affliction, and then passes on to tee

of a few years, to have exercised a great and
abiding influence. Six hundred and fiftyeight individuals, selected amidst all the
clamour, excitement and expense of a popular election, to represent the intelligence,
public spirit and virtue of the nation, sit together for six months, devoting, on an average, six hoars nightly to the salvation of the
country, and, at'the end of the time, no single measure has been passed, or law enacted, for which, by the boldest stretch of imagination, any man, woman or child in the
British dominions can be supposed to he the
better. For a period of five or six years tfys
nation is kept in a state of painful and feverish excitement, to know whether a set of
men called Whigs, who haunt a club called
Brooke's, or a set of men called Tories, who
congregate at the Carlton, shall win the
great game of political pitch and toss, and
toss, and enjoy the pitch of devoting themselves to the service of an ungrateful country, for an adequate consideration. At length
the political mountain brings forth a new
Premier, who talks as big as if the regeneration of the country was a mere joke to a
practitioner of such profound ability, and
lo! a twelvemonth is scarcely elapsed, before
he is found out by everybody to be a more
ridiculous mouse than any of his predecessors.
In the mean time, while these great eventful changes are slowly evolving themselves,

to check the inroads of this destructive monster drunkenness, by his own humble unaided efforts. From this little seed, cast noiselessly on the bosom of the great universe,
and watered there by silent influences from
Heaven, springs up in due course of time a
mighty tree. An immense practical influence is exercised on millions of human beings. In Ireland alone, 5,000,000 of a
population who five years ago appeared to
be hopelessly addicted to habits of reckless and degrading intemperance, have been
reclaimed, and are now leagued together under the solemn sanction of a religious vow,
in associations of mutual defence against the
common enemy Five millions of the most
miserable and abject population on the face
of the civilized world, have been raised in
the scale of being, first by renouncing habits
which degraded th»m to a level with the
brute; and secondly, by being taught to exercise self-denial and restraint, and to associate together for a worthy object. Whetb-

BARTIMEUS,
0a THE BLIND
FREACHER
OF
MAUI.
To all who have any considerable acquaintance with the Hawaiian churches,
the name of Bartiineus must be familiar;
and those who knew him best, most deeply
lament his loss. The death of this extraordinary man occurred on the 17thof September, 1843, at Wailuku, Maui. In that
neighborhood he had been laboring as a
preacher of the gospel for several years
past, with great acceptance to the people
and good success.
The place of his birth was Waikapu, a
pleasant village adjacent to Wailuku; and
as nearly as can be now ascertained, he was
born about the year 1785. When an infant,
his mother had formed the deliberate purpose of putting him to death. His grave
was actually dug, and the little harmless
babe about to be thrust into it, by the hand
of his own mother, when he was unexpectedly rescued by the hand of a relative. How
true it is that the dark places of the earth
are full of the habitations of cruelty! The
good old man did not very often refer to
this scene, but occasionally in his public addresses he would allude to it with thrilling
effect, as illustrating the doctrine of a particular providence.
Bartimeus was a man below the ordinary
stature of natives, and his bodily appearance
was very unprepossessing, except when he
arose to speak, and became animated; he
then appeared extremely well.
his
diminutive stature, his beard was long, jet
black and frizzling, and owing to the meanness of his apearance when a young man, he
became the butt of his untutored companions. Owing to his remarkable skill in the
native hula," a dunce, he attracted the
the attention of Kamamahe, (the wife of
Rihoriho, Kamehameha II.,) who died in
England, and was taken into her train as a
sort of buffoon.
His sole business was to make merriment
for the queen and her favorites, and his reward was food and ana By means of this
latter, he often became intoxicated, and
would lie for days together wallowing in
tilth like a beast. On the arrival of the
first missionaries, he accompanied the chiefs
from Hawaii to Oahu, where he heard for
the first time the words of eternal life. "The
sound of salvation" at once caught his ear.
His attendance on the means of grace became constant. Says one of the first missionaries, " he was always at the house of
God, and always at the preacher's feet.''

the New Home in New York : " The

of the details of its management, condition and results, say it is doing more for
the protection, comfort and moral improvement of seamen than any other
menus directed to this object; which it
would not be righl to say, were if not for
the large number thus brought under a

cured from them small phials or bottles filled
with the precious element, and even lasted
it; hoping perhaps it might be found to possess the virtues of lhe Helicon or Castilian fountains. Others more cautious, forebore to test its pioperties in this way, not
knowing but they might prove to be as dangerous as those of the Lethean Stream or
the Dead Sea.
Many speculations were agitated to ascertain the origin of this unlooked for phenomenon. Some thought the sea had suddenly forced a passage thiough what was
once an active volcano, and that henceforth
lhe old crater was to send forth water instead of fire. Others agiiin, believed the
water had been gradually accumulating iv
the fissures nnd cavities of the mountain,
during the last tweny years, and had at
length united in one vast body. But no
me could certainly tell. Conjecture wns rile.
At length iv the afternoon, several gentlemen, in whose judgement the utmost confidence could be reposed, mounted horse,
nnd proceeded to the place, determined to
examine with their own senses this new
''linn," whose sudden appearance among us
laid disturbed in so remarkable a degree tho
tranquility of our quiet town. They went
prepared to take its soundings, and also to
ascertain its exact temperature. On arrivi ig at the designated spot, they found a
small dark pool, and into it the lead was
i .iiiifiliiitrly cast, which found bottom at
the surprising depth of six inches! The water wns so muddy that it was not thought
advisable to make use of the thermometer.
It was now recollected that a great deal of
ruin had recently fallen, and here the marvel
ended!!

WONDERFULPHENOMENO .
On the in lining ..f the I "th inst., a brisk
report wns in circulation through our good
town of Honolulu, that nn immense body of
water had burst through the suiface of Foil
Hill, and spread itself out upon its summit in
the form ofa lake, it was stated I lint the
water around the borders of said lake wns
cold, but that in the centre it was uul; and
thai its depth wus eight Inthums.
The excited natives were soon flocking in
crowds to the scenes of wonder. It was
judged that not less than 1,500 made the
pilgrimage in the course of the forenoon;
many of whom brought away calabashes
full of the water. Some ofthe curious pro-
otherwise have brought out in some editorial
scribbling. Tbe origin of lhe deep sensation which pervaded this community, for a
few hours, the reader cannot gather from
the foregoing remarks. Upon the most undoubted authority, it may be stated, that a
native woman, having been troubled in her
sleep for jnany nights in succession, at
length announced that a fountain was about
to break forth on Fort, alias Punch Bowl,
Hill. Tn test the truth of her dream, she
ascended the hill, when lo! a fountain was
to be seen. The report spread like an electric shock among the natives, and some of
the foreigners, it seems, had their curiosity
much excited.
Her Hawaiian ladyship,
(whoever she may be,) may, in truth, exclaim with Byron—

boarded us from some twenty canoes,
carrying from four to eleven individuals
each. Among the rest, the chief was on
hoard the ship, and very pressing in his
solicitations to the captain to go on shore, an
invitation which the latter transferred to me,
having heard me express a wish to that effect; but conditionally, that 1 should go in
a canoe, as be was not willing to venture a
boat. I necepted the condition without hesitation, and first provided myself with a few
heads of tobacco, and making the chief, who
had a. tolerable smattering of English, understand that I must return to the ship by sundown, I embarked along with himself, hia
son, and another native, in the canoe he had
come off" in. As soon as we were clear of
the ship, they hoisted the sail, and I had now
an opportunity of testing the power of the
canoe, and the skill of the people, as it was
blowing fresh, and we had to work directly
in the wind's eye. We made only three
tacks in reaching the land, but the continual sprays had completely drenched me
through, long before we got there. On
reaching the land, the chief took me by the
hand, and led me through a crowd of curious
and gazing natives, to Ins house, where he
pointed to a seat on some mats. A crowd
soon gathered round, and made me tho su'»jectof a very animated discussion, in which,
as among more civilized people, the ladies
were the principal taUcrs. Their remarks,
whatever they might be, were at all events
made in the most perfect good humor, their
bright eyes flashing with pleasure, and their
countenances being lit up with smiles Those
nearest me took mv hand and examined it,
and on my unbottoning my shirt sleeve, they
turned it up and made their comments on
my white skin with a degree of surprise I
should not have expected them to manifest,
as from their possessing a few words of English, it was evident I was not the first white
man they had seen, though I think it likely
not many had been on shore here, and thus
perhaps »oine of my n'tw friends might not
nave seen an European before. My dress
also was the object of a strict and searching
scrutiny, the shoes appearing to excite the
greatest share of surprize and admiration.
I took one of them off*, and gave it to one nf
my nearest neighbors, who passed it among
the rest, and in a few minutesit was returned
to my foot. When I thought I had sufficiently satisfied their curiosity in these respects, I rose to satisfy my own by a walk
more inland. I found the houses very numerous, but they consist of a roof only,
having no side-walls, but merely the posts
which support the roof, which is elevated at
its lower edge about three nnd a half or four
feet only from the ground; but they were

be observed as such, because God had
done so.
Kx. 34: -I —" Si* days thou shall work,
but on the seventh day thou shall rest: in
eariii" time and in harvest thou shall rest."
Here God allows six days in which men
may work, but positively forbids them to do
so on the seventh; and that too, in all seasons of the year, even when woik would be
the most pushing.
Ex. So: i, *J, —"These are the words
which the Lord bath commanded, that ye
s'ioul" do then. Six days shall work be
done, but on the seventh day there shall be
to you a holy day; u Sabbath of rest to the
Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall
be put to death."
The same prohibitione arc here repeated.
Lev. J'i: :), li—"Six days shall work he
done: but the seventh day ii the Sabbath of
serresl, a holy convocation! ye shall do no
vile work therein: it is the Sabbath of the
Lord in all youi dwellings Hul ye shall

39
THE PUIENB.
Here arc the same ideas as before, with
the addition of the command to attend puiilic worship; —a holy convocation.
Num. ■$: to —"And on the the seventh
day ye shall have a holy convocation: ye
•hall do no s>i vile work."
This nli is to the Offering nf sacrifices
and the firms of worship; toe people are
commanded to ensemble lbr woranip—all
work is forbidden,
)>eiit 5: l-l, i), —" Keep Hie Sabbath to
sanctify it, ns tne Lord ih.v God halo commanded thee. Six days liiou sank lalior,

bulb
Here'is a slight variation in words from
the command as it stands in Lx. SO: 3—but
liasall the | vi t icularity and explicit ness oflliul.
Ex 31: 14, 15—" Kveryoue thut dcliletli
it [the Sabbath] shall surely be put to death
for whosoever doeth any work theicin, thai
soul shall be cut off from among his people;
whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath
day, he shall surely be put to death."
And while the children
of Israel were in the wilderness, they found
a man that gathered sticks upon the Sabbath
day. And they that found him gathering
slicks, brought him unto Moses und Aaron,
and unto all the congregation. And the
Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be
surely put to death: all the congregation
shall stone him with stones without the
camp. And all the congregation brought
him without the camp, ami stoned him With
stones, so that be died; as the Lord commanded Moses."
I lero there is not only a prohibition of all
labor on the Sabbath, but actual punishment
inf 1ic-tt d when the command was broken.
The Sai bath prom Moski to the
time ok Christ —Thus fur \vc have seen
what the Scripture says of the Sabbath,
from the beginning down to tiic time when
(he children of Israel were about to enter
the promised laud We have seen what
the example of God was on its institution
what bis precepts and injunctions were, in
the moral law, und how they were curried
out in practice. Let us now trace the his
buy of the people in regard to the Sabbath
down to the tune of the S'viour.
In the time of Moeeß, the people of Israel
were threatened with grievous judgments
in case they should depart IVoiiLthe service
of God; and among other sins, the breaking
of the Sabbath is made prominent. Lev. Ib:
j.)—' And I will scatter you among the
heathen, and. will dra.v out a sword after
you: and your land shall be desolate, und
your cite s waste.
Then shall the land
enjoy her Sabbaths, an long as it li' th deanlute, and ye he in your enemies' land*, even
then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabaths
As long as it belli desolate it shall

a!s. shall be left of them, and shall enjoy
her Sabbaths while she lieth desolate without tin in."
This and other predictions are represented as being fulfilled in the Babylonish cap■<•;: 18, Jl— 'And they

Nehemiah also in correcting the morals
if the people in relation to Sabbath keening,
refers to the judgments God bad brought
noon them in the captivity from which they
had just returned.
—
"
'
Neh. 13: 1.3—" In those days saw lin
Judali some treading w ine-piesscs on the
Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading; i,s also wine, giapes, and figs, and all
manner of burdens, which they brought into
Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: anil I certified against them, in the day wherein they
sold viluals There dwell men of Tyre also
then iv, which brought fish und all manner
of ware and sold on the Sabbath unto the
children of Judali, and iv Jerusalem. Then
1 contended with llic nobles of Judnh, and
said unto tin in, What evil thing is Ibis that
ye do, and profane the Sabbath day • Did
not youi lathers thus, and did not our God
bring all this evil upon us, and upon the
city .' Vet ye bring more wrath upon Israel
by profaning the Sabbath."
Here is a plain admission lint Sabbath
breaking was among the sins for which God
inflicted punishments upon his people, and
that they were in danger of provoking Go<i
to inflict slill greater judgments by their perseverance iv this sin. Nehemiah lived near
the close of the Old Testament writings.
Fzekiel also who prophesied before and
during the time the children of Israel were
captives, in Babylon, in summing up the
story of the continued rebellions of the people, .says: L/.ek. iJO: I 1—" Moreover also
I gave llieiu my Sabbaths, to be a sign between vie and them, that they might know
that I mil the Lord that sanctify them. Hut
the bouse of Israel rebelled against inn in
the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes and they despised my judgments, ami
my Sabbaths they greatly polluted."
Also, iv su.Lining up the sins of the people of Jerusalem In his own time, he Bays:
Fzek ti'. B—'•Thou bast despised my holy
things, and hast pro'aned my Sabbaths."—
Again, verse -J.(i—'• Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy
tilings: they have put no difference between
the li dy and pro ana, neithet have they showed difference between the unclean and the
clean, and have hid their eyes fftiM my
Bab bathe, and 1 am profaned among them
Again, tSr.ek <3: 3<!—'• Moreover, thi*
they have done unto me: they have defiled
my sanctuary in the same clay, and have
profaned my Miiibiiths
We have thus seen that throughout the
Old Testament the Sabbath is spoken of by
God himself ai id his prophets as a holy day;
and we have eveiy where seen that a disregard to it was treat' das a great sin. There
is but one idea on this subject when ver it is
spoken of, and that is, that it is a sin against
God."
We quote now one or two passages which
will show that God especially blessed those
who kept the Sabbath.
Isa SO: ■*, 7—

servants; every one that keepcth tin- Sabbath
from polluting it, and takelh hold of mv
covenant ; even them will 1 bring to mv
holy mountain, and make them joyful in my
house of prayer."
Again, lsa 58: 13—" If thou turn avvnv
thy loot from the Sabbath, from doing thy
pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honor
able; and shall honor loin, not doing thine
own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure,
nor speaking thine own words: thin shall
thou delight thyself in the Lord; and 1 will
cause th- c to ride upon the high places nf
the earth, and feed ihee w.th the heritage
of* Jacob thy father, for the mouth of llic
Lord hath spolicn it."
Finally, in" looking forward to tin- latter
day glory, when the knowledge of the Lord
is to fill 4h« whole earth, the same prophet
says, lsa. Kb: 23—"And it shall come to
pass, that from one new moon to another
and from one Sabbath to another, shall all
flesh come to worship before me, saith the
mv
Lord."

of the manner in which the Sabbath wus
spoken of under the Jewish dispensation:—

KAMEHAMEHA III.,
king
of the
sandwich islands.
Sire—
I have the honor to dedicate to Your Majesty the
Notes, on these Islands, their population, religion, agriculture, and commerce, written by me, which have been printed in successive numbers of the Friend, beginning on the
&
first of May last.
It is possible that I may have been misinformed on some
matters of fact, and that I may have erred in many of my
views. All men are liable to mistakes, and to be led away
by their own theories or fancies; I may have been so misled, to a degree unknown to myself; if so, others will point
out my errors, and truths useful to your Majesty, your
Dominions, and your People, may be elicited by their refutation.
One only credit I claim, and that is, for the sincerity of
my desire to aid in promoting the prosperity of these Islands,
and the happiness of their native inhabitants.
That it may please the Almighty to permit you long to
reign over a religious, sober, virtuous, contented and happy
people, is the earnest prayer of,
aVJ •
Sire,
Your Majesty's most
Obedient humble servant,

Honolulu, April, 17, 1844.
Rev. S. C. Damon:
Dear sir,— Herewith I send you some
statistics of the American Protestant
Mission, established on these islands, in
which some of your readers may feel an interest.
In addition to results staled in the statistics, it may be remaiked that the Government
has assumed a more stable character. Written laws have been enacted, by which the
people are better secured Iroiu oppressive
exactions on the part of their rulers, and
encouraged to cultivate industrious and virtuous ha its The security, stability and
value of property, has been greatly enhanced
Diplomatic ihtercou'se lias been opened
with other and greater nations-, some of
whom have been phased to acknowledge the
independence of the islands, and express an
interest in their prosperity.
These political improvements are net
placed as results of missionary labors in the
statistics, In cause oilier causes combined
willi ii istsii nm y r Worts have tended to produce thim, and as also being without the
pale of direct missionary efforts.
Hut although the civil benefits derived
from missionary labors may he regardedn ore as incidental than direct, yet s reflecting mind will hardly fail to perceive that
they are to n gr< ater or less extent the natural consequence ofthem; and that the introduetinn of the pure and mild precepts ofthe
christian religion, and the increased tight ef
knowledge, must hire excited an important
and we may say an indispensable influence
in smeliuratiug tbe political condition of the
people.
The facts stated abundantly testify. In the
deep interest which the missionaries, and the
christian community bj uhrra llwyaie sustained, frel in everything, both civil and
religions, thai pertains lo the Veil-be ing of
the Hawaiian people, labor anil money
have been frci ly expendi d, and no other iclurn sought than their morel and physical
elevation ia the scale of being—their frw
conversion in Christianity.
A great change for Ihe better, we thin,
has already taken place,—which is, we doubt
not, in a great measure, in consequence of
the Divine blessing upon tbe efibits that
have been made.
It is true that society is' Still in a crude
stnte, and is susceptible of vast improvement
ut it is not the .i>s.i true, that ti.a
change through which it has passcJ during

3. In classifying the trading vessels, I have arranged
them according to the port or country toor from which
they proceeded, as the most natural way of showing
the countries or places with which the Sandwich Islands
have mercantile relations. The reader, therefore, is
not to suppose that the vessels which appear as to or
from Mexico, Peru, Tahiti, Ice, bore tho flag ofor belonged to those countries. The vessels put down as
American trading vessels, are only those which appear
to have come direct from the United States; besides
them, a majority of all the other trading vessels were
under the Amorican flag.

The facility of communication between the Sum!

they trade, is shown by the following averages of p.lanugos :

POETRY.
For the Friend.
AN EARLY IMPRESSION.
BY
A SAILOR.
How nil, when but a child, I've roamed
Among the tomb-stones grny.
And marked the records ol Ihe dead,
Whose ashes round me luy.
Here stood a splcndol monument.
Erected o'er the irreit,
Wlio. nil unconscious, stool henealh.
Nor cared for earthly stale.
While there lire simple Itc.-id-stonc marked
The peasant of the soil.
Whose bones amidst bis father's dust
Reposed from 'earthly toil.
Here lay the young, and there the old.
In one unnumbered hran:
Who. till the Resurrection Day,
The Earth bulb charge to keep.
While viewing o'er Ihe various tbron;
Of Adam's fniu'lv there.
My heart, though young, would ponder doep.
And something Ray, "prepare!"
Although since then I've n-andei'd far
O'or seas, and mountains high.
That inward voice hslb ne'er been hushed.
"Prepare,for thou must die!"
